+"""await_intent.py — ASYNC CORRECTIVE PATCH: intent normalization at the
+execution boundary.
+
+PRINCIPLE: MODEL OUTPUT = INTENT. RUNE CONTROLLER = EXECUTION SEMANTICS.
+
+The model may express continuation intent in any quality — `await_operation
+(deadline_secs=1200)`, `await-operation [op_type=master_ci, sha=X]`,
+"sleep 300 then check CI", "poll until done". When a matching
+PendingOperation exists (or the deterministic resolver can derive the
+operation truth from git/Gitea state), the controller executes the
+CANONICAL continuation and discards model-supplied scheduling policy.
+
+Authority provenance for timing:
+  USER_EXPLICIT / EXTERNAL_CONTRACT / TEST_HARNESS /
+  GOVERNED_OPERATION_POLICY  -> authoritative, retained
+  MODEL_INVENTED             -> non-authoritative, ignored
+
+This module owns NO storage: it reads the existing W/R wait store
+(rune.event_wait) and git/Gitea state. The canonical continuation remains
+scripts/ci_event_wait.py run() (the T21.5 single-logical-await).
