Silent film with burned-in narrationOpen WebM directly
Stock projection / 43.36s
Hide sold out. Restore on receipt.
Warehouse reality changes customer discovery while Stock remains the authority and search remains a projection.
What You Will See
- Start sellableThe Astra wireless headset appears with six available units.
- Warehouse write-offStock records the reduction and the product leaves normal storefront search.
- Goods receiptA receipt adds twelve units to authoritative Stock state.
- Discovery returnsThe same product reappears after the updated availability reaches Catalog search.
Why It Matters
Customers should not discover a known sold-out product as if it were sellable—and replenishment should restore selling time automatically.
The visibility path may be asynchronous, but it never grants inventory. Checkout still asks Stock for the authoritative reservation.

What This Story Proves
Visible proof
A warehouse write-off removes the product from search and a receipt restores it.
Not claimed
Unknown Stock currently fails open; the film does not prove every variant-level availability rule.
