Why are we passing state messages to the destination at all? Should they being doing anything with them?

the way singer does this (which I kind of like) is the destination outputs those state messages as a confirmation they were written to the destination

other than that I’m not sure what else a destination would do with that info

right this second though it’s not used for anything

ah so if it fails in the middle it at least tests you how far it got in writing?

lol do they actually do that or do they just explode on failures?

i thought they just exploded.

but i take your point. if a partial write happens that's nice to know. although it think better if we can just avoid partial writes.

Target specific 🤡

But the spec says target should output when it was definitely written
