Split-Transactions for Open-Ended Activities

Summary: Proposes split-transactions for open-ended activities (CAD/CAM, VLSI, software development) where long, uncertain runs break traditional atomicity. Enables committing data that will not change, releasing it to serialize subsequent interactions and improve fault tolerance and consistency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
