A heard reply whose resolution did not take (admit failed, or the keyed read errs) went back through untell and was told again. The answered
replies now wait in answered_replies, retried at each result and at close (settle_replies), one by one so no refusal holds another hostage;
untell serves only the lines she did not answer. Tests pin the retry, the close retry, the reply resolved elsewhere on a refused line, and the
unreadable in-force read on that path (told again, kept as retell).
