One additional fixture for the inline example would be two call declarations with the same (trace_id, tool_call_id), followed by one result. The set-based check would accept that result while hiding that the association may be ambiguous.
For a contract requiring one declaration per scoped ID, counting declarations before checking results would distinguish zero matches (orphan), one (unique association), and more than one (duplicate declaration). If repeated declarations represent valid retries or duplicate transport records, that needs a separate attempt/event identity or an explicit deduplication rule rather than treating every repeat as invalid. Keeping those outcomes separate would make the diagnostic more useful than a single pass/fail. This suggestion concerns the snippet in your post; I have not evaluated the linked walkthrough.
