12.32Downstream-supported idempotency is best

If payment API itself supports:

Idempotency-Key: PAY-123

that's extremely valuable.

Then even if Mule crashes:

retry same downstream key

provider returns same result instead of charging again.

General principle:

Use downstream-native idempotency when available.
