Fixes #485
Summary
Root cause
Atelet can return after its client context is canceled while ateom is still unwinding the server handler and cleaning actor files. An atelet-only mutex prevents simultaneous request handling, but it does not cover that cross-process cancellation window. The shared lock remains held by ateom until its handler exits, and the operation ID prevents a delayed request from running against a newer set of actor files.
