The walker's all-or-nothing guarantee holds only while the destination is not
concurrently modified (rehearsal and delete are separate walks).  The

keep-set and each section is capped at MAX_MANIFEST_ENTRIES; an over-budget
frame is rejected on the receiver with STATUS_ERROR rather than truncated.
