 ### Durable Execution
 
-Use durable execution when you wrap a time-consuming or side-effecting operation. The framework persists the result and replays it on recovery when the same call is encountered, so the function will not be called again and side effects are avoided. Action code outside `durable_execute` / `durable_execute_async` is always re-executed during recovery.

 **Best-effort replay:**
 - Results may not be reused if call order or arguments change (non-deterministic actions), which clears subsequent cached results and re-executes.
-- If a failure happens after a function completes but before its result is persisted, the call will be re-executed.
+- If a failure happens after a function starts but before it completes and its result is persisted, the call will be re-executed. See the "With a reconciler" section below.
 - In Python async actions, if `ctx.durable_execute_async(...)` is not awaited, the result is not recorded and cannot be replayed.
 
+**With a reconciler:**
+
+Use a reconciler for durable calls when the original call may already have completed but its result or failure has not yet been persisted, so the framework cannot determine during recovery whether the call needs to be executed again. A reconciler provides custom logic that can return the result or raise the failure for the durable call instead of re-executing the original call.
+
+- A durable call may optionally provide a reconciler that is used only during recovery, when the same durable call is revisited and no execution result has been persisted for it yet.
+- If the reconciler logic returns a result, the runtime persists and replays that recovered result.
+- If the reconciler logic raises an exception, the runtime persists and replays that recovered failure.

 To ensure exactly-once action consistency, you must configure an external action state store. Flink Agents record action state in this store on a per-action basis. After recovering from a checkpoint, Flink Agents consult the external store and will not re-execute actions that were already completed. This guarantees each action is executed exactly once after recovering from a checkpoint.
 
+The same persisted action state is also used by fine-grained durable execution.
