-The third trigger has a detail worth knowing: when `x-max-length` is exceeded RabbitMQ drops from
-the **head**, so the message that gets dead-lettered is the **oldest** one already queued, not the

-
-```
-=== x-death after x-max-length overflow ===
-  reason           maxlen

-Three messages into a queue that holds two, and `m-1` is the one on the DLQ. A bounded queue
-under sustained overload therefore dead-letters your *backlog* while continuing to accept new
-work — which is usually what you want for telemetry and exactly wrong for orders.
-
 `x-death` is a **list**, not a map — one entry per queue the message has been dead-lettered from,
 and `count` accumulates. That is how you build a retry limit: read
 `x-death[0].count`, and stop republishing past a threshold.
