Remarks
Read it immediately after IMQLock.acquire() resolves and IMQLock.locked() confirms you are the holder, then hand it back to IMQLock.release() — that is what proves the release is yours. There is no way to recover it later: once the deadlock timeout has freed the key, this returns the NEXT holder's token, which is exactly the confusion the token exists to prevent.
