Can ResourceLimit object indicate out-of-stock purchases in Shopify?

If a store are using an external payment service, it may be able to purchase even if the item is out of stock, even if "Continue selling when out of stock" is not selected.
In preparation for that case, I would like to make a flow for order-cancel when an out-of-stock item is purchased in Shopify flow.

 

What does this ResourceLimit represent for Inventory state?

Is it the inventory "Available" value set for each product?

We are looking to add this to our docs shortly, but this helps explain how inventory works and how you see it in Flow: https://medium.com/@paul.nuschke/earn-more-by-automating-your-low-stock-processes-for-locations-vari...
