The stale-cache invite path is a real fail-open: a still-valid public package can already have been consumed or rotated, including via another account on the same installation. Always fetching invitation KeyPackages, while keeping discovery routes and failing closed on a miss, is the right root-cause fix. The new tests cover the cases that matter (shared-directory rotation, post-prewarm rotation, relay error/miss, future-dated records, route TTL, and the outbox republish fixture).
Non-blocking leftovers if you want a follow-up cleanup: unresolved is now every target, so reused_members is a constant and the directory telemetry "cache" branch is dead (CodeRabbit already flagged this). The same stats change also makes GroupCreateKeyPackageCacheReuse unreachable for any non-empty roster. Neither affects correctness.

Verdict
The premise is right and the fix is in the right place. A recipient can rotate or consume a KeyPackage while a sender's cached copy still validates cryptographically, and a shared per-installation public directory makes that worse, not better. "Fetch before every invitation, never fall back to cache" is the correct rule, it is enforced at all three real entry points (create, invite, reinvite recovery), and the test coverage for the failure modes that matter — relay error, relay miss, future-dated-only records, single-author fallback, rotation after prewarming — is genuinely good. CI is green across the relay runtime and CLI e2e jobs, so the cross-crate blast radius is real-tested rather than assumed.
What I would like resolved before merge is that the change stopped one step short of finishing itself, and one of those loose ends is a documented observability contract that is now false.
Should be resolved before merge
group_create_key_package_cache_reuseis now structurally unreachable for any non-empty create, so its exported counters go permanently flat, and three rows indocs/marmot-architecture/telemetry.md(243, 245, 259) now describe behavior that cannot occur — including an explicit "a prewarm should shift the later Create wait into this bucket". Retire the operation or update the rows.
Cleanliness (the theme of this review)
The diff is +321/-180 for a change whose entire content is removing a capability. It should be closer to net-neutral or negative, and the reason it is not is that the old shape was left standing with its reuse paths stubbed to zero:
unresolvedis an always-full vector,reused_membersis a constant0threaded through two structs, and the"cache"telemetry arm is unreachable.- The prewarm cache still stores complete
FetchedKeyPackagevalues when the only field anyone reads back isrelay_lists. Shrinking it to a route cache also deletes theinsert-preserves-inserted_atworkaround and the new unit test that exists only to pin that workaround down. fresh_or_cached_key_package(..., None)at two call sites, andvalidated_cached_key_packagedemoted to#[cfg(test)]so it can keep serving a test-only resolver whose tests assert the rule this PR abandons.
None of that is a correctness bug; all of it makes the shipped invariant harder to read than the code that implements it.
Assumptions worth stating (guideline 1)
- The description does not mention that the same-device local-account shortcut was removed. That is a different case from the shared directory cache it does argue about, and it introduces a hard relay dependency for inviting a local sibling account — visible in the extra
publish_key_packagetherelay_runtimefixture needed. - Prewarm now hits relays on every call for packages it can never use, with no debounce in the crate. If that is deliberate, say so.
Also worth a line
crates/marmot-c/CHANGELOG.md has an Unreleased -> Changed section. MarmotMemberKeyPackagePrewarmSummary::reused_members becoming permanently zero, and prewarm now failing closed when relays cannot serve a package, are both C-consumer-visible behavior changes with no entry.

Dead bookkeeping now that every purpose fetches.
unresolved is unconditionally 0..targets.len(), so:
reused_membersis a hard-coded0threaded throughMemberKeyPackageResolutionStatsfor no reason,network_resolved_membersis justtargets.len(),- the
HashSetcopy at line 458 and the"cache"arm at line 467-471 are unreachable —unresolved.contains(&index)is always true.
Collapsing this to "iterate all indices, emit \"network\", set the public reused_members to 0 in the From impl" deletes ~15 lines and makes the new invariant self-evident instead of something a reader has to derive from an always-full vector. As it stands the code still looks like it has a reuse path, which is the opposite of what the PR is trying to communicate. (CodeRabbit flagged the same thing.)

The prewarm cache should shrink to a route cache.
After this change the only field ever read back out of an entry is fetched.relay_lists (line 402-404). Nothing reads fetched.key_package, key_package_ref_hex, key_package_id, key_package_event_id, or created_at any more — get() hands back a whole FetchedKeyPackage and the caller uses one field of it. So the process keeps up to 256 full KeyPackages in memory for 5 minutes with no reader.
If the entry stored only AccountRelayListStatus + inserted_at, inserted where update_relay_lists already runs at the end of a Prewarm pass, then this whole insert becomes trivial and the following all disappear:
- the "preserve the original
inserted_at" workaround and its four-line comment (only needed because package refreshes re-enterinsert), - the new
package_refresh_does_not_renew_routes_that_expired_during_fetchunit test, - the stored-but-unused package material.
The PR decided prewarmed packages are untrustworthy; the natural follow-through is to stop keeping them, not to keep them and remember not to look. That also fixes the now-misleading doc at line 289 ("Successfully fetched packages ... remain cached") — they remain cached but can never be used.
Also note insert reads self.entries.get(...) before remove_expired(), so an entry that expires during the fetch is re-inserted already-expired. That is self-healing (the next get() purges it) and matches the new test, but it is a subtle enough dance to be worth not having at all.

Dropping the same-device local-account shortcut is unstated scope.
Removing MemberTarget::local_label also removed the case where the invitee is a local account on this installation and its own validated current KeyPackage is already on disk. That is a different case from the one the description argues about ("material cached by another account on the same installation" = the shared public directory projection): here the material is the account's own record, not a third party's stale copy.
The practical effect is a new hard relay dependency for inviting a local sibling account — crates/marmot-app/tests/relay_runtime.rs:11571 had to add an extra publish_key_package precisely because of this. Two things worth stating explicitly in the description (guideline 1):
- that this path was removed, and
- why a relay copy is stronger evidence of an unconsumed private bundle than the account's own local record, given that both go stale in the same window between a Welcome being processed and the rotation being republished.
I am not arguing it should be kept — fail-closed is defensible — but a reviewer should not have to infer a behavior change of this size from a test fixture edit.

The documented create-time telemetry contract is now false and one metric is dead.
create_group_with_initial_source_and_optional_telemetry (line 1531-1540) still selects between GroupCreateKeyPackageCacheReuse and GroupCreateKeyPackageNetworkResolution on resolved.stats.network_resolved_members == 0. Since network_resolved_members is now always unique_members, CacheReuse can only ever fire for a zero-member create. So app_group_create_key_package_cache_reuse_{duration_ms,attempts,successes,failures} go permanently flat for real creates, and any host dashboard built on them silently reads zero rather than breaking.
docs/marmot-architecture/telemetry.md documents the opposite:
- line 243: "includes either cache-only reuse or create-time relay resolution below",
- line 245: "Successful create-time lookup when every canonical member was satisfied by revalidated local/directory state. A prewarm should shift the later Create wait into this bucket.",
- line 259: "Captures local cached lookups plus relay directory fetches used to obtain invitee KeyPackages."
All three now describe behavior that cannot occur. Please either retire the CacheReuse operation with its snapshot fields, or keep it and update those rows — but the docs should not keep telling the next person to look for a prewarm win in a bucket that is structurally empty. This is the one item I would want resolved before merge rather than followed up.

Question: does prewarm need to hit relays every call?
Prewarm is a readiness probe — it cannot authorize an invitation and its result is thrown away. With the reuse path gone, the prewarm cache no longer suppresses any KeyPackage fetch, so a host that calls prewarm_group_member_key_packages on every roster edit now issues a relay batch per call for material it will never use, with no debounce anywhere in the crate.
The threat model in the description is about authorizing a Welcome with obsolete material. Answering "is this member invitable" from the 5-minute TTL cache does not authorize anything, and the final Create/Invite still refetches. If the always-fetch-on-prewarm choice is deliberate (fresher readiness signal), it would help to say so and to note the expected host-side call rate; otherwise letting Prewarm answer from its own TTL'd entry keeps composition cheap without weakening the invariant that matters.

Flagging, not asking you to delete: with this gate, validated_cached_key_package survives only for MarmotApp::member_key_package (lib.rs:4592), which is itself #[cfg(test)] and has exactly two callers — member_key_package_skips_local_legacy_cache and member_key_package_falls_back_to_current_directory_for_local_account (src/tests.rs:7796, :7827).
That second test now asserts "prefer the cached directory package for an invite", i.e. the precise behavior this PR removes from production. So a production helper is being kept alive by a test-only resolver whose tests document an abandoned rule. Per guideline 3 I would not expand this PR to rip it out, but it deserves a line in the description or a follow-up, because right now it reads as if the cached-preference path still ships.

Minor readability: with cached_entry hard-coded to None at both call sites (here and line 964), fresh_or_cached_key_package reduces to selection.value.ok_or_else(|| AppError::MissingKeyPackage(...)), and the helper's name now advertises a fallback that cannot happen. Calling that out directly would make the new rule legible at the call site instead of requiring a hop into key_package_records.rs to confirm None disables the cache arm. (directory/methods.rs:531 still passes a real entry, so the helper itself stays.)

The second commit finishes the first one. Invitation KeyPackages are fetched on every Create/Invite/prewarm, cache is discovery-only, and a relay miss no longer authorizes a Welcome. Shrinking the prewarm cache to route metadata, dropping reuse bookkeeping, retiring group_create_key_package_cache_reuse emission, and updating telemetry plus the C changelog make the shipped invariant match the code.
The RFC 9420 §7.2 gate is in the right place: parse_key_package (create/invite only), not the shared metadata/maintenance validator, so old private bundles can still process historical Welcomes. The regression covers every forbidden extension/proposal id on both profiles, proves OpenMLS will accept the signed bytes, and shows a successful unknown-capability retry leaves no pending commit.
Non-blocking leftovers: member_key_package is still a test-only resolver that prefers cached directory bytes, and prewarm still treats metadata-valid packages as ready even if the engine will later reject a default-capability advertisement. Neither weakens the mutation boundary.

Verdict
The caching half of this PR is right and is now finished. A sender-cached KeyPackage can already have been consumed or rotated -- and a per-installation shared public directory makes that worse, not better -- so "fetch before every invitation, never fall back to cache" is the correct rule. It is enforced at all three real entry points (create, invite, reinvite recovery), the cleanup the earlier reviews asked for actually landed (retired telemetry operation, prewarm cache shrunk to routes, reused_members pinned to zero with the export shape preserved, docs and the C changelog updated), and the failure-mode coverage is genuinely good.
My concerns are about the other change that arrived in the second commit.
Serious
- The RFC 9420 section 7.2 invitee-capability rejection is an independent protocol-strictness change with a real compatibility cost, and it is riding inside a caching fix. mdk advertised
RequiredCapabilitiesin every leaf until #1709 (2026-09-06, first shipped in v0.9.19); those packages remain lifetime-valid for up to ~3 months andrepublish_key_packagereuses the current artifact rather than rotating. So this makes peers on v0.9.18-and-earlier uninvitable, while the same PR removes the fallback that would have papered over it. RFC 9420 section 7.3 does not require the check, and accepting a stray advertisement is harmless. Split it out and state the rollout. Details inline. - The new refusal uses
EngineError::Backend, which the conformance simulator classifies asResourceand the audit helper records as"backend", unlike every sibling KeyPackage refusal. It also names no member, so a multi-invitee create fails with an unattributable message. Details inline.
Non-blocking
- Prewarm now fetches a package per member on every call and discards it; since create/invite refetch regardless, that query has no correctness role and nothing in the crate bounds it. A TTL'd readiness verdict would keep the semantics and drop the amplification.
crates/cli/CHANGELOG.md(the cohort changelog coveringwn-cliand MarmotKit) has no entry, thoughmarmot-cdoes.docs/marmot-architecture/invitation-recovery.md:7still describes the removed cache/prewarm shortcut.- Leftover from the old shape:
validated_cached_key_packageis now#[cfg(test)]and stays alive only forMarmotApp::member_key_package, a#[cfg(test)]legacy resolver whose two tests assert the cached-reuse policy this PR abandons. Worth deleting in a follow-up (flagging rather than asking for it here, since the resolver predates this PR).
Validation gap
At review time the head commit's Rust tests, Relay runtime tests, and Simulator and vectors jobs were still running; only fmt/check/clippy and the lighter jobs were green. The engine capability check is new in this commit, so the engine and simulator matrices are the ones that matter most.

Bundled change with the largest blast radius in this PR.
mdk itself advertised ExtensionType::RequiredCapabilities (0x0003) in every leaf until #1709 landed on 2026-09-06 (first shipped in v0.9.19). Those packages stay lifetime-valid for up to ~3 months (OpenMLS default 3 * 28 days + 1h, not overridden here), and republish_key_package deliberately reuses the current artifact rather than rotating, so they stay published. After this check, any peer whose published package predates that fix -- including everyone still on v0.9.18 or earlier -- cannot be created-with or invited at all. The same PR removes the cached-package fallback, so there is no second path around it.
RFC 9420 section 7.3 leaf-node validation does not require this check, and tolerating a stray 0x0003 advertisement is harmless: the group's required-capabilities computation is unaffected. So the strictness buys conformance tidiness at a real availability cost against our own recent releases.
Two separable asks: (1) land this as its own PR rather than inside a caching fix, since it needs its own compatibility decision; (2) state the rollout -- warn + telemetry for a release, or accept-and-ignore per RFC extensibility -- before failing closed on packages mdk generated four days ago.

EngineError::Backend is the wrong carrier for a deliberate policy refusal, and it is observably wrong downstream:
classify_engine_errormapsBackendtoSubjectFailureCategory::Resource(crates/cgka-conformance-simulator/src/subject.rs:2324), so a conformance refusal will be reported by the simulator as a resource failure.engine_error_kindrecords it as"backend", so forensic audit data cannot distinguish it from a storage/backend fault.- Every sibling KeyPackage refusal --
InvalidCredentialIdentity,InvalidAccountIdentityProof,InvalidKeyPackageLifetime-- is classifiedExpectedRefusal.
Separately, the message names no member. An app creating a ten-person group gets "default capabilities must not be advertised" with no way to tell the user which invitee must republish. A dedicated variant carrying the credential identity (or a per-member rejection at the app resolution boundary, where AppError already attributes failures by account) would fix both.

Now that Commit always refetches, the package fetched during Prewarm has no correctness role at all: it is discarded here, and its only output is the readiness counters. Every prewarm call is therefore a per-member relay KeyPackage query whose result is thrown away, and the only throttle is a README sentence asking hosts to debounce.
Since correctness no longer depends on prewarm freshness, the readiness verdict could live in the prewarm cache under the same 5-minute TTL the routes already use. That keeps the fail-closed semantics for create/invite (which refetch regardless) while removing a per-keystroke relay amplifier that the crate cannot bound. Non-blocking, but worth deciding here rather than delegating it to every host.

crates/cli/CHANGELOG.md is the cohort changelog ("including wn-cli ... and generated MarmotKit bindings") and has an open Unreleased -> Changed section, but got no entry. The same consumer-visible effects apply there: MarmotKit reusedMembers is now permanently zero, prewarm/create/invite fail closed when relays cannot serve a package, and CLI group create / invite of a local sibling account now requires that account's KeyPackage to be published and fetchable. The recent user-search change was recorded in both files.

Doc drift missed in this pass: docs/marmot-architecture/invitation-recovery.md:7 still says recovery resolves fresh KeyPackages "bypassing the initial cache/prewarm shortcut". After this PR there is no cache/prewarm package shortcut to bypass -- the only remaining difference for CommitFresh is that it also skips route reuse.

The fourth commit finishes the story the earlier reviews asked for. Invitation KeyPackages are fetched on every Create/Invite/prewarm with no cached-package fallback; InvalidKeyPackageCapabilities is an attributed ExpectedRefusal at parse_key_package only; and revision 1 is a durable, ACK-gated, restart-safe self-migration so this install stops publishing the advertisements Create/Invite now reject.
The migration shape matches the multi-step rules: private material and pending intent commit together, an old pending is superseded in the same slot with a newer timestamp, private bundles stay until expiry, generation_revision advances only after a relay ACK, and leftover fanout keeps the upgraded artifact. Frozen opens do not start it; direct account-runtime embedders still have to drive run_due_maintenance. The new regressions cover restart, signing/publication intent, zero-ACK, partial-ACK fanout, delayed Welcome, atomic supersede rollback, account isolation, and frozen opens.
Non-blocking leftover: prewarm still stamps route freshness on KeyPackage success rather than a completed relay-list hop (member_key_packages.rs 442–445). !fresh_prewarmed_routes only means discovery ran, and an incomplete hop can keep a durable cached inbox, then a NIP-65 package fetch starts a new five-minute deadline. Create will then skip discovery. Same 5-minute bound as before, and CodeRabbit already has the thread; resolve_relay_list_hop already returns the completed set if you want the comment to match the code.

Verdict
The caching half is right and is now finished, and the two follow-up commits answered my previous round: the refusal is a typed, attributed, expected-refusal variant instead of EngineError::Backend, and the missing rollout mechanism now exists. Full CI is green at this head (Rust tests 1-4, Relay runtime, Simulator and vectors, CLI e2e), so my earlier validation gap is closed.
I read the new migration state machine closely and it holds up: there is exactly one promotion site and it sets generation_revision next to upgrade_rotation_recorded; #[serde(default)] gives pre-migration records revision 0; supersede-and-retain in stage_key_package_replacement closes what would otherwise be an orphaned-private-bundle leak; retained material stays bounded by the not_after/consumption sweep; and a future revision read by an older binary will not downgrade-rotate.
My remaining concern is the rollout sequencing of the strictness gate, not its implementation.
Serious

Enforcement and its own migration ship in the same release. #1709 (v0.9.19, 2026-09-06) stopped generating the forbidden advertisement but never rotated already-published packages, and this PR is the first thing that rotates them. So on the day this ships, every peer whose current published package predates this release -- effectively the whole deployed base, since KeyPackages live ~3 months and only rotate near expiry -- becomes uninvitable by an upgraded sender, and this same PR deliberately removes the cached fallback that would have hidden it. Ask: either sequence it (migration in release N, refusal in N+1), or state the break explicitly in
crates/cli/CHANGELOG.mdandcrates/marmot-c/CHANGELOG.md. The current entry ("Recipients with older affected packages automatically regenerate on account activation after upgrading") reads as a self-healing implementation detail; what a host integrator needs to read is "inviting a peer that has not yet upgraded and republished fails withInvalidKeyPackageCapabilities". Details inline on the engine gate. -
Related, and the reason this matters more than it looks: the PR bundles three separable changes -- the cache-freshness fix, the RFC 9420 section 7.2 refusal, and the durable generator-revision machinery that exists only to serve the refusal. I asked for the split last round; growing the PR instead is a defensible maintainer call, but the practical effect is that the one change with cross-version compatibility cost is being reviewed as a footnote to a cache-correctness fix, and its justification (why reject rather than ignore) is still not written down anywhere in the PR, commit messages, or docs.
Non-blocking (inline)
wn-cli key-package check/fetchstill fall back to a cached package (crates/marmot-app/src/directory/methods.rs:531, viafresh_or_cached_key_package), so a diagnostic can report a package "available" for an account thatcreate-group/invitenow refuses on a relay miss. That file is untouched by this PR, so I could not anchor it inline.- Prewarm's per-member KeyPackage fetch is now pure discarded work;
fresh_prewarmed_routesno longer means what its name says;validated_cached_key_packagesurvives only as#[cfg(test)]; a paused runtime can now generate fresh key material; one dead line in a new test.

The refusal still has no written justification, and it lands with the migration rather than after it.
RFC 9420 section 7.2 forbids advertising default types, and #1709 already fixed mdk's generator. Section 7.3 does not require a receiver to reject such a leaf, OpenMLS accepts it, and mdk itself published these leaves for months without protocol harm -- so the cost/benefit of this gate is not self-evident and is not stated in the doc comment, the commit message, or the PR body.
The strongest argument I can construct for you is tree hygiene: once a non-conforming leaf is added, it lives in the ratchet tree for the life of the membership and every current and future member must tolerate it, so refusing at Add time is the only point where it can be kept out. If that is the reason, put it in this doc comment -- it is what makes the availability cost worth paying, and it is exactly what a future reader will need when they hit an uninvitable peer.
The availability cost is concrete: #1709 shipped in v0.9.19 but did not rotate already-published packages (republish_key_package reuses the current artifact), so the migration in commit 49d589d is the first thing that rotates them. Every peer still on <= v0.9.20 therefore stays hard-uninvitable until it upgrades to this release and its activation republish succeeds, with no sender-side override -- and this PR removes the cached-package fallback in the same change. Recommend either splitting the gate into the next release, or documenting the accepted break in the cohort changelogs (see the review body).

Small widening of what maintenance_paused permits, worth confirming it is intended.
run_due_maintenance runs the key-package branch when key_package_due && (!self.maintenance_paused || key_package_prepared). That exception exists so a paused runtime can finish publishing an already prepared exact event. With this condition, a paused runtime whose pending replacement is at an old revision now takes publish_fresh_key_package -> prepare_fresh_key_package -> stage_key_package_replacement, i.e. it generates new private material and a new authored event while paused, and abandons the prepared one.
It is bounded (once per revision) and the abandoned bundle is retained rather than leaked, so this is not a correctness problem -- but "paused" previously never minted new key material. If that is deliberate, a line in the README paragraph would settle it; if not, gate the regeneration on !maintenance_paused and let the pause exception keep meaning "finish the prepared publication only".

Prewarm now fetches a KeyPackage per member on every call and throws it away: this arm stores nothing, the prewarm cache holds routes only, and create/invite refetch regardless. The only surviving product of that query is the readiness verdict ("this account has a fetchable current package"), and nothing in the crate bounds it -- the README change instead asks hosts to debounce, which makes composition-screen typing an unbounded relay amplifier across every host.
A TTL'd verdict (cache Result<(), AppError> per account for the existing MEMBER_PREWARM_CACHE_TTL alongside the routes) keeps exactly the semantics you documented, keeps the fail-closed guarantee at the mutation boundary where it belongs, and removes the amplification without pushing the problem into every host. Non-blocking, but I would not leave "hosts should debounce" as the only defense.

Naming: this set now holds indices whose routes came out of the prewarm cache, i.e. reused rather than freshly discovered, and it is consumed twice by negation (!contains -> needs discovery; !contains && Ok -> renew the cache deadline). Reading the double negative against a name that asserts freshness is the hardest part of the new flow. reused_prewarmed_routes (or routes_from_prewarm_cache) would make both uses read directly.

Leftover from the old shape, worth a follow-up delete rather than a #[cfg(test)] demotion: this now exists only for MarmotApp::member_key_package, itself #[cfg(test)], whose tests assert the cached-reuse policy this PR abandons. Keeping a test-only resolver that contradicts the shipped invariant is the kind of thing that gets read later as evidence the invariant is softer than it is. (Flagging, not asking -- the resolver predates this PR.)

This account is created and never used -- the test keeps resolving through the same app, so the "new sender on the same installation" scenario the comment describes is not actually exercised. The staleness coverage below is real either way; drop the line and the comment, or resolve through a client for new-sender.

A recipient can rotate or consume a KeyPackage while the sender's cached public package still validates. Group creation and ordinary invites could then construct a Welcome using obsolete material, including material cached by another account on the same installation.
Fetch invitation KeyPackages from relays for composition prewarming and the final Create/Invite action, without cached-package fallback when resolution fails. This also applies to local sibling accounts. Fresh resolution avoids stale local authorization; it cannot prove that a recipient still holds the matching private bundle. Prewarming remains advisory and retains only bounded discovery routes. Existing batching, deterministic error ordering, and single-author relay fallback remain intact. Prewarm route freshness is renewed only after discovery and any advertised-outbox metadata hop complete; a successful package fetch cannot make an older cached route fresh. Exported prewarm and telemetry reuse fields remain compatible and return zero.
Create and Invite also reject correctly signed KeyPackages whose LeafNode capabilities explicitly advertise default extension or proposal types forbidden by RFC 9420 section 7.2. Unknown capabilities remain accepted.
InvalidKeyPackageCapabilitiescarries the authenticated recipient for typed callers, omits identities from diagnostic text, and is classified as an expected protocol refusal. This check does not affect historical Welcome processing or private-bundle validation.The refusal is a deliberate admission policy beyond RFC 9420 section 7.3 / OpenMLS validation: keep known nonconforming signed leaves out of new membership state. An inviter cannot repair the advertisement without invalidating its signature. The accepted compatibility cost is that an upgraded sender cannot invite a peer still publishing an affected package until that recipient regenerates and publishes a conforming package. The migration below helps recipients that upgrade and activate successfully; it cannot repair peers that have not upgraded. Cohort and C-binding release notes call out this break explicitly.
Automatically regenerate older local packages on account activation using a durable per-account-device generator revision, independent of app/workspace versions. Pre-migration records default to revision zero. Revision 1 marks packages generated without the forbidden default advertisements. Persist fresh private material and pending intent atomically, then advance the acknowledged revision only after a relay accepts the replacement. Failed signing or publication remains retryable across restarts; remaining relay fanout continues after promotion. Ordinary releases do not bump this revision. Paused maintenance may finish a prepared current-revision artifact, but generating a replacement for an older pending revision waits for resume.
Older pending artifacts may already have reached a relay. Supersede them in the same stable slot with a newer timestamp, retaining their private bundles until expiry. Previous unused current bundles retain the existing expiry/consumption policy. Frozen notification/read opens do not initiate this migration. Direct account-runtime embedders must continue driving maintenance.
Regression coverage includes cache and relay resolution, all forbidden capability IDs in both profiles, attributed refusal before membership mutation, migration on account activation, account isolation, frozen opens, restart and signing/publication intent, zero-ACK refusal, partial-ACK fanout, delayed Welcome decryption, and atomic rollback while superseding an old pending bundle.
