(a) Inbound API compile state (#75) is per central node: a recompile cleared the
known-bad record only on the node that answered, and the peer kept refusing the
unchanged script with SCRIPT_COMPILE_FAILED (the per-request revision check only
notices a changed script). Create / update / delete (ManagementActor post-commit),
RecompileApiMethod, and API methods written by a Transport bundle import now publish
InboundApiMethodInvalidated on the central cache-invalidation topic (#100 item 3).
The new InboundApiCacheInvalidationHandler drops that method's compiled handler,
known-bad record and cached ApiMethod row on the peer, which compiles the current
text on its next request.
(b) docs/components/InboundAPI.md no longer claims a direct DB edit stays stale
until restart: the per-request revision check picks it up once the node's cached
row expires (ApiMethodCacheTtl, 5 s). Component-InboundAPI, Component-Host and the
#85 cache audit describe the peer invalidation.
(c) Decision: the import's locked-override warnings keep EXACT (ordinal) name
matching, because FlatteningService matches override names ordinally. An override
differing from a locked member only by case never reaches that member's lock check
(the flattener drops it as unresolved), so a "targets a LOCKED member" warning for it
would be false. The comparer is now named (LockedOverrideNameComparer) and documented,
and pinned by tests on both sides (flattener + import).
Tests: the peer's known-bad record is cleared by a recompile (and validate leaves it
alone); create/update/delete and the import publish the invalidation; the handler
drops only the named method; composition root registers the handler; case-only
override gets no lock warning; the flattener matches override names exactly.

Audit (docs/plans/2026-11-09-central-cache-staleness-audit.md) of every central in-process
cache holding configuration or secret state, with its staleness bound on the peer central
node. Every config cache with peer staleness is TTL-bounded (5-60 s) and Traefik routes to the
active node only, so no peer case was clearly a bug and no cross-node broadcast is added; the
doc names the existing DistributedPubSub mediator (health replication topic) as the mechanism
if one is wanted. Owner decisions listed: RoleMappingCache 30 s revocation lag on the peer,
SitePskProvider caching a PSK forever across an in-place rotation (both nodes), and the #83
ExternalDefinitionLookupCache 10 s bound.
Fixed: ManagementActor API-method create/update/delete invalidated only the compiled handler,
not ApiMethodCache, so the node that made the change kept serving the pre-change row for up to
the 5 s TTL (a deleted method stayed callable; a cached not-found hid a new one). The handlers
now drop the entry post-commit, like the role-mapping cache.
Tests: ApiMethodCacheInvalidationTests (create/update/delete fail without the fix; a
negative control checks other methods stay cached).
