Normative first: Component-StoreAndForward.md:83 specified the whole chunked,
ack-confirmed SfBufferSnapshotChunk resync protocol, which Phase 2 deleted. It
is rewritten rather than removed — the failure modes it reasoned about still
exist, they are just bounded differently — and it now states the
duplicate-delivery bound explicitly: a message can be delivered twice only when
the OLD primary delivered it and the status change had not yet replicated when
the gate flipped. One flush interval plus the in-flight ack, and unlike the old
model it does NOT grow with backlog depth or with how long a node was absent.
The N1 directional-authority and N5 orphan-row hazards are recorded as
structurally gone, not merely unguarded.
Frame-size known-issue amended: its 2026-06-26 resolution replaced the
intra-site hop with notify-and-fetch; Phase 2 then deleted notify-and-fetch
itself, so the 128 KB Akka frame constraint no longer applies to that hop in
any form. Successor ceiling recorded (4 MB gRPC cap via MaxBatchSize, which
batches by ROW COUNT), including that the failure mode differs — an oversized
gRPC message is rejected, not silently dropped.
Deployment docs gain the two operational constraints that have no home in code:
a site pair must be stopped and started TOGETHER (the SfBufferSnapshot compat
handler that made a mixed-version pair converge went with the replicator, and a
mixed pair now diverges silently), and a node offline beyond TombstoneRetention
can resurrect deleted rows on rejoin.
Both CLAUDE.md files corrected — each still said Phase 2 was NOT started.
Definition of done closed: build 0 warnings, all 10 suites green (3509 tests,
0 failures, 0 skips). Two DoD items needed amending rather than ticking: the
stale-symbol grep still matches 4 lines, all deliberate comment prose recording
what was deleted (a literal zero would delete the explanations that stop the
old design coming back), and the live gate has 10 evidence items, not the 9 the
checklist claimed.
Deletes the phase2 resume-state scratch doc, which said to delete it on landing.

Renames stale ActiveNodeHealthCheck references to OldestNodeActiveHealthCheck
(Task 7 rename) across the requirements + components doc sets, corrects
leader→oldest-member wording and the embedded IsActiveNode snippet, and adds an
explicit 'production TLS profile not yet implemented' roadmap note.
deploy/wonder-app-vd03 NodeName overlay edits deferred: that production deploy
artifact is not tracked in this repo (same as Tasks 16 & 20).
Object/List parameters and return values were shape-validated only (object vs
array), with no field-level/nested type checks — type-wrong nested data passed
inbound validation and failed only at script runtime. Add recursive type
validation (declared Object field types, List element type, scalars at any depth)
with path-qualified errors, symmetric across ParameterValidator and ReturnValueValidator.
Both validators now parse the canonical JSON Schema definition format (the
Central UI / MigrateParametersToJsonSchema output) via a shared recursive engine,
Commons.Types.InboundApi.InboundApiSchema, instead of the legacy flat
[{name,type}] array which they could not even deserialize from migrated rows.
The legacy flat-array form is still accepted on read for transition safety.
Undeclared fields are rejected at every level (consistent with the existing
top-level unexpected-parameter rejection); a present-but-null value satisfies
any type, only absence of a required field is an error.
TemplateEngine (alarm-script-ref ordering, native-alarm-sources not in
revision hash, composition cycle checks, 9-step pipeline), SiteRuntime
(alarm on-trigger scripts run with a restricted context; PreStart seeds
children from defaults before overrides arrive), DataConnectionLayer
(UnsubscribeAlarmsRequest stashed in Connecting), StoreAndForward (InFlight/
Delivered are dead enum values; notifications can park at 50 retries),
ExternalSystemGateway (CachedWrite returns void + enqueues directly; log levels).
