The F2 live gate failed (10 value regressions over 4 blips): IsLateReplay
disarmed a ref on its first in-order notification, which arrives ~1 s after
recovery, while the SDK's late replay lands 4-6 s later. Equal source times
also passed, so a replay equal to the recovery read got through.
While the window is open each ref now carries a high-water mark (seeded at
arming, raised by the recovery read, advanced by every accepted notification);
a notification at or below it is dropped (equal included — OPC UA moves the
source timestamp on every value/status change). Null source time passes
without moving the mark. Window expiry still disarms entirely, so an upstream
clock step-back is never frozen outside the window. Arm/expiry serialised by a
lock so an expiry racing a re-arm cannot wipe fresh seeds.
