Architect framing 2026-04-27 (sharpening v0.4.2): reconnect splits
along two orthogonal dimensions — connection recovery vs identity /
lineage change. Each axis has different protocol semantics; G5-5C
must handle both correctly.
Architect's protocol judgment points:
1. PeerSetGeneration only changes for identity / address / lineage
change. Brief disconnects / restarts / freshness flapping do NOT
bump generation.
2. Primary's degraded-peer loop only acts on currently-admitted peers
(§1.E reaffirmed).
3. After reconnect, primary still probes R/S/H — reconnect alone is
not assumed sufficient.
4. If a higher PeerSetGeneration arrives during reconnect / probe,
the in-flight recovery must stop or invalidate.
Changes:
- New §1.F with two cases:
Case 1 (identity unchanged): primary retries existing peer
descriptor; new sessionID minted (sessions are session-scoped, not
peer-scoped); probe R/S/H; catch-up / rebuild as needed; no master
re-emit needed. This is G5-5C's core path.
Case 2 (identity changed): existing UpdateReplicaSet T4a-5 path
(volume.go:229-246) tears down + recreates; in-flight aborts via
Close(); new peer with new lineage takes over.
- Misread guards documented: "primary keeps retrying old address
forever" rejected by Case 2 + §1.E (c); "master must bump on every
blip" rejected by Case 1 + §1.D.
- New INV-G5-5C-RECONNECT-ORTHOGONAL-AXES in §3.
- New §2 #11 (reconnect Case 1 — identity unchanged, no re-emit) and
§2 #12 (reconnect Case 2 — lineage bump mid-flight).
This is structural reaffirmation: the V3 code already does Case 2
correctly (T4a-5 teardown). Case 1 is what the probe loop adds. The
new tests pin both axes against future drift.
Standing by for architect single-sign of v0.4.3.
V2 Design
This directory currently contains both the active V2 design canon and a large set of working notes, migration packs, and historical comparison material.
Use this README as the navigation layer. If a document is not listed under
Core Canon, treat it as supporting or historical context rather than the
current source of truth.
Core Canon
These are the documents that define the current V2 model and should be read first.

Validation And Rollout
These define how the active design is validated, staged, or operationalized.

Working Reference
These are still useful, but they are not the shortest route to the current truth.

Migration And Historical Working Set
These files are mostly valuable for reconstruction of design history, migration intent, or earlier prototype shapes. They should usually not be the first docs opened during current development.

Cleanup Rule
When a document is superseded, prefer:
- keeping one canonical file in
Core Canon - leaving older reasoning in
Migration And Historical Working Set - avoiding duplicate "read first" lists across many files
Future cleanup should physically move or archive files only after their inbound references are reviewed.
Execution Note
- active development tracking lives under
../.private/phase/ - current phase contract and slice packages live there rather than in this directory
The original project-level copies under learn/projects/sw-block/design/
remain as shared references for now.
