+# Live session-list updates
+
+Tracking: #26
+
+Live updates are an optional acceleration for an open server browser. The
+bounded `GET /v1/sessions` snapshot remains the source of truth, and join
+authorization still revalidates current capacity, presence, policy, and
+compatibility. A displayed player count is advisory, never an admission promise.
+
+## Snapshot, stream, reset
+
+Every `BrowseSessionsResponse` includes `streamCursor` in addition to its normal
+pagination cursor. Connect to `GET /v1/sessions/stream` with the same game,
+environment, protocol, optional region, and `excludeFull` filter. Send the most
+recent stream cursor as `Last-Event-ID`.
+
+| SSE event | Contract kind | UI action |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `session_upsert` | `sessionUpsert` | Add or replace the complete public projection by listing ID. |
+| `session_remove` | `sessionRemove` | Remove the listing ID. |
+| `reset` | `reset` | Discard local state, fetch a fresh snapshot, then reconnect with its cursor. |
+| `keepalive` | `keepalive` | Preserve the cursor and connection; do not change UI state. |
+
+Each SSE `id` equals the opaque cursor inside its JSON event. Cursors are signed,
+short-lived, monotonically ordered, and bound to the complete filter. A missing,
+expired, corrupted, foreign, future, or replay-gapped cursor produces `reset`
+instead of a potentially incomplete view. Do not parse or retain it as a stable
+identifier.
+
+Updates cover creation after fresh UDP presence, public-field/capacity changes,
+presence staleness and recovery, lease expiry, deregistration, operator or
+principal revocation, and visibility/region/protocol changes. Events contain the
+same bounded public `SessionListing` as snapshots. They never contain raw peer
+endpoints, lease tokens, punch capabilities, tickets, publisher subjects, or
+internal store identifiers.
+
+## SDK and polling fallback
+
+```csharp
+BrowseSessionsRequest filter = new()
+{
+    GameId = new("space-game"),
+    EnvironmentId = new("production"),
+    ProtocolVersion = 7,
+    RegionId = new("eu-central"),
+    ExcludeFull = true,
+};
+RendezvousClientResult<BrowseSessionsResponse> snapshot =
+    await browser.BrowseAsync(filter, cancellationToken);
+
+await foreach (RendezvousClientResult<SessionStreamEvent> update in
+    browser.StreamAsync(filter, snapshot.Value!.StreamCursor, cancellationToken))
+{
+    if (!update.IsSuccess)
+    {
+        // Switch to bounded polling with jittered backoff.
+        break;
+    }
+    // Apply upsert/remove by listing ID. On reset, discard and browse again.
+}
+```
+
+Cancellation or enumerator disposal closes the response and releases the server
+subscription. A normal connection-duration close is a reconnect signal: use the
+last applied event cursor. Repeated failures, unsupported platform HTTP stacks,
+and restrictive proxies fall back to snapshots with exponential jittered
+backoff, a capped interval, and `Retry-After`. Never open parallel streams to
+compensate for a slow UI.
+
+## TestClient
+
+```bash
+dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient \
+  --configuration Release --no-build -- \
+  watch --service https://rendezvous.example.invalid/ \
+  --game space-game --environment production --region eu-central --protocol 7 \
+  --run-seconds 60 --json
+```
+
+`watch.snapshot`, `watch.session-upsert`, `watch.session-remove`,
+`watch.keepalive`, and `watch.reconnect` are stable diagnostics. Add
+`--exercise-reset --script` to corrupt the snapshot cursor deliberately and
+verify a typed reset plus snapshot refresh. Use `--exercise-reconnect --script`
+while producing one update to close the first stream deliberately, reconnect
+from its prior cursor, and verify that the same ordered event is replayed.
+Polished list diffing, selection retention, animation, and accessibility remain
+in each game.
+
+## Bounds and slow consumers
+
+The v1 journal retains at most 4,096 public-only changes. It admits at most 256
+subscribers total and 64 per tenant, reads at most 128 changes per batch,
+waits a configurable 50 milliseconds after a live change and coalesces the
+resulting batch to the final change per listing, sends a keepalive every 15
+seconds, and closes a connection after five minutes. A consumer behind the
+replay window receives `reset`; it never acquires an unbounded queue.
+
+Normal optional-work concurrency and per-source/tenant rate controls apply for
+the stream lifetime. Exhaustion returns typed HTTP `429` before streaming.
+Shutdown cancels streams; reconnect only after readiness returns and expect a
+reset after a single-active restart because listings and replay are ephemeral.
+
+## Reverse proxy
+
+- Disable response buffering (`X-Accel-Buffering: no` is also emitted),
+  compression, transformation, and caching for `text/event-stream`.
+- Preserve `Last-Event-ID`; set upstream/read timeouts above the 15-second
+  keepalive and around six minutes for the five-minute connection ceiling.
+- Flush events promptly and use HTTP/2 only when streaming semantics survive.
+- Preserve the source-IP trust boundary and abuse controls; do not add a bypass.
+
+Verify the deployed proxy with an idle keepalive, update, reconnect, invalid
+cursor reset, slow reader, and graceful shutdown. An in-process pass does not
+prove that a production proxy is non-buffering.

+# Game integration seams
+
+Tracking: #20
+
+Use the [TestClient start-to-finish guide](test-client.md) before integrating a
+game. It proves the service and network path without engine or game code. This
+page documents only the seams that the diagnostic cannot choose for a game:
+package/version policy, ownership of the gameplay socket, host admission,
+metadata, credential custody, and deployment compatibility.
+
+## Packages and compatibility
+
+Consume `FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Client` and
+`FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Contracts` from the approved Gitea NuGet source and pin
+both to the same exact released version. Do not use a floating version range.
+The current release matrix is machine-readable in
+[`compatibility.json`](../releases/compatibility.json); the same window is
+available from authenticated `GET /v1/operator/status`.
+
+The authoritative package feed is
+`https://git.finalfactory.de/api/packages/HeiKyu/nuget/index.json`. Add it to the
+consumer's `NuGet.config` and map only Rendezvous packages to it; retain the
+consumer's existing NuGet.org mapping for other dependencies:
+
+```xml
+<packageSources>
+  <add key="FinalFactory" value="https://git.finalfactory.de/api/packages/HeiKyu/nuget/index.json" />
+</packageSources>
+<packageSourceMapping>
+  <packageSource key="FinalFactory">
+    <package pattern="FinalFactory.Rendezvous.*" />
+  </packageSource>
+  <packageSource key="nuget.org">
+    <package pattern="*" />
+  </packageSource>
+</packageSourceMapping>
+```
+
+When the feed is anonymously readable, no reader credential is needed. If
+registry policy requires authentication, use the platform's NuGet credential
+provider or a protected per-user/CI NuGet configuration populated by the secret
+manager. Never put a registry token in the project file, repository,
+package-source URL, or `dotnet` command argument.
+
+```xml
+<ItemGroup>
+  <PackageReference Include="FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Client" Version="1.0.0" />
+  <PackageReference Include="FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Contracts" Version="1.0.0" />
+</ItemGroup>
+```
+
+Run `dotnet restore`, then `dotnet list package --include-transitive` and verify
+that Client and Contracts resolve to the same exact version and LiteNetLib to the
+release matrix version before compiling the game.
+
+Release 1.0.0 targets `netstandard2.1`, requires LiteNetLib `2.1.4`, speaks HTTP,
+UDP, and connection-ticket contract version `1`, and requires an exact
+tenant-configured gameplay protocol match. A package patch does not silently
+change a wire version. Follow the [release and migration policy](../releases/README.md)
+when changing any dimension, and validate the generated
+[OpenAPI v1 document](../api/rendezvous-v1.json) rather than hand-building HTTP.
+
+## One caller-owned gameplay socket
+
+Create the game's LiteNetLib manager through `RendezvousNetListener`; do not open
+a separate NAT socket. The game owns start, stop, and disposal. A coordinator
+owns polling while it is active, so call its `Poll()` once from the game/network
+thread and do not also call `NetManager.PollEvents()` during that period.
+
+```csharp
+RendezvousNetListener networkEvents = new();
+NetManager gameplayNetwork = networkEvents.CreateManager();
+gameplayNetwork.ChannelsCount = 3; // set the game's required count before Start
+if (!gameplayNetwork.Start(gameplayPort))
+{
+    throw new InvalidOperationException("Gameplay UDP socket could not start.");
+}
+
+using RendezvousHostCoordinator host = new(
+    gameplayNetwork,
+    networkEvents,
+    mediatorEndPoint,
+    publishedSession,
+    joinClient);
+
+host.Poll(); // call each game frame while this coordinator owns polling
+```
+
+LiteNetLib defaults to one QoS channel. Set `ChannelsCount` before `Start` when
+the game protocol uses additional channels; both peers must configure the same
+count. Rendezvous does not choose, remap, or reserve a gameplay channel.
+
+Register normal game callbacks on `networkEvents.GameplayEvents`. Rendezvous
+reserves only its authenticated direct requests and forwards other callbacks.
+The same socket sends host presence, punches through the mediator, establishes
+the peer, and then carries gameplay. A NAT introduction is not success; accept a
+peer only after the coordinator reports the typed `Connected` outcome.
+
+`Poll()` does not fetch new invitations. Schedule
+`RefreshJoinAttemptsAsync` repeatedly for the entire hosting lifetime using a
+bounded caller-owned timer (the diagnostic uses 250 ms), never allow two refreshes
+to overlap, and inspect each typed result. The refresh performs HTTP work and
+queues a snapshot; it does not call the LiteNetLib manager. Continue calling
+`Poll()` on the manager's owning thread so the queued snapshot, presence traffic,
+and callbacks are processed. Run the lease maintainer concurrently and cancel
+both loops before disposing the coordinator.
+
+For example, start one sequential refresh loop when hosting begins and await it
+during shutdown:
+
+```csharp
+static async Task RefreshInvitationsAsync(
+    RendezvousHostCoordinator host,
+    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
+{
+    using PeriodicTimer timer = new(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(250));
+    do
+    {
+        RendezvousClientResult<int> result =
+            await host.RefreshJoinAttemptsAsync(cancellationToken);
+        if (!result.IsSuccess)
+        {
+            ObserveBoundedHostRefreshFailure(result.Error);
+        }
+    }
+    while (await timer.WaitForNextTickAsync(cancellationToken));
+}
+```
+
+On the joining side, create an attempt through `RendezvousJoinClient`, then give
+the issued attempt to `RendezvousClientCoordinator` using the same manager and
+listener. Cancellation, outcome reporting, bounded deadlines, fallback, and
+lease-maintainer examples are in the packaged
+[`FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Client` README](../../src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Client/README.md).
+
+## Host admission remains game-owned
+
+The coordinator privately validates and consumes the signed one-time connection
+ticket before accepting the LiteNetLib transport request. Do not create a second
+`ConnectionTicketValidator` beside it: the coordinator deliberately does not
+expose the expected or presented ticket. A connected transport proves only that
+Rendezvous authorized one attempt; it does not prove player identity,
+entitlement, capacity, ban status, or gameplay compatibility.
+
+Treat `AttemptCompleted` with a successful outcome and non-null `Peer` as the
+start of game-owned admission. Keep that peer outside authoritative gameplay
+until the game's normal authentication and admission exchange succeeds; disconnect
+it on rejection or timeout:
+
+```csharp
+host.AttemptCompleted += (_, completed) =>
+{
+    if (!completed.Outcome.IsSuccess || completed.Peer is null)
+    {
+        return;
+    }
+
+    BeginBoundedGameAuthentication(
+        completed.Peer,
+        onAccepted: AdmitToAuthoritativeGameplay,
+        onRejected: peer => peer.Disconnect());
+};
+```
+
+Revoke an attempt when the game cancels it. Never log a ticket or capability. A
+successful Rendezvous check must not bypass the game's authentication or
+authoritative server rules. `ConnectionTicketValidator` is a lower-level
+primitive for a custom transport integration that owns the complete request
+acceptance path; it is not an extra gate for `RendezvousHostCoordinator`.
+
+## Provision each game and environment
+
+Provision game/environment scope before issuing credentials. The policy fixes
+enabled regions, exact gameplay protocols, visibility and publisher trust modes,
+metadata schema and byte budgets, quotas, and whether a dedicated fallback may
+be published. Unknown or disabled scope fails closed. Follow
+[game provisioning and signing-key lifecycle](../security/provisioning.md) for
+the complete schema, principal kinds, secret providers, overlap, and revocation.
+
+Dedicated publisher credentials belong only on trusted hosting infrastructure.
+Never ship one in a player build, repository, image layer, appsettings file, URL,
+argument, log, crash report, or analytics event. Issue a short-lived credential
+scoped to one game/environment and its allowed regions from the trusted
+deployment boundary. Player-host grants are issued to an authenticated player
+session at runtime and are never embedded in the build. Player-host grants,
+dedicated publishers, anonymous unlisted hosts, and operators are separate
+principal kinds; do not interchange them.
+
+Rotate signing keys with an overlap:
+
+1. install a new authorized key inside its `NotBefore`/`SignUntil` window;
+2. begin issuing with it while the old key remains verify-only;
+3. wait at least the maximum credential lifetime plus allowed clock skew;
+4. retire the old verifier after `VerifyUntil` and preserve custody records.
+
+A suspected compromise is not routine rotation: stop issuance, revoke the exact
+key through the protected operator route, remove or replace it in provisioning,
+invalidate affected credentials, and follow the
+[key-compromise runbook](../operations/incident-runbooks.md#signing-key-or-issuer-compromise).
+
+## Metadata is public and policy-owned
+
+Treat listing metadata as untrusted public input. Define a small allowlist in
+each provisioned game's `MetadataValueMaxBytes`, set `RequiredMetadataKeys`, and
+keep `MetadataMaxKeys` and `MetadataMaxBytes` to the smallest useful values. Values
+must be display data only—for example a bounded map or ruleset identifier. Never
+publish player identity, free-form chat, secrets, access tokens, internal
+addresses, world state, or data needed for authoritative gameplay.
+
+The platform contract caps metadata at 32 keys, 256 UTF-8 bytes per value, and
+4096 encoded bytes total; tenant policy can and should be smaller. Build version
+and display name are separately bounded public fields. Games must escape metadata
+for their UI and must not infer trust from a listing being present.
+
+## Local, staging, and production path
+
+Use the checked-in Compose profile only for the local TestClient guide. For a
+real environment:
+
+1. provision the game/environment policy and externally held signing keys;
+2. deploy one active service behind the source-preserving HTTPS/UDP topology in
+   [secure single-active Linux deployment](../deployment/linux.md);
+3. install matching exact package versions in the game and set its service and
+   mediator endpoints through environment-specific configuration;
+4. pass the TestClient health/publish/browse/punch/direct-traffic smoke using a
+   short-lived diagnostic credential;
+5. run the topology harness and representative consumer-network trials; and
+6. monitor typed outcomes and bounded metrics before broad rollout.
+
+Rendezvous v1 has no relay, account system, matchmaking engine, server-browser
+UI, gameplay authority, or durable session database. A game owns player-facing
+recovery and an explicit fallback. Do not describe direct traversal as guaranteed.

+# SpaceGame consumer pilot
+
+Tracking: Rendezvous #21 and SpaceGame #3.
+
+The current SpaceGame checkpoint proves that the v1 client boundary establishes
+authenticated direct LiteNetLib traffic without taking ownership of the game's
+protocol, admission, player identity, entity identity, capacity, lifecycle, or
+gameplay payloads. Real Godot processes, reconnect, an explicit dedicated
+fallback, and a fresh Linux export now pass. The public package restore and a
+representative external NAT/CGNAT canary remain required before #21 can close.
+
+## Pinned checkpoint

+| SpaceGame gameplay protocol | `2` |
+
+At the checkpoint date, the Final Factory Gitea NuGet service was reachable but
+both `FinalFactory.Rendezvous.*` `1.0.0` registrations returned HTTP 404. The run
+therefore restored locally built candidate packages with the hashes recorded in
+[`spacegame.json`](../evidence/consumers/spacegame.json). This proves candidate
+compatibility, not immutable registry publication. The release package restore
+must be repeated from the public feed.
+
+## Proven local path
+
+The SpaceGame host and client each create one caller-owned `NetManager`, set its
+three gameplay QoS channels before `Start`, and give the same manager and
+`RendezvousNetListener` to the coordinator. Rendezvous authenticates discovery,
+join authorization, host presence, mediation, and connection outcome reporting.
+After traversal, SpaceGame performs a separate audience-bound admission exchange
+on its own reliable command channel. A trusted game-auth boundary mints the
+opaque assertion; the player process never receives the signing key.
+
+The authoritative host rejects expired, replayed, incorrectly signed,
+wrong-listing, duplicate-player, over-capacity, identity-mismatched,
+out-of-sequence, and over-rate traffic. It assigns a canonical game entity ID
+only after admission. The player ID, entity ID, listing ID, join-attempt ID, and
+LiteNetLib peer ID remain distinct values.
+
+The bounded real-process harnesses observed:
+
+- host publication and lease maintenance;
+- browser compatibility filtering and join authorization;
+- typed traversal outcome `Connected`;
+- successful audience-bound game admission;
+- reliable ordered frame-definition and spawn lifecycle records, reliable
+  ordered input, and sequenced state snapshots on the caller-owned gameplay
+  socket;
+- disconnect and a new authenticated session for the same durable player while
+  LiteNetLib peers and canonical entity IDs change;
+- immediate host lease renewal and successful host deregistration;
+- a fresh optimized Linux export running the host and client in distinct
+  hardened container namespaces; and
+- a forced punch timeout that connects the isolated client to an explicitly
+  advertised, non-loopback Docker-gateway fallback and repeats game admission.
+
+Rendezvous exposes no gameplay relay API; all lifecycle, command, and snapshot
+bytes are sent by SpaceGame through its caller-owned `NetManager`. Both Debug
+and Release builds passed. Both Debug and Release test runs passed 31 tests with
+zero failures. ExportRelease is optimized with debug symbols removed. The
+focused formatter, shell checker, fresh-export provenance gate, clean
+candidate-package restore, and adversarial branch review also passed.
+
+## Failure evidence
+
+| Path | Evidence | Status |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Incompatible protocol | protocol `999` returns no compatible listing and starts no traversal | Proven |
+| Stale/no host presence | typed `NoHostPresence/RendezvousService/HostPresence/Mediation` | Proven |
+| Traversal timeout | non-listening mediator produces typed `PunchTimedOut/LocalTraversal/NatTraversal/NatTraversal` | Proven |
+| Rejected game admission | invalid signature denies gameplay in the process matrix; wrong audience, expiry, and replay are regression-tested | Proven |
+| Capacity and duplicate player | game-owned roster rejects both and publishes current capacity | Regression-tested |
+| Configured fallback | typed `PunchTimedOut`, explicit non-loopback endpoint, same game admission, direct gameplay | Proven locally and across Linux namespaces |
+| Disconnect | host observes zero active players and final admitted count zero | Proven |
+| Reconnect | same durable player enters a second authenticated session with new peer/entity IDs | Proven |
+
+## Rendezvous-side compatibility fixes
+
+The pilot found generic integration gaps and keeps their fixes in this
+repository:
+
+- the local production-shaped smoke tenant accepts SpaceGame gameplay protocol
+  `2` and the bounded `mode` metadata key;
+- the Compose smoke tenant explicitly allows its private-network service name
+  and enables only the dedicated-endpoint fallback policy;
+- SDK guidance requires games using multiple LiteNetLib QoS channels to set
+  `ChannelsCount` before `Start` and states that Rendezvous reserves no gameplay
+  channel; and
+- the local credential helper rejects any signing-key file with group or other
+  permissions, in addition to its ownership, symlink, and hard-link checks.
+
+Documentation contract tests cover these generic requirements.
+
+## Remaining acceptance gates
+
+Do not mark #21 passed until both remaining external gates have direct evidence:
+
+1. restore the exact immutable `1.0.0` packages from the public Gitea feed; and
+2. run representative external NAT/CGNAT canaries and record the network
+   topology and typed outcome.
+
+SpaceGame #3 remains open independently for the production ENet replacement,
+64/128-player profiles, and SIGTERM/drain/save evidence. The consumer pilot
+does not claim those broader game-migration gates.

-`FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient` is the smallest supported public-SDK consumer.
-It exists for integration development, CI smoke checks, deployment verification,
-and operator diagnosis. It is intentionally not a production game client, game
-server, matchmaking UI, or relay.
+`FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient` is the supported executable proof that a
+consumer can publish, browse, authorize, punch, connect, exchange direct traffic,
+and diagnose a failure using only the public Client and Contracts packages. It is
+intentionally thin: a polished server browser and player-facing connection UI
+belong in each game repository.

-The automated scenario matrix, privileged Linux namespace run, and topology
-limitations are documented in the [deterministic topology harness](topology-harness.md).
+> **Traversal boundary:** Rendezvous v1 is not a relay and cannot guarantee a
+> connection through symmetric NAT, carrier-grade NAT, restrictive firewalls,
+> VPNs, or platform policy. It provides no accounts, social system, skill-based

-## Prerequisites
+The automated scenario matrix, privileged Linux namespace run, and simulation
+limits are in the [deterministic topology harness](topology-harness.md). The
+[SDK seam guide](sdk-seams.md) covers the few integration details that this
+executable cannot show.

-Start a configured Rendezvous service and note both its HTTP base URL and UDP
-mediator endpoint. The host needs a tenant-scoped publisher credential from the
-deployment secret boundary. Put it in an environment variable and pass only that
-variable's name when the default is unsuitable:
+## First local connection from a clean checkout
+
+Prerequisites are the pinned .NET SDK, Docker with Compose, OpenSSL, Python 3,
+`curl`, and `jq`. Run these commands from the repository root. The generated key
+and credential are disposable local fixtures, not production provisioning.

 ```bash
-export RENDEZVOUS_PUBLISHER_CREDENTIAL='<deployment-supplied value>'
+install -d -m 0700 deploy/compose/secrets
+umask 077
+openssl rand -out deploy/compose/secrets/signing-key 32

 ```

-Never put the credential in a command argument, URL, checked-in configuration,
-shell trace, or captured test fixture. The development server's signing material
-is process-ephemeral; credentials from a prior development process are invalid.
-
-## Manual three-terminal flow
-
-Start the host:
+Only the host terminal needs a publisher credential. Disable shell tracing before
+capturing it; the helper prints the credential on stdout so command substitution
+can place it directly in the environment without writing it to disk.

 ```bash
-dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient -- \
-  host --service http://127.0.0.1:5000/ --mediator 127.0.0.1:9050 \
-  --game space-game --environment development --region local --protocol 1
+set +x
+export RENDEZVOUS_PUBLISHER_CREDENTIAL="$(./scripts/mint-local-publisher-credential.sh)"
 ```

-Browse from another terminal:
+The helper accepts no arguments, reads the ignored `0600` local Compose key, and
+mints only `space-game` / `smoke` / `local` / protocol `1` for ten minutes. It is
+not a reusable issuer or an example for production. Never put the result in a
+command argument, URL, shell history, log, screenshot, support ticket, captured
+fixture, or source file.
+
+In terminal 1, publish a host. It stays alive for at most 60 seconds and exits
+after a joining peer completes the authenticated echo exchange:

 ```bash
-dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient -- \
-  browse --service http://127.0.0.1:5000/ \
-  --game space-game --environment development --region local --protocol 1
+dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient \
+  --configuration Release --no-build -- \
+  host --service http://127.0.0.1:8080/ --mediator 127.0.0.1:9050 \
+  --game space-game --environment smoke --region local --protocol 1 \
+  --display-name "Local diagnostic" --timeout-seconds 60 --run-seconds 60 \
+  --exit-after-echo
 ```

-Join from a third terminal. Omit `--listing` for an interactive choice:
+Copy the public listing ID printed by the host, or discover it from terminal 2:

 ```bash
-dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient -- \
-  join --service http://127.0.0.1:5000/ --mediator 127.0.0.1:9050 \
-  --game space-game --environment development --region local --protocol 1 \
-  --listing 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
+dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient \
+  --configuration Release --no-build -- \
+  browse --service http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \
+  --game space-game --environment smoke --region local --protocol 1
 ```

-Replace the sample UUID with the public listing ID printed by host or browse.
-Host and join each create one caller-owned LiteNetLib manager. That same socket
-sends presence/punch traffic, establishes the authenticated direct connection,
-and carries the ping/echo/ack/completion payload. The final completion confirms
-that the host received the reliable acknowledgement; none of this traffic passes through the HTTP
-service or UDP mediator.
+In terminal 3, either omit `--listing` and select interactively, or provide the
+copied ID for deterministic selection:

-Use `--script --json`, set `--listing` when deterministic selection matters, and
-check the documented process exit code. `--timeout-seconds` bounds each startup,
-traversal, or direct-traffic stage; a script host also uses it as its total runtime
-unless `--run-seconds` is explicit. A host can add `--exit-after-echo` so it
-terminates after the joining peer acknowledges direct traffic and receives the
-host's completion confirmation. Every wait is
-bounded by coordinator state and `--timeout-seconds`; no orchestration should use
-an unbounded sleep.
+Success means the joiner prints `join.connected` and verified direct traffic,
+and the host prints verified direct traffic before deregistering. The host and
+joiner each create one caller-owned LiteNetLib manager. The same UDP socket sends
+presence and punch traffic, accepts the authenticated peer, and carries the
+ping/echo/ack/completion payload; direct traffic does not pass through the HTTP
+service or mediator.

-The normal test suite contains a real process gate that starts the built Server,
-host TestClient, and join TestClient, waits for readiness and versioned events,
-and verifies direct traffic, cleanup, JSON shape, and secret canaries. Process
-trees are force-terminated in the test cleanup path if normal shutdown fails.
+Clean up secrets and the disposable service when finished:

-Useful success events are:
+```bash
+unset RENDEZVOUS_PUBLISHER_CREDENTIAL
+docker compose -f deploy/compose/compose.yaml down
+rm deploy/compose/secrets/signing-key
+```

- `host.registered`, `host.ready`, `host.direct-traffic`, and `host.deregistered`;
- `browse.completed` and `browse.session`; and
- `join.connected`, `join.direct-traffic`, and `join.outcome-report`.
+## Script and JSON automation

-Failure events preserve stable typed phases and outcomes. When a terminal outcome
-contains a configured dedicated endpoint, `join.fallback` reports `available`
-with endpoint type `dedicated`; no raw address is printed and no fallback is
-started implicitly.
+`--script` forbids prompts and selects the first compatible listing unless
+`--listing UUID` fixes the choice. `--json` emits one JSON object per line with
+`version: 1`. New optional properties may be added, but event names and exit
+codes are stable automation contracts. Informational events use stdout and
+failures use stderr.

-## What the proof does and does not establish
+Successful direct-connection and direct-traffic events include the coarse
+`addressFamily` value `ipv4` or `ipv6`. They never include the peer address.

-The deterministic loopback test proves the complete service/host/client protocol,
-ticket admission, and peer-to-peer payload path. Loopback is not evidence that all
-consumer routers, carrier-grade NATs, symmetric NATs, firewalls, VPNs, IPv6 paths,
-or platform policies permit hole punching. Same-LAN, separated observed endpoints,
-network namespaces/containers, mediator restart, and adverse topology coverage
-belong to the topology harness tracked by #14. Production rollout still requires
-tests from representative networks and a game-owned fallback policy.
+The deployment smoke performs the full health, publish, join, mediation, direct
+traffic, outcome-report, and cleanup flow using bounded waits:
+
+```bash
+dotnet build src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient --configuration Release
+./scripts/smoke-deployment.sh
+```
+
+For custom automation, capture JSON and preserve the process status separately:
+
+```bash
+set +e
+dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient \
+  --configuration Release --no-build -- \
+  browse --service http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \
+  --game space-game --environment smoke --region local --protocol 1 \
+  --script --json >browse.jsonl
+status=$?
+set -e
+jq -e 'select(.version == 1 and .event == "browse.completed")' browse.jsonl
+test "$status" -eq 0
+```
+
+Never use an unbounded sleep to orchestrate processes. Wait for versioned events
+such as `host.ready` and apply a deadline. Useful success events are
+`host.registered`, `host.ready`, `host.direct-traffic`, `host.deregistered`,
+`browse.completed`, `browse.session`, `join.connected`, `join.direct-traffic`,
+`join.outcome-report`, `watch.snapshot`, `watch.session-upsert`,
+`watch.session-remove`, `watch.reset`, `watch.reconnect`, and `watch.complete`.
+
+For a bounded live-directory diagnostic, use `watch --run-seconds 60`. Add
+`--exercise-reset --script` to prove fail-closed cursor recovery, or
+`--exercise-reconnect --script` while changing one listing to prove ordered
+`Last-Event-ID` replay after a deliberate disconnect. The full event and proxy
+contract is in [live session-list updates](live-session-updates.md).

+| Exit | Meaning |
+| ---: | --- |
+| `0` | Requested diagnostic flow completed successfully |
+| `2` | Invalid command or options |
+| `3` | Missing or invalid local configuration |
+| `10` | HTTP, registration, browser, lease, or socket failure |
+| `11` | No compatible session was available or selected |
+| `12` | Authorization or traversal reached a typed terminal failure |
+| `13` | Direct connection succeeded but the direct traffic proof failed |
+| `130` | Caller cancellation or Ctrl+C |
+
+## Observe a safe failure
+
+Run this after the protocol-1 browse in terminal 2 and before the terminal-3
+join (or restart terminal 1 first). The preceding browse proves that one
+protocol-1 host is present. Now browse for deliberately incompatible protocol
+`999`. The command emits a successful directory response with
+`browse.completed`, `count: 0`, then exits `11` to distinguish compatibility
+from a service outage:
+
+```bash
+set +e
+dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient \
+  --configuration Release --no-build -- \
+  browse --service http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \

+status=$?
+set -e
+jq -e 'select(.event == "browse.completed" and .phase == "directory" and .count == 0)' \
+  incompatible.jsonl
+test "$status" -eq 11
+```
+
+This is a diagnostic failure drill, not a bypass: unknown tenant scope and
+protocols still fail closed, and the local helper cannot mint a credential for
+them.
+
+## Diagnose by phase, not by guesswork
+
+Start with the exit code, then the last versioned event and its `phase`, `status`,
+and typed `outcome`. Endpoint categories may be
+reported as `loopback`, `private`, or `public`; raw endpoints, credentials,
+capabilities, metadata, and player identities are never emitted.
+
+| Symptom or last event | Distinction | Check next |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `host.configuration`, exit `3` | Local credential variable is missing or malformed before any request | Confirm the named environment variable exists, tracing is off, and the credential has not expired |
+| `host.registration`, exit `10` | Publisher authentication, tenant policy, metadata, quota, or HTTP failure | Use the typed status; compare credential scope with game/environment/region and the provisioned policy, then correlate protected server telemetry by operation and time |
+| `browse.sessions`, exit `10` | Directory request failed | Check HTTP reachability, `/health/ready`, rate limiting, and contract compatibility |
+| `browse.completed` count `0`, or `join.selection` empty, exit `11` | Healthy directory but no compatible visible listing | Match game, environment, region, and exact gameplay protocol; then confirm a host lease is still active |
+| Exact `join.selection` failure, exit `10` | Listing disappeared, is hidden, or scope no longer matches | Browse again; do not retry an old listing ID forever |
+| `join.authorization`, exit `12` | Service rejected the attempt before NAT traversal | Inspect typed category/outcome for policy, capacity, stale host, or active-attempt limits |
+| `join.punch` / `join.traversal`, exit `12` | Mediation or NAT traversal did not establish a peer | Confirm UDP endpoint/reply path, host presence, clocks, firewall/NAT behavior, and topology; use a game-owned fallback if policy supplies one |
+| `join.direct-connect`, exit `12` | Introduction occurred but authenticated direct admission failed | Confirm host is polling the same socket, the one-time ticket is current, and game admission did not reject capacity, identity, or bans |
+| `join.connected` followed by exit `13` | Peer connected but the direct gameplay-like echo did not finish | Inspect the peer lifecycle and caller polling; this is not an HTTP/directory failure |
+
+Stopping a host without deregistration may leave its listing visible only until
+the bounded lease expires. During that window, a join can produce a typed stale
+host or traversal outcome; it must not be interpreted as a healthy host. Restarting
+the single-active service intentionally loses all ephemeral listings and attempts,
+so hosts re-register and clients browse again.
+
+If a terminal outcome reports an authoritative dedicated fallback,
+`join.fallback` exposes only availability and endpoint type. TestClient never
+connects to it automatically. The game owns the decision, authentication, and
+connection policy. If no fallback is present, Rendezvous v1 offers no relay.
+
+## Production use
+
+Do not copy a production signing key to a diagnostic host. Supply a short-lived,
+least-scope publisher credential from the deployment secret boundary and set the
+external service, mediator, and matching scope variables described in the
+[secure Linux deployment smoke](../deployment/linux.md#http-and-udp-smoke).
+Run representative external-network tests; loopback success is not NAT coverage.
+Use the redacting, bounded
+[real-network canary procedure](../operations/production-readiness.md) for formal
+production evidence rather than committing raw TestClient JSON.

+# Unscouted consumer pilot
+
+Tracking: Rendezvous #22 and Unscouted #459.
+
+The current checkpoint independently proves that the v1 contracts are not
+shaped only around SpaceGame. A real Godot Unscouted host and clients consume
+the same Client and Contracts package surface, use one caller-owned LiteNetLib
+socket for NAT callbacks and gameplay, perform Unscouted's own keypair
+authentication and host admission, exchange gameplay, and exercise a
+game-owned fallback. The public package restore and representative external
+NAT/CGNAT canary remain required before #22 can close.
+
+## Pinned checkpoint

+The exact package hashes are recorded in

+empty package directory using only the consumer's checked-in `NuGet.config`
+returns `NU1101` for both packages. The verified local run used those exact
+candidate package files from the existing cache. This proves compatibility,
+not immutable registry publication.
+
+## Game-neutral service boundary
+
+Rendezvous #22 adds provisioning data, not an Unscouted branch in the server or
+SDK. The local production-shaped tenant permits protocol `1`, region `local`,
+public managed-dedicated listings, and the three bounded presentation keys
+`mode`, `world`, and `mods`. The short-lived credential helper accepts only the
+explicitly provisioned `space-game` and `unscouted` scopes and selects a
+distinct game-scoped signing-key ID and subject.
+
+The consumer rejects any metadata key outside its three-key presentation
+schema and neutralizes control/BBCode characters before display. Rendezvous
+never receives Unscouted player keys or resolved identities, colony authority,
+simulation or persistence state, fog/interest state, or gameplay packets.
+
+## Proven real Godot path
+
+The normal `NetLaunch` argument path recognizes `--rendezvous-pilot` and opens a
+dedicated scene. That scene uses Unscouted's real `LiteNetLibTransport`,
+`GameServer`, `GameClient`, `ServerAuthenticator`, and `ClientAuthenticator`.
+It is not a copied SDK adapter.
+
+One bounded run against the hardened Compose service started a host plus:
+
+- a protocol-`999` client that found no compatible listing;
+- a direct client that received an authorized introduction, completed
+  same-socket traversal, passed Unscouted keypair admission, and exchanged an
+  Unscouted gameplay ping/pong; and
+- a client pointed at a non-listening mediator that received a typed traversal
+  failure, applied the fallback decision in Unscouted code, repeated admission,
+  and exchanged the same gameplay ping/pong through the ordinary game
+  transport.
+
+The direct client also proved that both a `space-game` join request and a
+`production` environment join request return exact `NotFound` results for the
+Unscouted listing. The host renewed its lease, admitted two independently
+authenticated sessions, completed two gameplay exchanges, and deregistered the
+listing on shutdown.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Rendezvous Debug and Release: 299 tests passed in each configuration, zero
+  failures.
+- Unscouted Debug and Release: non-incremental builds passed; 3,310 tests passed
+  with 15 intentional skips in each configuration.
+- Unscouted gdUnit/Godot: 360 tests passed, zero skipped or failed. The harness
+  fix in Unscouted #461 keeps compilation headless and leaves the open editor's
+  build tree unchanged.
+- The final Godot pilot, ShellCheck, JSON/whitespace checks, formatting gate,
+  and adversarial branch review passed.
+- Export is not applicable because the Unscouted checkout has no
+  `export_presets.cfg`; both C# configurations and the actual Godot entry point
+  were exercised.
+
+## Remaining acceptance gates
+
+Do not mark #22 passed until both external gates have direct evidence:
+
+1. publish or expose the exact immutable `1.0.0` packages on the configured
+   Gitea feed and repeat the empty-cache consumer restore; and
+2. run the same Godot host/client path across representative residential,
+   CGNAT, and IPv6/multi-host networks, recording the topology and typed
+   direct/fallback outcome.
+
+The loopback run proves the real process, socket, authentication, and gameplay
+shape. It does not claim production Internet traversal coverage.

+# Diagnostic dashboards
+
+Tracking: #27
+
+Rendezvous provides two deliberately separate, optional views. The public
+session diagnostic helps a player or integration operator understand safe
+session-list state using only the public browse contract. The private Grafana
+dashboard exposes aggregate operational health through authenticated metrics.
+Neither view grants operator privileges or exposes player identity, endpoints,
+credentials, capabilities, or raw session metadata beyond the explicitly
+allowlisted public browse fields.
+
+## Public read-only session diagnostic
+
+The static diagnostic is disabled by default. Enable it only for approved
+game/environment scopes and keep the allowlist narrow:
+
+```json
+"Diagnostics": {
+  "Enabled": true,
+  "PollIntervalSeconds": 10,
+  "MaximumRenderedSessions": 100,
+  "Scopes": [
+    {
+      "GameId": "space-game",
+      "EnvironmentId": "smoke",
+      "ProtocolVersions": [1, 2],
+      "Regions": ["local"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Open `/diagnostics` on the same origin as Rendezvous. The page cannot choose a
+different backend, request private visibility, join a session, or call the
+operator surface. It renders a bounded snapshot, then applies ordered SSE
+updates. A replay reset, corrupt cursor, incomplete snapshot, transport failure,
+or deliberate reconnect returns to a fresh authoritative snapshot and bounded
+polling. Apply filter changes explicitly; **Reset filters** restores the
+configured defaults, while **Reconnect now** tests recovery without changing
+the selection.
+
+The page uses semantic HTML, labelled controls, visible keyboard focus, status
+text in addition to color, a reduced-motion mode, and a 320-pixel reflow. It
+creates untrusted content with `textContent` only. The endpoint sets a restrictive
+same-origin content-security policy, denies framing, disables MIME sniffing and
+browser capabilities, and marks every asset/config response `no-store`.
+
+This is a diagnostics convenience, not a game browser, management console, or
+availability monitor. Disable it independently by setting `Enabled` to `false`;
+all diagnostic paths then return `404` without affecting game traffic, metrics,
+or health endpoints.
+
+## Private Prometheus and Grafana view
+
+The observability overlay pins Prometheus 3.13.1 and Grafana 13.1.0 by immutable
+multi-platform image digest. Prometheus is not published to the host. Grafana is
+bound to host loopback, disables anonymous access and sign-up, and reads its
+administrator password from a file. The service and Prometheus share only the
+metrics bearer-token file. All three secrets remain ignored by Git.
+
+Create independent random secrets, then start the base service and overlay:
+
+```bash
+install -d -m 0700 deploy/compose/secrets deploy/observability/secrets
+umask 077
+openssl rand -out deploy/compose/secrets/signing-key 32
+openssl rand -hex 32 >deploy/observability/secrets/rendezvous-metrics-token
+openssl rand -base64 36 >deploy/observability/secrets/grafana-admin-password
+export RENDEZVOUS_UID="$(id -u)"
+export RENDEZVOUS_GID="$(id -g)"
+test "$RENDEZVOUS_UID" -ne 0
+docker compose \
+  -f deploy/compose/compose.yaml \
+  -f deploy/observability/compose.yaml \
+  up --build --detach
+```
+
+Visit `http://127.0.0.1:3000`, sign in as `rendezvous-admin`, and open the
+**Rendezvous operational overview** folder/dashboard. The provisioned panels
+cover scrape/store/drain health, listing and join capacity, HTTP volume/errors
+and p95, browse/SSE load, lease and join operations, UDP results/latency/bytes,
+admission drops, connection outcomes, pairing latency, presence/expiry state,
+signing windows, security/audit results, and process/GC/descriptor pressure.
+Capacity gauges use the approved single-process envelope of 25,000 listings and
+10,000 active attempts, with 70% warning and 90% critical thresholds. The UDP
+response series is a conservative admitted maximum, not observed egress.
+
+Validate merged configuration and checked-in dashboard structure before every
+rollout:
+
+```bash
+RENDEZVOUS_UID="$(id -u)" RENDEZVOUS_GID="$(id -g)" \
+  docker compose \
+    -f deploy/compose/compose.yaml \
+    -f deploy/observability/compose.yaml \
+    config --quiet
+./scripts/test-observability-assets.sh
+```
+
+For a real deployment, keep Grafana on a private authenticated management
+network instead of host loopback, replace the local admin login with the
+organization's supported identity boundary, enforce TLS at the edge, and set
+retention to the approved operational period. Do not make Prometheus public.
+Provisioning is read-only so local UI edits cannot silently drift from source.
+
+## Verify, rotate, and disable
+
+After startup, verify the dashboard shows `UP`, store `AVAILABLE`, a nonzero
+signing window, and changing request/UDP panels during a smoke run. Confirm an
+unauthenticated `/metrics` request returns `404`, the bearer-authenticated
+collector target is healthy, Prometheus is not bound on a host port, Grafana is
+not anonymously accessible, and dashboard query labels contain no identifiers.
+
+Rotate metrics access by writing a new 32-128 character token to the secret file
+with private permissions and restarting Rendezvous and Prometheus together.
+Rotate the Grafana administrator password through the same protected secret
+workflow. Delete both secret files after a disposable local run.
+
+To disable aggregate observability independently, stop/remove the overlay and
+set `Rendezvous:Metrics:Enabled` to `false`; `/metrics` returns `404` and the
+core service continues. To disable only the public session diagnostic, leave the
+overlay running and set `Rendezvous:Diagnostics:Enabled` to `false`.

+# Incident and change runbooks

+Tracking: #20
+
+These runbooks supplement the [signal and operator reference](observability-and-operator-runbook.md).
+Every procedure has four explicit gates: detect, contain, recover, and verify.
+Record timestamps, the release digest, bounded aggregates, audit fingerprints,
+and `X-Rendezvous-Correlation-ID` values. Never copy credentials, capabilities,
+connection tickets, signing material, player identity, raw IP addresses,
+endpoints, listing metadata, or full request bodies into an incident record.

+not a URL, command argument, environment-wide process launcher, shell trace, or
+ticket. All request shapes and responses are defined by the generated
+[OpenAPI v1 document](../api/rendezvous-v1.json).
+
+Before an incident, keep these protected records available without depending on
+the affected service: current and previous image digests, matching configuration,
+key IDs and lifecycle windows (not raw key values), the game owner/on-call map,
+capacity baselines, collector destinations, and a separately authorized
+break-glass operator key. Test management-source allowlisting and credential

+## Abuse or authentication spike
+
+### Detect
+
+- Alert on a baseline-relative increase in `rendezvous.limiter.drops`, HTTP/UDP
+  request rate, `rendezvous.operator.authentication` rejected/forbidden results,
+  registration requests by authentication status, queue depth, or p95/p99 latency.
+- Check `/health/live`, `/health/ready`, `rendezvous.store.available`, and
+  authenticated `GET /v1/operator/status`. Separate public-source rejection,
+  publisher credential failure, operator probing, and ordinary capacity growth.
+- Use only bounded operation/result dimensions and correlation IDs. Do not group
+  by raw address, token, subject, listing ID, or metadata.
+
+### Contain
+
+- Preserve the dedicated operator partition. Do not raise public limits during
+  an active spike. Apply source-preserving edge rate controls only when their
+  collateral effect is understood and UDP source address/port remains intact.
+- For one abusive session, call `POST /v1/operator/listings/revoke` with identical
+  `listingId` and `confirmListingId`. For a confirmed publisher subject, call
+  `POST /v1/operator/principals/revoke` with identical `subject` and
+  `confirmSubject` and a 1–600 second lifetime.
+- Revoke a signing key only when compromise evidence implicates that issuer;
+  broad key revocation invalidates every credential signed by it. Drain only if
+  the process itself must be isolated.
+
+### Recover
+
+- Correct the source integration, edge rule, leaked principal grant, or tenant
+  budget under change control. Let a bounded principal revocation expire only
+  after the owner confirms remediation; a repeated shorter revocation never
+  shortens the original deadline.
+- Restore normal limits gradually. If saturation caused state churn, allow leases
+  and attempts to expire naturally rather than deleting arbitrary state.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Require limiter drops, authentication result ratios, queue depth, latency, and
+  direct-connect outcomes to return to the same-region baseline for the agreed
+  observation window.
+- Confirm readiness stayed healthy or recovered, operator audit contains the
+  intended action/result fingerprint, revoked resources cannot create new work,
+  and unaffected tenants can still publish, browse, and connect.
+
+## Signing key or issuer compromise
+
+### Detect
+
+- Treat secret-manager access alerts, unexpected issuance, credentials outside
+  the expected region/kind, a signing-key expiry alarm, or unexplained publisher
+  authentication growth as compromise until disproved.
+- Identify the non-secret key ID, allowed credential kinds, game/environment
+  binding, `NotBefore`, `SignUntil`, and `VerifyUntil`. Do not retrieve or paste
+  raw material merely to compare it.
+
+### Contain
+
+- Stop the affected external issuer and deny further access to its secret.
+- From a separate uncompromised break-glass operator key with `RotateKeys`, call
+  `POST /v1/operator/keys/revoke` with identical `keyId` and `confirmKeyId`.
+  Runtime revocation is immediate but process-local.
+- Remove or mark the key revoked in authoritative provisioning before any
+  restart. Revoke affected principals/listings when narrower evidence supports
+  it. Do not drain automatically unless the running instance cannot be trusted.
+
+### Recover
+
+- Generate replacement material in the approved secret boundary, use a new key
+  ID, bind it to the exact credential kind and tenant, and deploy configuration
+  referencing the secret—never the secret value.
+- Resume issuance with short lifetimes. Reissue only to authenticated workloads.
+  When confidentiality is lost, do not use normal overlap to keep compromised
+  credentials valid; document the intentional invalidation window.
+- Rotate any release, registry, or operator credential exposed by the same
+  incident through its owning system; Rendezvous key revocation cannot revoke
+  unrelated systems.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Confirm `GET /v1/operator/status` shows the compromised key revoked and the
+  replacement signing, old credentials fail, new exact-scope credentials work,
+  and the result survives a controlled restart from updated provisioning.
+- Pass TestClient registration, browse, authenticated mediation, and direct
+  traffic with the replacement; monitor authentication and audit results through
+  at least the maximum newly issued credential lifetime.
+
+## Targeted listing or publisher revocation
+
+### Detect
+
+- Validate the abuse report against game-owned records and bounded Rendezvous
+  evidence. Determine whether the target is one listing or an authenticated
+  publisher subject. Do not use display name, metadata, or a raw address as
+  identity.
+- Confirm current aggregate state through `GET /v1/operator/status` and record
+  the correlation IDs that justified action.
+
+### Contain
+
+- Revoke one listing with `POST /v1/operator/listings/revoke`; the exact listing
+  UUID must appear in both confirmation fields.
+- Revoke a publisher with `POST /v1/operator/principals/revoke`; the exact subject
+  must appear in both confirmation fields and `lifetimeSeconds` must be 1–600.
+  This removes that principal's active listings and attempts and blocks new ones
+  for the bounded lifetime.
+- Choose the narrowest action. Do not revoke a tenant key for a single listing.
+
+### Recover
+
+- The game owner resolves the ban, account, workload, or configuration issue in
+  the authoritative game system. Rendezvous does not own user accounts or bans.
+- After the original revocation deadline, permit a newly authenticated publisher
+  to register. There is no un-revoke endpoint and no recovery of removed
+  ephemeral listings; the host creates a new listing.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Confirm the old listing is no longer browsable or joinable, the principal
+  cannot publish during its lifetime, and the audit action/result is present
+  without the raw target.
+- Confirm unrelated publishers in the same tenant and another tenant still pass
+  publish/browse/join/direct-traffic checks.

+- Planned restart begins with a recorded change and a healthy current baseline.
+  Crash recovery begins when liveness/process state fails or both TCP 8080 and
+  UDP 9050 stop answering. Distinguish dependency/readiness failure from a dead
+  process; liveness deliberately remains healthy for some recoverable failures.
+- Record active listing/lease/attempt aggregates. They are informational only:
+  v1 has no durable runtime database to restore.
+
+### Contain
+
+- For a planned stop, call `POST /v1/operator/drain` with confirmation exactly
+  `DRAIN`. Require readiness `503`, liveness `200`, and removal from new traffic.
+  Allow the bounded drain deadline to finish, then send SIGTERM.
+- Never start a second active instance while the old process owns the advertised
+  HTTP/UDP endpoints. On crash, fence the old process/host and verify both sockets
+  are released before replacement.
+
+### Recover
+
+- Start exactly one instance from the recorded immutable image digest and matching
+  reviewed configuration/key references. A restart intentionally loses listings,
+  observed endpoints, attempts, replay markers, and runtime-only revocations.
+- Ensure any emergency key revocation is also present in authoritative
+  provisioning. Hosts must re-register; clients must browse and start new
+  attempts. Do not restore stale ephemeral state from logs or backups.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Require live and ready health, UDP bind, store availability, and one active
+  target. Run the full deployment smoke and confirm host re-registration begins.
+- Verify no pre-restart listing or capability is accepted, runtime revocations
+  that should persist are configuration-backed, and latency/outcomes stabilize.
+
+## Release rollback
+
+### Detect
+
+- Trigger rollback from a predeclared objective: readiness loss, failed deployment
+  smoke, contract/package incompatibility, security regression, direct-success
+  regression beyond threshold, or sustained resource regression. Record the new
+  and previous digests and the evidence; do not move a tag.
+
+### Contain
+
+- Stop promotion and new rollout work. Drain and stop the faulty single active
+  instance, then verify both public sockets are released. Revoke affected keys or
+  principals only when the defect creates an authorization risk.
+- Preserve logs, artifacts, provenance, signatures, and the faulty release record.
+  Never overwrite or delete an immutable package/image to reuse its version.
+
+### Recover
+
+- Deploy the previous known-good image by digest with its compatible configuration
+  and key set. Do not run old and new concurrently. If configuration changed,
+  apply its reviewed down-migration before starting.
+- Publish a corrected build under a new SemVer after diagnosis; mark faulty release
+  notes withdrawn when appropriate.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Check the running image digest, live/ready health, one active target, UDP source
+  preservation, and the complete TestClient deployment smoke.
+- Confirm package/server compatibility from `GET /v1/operator/status`, hosts
+  re-register, and the rollback objective returns to baseline for the observation
+  window.
+
+## Capacity saturation
+
+### Detect
+
+- Page when `rendezvous.queue.depth` remains above 90% of the configured attempt
+  limit, lease-critical work is shed, `rendezvous.store.available` is zero, or no
+  ready instance remains. Warn at 70%, sustained `rendezvous.limiter.drops`, or
+  p95 latency above objective.
+- Compare CPU, memory, file descriptors, UDP errors, expiry churn, HTTP operation
+  rate, and typed connection outcomes with the measured
+  [capacity profile](capacity-and-resilience.md). Distinguish legitimate growth,
+  attack traffic, downstream telemetry pressure, and a regression.
+
+### Contain
+
+- Preserve lease-critical and operator reserves. Shed new browse/join work with
+  the existing typed `429`/`Retry-After` behavior; do not add an unbounded queue.
+- Apply per-tenant/source controls at the appropriate trusted boundary. If the
+  process is unstable, drain new work and recover on one replacement rather than
+  adding a second active replica; v1 state is process-local.
+
+### Recover
+
+- Remove the causal load or deploy a tested higher single-instance resource and
+  budget profile. Change CPU/memory and server limits together, using the numeric
+  gate and accelerated soak before production.
+- Long-term horizontal scaling requires a designed shared directory, replay, and
+  attempt authority. A generic load balancer is not that design.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Re-run the capacity/resilience gate at the chosen profile, then require queue,
+  limiter drops, expiry churn, latency, store health, and direct-success ratio to
+  remain within objectives through the production observation window.
+- Confirm termination still completes within `DrainDeadlineSeconds + 5` and the
+  public and operator partitions behave independently.
+
+## Privacy or telemetry incident
+
+### Detect
+
+- Trigger on any credential, token, capability, player identity, raw IP/endpoint,
+  listing ID, metadata, or caller-reported exact connection duration tied to an
+  event or identity found in logs, metrics, traces, crash reports, support systems,
+  or analytics. Aggregate HTTP/UDP duration histograms with bounded operation tags
+  are expected telemetry. Also trigger when audit data exceeds its approved 30-day
+  retention without an incident hold.
+- Identify the producing version, sink, access population, retention/replication
+  path, and time window without copying the exposed value into a new system.
+
+### Contain
+
+- Stop or filter the offending export and restrict access to affected sinks.
+  Preserve the minimum evidence under the incident process; do not take broad
+  diagnostic dumps that amplify exposure.
+- Revoke exposed reusable credentials/keys through their owning boundary. Listing
+  IDs and endpoints are not authentication secrets, but remove affected listings
+  if continued exposure creates risk. Notify privacy/security owners according to
+  applicable policy and law.
+
+### Recover
+
+- Patch the producer to the allowlisted telemetry model, test canary redaction
+  across logs/metrics/traces/output, and deploy through the immutable release
+  path. Delete or age out affected data from every sink according to approved
+  retention and legal-hold direction.
+- Replace exposed credentials and re-register hosts when necessary. Do not claim
+  that a service restart deletes copies already exported to collectors.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Search new telemetry using non-secret synthetic canaries and confirm no canary
+  or prohibited field crosses the boundary. Verify audit records contain only
+  fixed fields and fingerprints and that retention/eviction is operating.
+- Security/privacy owners confirm sink cleanup, access review, notification, and
+  monitoring closure before the incident is resolved.
+
+## Dependency or base-image upgrade
+
+### Detect
+
+- Open a reviewed change for an advisory, end-of-support date, pinned-digest
+  refresh, or planned package update. Record affected package/image, current and
+  proposed exact version/digest, advisory severity, exploitability, and required
+  deadline. Never float to `latest` as remediation.
+
+### Contain
+
+- For an actively exploited critical issue, restrict exposure or stop the service
+  under incident authority while building the fix. Revoking publisher keys does
+  not repair a vulnerable runtime. Otherwise keep the known-good release running
+  while the candidate is tested.
+
+### Recover
+
+- Update the SDK/base-image digest, lock files, license/advisory evidence, SBOM,
+  compatibility matrix, and release notes together. For LiteNetLib or a wire/API
+  change, apply the explicit version/migration policy rather than silently
+  replacing compatible bytes.
+- Run locked restore, formatting, Debug and Release builds/tests, public contract
+  and package gates, real consumer restores, reproducible artifact/image builds,
+  vulnerability scan, signatures, topology/deployment smoke, and capacity checks
+  proportional to the change. Promote the exact tested digest.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Verify signatures, provenance, checksums, SBOM contents, running digest, and
+  absence of the advisory in the shipped artifact—not merely the build host.
+- Require live/ready health, TestClient direct traffic, real consumer compatibility,
+  and normal latency/outcomes. Keep the previous digest and compatible config for
+  rollback until the observation window closes.

+
+Rendezvous v1 is **not production-ready** until every required gate in
+[`production-readiness-v1.json`](../evidence/production-readiness-v1.json) is
+recorded as `pass`. The machine-checkable decision is intentionally fail-closed:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/check-production-readiness.sh
+```
+
+Exit `0` means every required gate is present and passing, exit `3` means the
+record is valid but at least one gate is pending or failed, and exit `2` means
+the record itself is malformed or contains identifier-, endpoint-, account-, or
+credential-shaped data. Editing only the top-level decision cannot make the
+check pass.
+
+The checked-in record is an index, not a log archive. It contains one
+repository-relative evidence reference and a short categorical note per gate.
+Raw packet captures, client event streams, publisher credentials, public or
+private network endpoints, listing IDs, and player/account identifiers must not
+be committed.
+
+## Required decision matrix
+
+The local matrix covers immutable artifacts, Debug and Release verification,
+both real game consumers, the candidate capacity/resilience profile,
+production-process recovery, and the combined security/privacy/observability
+gate. These may be reproduced by the project team on a clean candidate commit.
+
+The external matrix remains distinct because a local namespace, loopback,
+container bridge, or second process on one machine cannot prove it:
+
+| Gate | Required evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| Public package empty-cache restore | A clean machine restores the exact Client and Contracts version using only the documented public sources. |
+| Signed publication | The immutable tag publishes packages, image digest, SBOMs, provenance, checksums, and verifiable signatures through the protected release workflow. |
+| Source-preserving UDP ingress | Packet capture on the service host proves the mediator observes each peer's real source tuple and replies from the advertised public tuple; no UDP proxy rewrites either direction. |
+| Same-LAN direct canary | Two independently operated game clients establish authenticated direct LiteNetLib traffic. |
+| Home-NAT direct canary | Host and joiner on distinct residential networks establish authenticated direct LiteNetLib traffic. |
+| Restrictive/CGNAT and blocked-UDP canaries | Each bounded join exits `12`, records a typed terminal category, and exposes the game-owned fallback policy without hanging or claiming success. |
+| IPv6 direct canary | Two external IPv6 clients record authenticated direct traffic and an observed `ipv6` peer address family. |
+| Public rate-shaped capacity | The documented HTTP/UDP workload mix meets its objectives through TLS, Kestrel, JSON, LiteNetLib, kernel sockets, and public ingress. |
+| One-hour endurance | The immutable production-shaped candidate completes the one-hour profile without a state, handle, memory, readiness, or latency failure. |
+| Alert delivery | A real alert sink receives both trigger and recovery notifications for the rehearsed outage. |
+| Cold-standby rollback | Drain, stop, socket release, replacement start, host re-registration, and rollback meet the process and host-visible recovery objectives. |
+| Documentation-only exercise | An operator who did not author the runbooks completes key rotation/revocation, outage, restart, re-registration, and rollback using only the checked-in documentation. |
+
+Failure or missing evidence is blocking. It is never converted into an accepted
+risk by changing the wording of the readiness note.
+
+When an external gate passes, add a redacted repository JSON attestation and
+point that gate's `evidenceRef` to it. The checker requires this exact shape and
+binds the gate to the evaluated candidate commit. `artifactDigest` is the SHA-256
+of the protected evidence bundle or public release record, not a peer endpoint,
+listing identifier, account identifier, or credential:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schemaVersion": 1,
+  "kind": "rendezvous-external-gate-attestation",
+  "gateId": "replace-with-the-exact-gate-id",
+  "candidateCommit": "replace-with-the-40-character-candidate-commit",
+  "result": "pass",
+  "performedAtUtc": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
+  "artifactDigest": "replace-with-the-64-character-sha256",
+  "evidenceLocation": "protected-operations-record",
+  "reviewerRole": "independent-operator"
+}
+```
+
+Allowed evidence locations are `protected-operations-record` and
+`public-release-record`. Allowed reviewer roles are `release-operator`,
+`network-operator`, `security-operator`, and `independent-operator`. The checker
+rejects a missing file, wrong gate, wrong candidate, malformed digest, naive
+timestamp, extra fields, or sensitive-data-shaped contents.
+
+## Prepare one immutable canary build
+
+Use the exact release candidate on every canary machine. Verify a clean checkout,
+restore in locked mode, and build the TestClient before changing networks:
+
+```bash
+test -z "$(git status --porcelain)"
+dotnet restore Rendezvous.slnx --locked-mode
+dotnet build Rendezvous.slnx --configuration Release --no-restore
+```
+
+Keep shell tracing disabled. The host receives a short-lived, least-scope
+publisher credential through `RENDEZVOUS_PUBLISHER_CREDENTIAL`; it must never be
+put in an argument, coordination file, evidence file, command transcript, or
+support message. Set the public HTTPS service URL and advertised UDP mediator
+tuple separately. TestClient rejects credentials embedded in the service URL.
+
+## Run a success canary across two machines
+
+On the host machine, choose `same-lan`, `home-nat`, or `ipv6-direct`. The
+coordination file is mode `0600` and contains only the temporary listing UUID.
+It is not evidence; transfer it through an approved private channel, then delete
+both copies.
+
+```bash
+set +x
+export RENDEZVOUS_PUBLISHER_CREDENTIAL='supplied-by-the-approved-secret-boundary'
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_ROLE=host
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_TOPOLOGY=home-nat
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_ADDRESS_FAMILY=ipv4
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_HTTP_URL='https://service.example.invalid/'
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_UDP_ENDPOINT='203.0.113.10:9050'
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_COORDINATION_FILE="$HOME/.local/state/rendezvous-canary-listing"
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_OUTPUT="$PWD/artifacts/canary/home-nat-host.json"
+./scripts/run-real-network-canary.sh
+```
+
+The host prints only that it is ready and waits for the authenticated exchange.
+On the joiner, read the securely transferred UUID without placing it in shell
+history and run the matching topology:
+
+```bash
+set +x
+read -r RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_LISTING_ID < "$HOME/.local/state/rendezvous-canary-listing"
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_LISTING_ID
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_ROLE=client-success
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_TOPOLOGY=home-nat
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_ADDRESS_FAMILY=ipv4
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_HTTP_URL='https://service.example.invalid/'
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_UDP_ENDPOINT='203.0.113.10:9050'
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_OUTPUT="$PWD/artifacts/canary/home-nat-client.json"
+./scripts/run-real-network-canary.sh
+unset RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_LISTING_ID
+```
+
+The host summary requires authenticated direct traffic and deregistration. The
+client summary requires connection, authenticated direct traffic, accepted
+outcome reporting, and the declared address family observed on the actual peer.
+The summaries deliberately contain no network tuple or listing identifier.
+
+For IPv6, set the topology to `ipv6-direct`, the family to `ipv6`, and use the
+deployment's bracketed IPv6 mediator form. Record unsupported operating systems,
+console platforms, VPNs, and address families as untested; an IPv4 pass is not
+evidence for IPv6 or a platform network policy.
+
+## Run a bounded failure canary
+
+Start the host from an independently reachable network as above. On the joiner,
+apply the reviewed firewall rule that blocks the relevant UDP path, or use the
+known restrictive carrier network, then set `client-expected-failure` and the
+matching topology:
+
+```bash
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_ROLE=client-expected-failure
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_TOPOLOGY=firewall-blocked-udp
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_ADDRESS_FAMILY=ipv4
+export RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_OUTPUT="$PWD/artifacts/canary/firewall-blocked-client.json"
+./scripts/run-real-network-canary.sh
+```
+
+This role passes only when TestClient exits exactly `12`, emits a non-empty typed
+authorization/traversal outcome, and emits the authoritative fallback category.
+A timeout without the typed terminal outcome, exit `0`, direct-traffic success,
+or an unbounded process is a failed canary. Restore the firewall after the drill
+and verify normal traffic again.
+
+## Private diagnostics and retention
+
+The harness creates raw JSON events under a randomly named `0700`-equivalent
+temporary directory with a process `umask` of `077`. Successful raw events are
+deleted automatically. On failure they remain in that private directory so the
+operator can triage locally; do not attach them to an issue before removing
+listing IDs and reviewing every field. Set `RENDEZVOUS_CANARY_KEEP_RAW=true`
+only for an approved short-lived diagnostic capture, then delete it manually.
+
+The sanitized summary contains the commit, clean/dirty tree state, UTC time,
+role, declared topology, observed address-family gate, aggregate booleans, and
+the retention policy. Formal evidence requires the default clean-tree check.
+
+## Public ingress proof
+
+Success through a public hostname is insufficient proof that UDP source/reply
+addressing is preserved. During a canary, an authorized operator must capture
+only packet headers at the service host and verify:
+
+1. each authenticated contribution reaches the mediator with the external peer
+   source tuple visible to the server;
+2. introductions are sent from the same advertised public mediator tuple;
+3. no load balancer, user-space proxy, service mesh, or destination NAT changes
+   the source or reply tuple expected by LiteNetLib; and
+4. malformed or unauthenticated traffic receives no amplified response.
+
+Store the approval, capture time window, candidate digest, topology category,
+and pass/fail result. Do not retain packet payloads or peer tuples in the
+repository. A failed tuple check blocks release even if one canary happened to
+connect.
+
+## Rehearsal and triage
+
+Run the security, capacity, observability, deployment, rollback, privacy, and
+incident procedures against the same immutable candidate. The independent
+operator records which runbook revision they followed, start/end time, observed
+alerts, recovery time, unexpected decisions, and pass/fail result. Update the
+documentation and repeat any failed or ambiguous step.
+
+Before changing the readiness record, reconcile every open roadmap issue as one
+of: `blocking` with an owner and evidence needed, `accepted-v1` with a bounded
+documented limitation, or `post-v1` with a filed issue. HA, active-active or
+multi-region routing, relays, platform authentication, and scale above the
+single-active v1 envelope are not silently accepted; each needs a traceable
+post-v1 issue. The current follow-ups are relay decision [#24], HA/multi-region
+shared state and routing [#28], scale beyond the measured envelope [#29], and
+platform authentication adapters [#30]. Run the checker after every evidence
+update. Only its `READY` result may support a production-ready claim.

+LiteNetLib defaults to one QoS channel. Set `ChannelsCount` before `Start` when

 The host polls join invitations asynchronously; that method only queues a
 snapshot and never calls the manager. `Poll()` is the sole SDK path that invokes
 LiteNetLib and dispatches its synchronized callbacks. Call it once per game
