 ## Project status
 
-Rendezvous is currently in its initial design and bootstrap stage. The first implementation should establish the contracts, directory leases, LiteNetLib mediator, client SDK, thin test client, and a three-party integration test before either game depends on it for production connectivity.
+Rendezvous is under active roadmap development. The versioned contracts,
+directory leases, authenticated join attempts, LiteNetLib mediator, caller-owned
+SDK coordination, typed connection outcomes, and thin public-SDK diagnostic client
+are implemented. Deployment hardening, the broader NAT-topology harness, and
+the production-readiness roadmap remain in progress;
+participating games must not treat the current repository as a finished production
+service until those gates land.
 
 The ratified v1 boundaries, trust decisions, privacy rules, safety budgets, and
 threat model are indexed in [the architecture documentation](docs/architecture/README.md).
+The frozen v1 wire surface is documented in the
+[HTTP, UDP, and generated OpenAPI contracts](docs/contracts/README.md).
+Tenant policy, publisher/operator principals, and production key custody are
+defined in [game provisioning and signing-key lifecycle](docs/security/provisioning.md).
+The scriptable host/browser/join diagnostic and its stable automation contract are
+documented in the [TestClient integration guide](docs/integration/test-client.md).
+The always-on three-party scenarios, optional Linux namespace topology, and
+simulation limits are documented in the
+[deterministic topology harness](docs/integration/topology-harness.md).
+
+## Development
+
+The repository pins .NET SDK 10.0.301. From a clean clone, run the same gates as
+CI from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+dotnet restore Rendezvous.slnx --locked-mode
+dotnet format Rendezvous.slnx --verify-no-changes --no-restore
+dotnet build Rendezvous.slnx --configuration Release --no-restore
+dotnet test Rendezvous.slnx --configuration Release --no-build
+```
+
+Run the bootstrap server with
+`dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.Server`. It serves HTTP health endpoints and binds
+the configured UDP mediator port; both stop through normal host cancellation.
+The launch profile uses an ephemeral development-only signing key. Production
+startup fails closed until externally supplied game policies and `env:` signing
+key references resolve to valid key material; no reusable game secret is stored
+in this repository or the public Client package.
+The project dependency rules and supported runtime choices are documented in
+[project and dependency boundaries](docs/architecture/project-boundaries.md).

+# ADR 0004: atomic ephemeral state and single-active availability
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #6
+
+## Context
+
+Listings, leases, endpoint observations, join attempts, and replay decisions must
+move together. A partially committed authorization can expose an expired listing,
+reuse a capability, or introduce an endpoint that was never authorized. V1 is a
+single-active service, so it needs honest bounded in-memory behavior rather than
+a database-shaped abstraction that implies unavailable durability or scale.
+
+## Decision
+
+`IEphemeralRendezvousStore` is the atomic boundary for directory, lease, presence,
+attempt, endpoint, replay, revocation, and drain transitions. The v1 implementation
+serializes each transition under one process-local lock. This deliberately favors
+simple, auditable correctness at the initial 25,000-listing/10,000-attempt ceiling.
+It retains only immutable listing data, opaque credential fingerprints, observed
+endpoints, monotonic deadlines, and bounded idempotency/replay records.
+
+Every collection has an independent configured ceiling. An operation checks all
+of the capacity it needs before changing any collection. Exhaustion returns
+`CapacityExceeded`; it does not evict live state, partially insert an operation,
+or grow a fallback queue. Policy-provided per-owner listing and per-tenant active
+attempt quotas are evaluated inside the same creation transition, so concurrent
+requests cannot pass a check performed outside the store. New join authorization returns `ServiceUnavailable`
+when the atomic store is unavailable and `Draining` once drain starts.
+
+### Time and cleanup
+
+Expiry uses an injected monotonic clock. Wall time is used only to return an
+informational `ExpiresAt` value. Moving the wall clock forward or backward cannot
+expire or prolong authority. Cleanup runs deterministically at the start of every
+store operation and removes presence, attempts, listings, replay entries,
+idempotency records, and revocations at their deadline. Removal of a listing also
+removes its presence handle and every linked attempt before another caller can
+observe the store.
+
+### Concurrency and idempotency
+
+- Listing registration and join-attempt creation use a tenant-and-owner-scoped idempotency
+  key plus a canonical request fingerprint. An exact duplicate returns the
+  original live result; reuse with different input returns `Conflict`; replay
+  after the resource has expired returns `Expired` until the bounded idempotency
+  record itself expires. Configuration requires idempotency retention to cover
+  every listing and attempt lifetime, preventing a live duplicate after eviction.
+- Lease renewal is compare-and-swap by version. A stale renewal returns the latest
+  version as `Conflict`. Renew/delete races are serialized: renewal either commits
+  before deletion or observes the listing as absent.
+- Host presence refresh is an atomic whole-endpoint replacement because NAT
+  mappings can legitimately change. Attempt capabilities are different: the
+  first endpoint bound for each role wins, an identical datagram is idempotent,
+  and a different replay is rejected. Introduction is consumed once atomically.
+- Cancellation is checked before waiting for the lock and again after acquiring
+  it. A cancellation observed at either point makes no change. Once a synchronous
+  transition starts, it completes atomically and does not expose partial state.
+
+### Visibility and revocation
+
+A listing is visible or joinable only when its lease and authenticated UDP host
+presence are both fresh. Public browsing is tenant/protocol scoped, excludes
+unlisted sessions, and uses a stable listing-ID order with the contract page
+ceiling. Revoking a listing or principal removes every listing, presence, and
+attempt path in the same transition. A revocation is inserted before removal;
+if the bounded revocation pool is full, the operation rejects without deleting
+anything.
+
+### Restart and graceful drain
+
+A process restart creates a new store instance ID and starts empty. Old listing,
+lease, attempt, endpoint, idempotency, and consumption state is not recovered.
+Publishers must re-register; old callers receive typed `NotFound`, `Expired`, or
+`ServiceUnavailable` outcomes rather than an ambiguous success. No database is
+required or supported for the single-active MVP.
+
+Drain is idempotent. It immediately rejects new registrations, attempts, and
+lease extensions, while already-created attempts may bind endpoints and consume
+their introduction during the configured window (at most 30 seconds). At the
+deadline all active state is cleared atomically. Readiness is false while draining
+or unavailable, and application shutdown starts drain before teardown.
+
+## Future shared-store mapping
+
+The interface uses explicit typed outcomes, TTLs, compare-and-swap versions,
+idempotency records, and all-or-nothing multi-record transitions. A future Redis
+implementation therefore requires authenticated transport, tenant-prefixed keys,
+server-side scripts or transactions for each transition, TTLs based on the store's
+authoritative time, and deterministic mediator routing. It must preserve these
+semantics and pass the same contract tests before issue #18 may enable more than
+one active instance.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- V1 has deterministic failure and restart behavior without durable gameplay state.
+- A single lock is a measured capacity constraint, not a claim of horizontal scale.
+- Transport and HTTP modules cannot bypass the store for authorization decisions.
+- Operational code must treat `CapacityExceeded`, `Draining`, and
+  `ServiceUnavailable` as normal typed overload/availability outcomes.

+# ADR 0005: authenticated session lease and presence lifecycle
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #7
+
+## Context
+
+A host needs to publish a player-facing session without letting an HTTP request
+claim a public endpoint or remain visible after the gameplay socket disappears.
+Registration retries must be safe, credentials must remain opaque, and policy or
+ownership checks cannot race state mutation.
+
+## Decision
+
+The four host HTTP operations require `Authorization: Bearer <publisher credential>`.
+The signed principal supplies the authoritative game, environment, publisher trust
+mode, subject, and allowed regions. Request fields never widen that scope. Creation
+and update apply the enabled `GamePolicy` to exact protocol, region, visibility,
+bounded display/build/capacity values, and the allowlisted metadata schema.
+
+Capacity reported by a host is advisory directory information. Rendezvous bounds
+and publishes it but never treats it as final admission authority; the game host
+still decides identity, bans, reserved slots, and whether a connection may join.
+

+
+Registration returns a listing ID, lease ID/token, host-presence handle/capability,
+lease expiry, a 30-second renewal suggestion, and a 10-second presence-refresh
+suggestion. The authoritative ceilings remain 60 seconds for the lease and 20
+seconds for presence. Timing suggestions are server-controlled, not client-selected.
+
+The lease token and presence capability are 256-bit opaque values derived with
+HMAC-SHA256 from an in-memory per-process secret, a purpose label, the publisher
+subject, the idempotency key, a canonical request fingerprint, and a random
+per-registration derivation salt. Opaque IDs use separate purpose labels. Exact
+retries read the retained non-secret salt and therefore reproduce the original
+response without retaining plaintext credentials. Once the bounded idempotency
+record expires, a new salt rotates IDs and capabilities so an old token cannot
+regain authority. Metadata order is canonicalized before fingerprinting. The store
+retains the salt and only a second keyed fingerprint of each token. Restart rotates
+the derivation secret while the matching ephemeral state disappears.
+
+Renew, update, and delete require both the same publisher subject and the lease
+capability. Cross-owner or wrong-capability access returns the same not-found shape.
+Update may change display name, build label, advisory capacity, and metadata only;
+game, environment, region, protocol, visibility, trust mode, and opaque IDs remain
+canonical. Delete is idempotent and does not reveal whether another publisher owns
+the supplied ID.
+
+### UDP presence
+
+Only a structurally valid frozen `HostPresence` envelope or native LiteNetLib
+host-presence request with the issued capability can refresh presence. The public
+endpoint is the UDP packet's observed source on the host's gameplay socket; the
+HTTP API never accepts one. The bounded local candidate comes from the authenticated
+packet. Invalid or unknown inputs receive no response. ADR 0009 defines the later
+attempt-role use of frozen `ClientPresence` and native host/client requests.
+Presence expiry demotes public visibility but keeps the lease, so the same handle
+can restore visibility without changing session identity.
+
+Public listing responses contain bounded listing data only. They never contain
+public/local endpoints, lease tokens, presence capabilities, fingerprints, store
+keys, or canonical player identity.
+
+## Failure semantics
+
+- malformed or policy-invalid fields return a stable typed `InvalidRequest`;
+- an unsupported gameplay protocol returns `IncompatibleProtocol`;
+- missing/invalid publisher authentication returns `AuthenticationRequired`;
+- cross-scope authorization returns `Forbidden` without resource disclosure;
+- wrong owner/capability or expired state returns the tenant-hidden `NotFound`;
+- idempotency reuse with changed input returns `Conflict`;
+- publisher/global exhaustion returns `CapacityExceeded`; and
+- drain or loss of atomic state returns `ServiceUnavailable` and authorizes no join.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- HTTP registration alone can never make a public session browseable.
+- Plaintext session capabilities are returned to the intended host but are not
+  retained, logged, included in public listing DTOs, or exported as metrics.
+- Re-registration after restart is the recovery path; there is no durable session
+  identity or gameplay state in Rendezvous.

+# ADR 0006: bounded compatible session browser
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #8
+
+## Decision
+
+The public list endpoint requires game, environment, and exact gameplay protocol.
+Region is optional, page size is 1–100, and callers may exclude sessions whose
+advisory current-player count has reached the advertised maximum. Lists contain
+public sessions only and only while both lease and authenticated host presence are
+fresh. Unlisted sessions never appear in a list; they may be retrieved directly by
+their 128-bit unguessable listing ID only when the caller also supplies the exact
+game, environment, and protocol scope.
+
+Results use ascending opaque listing ID as a deterministic keyset. A cursor carries
+the last ID plus every compatibility/filter field, a five-minute expiry, and an
+HMAC-SHA256 signature under a per-process key. Tampering, expiry, or reuse with a
+different tenant/protocol/region/full filter returns `InvalidRequest`. Restart
+rotates the key, matching the loss of ephemeral listings.
+
+Pagination is a bounded live view, not a database snapshot. A record that remains
+eligible and whose ID is greater than the cursor is returned exactly once. Records
+removed or made stale disappear immediately. A record created after a page whose ID
+sorts before that page's cursor is outside that traversal; callers refresh from the
+first page to discover new sessions. This avoids skips or duplicates among stable
+eligible records without retaining per-browser snapshot state.
+
+The store reads at most page size plus one record. The service serializes against
+the 256 KiB response ceiling and shortens a page before returning it when metadata
+makes the requested count too large. A continuation cursor is emitted whenever an
+extra or byte-trimmed record remains. All cursor, page, metadata, property, scalar,
+and collection sizes are bounded before untrusted allocation can grow without a
+ceiling.
+
+Browser DTOs are fresh copies containing only opaque listing ID, exact compatibility,
+region, visibility/trust presentation, advisory capacity, build/display labels, and
+policy-validated string metadata. They contain no observed endpoint, lease,
+capability, ticket, credential fingerprint, derivation salt, principal subject, or
+store key. Metadata is display text: JSON encoding escapes markup, but game UI must
+still render values as text and must never execute markup, interpret endpoints, or
+use metadata for authorization.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Cross-game, cross-environment, incompatible, stale, revoked, expired, unlisted,
+  and optionally full sessions are removed before response construction.
+- Direct unlisted lookup is suitable for an out-of-band invite carrying the opaque
+  ID; human join codes remain future work and require their own bounded abuse model.
+- Host capacity remains advisory. The host makes the final admission decision.

+# ADR 0007: caller-owned .NET publisher and browser SDK
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #9
+
+## Decision
+
+The .NET client package exposes separate publisher and browser interfaces plus
+concrete clients over a caller-supplied `HttpClient`. The caller owns that client,
+its handler, base address, connection pool, proxy, and lifetime. SDK operations
+dispose every request, response, and response body they create, but never dispose
+the supplied client. The package targets `netstandard2.1`, depends only on the
+wire-contract package and LiteNetLib, and contains no Godot types, global client,
+service URL, publisher secret, or embedded game credential.
+
+Every operation returns `RendezvousClientResult<T>` with a stable error code,
+message, and optional retry guidance. Cancellation remains exceptional through
+the caller's `CancellationToken`; transport failures become `ServiceUnavailable`.
+Response bodies are streamed under the contract's 256 KiB browser ceiling before
+deserialization. Invalid or oversized success bodies become `InternalError` and
+never escape as partially trusted contract objects.
+
+The SDK retries only operations whose duplicate execution is safe: scoped reads,
+idempotency-keyed registration, lease renewal with the same lease token, complete
+resource update, and lease-token deregistration. It honors bounded server retry
+guidance and otherwise uses capped exponential backoff with jitter. Each retry
+creates a fresh HTTP request while preserving the caller's registration
+idempotency key. Configuration is copied on construction so later option mutation
+cannot change an in-flight client's behavior.
+
+`PublishedSession` holds the server-issued lease and presence capabilities needed
+by the host. Its string representation always redacts them. Update requests are
+copied before the lease token is attached, so the SDK never mutates caller-owned
+DTOs. The browser exposes one-page calls and bounded cursor traversal; cursor
+values remain opaque and caller requests remain unchanged.
+
+Lease maintenance is explicit. Creating a `SessionLeaseMaintainer` starts no task;
+the game chooses when to call `RunAsync`, owns cancellation, and awaits
+`DisposeAsync`. The loop uses the latest server-provided renewal interval and
+returns a distinct cancelled, disposed, lost-lease, or failed result. Terminal
+authorization, expiry, and missing-lease responses also raise `LeaseLost` so the
+host can stop advertising or re-register deliberately.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- SpaceGame and Unscouted can inject the publisher/browser interfaces in tests
+  without an engine runtime or real network.
+- Games must configure an absolute `HttpClient.BaseAddress` (or equivalent
+  handler routing), obtain publisher credentials from their deployment boundary,
+  and explicitly run and dispose lease maintenance.
+- The versioned client public-API snapshot and live-server integration tests fail
+  together when SDK and HTTP contracts drift.

+# ADR 0008: scoped join attempts and one-time connection tickets
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #10
+
+## Decision
+
+Join creation is an unauthenticated public operation because v1 does not treat a
+Rendezvous caller as game identity. The HTTP source address is normalized and
+converted to a process-keyed opaque subject for idempotency and bounded policy
+accounting; raw addresses and the derived subject are never returned or logged.
+A successful request means only that this network client may try to connect to
+this active session. It does not reserve capacity or grant gameplay admission.
+
+Creation validates the v1 contract, caller idempotency key, enabled tenant policy,
+exact gameplay protocol, listing scope, live lease, and fresh authenticated host
+presence in one atomic store operation. A listing advertised as full remains
+joinable because its player count is advisory and the game host owns the final
+capacity, identity, ban, and admission decision.
+
+Each attempt derives independent host-punch, client-punch, and connection-ticket
+credentials plus opaque attempt and mediation IDs from a process-ephemeral HMAC
+key, the client subject, the complete canonical request fingerprint, a fresh salt,
+and a purpose/role label. Credentials are 32-byte base64url values (43 characters),
+below both the 192-character Rendezvous capability ceiling and LiteNetLib's
+256-character NAT token ceiling. The connection ticket uses half of that payload
+for its attempt ID and half for an independently derived 128-bit authenticator, so
+the SDK can correlate concurrent introductions without increasing UDP response
+size. State retains keyed credential fingerprints, derivation inputs, and salt—not
+issued plaintext. All diagnostic string representations redact credentials and
+derivation material.
+
+The client receives only its punch capability. A host polls its own listing with
+the lease token in `X-Rendezvous-Lease-Token` and receives only host-role
+capabilities through a signed, listing-bound, five-minute cursor. Replaying an
+identical join request returns the same live attempt; changing the request under
+the same owner/key conflicts. A client may cancel with its punch capability in
+`X-Rendezvous-Client-Punch-Capability`; cancellation atomically marks the attempt
+and retains a bounded tombstone until its original expiry. Host polling returns
+that tombstone so a coordinator can revoke any local ticket authorization, while
+endpoint binding, introduction, ticket issuance, and ticket consumption all
+reject the cancelled attempt. Listing deletion, expiry, revocation, or process
+restart removes every associated attempt and credential fingerprint.
+
+Endpoint binding remains role- and capability-specific. The first endpoint
+observed for a role wins atomically; an exact UDP duplicate is idempotent, while
+endpoint or role substitution is rejected. An introduction is consumable once
+only after both roles bind, so concurrent attempts for the same listing cannot
+cross-wire.
+
+The connection ticket is distinct from both punch capabilities and is reproduced
+only after introduction succeeds. Its window begins at that moment and lasts at
+most 20 seconds without outliving the 30-second attempt. The server has an atomic
+fingerprint-consumption seam for mediator tests and revocation. On the game host,
+the SDK's bounded `ConnectionTicketValidator` stores a process-keyed digest,
+accepts an exact ticket once under a lock, rejects altered/cross-attempt/expired/
+revoked/replayed tickets, and zeroes retained digests and key material on disposal.
+Issue #11 carries the fixed-size ticket in the authenticated introduction. Issue
+#12 extracts its embedded attempt ID, bounds the host's local authorization window
+by both the host-polled attempt expiry and the configured ticket lifetime, then
+wires one-time consumption into the caller-owned coordinator. Both peers receive
+a digest of the exact expected ticket over HTTP and reject any syntactically valid
+but unauthenticated introduction token. Embedding the ID prevents concurrent or
+late introductions from cross-binding a valid ticket while preserving the
+mediator's 2.0 response-byte amplification ceiling.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A join attempt is transport authorization, never proof of player identity or a
+  game slot.
+- Network-address-derived subjects are process-local abuse/idempotency scopes,
+  not stable user identifiers; stronger authenticated player scopes require a
+  future game-owned identity contract.
+- Cancellation after a ticket has reached a host must also revoke that host's
+  local validator entry; coordinator wiring owns that race in issue #12.
+- Capability and ticket plaintext never enter browser results, state snapshots,
+  logs, metrics, or generated string representations.

+# ADR 0009: authenticated bounded LiteNetLib NAT mediator
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #11
+
+## Decision
+
+The server owns one LiteNetLib `NetManager` and its `NatPunchModule` on the
+configured UDP endpoint. It runs in manual mode with a configured maximum number
+of datagrams per poll and a short caller-owned poll interval. LiteNetLib events
+are unsynchronized so authenticated requests are processed immediately on that
+single polling path rather than accumulated in an unbounded event queue. The
+mediator never accepts a LiteNetLib gameplay connection or handles application
+payloads.
+
+The packet layer also consumes the frozen v1 presence envelope on the same
+socket. Native NAT requests use a canonical fixed-size 192-character token that
+binds a role (`HostPresence`, attempt `Host`, or attempt `Client`), mediation
+handle, and the already-issued capability. Both transports enter one processor
+and the same atomic store operations. No transport-supplied public address is
+trusted; the socket source is authoritative.
+
+LiteNetLib's native NAT packet family also contains introduction-response and
+punch frames that are appropriate for peers but unsafe on a public mediator: a
+forged response can name arbitrary destinations. The packet layer therefore
+decodes only the pinned `NatIntroduceRequest` wire shape and consumes every
+inbound packet before `NatPunchModule` sees it. The module is outbound-only and
+may send introductions solely from a completed authorized plan.
+
+Listing presence refreshes authorize no response. Attempt contributions bind the
+first observed endpoint for exactly one capability role. Exact duplicates are
+idempotent; a different endpoint, the opposite role, an expired/cancelled
+attempt, or a stale listing presence cannot replace it. The introduction is
+consumed atomically only after both roles bind and their observed address
+families match, preventing concurrent attempts for one listing from cross-wiring.
+
+A reported local candidate is eligible only when it is RFC 1918 IPv4 or IPv6
+unique-local unicast, matches the observed family, and both peers have the same
+observed public address. Otherwise `NatIntroduce` receives the observed public
+endpoint in the local slot. Loopback, link-local, multicast, unspecified,
+documentation IPv6, global-address claims, and cross-family claims are never
+disclosed as local targets. IPv4 is required; observed global IPv6 can be used
+when both peers contribute IPv6, without claiming guaranteed IPv6 NAT traversal.
+
+The introduction carries only the distinct connection ticket and is emitted at
+most once to each verified observed endpoint. The fixed authenticated native
+request and bounded frozen envelope keep the combined response bytes within the
+2.0 verified amplification budget; unauthenticated inputs receive zero bytes.
+Malformed, truncated, oversized, spoofed, or unrelated LiteNetLib packets do not
+grow Rendezvous state. Raw endpoints and credentials are never logged or exposed
+through diagnostic string representations.
+
+Frozen IPv6 listing-presence refresh remains valid because it emits no response.
+IPv6 attempt roles require the fixed-size native LiteNetLib request; accepting the
+short frozen envelope would exceed the 2.0 byte budget for two IPv6 introduction
+frames. The required IPv4 listen address and optional IPv6 listen address are
+configured separately so enabling one family never widens the other family to a
+wildcard bind.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Hosts refresh listing presence and answer invitations from their actual
+  gameplay socket; a separate mediator socket would observe the wrong mapping.
+- Caller-owned SDK coordination in #12 must poll the host invitation endpoint,
+  send the corresponding native role token, and consume the returned ticket.
+- UDP loss can prevent traversal, but it cannot cause an arbitrary destination,
+  replay, role substitution, or cross-attempt introduction.

+# ADR 0010: typed connection outcomes, deadlines, and caller-owned fallback
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-07-16
+- Tracking: #13
+
+## Context
+
+A connection can stop in the directory, authorization, mediation, NAT traversal,
+or direct-connection phase. Those failures have different authorities: an HTTP
+response can authoritatively reject a join, the SDK can observe a local timeout,
+and only the remote host can reject a direct connection. Treating all of them as
+one message or generic timeout would make player guidance, retry policy, tests,
+and operational measurements unreliable.
+
+UDP loss, service silence, cancellation, and late LiteNetLib callbacks also make
+completion races unavoidable. Games need one terminal result and bounded work,
+not a sequence of contradictory callbacks. Direct traversal cannot be guaranteed,
+but v1 has no gameplay relay and must not imply otherwise.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Closed typed outcome model
+
+`ConnectionOutcomeKind` is the stable wire-level terminal set: connected,
+cancelled, directory not found, attempt expired, incompatible protocol,
+unauthorized, rate limited, no host presence, service unavailable or rejected,
+mediator unavailable, punch timeout, direct-connect timeout, host rejection,
+transport error, manager stopped, and disposed.
+
+The already-frozen v1 members `TimedOut`, `StaleHost`, `TransportFailed`, and
+`FallbackOffered` retain their original numeric values for source and wire
+compatibility. New SDK code never emits them. The report service accepts them,
+normalizes the first three to their precise modern equivalents, and does not let
+legacy compatibility weaken the typed coordinator result.
+
+The client adds `RendezvousConnectionOutcomeSource`, failure category, and phase.
+These fields preserve authority instead of guessing from text:
+
+- `RendezvousService` is used only for an HTTP decision or bounded service
+  silence. Its optional `ServiceError` retains the stable service error code.
+- `LocalTraversal` reports local punch, direct-connect, and transport
+  observations.
+- `RemoteHost` reports an explicit direct-connection rejection.
+- `Caller` and `Lifecycle` distinguish cancellation from manager shutdown or
+  disposal.
+
+Messages remain diagnostic and are never parsed into outcomes. A successful NAT
+introduction is only a transition to direct connection; `Connected` is emitted
+only after LiteNetLib reports the authenticated peer connected.
+
+Join issuance is exposed as `RendezvousConnectionStartResult`, containing exactly
+one issued attempt or one terminal service outcome. Once an attempt is issued,
+the coordinator owns its local terminal outcome. Completion is exactly once;
+terminal paths release SDK subscriptions so late introductions, peer callbacks,
+network errors, cancellation, and polling are inert.
+
+### Bounded phases and retries
+
+Each HTTP try has a five-second default silence budget, configurable from above
+zero through thirty seconds. Only safe operations use the existing bounded retry
+policy, honoring caller cancellation and server retry guidance. Exhausting that
+budget returns `ServiceUnavailable`; it never waits indefinitely.
+
+Traversal has independent defaults: ten seconds for punch/mediation and five
+seconds for the direct connection. Both are configurable up to thirty seconds.
+Local budgets, retry schedules, and elapsed duration use monotonic time, so a
+wall-clock correction cannot extend them or produce a negative duration. The
+signed attempt expiry is converted to an additional monotonic upper bound when
+the attempt is received. Punch retries retain
+their bounded request count and exponential backoff; crossing a phase deadline
+completes exactly once even if a delayed packet later arrives. Tests use an
+injected clock and do not depend on wall-clock sleeps.
+
+### Explicit dedicated fallback handoff
+
+A publisher may attach one validated dedicated endpoint to registration or
+update only when the tenant's provisioned fallback policy allows it. The server
+copies that endpoint into browser and issued-attempt contracts.
+The client coordinator defensively copies it into every terminal outcome; a game
+may override it locally through `DedicatedFallbackOverride`.
+
+The SDK never opens, dials, reserves, probes, or authenticates the fallback. The
+game decides whether the outcome permits fallback, presents any player choice,
+and connects through its own gameplay transport and admission rules. Absence of
+an endpoint is an honest no-fallback result. Gameplay relay is absent from v1.
+
+### Privacy-safe optional reporting
+
+After an issued attempt completes, the game may explicitly report its outcome
+with the short-lived client punch capability. Reporting is authenticated and
+idempotent: an exact repeat succeeds as a duplicate, while a conflicting repeat
+is rejected. Reports contain only an allowlisted outcome enum and one coarse
+elapsed bucket (`<1s`, `1–5s`, `5–15s`, `15–30s`, or `30s+`). They contain no
+diagnostic message, exact duration, endpoint, metadata, player identifier, or
+credential.
+
+Frozen v1 DTOs still expose `elapsedMilliseconds` and `diagnosticCode`. They are
+deprecated compatibility inputs: the current SDK omits them, the service
+immediately buckets legacy elapsed time, and neither exact timing nor diagnostic
+text is retained, logged, or used as a metric dimension.
+
+The store retains a bounded capability-fingerprint tombstone long enough to
+accept a report after the live attempt expires. Metrics count the first accepted
+outcome only and use only outcome plus elapsed bucket as dimensions. Service
+issuance failures cannot be reported because no attempt capability was issued.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Player-facing UI can map stable outcome/category pairs to localized guidance
+  without exposing diagnostic strings.
+- Service rejection, remote-host rejection, and local observation remain
+  distinguishable for retry and support decisions.
+- Games own fallback policy and gameplay admission; Rendezvous does not claim a
+  guaranteed connection path.
+- Outcome additions are contract changes and require OpenAPI, serialization,
+  public API, fake-clock, late-event, and idempotency coverage.

+The generated [OpenAPI document](../api/rendezvous-v1.json) is the normative
+shape reference for parameters, bodies, and responses.
+
+Host polling sends its reusable lease credential in
+`X-Rendezvous-Lease-Token`; it must never be placed in a URL. Lease credentials
+for mutation operations are carried in their request bodies. Public browser
+responses contain no IP endpoints, lease tokens, punch capabilities, connection
+tickets, player identifiers, or gameplay state.
+
+Attempt cancellation sends the short-lived client punch capability in
+`X-Rendezvous-Client-Punch-Capability`. Join creation uses the observed HTTP
+source only for a process-keyed, short-lived idempotency/abuse scope; this is not
+player authentication and is never returned to callers.
+
+Outcome reporting uses that same short-lived capability. It accepts only outcomes
+for an issued attempt and carries one stable outcome enum plus one coarse elapsed
+bucket. Exact duplicate reports are idempotent; conflicting repeats fail. Reports
+never carry exact timing, diagnostics, endpoints, metadata, player identifiers,
+or credentials.
+
+The frozen v1 .NET request also retains deprecated `elapsedMilliseconds` and
+`diagnosticCode` properties for source/wire compatibility. Current clients omit
+them. If a legacy client supplies them, the server immediately converts elapsed
+milliseconds to the coarse bucket and discards diagnostic text; neither value is
+retained or used as a metric dimension.
+
+Registration and update may include one validated `dedicatedFallback`. The
+endpoint must be enabled by the tenant's provisioned fallback policy, is visible
+browser data, and is copied into subsequently issued attempts.
+It is a handoff for caller-owned policy: neither the HTTP service nor the SDK
+automatically connects to it. V1 provides no gameplay relay.
+
+## Idempotency, cursors, and retries
+
+Registration and join creation require a caller-generated visible-ASCII
+`idempotencyKey`. A repeat in the same authorization scope returns the original
+result while the key is retained; reusing a key with a different payload fails
+with `conflict`. Keys are opaque and must not contain credentials.
+
+Cursors are opaque, endpoint-specific, short-lived values. A client may echo a
+cursor only to the endpoint and filters that produced it. Invalid or expired
+cursors fail with `invalidRequest`; clients restart browsing from the first page.
+Renew, update, delete, and outcome reporting are safe to retry with the same
+lease/attempt identity after a transport-level failure.

+# UDP presence and NAT-punch contract v1
+
+Tracking: #4, #11
+
+The UDP mediator accepts the frozen bounded presence envelope below and native
+LiteNetLib NAT-introduction requests. Both forms associate an authenticated
+mediation handle with the packet's observed public source endpoint and the
+sender's reported local endpoint. Neither form carries gameplay packets.
+
+All multi-byte integers use network byte order. UUID bytes use the canonical
+RFC 4122 textual order (the byte pairs from the 32 hexadecimal digits), not the
+mixed-endian layout returned by `Guid.ToByteArray()`.
+
+## Datagram layout
+
+| Offset | Size | Field |
+| ---: | ---: | --- |
+| 0 | 2 | Magic bytes `52 56` (`RV`). |
+| 2 | 1 | Contract version, exactly `01`. |
+| 3 | 1 | Message type: host presence `01`, client presence `02`. |
+| 4 | 1 | Flags, exactly `00` in v1. |
+| 5 | 16 | Non-empty mediation-handle UUID. |
+| 21 | 1 | Address family: IPv4 `04`, IPv6 `06`. |
+| 22 | 1 | Address length: `04` for IPv4, `10` for IPv6. |
+| 23 | 4 or 16 | Raw local IP address bytes. |
+| next | 2 | Local UDP port, 1–65535. |
+| next | 1 | Capability length, 1–192. |
+| next | variable | ASCII base64url capability, without padding. |
+
+No trailing bytes are permitted. The whole datagram is limited to 1,200 bytes,
+well below common Internet path MTUs. The v1 capability limit is 192 characters,
+which also keeps any value passed through LiteNetLib's 256-character NAT token
+surface safely below that library boundary.
+
+## Validation and failure behavior
+
+Decoders return one stable failure category: oversized, truncated, invalid
+magic, unsupported version, unknown message type, non-zero flags, invalid
+handle, invalid address family, invalid address, invalid port, invalid
+capability, or trailing data. Unknown versions and message types are rejected;
+they are never interpreted as v1.
+
+The address-family byte, encoded address length, and parsed address must agree.
+The service derives the public endpoint from the UDP packet source and never
+trusts a client-supplied public address. Reported local endpoints are candidates
+only and grant no authority.
+
+Capabilities are short-lived, single-purpose, scoped to one mediation handle,
+and compared without exposing them in logs. A valid-looking packet does not
+prove authorization until the capability is checked. Invalid packets receive
+no UDP response, preventing the mediator from becoming an amplification oracle.
+For the frozen envelope, `HostPresence` is resolved against either the listing's
+host-presence capability or an attempt's host-role capability. `ClientPresence`
+is resolved only against the attempt's client-role capability. Handles are
+globally distinct in the active store, so this does not permit role confusion.
+
+## Native LiteNetLib request token
+
+A game using LiteNetLib sends `NatPunchModule.SendNatIntroduceRequest` from its
+gameplay `NetManager`. The `additionalInfo` value is produced by
+`NatPunchRequestTokenCodec` and is exactly 192 ASCII characters:
+
+```text
+rv1:<role>:<32 lowercase handle hex>:<43-character capability><dot padding>
+```
+
+`role` is `p` for listing host-presence refresh, `h` for the host side of a join
+attempt, or `c` for its client side. Padding is canonical and leaves the token
+below LiteNetLib's 256-character ceiling. Its fixed size also ensures that the
+two authenticated introduction responses remain within the 2.0 response-byte
+budget. Tokens with a wrong length, role, handle, capability, or padding receive
+no response.
+
+The mediator runs LiteNetLib in bounded manual-poll mode. Its packet layer admits
+only the pinned native `NatIntroduceRequest` frame, consumes every inbound frame
+before LiteNetLib can act on it, and uses `NatPunchModule` only to emit authorized
+introductions. Native and frozen v1 inputs reach the same atomic role/capability
+checks. Only the packet source is
+used as the public endpoint. A claimed private candidate is retained only when
+it is private unicast, matches the observed address family, and both authorized
+peers were observed behind the same public address; otherwise the observed
+public endpoint is substituted. IPv4 punching is required. IPv6 sources must be
+observed global unicast and both roles must use IPv6; IPv6 NAT traversal remains
+best-effort rather than a v1 release requirement.
+
+The second valid contribution atomically consumes the introduction and starts
+the connection-ticket lifetime. `NatIntroduce` is called once with the distinct
+43-character connection ticket. Reordered and exact duplicate requests are
+idempotent. Endpoint substitution, cross-role use, stale host presence, expired
+or cancelled attempts, malformed packets, and gameplay payloads produce no
+introduction and create no mediator queue or endpoint state.
+
+Frozen envelopes may refresh listing presence over IPv6 because that operation
+has no response. IPv6 attempt contributions must use the fixed-size native token;
+the shorter frozen IPv6 envelope cannot fund two IPv6 introduction frames within
+the 2.0 response-byte ceiling and is therefore dropped without response.

+# Diagnostic TestClient integration guide
+
+Tracking: #25
+
+`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.
+
+The automated scenario matrix, privileged Linux namespace run, and topology
+limitations are documented in the [deterministic topology harness](topology-harness.md).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+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:
+
+```bash
+export RENDEZVOUS_PUBLISHER_CREDENTIAL='<deployment-supplied value>'
+```
+
+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:
+
+```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
+```
+
+Browse from another terminal:
+
+```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
+```
+
+Join from a third terminal. Omit `--listing` for an interactive choice:
+
+```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
+```
+
+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.
+
+## CI and deployment smoke flow
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Useful success events are:
+
+- `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`.
+
+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.
+
+## What the proof does and does not establish
+
+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.

+# Deterministic topology harness
+
+Issue #14 is verified at three layers. The layers are deliberately separate so
+the always-on gate remains deterministic while privileged CI workers can add a
+stronger operating-system topology without overstating what local emulation
+proves about the public Internet.
+
+## Always-on public-process gate
+
+`TestClientProcessIntegrationTests` launches the built server and the same
+`FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient` executable shipped to operators. Every
+child process uses `--script --json`, dynamic HTTP and UDP ports, bounded
+state-driven waits, and enforced process-tree cleanup.
+
+The suite proves:
+
+| Scenario | Required observation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Three-party happy path | register, presence-ready, browse, authorize, punch, authenticated LiteNetLib connection, direct ping/echo/ack/completion traffic, outcome report, disconnect, deregister |
+| Same-LAN candidate | the connected peer is reported as `loopback` or `private`, never inferred merely from an introduction callback |
+| Empty and missing selection | browse exits `11`; exact missing lookup exits `10` |
+| Wrong tenant/protocol | no listing is returned for an incompatible protocol; exact joins with either mismatch fail before `join.punch` |
+| Traversal timeout | an unreachable mediator produces typed `PunchTimedOut`, exits `12`, advertises the configured dedicated fallback, and never connects to it |
+| Caller cancellation | POSIX `SIGINT` exits `130`, deregisters the listing, and removes it from public lookup |
+| Abrupt host loss | the listing disappears after the presence window and before its lease expires; public exact lookup intentionally reports `NotFound` |
+| Bounded host without a peer | exits `13` and still deregisters |
+
+Captured output is parsed as the stable JSON v1 event schema. Publisher
+credentials and signing-key material are checked against all captured output.
+The direct traffic payload is handled only by the caller-owned host and client
+LiteNetLib managers; the HTTP service and mediator do not implement or observe
+the echo protocol.
+
+Run the always-on scenarios with:
+
+```bash
+dotnet test Rendezvous.slnx --configuration Release --no-build \
+  --filter FullyQualifiedName~TestClientProcessIntegrationTests
+```
+
+## Deterministic protocol and adverse-state gate
+
+The following real service-boundary tests cover conditions that a public CLI
+cannot safely manufacture by accepting raw capabilities or tickets:
+
+| Scenario | Test evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| Same-NAT private candidates | `NatMediationProcessorTests.MatchedPeersReceiveOneIntroductionAndSameNatPrivateCandidates` |
+| Separate observed endpoints | `NatMediationProcessorTests.DifferentNatsAndInvalidLocalClaimsExposeOnlyObservedPublicEndpoints` |
+| One-time introduction and replay | `InMemoryEphemeralRendezvousStoreTests.AttemptCapabilitiesAndIntroductionAreOneTime` |
+| Direct ticket replay | `RendezvousCoordinatorIntegrationTests.CallerOwnedManagersCompleteAuthenticatedDirectConnectionAndRejectTicketReplay` |
+| Wrong tenant/protocol and stale presence | `InMemoryEphemeralRendezvousStoreTests.JoinRequiresExactScopeProtocolAndFreshHostPresence` |
+| Cancellation and late callbacks | `RendezvousCoordinatorBehaviorTests.CancellationCompletesExactlyOnceAndLateCallbacksCannotReopenTheAttempt` |
+| Mediator restart | both cases of `UdpMediatorServiceTests.NativeLiteNetLibRequestsIntroduceTheAuthorizedPair`; the restarted case rebinds the same UDP port and completes a native LiteNetLib introduction |
+
+These tests use fake monotonic clocks or state predicates where expiry and race
+ordering matter. They do not use fixed sleeps as proof of state.
+
+## Privileged Linux namespace gate
+
+When a Linux CI worker can create network namespaces, the workflow sets
+`RENDEZVOUS_RUN_NETNS_TESTS=1` and reruns
+`PrivilegedLinuxNatNamespacesCompleteDirectTrafficAcrossSeparateObservedEndpoints`.
+The test creates a temporary WAN bridge, an isolated service namespace, two NAT
+router namespaces, and isolated host/client LAN namespaces. Each NAT has its own
+inside subnet and WAN address. Linux forwarding plus per-router MASQUERADE rules
+force the service to observe separate translated endpoints; the public TestClient
+processes must then complete authenticated direct traffic through those mappings
+using the public candidate. Namespaces, rules, veth pairs, bridge, processes, and
+sockets are removed in bounded async-disposal paths. A cleanup failure fails the
+test.
+
+If `ip netns add`/`iptables` is unavailable or the worker lacks `CAP_NET_ADMIN`,
+CI records the limitation and keeps the always-on loopback suite as the required gate.
+To request the privileged run explicitly:
+
+```bash
+RENDEZVOUS_RUN_NETNS_TESTS=1 dotnet test Rendezvous.slnx \
+  --configuration Release --no-build \
+  --filter FullyQualifiedName~PrivilegedLinuxNatNamespacesCompleteDirectTrafficAcrossSeparateObservedEndpoints
+```
+
+## What this does not prove
+
+Loopback, MASQUERADE, and namespace routing cannot reproduce every consumer router,
+carrier-grade NAT, firewall, IPv6 transition mechanism, symmetric NAT mapping,
+or real-world packet-loss pattern. The separate-observed-endpoint processor
+test proves that untrusted private claims are excluded and public candidates are
+selected; it is not presented as universal Internet traversal proof. Real
+network canaries and measured production readiness remain the scope of issue
+#23.

+# Game provisioning and signing-key lifecycle
+
+Tracking: #5
+
+Rendezvous treats game and environment scope as provisioned policy, not caller
+input. Production starts only when it can build an enabled policy registry and
+load at least one currently active signing key from an external secret provider.
+Unknown and disabled scopes fail closed.
+
+## Policy boundary
+
+Each `GamePolicy` fixes the allowed:
+
+- game/environment pair and regions;
+- exact gameplay protocol versions;
+- publisher trust and listing visibility modes;
+- metadata keys, required keys, per-value limits, total bytes, and key count;
+- listing, anonymous-host, and active-attempt quotas; and
+- dedicated fallback feature policy.
+
+Publisher authorization first authenticates a typed principal, then derives the
+authoritative game/environment from that principal. Request fields are compared
+for mismatch detection but never replace the authenticated scope. Dedicated
+workloads, short-lived player-host grants, anonymous unlisted publishers, and
+operators are distinct principal types. Operator credentials cannot be used as
+publisher credentials, and anonymous publishers cannot escalate to public
+visibility.
+
+## Signed credentials
+
+Signed principal credentials use the compact form
+`rv1.<key-id>.<base64url-payload>.<base64url-HMAC-SHA256>`. The signed payload
+contains version, issuer, audience, subject, principal kind, bounded scope,
+issued/not-before/expiry times, and a random nonce. It contains no signing key,
+reusable publisher secret, player identity, or gameplay state.
+
+Validation is deliberately ordered and bounded:
+
+1. enforce the v1 opaque-credential length and four-segment grammar;
+2. resolve a known, non-revoked key in its verification window;
+3. compare the HMAC in fixed time;
+4. parse canonical bounded JSON;
+5. require exact version, issuer, and audience;
+6. enforce clock skew, expiry, key lifetime, principal kind, and scope shape.
+
+Failures return typed internal reasons without echoing the credential. Logs and
+metrics must record only allowlisted tenant/principal/result dimensions; token,
+key, secret-reference value, and raw key material are excluded.
+
+## Rotation and revocation
+
+A key is bound either to operator credentials only or to allowed publisher
+credential kinds for exactly one game/environment. The verifier checks this
+authority after the signature, so even a compromised game grant issuer cannot
+mint a valid cross-game or operator credential.
+
+A key also has three times: `NotBefore`, `SignUntil`, and `VerifyUntil`. Issuance
+picks the newest authorized non-revoked key inside its signing window. Older credentials continue
+to verify until the old key's verification window ends, providing an explicit
+overlap. After `VerifyUntil` they fail as retired. Configuration revocation and
+runtime revocation both reject immediately. A configured revoked key retains
+only its public key ID/lifecycle metadata and does not require retired secret
+material to remain available.
+
+Key IDs are non-secret base64url identifiers. Secret references are resolved
+through `ISecretProvider`; production supports `env:<VARIABLE>` references and
+the interface is replaceable by a deployment-specific vault/KMS adapter. The
+committed development profile uses an in-memory random key identified by a
+`development:ephemeral/...` reference. It never writes key material to disk and
+all credentials become invalid when the process exits.
+
+## Production configuration
+
+`Rendezvous:Provisioning` supplies issuer, audience, clock skew, signing-key
+descriptors, and game policies. A production key reference such as
+`env:RENDEZVOUS_SIGNING_KEY_2026_01` expects that environment variable to hold at
+least 32 random bytes encoded as base64. Missing, malformed, short, inactive, or
+duplicate keys stop startup with a key-ID-only diagnostic. No game-wide secret
+belongs in `appsettings`, source control, examples, the Client package, URLs,
+responses, logs, metrics, exceptions, or diagnostic dumps.
+
+Readiness becomes true only after provisioning and UDP startup both succeed.
+OpenAPI generation uses a pinned build-only host and does not start listeners or
+bypass provisioning in a deployed server process.

+
+Load `publisherCredential` from the game's deployment secret boundary; never
+embed it in a client build or source control. A successful registration returns a
+`PublishedSession` containing the lease and host-presence capabilities.
+Send a periodic presence request from the host's gameplay `NetManager` using the
+server-controlled refresh interval and the fixed-size native token:
+
+```csharp
+string presenceToken = NatPunchRequestTokenCodec.Encode(
+    NatPunchPeerRole.HostPresence,
+    session.HostPresenceHandle,
+    session.HostPresenceCapability);
+gameplayNetManager.NatPunchModule.SendNatIntroduceRequest(mediator, presenceToken);
+```
+
+For direct connections, let the SDK drive those tokens from the same caller-owned
+LiteNetLib socket that carries gameplay. Ask the routing listener to create the
+bound manager, then configure and start that caller-owned manager yourself. The
+factory does not open a socket, and synchronized events must remain enabled:
+
+```csharp
+RendezvousNetListener networkEvents = new();
+NetManager gameplayNetManager = networkEvents.CreateManager();
+if (!gameplayNetManager.Start(0))
+{
+    throw new InvalidOperationException("The gameplay UDP socket could not start.");
+}
+```
+
+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
+frame on the thread that owns the manager:
+
+```csharp
+RendezvousJoinClient joins = new(http);
+using RendezvousHostCoordinator host = new(
+    gameplayNetManager,
+    networkEvents,
+    mediatorEndPoint,
+    session,
+    joins);
+
+// Run periodically from the game's normal async scheduling path.
+await host.RefreshJoinAttemptsAsync(cancellationToken);
+
+// Godot _Process, Update, or the equivalent main-thread frame callback.
+host.Poll();
+```
+
+Do not also call `gameplayNetManager.PollEvents()` or
+`gameplayNetManager.NatPunchModule.PollEvents()` when a coordinator owns polling.
+The host coordinator refreshes host presence, punches for queued invitations,
+validates the introduction ticket, and accepts the direct request. Subscribe to
+`AttemptCompleted`; a `Connected` result is raised only after LiteNetLib reports
+the accepted peer as connected. Register ordinary gameplay callbacks on
+`networkEvents.GameplayEvents`; the routing listener reserves Rendezvous direct
+requests for ticket validation and forwards every other callback normally.
+
+The joining game first requests an attempt through the typed start API. It returns
+exactly one issued attempt or one terminal service outcome, so service authority
+is not confused with a later locally observed traversal failure:
+
+```csharp
+RendezvousConnectionStartResult start = await joins.CreateConnectionAttemptAsync(
+    createJoinRequest,
+    cancellationToken: cancellationToken);
+if (start.Outcome is { } serviceOutcome)
+{
+    ShowConnectionFailure(serviceOutcome.Kind, serviceOutcome.Category);
+    return;
+}
+
+CreateJoinAttemptResponse attempt = start.Attempt
+    ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("The typed start result was invalid.");
+using RendezvousClientCoordinator client = new(
+    gameplayNetManager,
+    networkEvents,
+    mediatorEndPoint,
+    attempt);
+
+// Godot _Process, Update, or the equivalent main-thread frame callback.
+client.Poll();
+```
+
+NAT introduction changes the client state to `Connecting`; it is not success.
+Only a `Connected` outcome supplies `Peer`. Completion exposes a stable kind,
+source, category, phase, and elapsed duration. The default HTTP silence, punch,
+and direct-connect budgets are five, ten, and five seconds respectively; configure
+them through `RendezvousClientOptions` and `RendezvousCoordinatorOptions` when a
+game has measured reasons to do so. The signed attempt expiry is always the
+absolute upper bound.
+
+Call `Cancel()` and then `Poll()` for local cancellation, or
+`CancelAsync(joins, cancellationToken)` to also revoke the service attempt.
+Terminal client paths complete exactly once and release all event subscriptions,
+so late packets and callbacks are inert. Disposing a coordinator never stops or
+disposes the caller-owned manager and does not touch an in-flight peer; call
+`Cancel()` followed by `Poll()` first when that peer must also be disconnected.
+
+After terminal completion, reporting is explicit and safe to retry. It sends only
+the authenticated outcome enum and a coarse elapsed bucket—never the endpoint,
+exact duration, diagnostic text, metadata, or player identity:
+
+```csharp
+RendezvousClientResult<ReportConnectionOutcomeResponse> report =
+    await client.ReportOutcomeAsync(joins, cancellationToken);
+```
+
+An optional `DedicatedFallback` is copied from the authoritative listing into the
+issued attempt and terminal outcome. A local deployment may replace it with
+`RendezvousCoordinatorOptions.DedicatedFallbackOverride`. The SDK only returns
+the endpoint; it never connects automatically. The game must explicitly decide
+whether to use it and then connect and authenticate through its own gameplay
+transport. If the outcome has no fallback, v1 offers no relay.
+
+Lease renewal is explicit and caller-controlled:
+
+```csharp
+PublishedSession session = registered.Value;
+await using SessionLeaseMaintainer maintainer = publisher.CreateLeaseMaintainer(
+    session,
+    publisherCredential);
+LeaseMaintenanceResult stopped = await maintainer.RunAsync(cancellationToken);
+```
+
+Creating the maintainer does not start background work. Await its run and dispose
+it when hosting stops. Use `IRendezvousPublisherClient` and
+`IRendezvousSessionBrowserClient` as injection seams in game tests. The SDK disposes
+the requests and responses it creates but never disposes the supplied `HttpClient`.
+
+The host-side `ConnectionTicketValidator` is a bounded, thread-safe one-time gate.
+Authorize only tickets delivered by the authenticated Rendezvous introduction,
+then consume the exact ticket presented by the direct LiteNetLib connection:
+
+```csharp
+using ConnectionTicketValidator tickets = new();
+tickets.TryAuthorize(attemptId, expectedTicket, expiresAt);
+ConnectionTicketConsumptionResult admission = tickets.Consume(
+    attemptId,
+    presentedTicket);
+```
+
+An `Accepted` ticket authorizes only this connection attempt. The game must still
+apply its own player identity, capacity, ban, and gameplay admission rules. Revoke
+the attempt on cancellation and dispose the validator during host shutdown so its
+keyed ticket digests are zeroed.
+
+See the repository's ADR 0007 for HTTP ownership/retry semantics, ADR 0008 for
+join-capability and connection-ticket security semantics, and ADR 0010 for typed
+outcomes, deadlines, reporting, and caller-owned fallback.

+The executable has three explicit modes:
+
+- `host` publishes a session, maintains presence and its lease, accepts an
+authenticated direct peer, and answers a bounded ping/echo/ack/completion exchange;
+- `browse` prints compatible public listings; and
+- `join` selects or accepts a listing, drives traversal on its caller-owned
+  LiteNetLib socket, proves direct traffic, reports the typed outcome, and exits.
+
+Run `dotnet run --project src/FinalFactory.Rendezvous.TestClient -- --help` for
+the complete option reference. A typical script-mode invocation is:
+
+```bash
+export RENDEZVOUS_PUBLISHER_CREDENTIAL='<credential from the deployment boundary>'
+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 \
+  --script --json --exit-after-echo
+```
+
+Publisher credentials are accepted only through a named environment variable.
+There is deliberately no command-line credential option because process command
+lines are routinely exposed to other local tools and diagnostics. Output uses an
+allowlisted event model and never includes lease tokens, punch capabilities,
+connection tickets, raw metadata, signing material, or reusable credentials.
+
+Script mode never prompts. Join mode selects the first compatible listing unless
+`--listing UUID` fixes the choice. `--json` emits one JSON object per line with
+`version: 1`; event names and the process exit codes below are stable automation
+contracts. A script-mode host without `--run-seconds` uses `--timeout-seconds` as
+its total runtime bound. New optional event properties may be added without changing
+the version. JSON help and usage failures are versioned events as well; informational
+events use stdout and failures use stderr.
+
+| 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` | A requested direct ping/echo proof did not complete |
+| `130` | Caller cancellation or Ctrl+C |
+
+The client prints the selected direct endpoint category (`loopback`, `private`, or
+`public`) but never the raw endpoint. A traversal failure reports whether an
+authoritative dedicated fallback is available; the diagnostic does not connect to
+that fallback automatically. A host may publish a policy-authorized endpoint with
+`--fallback IP:PORT`. See the repository integration guide for process
+orchestration and topology limitations.
