+# 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.
+
+```mermaid
+stateDiagram-v2
+    [*] --> AwaitingPresence: authorized register
+    AwaitingPresence --> Listed: valid host UDP presence
+    Listed --> AwaitingPresence: presence deadline passes
+    AwaitingPresence --> AwaitingPresence: lease renew or data update
+    Listed --> Listed: lease renew, data update, or presence refresh
+    AwaitingPresence --> Removed: lease expiry or delete
+    Listed --> Removed: lease expiry or delete
+    Removed --> [*]
+```
+
+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 `HostPresence` datagram 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 datagram. Invalid, unknown, or client-presence packets
+receive no response. 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.
