FA-052 / Distributed coordination / Member archive
A revoked writer overwrites its successor's state · case 02
An old lease holder writes after a higher fencing epoch has already committed.
Case contract
Process [epoch,value] writes in arrival order. Accept epochs >= the stored epoch and return [largest accepted epoch,last accepted value]. Tokens are nonnegative and uniquely allocated per lease.
Why this case matters
Models storage-side fencing after delayed writes outlive a coordinator lease; lease expiry alone cannot stop a paused former holder from sending a request.
