A revoked writer overwrites its successor's state · case 02

An old lease holder writes after a higher fencing epoch has already committed.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 6 checks per implementation

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.
