Assign idempotent per-conversation sequence numbers: retry returns original · case 05

A retried send is told it received the newest seq of the conversation instead of its own.

Case contract

requests are [conv, sender, nonce] in arrival order; members maps conv -> member list. A sender who is not a member gets "forbidden" and consumes nothing. Each conversation numbers accepted messages 1, 2, 3... A retry with the same (conv, sender, nonce) returns the originally assigned seq without consuming a new one.

Why this case matters

Server sequencing is the backbone of chat ordering; idempotency errors create duplicates or gaps.
