…resurrect a cut grant The mailbox is the API's integrity-untrusted transport with until-acked retention, and the server chooses what to redeliver. An InviteClaim carried no identity of its own, so a claim was a static, indefinitely valid blob: the server could re-serve one after the owner cut the grant it made, conversion would find the tag absent from the committed set, report Granted, and the owner would re-sign a set undoing its own revocation. The caller contract convert_invite_claim documented was a contract, not an enforcement. Put a claim id inside the signed claim payload — InviteClaim is engine framing inside the HPKE seal's inner sender signature, so this needs no crates/core wire format and no KAT — and give the owner's invite store a second half holding the conversions it already spent. Conversion refuses a claim whose id is spent, refuses an all-zero id no honest draw produces, and refuses a fresh claim that would re-mint a grant this link produced and the owner has since cut. A record binds the claim to the link it arrived on, which is what keeps the set bounded and collectable: at most one record per grantee per link, so a bearer-link holder cannot fill it by posting claims, and a record naming a link the owner no longer holds is dead weight that can be dropped without re-admitting anything. Binding it also scopes the cut refusal to that link, so a link the owner mints afterwards is a fresh authorization decision. The store's grammar version moves to 2 and its unit of persistence becomes InviteRecords, so links and spent claims are read, written and replaced together — a torn pair would let a claim whose record was lost convert twice. A body at the previous grammar is refused rather than read as no spent claims; pre-GA nothing has written one. Both new invariants are refused release-active in each codec direction, and the bound refusal now names which collection tripped, since the two have different remedies. Gated by two engine simulations over the deterministic Scheduler fake: a claim redelivered after its converted grant was cut does not resurrect it, and a claim redelivered before any cut changes no committed or owner-local state.

- Around line 306-322: Move the durable record-set documentation block from
above encode_claim to directly above encode_records, preserving its rationale
and invariant details. Leave only “One conversion, as the stored body spells
it.” as the documentation for encode_claim.
- Around line 73-76: Update invite-state persistence to remove converted claims
whose link_tag is no longer live before enforcing MAX_CONVERTED_CLAIMS or
writing state. Add this pruning to the production conversion/persist flow,
preserving claims for currently live links so revoked-link records cannot
exhaust the bounded claim store.

What this does
An
InviteClaimcarried no identity of its own, so a claim was a static,indefinitely valid, sender-authenticated blob. The mailbox is the API's
integrity-untrusted transport with until-acked retention and the server
chooses what to redeliver, so the sequence was: a holder claims, the owner
converts and publishes, the owner later revokes that grantee's tag, the server
re-serves the retained item,
convert_invite_claimfinds the tag absent fromthe committed set, reports
Granted, and the owner re-signs a set that undoesits own revocation. What the code had was a caller contract in a doc comment,
not an enforcement.
Two halves, as the issue asks:
InviteClaimgains a 16-byteclaim_id, drawn from the injected entropy seam.InviteClaimis engineframing inside the HPKE seal whose inner sender signature covers the payload
bytes (
crates/core'sseal_mailbox_payloadsigns the payload as one opaquebyte string), so the id is signed without a
crates/corewire-format changeand without a KAT vector.
gains a second half:
ConvertedClaimRecord { claim_id, link_tag, tag },carried in the same sealed key as the recorded links.
Conversion then refuses three things:
ClaimAlreadyConverted— the claim's id is already spent. This is thesingle-use rule, and it answers both redelivery cases identically: the
committed set is left untouched, so a cut grant is never resurrected and a
redelivery before any cut changes nothing.
GrantWasCut— a fresh claim through the same link whose grantee tag thatlink already minted and the owner has since cut. Absence from the committed
set is the revocation signal, and the record is what tells a grant the owner
cut from a grant it never made.
ClaimIdIsZero— the one id a client with a broken entropy seam emits.Spending it would deny every later claimant on the link.
Why the record is bound to its link
link_tagis not decoration; it is what makes the set both bounded andcollectable, and it came out of the security and crypto review passes.
(link, grantee)pair is notalready recorded, so the set grows with the grants the owner actually
published, not with how many claims a bearer-link holder chooses to post.
Without it, a link holder could mint fresh claim ids until
persistreturnedFulland leave the owner unable to record, convert, or even revoke —identity-wide, with no safe way out, since dropping records un-spends claims.
so records naming a dead link are dead weight and dropping them re-admits
nothing. That is the remedy
Fullnow points at.link the owner mints afterwards is a fresh authorization decision rather than
a permanent lockout of that contact on that scope.
Both invariants — one record per claim id, one per
(linkTag, tag)— areenforced release-active in each codec direction (AGENTS.md rule 8), with
tests that fire in a release build.
Store shape
The unit of persistence becomes
InviteRecords { links, claims }and the bodygrammar moves to
v: 2. One unit because the two are read, written and replacedtogether: a torn pair would let a claim whose record was lost convert a second
time. A body at the previous grammar is refused as
UnsupportedVersion, neverread as an empty set — that would drop every recorded link and re-admit every
spent claim. Nothing has written a
v: 1set outside tests.InviteStoreError::Fullnow names which collection tripped, because the twohave different remedies: revoke a link for
links, revoke a link and drop therecords naming it for
claims.Gate
Two engine simulations over the deterministic
Schedulerfake, incrates/engine/tests/invite_claims.rs, both passing:a_claim_redelivered_after_its_grant_was_cut_does_not_resurrect_it— thetransport re-serves the byte-identical claim against the post-cut committed
set and conversion refuses it; a fresh claim through the same link is
refused too.
a_claim_redelivered_before_any_cut_is_an_idempotent_no_op— the sameredelivery against the published set is refused and changes nothing, and a
second claim from a grantee already committed reads
Unchangedwithoutgrowing the spent set.
The links carry deadlines that outlast the simulation, so
nowis genuinelyconsulted at every conversion rather than ignored for want of a deadline.
Scope
Closes #1128
Not in this PR
This PR carries no code for #1240 or #1165, and leaves both open.
#1165 needs zero code at current
main— its own re-scope notes say sotwice, and I re-verified it.
StagingInviteStoreand its conformance kit landedin #1234;
STRUCT_TAG_OWNER_LOCALandOwnerLocalKind::InviteRecordsarealready frozen; the
owner_localKAT vectors already cover the kind. Its wholeremainder is #1240's production caller.
#1240 is much larger than a dispatch arm.
Command::CreateInviteLinkcannotmint without publishing the new commitment entry into the scope root's grant
section, and there is no production path in the tree that edits a grant section
and republishes:
OwnerRotationNet::publish_scope_rootis reachable only fromrotate_scope/cascade_rotate_scope/sweep_pass, none of which production codecalls;
sync/drain.rscarries the section verbatim;sync/provision.rsmintsthe genesis section only. Landing it needs the gate ladder (
gated_scope_root,reread_at_floor),open_write_bodyandcheck_publishablemade reachable, an"append a grant row and re-sign" helper that does not exist (only the removal
half,
revoke_read_grant, does), a facade-side floor-mirror preflight, a newCommandvariant sorevoke_invite_linkcan be driven, and the firstCommandOutcomevariant to carry secret material across the facade boundary— a decision against security rules 1 and 3 that deserves its own PR rather than
being folded into a batched one. It is #1016's
CreateInviteLinkrow.This PR does not depend on either: the durable owner-side store #1128 was waiting
for is landed, so #1128 is implementable today.
Notes
crates/corechange, no new KAT vectors, no new host seam. The store ridesthe existing
StagingStoreseam at the grants layer, socrates/wasm/src/seams_bridge.rsis untouched and there is no overlap with thesibling PR editing it.
crates/engine/src/entropy.rsgainsfresh_bytes, andfresh_nonceis nowexpressed through it — the all-zero-draw refusal keeps one home rather than
gaining a second copy in the grants layer.
Verification
cargo fmt --all --check,cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets,cargo check -p cipherbox-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown,cargo test --workspace,cargo test -p cipherbox-engine --release,cargo test -p cipherbox-core --release,pnpm typecheck,pnpm lint,pnpm lint:tracker-refs— all clean./simplify,/security-reviewand/crypto-privacy-reviewwere run on thisdiff. The crypto pass found no critical or high issues and confirmed the core
boundary, the absent KAT obligation, entropy sizing, zeroization and the
v: 1 → v: 2fail-closed read. Every medium finding from the security andcrypto passes is folded in above: the store-wedge availability hole, the
per-link scoping of the cut refusal, the zero claim id, the
Fullmessage, themodule header's rollback paragraph, and a reject vector for the real previous
grammar.
Residual, unchanged from before this PR and stated in the module header: the
store carries no monotone generation, so a host that restores an earlier sealed
blob un-spends claims. Closing it needs that generation held where the host
cannot roll it back.
