Partial live-set rollback sent raw CLOSE messages and released local permits, but left the SDK's desired subscriptions registered. Authentication can replay those groups without ledger ownership even when the socket never reconnects. Use SDK unsubscribe for each rolled-back live group before returning its slot. This preserves the existing best-effort close semantics and leaves transient request handling and coverage selection unchanged. Validation: the real-relay regression fails with one retained SDK subscription before this fix and passes with none afterward. All 429 sync unit tests pass. Assisted-by: GPT-6
ngit-grasp Documentation
Welcome to the ngit-grasp documentation! We use the Diátaxis framework to organize our documentation into four types, each serving a different purpose.
