 // THREE PROPERTIES THIS FILE EXISTS TO GUARANTEE, each of which was a real hole
 // in the design before it had a home:
 //
-//   1. THE READ-MODIFY-WRITE IS ATOMIC, and it is worth being precise about WHY,
-//      because an earlier version of this comment credited the wrong mechanism
-//      and a reviewer relying on it would have drawn the wrong boundary.
-//
-//      The tool loop runs READ-class calls CONCURRENTLY (loop/tool-batch.js
-//      partitionToolBatch) and every DOM tool judges its landing, so two judges
-//      can be in flight for one actor. They cannot interleave because
-//      `makeJudgeLanding` has NO await between `getState()` and `saveState()`,
-//      and `write()` below does its compare-and-assign synchronously. Single-
-//      threaded JS does the rest. It is NOT the promise chain that protects
-//      this — the chain orders the DURABLE writes only.
-//
-//      *** DO NOT INTRODUCE AN AWAIT into that span. *** Making the classifier
-//      async, or awaiting an audit append inside the judge, would let two
-//      concurrent judges both read `excursionsUsed: 0` and both store 1 —
-//      doubling MAX_EXCURSIONS, whose entire job is to be un-refreshable.
+//   1. AUTHORITY TRANSITIONS COMMIT DURABLY BEFORE THEY REACH THE CACHE. Writes
+//      for one actor share a promise lane, so concurrent tool calls cannot both
+//      spend the same allowance. The operation re-reads current cache state in
+//      that lane, writes the full next snapshot, then publishes its patch.
+//      Failed persistence therefore cannot leave usable in-memory authority.
 //
 //      The chain is keyed PER SESSION, not per store. A global chain would make
-//      every actor's `judgeLanding` await every other actor's IDB write — and
-//      the injected save is `sessions.update`, which re-reads the whole session
-//      — so one slow save in one chat would stall the DOM tools of every web
-//      actor in every other chat.
+//      every actor's `judgeLanding` await every other actor's IDB write, so one
+//      slow save in one chat would stall unrelated actors.
 //
-//   2. THE CACHE IS UPDATED BEFORE THE AWAIT. The shell's next sync `getState`
-//      may happen before the storage write resolves. Applying the patch to the
-//      cached object first means the in-heap truth is never behind the decision
-//      that produced it; the durable write is catch-up, not the source.
+//   2. CALLERS SEE PERSISTENCE FAILURE. The internal lane catches a rejection
+//      only so later writes can continue. The individual write still rejects,
+//      which makes the policy shell fail closed instead of reporting authority
+//      that was never committed.
 //
 //   3. NO-OP WRITES ARE ELIDED. The overwhelmingly common verdict is "continue,
 //      nothing changed", whose patch is `{ excursion: null }` over a state that
