## Title

    Revalidate notification candidate truth before send and after the decision claim

## Body

    FACT: The examined control flow re-read candidate truth and authority before transport and again around the decision claim, with explicit caps and quiet-hour checks. INFERENCE: Eligibility is a time-bound claim, not a durable fact. RECOMMENDATION: Revalidate source occurrence, user preference, lifecycle, cap, quiet period, and kill state immediately before sending; record the decision key and outcome.
