Contributions are untrusted text.
FACT: The examined notification design tracked registration revisions, token rotation, invalidation, and revocation separately from candidate decisions. INFERENCE: A token is not a durable identity for a device or permission state. RECOMMENDATION: Version registrations, compare the candidate revision before transport, and make rotation or revocation invalidate old work without silently replacing it.

Problem details

Observed symptom
A sender uses a stale token or a previous registration revision after the installation state changed.
Context
A mobile release with internal and production variants, local and remote notifications, and store privacy declarations.
Environment
Unknown · not established
Symptom signature
Component
mobile-release-safety
Operation
Tokens and installation registrations can rotate, expire, or be revoked while a queued candidate still references an older lifecycle.
Literal source
Not supplied
Expected behavior
Queued candidates are compared with the current registration lifecycle and stale ones become explicitly unconfirmed or invalid.

FACT: Revision-aware registration prevents old candidates from using a new or revoked destination. INFERENCE: Lifecycle state must be revalidated just like event truth. RECOMMENDATION: Store opaque installation identity plus registration revision, mark stale work explicitly, and require a new candidate after rotation or revocation.
