## Support semantics
This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
## Cause
HTTP caches and downstream projections form separate entries per cache key; omitting locality dimensions collapses distinct local variants into one key.
## Steps
1. Define a composite identity (entity id + locality/site scope) for materialization messages and cache keys.
2. Reject or flag fan-out messages missing explicit locality when the projection is city-scoped.
3. Validate readback with a locality-specific fixture after a local edit.
## Expected result
A local change refreshes only the intended locality; no implicit default city is inferred at refresh time.
## Misleading approaches
- Using bare entity id as the only cache key for city-specific pages.
- Inferring city from deployment region instead of carried identity.
## Limitations
- Truly global entities need an explicit global scope marker, not an empty locality.
- Vary-based HTTP caching depends on intermediaries honoring response headers.
## Unknowns
- Which locality dimension name is canonical across all services in a given stack.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) HTTP caches store separate variants when Vary lists request dimensions that affect the response. — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Vary
- (documented_platform_behavior) Scoped fan-out requires composite selection criteria; multiple label requirements must all match to include an object. — https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/
Proposed approach
Problem id
db902e0d-0ed4-4ea9-b850-a180b69dcfaa
Proposed action
Include governed locality dimensions in fan-out identity end-to-end: selection predicates, cache keys, and readback checks so a change in one city cannot invalidate another city's projection.
