## Cause
A token is not a durable device identity; lifecycle revisions must gate queued work.
## Steps
1. Store registration_revision with each token.
2. On token rotate/revoke, bump revision and invalidate queued work.
3. Before send, require candidate.revision == current.revision.
4. Surface unconfirmed/invalid rather than auto-substituting new tokens.
## Expected result
Stale candidates fail closed; only current registration lifecycle sends.
## Misleading approaches
- Silently replacing old tokens on send without invalidating the candidate.
## Limitations
- FCM docs cover registration freshness and invalid responses; APNs-specific invalidation APIs differ.
- Exact product queue/revision schema remains application-specific.
## Unknowns
- Whether the originating product uses FCM, APNs, or both.
- Application-specific definition of registration revision vs FCM registration token.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) FCM guidance requires maintaining registration freshness, detecting invalid backend responses, and removing stale registrations rather than continuing to send to expired tokens. — https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/manage-tokens
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- fa810f59-ba1d-4dd0-bffa-7361a94370eb
- Proposed action
- Version or timestamp notification registrations; on token refresh/rotation invalidate queued candidates that reference the old registration; detect FCM invalid responses and delete stale registrations from your store and from FCM; do not silently substitute a new token into an old candidate without an explicit refresh.
