     committed-prefix divergence, and existing comparison tooling confirms the rejoined member's
     job/queue state matches the rest of the cluster
   - _Requirements: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3_
+  - _Blocked: 10-round chaotic soak run (unmodified, no forced empty-rejoin yet) shows
+    committed_job_loss=0 (the feature's core goal — CONFIRMED FIXED) but committed_divergence=11.
+    Root cause is upstream, not in this spec's boundary: `walcompare` (testsuite/walcompare.c)
+    has no concept of a per-member compaction/checkpoint floor — `wc_compare_committed` requires
+    EVERY member to physically hold EVERY WAL entry at or below one uniform `--committed N` floor
+    (the soak passes the same scalar to all 3 members, see `walcheck_count` in run-ha-soak.sh and
+    `cmd_walcompare` in test.c). A member that legitimately catches up via a full-checkpoint
+    snapshot will, BY DESIGN, have no raw WAL entries below its own checkpoint LSN (that range was
+    restored via entity content, not WAL replay) — walcompare has no per-member "compacted below
+    this LSN, don't expect it" signal, so it will always flag that range as MISSING/divergent
+    regardless of whether ha-entity-snapshots restored the entities correctly. This is exactly
+    `raft-ha-core-safety` task 3 ("Snapshot-boundary reconciliation" — "Make snapshot install
+    establish a verifiable (term, lsn) at the checkpoint so post-install AE intake reconciles
+    correctly and no committed entry below the checkpoint can diverge", still `[ ]` unimplemented)
+    and its task 5.10a residual, NOT a gap in this spec — design.md's Boundary Commitments
+    explicitly place "WAL-trim floor computation" out of this spec's boundary. Additionally, this
+    specific soak run never actually exercised a full-checkpoint catch-up at all (grepped all 3
+    node logs for the `ha.c:2618`/`2621` "HA: snapshot loaded ..." / "... legacy position-only ..."
+    lines and `ha_handle_snapshot_chunk`: zero matches) — `start_node` in run-ha-soak.sh restarts a
+    process in place without wiping its data dir, so every rejoin in this run was ordinary
+    WAL-stream catch-up, never a snapshot install. Forcing the required empty-rejoin scenario is
+    still outstanding. Do not patch `walcompare`'s per-member floor logic from inside this spec —
+    route that fix to `raft-ha-core-safety` task 3; this task stays blocked until that contract
+    lands, then re-run with a forced empty-rejoin round to get a true signal on this spec's own
+    entity-restore correctness._
