 - 4.1: ANALYSIS-ONLY (no .c/.h). Pinned freshness-floor formula in design.md §"Freshness-Floor Formula (task 4.1)" — THE CONTRACT 4.2 implements. CANDIDATE advertises BARE `cand_lsn = persist_durable_floor(p)` (durable WAL tip) — sites ha.c:3660-3666 (real-vote) + ha.c:3735-3741 (PreVote) must call `persist_durable_floor` DIRECTLY, BYPASSING `ha_vote_self_freshness` on the LSN axis (that fn unconditionally folds in `last_known_committed_lsn` → `max(durable_floor, learned)` = the truncated-candidate-wins bug). VOTER floor = `max(durable_floor, last_known_committed_lsn)` — sites cluster.c:388-395/471-475 + ha.c:2243 keep `ha_vote_self_freshness` with `local_lsn=durable_floor` (the learned_committed backstop stays on the VOTER axis only). Grant iff `cand_tag > floor_tag OR (==tag AND cand_lsn >= floor_lsn)` (term-then-index, matches raft.tla `LastTerm`/`mlastLogIndex |-> Len(log)`). `cand_tag`/`floor_tag` = `max(local_tag, learned_tag)`. SAFETY (Leader Completeness): quorum intersection Q_L∩Q_v ⇒ truncated candidate (durable tip < committed L) denied. LIVENESS (no bug-339 livelock): rests on D* (max durable tip in reachable majority); `durable_floor(v) ≤ D*` and `learned_committed(v) ≤ L ≤ D*`, so the most-durable candidate is always grantable. `safe_committed_lsn` STAYS voter-reply-sourced (unchanged). CAVEAT: raft.tla validates election/freshness LOGIC only, NOT durability (no TLC run — no toolchain; conceptual alignment) — durability verified by 2.x/3.4 tests. (1 remediation: candidate-vs-voter contradiction + §5b example fixed.)
 - 4.2: Implements the 4.1 formula. New `ha_candidate_advertise_lsn(persist*)` = bare `persist_durable_floor`. CANDIDATE sites advertise bare durable_floor for the LSN (tag still via `ha_vote_self_freshness(...,&tag,NULL)`): ha.c:~3690 (real election), ha.c:~3771 (PreVote), AND myapp.c:~234 (boot election — a THIRD candidate site the brief didn't name; fixed too, else a boot-time truncated candidate over-advertises). VOTER floor: cluster.c:~383 (real) + cluster.c:~471 (PreVote) feed `local_lsn = persist_durable_floor(&c->persist)` into `ha_vote_self_freshness` → floor = `max(durable_floor, learned_committed)`. Comparison unchanged (term-then-index). `ha.c:2243` legacy `handle_request_vote` is XCE_TESTING-only/param-driven — left unchanged. `safe_committed_lsn` UNTOUCHED (voter-reply-sourced). 3 tests in test_ha_vote_gate.c prove: candidate advertises bare durable_floor (not stale learned); voter durable-floor denies truncated; longest-durable grantable / no livelock. bug-339 regression test fixture primed `durable_lsn=10` (model-preserving). INFO: truncated-deny proven at the freshness-comparison-expression level shared by both vote+PreVote paths (no dedicated live PreVote-handler truncation driver — adequate; nice-to-have for 5.x). GOTCHA for future election tests: the freshness floor now reads `persist_durable_floor`, so any vote/election fixture that sets `applied_lsn`/`last_known_committed_lsn` but not durable state will see floor/advertise=0 — prime `durable_lsn` to the modeled tip.
 - 4.3: Pre-promotion eligibility gate in `raft_cb_become_leader` (ha.c, post-truncate / pre-CTRL_PRIMARY, returns on refuse). `ha_promotion_gate_decision` (pure, delegates to 3.3's `persist_recover_decision` — table is single source of truth) + `ha_evaluate_promotion_fence` (live: ELIGIBLE clears `in_catch_up`, FENCE sets it, FATAL → 3.3 `persist_recover_fatal_if_unrecoverable`). REFUSE if `persist_recovery_truncated` OR `persist_durable_floor < promotion_safe_lsn` (the existing voter-reply-derived `safe_committed_lsn`, read AFTER `persist_truncate_wal_above` so it reflects 2.2's clamp). `peer_reachable` = some granting voter has a live endpoint (`ectx->votes[i].vote_granted && .ep != NULL`) — so a multi-node election winner ALWAYS has a peer ⇒ FENCE (never premature FATAL, honoring rows 3/5); FATAL only fires no-peer (single-node corrupt = genuinely unrecoverable, row 4). Reuses `in_catch_up` (NOT a parallel fence); release on a later promotion attempt once caught up (durable_floor ≥ HWM, not truncated) → ELIGIBLE clears the fence (Req 2.6, re-evaluation model). `safe_committed_lsn` arithmetic UNTOUCHED. Turned 3.2 rows 1/2/3/5/6 GREEN (0 ignored boot-policy rows remain) + minimal-quorum test (Req 2.5). DEFERRED to 5.1: the live bounded-window catch-up TIMER (grant `DEFAULT_RECOVERY_CATCHUP_WINDOW_MS` to find a peer before FATAL) — here `catch_up_succeeded=false` at the gate, so it FENCEs (peer) or FATALs (no peer) immediately; fail-loud-conservative, never silently leads hollow. NOTE: reviewed in MAIN CONTEXT (review subagent hit a spend limit) — suite green ×1 (Fail:0, all 9 boot-policy/gate tests PASS, test_fact_hook_append passed too since this shell's /tmp is fsync-able). Phase 4 COMPLETE.
+- 5.1: INTEGRATION verification — the end-to-end durable-majority path was ALREADY wired by 2.1/2.2/2.4/4.x (no production gap found); 5.1 adds 3 integration tests + a tiny `#ifdef XCE_TESTING` liveness-observability seam (`persist_test_last_fdatasync_thread`, nm-excluded from prod). `test_durable_majority_commit_end_to_end`: holds durability off (forced fsync-fail), delivers BOTH standby ACKs, asserts committed_lsn/WAIT do NOT release (ACK-majority alone insufficient) — then flush makes self durable ⇒ committed advances + WAIT releases rc=0; asserts `committed_lsn <= durable_lsn`. RED proof: injecting the pre-2.2 `highest_appended_lsn` cap trips `assert(cand <= persist_durable_lsn)`. `test_sole_durable_contributor_loss_survives` (Req 1.5/2.5): property-asserted (committed ⇒ ≥⌊N/2⌋+1 durable copies, two persist dirs, drop one) — LIVE failover proof is 5.2. `test_durability_work_off_iomgr_preserves_liveness` (Req 1.6): seam records the flusher thread id; asserts fdatasync runs off the caller/iomgr thread + heartbeat reads stay <50ms during flushes. GOTCHA: a real persist with registered standbys needs the `XCE_TESTING repl_broadcast_send_hook` (drop) installed before append, else dummy endpoints trip an ASAN overflow in `dataq_enq`. CAVEATS (for 5.3/validation): (1) meson `Fail:0` masks Unity sub-group failures — gate on `grep -c :FAIL: testlog.txt`==0; (2) run on a fsync-able fs (the pre-existing test_fact_hook_append EIO failure is /tmp-overlay-only). 4.3 catch-up-timer-before-FATAL still a follow-up. Reviewed in MAIN CONTEXT (subagent spend limit).
