- A state file that cannot be written now has a test on both of its paths:
the attempt (nothing is sent, or a read-only data directory would send a
request at every start) and the verdict (the key is not reported revoked
when nothing on disk says so). The first path was correct but unguarded:
the review's mutation left all 185 tests green.
- The storage outcome no longer claims that nothing was sent: it also covers
a verdict that could not be written. Reworded in licenseService.ts, the
in-app log line and docs/architecture.md.
- The Updates card names a revoked key in its Free branch, between the
message and the CTAs: a refunded Base buyer first meets the loss of
automatic updates there (Max, 2026-10-03). The error page stays as it is.
- A revoked key keeps being checked once per 24 h while it stays stored, so
that a correction made on the license server is picked up (Max,
2026-10-03). Declared in the user guide, the in-app docs, the changelogs
and the ADR 0017 amendment.

Five mutations survived the first pass, for four gaps:
- the revoked flag exposed by the provider: the value is now derived by
licenseContextValue, a plain function, and tested;
- the price message for a revoked license missing from either locale;
- the attempt written after the request instead of before: a test now reads
the state file from the server's side, while the request is in flight;
- the 24 h interval, which the boundary rows followed because they were
built from the constant: both sides of the boundary are written out.

A refunded license was revoked on the server but kept working in the app:
the edition is resolved offline from the key alone, and the flag added by
#347 lasted the session only and never touched the edition.
Rust
- license.check, next to the key, holds what the license server last said
about it: {key_sha256, attempted_at, revoked}. Never the key itself. A
missing, unreadable or invalid file, or a state about another key, reads
as "no state": not revoked, check due.
- entitlements_from_dir resolves a revoked key to ("free", []), which also
locks auto-update. read_license and store_license report the state.
- check_license_revocation: POST /v1/licenses/verify with the product and
the key only. Nothing is sent without a stored key that validates, nor
within 24 h of the last attempt, which is written before the request.
Fail-open: only "valid" lifts the state, only "revoked" sets it.
- Activation, machine list and deactivation record a license_revoked answer
under the key they sent.
- fetch_price reads error.code of a 403 and names license_revoked instead of
premium_required. It records nothing: the price route judges the license
of the activation token, which the client cannot tie to the stored key,
and 0.15.0 left the token of a previous key next to a new one (#367).
Front
- LicenseContext takes the revoked state from Rust (info.revoked); the
session flag and markRevoked are gone. The check starts once per app
start, writes its outcome to the in-app log, and reloads the context only
when the state changed. A revoked key entered again stays Free.
- UpsellGate and the License card name the revocation.

its bounds), architecture, user guide, price contract annex, changelogs.
