v1/v2 described a move-based design that Option C superseded on 2026-07-20,
and the AEC playback-leg identity gate has since passed. Roughly two thirds
of v2 documented problems Option C does not have, so this is a rewrite rather
than a patch (v1/v2 remain at 88ad5a0 / 10203e1).
Folds in: the four AEC gate results, the five corrections that constrain them
(observed correlation not a contract; exact-equality only; index/link-group
reuse and node-id recycling; group prefix = hazard detection not ownership;
application.process.id == pipewire-pulse for module-created streams), the
verified implicit-drop ordering defect in ActiveSession, fail-closed
validation/revocation, the IPC shape, and the split-out prerequisites.
