Without `fsync`, a crash or power loss between the write and the OS flushing its page cache can leave the snapshot absent or truncated, and a reader that then finds an older-but-still-valid snapshot silently rolls taint *backwards* — taint that was recorded disappears, and a sink that should deny allows.

An agent able to create a symlink in its own home directory could otherwise redirect the taint store: a symlink at the snapshot path makes the reader return an attacker-chosen file, letting the agent select the taint state the sink classifier sees, and a symlink at the taint directory redirects every snapshot, pending marker and lockfile at once.

That said nothing about whether the relay was still *receiving*, so a relay that stopped accepting events months ago reported PASS indefinitely. Verify now also checks heartbeat recency and the delivery-divergence marker, which was already being recorded but which verify ignored. It reports `DEGRADED` when the log may be incomplete, and for the first time sets a process exit code (0 pass, 1 damaged, 2 degraded) — previously it printed `FAIL` on corrupt lines and still exited 0, so any CI or cron check piping it saw success. New `--max-silence ` and `--json` options. + +If you are upgrading and `relay verify` now reports DEGRADED where it previously reported PASS, that is the new check working rather than a new fault: the condition it names was already present and unreported. Note the distinction the output states explicitly — DEGRADED means the log may be **incomplete**, not that it was **edited**. Patchwork can prove the log was not altered.

Twenty-four restarts over + * the period. + * + * So a non-zero count mostly records transient, long-past, and largely + * unavoidable events. Degrading on it permanently would mean every + * install that has ever restarted its relay reports DEGRADED forever, and + * an alarm that is always on is worse than no alarm because it teaches + * people to dismiss it. + * + * Historical divergence is therefore reported as a NOTE, and only RECENT + * divergence degrades the status.
