A kiosk that booted before its server, as after a power cut, stopped on 'This
display could not be reached' until someone pressed Retry: with the network
up, no online event ever came. It now retries on its own, from two seconds
doubling to a minute. A running display also re-resolves its descriptor every
five minutes in the background, so a module upgraded on the server is picked
up without a reload, and the same answer disturbs nothing.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5.5 4bcdb578e6 fix(display): keep a live display across reconnects, and return a revoked one to pairing
Every browser 'online' event reset the display host to its loading state and
mounted the module again: a fresh viewer session, a fresh stage, and every
cached object URL released, on each Wi-Fi blip. And a device revoked while its
display was open never noticed; it kept playing cached content and polling
403s until someone reloaded the page.

The host now re-resolves its descriptor in the background (ADR 0043) and only
replaces the frame when the answer actually changed: a new version or
principal remounts, a refusal returns the screen to pairing (ADR 0036), and
any other failure keeps the running display. A module request refused with
401/403 prompts the same revalidation, throttled, so revocation is noticed
within one heartbeat. The offline indicator waits ten seconds before
appearing, so a momentary blip shows nothing, and no longer names the
platform on a lobby wall.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 ca3f37d5f9 feat: let a display survive its network — as code, not as authorization
A display is the one surface expected to outlive its network: a television on
a wall in a building whose uplink is a consumer router, with nobody standing
in front of it. When that uplink drops and the screen reboots, the browser
shows its own error page — not the display shell, not an Ekklesia message,
nothing that recovers on its own, because there is no Ekklesia code left
running to recover.

Cache the shell and the declared code, in a service worker scoped to
`/display/`: the page, the host script, the module's display artifact, and
every contributed renderer that display actually mounted. All of them are code
whose bytes already confer no authority, and all of them are addressed by a
URL carrying an exact version.

Cache nothing else, ever. Not the descriptor, not `/api/v1/principal`, not a
module or platform API response, not the realtime stream, not a pairing
exchange, and not any cross-origin request — which is what a signed
object-delivery URL is. It is an allowlist rather than a deny list, so the
cost of forgetting a new endpoint is that code goes uncached rather than that
a permission decision gets stored.

The consequence is stated rather than papered over: a display cannot render
module content while offline. Mounting needs a descriptor, a descriptor is
authorization-bearing, and it is never cached — so a revoked device stays
revoked and cached code can never manufacture current authorization. What the
cache buys is that a kiosk rebooting mid-outage boots into Ekklesia's own
offline state and keeps retrying, that reconnecting mounts with nothing left
to download, and that a hiccup fetching 600 KB of artifact after the tiny
descriptor already resolved falls back to identical bytes instead of failing
the display.

Network-first everywhere, so a screen picks up new code the moment the server
returns and can never be trapped on an obsolete build — the failure mode a
cache-first worker produces on a screen nobody visits. Only a complete
same-origin 200 is stored. Cache names carry a policy version and superseded
generations are deleted; artifacts are pruned to the current version per
module, keeping every artifact belonging to that version because a display
artifact and its contributed renderers share one. The worker never caches
itself.

The page gets a small signal built from two sources, because either alone
lies: `navigator.onLine` is optimistic behind a captive portal, and only the
worker knows it actually served from cache. A display shows a quiet corner
indicator rather than blanking a lobby wall, and resolves its descriptor again
by itself when the network returns — nobody presses Retry on a lobby TV.

Every caching decision lives in a module that touches no global, so the
behaviour is exercised directly rather than through a worker a test runner
cannot host. Registration is an enhancement: no service workers, plain HTTP,
or a refusing policy all leave a display that works exactly as before.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 80189c8ae2 feat: give display devices their own paired identity
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 40s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 21s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 1m22s
ADR 0033 gave Ekklesia a display host and ADR 0034 gave it a login page.
Together, the only way to light a television in a foyer was to sign a
human being into it and leave that session running on a screen anyone can
walk up to: a person's credentials on a wall, a person's session as the
thing signage depends on, and the display going dark when they are
revoked or their session simply expires.

A screen is not a person. Ekklesia now recognizes three principal classes
— anonymous, authenticated human, and managed device — and a device is a
first-class principal with its own credential and its own explicit
permissions. It has no email, no password, and no row in the identity
tables, and it satisfies the `authenticated` baseline never, so every
route that settles for "somebody is signed in" stays closed to it.

Device permissions live in their own table because
ekklesia_core_grant.user_id is a non-null foreign key into the user table
and making it polymorphic would rewrite the platform's central
authorization record to serve one narrow case. That is a schema decision,
not a second decision point: the evaluator gained one branch, so a device
is allowed or denied by the same function, with the same deny-by-default,
as anyone else — with no owner path it could reach and no baseline that
stands in for a grant.

The six-digit code is not the credential. It is printed across a screen in
a public hallway, so it is treated as public: it identifies a request to
an administrator and is worth nothing alone. Collecting the credential
also requires a 256-bit claim secret held only in the requesting browser's
HttpOnly cookie, and approving requires the restricted core.devices.manage
permission. Without that split, reading a code off a wall would hand over
the screen's identity.

The permission a pairing asks for is read from the module's validated
display declaration, never from the request, so a browser cannot ask to be
granted core.devices.manage or another module's permission. Approval
grants exactly that one permission.

Credentials are stored only as SHA-256; the raw value exists in the
Set-Cookie that issues it and the device's own cookie jar, and is never
logged, returned in JSON, or placed in a URL. The cookie is HttpOnly, so
the module display code running in that same page cannot read it.
Revocation is a server-side column checked on every principal resolution,
and re-pairing mints a new identity so an old credential can never come
back. State transitions are conditional updates, so one code cannot be
approved twice or claimed into two credentials under a race.

/api/v1/principal still reports a device as anonymous: it is what the
Dashboard uses to decide whether a person is signed in. Displays read
their viewer from the descriptor instead, which already performed the
authorization — so displays are descriptor-first while the Dashboard stays
principal-first, and neither infers an identity by elimination.

Proven end to end against real PostgreSQL and real HTTP: an unpaired
screen shows a code, an owner approves it, the device opens the display
descriptor and a realtime stream, and revocation closes both while the
device still holds its cookie. An already-open SSE stream is bounded by
realtime's existing five-minute reconnect rather than closed instantly,
and that bound is documented rather than called immediate.
