A cross-layer workflow passes unit tests but breaks when client, API, and persistence state arrive in a different order. The affected area is notification center.
Repair the notification center cache lifecycle implementation so it separates purge, refresh, and escalation actions by staleness and risk.
Evidence
- Affected surface: Balanced full-stack / notification center.
- Observed failure family: plan cache invalidation.
- Scope policy: cohort must equal stable.
