 [Source boundary and qualification](../../docs/evidence/connector-redaction-basis-2026-10-08.md).
 
+Session captures reread the custody registry and declared files before each
+transfer, including rate-limit retries. A stale queued capture is retained
+locally and replaced by a fresh full capture; its carried prefix, parts and
+native references are not reused. Original artifact files stay held until a
+replacement commit acknowledges the native bundle too. Other queued sessions
+can proceed. `supercode teams status` and `supercode auth status` show the holds
+and explain that registration does not purge already transferred or published
+data. A Teams administrator uses `TeamsClient.purgeSessionText` / `POST
+/api/v1/teams/:team/sessions/purge` for retrospective session-text cleanup.
+Direct writes after the last check and requests already in flight have **no
+bounded exposure time**. This is capture-transfer source behavior, with runtime
+and single-machine qualification still open.

 `supercode teams rpc mail.statistics` reads local storage counts and import/retention receipts. It is refused remotely
 and through the app door. Writer groups count stored envelope copies, not call attempts or quotas; database page
 counts exclude physical WAL size. Successful imports record their actual source reads, bytes, batch sizes and time.
