+## Lifecycle concurrency and cleanup
+
+Use one session instance per tab and vault mount. In **both transports**,
+`login`, `exchange`, `refresh`, and `logout` run in invocation order. A logout
+queued behind refresh uses the rotated handle/cookie. Cookie operations also
+hold the scope's Web Lock across their HTTP work and credential publication.
+Body queues belong to the instance; they do not coordinate other instances or
+copied tab handles.
+
+Concurrent `refresh()` callers receive the **same Promise** until a call to
+`login`, `exchange`, `logout`, `clear`, or `resetKey` starts a new batch. The first caller's
+`rejectedToken` applies to that batch. A refresh invoked after a queued logout
+waits behind it instead of joining the earlier refresh. Read-only `getKey()`
+checks can run alongside the queue and one another; only their still-current
+failure cleanup enters the mutation queue. They neither start refresh nor
+erase a pending login merely because exchange has not finished.
+
+Every asynchronous session operation keeps its entry-time authority. `clear`,
+`resetKey`, a terminal auth failure, and `dispose` supersede older work, including queued
+operations. Stale results cannot publish tokens/handles, change cookie
+generation metadata, clear a newer login, or navigate. A stale call rejects
+with **`DPOP_OPERATION_SUPERSEDED`**, or **`DPOP_SESSION_DISPOSED`** after
+disposal; both have `requiresLogin: false`. Follow the current session flow
+rather than clearing auth or starting another login in response to these
+errors. Key reads and background peer callbacks also lose authority when a
+newer auth state is published. A new `login()` intent additionally supersedes
+older peer callbacks immediately, including while that login is waiting in the
+lifecycle queue or for the cookie Web Lock.

+Clear/reset/dispose invalidate pending cookie-version and session-owned key
+transactions as well as memory publication. After clear or reset, unsolicited peer messages cannot restore this
+context; an explicit successful exchange/refresh must reestablish auth. Peer
+waits end within 180ms, or immediately on local invalidation/disposal, and a
+late peer lookup cannot publish after that wait has ended. Same-origin tabs
+still reuse the current generation's live winner token; key-loss, expiry and
+recognition checks remain mandatory. Reset notifications are advisory: peers
+check that **both** scoped records are still absent and that their local
+key/generation matches the deletion. A delayed notification or old-binding
+failure cannot clear a replacement login, including a fresh key created before
+cookie metadata is written. Concurrent resets share their pending removal until
+another lifecycle mutation intervenes; repeating after completion also succeeds
+when both records are already absent.
+
+Clear/token/reset messages are advisory until their shared key/generation state
+is checked. A failed peer recognition or coordination lookup leaves local auth
+and pending login intact. An admitted token's key-validation failure still
+invalidates a matching current local credential; explicit credential operations
+continue to report genuine key/storage and terminal session errors.
+
+**Limits:** already-started storage/crypto and noncooperative custom transport
+work may still finish, but superseded results cannot publish. Vault HTTP waits
+are bounded as described below; storage, recognition hooks, and time waiting
+for other Web Lock owners are outside that HTTP deadline. Cleanup cannot undo
+a server mutation or a browser-applied `Set-Cookie`. Await `clear()` or
+`resetKey()` before disposing when its persistence work must finish. Lifecycle cleanup also
+does not cancel caller-owned API requests or revoke already-issued stateless
+JWTs. Coordination remains limited to one frontend origin/storage
+partition/scope.

+| `maxResponseBytes` | **1,048,576 bytes (1 MiB)** | Positive safe integer. Counts bytes actually read from the fetch body stream on every HTTP status, after browser HTTP decompression. |
+
+Invalid options throw `TypeError` at session construction; zero and infinity
+do not disable the bounds. Content-Length is not trusted to measure the body:
+missing, understated, overstated, or malformed values do not change the byte
+count. UTF-8 characters count by their bytes, not JavaScript string length.
+Custom fetch implementations must expose a standard streaming `Response.body`.
+
+```ts
+import { createOidcVaultDpopSession, fetchWithDpop } from '@web-ts-toolkit/oidc-vault-dpop-client';
+import type { OidcVaultDpopSessionOptions } from '@web-ts-toolkit/oidc-vault-dpop-client';

+    { signal },
+  );
+  return response.json();
+}
+```
+
+The HTTP deadline excludes the lifecycle queue, key/proof/recognition work and
+credential publication. An allowed nonce retry gets its own deadline, with
+the existing two-attempt vault budget. A trickling body cannot reset it.
+Deadline or byte overflow rejects with fixed **`DPOP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT`** or
+**`DPOP_RESPONSE_TOO_LARGE`**, both `requiresLogin: false`. These failures do
+not themselves clear auth, and release refresh/FIFO/Web Lock ownership for a
+later explicit operation. Malformed JSON still follows the existing route
+response-contract error handling.
+
+Clear/reset/invalidation/disposal abort the session-owned request and stop waiting
+even if an injected fetch or stream ignores AbortSignal. Cancellation and
+reader cleanup are best effort: their failure or noncompletion cannot delay
+settlement or replace its primary outcome. Late responses are discarded and
+late rejections are observed. Timers cannot run in suspended tabs or preempt
+synchronous JavaScript; elapsed time is also checked after decoding/parsing
+before accepting a result.
+
+For `fetchWithDpop`, a pre-aborted signal starts no refresh, key lookup, proof
+or network work. Later cancellation rejects with `signal.reason` promptly,
+including while waiting for shared refresh/key work. It cancels only this
+caller's wait; another waiter's shared refresh continues and may publish its
+result. Proof work checks cancellation before signing, including after the
+access-token digest; already-started Web Crypto may finish. Standalone
+`createDpopProof` also accepts `DpopProofInput.signal`. API requests receive the
+caller signal; the returned response/body belongs to the caller. The vault
+timeout/byte options do not bound API bodies. Cleanup of a discarded API
+challenge response cannot stall its permitted retry or replace its outcome.
+
+**Uncertain commit / retry:** no timeout, cancellation, byte-limit, or network
+failure automatically retries a mutation. The server may already have
+consumed an exchange code, rotated a refresh handle, or completed logout, and
+the browser may already have applied `Set-Cookie`. Aborting does not roll that
+back. An explicit retry is not evidence that the first attempt failed; a lost
+body-mode rotation can make the retained old handle unusable and require fresh
+login. Use the operation's server-side recovery/idempotency contract when
+deciding what to do next.

+Additional confirmation fields/methods are rejected.
+
+JWT `exp` is mandatory: a nonnegative safe integer in epoch **seconds**, with
+safe `exp * 1000` milliseconds. Response `expiresIn` is nonnegative
+safe-integer **seconds**; its millisecond conversion and addition to the
+current nonnegative safe-integer epoch-millisecond clock must also be safe.
+Invalid or overflowing values are rejected even when a shorter deadline could
+otherwise hide them. The effective `DpopAccessToken.expiresAt` is the earlier
+of the response deadline and JWT expiry. These are **response-contract decode
+checks, not JWT authentication**: each API must independently verify the JWT
+signature/expiry/issuer/audience and the original-key request proof.
+
+`expiresIn: 0` remains valid so a rotated body handle can be retained. The
+returned credential may already be expired; `getAccessToken()` is a snapshot,
+not a guarantee of a live token. `fetchWithDpop` checks the deadline per attempt
+and after asynchronous proof work. A nonlive refresh result stops with
+`DPOP_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRED` (`requiresLogin: false`), preserves session handles,
+and starts no additional refresh loop; a later explicit refresh may recover.
+Cookie peer adoption clamps the envelope deadline to JWT expiry and requires
+the final result to be strictly in the future. Cookie responses and peer
+tokens must contain no `sessionId` property.
+
+Invalid direct responses produce `INVALID_BOUND_CREDENTIAL_RESPONSE`; invalid
+or expired peer tokens are ignored. The paired server enforces the same bound
+JWT profile before claim mapping in **both** validator methods after JOSE
+verification. Generic unbound JWTs retain optional-expiry compatibility, and

+  API response, including a repeated challenge, is returned to the caller.

+Each permitted attempt mints a fresh proof/`jti`/signature with the current

+its challenge; the **next explicit invocation** can send the learned nonce.
+Learning from a header never authorizes resubmission of the current mutation.
+
+### Nonce cache and challenge parsing
+
+`DpopNonceCache` holds at most **64 `(protection space, key thumbprint)`
+tuples** per instance. A successful `remember` renews that tuple's write order;
+insertion at capacity evicts the **oldest remembered** tuple. Reads do not
+promote entries, and rejected values neither replace an entry nor change
+eviction order. Vault mounts and API `(origin, replayNamespace)` spaces remain
+separate. API calls share a default cache through their session, even when a
+new context wrapper is passed each time; a supplied `nonces` cache uses the
+same limits and isolation.
+
+Accepted nonce headers contain **one opaque value of 1–512 visible ASCII
+characters**, excluding whitespace, double quotes, backslashes, and commas.
+The client never trims, splits, unquotes, or decodes the exposed header value.
+Comma-containing values, including Fetch-coalesced duplicate fields (even
+identical ones), are rejected without overwriting a usable nonce. This is the
+OAuth nonce-character syntax restricted to an unambiguous single header value.
+There is **no client-invented TTL**: nonce expiry is determined by the server's
+next challenge, not by interpreting its private nonce format. Cache eviction
+can likewise require a new challenge.
+
+The API `WWW-Authenticate` parser accepts auth-parameters in any order, token
+or quoted values, and other authentication schemes in the same field. Only
+**one unambiguous DPoP challenge** can trigger recovery. Bearer errors and
+quoted descriptions never supply a DPoP error. Duplicate parameter names
+(case-insensitive), multiple DPoP challenges, malformed/empty list members,
+or a field longer than **8,192 characters** cause no refresh/retry. A valid
+nonce header can still be learned independently of that decision. Vault
+status/nonce fields are captured before body reads, so an injected response

+operation; error handling never silently deletes or creates a key.
+
+### Explicit recovery from a corrupt key
+
+An **existing but unusable** record (for example, a mismatched private/public
+pair) also fails validation during `login()`. Retrying login or calling
+`clear()` cannot repair it: clear deliberately keeps the key. Offer an explicit
+recovery action that calls `resetKey()` and awaits it before starting login:
+
+```ts
+import { createOidcVaultDpopSession } from '@web-ts-toolkit/oidc-vault-dpop-client';
+
+const session = createOidcVaultDpopSession({
+  backendOrigin: 'https://api.example.com',
+  basePath: '/auth/oidc/body',
+  sessionTransport: 'body',
+});
 
-`OidcVaultDpopClientError` carries a stable `code`, a fixed message (never
+// A user-invoked recovery button when the persisted browser key is unusable.
+export async function recoverBrowserKey(): Promise<void> {
+  await session.resetKey();
+  await session.login('/callback?transport=body');
+  // The redirect callback calls session.exchange(code), as in the quickstart.
+}
+```
+
+Reset bypasses key validation and removes both scoped IndexedDB records in one
+guarded transaction. It leaves other vault mounts/backend origins and their
+installed keys/metadata intact. The next explicit login persists a fresh
+non-extractable key using the same atomic first-key-wins path across tabs.
+IndexedDB still has to be available; reset does not repair denied/unavailable
+browser storage. Recovery is never automatic on API, refresh, logout, proof,
+nonce, timeout, or recognition errors.
+
+**Reset is local-only recovery.** Other sessions using the removed key need a
+fresh login; cookie peers are notified under the shared lock, and body tabs
+detect the lost/changed key on their next credential operation. The HttpOnly
+cookie is not removed, old server sessions remain until **explicit revocation
+or expiry**, and issued stateless JWTs are not revoked. If the key is still
+usable and server sign-out is wanted, call `logout()` before resetting it.
+An already-started API request, browser-applied cookie, server mutation, or
+previously obtained `CryptoKey` reference cannot be undone by local deletion.
+API requests remain caller-owned; use their AbortSignal for local cancellation.
+
+### Error classification
+
+Package-generated `OidcVaultDpopClientError`s carry a stable `code`, a fixed message (never
 keys, credentials, fingerprints, or URLs), `requiresLogin`, and an optional
 HTTP `status`. Treat `requiresLogin === true` as "route to sign-in"; enrolled
 recognition changes surface as `OIDC_VAULT_FINGERPRINT_REAUTH_REQUIRED` (clear
 auth, start fresh POST login, no automatic re-enrollment).
 
+Vault JSON errors use an explicit code allowlist rather than treating every
+HTTP 401 as logout. These **terminal** server codes clear local auth and
+pending login, invalidate cookie coordination metadata, and require sign-in:
+
+| Code                                     | Meaning                                                               |
+| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `OIDC_VAULT_INVALID_SESSION`             | Session is missing, expired, or no longer usable.                     |
+| `OIDC_VAULT_MISSING_SESSION_ID`          | The body handle or session cookie is missing (HTTP 400).              |
+| `OIDC_VAULT_MALFORMED_SESSION_COOKIE`    | The session cookie is malformed (HTTP 400).                           |
+| `OIDC_VAULT_INVALID_EXCHANGE_CODE`       | The exchange code is invalid/expired (HTTP 400); begin a fresh login. |
+| `OIDC_VAULT_INVALID_BROWSER_BINDING`     | The login transaction's browser-cookie binding failed.                |
+| `OIDC_VAULT_DEVICE_BINDING_REQUIRED`     | The session needs a device-bound login.                               |
+| `OIDC_VAULT_FINGERPRINT_REAUTH_REQUIRED` | Enrolled recognition changed or is absent.                            |
+
+Proof/nonce errors (`OIDC_VAULT_INVALID_DPOP_PROOF`,
+`OIDC_VAULT_DPOP_REQUIRED`, `OIDC_VAULT_USE_DPOP_NONCE`) are **non-terminal**,
+even on HTTP 401. Replay-store unavailability, upstream/provider failures, and
+request/configuration failures also retain auth. An invalid recognition input
+(`OIDC_VAULT_INVALID_FINGERPRINT`) is non-terminal; it differs from a confirmed
+enrollment mismatch. Non-terminal does not promise that a retry will succeed
+or authorize one automatically; use the operation's recovery contract.
+
+Unknown codes, including object-prototype names, become fixed
+**`OIDC_REQUEST_FAILED` / `The OIDC request failed.`**, `requiresLogin: false`;
+server codes/messages are never copied into that fallback. The HTTP status is
+retained. Local key loss, binding/token-type violations and invalid bound
+credential responses remain terminal. API HTTP failures are still caller-owned
+`Response`s, with automatic recovery limited to the challenge rules above.
+
+Construction can also throw `TypeError` for invalid options; caller abort
+rejects with `signal.reason`. Do not assume every thrown value is a package
+error or automatically start login for a non-terminal failure.

+## Multiple services behind a gateway
+
+Use `DpopApi.pathPrefix` to select each service's credential policy and backend
+`replayNamespace` on one public origin. Pass the **full public URL**, including
+the service path; `pathPrefix` selects the scope without adding or stripping a
+mount. Bootstrap the session with login/exchange or refresh as above.
+
+```ts
+import { createOidcVaultDpopSession, fetchWithDpop } from '@web-ts-toolkit/oidc-vault-dpop-client';
+import type { DpopApi, DpopFetchContext } from '@web-ts-toolkit/oidc-vault-dpop-client';
+
+const origin = 'https://gateway.example.com';
+const session = createOidcVaultDpopSession({

+  sessionTransport: 'body',
+});
+const apis: readonly DpopApi[] = [
+  { origin, pathPrefix: '/orders', replayNamespace: 'orders-api' },
+  // This billing service also uses an application cookie.
+  { origin, pathPrefix: '/billing', replayNamespace: 'billing-api', credentials: 'include' },
+];
+const gateway: DpopFetchContext = { session, apis };
+
+export function loadOrders(): Promise<Response> {
+  return fetchWithDpop(gateway, `${origin}/orders?limit=20`);
+}
+
+export function loadInvoices(): Promise<Response> {
+  return fetchWithDpop(gateway, `${origin}/billing/invoices`);
+}
+```
+
+Selection is **case-sensitive at normalized path-segment boundaries**:
+`/orders` matches `/orders`, `/orders/`, and `/orders/42`, but neither
+`/orders-evil` nor `/orders%2Fevil`. The longest matching prefix wins, regardless
+of array order. For example, `/orders/admin` takes precedence over `/orders`;
+`/orders/admin-evil` still uses `/orders`. Trailing prefix slashes are removed,
+so `/orders/` and `/orders` define the same scope.
+
+**Omission and root are origin-wide.** Leaving out `pathPrefix` preserves the
+existing whole-origin behavior. Explicit `/`, or a prefix that normalizes to
+`/`, also permits credentials on **every path** at that origin. A root entry is
+a fallback for paths outside more-specific entries. Without such a fallback,
+an unmatched path fails before access-token lookup, refresh, key lookup,
+signing, or network work.
+
+Matching, the outbound pathname, and proof `htu` use the same normalization:
+unreserved percent escapes (`A–Z`, `a–z`, digits, `-._~`) decode, remaining
+escape hex digits uppercase, and dot segments collapse. Thus `/ord%65rs` is
+sent as `/orders`, and `/orders/%2e%2e/billing` can only use the billing scope
+(or an origin-wide fallback). **Reserved escapes stay encoded**: `%2F`, `%5C`,
+`%3F`, and `%23` never become separators, a new authority, query, or fragment.
+Double-encoded escapes are not decoded again. Query order, duplicate query
+parameters, escaping, and fragment data are retained in the URL passed to
+fetch. HTTP omits the fragment; the proof omits both query and fragment. The
+same uppercase method is used for the proof and every outbound attempt.
+
+Every invocation validates **all** entries, including nonmatching ones, before
+auth work. An origin must contain only scheme/host/port and an optional root
+slash, with HTTPS except for loopback development. A prefix must be an absolute
+path without a URL/`//` authority-like prefix, query, fragment, whitespace,
+backslash, control character, or malformed escape. `replayNamespace` must be
+1–128 printable ASCII characters; `credentials` accepts only `omit` (default)
+or `include`. Duplicate normalized `(origin, pathPrefix)` scopes are rejected
+even if their policies are identical: this includes omission versus `/`,
+trailing slashes, equivalent unreserved escapes, and equivalent dot segments.
+Targets must already be absolute HTTP(S) URLs; configuring a prefix never
+makes a relative, userinfo-bearing, or malformed target usable.
+
+The target and selected origin/path/namespace/**credentials** are snapshotted
+before asynchronous auth work. All attempts and nonce learning for that
+invocation keep that snapshot, including across refresh/key waits. Caller
+configuration changes apply to later invocations. Nonces retain the existing
+`['api', normalizedOrigin, replayNamespace]` + signing-key-thumbprint tuple:
+the two services above use independent nonce spaces, while paths deliberately
+using the same origin/namespace share a nonce space. Path selection leaves the
+nonce/refresh retry budgets and single-attempt mutation policy below intact.
