 17. X-G7 changes the binding with a fixture decision whose hash differs (row 234's G9 pattern), since the

+    while step 7's or the settle's delete awaited took the record and both tokens, so the grant ends
+    `revoked` with the human's notice, as a revoke of a running executor ends it (X-G11), and no record is
+    written back. N9's restart case stays silent: a restart never settles a revoked rotation.
+19. r2, Dewey B2: a sweep retry of `tokens` or `login` checks the user's id first, as the revoke close does,
+    against the `gitea_users` row (it survives a fire). A 404 skips with `gitea-user-gone`, a 200 with
+    another id with `gitea-user-foreign`, any other status leaves the entry. Skips go in `grant.swept` and
+    the sweep answer as `skipped: [{agent, user, id, reason}]`; a skipped entry is not left, so the next
+    sweep does not retry it.

+- N1: an admin rotate cut between the mint and the slot write leaves a token at Gitea that no event names.
+  A `grant.admin rotate-begin {oldName}` before the mint would close it; that is a new event shape.
+- N2: `adminTokenLeft` is `unknown` when `/api/v1/token` gives no name. Which 1.27 F-fact shows the name
+  needs a check against the container, not a code change.
+- N3: admin set or remove records `adminTokenLeft: null`, so a left token drops out of status. Carrying it
+  forward lets `rotate --finish` delete by name under a slot of another account or url; refusing remove
+  while one is left blocks the human's remove when Gitea is down. Either needs a ruling.
+- N4: rotate or remove while a gitea claim is held. Refusing it blocks the human's remove during a run;
