    /// credential to the claimed sender, and that credential only exists once

    ///
    /// Because the trigger cannot be authenticated, the mitigation is that
    /// acting on it is **harmless**, not that it is trusted:
    /// - `SessionManager::decrypt_message` requires the envelope to name the

    ///   cannot be aimed at arbitrary peers, and `rekey_due_at` cannot be grown
    ///   with attacker-chosen keys.
    /// - [`REKEY_INTERVAL_SECS`] bounds this to one re-key per peer per window.
    /// - The heal destroys nothing: queued plaintext survives a reset (it seals
    ///   at flush time against the rebuilt session), and Tier 2 re-seals
    ///   in-flight resends.
    /// - Each re-key emits `SecurityWarningCode::SessionRekeyTriggered`, so a
    ///   sustained rate — the signature of injected frames rather than a real
