…der (LAB-557) GET 200s carry the entry's remaining freshness in whole seconds (server-clock delta; 0 on stale-window responses; omitted for no-expiry entries and by pre-signal servers) so SDK local caches can bound L1 backfill to min(local_ttl, fresh_for) instead of restarting the freshness clock at time-of-read. Additive and backward compatible; not emitted on HEAD. Re-serving tiers must decay or omit — never replay an undecayed value beyond their documented coherence window. Origin: CodeRabbit outside-diff finding on cachekit-py#233.

…reshness bound (LAB-2531) CodeRabbit (PR #51): X-CacheKit-Fresh-For reports remaining freshness (fresh_until), not remaining eviction time (evict_at), so an L1 with client-side SWR could serve its copy as locally-stale past the server's evict_at — contradicting the Reading-a-stale-entry bound. Close the gap by prohibiting any local service past fresh_for (and any backfill at fresh_for = 0): stale service is the server's job, which owns the stale window through evict_at. A remaining-eviction signal is deliberately not added — it would let clients replicate the stale window invisibly to server-side revalidation and metering.
…el review (LAB-2531) Expert-panel follow-up to the fresh_for hard-service-bound rule: - Reading-a-stale-entry: stale-flagged responses MUST NOT be backfilled at all (not merely 'not as fresh'), with or without Fresh-For — closes the backfill-as-locally-stale reading against Freshness-only servers. - Edge tiers MUST emit Fresh-For: 0 when remaining freshness is unknown, never omit — omission reads as 'no freshness bound' and silently restores the unbounded backfill this header exists to kill. - Header absence licenses fresh service only; local stale service of server-backed entries is prohibited unconditionally. - HEAD MUST NOT create/refresh/extend any local entry's service bound. - Value grammar: non-ASCII-digit or > 2,592,000 (30-day cap) treated as 0, same as unparseable/negative. - Documented revocation propagation: an issued fresh_for is a snapshot; DELETE/PATCH-shorten reaches L1s only within the largest outstanding fresh_for — secure caches size TTL to revocation tolerance. Also disambiguated that serving server-returned stale bytes per Reading-a-stale-entry is unaffected (only the local copy is governed), and cut the clause restating the section preamble.

# Conflicts: # CHANGELOG.md
…, mandate Cache-Control: no-store (LAB-2531) Blockers: the deployment-specific '<=5 s' coherence figure contradicted the deployed tiers (L0 5 s + colo 5 s compose to ~10 s, colo hits re-stamp a full undecayed L0 TTL) — replaced with the general rule that coherence windows compound across composed tiers that re-stamp rather than decay. And the spec's first contemplation of intermediary caches had no HTTP cache directives while the cache key carries no tenant: byte-identical URLs across tenants make RFC 9111 heuristic caching a cross-tenant read — servers MUST now emit Cache-Control: no-store on every response, and CacheKit-operated tiers MUST partition internal caches by tenant. Majors: fresh + Fresh-For: 0 documented as legal (final sub-second floors to 0); dead 'no expiry' emission branch removed (TTL is mandatory, so the branch failed open into pre-signal legacy behavior); local deadlines SHOULD use a suspend-counting clock (guidance, not wire contract).

… error (LAB-2531) The previous sentence claimed revocation reaches L1s within 'at most the largest outstanding fresh_for' — an absolute bound contradicted two bullets earlier (transit overstates remaining freshness) and one bullet earlier (suspend-blind clocks serve past the deadline). A GET already in flight when the DELETE lands is backfilled on arrival and served for its full local bound, so the true bound is the largest applied local bound plus transit plus clock error. Take CodeRabbit's wording, name the in-flight mechanism explicitly.

| - An unparseable or negative value MUST be treated as `0` (do not extend local service — the conservative action, mirroring the unrecognized-`X-CacheKit-Freshness` → `stale` rule). The same applies to any value that is not a plain ASCII-digit integer, or that exceeds 2,592,000 (the [30-day TTL cap](#put-v1cachekey) makes larger values protocol-impossible — a buggy or misconfigured tier, not a real bound). | ||
| - Network transit slightly overstates remaining freshness at the client (the value was computed at response time). This is accepted: the error is bounded by transit latency, the same class HTTP `Age` handling tolerates, and is negligible against whole-second granularity. | ||
| - The local deadline SHOULD be measured against a clock that keeps counting across system suspend (wall-clock anchored, or a `CLOCK_BOOTTIME`-class monotonic source): a suspend-blind monotonic clock stops while the host sleeps and serves past the bound after resume. This is implementation guidance, not wire contract — the same clock discipline applies to all local TTL accounting. | ||
| - An issued `fresh_for` is a snapshot, not a lease the server can recall: a later `DELETE`, or a fresh-window `PATCH /ttl` that shortens the entry, does not reach copies already backfilled — remote local caches compliantly serve until their bounded lifetime expires. Revocation propagation is therefore bounded by the largest locally applied service bound, plus in-flight response transit and clock or suspend error — a `GET` response already in flight when the `DELETE` lands is still backfilled on arrival and served for its full local bound. Security-sensitive caches MUST size TTL (and local TTL) to their revocation tolerance, or version their keys (see the invalidation-race note in [Semantics notes](#semantics-notes)). |

Include serving-tier coherence windows in the revocation bound.
Line 108 permits composed serving tiers to compound coherence windows when a tier re-stamps a value. A client can receive an already-cached response from such a tier after the origin DELETE, then backfill it for the emitted local bound. This response was not in flight when the deletion occurred.
Line 119 includes only the local bound, in-flight transit, and clock or suspend error. Add the applicable serving-path coherence-window sum. Otherwise the TTL guidance for security-sensitive caches can understate revocation exposure.
