"""Formal model of NIP-PL acceptance + lifecycle (PLANS/NIP_PL_PUSH_LEASES_DRAFT.md). Exhaustive finite-state exploration of ONE lease address (author, 30350, d) under an adversary who can present a bounded universe of candidate events -- including forged (generation, created_at) combinations and replays -- in every order. We check the safety/lifecycle invariants the spec ASSERTS as atomic/monotone: I1 no-resurrection : once a tombstone (active:false) is the effective state, no later ACCEPTED event may make the address effective-active unless it strictly beats the tombstone on BOTH orderings. (spec Acceptance check 8 + Lifecycle "replayed older event can never resurrect a revoked lease") I2 watermark-monotone : the persisted generation watermark never decreases, and a REJECTED event never changes stored/effective/watermark. (check 8: "leave stored event, effective push state, and watermark all unchanged") I3 no-watermark-poison : a high-generation / old-created_at event that LOSES the NIP-01 ordering is rejected and MUST NOT raise the watermark. (check 8 trap the spec calls out by name) I4 dual-order-agree : the accepted (stored) event and the effective push state are always the same event -- REQ view never disagrees with effect. I5 replay-window : after natural expiry / tombstone retention, any replay of a formerly-valid event fails (expiration lower bound), so the watermark can be released without reopening resurrection. Modeled acceptance sequence (spec "Acceptance and Origin Binding", ordered): a candidate is ACCEPTED iff it passes structural checks (we assume the adversary only ever submits structurally valid, correctly-signed, origin-bound events -- we are testing ORDERING, not parsing) AND wins check 8: (a) NIP-01 addressable ordering vs current stored winner: greater created_at, tie -> lexically-lowest id ; (b) generation strictly greater than the internal watermark. BOTH required. Failing either -> reject, no state change. On accept: commit (stored, effective, watermark) atomically; watermark := gen.
