Device lifecycle policy
Control plane
Versioned, leased device policy covering active, suspended, quarantined, and revoked states, with queue-delivery permission as an explicit and independent control.
What it means for a deployment:
- Credential rotation runs with a bounded overlap and durable acknowledgement, then retires the previous credential — no maintenance window required.
- A recommended application version warns; a minimum application version blocks. Version floors are now a control you set rather than a request.
- An activated device cannot be reassigned in place. Moving a verifier to a different location requires revoke and reprovision.
- A detected reboot, or an unavailable boot counter, makes a cached offline lease clock-untrusted and blocks new sessions until authenticated policy refresh. This is a conservative rule about reboot ambiguity, not a claim of secure local time.
