Revoking a device or removing a member opens a chat epoch, announced to
everyone connected to the group, the asker included. Sent inside the
handler, the asker's copy was stamped with its request's id and arrived as
the answer to device_revoke, before the real one. It now leaves outside the
reply context.

Both sides landed a breaking MNP change and both called it 2.0, which is right:
the sealed upload, the removal of `stream_seg` and mandatory chat encryption
share one flag day. They are recorded as one version in `__init__.py` rather
than as a race between two.

The resolutions that were decisions rather than mechanics:

* **`MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED` moves to "2.0".** The sealed upload alone was a
  *confined* break — a 1.x peer could still connect, browse, download, stream
  and chat, with only its uploads refused by `upload_not_sealed` — so the floor
  deliberately stayed at "1.0". Mandatory chat encryption ends that
  confinement: a 1.x peer can neither produce a sealed chat message nor read
  one, so it would connect, look fine, and be unable to say anything. Refusing
  it at the handshake is the honest form. The per-message `upload_not_sealed`
  path is untouched and still right if the floor is ever lowered.
* **`sendChat` throws on an `error` reply**, from origin, applied to the sealed
  send. It matters more after this change, not less: the node now refuses a
  stale epoch, a malformed envelope and a device claim that is not the
  connection's own, so there are three new ways for a message to be rejected
  and none of them may look like a message that was sent.
* **`req_id` supersedes the per-type routing** this branch added for
  `chat_keys_resp` and `device_hello_ack`. Both blocks are kept beside the
  existing `chat_hist_resp` one, for the same stated reason — a node too old to
  stamp — and their comments no longer claim to be the mechanism that closes
  the class. `req_id` is.
* **`chat_send_probe.py` is rebuilt on origin's structure**, not beside it: two
  scenarios, a stub that stamps `req_id`, `music_meta_req` as the older pending
  request. The encrypted path is layered on — a real Ed25519 device key
  generated in the page, and a `chat_keys_resp` sealed by the shipped Python,
  because a payload the page built itself would prove only that the page agrees
  with the page.
* **`test_reply_correlation.py` now sends a sealed message.** Its subject is
  which of the two messages leaving that handler carries the id; plaintext chat
  was only the fixture, and the node refuses one now.
* `groupbox` keeps both new purposes (`upload`, `chat_keys`); `protocol.py`
  keeps origin's removal of `STREAM_SEGMENT` and this branch's correction of
  the "Double Ratchet message" comment on `CHAT_MESSAGE`, which was wrong when
  it was written and is wrong differently now.

Full suite on the merged tree: 1993 passed, 11 failed — the same 11 that fail
on a pristine checkout (2 Windows service tests, 1 apps-enabled policy, 7
transcode tests that pass in isolation, and the WebRTC invite test that hangs
on its own).

<title>fix(mnp): give a reply an id, so it stops being routed by luck</title>

MNP carried no correlation id. A reply named its own type and nothing
else, so a client with more than one request in flight worked out which
one a message answered from the message itself — and for the replies
that name nothing it could not. `_dispatch` fell through to matching by
arrival order, which is a guess. `_sendAndWait` had the right value all
along: it keys `_pending` by `this._seqId++` and never put it on the
wire.

The guess fails asymmetrically, which is why it hid. The victim is not
the request that was answered wrongly — it is the unrelated one that now
waits out its own 30s timeout for a reply already delivered elsewhere.
Live on 2026-09-06: five `music_meta_req` sat pending for over 100
seconds behind a failing MusicBrainz, and a `device_list_result` was
handed to one of them. The composer is disabled while a send is in
flight, so a chat message whose reply went astray the same way left the
Chat tab looking frozen for thirty seconds, then unfroze on its own.

The `ack` half of this was fixed on 2026-08-30 by matching on request
type. That closed the instance and left the class open: a refusal has no
type to match on either, and `_dispatch_message`'s catch-all answers
every unforeseen failure with `{"type": "error", "detail": "Request
failed"}` — 238 of this module's 240 error sends name nothing at all.

`req_id` now rides on the request and comes back on the reply. On the
node it is published for the whole handler in a ContextVar and stamped
by `_send`: a parameter would have meant threading an argument through
all 240 send sites, and asyncio copies the context into a task, so a
handler that `_spawn`s its real work still answers under the right id.
It is never stamped on a broadcast — those answer nothing, and the
owner check in `_send` is what keeps a chat broadcast or an index push
from reaching another peer looking like a reply.

On the client, `_dispatch` resolves on `req_id` first and the
arrival-order fallback is gone the moment a node proves it stamps
(`_correlates`, armed by the handshake's own reply). The fallback stays
for an MNP 1.0 node, unchanged and no wider: there it is the only thing
there is, and removing it would leave device_list_result, join_result
and the handshake replies reaching nobody.

Two things fall out. `sendChat` refuses an `error` reply like every
other request in the file — it returned it as success, which did not
matter while a refusal reached the wrong caller anyway and would now
show a rejected message as sent. And `_group_ctx` uses `.get`: a reload
pops a removed group while sessions connected to it are open, and every
request they had left raised KeyError into that same catch-all.

Sealed index messages are the one exception to the fast path. They
cannot be handed over until they are opened, which is asynchronous while
`_dispatch` is not — resolving on the id alone gave `fetchIndex` the
envelope and skipped `onIndexSync` entirely. Caught by extending
`index_seal_probe.mjs` to stamp a reply the way a current node does,
after the hub suite passed over it: the probe built its own frames and
had never seen one.

Tests, all failing before and passing after: `test_chat_send.py` drives
the real ChatPanel over the real transport for both shapes of reply with
an older request pending (3 of its 6 are new, and the 3 for `ack` pass
either way, so it discriminates); `test_reply_correlation.py` pins the
node's half — the refusals that name nothing else, the broadcast that
must not be stamped, and a late reply from a spawned task answering
under its own id rather than the most recent request's.

Full suite: 1897 passed, same 11 pre-existing failures as before.

QUIC keeps its own dispatch and is not stamped. It is disabled by
default and no browser request reaches it, but the asymmetry is real.
