""" Ordering guards for the SPA's connect() flow. These are source-level checks, which is not how one would normally test behaviour. They exist because a specific class of bug shipped to a live browser twice and no other test could see it: `connect()` is a long sequence in which later steps read values earlier steps set, and the Python end-to-end client in QE/deploy/ cannot catch a mistake there — it is a different implementation, written in the right order by construction, so it passes while the browser fails. Concretely: join_request signs a transcript over the node key and the node nonce, and runs *before* the GEK proof, because a first-time member has no GEK to prove. Both values were being read further down, next to the proof that also uses them, so every invited member hit "Handshake incomplete — reconnect and retry". If you restructure connect(), these will fail. Check the invariant still holds — that nothing reads a value assigned later — and then move the markers.
