@ -241,7 +241,20 @@ Auth chain resolution
**TODO**: If an auth check fails, or if we get told something we accepted
should have been rejected, we need to try and determine who is right.
Both should inform the other of what they think the current auth chain is. If
either are missing auth events that they know are valid (through authorization
and state resolution) they process the missing events as usual.
If either side notice that the other has accepted an auth events we think
should be rejected (for reasons *not* in their auth chain), that server should
inform the other with suitable proof.
The proofs can be:
- An *event chain* that shows an auth event is *not* an ancestor of the event.
- Given an event (and event chain?) showing that authorization had been revoked.
State Resolution
