Add a terminal reconciliation path for PointPlaceholderFence.uncertain.

After settleTransfer calls drainCache(target), a RuntimeException reaches the finally block while known is still false. finishPointPublication therefore calls finishSharedPointDebit(..., false, ...) before settleWithConfirmation runs. This fences both affected users.

finish permanently preserves uncertain. A later successful mutation, verified refill, cache refresh, journal recovery, or PlaceHolders.reload() cannot clear it. The affected placeholders can therefore remain "..." for the lifetime of the current PlaceHolders instance. A plugin instance replacement can create a new fence, so “until JVM restart” is too absolute.

The reload fix is unsafe. Reload does not prove whether the original write committed. Clear uncertain only after journal recovery or another authoritative reconciliation establishes the terminal storage state. Then retain snapshotUnavailable and trigger a verified refill before publishing the refreshed balance.

Update PointPlaceholderFence’s uncertainty handling so a dedicated terminal
reconciliation path clears uncertain only after journal recovery or another
authoritative check establishes the final storage state; keep
snapshotUnavailable set and require a verified refill before publishing the
refreshed balance.

Keeping genuine transaction uncertainty fail closed. Current recovery results identify a player and column, but do not tie terminal evidence to the original uncertain operation; cache draining can also perform writes before journal settlement. A reload, unrelated successful mutation or snapshot read therefore cannot safely clear this latch. Safe reopening needs a separately scoped, operation-bound reconciliation path. The integration guide now explicitly documents the resulting availability limitation; no generic clear or automatic mutation retry is introduced.

@BenCodez Understood. Keep genuine transaction uncertainty fail closed. A reload, unrelated mutation, or snapshot read does not establish the original operation’s outcome.

The availability limitation remains, but a generic clear or automatic mutation retry would be unsafe. Operation-bound reconciliation belongs in a separate follow-up. This is an accepted limitation, not a completed fix for this finding.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for that reconciliation path?

Learning: Within repository "BenCodez/VotingPlugin", only for files matching one of ["VotingPlugin/src/main/java/com/bencodez/votingplugin/placeholders/PointPlaceholderFence.java"]: When reviewing changes to PointPlaceholderFence uncertainty handling, require genuine transaction uncertainty to remain fail closed. Do not accept a reload, unrelated successful mutation, or snapshot read as grounds to clear uncertainty or automatically retry the uncertain mutation. Any reopening path must use terminal evidence tied to the original uncertain operation.

# Maintainer and AI-agent guide

## Safe change checklist

- Exercise rejected task admission, accepted-but-cancelled work, shutdown, and failed storage using deterministic fakes/latches. Preserve pending/durable ownership where the operation promises recovery; otherwise expose an explicit failure. Never silently report an unperformed mutation as successful or treat scheduling as persistence.

You are interacting with an AI system.
