+Each signed cookie includes an opaque session identifier whose hash and expiry are
+kept in the SQLite session registry. Keep that registry on persistent, writable
+storage shared by all dashboard workers. Sign-out revokes only the current session
+before clearing browser state, so a copied cookie cannot be replayed afterward;
+other signed-in devices remain active. Deploying this version invalidates older
+cookies that do not contain a registered identifier, so operators must sign in once
+again. Registry read or write failures return a sanitized HTTP 503 before Gitea is
+contacted.
+
 Terminate TLS at the trusted reverse proxy: session cookies are deliberately
 `Secure`, `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Strict`, and scoped to the deployment subpath.
 Use **Sign out & clear this device** on shared devices; it clears Stackchain's
