+If an active session expires, the first authenticated API rejection replaces the
+dashboard with sign-in and explains that private drafts remain on the device; signing
+in again resumes account-bound queued delivery. Expiry recovery does not clear offline
+state. A selectively or globally revoked device instead receives a bounded revocation
+reason: on its next server contact, Stackchain clears its owned local/session storage,
+private outbox database, and dashboard caches before enabling sign-in. Revocation
+blocks server access immediately, but no web application can erase a device that
+remains offline forever. **Sign out & clear this device** revokes only the current
 session before clearing browser state, so a copied cookie cannot be replayed
 afterward; other signed-in devices remain active. **Sign out all devices** is a
 separately confirmed lost-device safety action that atomically revokes every existing
