The audit mirror is written after the registry commits, so a redispatched
record (attempt 2, pending) can sit next to attempt 1's completed
status.json, and a failed mirror leaves it there. The fallback validated the
token and attempt against the record, which say nothing about the audit
status's provenance, and closed attempt 2 with attempt 1's completion
(review P1, Issue #57). A versioned record (transition_seq) now takes the
audit status only when its transition_seq is at least as new; an audit
status without a sequence cannot prove which attempt it describes and is
ignored by a versioned record. An unversioned record (never transitioned,
or MAM_ENGINE_CAS=0) and a missing record keep the old rule.
Regressions: the redispatch/flush interval, the failed-mirror leftover, the
unversioned audit status, a newer audit-only terminal, and conflict
refusals and legacy claims next to a moved registry.
