The width of the retained app-payload window: an MLS application message is
inside the window iff reference_tip_epoch - message_epoch <= this
(retained-history.md "App-payload retention"). Messages outside it expire
and MUST NOT count as convergence witnesses.
How far back from the current tip a branch MAY fork and stay eligible.
Maximum commit-depth boost a branch MAY receive from witness quorum.
The pinned convergence-policy profile this set of constants names
(convergence.md). Not a wire field — it identifies the profile; profile
1 is the values in DEFAULT_CONVERGENCE_POLICY.
The minimum quiescent time (ms) without new convergence-relevant input
before a convergence pass MAY be treated as settled and queued outbound work
released (convergence.md). Carried for completeness; the settle-window
state machine itself (B5) is not yet wired.
Number of branch epochs that MUST meet sender quorum.
Distinct senders needed for one branch epoch to count toward witness quorum.
The signed convergence policy governing branch selection for a group.
