## Exact Symptom

See the observed Codex queries below.

## Diagnosis

The local schema/query is valid, but upgrade path, restart behavior, replication syntax, or background operations changed in the server release.

## Fix

```
Verifier checks durability, restart, and operational safety rather than a one-shot query. Check operational state and security, not a compatibility switch that weakens the server.
```

## Avoid

- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
