-### Code Conventions
-
-**`#[must_use]` Attribute:**
-Apply the `#[must_use]` attribute to return types of functions where the return value is critical and should not be accidentally ignored. This is commonly used for:
-
- Methods that return `bool` indicating success/failure or validation state
- Any function where ignoring the return value indicates a logic error
-
-Do not apply `#[must_use]` redundantly to items (types or functions) that are already annotated with `#[must_use]`.
-
-Example:
-
-```rust
-#[must_use]
-pub fn verify(&self, nonce: i32, context: &[u8], signature: &Signature) -> bool {
-    // verification logic
-}
-```
-
-This forces callers to either use the return value or explicitly ignore it with `let _ = ...;`, preventing silent failures.
-
 ## User Agent (Flutter + Rinf at `useragent/`)

 The Flutter app uses [Rinf](https://rinf.cunarist.org) to call Rust code. The Rust logic lives in `useragent/native/hub/` as a separate crate that uses `arbiter-useragent` for the gRPC client.

-Auth challenges are generated from fresh random bytes plus a timestamp. They are signed as the canonical challenge payload and are not persisted in `program_client`.
+### Known Issue: Concurrent Registration Race (TOCTOU)
+
+Two connections presenting the same previously-unknown public key can race through the approval flow simultaneously:
+
+1. Both check the DB → neither is registered.
+2. Both request approval from user agents → both receive approval.
+3. Both `INSERT` the client record → the second insert silently overwrites the first, resetting the nonce.
+
+This means the first connection's nonce is invalidated by the second, causing its challenge verification to fail. A fix requires either serialising new-client registration (e.g. an in-memory lock keyed on pubkey) or replacing the separate check + insert with an `INSERT OR IGNORE` / upsert guarded by a unique constraint on `public_key`.
+
+### Nonce Semantics
+
+The `program_client.nonce` column stores the **next usable nonce** — i.e. it is always one ahead of the nonce last issued in a challenge.
+
+- **New client:** inserted with `nonce = 1`; the first challenge is issued with `nonce = 0`.
+- **Existing client:** the current DB value is read and used as the challenge nonce, then immediately incremented within the same exclusive transaction, preventing replay.
