• Failed reaction delivery reconnects the affected tab to refresh the discussion.
• Inbox previews preserve special characters and only show an ellipsis when text is shortened.

Trusted ingress must overwrite that single-address header or append the actual peer to the forwarded chain. Invalid or missing policy uses shared transport-peer limits and logs a warning.
