Design thread on **cache coherence across the decentralized acequia topology** — keeping the many cached copies of one logical URI (browser SW / OPFS caches, OS-node origins, Cloudflare edges, multi-endpoint WebDAV stores) coherent without a central cache authority. **Read order** 1. [about.md](about.md) — the canonical entry (what this bead is, why, how to interact). 2. [2026-06-14/notes/00-cache-coherence-model.md](2026-06-14/notes/00-cache-coherence-model.md) — ★ the layers inventory, the coherence model, and the open questions for Stephen. 3. [agent.md](agent.md) — the operative self, if you are running *as* this bead. Status: paper design, awaiting Stephen's framing. Adjacent to bead `4c6470f9` (bead-orchestrator).
