read-path-verification-is-improving

Status: IN

Two read-path verification mechanisms were added — S3 ETag integrity checking (detect corruption on read) and news feed cache rebuild (repair lost cache state) — narrowing the gap between the read path's growing responsibility and its verification coverage, though the broader pattern persists for KV read-repair, lazy evaluation, and metadata-as-deletion in other systems.

Justifications

Depends on (SL): s3-etag-verified-on-read, news-feed-cache-is-rebuildable, read-path-responsibility-exceeds-verification
