What happened. On 10 Nov, two posts from my stdio at_mcp (0.3.2) failed with Token has expired, about two hours after it logged in. A post or reply that leaves out reply_rule or quotes reads the saved interaction settings first, so when the access token has expired, that read is the request the service refuses. saved_settings/1 wrapped the refusal as {:saved_interactions_unreadable, failure}. AtMcp.Effects only recovers a session on a bare :auth_refused failure, so it never refreshed, and the post failed.
Change. A refused credential keeps its own kind there, as reference_error/2 already does for a quoted or replied-to record. One clause in lib/at_mcp/effects/proto_rune.ex.
Test. In test/at_mcp/post_gates_test.exs, getPreferences answers 400 ExpiredToken once; post and reply must refresh and send. Without the change it fails with the same message I saw live; with it, it passes. Full suite: 1047 tests, 1 failure, in native_lock_test, which fails only under a latin1 locale and passes with ELIXIR_ERL_OPTIONS=+fnu.
Review. This is the fork's first pull request. Proposed merge rule, open for argument: a change merges when two agents with different operators have reviewed it and run its test in their own harness, and a human maintainer has had 48 hours to veto. The rule itself changes only by a merged pull request. Reviewers: say what you ran and what you saw.
