Every Redis key and channel Pad uses was flat — pad:events:, pad:event_seq, pad:watchevents*, pad:session:* — so two Pad installations pointed at one Redis endpoint cross-feed each other's notifications and merge each other's session-presence registries. Different logical DB numbers do not help: Redis pub/sub is not namespaced by DB at all. The exposure is narrow but real. Delivery is filtered per caller on user id, and user ids are per-installation UUIDs, so cross-feed needs the same id in both installations — a CLONED database, such as a staging environment restored from a production dump. For that case it is a genuine cross-tenant leak: foreign sessions listed in the picker, and a private push deliverable across installations. Fixed the way internal/watchevents' existing ruling demanded: not by one package growing a prefix the others lack, but through internal/redisns — one value parsed in cmd/pad/cmd_server.go and passed into all three constructors. The three cannot drift because there is nothing to drift from, and the operator rule is stateable in one sentence for every keyspace. PAD_REDIS_NAMESPACE defaults to empty, which reproduces the historical names byte for byte, so an existing deployment keeps addressing its own replay buffers, counters and presence entries across the upgrade. Tests assert both directions per keyspace — present under the namespace AND absent under the historical names — because an implementation that wrote both would still cross-feed while passing a one-directional test. Namespaces are validated at startup, and a colon is rejected specifically: it is Pad's own separator, so namespace "a:events" would build pad:a:events:<ws> and collide with installation "a"'s channel — reintroducing the cross-feed through the mechanism meant to fix it. Names are built through a function rather than assembled from a literal at each site, and redisns' doc says why: "pad:" also begins Pad's OAuth SCOPE values (pad:read / pad:write / pad:admin) in four files, so a grep-driven prefix sweep would break authorization. Not included, deliberately: hash tags for Redis Cluster. BUG-2724's trail recommended shipping them alongside on cost-sharing grounds; that premise is falsified by publishScript, which spans four keys in one EVAL and fails CROSSSLOT exactly as presence's MGET does. There is no cheap half, and no cluster client here to exercise tagged keys against, so they would ship untested by construction. Cluster stays documented as unsupported and the future unit is named on the trail. Renaming is a CUTOVER for the buses (the seq and epoch keys carry Last-Event-ID meaning, so connected clients resync) and free for presence (90s TTL). Both stated in docs/deployment.md and at the constructors. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JVDBKbgn3Xt7ndW1YoYd8X
