Go half of the licensing-policy client work from the v6 upgrade sweep
(license findings 5 and 6); the copy and docs landed in 3a51429a5 and
the license-server side lands in pulse-pro.
The grant refresh loop treated every HTTP 401 as revocation and wiped
the licence and activation file immediately, but the server returns 401
for token-not-found and token-expired as well as revocation, so a
single spurious 401 dropped a paying customer to Community until a
successful re-exchange. Activation state is now cleared only when the
401 carries an explicit revocation code (TOKEN_REVOKED,
INSTALLATION_REVOKED, LICENSE_REVOKED); any other 401 keeps the licence
and retries, letting the grant's 72h expiry plus the 7-day grace window
govern degradation. The bump_license_version immediate-refresh path in
the revocation poller had the same any-401 wipe and gets the same
guard.
ClassifyLegacyExchangeError now maps a 409 MAX_INSTALLATIONS exchange
error to failed/exchange_installation_limit with the
free_installation_slot action instead of the retryable
pending/exchange_conflict state, since retrying can never succeed until
a slot is freed server-side. Other 409s keep the pending conflict
semantics.
