 customer creation, runtime, shared database source and Flutter error feedback.
 Delivery: [PR #47](https://git.sendico.io/tech/sxchnge/pulls/47), targeting `main`.
 
+## Registration response correction
+
+Follow-up [#57](https://git.sendico.io/tech/sxchnge/issues/57), branch
+`identity-facts-57`, corrects the registration success status to HTTP 201 Created.
+Sendico's individual creation handler returns 201; the original adapter and test
+fixture incorrectly required 200. A successful registration therefore left a
+pending customer with an unresolved claim and `signup_attention_required`.
+The adapter now checks the exact status per operation before validating receipts:
+201 for registration and 200 for Facts intake. Other statuses, including other
+2xx responses, remain failures. Malformed receipts and uncertain registrations
+still require the existing recovery rules.
+
+On 2026-10-17, the affected local signup was reconciled using its registration
+correlation in Sendico logs and an authenticated organization-scoped individual
+GET. A conditional majority write bound that confirmed individual to the existing
+local claim, preserving the saved facts, namespace and registration request.
+The rebuilt BFF resumed the public activation-resend flow: Facts intake returned
+a persisted receipt and the endpoint returned 202 after activation-email queue
+acceptance. No replacement individual was registered. The account remains
+pending until the customer confirms the email; queue acceptance does not prove
+inbox delivery.
+
+Recovery also exposed a notification worker lifetime issue: its NATS subscription
+retained the 20-second startup context and was automatically unsubscribed after
+that deadline. Resource provisioning now has its own bounded context, while the
+subscription follows the service lifetime and closes at shutdown. A regression
+test checks that releasing provisioning leaves the subscription context active,
+and service cancellation still ends it.
+
+The rebuilt worker processed the queued activation message. The live Resend
+provider rejected it with `provider_authentication_failed` (HTTP 401 or 403),
+leaving delivery in `failed` after one attempt. The configured API key/sender
+authorization must be corrected before sending another activation email. Rotate
+the credential securely with `make email`, wait for Vault Agent to refresh it,
+restart notifications so it reloads its environment, then use activation resend
+with a new idempotency key. Do not replay the failed notification as a success or
+mark the customer active on their behalf.
+
+Validation passed: `GOFLAGS=-p=2 make test` (all backend race tests and canonical
+frontend suites), `make lint-backend`, focused provider/identity race tests and
+notification bus/app race tests. The HTTP 201 regression first failed against the
+old adapter and passed after correction. An earlier full run hit a database
+credential-rotation timing failure at `rotation_test.go:249` during the Docker
+build; the isolated race-test retry and both subsequent full runs passed.
+Local BFF and notifications images were rebuilt with fresh upstream manifests
+and resolved stable digest pins; the BFF, session sidecar and notifications
+services are healthy. NATS shows the worker still waiting for deliveries beyond
+the startup deadline, with no pending or unacknowledged jobs. Live email delivery
+is blocked by provider authorization as described above. No security scans were
+requested or run. Unrelated notifications runtime settings are excluded from
+the task commits.
