After sign-out retains an encrypted local mirror but clears its unlock credentials, signing in and entering a valid E2EE password can leave the App on “Unlocking”. The graph has attached successfully, but Application waits for startup Ready to finish the submission. Ready waits for Timeline's first-appearance acknowledgement, while the pending password screen prevents Timeline from mounting.

Finish the submission when the same account/graph generations and selected graph report an attached mirror: local access is available, restoration has ended, and first presentation is pending. Local availability alone and command admission do not count as success. Keep the scoped Timeline appearance acknowledgement and existing password-error, failure, and scope-replacement handling.

Validation on head 22b87bca2aa83fd6b2c67ec10b1b53b4a7394e10:

• Two new regressions execute Application's existing public mounted hooks, covering manager-first and graph-first notifications. Both fail before the production fix and pass afterward; they also verify that local availability alone stays pending and that native appearance still sends the current scoped acknowledgement.
• Full Application suite: 144 passed. Full sync suite: 303 passed, including existing late E2EE completion/scope fencing and protocol tests. Startup tests passed.
• Independent read-only source review: no findings.
• The exact fix was installed as an update to the isolated Journal Real Unlock App on an iPhone 13 Simulator (iOS 26.1), preserving its local graph data. The user entered their own credentials and confirmed the real-service sign-out → sign-in → encrypted graph → E2EE password path now succeeds. Independent read-only checks confirmed the selected encrypted mirror remains active with no recorded sync error. UI success is user-reported; no password or private graph content was captured.
• Simulator uses the previously selected experimental host-restamp route with cross_abi_validated=false; this is not iPhoneOS ABI acceptance.

Scope is the existing-mirror unlock presentation cycle, its regressions, and the repository decision record.
