**Deterministic epoch-refresh driver (`refreshPeerEpochs()` in `utils/federationEpoch.ts`).** Selects every `active` peer whose `peer_instance_id IS NULL`, calls `fetchPeerEpoch(peer)` once each, and on a non-null result writes the epoch via `UPDATE ... SET peer_instance_id WHERE id = ? AND peer_instance_id IS NULL`. The trailing `IS NULL` guard makes it **populate-if-null only** — it can never overwrite a baseline another path (relay envelope, handshake) already established — and makes it **self-terminating**: once a peer's `peer_instance_id` is set, the `IS NULL` filter excludes it, so it is never fetched again. A `null` from `fetchPeerEpoch` (404 / bad-sig / network) is a benign `continue` with no error log-spam, retried next tick. Wired into the federation worker in two places: once at `startFederationWorkers()` startup and once at the end of `processHealthCheckTick()` (the existing 15-minute health-check tick), both as `refreshPeerEpochs().catch(() => {})`. This guarantees the trusted baseline is populated within one refresh cycle of an upgrade, independent of user/relay activity — the load-bearing populator that relay-only population cannot cover for idle peers.
### Reset Detection (`markPeerReset` — `utils/federationReset.ts`)
The epoch is a **detection signal only, never an authorization signal.** When a peer behind a known origin advertises an epoch that differs from the trusted baseline (`peer_instance_id`), the instance was wiped and a new incarnation stood up on the same domain. `markPeerReset(peerId, origin, deadEpoch, observedEpoch)` routes the peer for admin attention and snapshots the dead incarnation — but performs **NO rekey, NO tombstone, NO handle change, NO content deletion.** The actual data heal fires only later, from `onPeerActivated` after an admin-authenticated re-peer (design §6). Because detection grants no capability and destroys nothing, it is safe to fire on an unauthenticated signal: the worst a spoofed detection can do is flag a peer for admin review (admin-reversible nuisance).
In a single transaction, `markPeerReset`:
1. Sets the peer `status='needs_attention'`, `needs_attention_reason='peer_reset_detected'`, and `observed_peer_instance_id=observedEpoch`. **`peer_instance_id` (the trusted baseline) and `hmac_secret` are left untouched** — an unauthenticated observation never rekeys trust; the observed-but-untrusted epoch lives only in `observed_peer_instance_id`.
2. **Snapshots the dead incarnation:** sets `users.federation_heal_pending = 1` for every non-deleted user whose `home_instance` matches the origin. The match keys on `extractDomain(origin)` (bare domain, the canonical `home_instance` form) and defensively also matches the `https://`/`http://`-prefixed forms so any legacy full-URL straggler is caught (`homeInstanceMatch()`). Any stub created *after* detection (e.g. a friend-add reaching the new incarnation directly) is un-flagged and survives the heal.
3. **Journals the dead incarnation durably** by upserting a `federation_reset_events` row keyed by origin: `{ dead_epoch=deadEpoch, new_epoch=NULL, detected_at, resolved_at=NULL, stub_count, orphaned_account_count }`. `stub_count` counts flagged pure S2S stubs (`password_hash = '!federation-replicated'`); `orphaned_account_count` counts flagged real accounts. This row survives the peer-row deletion that Re-peer performs, preserving `dead_epoch` for the false-positive guard (design §6.1) and the admin surface.
4. After the transaction, broadcasts `federation_peers_changed` and `federation_peer_reset_detected {origin}` to admins.
**Idempotent / double-reset:** if an *unresolved* `federation_reset_events` row already exists for the origin (the peer reset again before an admin resolved the first), the original `dead_epoch` and `detected_at` are **preserved** (that is the incarnation whose users are already snapshotted) — only the summary counts are refreshed. `dead_epoch` is never overwritten on an unresolved row. A prior *resolved* reset starts a fresh journal entry.
**Detection sources (both wired in this feature):**
- **Inbound handshake** — `/peer/accept` landing on an `active`/`needs_attention` row (`routes/federation.ts`): before the idempotent-200 return, `if (reqInstanceId && existing.peerInstanceId && reqInstanceId !== existing.peerInstanceId) markPeerReset(...)`. The guard still returns 200 and **still does not rekey** — the anti-hijack property is preserved verbatim; detection is layered on top.
- **Reachability probe** — `probePeerReachable()` (`utils/federationRecovery.ts`) now parses `instanceId` from the `/api/instance/info` response (returning `{ reachable, instanceId }`; a missing/unparseable epoch is `null`, never an error). The shared decision helper `recoverOrDetectReset(peer, result)` — used by both the background recovery tick (`processRecoveryTick`) and the manual recheck endpoint — routes to `markPeerReset` (returning `'reset_detected'`) when the peer has a non-null `peer_instance_id` and the probed epoch differs, and **does NOT call `markPeerRecovered`**. Rationale: a genuinely reset peer's HMAC secret is desynced, so flipping it back to `active` via a reachability probe would resume relay against a dead secret. Only when the probed epoch matches the baseline (or the baseline is null / epoch unknown) does the normal recovery-to-active path run. The manual recheck endpoint returns `{ recovered: false, status: 'needs_attention' }` on `'reset_detected'`.
Legacy peers advertise no epoch (`instanceId` null), so detection requires a non-null observed epoch differing from a non-null stored baseline — legacy peers never trigger it, and the existing `auth_failures → needs_attention → manual Reset` path continues unchanged for them.

/**
* Detection-only reset routing. Invoked when a peer behind a known origin is
* observed to carry a DIFFERENT instance epoch than the trusted baseline
* (`federation_peers.peer_instance_id`) — i.e. the instance was wiped and a new
* incarnation stood up on the same domain.
*
* This routes the peer to `needs_attention` (reason `peer_reset_detected`),
* snapshots the dead incarnation's users (`federation_heal_pending = 1`), and
* journals the dead epoch durably in `federation_reset_events`. It then notifies
* admins.
*
* It performs **NO rekey, NO tombstone, NO handle change, NO content deletion**.
* The trusted baseline (`peer_instance_id`) and the `hmac_secret` are left
* untouched — the observed (but not yet trusted) epoch is recorded separately in
* `observed_peer_instance_id`. Trust re-establishment is admin-gated (§5) and
* the actual data heal fires only after an authenticated re-peer (§6). Because
* none of this grants capability or destroys content, it is safe to fire on an
* unauthenticated detection signal: the worst a spoofed detection can do is flag
* a peer for admin review.
*
* Idempotent: if an UNRESOLVED reset row already exists for the origin (the peer
* reset again before an admin resolved the first), the original `dead_epoch` and
* `detected_at` are preserved — that is the incarnation whose users are already
* snapshotted — and only the summary counts are refreshed.
*

* @param origin The peer origin (bare domain or full URL).
* @param deadEpoch The peer's trusted baseline epoch at detection time.
