Map each KID to its fragments from the ciphertext moov/moof (tenc, seig, ISM duration clock) and decode up to three windows per KID that never cross into another KID, so a clear lead cannot hide a wrong key and only the failing KID is flagged. Decode every frame (wrong-key HEVC keyframes decode clean), re-judge mid-GOP starts on keyframes, time out every FFmpeg run, and refuse to store a flagged pair again in SQLite.
Verify a vault-sourced key with an FFmpeg decode after decryption. On failure flag the KID:KEY locally with its source, restore the ciphertext, and retry through the remaining vaults and then the CDM.
Batch and per-track remote licences read the vaults but never wrote back, so a --remote or import run kept nothing. Vault hits now replicate to the other vaults, and the server branch resolves keys under drm_lock like the local path.
Vaults.add_key and add_keys now push to every vault at the same time, so one unreachable vault costs its own timeout instead of the sum. MySQL defaults connect_timeout to vault_timeout.
Try one InsertKeys call per 500 content keys, falling back to per-key InsertKey only when the server answers 404; kv copy/sync chunk 500 for json mode.
