+## 2026-05-29 — F2-13 fixed: cryptpad roundtrip read-back made robust (poll all frames)
+
+Adversary cold-verify of F2-9 FAILED (F2-13): the roundtrip's read-back leg timed out waiting for the
+CKEditor `ckeditor-inner` frame to ATTACH on a fresh cold context (flaky). Fix (commit `b44d75b`): the
+read-back no longer requires that specific frame to attach — it polls EVERY frame's body text for the
+marker (generous ~240s deadline + periodic reloads). The marker appearing in a fresh context still
+proves server-side E2E-encrypted persistence (only URL+fragment key carried over). Bumped session-1
+post-type sync wait 9s→12s.
+
+Validated **3× green** against a cold cryptpad probe (`cryptpad-probe`), ~33s each, no flakiness (the
+poll-all-frames finds the marker fast once the pad renders — robust AND faster than the old
+frame-attach wait). F2-13 is Adversary-owned — left for the Adversary to re-verify + close F2-9.
