STATUS_LOG_CLIENT_ALREADY_REGISTERED

STATUS_LOG_CLIENT_ALREADY_REGISTERED means the caller attempted to register a managed CLFS client that the stream already recognizes. Managed registration is part of the cooperation model used for full-log handling and tail advancement, not a per-operation permission token.

A duplicate registration often signals lifecycle confusion: a retry path may have re-ran initialization after a partial success, or two components may be using the same identity without coordinating ownership. Re-registering until success can hide that design error.

What to inspect

  • Track the client identity, stream, registration handle, and owner across initialization and recovery paths.
  • Make registration idempotent only when the component can prove that the existing registration belongs to its current lifecycle.
  • Unregister through the owner that created the managed client; do not drop a shared registration because another component observed a duplicate.
