ERROR_LOG_CLIENT_ALREADY_REGISTERED

The CLFS management client has already been registered

A managed CLFS client registers callbacks and receives a client cookie used by later management routines. Registration establishes management state for log growth and tail-advance handling. This error points to duplicate registration of the same client state, not to multiple independent clients in general; Microsoft documents that more than one client can register with a log stream.

Trace registration ownership and retain the client cookie returned by the first successful call. Startup retry code should distinguish an incomplete registration attempt from a completed one, and component reload paths must deregister the old client before constructing replacement state. Because callbacks can be invoked as soon as registration occurs, protect the transition carefully: setting a global "registered" flag only after lengthy initialization can leave a window where a second thread registers again.
