INVALID_CURRENT_PASSWORD

HTTP 401

Something about the request must change

Re-authentication failed: the current password is wrong.

How to fix it (contract guidance)

Re-prompt the user for the current password.

Observed recovery

Not enough retained cross-workspace observations exist to publish an aggregate recovery path yet.

Publication requires at least 3 distinct workspaces. This is withheld data, not evidence that no recovery happened.
