Summary

NIP-FI disconnects currently deny an entire key and close every matching session. A delayed disconnect can therefore interrupt fresh authorization for the same agent after a workspace transfer.

Propose an optional authorization-withdrawal profile that preserves the agent key. A signed command withdraws agent assertions issued before a cutoff; fresh destination authorization uses a later issuance time. The draft defines durable enforcement, completion across serving processes, key-wide denial precedence, compatibility fallback, and safe compaction and rollback.

This PR changes the specification only. It does not implement or enable the profile. Enforce mode and validation of every protected access surface are prerequisites. Issuers must serialize issuance and reconcile pending disconnects. Retained-data policy, treatment of in-flight work, removal policy and recovery of already-retired keys remain separate decisions.

Testing

Independent review covered the normative draft and its compaction/rollback revision; both reported findings were resolved. Checked the diff, proposal anchor and code fences, and verified that the patch applies against baseline 30e1fa47fb9a67cbc408cfcee83dcf280ab49595. The reviewed specification SHA-256 is b5a410bb58850bd9e67e13034a22478dd3ba6c3dc0597ab00bbd7816456f5fc2.

No runtime testing: this is a proposed protocol contract, with no implementation changes.
