F18-PN: Yes

Rationale

Architectural composition: Relationship Retention sections 6 and 10 define intermediary replicas and later forwarding while paths are unavailable; the comparative whitepaper continuity model explicitly permits non-contemporaneous connectivity. Applies to admitted reliable items with viable relationship and cryptographic state. General activation remains unavailable under RET-001.

Assessment method

Documentary analysis

Source context

Primary specification / selected profile

Outstanding qualification

Assign and implement RET-001 activation, then exercise staged contacts with no simultaneous end-to-end path. Verify retained-item reprotection, expiry, duplicate suppression and feedback. No cold first-contact or eventual-delivery guarantee is credited.
