A pass silently discarded targets promised by a previous identity. It counted them in a log line and returned only the survivors, so a host saw a target stop appearing in `outcomes` with nothing saying why. Raw account targets are exactly the ones that do not survive a rotation, and the surface has no way to list the ledger, so there was no way to notice or recover. `StatementRenewalReport` now carries the labels it dropped. The information was already in hand at the pruning site; only the count reached the caller. Labels come from one function shared with `resolve_target`, so a pruned entry reads the same as a renewed one, and it derives without an active session because pruning is decided before the ledger is resolved. Reviewed twice on #417 as a gap this leaves open. A reader and an untrack are still missing, tracked separately: those need design decisions this does not.

A renewal pass silently discarded targets promised by a previous identity. It counted them in a log line and returned only the survivors, so a host saw a target stop appearing in
outcomeswith nothing saying why. RawAccounttargets are exactly the ones that do not survive a rotation, and the surface has no way to list the ledger, so there was no way to notice or recover.StatementRenewalReportcarries the labels it dropped. The information was already in hand at the pruning site; only the count reached the caller, so this is one additive field rather than new API surface.Labels come from one function shared with
resolve_target, so a pruned entry reads the same as a renewed one, and it derives without an active session because pruning is decided before the ledger is resolved against entropy.The CLI reports each dropped target with the reason and what to do about it. Both host READMEs now point at
report.prunedinstead of telling hosts a pruned entry is undetectable.Scope
Raised twice in review on #417. A reader and an untrack are still missing and are tracked separately: those need decisions this does not, and the report may reduce how much a reader is worth.
Verification
Live through the CLI:
/renewagainst the People chain, period 20682, three targets renewed. The two pruning tests now assert the reported labels, not just that entries were dropped.
