Hello,

This new version of our draft has many improvements raised by IESG member 
reviews.

Highlights:

- JWS algorithm requirements tightened: mirror clients MUST implement ES256. 
Servers MAY use other digital signature algorithms but MUST NOT use "none", MAC 
algorithms, or Deprecated/Prohibited algorithms. This gives clear 
interoperability guidance while leaving room for future algorithms such as PQC.

- Delta retention safety rule: mirror servers MUST NOT remove references to 
Delta Files with a version higher than the current Snapshot File version, 
preventing a rare (but recoverable) race condition.

- Error Recovery section: new section consolidating retry and recovery guidance 
with bounded exponential backoff, snapshot fallback, and operator alerting.

- Clarifications around hashes/signatures, snapshot generation rules, history 
rewriting, GZIP decompression risk, Cache-Control headers, various terminology 
items.
