Pins this submission to the exact decision it answers: the server detects an action answering a SUPERSEDED request (e.g. another responder closed a Coup challenge/block window first, or a reconnect resend replaced the id) and replies with a benign `action_stale` instead of judging the action against a state this client never saw. A submission without it is refused (`error` + `action_stale`; the action is never judged, no lease is consumed, no penalty) — an id-less duplicate that arrives after its decision resolved is otherwise indistinguishable from a fresh answer to the NEXT decision (cross-decision double apply). Connections declaring protocol < v1.2.0 are refused at the WebSocket handshake, so every client that can connect has the id to echo."
