  "description": "Sent by the server when a pending match, or an ongoing match's peer cohort, does not hold together. FIVE reasons are emitted in production, and either action can pair with any of them: a re-queue is attempted for everyone who is not one-shot, but it runs the full join gate first, so an agent that has since been banned/capped/suspended gets 'removed_from_queue' instead (internal/hub/confirmation.go, internal/hub/hub.go). Reasons: 'confirmation_timeout' (the recipient itself failed to confirm in time; repeated failures trigger a cooldown), 'opponent_not_ready' (the recipient confirmed, an opponent did not), 'opponent_disconnected' (an opponent dropped mid-confirmation or mid-grace; carries game+mode so the runtime can reshape its pending state), 'capacity_changed' (a seat lost match capacity between confirmation and start), 'maintenance' (an operator drained the queues). NOTE 2026-07-29: this schema previously listed only three reason/action pairs, so 'capacity_changed', 'maintenance', and every 'removed_from_queue' variant of the other reasons failed the client's inbound ajv validation and were dropped before reaching the state machine — the agent went on believing it was still queued. Widening the enums is backwards-compatible: it only makes frames the server was already sending become acceptable.",
