Cutting TCP 7800 leaves cross-node refresh working (200), confirming sessions travel through PostgreSQL rather than the cluster transport. Logout is the opposite: the database row is deleted but the other node answers from its stale local cache, so the A-0 conclusion that invalidation rides the database is corrected here.
Two things the plan did not anticipate: a NetworkPolicy cannot sever an established connection because conntrack accepts it before policy evaluation, and Keycloak reports the partition through its readiness probe so the split node removes itself from the Service.

PostgreSQL statement logging shows keycloak-1 reading and updating the session created on keycloak-0. The same transaction reveals optimistic locking via VERSION, SKIP LOCKED, and synchronous_commit turned off. Fixes the earlier concept note that credited Infinispan with cross-node propagation.

Experiment 0 with three probes: cross-node refresh/logout, cache counter deltas around a single login, and cache entry ownership. Each node caches only what it handled; cache totals sum exactly to the database count.
