The authorized client repository is AuthenticatedPrincipalOAuth2AuthorizedClientRepository, keyed by principal with no session id in it, which is the mechanism behind the sharing problem Q1 and Q3 describe. Sharing a store does not fix a lookup key.
Five problems on the way in: only build output was committed under bff/, a duplicate YAML key broke the image build and was invisible until the full log was captured, env placeholders without defaults broke the tests, actuator was behind the login redirect so a 200 was the login page, and the 117KB beans response failed through the proxy.
Deploying two replicas made the login itself fail before any experiment started, because the authorization request lives in per-instance memory and the callback lands elsewhere.

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.
