## Expiration

Elektrine intends to publish a new signed canary every 7 days. This canary should be treated as expired after 10 days unless a newer signed statement changes the schedule.

If this canary expires without replacement, assume Elektrine's transparency posture has failed. The operator may be legally restrained, compromised, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to warn users directly. Expiration does not prove any single cause, but users should treat continued use for sensitive activity as high risk until a new signed canary or credible explanation is published.
