The background worker's key window is 250 keys (was 25: PullCap's hourly subscription ran out after 19 payments with the app closed, "key window exhausted"), derived once per account and memoized; 60 receive preimages (was 15). When the worker can't act on a request it still wakes the user, and now leaves a "wait, open the app" error with the notifier that goes out only if nobody answers within 20 s, so the other app hears something instead of silence and a sibling's real payment is never shouted over. A request older than its two-minute window (a push that waited at APNs) is ignored quietly instead of showing "Payment request"
