# Lifecycle

> Create, wait, reuse, or revoke a result.

## Stages

| Stage           | Meaning               |
| --------------- | --------------------- |
| Start           | Hosted, SDK, or API   |
| Accepted        | Request in flight     |
| Processing      | Async check           |
| Complete        | Receipt ID ready      |
| Reused          | Checks / gates / MCP  |
| Stale / revoked | Policy or user revoke |

## Strategies

| Strategy          | Use                     |
| ----------------- | ----------------------- |
| `reuse-or-create` | Default. Reuse if valid |
| `reuse`           | Read-only checks        |
| `fresh`           | Force a new result      |

## Freshness

* Point-in-time checks (balance, risk): respect recency.
* Prefer cheap checks + `since` / `sinceDays`. Run a new check only when policy needs it.

## Revoke (owner)

```http theme={"dark"}
POST /api/v1/proofs/revoke-self/{qHash}
```

```javascript theme={"dark"}
await client.revokeOwnProof(qHash, wallet);
```
