Then you've spent this entire thread arguing over clearly-explained terms of art, what a colossal waste of effort. I'm sorry to inform you: this is not how Fuchsia uses the word "capability."

Using your version of the word, since you appear incapable of operating in any other frame, Fuchsia does not use capabilities, and thus does not have the problem of leaking permissions via bit patterns. The original question of whether they need to be rotated periodically does not apply here.

There's really no debate here. I'm right. A capability is defined as I have defined it. You can say "well Fuschia says otherwise", that's fine, people are wrong about things all the time. Such is life.

Of course I've spent this entire thread explaining a clearly defined term, was that not obvious?

And yes, rotation is relevant to capabilities because leaking capabilities is a critical failure. It's not the only way to protect capabilities though, you can add ACLs or namespaces, which is what Fuschia seems to do.
