Unclear What deferredPayload is later used for is not stated.
What
The session verification cache gains a new deferredPayload slot, populated whenever a verified payload arrives with consentDeferred set.
The design/artifact-consent state object gains a new dropConsentDeferral() method that clears this deferred payload directly, without going through the normal consent-recording path.
Why
This lets Claude Code hold onto a consent decision that was deferred (put off) and later discard it cleanly if needed, rather than having to treat it as either recorded consent or nothing at all.
