**Failure means:** the screen has gone back to copying the vault's lists once at unlock. Covered by
`TheTransfersScreen_FollowsTheVaultsHostList`; this is the version of it with a real picker in front of it.
+### 7.12 A key made now can be bound in the editor that is already open
+
+The same check one screen over, and the ordinary way round: start editing a host, type a port into it, then go
+to KEYS and add a key — or a password, or a tag — and come back to HOSTS. Repeat it with a group's editor open
+instead of a host's.
+
+**Pass:** the editor is still open with the port still in it, and the new key is in the AUTHENTICATION picker
+straight away. Choosing it and saving binds the host. A new tag is a chip among the others, unworn.
+
+Then the other half, which matters more: with a host that already authenticates with a key, open its editor
+and add a *second* key. **Pass:** the picker still reads the first one, and saving leaves the host bound to it.
+
+**Failure means:** an editor that has to be cancelled and reopened before it can see what was just made — the
+pickers went back to being snapshots taken when the editor opened, which was defensible only while the two
+screens refused each other. See `VaultViewModel.RefreshOpenEditors`, and
+`AKeyAddedWithTheHostEditorOpen_AppearsInItsAuthenticationPicker` for the same thing asserted against view
+models. A picker that *moves* instead — landing on the key that just arrived, or back on "Password (ask each
+time)" — is the worse failure of the two: it rebinds a host as a side effect of somebody else's sync.
