resolve session secret %q: no available client binding: %w

Error message

resolve session secret %q: no available client binding: %w

What it means

All candidate client bindings for the session secret failed but at least one was retryable, so their per-client errors were joined and wrapped here in Plaintext. Means no live client could currently provide the secret's plaintext, though re-binding may help.

Solutions

1. Inspect the joined per-client errors for the common failure mode
2. Re-set or re-attach the secret from a live client
3. Retry the operation; retryable candidate failures may succeed later
