Description

quill signs both the ingress message and the status request. Both have the same expiry. It is possible that the ingress message is submitted before the expiry and successfully processed but the status request not. If this happens we need a way to reproduce and re-sign the status request with a new expiry.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how quill signs the ingress message and status request, then determine how an expired status request can be reproduced and re-signed with a new expiry. Done means the status request can be renewed after the ingress message has already been processed.
