Description

We could accomplish this by asking the API server to check against multiple replicas before returning. For something like stream creation, I think this is probably okay, and it would save us a lot of hacks we have in place right now that bypass the replicas.

Research direction

Begin at the API server's stream-creation path and trace the existing replica-bypass workarounds. Determine how consistency across multiple replicas should be checked before returning, and define tests for stream creation. Done means the agreed consistency behavior is covered and the relevant workarounds are addressed.
