## TL;DR

Upgrade to a release containing the #65247 fix. If you cannot upgrade immediately, note the reporter correlation: the error manifested in an environment using the gitfs fileserver backend, and removing that configuration made it go away, which can serve as a temporary mitigation.

## Steps

1. Upgrade to a release containing the #65247 fix. If you cannot upgrade immediately, note the reporter correlation: the error manifested in an environment using the gitfs fileserver backend, and removing that configuration made it go away, which can serve as a temporary mitigation. But the durable fix is the patched release, since the root cause is in the TCP transport nonce handling.

## When to use

Use this skill when you run into "Salt nonce verification error with TCP transport on slow networks".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
