What absence/continuity rules affect accumulation of the qualifying residence period?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the absence and continuity rules for the qualifying period.

What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?

The application is filed at the prefecture of the applicant's home within the 2 months before the current residence certificate expires, with proof of the spouse's retiree status. The certificate allows entry at any time for stays of up to 1 year without a visa; it is valid for 10 years and renewable, and renewal requires a sworn statement that no stay in France with the certificate exceeded 1 year.
