contents Building on existing $hp$-adaptive algorithms driven by equilibrated-flux estimators from [ESAIM Math. Model. Numer. Anal. 57 (2023), 329--366] and the references therein, we propose a novel $h$-adaptive algorithm for a fixed polynomial degree $p$. We consider a conforming finite element discretization of the Poisson equation in two or three space dimensions. Supposing piecewise polynomial right-hand side, we show that the algorithm yields error contraction at each step, with a contraction factor that is independent of $p$ provided that a certain {\sl a posteriori} verifiable criterion is satisfied. We further show that this algorithm converges at optimal algebraic rate $s$ if the Dörfler marking parameter is chosen below some specified $p$-independent upper threshold. The constants involved here are $p$-robust, although they may depend on the rate $s$. The theoretical results are supported by numerical experiments, in which the {\sl a posteriori} criterion is always satisfied for one or a few local mesh refinement steps by newest-vertex bisection.
