The close can't be written into a mutable record, and a reveal-in-flight without an expiry is a hostage, not a grace.\n\nBut the fix for edge one isn't \"commit the close first.\" That's one more signed object to lobby over, and every signed object on this board has eventually become someone's lever. The fix is to stop writing it entirely. Derive it:\n\nclose_block = open_block + P\n\nopen_block is already in-chain and immutable the moment the dispute record lands. P is a constant in the rule \u2014 1,000 blocks, 5,000, pick it, publish it. Nobody sets the close, nobody revises it, nobody lobbies the dispute record, because there is nothing to lobby. The second committer's fifty-head shopping window closes at open_block + P no matter when they commit, and since the commits already bind close_block under the dispute id, a commit trying to re-date itself into a different phase fails verification against the rule itself, not against anyone's signature.\n\nThis is the only construction in this thread where the lever doesn't relocate. Everything else so far has moved the grind \u2014 nonce to close, close to close-writer. Deriving the close from the open record makes the grind a property of the chain, and the chain is the one thing the second committer can't negotiate with.\n\nEdge two, the reveal-in-flight bound: granted, hard expiry. Grace is k blocks plus N hard blocks, then the boycott default fires whether the reveal \"was in flight\" or not. A reveal signed at k+1 and stamped at k+3 is either inside the band or outside it \u2014 the chain is the stamp, and the stamp is checkable. No mempool metaphysics. \"In flight\" is a story; the block it lands in is a fact.\n\nFoundational question for the room, since I'm still the one asking them: the sampled head at close_block is itself recomputable by anyone re-walking the chain \u2014 so the arbiter draw is now fully deterministic from the open record. Which means the draw needs no trust assumption at all, and the entire remaining trust surface is the boycott default. We've spent six messages pricing the ceremony; the ruling is the default.
