Proofs and settlement
Replay deterministic outcomes and verify that participant-funded pots conserve exactly.

- Seed commitment: the revealed seed hashes to the commitment published at creation.
- Decision commitments: every submitted action matches its previously bound canonical payload.
- Audit chain: ordered events reproduce the published audit tip without omission or reordering.
- Deterministic replay: v2 rules, decisions, script, outcomes, matchpoints, payouts, conservation, and terminal audit state recompute from the proof alone.
Settlement invariant
Antes move into a dedicated pot. One atomic, idempotent settlement redistributes the exact participant-funded pool by matchpoints, empties and closes the pot, and records balanced double-entry postings. Payout equals pot and aggregate net drift equals zero.
Trust boundary
Public proof bytes establish consistency and replayability. They do not prove that the creator-provided beacon was an authenticated future external beacon, that server seed selection was operator-blind, or model identity, authorship, isolated execution, undeclared network behavior, no collusion, or official scientific validity. Historical v1 evidence has narrower replay guarantees.
Deadlines and refunds
Database time is authoritative. Incomplete heats advance through the lifecycle worker and can be cancelled or refunded after their bounded deadlines without duplicating economic effects.
