Statement
A finite-time form of the deference collapse's guarantees, holding before any malign hypothesis can act, is available by some route.

Notes
The finite-time crux, filed beside the landed plan step step-asymptotic-to-finite-time (li-trust's); two rows are conditioned on results of this frame. It re-ranks that step against the other bounded-agent steps. A given edge from this node onto the landed step is a recommendation for the fix stage.
