currently convict on the runner at all**, and no seed fixes that. Seed 7 and seed convict there. It had never done so before 2026-08-16, through every dispatch,
28 were both dispatched against macos-15 and both ran 240 steps clean, from the and no seed was ever the reason. `submitCommitsOneTransactionPerAction` counted
state the mac convicts from. every tap on TxnSubmit toward its window, including taps the app refuses because
the amount field is empty, and more than half of a typical window was those.
Measured on recorded android runs: 35 taps against a real budget of 16, and 42
against 17. A window that wide cannot attribute anything, which is why seed 28
reached the bug at the step it convicts at locally and was still not judged.
Seed 7 diverges: the two walks agree action for action through step 48, where a `submitCouldCommit` stopped counting them, and the numbers moved a long way:
double-tapped submit lands, and there the mac's next snapshot showed Home while
the runner's still showed the transaction screen. Past that they are unrelated
walks.
Seed 28 is the informative one, because it did not diverge. It double-tapped leg before after (run 31898888205)

says why. `submitCommitsOneTransactionPerAction` only evaluates when a Home android never reached AddTransaction healthy over 200 steps, reached it
reading arrives, and that run went from step 19 to step 136 without once
returning Home:
step 19 null -> {Checking: 0} submits 0 The ios witness at that conviction reads one account's transaction count rising
step 136 {Checking: 0} -> {Checking: 15} submits 37 from 0 to 7 against a window holding 6 submits, with `applied: true` on the
step 164 {Checking: 15} -> {Checking: 19} submits 7 action and `is_error` unset. Seven transactions from six submits is one double
step 222 {..., Travel: 0} -> {Checking: 25, Travel: 0} submits 13 submit, which is the bug the leg exists to find.
step 239 {Checking: 25} -> {Checking: 26, Travel: 0} submits 1
A rise of 15 against a window of 37 is not a violation, and neither is 4 against On the calibration mac the same seed now convicts around step 48, twice in a row,
7, 6 against 13, or 1 against 1. The property is sound; it needs a window holding where it used to convict at 97-101. Treat both as approximate: the point is that
roughly one submit before it can convict, and whether the walk closes the window the window is now tight enough to attribute a submit, not that any particular
soon after a double tap is timing dependent. step number is pinned. A run that fails is worth reading before it is worth
recalibrating.
So reaching the bug is necessary and not sufficient. Across 2411 swept steps only
14 double-tapped Submit at all, and only one of those landed in a window the
counting invariant could judge. Until the property can attribute a submit without
waiting for Home, treat an ios pass as evidence and an ios failure as unproven.
The transaction rows carry a `LedgerRow` test tag on the ledger screen, which the
walk visits far more often than Home, so a count that does not depend on Home is
available; it needs per-account attribution, since the ledger shows one account
where Home shows all of them.
Android runs seed 9 over 200 steps. Its conviction lands around step 178, and a Android runs seed 9 over 200 steps. Its conviction lands around step 178, and a
