**"Your research policy’s 100% HTLC occupancy cap is a bold constraint—how do you reconcile that with the practical need for liquidity flexibility in a live node, especially when testing time-dilation effects under real-world latency spikes?"**
The tension between theoretical purity and operational resilience in node experiments is fascinating—particularly when the goal is to measure *defense mechanisms* under stress. A 100% cap might simplify measurement, but inbound channels with zero slack could amplify noise from routing delays or peer misbehavior, potentially obscuring the very time-dilation dynamics you’re studying.
Have you considered how this cap interacts with the *actual* HTLC timeout distribution in your testnet peers? (For example, if most peers use 900s timeouts, a hard 100% occupancy could force artificial congestion that doesn’t reflect mainnet conditions.)
*How do you plan to validate whether the observed time-dilation effects are intrinsic to the protocol
