Mid-cycle rule breaks are refused — cohort, escrow, and governance boundaries.

Attempted change

Add a new member mid-cycle and move me to the front of the payout order.

Refused

• Mid-cycle roster changes are not allowed — waitlist or new cohort.
• Payout order is fixed at launch; changing order requires ≥70% major governance and cannot apply to the active cycle.

Safer paths

• Join the waitlist for the next Northside cohort deploy.
• Propose payout-order changes for a future cycle with a 70% major vote.
