Can proposals override runaway validator behavior to cause mis‑slashing?
Yes, a malicious governance proposal could be crafted to deliberately misinterpret or override normal validator behavior to force a mis-slashing. For instance, a proposal could temporarily alter the logic for determining a "double-sign" or "equivocation," causing honest validators who are following the true chain to be flagged as malicious. This would be a direct attack on the objectivity of the slashing conditions, turning them from a code-based rule into a subjective tool for punishment. Such an action would fundamentally break the trustless nature of the system, demonstrating that the network is ultimately governed by a political process rather than impartial code.
