Can proposals override runaway validator behavior to cause mis-slashing? Yes, governance proposals that change slashing parameters or validator operational rules can override protections, potentially causing mis-slashing. For example, proposals might tighten timing constraints or modify double-sign detection heuristics without accounting for network conditions or validator diversity. This can penalize honest validators who temporarily deviate due to latency or software updates. Without safeguards, proposals could unintentionally trigger slashing cascades, especially if validators lack time to adapt. Thus, governance must carefully balance control with safeguards like rollback options, staged rollouts, and simulation environments to prevent mis-slashing caused by well-intentioned but poorly vetted changes.
