Thanks for this, it's a genuinely rigorous piece of work.
The formulas are internally consistent, and every worked example's arithmetic checks out.
The resolver-rotation-griefing section accurately describes the real contract mechanics (single open proposal, deadlock auto-cancel, no effect on in-flight disputes, admin override) rather than hand-waving it.
The DEPLOYMENT.md checklist update is honest too, "modeled" rather than overclaiming "real" validation, leaving that distinction for #13.
Nice work, take a look at the other open issues when you get a chance.

Summary
Closes #50.
I added a bond-sizing analysis for Tholos so the deployment docs no longer rely only on general advice for
bond_amount.I covered the main cases from the issue:
bond_amount.finalize_reward_bpsgriefing and showed how the reward affects the asserter haircut and finalizer incentive.I also updated
DEPLOYMENT.mdto point to the new sizing model, and I checked off the mainnet-readiness item for modeled spam/griefing validation.Notes
This does not mark Tholos as mainnet-ready by itself. The independent audit and real-world dispute-volume checklist items are still open.
