TEP-01 / VALIDATOR-SET TRANSITION, WEAK-SUBJECTIVITY & LONG-RANGE ATTACK COURT

Rotate validators safely.
Anchor recent finality.
Reject rewritten history.

Epoch binds a justified checkpoint to current and next validator commitments, requires two-thirds overlap and delayed activation, then rejects stale long-range histories outside the weak-subjectivity anchor.
