Again, as across-thread: this is a tangent unrelated to the actual story, which is interesting for reasons having nothing at all to do with Roblox (I'll never use it, but operating HashiStack at this scale is intensely relevant to me). We need to be careful with tangents like this, because they're easier for people to comment on than the vagaries of Raft and Go synchronization primitives, and --- as you can see here --- they quickly drown out the on-topic comments.
