protocol-safety-validated-only-under-synchronous-model

Status: IN

Distributed protocol safety properties are validated exclusively under synchronous simulation (deterministic tick-based delivery, no real network I/O), but the most critical failure mode — network partitions creating stale-leader write acceptance and forced re-elections — is inherently asynchronous, creating an untested gap between modeled and real-world safety.

Justifications

Partition hazards are modeled but only tested under instant delivery — async timing effects remain unvalidated
