Description

Wire the interop actor as the promotion source: activation timestamp from LagoonTime consensus (or override); pre-activation trivial promotion with local-safe; nothing during backfill (cross-safe holds at activation-1); verification-driven after. Advance promotions idempotently re-pushed each round (no acks). Finality: keep the L2Finalizer signal, interop actor supplies the verified-at-finalized-L1 bound, controller takes the min, clamped at most cross-safe. Gates: cold-start and activation-at/after-genesis tests; cross-safe held across an engine reset.

Depends on: #22536, #22525 (promotion entry point).

Research direction

Start with the promotion entry point in #22525 and the dependency in #22536. Trace the interop actor, LagoonTime activation, promotion rounds, L2Finalizer signal, and controller finality bound. Done means the cold-start, activation-at/after-genesis, and engine-reset gates pass, with idempotent promotions and finality clamped at cross-safe.
