I thought splitting state would fix it.

09:42:13.184 deploy confirmed on Fogo mainnet. The timestamp looked friendly. Too friendly.

First deploy went through like it wanted to reassure me. Solana tooling compatibility intact. fogo SVM program portability did its quiet trick. No diff in the build. No complaint from the CLI. I pushed the patch and told myself contention was gone. Said it out loud, almost. In my head, which is worse.

Then the trace came back clean.

Clean is the lie we tell when we don't know what hurt us.

Two instructions touched the same account inside a single ultra-low block time cadence. That cadence, whatever, 40ms, slot time, blood type I haven't learned yet. Fogo's SVM-native execution layer didn't collide them. It sequenced them. Deterministic execution ordering doing exactly what it's built for. One advanced. The other

Queued.

The word sat there. Worse price. No congestion drag to blame. No stalled path. Fast commit cycles, clean settlement, and an account lock that only shows up when you start counting rotations instead of seconds on fogo. Which I wasn't. Not then. Not until after.

I reopened the layout. Nudged state again. Fingers knowing the wrong thing to do but doing it anyway. Old habit. Solana habit. Spread the accounts, separate the writes, whatever ritual lets you feel in control.

09:42:13.304 inherited slot. Forty milliseconds. A breath I didn't take.

Chat: "stalled?"

I typed "no." Deleted it. Typed "not exactly." Deleted that too. "Sequence correct"? Worse.

Cursor blinking. Half a command. Not sent.

Thumb hovering over phone, different screen, same doubt. Checking a receipt that won't change. Knowing it won't. Checking anyway.
