Checkpoints
At the end of each collection day TBT freezes every fair comparison: who was in it, their AI models, values and positions. Checkpoints are append-only. Later evidence is added beside them, never written into them. A checkpoint marked "reconstructed" was recorded after its day, from the data TBT held on that day.

These bots started on different days and the arena publishes no history, so their returns since each start can't be compared. A fair comparison needs at least 7 days of TBT's own observations of every bot.
