Reviewed the docs-only clarification in README.md for the "1 CPU = 1 Vote" section.
What changed:
- Line 350: "Each unique hardware device gets exactly 1 vote per epoch" → "Each unique hardware device gets one consensus participation slot per epoch"
- Line 351: "Rewards split equally, then multiplied by antiquity" → "Reward shares are then weighted by the device's antiquity multiplier"
Assessment:
- The change is purely cosmetic wording clarification — no functional impact on consensus, mining, or payout logic.
- The new wording is more precise: "consensus participation slot" better describes the epoch-based voting mechanism than the vague "1 vote", and "weighted by antiquity multiplier" correctly reflects that reward shares are not equal after the multiplier is applied (the original wording could mislead readers into thinking rewards are split equally before the multiplier).
- Diff is 2 lines in README.md only — no code, tests, or config touched.
- The change aligns with the existing reward example and multiplier table below this section.
No blocking issues. Safe to merge.
