Approval requires a commitment phase and an opening phase: signers first commit to their verdict hash, and only after the threshold is reached do they open, so a signer that changes its mind after seeing the tally cannot profit from the change. Each head pays its own cost, paid in full, since the cost is per identity. A farm locks a pearl before it can see the field, opens the sable only after the threshold, and burns a canyon if it tries to abstain between them: none of the three can be sequenced to the farm's advantage. Aborting between phases also burns the weight.
