R9.5: Validator pool split

Spec claim

normative

Implementation claim

DIVERGENT: the runtime splits by `total_stake` with a 1.1× committee premium (`FINALITY_COMMITTEE_PREMIUM_WEIGHT_PPM`, deprecated)

Evidence claim

unknown

- **R9.5 - Validator pool split.** The block-reward validator 10% pool
  ([`validator_share_ppt`](#param-validator_share_ppt) = 100 ppt) **MUST NOT** be increased by an
  emission surcharge or a second mint. (The separate 15% inference-fee validator share is an extrinsic
  settlement fee leg, not an emission or dilution of block rewards; see [Appendix D](#appendix-d--fee--revenue-map)).
  It **MUST** be split in equal shares among the active seats, with no stake weight and no committee
  premium, and with integer dust assigned deterministically so payouts sum exactly to the pool. A seat
  whose SLA window fails forfeits that window's share (R15.5c; the forfeiture sink is E.59). The
  validator inference-fee leg (R12.1a) **MUST** use the same equal per-seat split. This holds unchanged under
  the four-way split: the agent and staker legs are carved **out of the miner residual**
  ([`miner_share_ppt`](#param-miner_share_ppt) 900 → 750 ppt), never added on top, so
  `validator_share_ppt` stays at 100 ppt.
