Put the node into an offline/suspended state when audits are failing

Then, if anything, what you are achieving this way is at most explaining why the proposal is not the best way to handle pietro’s case. But then there’s also e.g. this thread or this one. While the latter gained a specific solution, the idea from this thread would improve the situation of all three of these cases with a single approach. And, as you already stated, there might be other failure modes still lurking out there.

That’s why I believe it does have merit to discuss this specific idea away from a single incident.
