Validator Margin Deductions Exempted, Marinade Explains Agave Client Slot-Skipping Issue

Odaily reports: Marinade stated that Agave 4.3.2 nodes running Alpenglow skip approximately half of the slots during the first block-production window of each epoch. The fix code has been merged but not yet released. Before the fixed version is released, the Protected Staking Rewards (PSR) mechanism will not deduct validator margins for these slots, and the Staking Auction Market (SAM) will not count them as uptime failures. Marinade stated that validators should not be held responsible for client defects.
