+    The establish phase is divided into sub-states to support commit-reveal
+    for consensus-derived randomness while maintaining low latency through
+    pipelining.
+
+    @note Data collection (commits, reveals) happens continuously via proposal
+          leaves. Sub-states are checkpoints, not serial waits.
+
+    @note Convergence model: commitSet and entropySet use UNION convergence,
+          not avalanche voting. This is sufficient because:
+          - Each validator contributes exactly one deterministic entry
+          - Entries are piggybacked on proposals (already reliably propagated)
+          - There is no disagreement about inclusion — every valid entry belongs
+          - The only source of difference between nodes is timing
+          - Union is monotonic (sets only grow) and bounded (one per UNL member)
+          - SHAMap fetch/diff/merge handles late arrivals as a safety net
+          Avalanche is needed when nodes disagree about what to include/exclude
+          (e.g. disputed user transactions). For RNG sets, all honest nodes
+          want the same thing — include everything — so union suffices.
