  "abstract": "In the strict long-match limit it does not: leaky release raises walk-away value, captive regimes close that leak without produc- ing a positive marginal principal slope, and what remains is carry. Relationship premia provide the scalable continuation-value component of deterrence, while the mechanism\u2019s release, filing, custody, and turnover terms determine whether collateral can help at the margin away from the limit. Design by stake sizing remains design, but it is design of the wrong variable.",
