 You can also use periodic turnstiles too. Not sure if that is better or worse though, since it would potentially screw honest users if bad actors get through first, but would definitely guarantee sound supply if thats what was truly desired I guess? But it's an option

I too think a supply bug would eventually be discovered either indirectly through severely negative price action, devs/honest users finding it eventually themselves and reporting it, and malicious actors telling their friends and so on. The old saying that two people can only keep a secret if the other is dead. People cant help running their mouth.

Nothing can be done about the aftermath of a supply bug that is taken advantage of whether it's Bitcoin or Monero. Your only option to fix it requires having to screw over people who gave away real goods and services for "fake coins". Or leave the fake coins in the supply. Either thing does damage to users. The only advantage Bitcoin has is potentially finding it sooner. The 2018 Bitcoin double spend bug was not caught via noderunners. A single honest anon secretly reported it to devs.
