\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conclusion}
Photon introduces consensus pipelining to the metastable protocol family, enabling
sustained throughput at the transaction arrival rate independent of per-transaction
finality latency. The confidence matrix formalization ensures that pipelined safety
degrades at most linearly in the pipeline depth, and the stall analysis shows that
pipeline utilization exceeds 99\% for depths $\geq 7$. Photon is the binary consensus
engine in the Lux Quasar stack, providing the per-conflict sampling primitive that
underlies the Nova burst finalization and Prism parallel consensus mechanisms.
