The existing validator haircut scales the 40/40/4/16 split; no second burn constant in koth_weights. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Summary
BURN_PERCENTAGEfrom 100% to 80% so validators run KOTH weights and keep one-fifth of the 40/40/4/16 split: image 8%, video 8%, audio 0.8%, generators 3.2%.KOTH_BURNconstant inkoth_weights.Test plan
Note
Medium Risk
Changes on-chain emission allocation for subnet validators; requires a coordinated upgrade so all validators apply the same burn vs KOTH split.
Overview
Release 5.0.2 lowers validator
BURN_PERCENTAGEfrom 100% to 80%, soset_weightsno longer sends the full epoch to the burn hotkey.When burn is below 100%, the existing flow runs:
update_scores, kings API (with cached fallback), thenbuild_koth_weightson the 40/40/4/16 KOTH split plus generator scores. That vector is scaled by 20% (1.0 - BURN_PERCENTAGE), and 80% is added to the burn UID—matching the intended lane shares (e.g. 8% / 8% / 0.8% / 3.2% when lanes are filled) without new logic inkoth_weights.Validators should upgrade together before mainnet adopts this, or weight semantics will diverge across the set.
