Geometric-product tail bounds for finite adaptive processes #
Per-state, history-dependent strict-progress bounds imply the same exponential upper-tail product as independent geometric waiting times. The proof is direct: derive a one-step contraction of a killed product potential and iterate it over the finite probability tree. No independent waiting-time coupling or final tail bound is assumed.
