How a deployment's chain settles, i.e. what Commitment: "finalized" resolves to for everything that reads a canonical head — today the indexer's canonical tier and its backfill ceiling.

"finalized" uses the block tag of the same name: correct on post-merge Ethereum, and supported by anvil. It has deliberately no silent fallback — a chain that does not implement the tag should fail the request rather than have a caller quietly treat reorgable tip blocks as canonical. Name a confirmations depth for such a chain and the head becomes latest - confirmations instead.

A property of the chain rather than of any one client, which is why it lives here: two components reading "the finalized head" differently would disagree about what is settled.
