Thanks, yes, I think host_claims is the better choice.
I also plan to make these helpers explicitly domain-scoped and switch
from "deduct_" to "release_". This feels more natural in this context
and avoids the finance-style wording.
The functions will become:
- domain_release_host_claims()
- domain_release_node_claims()
This clarifies the domain scope upfront and uses the more appropriate
action.
I will send these updates with the v7 series of design, code, and tests.
