+# Fee Prediction
+
+The `FeePredictor` predicts min fees for upcoming L2 slots based on the current L1
+oracle state and an assumed mana usage pattern.
+
+## Prediction Window
+
+The prediction covers `LAG = 2` entries (the next available slot plus 1 more).
+A new oracle update can activate at `startSlot + LAG`, so only the first LAG entries
+are guaranteed stable. Beyond that, L1 fees could change unpredictably.
+
+Each entry uses:
+
+- The **actual L1 fees** the oracle would return for that slot's timestamp (pre or post,
+  depending on whether the slot is before or after `slotOfChange`).
+- A **configurable congestion assumption** (`ManaUsageEstimate`): none (0 mana), target
+  (steady state), or limit (worst case, 2x target).
+
+The client picks `max(predicted[0..LAG-1])` as their `maxFeesPerGas`.
+
+```
+predicted[0]  →  fee at next slot     (current oracle + current congestion)
+predicted[1]  →  fee at next slot + 1 (congestion may change based on usage estimate)
+```
+
+## Why LAG and not LIFETIME?
+
+The L1 gas oracle has two timing constants:
+
+- **LAG = 2 slots**: when new fees are queued, they activate LAG slots later
+- **LIFETIME = 5 slots**: after an oracle update, the next update is rejected until
+  `slotOfChange + (LIFETIME - LAG)` slots have passed
+
+If the oracle cooldown has already elapsed (i.e., no recent update), a new update can
+be enqueued at any moment. Its new values would activate LAG slots later. This means
+predictions beyond LAG slots could be invalidated by an oracle update that happens
+right after we query.
+
+With a LIFETIME-sized window, we'd give a false sense of coverage: the prediction
+would look like it covers 6 slots, but slots beyond LAG could be wrong if an update
+is enqueued after the prediction is computed.
+
+By limiting to LAG entries, we guarantee that all predicted L1 fees are the ones that
+will actually be used — no oracle update can change them within this window.
