2. Are attesters required to broadcast their local base fee floor by some deadline?
3. Can attesters broadcast their local base fee floor and then update it prior to some deadline?
4. Is there some point in which attesters are absolutely committed to a base fee floor prior to their attestation, or is this just a soft definition that they can individually update prior to the proposal attestation?

The local base fee floor is never broadcast and the base fee floor as such remains unknown during the entire process. Attesters only roughly imply the base fee floor by rejecting or accepting a block. You may find the discussion in the separate post on a proposed change to the mechanism useful.

@aelowsson

There is never a consensus on the burn base fee floor (in any of the designs), and it is not necessary. Each attester simply rejects any block below their subjective floor.
