 Solution

This is a safety property: a bad shutdown or a later reactivation has a finite bad CSP trace. Use the CSP traces model. Let $V=\{0,\dots ,N-1\}$, let $A\subseteq V$ track active nodes, and let $D\subseteq V$ track nodes that have announced shutdown. Let $\mathrm{Ring}$ contain every message CSP event. Define the following specification over the status-signal alphabet:Use the CSP refinement checkThe specification offers a shutdown only if the active set is empty, and offers no activation once $D$ is nonempty. A trace violating either requirement is therefore absent from the specification. Recording $D$ also prevents duplicate shutdowns and any status change by an already shut-down node. CSP hiding removes message details irrelevant to this finite bad-prefix check; a CSP traces model check alone does not assert eventual progress.

The system satisfies the check. After the first message has passed nodes $1,\dots ,i$, its bit is the Boolean conjunction of their being idle when sampled. Every sampled node is then frozen until it forwards the second-round decision. A true bit returning to node $0$ therefore means that every non-coordinator is idle and still frozen; the coordinator has itself remained idle. A true decision consequently reaches only idle nodes, each of which proceeds to shutdown rather than returning to $\mathrm{Free}$. No node can subsequently become active. A false decision permits no shutdown at all.
