I expect some small 'inscription' (could just be a random Brc thing) in every post-chaintip block. Meaning that every block will be 'thrown out' by bip-110 nodes correct? So the hardfork will be almost immediate.

Then the forkers nodes will never see another valid block... because the previous block will already have been thrown out. It only takes one transaction from what I understand, almost a given, for the forkers to think the block is invalid meaning that every subsequent block is also invalid and the chains fork immediately.

Then it is on the forkers to generate enough hashrate to actually find blocks on their chain. If miners ignore them then... what?

If I recall the code from half a year ago correctly, all you need to do Saturday is not set bit 4 in the version field to 1. No inscription needed.

They are not yet introducing any rules affecting transactions, they are just rejecting blocks that don't signal.

Ah I see. Thank you for the clarification.
So if Block A doesn't signal... and on the same chain Block B does...

Do knots nodes see Block B build on A? Or do they just find the whole chain as invalid?

They will start rejecting a chain on the first block that doesn't signal and not see succeeding blocks on that chaintip.

Ok so it happens immediately. Thank you for the clarification. It will be interesting to watch on Saturday!
