Why did my Knots node comply with the BIP-110 soft-fork? How do I make it comply with the longer chain?

My Knots full node appears to have stopped receiving blocks after 961636, which appears to point it adopted the BIP-110* soft-fork:

bitcoin-cli getchainstates returns:

^{(Why does verificationprogress ≠ 1, anyway?)}

"BIP110 Scenario Monitor: Dwell" reveals this:

What about Bitcoin Knots made it comply with the BIP-110 fork? Is there a method I could make Knots comply with the primary chain?

Knots’s web site has a headline:

[The Bitcoin network is under attack] — block manufacturing has slowed considerably. [Read the announcement]

The group is getting ready mitigations to resolve the state of affairs. Within the meantime, attackers are spreading misinformation and advising customers to downgrade or swap to insecure node software program.

Customers are strongly suggested to not downgrade or swap to software program that weakens Bitcoin’s consensus protections. Doing so might compromise your safety and expose you to false confirmations from blocks which are invalid underneath Bitcoin’s consensus guidelines.

In case you have already downgraded, improve to the most recent model of Bitcoin Knots. Knots will try and restore the ensuing chain state and return your node to the legitimate chain.

Miners who restart their nodes might have so as to add the next to bitcoin.conf:

maxtipage=2592000

One other announcement will likely be revealed as quickly as a mitigation is prepared. If you need to take part within the ongoing mitigation technique, be a part of the #strategic channel on the Bitcoin Knots Discord.

Why does it advise miners ought to set maxtipage=2592000?
