Having precommitted first is equivalent to deterministically acting as if already precommmitted in this instance, having precommitted too late is equivalent to only acting that way in future instances. I use "having precommitted" rather than "having source code such that..." because it's simpler, more intuitive, and more easily applicable to agents who don't have source code in the straightforward sense.
