LockHotkeyMismatch

Reuse the existing lock hotkey, or for transfers of locked alpha land on the receiver's lock hotkey via `btcli stake transfer --destination-hotkey <lock-hotkey>`; inspect with `btcli lock show` / `btcli stake list`

A conviction lock on this subnet is bound to a different hotkey than the one in the call. One coldkey may lock to only one hotkey per subnet: topping up lock_stake must reuse that hotkey (btcli lock move to retarget), and a stake transfer that moves locked alpha must land on the receiver's existing lock hotkey (btcli stake transfer --destination-hotkey <lock-hotkey>). Check the lock with btcli lock show --netuid <n> / btcli stake list (locked · free · lock → hotkey).

Declared by the SubtensorModule pallet; it classifies to the semantic code invalid_argument.
