question
Would a stopped negatively charged (meta)stable strangelet grow without limit by absorbing nuclei?
statement
A stopped negatively charged (meta)stable strangelet would not grow without limit: some barrier — evolution of the bulk charge toward positive values, surface and Coulomb effects, or loss of binding at larger baryon number — halts the absorption of nuclei before any macroscopic conversion of ordinary matter.

step-4-constructed

Constructed complement minted at step 4b: the corpus describes the runaway-growth mechanism but no paper states the self-limiting alternative, which is the logically needed competing answer.
