MIN_STAKE not enforced
In Staking.sol, the MIN_STAKE is only enforced if the node is not already staked.
https://github.com/ethersphere/storage-incentives/blob/9c96668e42a1355f05315b83b222fe689fe22d99/src/Staking.sol#L126-L128
This means that if a node initially stakes 10 BZZ (MIN_STAKE) at a height of zero and subsequently increases that height to 1 via reserve-capacity-doubling, the new stake is not validated to cover the increased number of neighborhoods. This newly doubled node is now able to compete in two different neighborhoods with an effective stake of 5 BZZ in each of them.
The bee source does have a warning log in this situation, but the storage incentives agent will compete in every selected round with the below-minimum stake. https://github.com/ethersphere/bee/blob/9e388ed3535710d7126188120c3665c3a2864149/pkg/node/node.go#L1037-L1039
You can see this in action between the following two manageStake transactions followed by the node competing the next time one of its selected neighborhoods was selected. (Yes, this node is running a reserve-capacity-doubling value of 2 resulting in 4 covered neighborhoods.)
