That's a good question, Ghast predates the PoS layer, I am not sure if it now incorporates elements of the PoS
so the ghast is the overal consensus algorithm, and it also has Pos and pow?
My understanding is that Ghast is the core of "tree-graph" algorithm, so unrelated to PoS. Here's an older medium post from those with better knowledge than I https://confluxnetwork.medium.com/conflux-research-group-ghast-mechanism-adaptive-weight-ghast-explained-part-1-ffe8224a7282
PoS is for transaction confirmation/finality, i.e., prevent transactions from being reverted even after it has been included in the blockchain after PoW. PoW is for sure part of the consensus mechanism. It makes sense for the PoS to also be part of that, but I am not 100% sure.
