The moves Kf1 and Kf8 are mouseslips 100% of the time

In „my“ case (#7) 11. ...0-0? instead of Kf8 would have been the mouse-slip... Can someone code a safety-belt?
@adondevamos They aren't. Here is a line I have encountered multiple times from both sides: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 Be7 4. Bc4 Bh4+ 5. Kf1

In my games, actual Kf1 occurs more frequently than mouse slips. There is nothing special about these moves and no reasons to handle them in a special manner.
@inversed did you forget castling right is temporarily forbidden until the "check" is taken care of.

There will be NO confirmation box for Kf1 when the last opponent move was an check, simply because castling ain't allowed when under the condition of "check".
1. Is this a joke?

2. What happens if this is in the end game and someone checks me, and the only escape square is Kf8 or Kf1? Suddenly lichess thinks it's a mouseslip??

EDIT: for 2., Kf8 or Kf1 doesn't have to be the only escape square. Even if it's just one of them, it still applies...
@InnateAluminum Don't reduce this to absurdity, the rule applies only if the kingside castling is available. This means that if the king is in check, or if you want to capture an enemy piece on f1/f8, or if the king is not on e1/e8, or if this is an endgame where the king already walked and just randomly got to e1/e8, you can freely move. This doesn't seem too crazy.
Once again: I wish to have a notification if ...0-0 is a mouse-slip and ...Kf8 was intended. (see #7).
By the same logic, I request a notification if I am about to play Nf3-e5 (or Nf6-e4 etc). That's 100% a mouseslip, as usually there is a bishop on g4 pinning the knight to the queen which I then lose! 100%, I swear!
