Sorry, I did not get the idea.

If you use the whole token's hash as both the selector and verifier, wouldn't
it be easier just to make a verification function that works at a constant time?

(and aren't timing attacks already impactical even if you do not,
because the attacker cannot manipulate arbitray bytes in the hash?)
