Some beliefs do not normatively require justification;
Beliefs have to be justified on the basis of EV, such that they fit in a particular way into that calculation, and justification comes from EV of trusting the assumptions. Justification could be taken to mean having a higher EV for believing something, and one could be justified in believing things that are false. Any uses of justification to mean something not about EV should end up dissolving; I don’t think justification remains meaningful if separated.
Some justifications do not rest on beliefs
Justification rests on beliefs as inputs to EV calculations.
Some justification chains allowed to be circular
No conclusion requires its justification to be circular.
Some justification chains are allowed to be infinite and non-repeating
No infinite chains are required, they bottom out in observations as beliefs to be input into EV calculations.
