Just want to register my surprise that you'd owe a chunk of your signing bonus if they fire you.

You know your situation best, and maybe that's what you're alluding to with the "dumb mistake", but my understanding of typical signing bonuses, they'd only get clawed back in event of employee-initiated resignation, not typically if employer terminates.

Writing it here in the off chance that it's helpful to you (or to someone else negotiating a signing bonus elsewhere).

Many are structured around "x time period of continuous employment" leaving the severing of the relationship vague.
