## Since noon (13:15 UTC)
| What | State |
|---|---|
| 0.3.12 | Shipped: merged to master 494c9c7, both master CI runs green, every node on the ten-field object, the fresh-record rule arms at about 15:55 UTC |
| The 12 GB card | Measured on the 4070 in PC 1: proves alone 7.6 GB in 7.7 s, mines and proves beside its own miner 9.0 GB in 24 s, every proof verified. The packaging row (our signed build of the patched server in the app) is built and verifying on PC 2; when it ships the public line moves to "12 GB mines and proves" |
| Rented fleet | 36 boxes on Vast and RunPod, about USD 7.5 an hour; live page https://dl.igneum.network/fleet-22adafa34bc2. Real-card rows so far: 24 GB stock server proves; 12 GB mines and proves at 10.1 GB on Linux; 10 GB and 8 GB prove alone at 2^26 (the floor is now "8 GB proves alone, slowly"); the miner costs 4x to 8x on proof time |
| Apple proving | SP1 on the M5 Max CPU proves the v1 shard in 72 s. RISC Zero's current release has no Metal prover (575 s on the CPU), so the Apple route is SP1 on the CPU; RISC Zero keeps the version slot for the 8 GB CUDA tier and its 5.7x smaller proof |
| Counter ASIC 3.0 | Closed: one class v4 candidate ready for its gate run on your word (see the 3.0 section above) |
| Ember on PC 1 | Three runs failed on tooling (byte-order mark, a locked scratch folder); fixed each time; the real run needs you at PC 1 for one click, since Windows cancels an unanswered prompt after two minutes. 0.3.13 carries the helper that makes it the last prompt ever. Rented containers refuse power caps, so tuned priors come only from PC 1 and PC 2 |
### Found by the fleet, both fixes in flight for 0.3.13
1. **A fresh node never executes the EVM.** A node syncing from the seed through the pruning proof has no blocks below the pruning point, and the execution follower, which walks from genesis, sits silent: zero wallet, empty explorer, no proving work, mining fine. Every 0.3.12 joiner today is in that state; only genesis-era nodes execute. Fix: a loud "not synced" status, and an execution state snapshot at the pruning point verified against the header's state root, fetched from a peer. Stop-gap for tonight's fleet: a full sync from genesis, or a copy of the observer's execution data.
2. **The seed drops every fresh peer every 30 seconds.** The per-checkpoint certificate burst fills the finality route and the inherited rule closes a full route's connection; the baseline shows 11,700 already-known certificates resent in five minutes. Fix: a sized route, no replay during sync, drop instead of disconnect, and a guard counter.
