From 38d3a6a832c5d6fe2c5488bb5bc1c18783610f8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: igneum-labs <337424239+igneum-labs@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 20:39:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Roadmap: every calendar month out, each phase worded by its gate; ledger X32; the home-page notes of G4, C2 and X8 point at the litepaper The owner's ruling, 6 October 2026: a phase 4 dated "Apr to Jul 2027" before a phase 5 that is weeks away is a contradiction a reader spots at once. The roadmap (site/litepaper.html Roadmap, site/journey.json, the home page's inlined journey) now names no month. Each phase in the shape phase 5 has, the order unchanged: 1 Under way; closes when the specification is out for external review 2 Under way; closes at its gate 3 Live since 3 October 2026; closes at its gate 4 Closes when the finality design passes external review and one rollup signs for the testnet 5 Weeks away: when the go checklist closes 6 After the testnet has passed its gate: 1,000 independent miners for 30 days and rollup proofs on time The lead reads "Six phases from specification to a fair launch, with four public gates and no calendar dates: each phase closes at its gate." The devnet's 3 October 2026 start is a fact and stays. Not in the roadmap and left as it is: the public benchmark's "January 2027" in For miners and Questions miners ask (its own commitment, for the owner's word). docs/fud-ledger.md: row X32 records the change; rows G4, C2 and X8 gain a status line (the old kept as history) saying the home page no longer carries their sentence and the litepaper does, after the home-page redesign; X3 got its line in the previous commit. The ledger page regenerated (178 entries, 0 leaks). Checks: identity grep 0 hits on every served site file, link check 912 links across 16 pages 0 broken, ledger text 51 of 51, contrast 32 pairs 0 under 4.5:1, orphan check 0 site headings, api tests 5 pass, no calendar month on the roadmap surfaces.

The sentence everywhere is "The public testnet is weeks away: three seed nodes and the public RPC are up, and it opens when the go checklist closes."

No calendar month is given for the testnet; the owner gives one if he wants one.
The answer as first written

The date was the plan of 3 October 2026 and the chain overtook it: the testnet genesis was fixed on 5 October, the three seeds and rpc.testnet.igneum.network are up, and the remaining work is the go checklist. Rows that quoted the month (X3, O-X.2's blocker note, overclaim item 75's replacement text) read the new sentence by reference to this row.

Dates slip. Gates do not. Phase two decides everything. If consumer GPUs cannot prove shards fast enough, Igneum says so and does not launch on promises.
