|---|---|---|---|
| 5 October, at install (earlier today) | the RX 9070 XT in the Sonnet Breakaway Box 850T5 over USB4 went Code 43 | came back after a driver reinstall and a reboot | |
| 5 October, about 20:40 | the 9070 XT dropped off PC 1's bus: Get-PnpDevice -Class Display lists only the integrated AMD Radeon Graphics (gfx1036) and the RTX 5090; after `pnputil /scan-devices` at 20:45:34Z the card is still absent and the USB4 list shows only the host and root routers: the "USB4 Router (2.0), Sonnet Technologies Breakaway Box 850T5" present at 17:18Z is gone, so the box itself is off the link | the AMD worker (igneum-worker-opencl --device 1) mines the gfx1036 at 3.12 MH/s; the 5090 keeps mining; nobody was woken, PC 1's app was not restarted; a 10-second rescan probe (pnputil /scan-devices, the USB4 router status) was granted | the second eGPU link fault today: reseat the USB4 cable and the eGPU's power; the 0.3.10 hot-plug code shows the card as "removed" and picks it up again without a restart |
| 5 October, 21:22:59 to 22:21 | the card dropped again at 21:22:59 (the third drop), was back and used by the hot-table (21:31 to 21:35), the era (21:46 to 21:51 and 22:16 to 22:21) and the mixer (22:00 to 22:04) jobs as gfx1201, and was gone again by 22:24:09 (the fourth drop; no Sonnet or USB4 router device) | the OpenCL worker falls to the gfx1036 (--device 1) when the card is gone; every measurement that names gfx1201 ran while it was present | the link flaps on a scale of tens of minutes: reseat the USB4 cable and the eGPU's power, try another port or cable; the AMD clock and power sweep is owed on this |
| 5 October, by 21:09 | the 9070 XT is back on PC 1's bus: the reproducible-benchmark package's OpenCL worker listed it as opencl:1 and the app switched it off and on through api/cards; no restart, nobody touched the box | the app's AMD worker returns to it at the next prepare | the link drops and returns by itself; the reseat is still worth doing in the morning |
| 5 October, by 21:22:59 | the third drop: no Sonnet or USB4 Router (2.0) device present, the display list shows only the gfx1036 and the 5090 | the app lists nvidia:0 and amd:1:gfx1036; the 5090 keeps mining at 124.5 MH/s (app log STATUS lines through 21:23:26Z) | the link is flapping: reseat the USB4 cable and the eGPU's power in the morning, and consider a different USB4 port or cable; every AMD measurement tonight runs on the gfx1036 fallback unless the card is present at the job's own probe |

Job run-ca2-era-pc1b-20261005 (22:16 to 22:21Z, 304 s, both cards restored, app 0.3.10, the 9070 XT present): the seven final-class packs' 2^24 fingerprints equal on the 5090, the 9070 XT and the M5 Max (mx8-devnet-epoch0 90f794dd556f7a3b; era-0 8e8e070db4eea52d, era-1 891c01b8563bb47e, era-2 e54279fed2831b5d, era-3 77e0ba8abbd0ae62, era-4 d898d8f4f2e7684b, era-5 a6927db380f7efb2); G2: 1,024 of 1,024 per card on era-0 and the pinned pack re-hashed by the Rust verifier. Rates on the final class (MH/s): 5090 135.90 to 137.70 (spread 1.3%), 9070 XT 18.59 to 19.18 (3.1%), M5 Max 27.85 to 27.98 (0.5%); the pinned pack 136.10 / 18.90 / 27.80. Spec 1.17 carries these fingerprints. Gates now: G1, G2, G3, G4, G6 green; G4b (a) done, (b) the Metal gate run pending; G5 at the ship's build. PC 1 goes to the AMD sweep on its presence probe.
22:25. Consequences C29 and D11 applied. C29: the litepaper's verifier line now reads 2.1 ms per warp for class v3 on one M5 Max core at load average 5.5 (the fixed crate; worst cold 2.15), 3.4x the v2 verifier's 0.61 ms, the gate leaving 4.8x (4.6x on the worst cold unit); the "about 1.3 ms quiet" scaling is struck: it came from the slow binary's 2.79 ms session (21:40), and the fixed binary's session (22:07) matched readwidth's quiet v2 figure within 1%, so the fixed numbers are near-quiet. D11: "and the bounty" struck from the hero and the abstract, "standing" from level 1; the copy says "a bounty follows the external review"; the bounty is named only once escrowed (funding.md rule 3; USD 50,000 not funded); the project lead decides (D11). The level 3 table and the numbers-page entry now carry the final-class rates (5090 135.90 to 137.70, 9070 XT 18.59 to 19.18, M5 Max 27.85 to 27.98).
## 22:25 the fourth eGPU drop; the era branch final; PC 1 to Ember
The 9070 XT is absent again at 22:24:09Z (relay probe #230: no Sonnet or USB4 router device), the fourth drop today, after serving the hot-table, era (twice) and mixer jobs between 21:31 and 22:21; the AMD clock and power sweep did not start and its rows are owed with this time and reason; the hardware-events table in the rollout plan carries the flapping for the morning. ca2-era is final at 95955c3 on ca2-v3 5eb2331 (six commits: the implementation, the Mac rows, the PC round 1 rows, the G2 hash-bound --count flag, the final-class re-export, the round 2 rows; 53 + 30 tests). "go PC 1 build" given to Ember Tune (its two fetches and the 8-minute Windows app build), then its 8-minute run on the 5090 baseline. PC 2: floor-build-2 running (to about 23:50), then the aggregation-cost re-run, then the prover-floor sweep.
