 Per tier: a miner loses the installing vendor's rate for the install (PC 2: the Arc's 11 of 173 MH/s for an Intel install; a one-vendor rig loses everything for those minutes, which is what the installer does to the driver anyway) (3 to 8 minutes on a home line, the download dominating) and nothing else; a rig with the card inside the case sees no change; macOS and Linux have no install step. Tests: the known-failed rule test first (an install on an eGPU card with the worker still running held nothing: `an_install_on_an_egpu_card_stops_that_cards_worker_first_and_leaves_the_other_cards_mining`, red on build-2 at 17:1xZ, then green), the view test for the two sentences. Captures 13 to 16: the eGPU offer (13, 14) and the install running with the card's worker off (15, 16), mock scenarios `drivers-egpu` and `drivers-egpu-running`.
 
+## 3c. 6733 is acceptable for the Arc B580 until an unattended install path exists (the project lead's rule, 7 October 2026 evening)
+
+the project lead's rule tonight: no PC job may need a click or a UAC prompt. The one-click install asks for one, so the 9034 retry on PC 2 is cancelled, 6733 stays (the worker mines at 11.0 MH/s on it with the Intel rotate rewrite), and the table's Intel row carries `min_version` 32.0.101.6733: an Arc on Windows' inbox driver reads "fine" with no button; a card with no driver at all is still offered 9034 (test `the_shipped_table_accepts_the_inbox_6733_driver_for_the_arc_b580_until_an_unattended_install_exists`). What follows: the install path moves off the elevated prompt onto the app's Power Helper task (the registered elevated task the tuner already uses), so a driver installs unattended at the next idle moment with the vendor's cards held; until then the one-click path stays as it is for a user at the keyboard. The 16:27Z minidump waits for the same unattended path (the Minidump folder refuses an unelevated read), not for a click.

 ## 4. Not done, and what follows
 
 - The table's publish: `publish-manifest.sh --drivers packaging/ota/drivers.json` with the 0.3.21 manifest (the shipper's step); every row is measured.
