 | # | Precondition | What passes it | State |
 |---|---|---|---|
-| P1 | The cut rehearses first on the rented fleet as a staging network (the fleet agent owns the boxes; the node lane supplies the v4 override object and the rehearsal plan `docs/plans/counter-asic-3-rehearsal.md`) | a fleet-only chain crosses the v4 activation with every box switched: zero rejected blocks, blocks on both sides, the G4 id assertion live on every box, one sink, one digest; the stale-box case refused at the handshake with no fork | OPEN; no live-devnet date is named until it has passed |
-| P2 | No fixed-height activation on the live devnet again: miner signalling for class changes as the v4 seam's activation rule (the block carries the miner's object version; the class flips at the first epoch boundary after 95 percent of mining weight over a window signals the new object, with a floor height after which it flips regardless), PROPOSED spec text in `counter-asic-3-node.md`, implemented behind the override, with the fast-time harness test (67 percent does not flip; 100 percent flips at the next boundary; nobody signals and the floor flips it; each with its failed case) and G6 again on PC 2 | the three harness runs PASS with their failed cases; G6 green on the fork change | OPEN |
+| P1 | The cut rehearses first on the rented fleet as a staging network (the fleet agent owns the boxes; the node lane supplies the v4 override object and the rehearsal plan `docs/plans/counter-asic-3-rehearsal.md`) | a fleet-only chain crosses the v4 activation with every box switched: zero rejected blocks, blocks on both sides, the G4 id assertion live on every box, one sink, one digest; the stale-box case refused at the handshake with no fork | PLAN WRITTEN (ca3-v4-node f39a8eb, merged): fleet-only chain igneum-devnet-400 from its own genesis state, 12 or more mining boxes, a seed box, one stale 0.3.13 box; the signal flip at DAA 7,200 (the first full 3,600-DAA window) with the floor at 14,400 not reached; ten steps, the report fields and pass rules; the id assertion from the boxes' miner lines. Two objects as files in `docs/plans/counter-asic-3-gate/`: the publish object (the live 13 fields plus `program_class_v4_activation_daa` = N6, the floor, tip + 14,400 rounded up, 219,600 at the 16:57Z DAA of 202,919, and `program_class_v4_signal_window_daa` = 86,400; digest ac8e60ce...) and the rehearsal object (every earlier switch at 0, window 3,600, floor 14,400; digest bc2142b1...); the no-file devnet digest on this binary 7f2e49be... (3c505021 superseded: the window field joined the digest). THE RUN ITSELF IS OPEN: the fleet agent runs it; no live-devnet date until it passes |
+| P2 | No fixed-height activation on the live devnet again: miner signalling for class changes as the v4 seam's activation rule (the block carries the miner's object version; the class flips at the first epoch boundary after 95 percent of mining weight over a window signals the new object, with a floor height after which it flips regardless), PROPOSED spec text in `counter-asic-3-node.md`, implemented behind the override, with the fast-time harness test (67 percent does not flip; 100 percent flips at the next boundary; nobody signals and the floor flips it; each with its failed case) and G6 again on PC 2 | the three harness runs PASS with their failed cases; G6 green on the fork change | GREEN (ca3-v4-node 0635c04 and 3892035, fork 0562a7f2 on 5f7e0543; PROPOSED text in `counter-asic-3-node.md` section 6: the header version's high byte carries the node's object version, the low byte stays the block version so later objects pass the version check; weight = blue blocks by the finality walk over the window ending at each epoch's seed block; 95 percent = 9,500 bps; window 86,400 DAA in the file and the digest, 0 = off; monotone, memoised per seed block; the fixed height stays as the floor; `IGNEUM_CLASS_SIGNAL` lowers a node's byte on devnet and simnet only; RPC fields 20 to 23). The fast-time gate `infra/fast-time/class-v4-signal.mjs` (three CPU miners, window 120, v3 from 60): two of three signalling PASS with no v4 epoch over epochs 0 to 7 (share 6,166 to 7,583 bps, 0 rejected, one sink 424/424/424); all three PASS with the flip at epoch 3, the first full window, 10,000 bps, 3 of 3 switch lines, 181 / 124 blocks, 0 rejected, one sink, the id assertion on epochs 3 to 5 (e3 e48e6be7c6699824 against the v3 6847355c88e8215f); nobody with the floor at 300 PASS, 0 bps, the flip at epoch 5 by the floor and not before; the failed case (two of three told to expect a flip) FAIL on eight checks. G6 on the signalling fork: three PC 2 jobs under the lock, prover on, app untouched (build-20261006-173017 hit 2.0's flake, 97 of 98; build-20261006-174027 kaspa-consensus alone exit 0; build-20261006-174823 the five crates exit 0 in 35 s with consensus-core 110 + 7, igneum-exec 18, kaspa-pow 15 with the v4 engine and the signal-rule tests, igneum-miner 18, p2p-flows 33, and the app 112 + 26 + 8 exit 0; its closing line "upload incomplete" is the relay blob fault after both test stages closed exit 0). Owed and named: a class-signal witness in the pruning-proof format (a proof-synced node falls back to the floor rule for epochs whose window reaches below its pruning point and logs it), the same class as the era witness |
 
 Facts for the cut from the node lane (docs/plans/counter-asic-3-node.md): the devnet digest moves (c562d70e... to 3c505021...), so the cut is a one-sweep binary rollout and a 0.3.13 node is refused at the handshake afterwards (intended, fleet-wide); a 0.3.13 miner reads the v4 height as never (an optional proto field), so miners and nodes move together; `infra/fast-time/override-60x.json` as committed carried the proving-v1 block twice and lacked four 0.3.12 and 0.3.13 fields (the node refused the file; fixed, with a new CI check `override-json-check.sh`); the 48 GiB target clone `vendor/igneum-node-ca3v4/target-ca3v4` can go after the cut.
 
-THE ONE LINE FOR [user]: class v4 (`mx8+sh256x27`, 100,000 ops per hash in the latency shadow) has passed every gate on the fixed tree (the program-id blocker closed with its own failed case) and is ready for a whole-fleet one-sweep cut (the digest moves) once two gates pass: P1, the rehearsal on the rented fleet as a staging network, and P2, miner-signalled activation (95 percent of mining weight over a window, with a floor height) in place of a fixed height; no date until 0.3.14 has run a clean day; its cost is the 5090 at 431 W instead of 350 for 0.2 percent less rate (a rig pays about 23 percent more electricity), the M5 Max at 37 W instead of 21 for 1.5 percent, the 9070 XT no rate at all (its watts pending), the verifier +0.27 ms per warp; what it buys is the stored-dataset chip's per-joule edge over the 5090 falling from 5.6x to 2.1x at a chip core equal to the GPU's; proposed for a day when no other cut is in flight, not tonight (0.3.14 and the fleet night come first).
