The sweep renders every served page in a headless Chromium at 390, 768, 1024, 1280 and 1600 in light and dark (the hero at rest and at each step), reads every visible run of text and flags text covered by another element, clipped by overflow hidden, or past the viewport; a fixture with one deliberate overlap of each kind is flagged before any sweep is trusted. It runs on a build box when this machine has no browser (infra/build-server/overlap-browser.sh installs Chromium there without root).

Main, 7 October 2026: a 100 s hook gate on the merge commit against a master that moves every minute lost six pushes in a row.
Self-test: a fixture repository (unstamped branch, stamped branch, stale stamp, wrong tip, plain commit, dirty tree).

Main, 7 October 2026, 15:07 UK: one global exclusive measure flock across unrelated measurements stalled build-1 at load 120 with
free slots (a stopped probe held it 5.5 h; an exclusive waiter queued every new shared taker) and build-2 behind a one-core VDF
bench. lease.sh (installed at /srv/builds/_bin/lease by provision.sh and by hand on both boxes) takes one flock per core for a
pinned measurement and the quiet file for a whole-box one; remote-run.sh takes quiet shared only for unbounded runs, excludes
leased cores from its set, and its keeper refreshes the holder file and calls lease reap (a STOPPED holder of a lease, quiet or a
slot for 5 minutes is killed with a line in _log/reaped.log). Keepers close the lock descriptors they inherit (an orphaned sleep
held a slot and the worktree lock 20 s past the release; the slot self-test had rotted on that since the worktree lock landed).
tools/ci/box-locks-check.sh runs lease.sh --self-test and remote-run.sh --self-test-slots on build-1. provision.sh also carries
the 16 libraries headless Chromium needs (installed by hand on both boxes at 14:5x UK) and a headless self-test step.

31 runs were queued on igneum-build-1's one runner at 13:15 UK on 7 October 2026 and nothing had concluded since 13:03Z, so no lane could read a conclusion.
- ci.yml: a `changes` job (ubuntu-latest) classifies the push with tools/ci/docs-only-check.sh (docs/, site/, *.md only = code=false; a new branch, a pull request, a force push or an API error = code=true); pow and sims need it and run only on code=true. The site job is unchanged on ubuntu-latest for every push. The classifier's self-test is in the gate.
- provision.sh and runner/register.sh: `--host <ip>` registers another box, forwarding BOX_HOSTNAME, RUNNER_NAME, RUNNER_LABELS, RUNNER_CPUS and RUNNER_JOBS (plain words only); RUNNER_CPUS writes AllowedCPUs into the service drop-in beside Nice=10, so igneum-build-2's runner is bounded like a suite (32 cores). The pool label is igneum-build-1 (both boxes carry it); ci-red marks the box with the record file and the poster, the default labels carry it, and igneum-build-1 got it through the runners API today.
- ci-red.yml runs on the ci-red label, so the red line always lands where the poster reads it.
- CLAUDE.md: the rule reads "read the conclusion when it lands, own a red before the next push"; pushes are never held.

The class (7 October 2026, 11:26 to 12:47 UK): three fork-gate summaries on ca3-v4-node carried the miners' vote-key hashes under "key" and eight CI runs went red on "no secret file names and no 64-hex secrets in the tree" while the pushing lanes saw nothing: the light gate ran only conflict markers and Windows paths.
- tools/ci/pre-push.sh: never_push_checks() (identity grep, no-secrets) runs on every ref from --hook, and inside the full gate where the identity grep already sat; the self-test asserts the wiring; the light gate is about 20 s on the Mac.
- infra/fast-time/lib/redact-keys.mjs: writeSummary() shortens every 64-hex value under a key-shaped field to 8 hex and an ellipsis and refuses a text the no-secrets rule would flag (line named); --self-test and --check; the gate runs the self-test. fork-gate.mjs adopts it on ca3-v4-node.

the project lead, 7 October 2026 15:02 UK: build-1 at load 139 / 114 / 90 with both slots held and a 1 h 40 min queue while build-2 read 4.5 with
free slots, because the class router pinned each class to its box. Now lib.sh bs_route_spill reads the preferred box (free slots,
1-minute load) with one ssh and hands the job to the other box when the preferred one has no free slot or sits above load 64 and the
other qualifies; neither qualifying queues on the class's own box. The decision travels as BR_ROUTE_* into the JSONL "route" object
for the dashboard. build-2's slots file reads 3; everything on box 2 runs at nice 10 / 32 cores / -j 32, and a bounded run takes
the band its slot owns so three never share a core. Self-test tools/ci/route-spill-check.sh (thirteen cases) in the gate.

The box mirrors carry no infra/, so the test skipped there and the gaps showed only on the Mac and in the class v5 lane's run.

infra/fast-time/fork-gate.mjs: H1 and H2 honest and mining through every phase, B the third node; modes attack (B's
key fresh, 3 of 5 CPU threads in the split), third (B at about half of the table, accepted) and partition (H1 against
H2, the heavier side wins with the gate on as with it off). A reorg is read from the chain (getVirtualChainFromBlock
of the pre-cut tip lists removed blocks), never from a key; blue work compared as BigInt; leftovers stopped by pid
file, never by name. infra/fast-time/fork-gate-gate.mjs runs the six cases side by side (known-failed first) and is
GREEN only when every case gives the verdict it must and the two partition heals agree. tools/fast-time-remote.sh
runs a harness on a build box under a slot with a holder line and a JSONL row (the node binaries from a fork
worktree's target on the box, results fetched back); it carries the whole-body block and is listed in the check.

The dashboard lane, 7 October 2026 10:39Z: both slots of build-1 flock-held and EMPTY while two suites ran. Cause: a run from a
worktree without last night's append-mode fix opens a busy sibling's slot file with > on every probe. The holder now keeps its own
line: a keeper re-writes it within BR_KEEP_S (20 s) whenever the file is empty, until release; remote-run.sh --self-test-keeper
(in the gate) truncates a held line and sees it return, and sees nothing written after release; live on build-1 at 11:19Z (the
line came back in 25 s). The first version deadlocked the runner's bare wait with the keeper (build-2's first run hung 15 min
after its test passed): the keeper stops before the wait. The two running suites' -j 90 came from explicit --jobs 90: a bounded
class now clamps it to its cap with a log line (pass --priority gate for the full set). run-from-mac.sh --box N: the host file
was suffixed twice (build-server-2-2) and every box's mirror would have shared one remote name; one remote per box (build-N).
build-2's first green run: a suite at nice 10 on 32 cores, jobs 32, 986 s cold.

The build-server agent has igneum-build-2 and -3 on order (suites and benches; proving and the fast-time nodes). The
installer takes a host argument (N reads ~/.config/igneum/build-server-N, or build@<ip>); the pusher drops the Mac and
PC facts on every box it has a host file for, pulls each box's file and publishes boxes[] (box stays the first for the
old shape); the page draws one server section and one crew card per box, reads every box's Caddy feed in parallel
(build, build-2, build-3.igneum.network) with the edge copy filling any box that does not answer, and merges every
box's builds into the lanes, the timeline and the analytics. Nothing changes for build-1 until the host files exist.

Main's order of 7 October 2026 (igneum-build-2, AX162-1, and igneum-build-3, AX102-1, on order). lib.sh: bs_box_file N and
bs_route <class>; a class whose box has no host file yet falls back to box 1 and says so. run-from-mac.sh --box N <ip> provisions
igneum-build-N and writes build-server-N. tools/build-remote.sh --box N overrides the route; --priority gate always runs on box 1;
the proving crate routes to box 3. README.md: the kind map and the project lead's rule, no mining on any Hetzner box, ever (nodes, builds, tests,
benchmarks and CPU proving only; the pool's fast-time network mines on rented GPU pods, never on build-3). capacity/run.sh refuses a
job that would start igneum-miner mine or a GPU worker, whatever SEQUENCE says.

Main's order of 7 October 2026 after a load of 190 on 96 threads (a release join bench and the 0.3.19 app gate starving each
other, 'builds' of 16 minutes). tools/build-remote.sh resolves a class from the cargo subcommand and --priority: test and bench are
the bounded class (nice 10, the last 32 cores, -j 32) unless --priority gate (nice 0, the full set, the box's own jobs rule);
builds and checks are unchanged. remote-run.sh applies renice and taskset to the command's subshell, caps the jobs, lets a queued
gate (gate-pending-<pid>) take the next slot ahead of suites and benches, and prints nice and cores in the RESULT line and the
JSONL line (nice, cores, priority). The slot label carries '; kind=<k> nice=<n> cores=<c>' before '; agent=', so the dashboard's
job card shows why a job is slow. --plan prints the resolved class without the box; tools/ci/build-kind-default-check.sh (in the
gate) holds the five shapes. Smoke on the box: a suite at jobs=32 nice=10 cores=32, a gate at nice=0 cores=96.

docs/design/genesis-forward.md names the three fields, their defaults, the digest change and the gates; spec 03 W1 and W5
amended and the W5 implementation row filled; spec 01 the cache rung beside the schedule; spec 04 the class-group VDF's
quantum fallback flagged, not sized; infra/fast-time/key-succession.mjs (3 nodes, one CPU miner each: the window fills,
a succession carried once on every node, refused twice, scheme 1 refused by every node; the known-failed case
--expect no-succession first); override-60x.json carries the four new keys at never.

remote-run.sh checkout_tree ran `git clean -fd` on the box mirror before every build from any agent, so the attack rows
lost attack-f3/, attack-f1-venv/ and tools/attack/*/target to each other's builds (7 October 2026, 09:2x UK). The clean now
also spares the fixed prefixes attack-*, scratch-*, target-attack-*, .build-remote.log and every glob in the mirror-local
.igneum-scratch-spare (one per line, # comments, the file itself spared), keeps the target and stamp excludes and still runs
without -x. The clean-tree test asks `git clean -nd` with the same excludes instead of filtering the status list, so a spared
dir is not "not clean". --self-test: a fixed-prefix dir at the root and nested, a declared dir and the spare file survive, an
undeclared dir is removed. tools/ci/scratch-spare-check.sh in the pre-push gate fails when the clean line loses the spare
arguments, spare_args stops reading the file, a fixed prefix goes, or -x appears. docs/plans/build-server.md R4a says how a
lane declares its prefix.

the project lead added the read-only deploy key on 7 October 2026 (SHA256:51ice3W8...). The sync still said 'mirror' because ssh -T to GitHub
exits 1 after its greeting and observer-sync.sh runs under pipefail, so su ... | grep -q reported failure although grep had
matched (the same line by hand, without pipefail, said authenticated; shown under the unit's environment with systemd-run -v).
The probe's output is captured first. First github pass 07:30:54 UTC: the clone moved from the mirror's d79f4a6 to origin/master
8b878ba4, the observer restarted on it.
