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 F3 record and its harness crate (tools/attack/f3-cache: the extracted chain,
the exhaustive closure search, the pebbling cross-check, the store-set DP and
brute force, the two planted broken chains). The optimal-placement observation
(3.17 blocks per read at f=1/8, 16.0 at f=1/64) noted against funding.md B2.

Primary sources confirmed by the coordinator, 7 October 2026: the Antminer X9
took pre-orders from 26 December 2025, was withdrawn in mid-May 2026 with
refunds before any unit shipped, has no independent benchmark, and was
commodity Sophgo SG2044 SoCs with no tapeout. The headline stays 2.1x per joule
over the 5090 at class v4 and k = 1 with 3.9x at k about 0.33 as the pessimistic
bound; the economic row added. The ladder design doc's section 5a rides branch
attack-ladder-5a. Served-text rows stay with the site lane.

The chip-model sweep reproduces the numbers (2.1x at k=1 GDDR7, 3.9x at k=0.33,
matching fud-ledger M32). The finding is the framing: M32 calls k=0.33 the X9's
measured core and the ladder branch section 5a calls it a measured class, but
the Antminer X9 was withdrawn before launch and never benchmarked, so k=0.33 is
a claimed datasheet bound. This also questions the merged ledger X34 (RandomX
has a shipping chip). The public X9 sentences are held unchanged until the
coordinator research agent confirms the withdrawal; the re-cut is specified.

The internal cryptanalysis pass before the freeze tag cryptanalysis-target-1
(docs/plans/cryptanalysis.md 4.2). Ten rows with method, known-failed shape,
gate and status. Landed: F5 chip-model sweep (the 2.1x per joule edge over the
5090 at v4 and k=1 reproduces exactly on the GDDR7 measured-anchor column; AWS
F2 hour skipped, no AWS account on this Mac; X9 k=0.33 carried as a claimed
pessimistic bound from a withdrawn design, with the NRE-recovery economic row);
F6 verifier v4 average 4.90 to 5.06 ms one-core cold, 8.23 ms half-core proxy,
under the 10 ms gate (worst-case 10^5 search and the laptop run owed). The rest
are RUNNING or, for F9 header grinding, BLOCKED on the PC 2 or rented-pod go.

Light theme shows light screenshots on the miner and app pages (the
0.3.16 renders from the RTX 5090 Windows rig's live state, the 390 px
pair included). The X9 never shipped: pre-orders 26 December 2025,
withdrawn mid-May 2026 before any unit shipped, no benchmark; every
public sentence that had it shipping now says so, with k about 0.33
labelled as the claimed, unmeasured core; ledger X36, notes on X34, X35,
M34 and C2. Every public Discord link is https://discord.gg/igneum.

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.

The owner's word this morning: the 56 px header, the eleven-word
statement, two buttons, the step scene full bleed, three facts, the
downloads and one line to the ledger. Kept from the nights since: the
X31 testnet sentence, the X35 chip range with k stated, the Discord
line. The RandomX correction (X34), G4, C2 and X8 stand on the
litepaper; the ledger notes and the text check say so. The app showcase
moves to the miner page in the next step.

Main's order of 7 October 2026 after RunPod's Ubuntu 22.04 canaries (glibc 2.35) refused the box's GLIBC_2.38 binaries and HiveOS
turned out Ubuntu 20.04 based (2.31). The table lives once, in tools/ci/glibc-ceiling-check.sh (--class, --ceiling-of; self-test
covers the table, an unknown class and a 2.34 need against hive); tools/build-remote.sh --ship hive|rig|seed|linux (default seed)
and tools/workers-remote.sh --class (default rig) build with zig at the class's glibc and check against it. provision.sh installs
docker.io (user build in the docker group) for the proof. Proof: fork 3bfe346f at class hive, igneumd and igneum-miner need
GLIBC_2.30; the workers at class rig need GLIBC_2.17; all four run in ubuntu:20.04 (ldd 2.31) and ubuntu:22.04 (ldd 2.35) and
print their version or usage lines (the OpenCL worker its own no-libOpenCL message, the binary running in a GPU-less container).

The previous commit's plan edit aborted on a changed anchor, so section 5c was missing; written now with the public half
(ssh-ed25519 ... igneum-build-1 observer read-only) and the CI-runner row closed. observer-sync.sh ran git rev-parse as root
against the build-owned clone (safe.directory refused it, 'up to date at' with no commit); every git call runs as build now.
Verified on the box: one sync pass prints 'source: mirror (the deploy key is not accepted by GitHub yet ...)' and the commit.

The previous commit's 'the workers at 2.36' was not yet true: the first zig build died on __isoc23_strtol because -I /usr/include
for CL/cl.h put Ubuntu's glibc 2.39 stdlib.h in front of zig's bundled 2.36 headers. Fixed; proof on the box (6 s):
igneum-worker-cuda 6,759,272 B sha256 690c8e91..., igneum-worker-opencl 307,264 B sha256 329fb6a9..., each needing GLIBC_2.34
and libc only, the ceiling check passing. The two static flags zig ignores are dropped on the zig path (zig links its libc++ in).

Main's order of 7 October 2026 after a seed took 14 restarts and three minutes down on a glibc 2.39 binary. provision.sh:
step_zig (zig 0.17.0 from ziglang.org, sha256 from the official download index) and cargo-zigbuild 0.23.4 in the cargo tools.
tools/build-remote.sh --ship [--glibc 2.36]: cargo zigbuild --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.2.36 with zig as the C/C++
toolchain (the Mac's infra/cross/build-linux.sh recipe), artefacts from the target-triple dir, each checked by
tools/ci/glibc-ceiling-check.sh (need at most the ceiling; self-test fires on 2.38 against 2.36, passes 2.34 and 2.36;
--symbols reads a saved objdump -T text so CI needs no ELF tools). tools/workers-remote.sh builds the two GPU workers with
zig at 2.36 by default (GLIBC=native for clang). Proof on the box: fork 3bfe346f igneumd needs GLIBC_2.34 (47,023,120 B,
sha256 345dfb95...), igneum-miner GLIBC_2.34 (9,248,808 B, d09dc27b...), 3 min 17 s cold through zig; the workers at 2.36.
Rule: anything that ships to a seed or a HiveOS rig is built with --ship; a plain build (glibc 2.39) is for the box and
Ubuntu 24.04 hosts only.

docs/plans/hands-on-build-1.md section 6: the move of 6 October 2026 23:06 to 23:22 UTC, observer node, observer, node 1, unload,
each hand's first executing line, digest eada4bda MATCH, IBD and acceptance, the open readback (the Mac's Miner app has not
started its own node since 26610/26611 were freed). lib.sh: the shipper's class from the 0.3.17 tree, the fork's igneum-exec
embeds proving/igneum-prove/elf/*.vk by include_bytes! five levels up, which is no path dependency; every .rs in the trees that
travel is scanned for include_bytes!/include_str! paths leaving the crate's repository and their directories join the overlay;
proving/igneum-prove/elf is the fixed fallback for a fork build. move-hand.sh: igneumd --version exits 1 (tolerated; it ended
the binary step before the override was written), and the launchd pid lookup used \s in macOS awk (printed 'pid none').

The X9 made the k = 0.33 column of the chip model a product class, so
every public sentence that stated 2.1x alone now states 2.1x (k = 1) to
3.9x (k about 0.33), with the ladder's second rung taking the X9 bracket
to about 2.8x. The ladder lane's litepaper paragraph 'The work that waits
can grow' and ledger row M34 are taken from branch ladder (7003f9f, those
two hunks only) so the ladder is on the site before the code ships.
