The sweep (main's item 1): 199 tracked text files, 783 lines. The founder's full name, first name and possessive become "the founder" (sentence starts capitalised); the lowercase operating-system user name in WSL paths and commands becomes <user>; the second owner login becomes "the second owner login"; the three earlier businesses and the two other brands become "the other business", "the earlier entity", "the earlier business" and "another brand"; the Chrome profile rule names the igneum.network profile, not the profile's label. The standing commit login igneum-labs is not a founder term here: the fresh-repository step renames it in the history (docs/plans/history-rewrite.md, tools/repo/fresh-repo.sh).
The patterns never appear in plain text in the tree (a plaintext list would be the hit): tools/ci/founder-strings.b64 (perl regex, tab, a sample per row) is read by tools/ci/founder-strings-check.sh (every tracked text file, perl, known-failed first: the self-test plants each row's sample in a fixture and the hit must name the file), by tools/community/discord-hooks.mjs (the guard's founder and business rows; the test takes its fixtures from the samples) and by tools/repo/fresh-repo.sh (the business names of the rewrite rules). site/forbidden-strings.txt carries the same patterns as b64: lines, decoded case-insensitive by site/scrub.mjs and tools/ci/launch-gates-check.mjs (whose fixture now plants an encoded made-up name). The check runs in the gate's tree checks on every merge.
Not in this commit, by main's word: the 105 commit messages and 40 personal-identity commits that need the history rewrite (listed, not run), and the secrets found by gitleaks over the history (reported with owners).

A new Hetzner account is capped at 10 primary IPs (IPv4 and IPv6 both count), 20 shared vCPUs, 8 dedicated
vCPUs and no Arm, and a network cannot span zones. So: one private network per zone (10.20.<zone>.0/24),
the lowest-index node of each zone keeps a public IPv4 and is its gateway (NAT, MSS clamp, one DNAT port
27000+index per private node, persisted as igneum-nat.service), every other node has no public address.
nodes.tsv gains access, pub and port columns; lib resolves same-zone vs cross-zone dial addresses and jumps
ssh through the gateway for private nodes. All nodes.tsv loops read on fd 3 (a backgrounded ssh drained the
file). TYPE_BY_INDEX puts nodes 8 to 11 on ccx13; node 12 is the last shared one the account allows.
create.sh prints the plan's cost from the live API. provision.sh install takes node names and skips binaries
whose sha256 matches. Binaries copied from the seed's staged v4 build (same sources), no vCPU for a builder.
Results 2026-10-04: RTT matrix (hel1-fsn1 35 ms, ash-sin 289 ms) and a 10-minute propagation window of 644
blocks: p50 343 ms, p90 497 ms, p99 666 ms across 12 nodes in 5 locations.

igneum-seed-1 (Hetzner cx23, fsn1, 188.245.5.161:26611): built on the VM in 1,530 s, synced to the live devnet
(12,204 blocks, same sink as the live node) through a non-mining relay igneumd on the Mac (the live node's addPeer
RPC is refused in safe mode); the live node and the Windows PC learned the seed's address by peer exchange and dialled
it. seeds.txt written. Hetzner prices corrected to USD (pricing API currency) in the plans, READMEs and scripts;
current-generation types per location (cx23 EU, cpx22 sin, cpx21 US) in the cloud-devnet config.
