Observer (tools/observer/observer.mjs): reads the execution layer's JSON-RPC of a node on the proving build
(IGNEUM_EVM_RPC, default the Mac app's node 26800): every chain block's shard plan as it joins the chain
(igneum_getShardPlan by blockHash, one live_proofs row per shard, planned), the proof records of the chain
blocks of the last 10 minutes polled in rotation (igneum_getProofRecords, four in flight, 40 blocks per tick
while active, 10 before activation): proving (in the pool), verified (SP1 proof verified, or carried and checked
by consensus), paid (a carrying segment paid it), with the prover's id8, the carrier, lag in DAA and the payout.
live_state.proving = {supported, active, activation_daa, tip_daa, verifier, pool, blocks_10m,
blocks_fully_proven_10m, shards_proven_10m, shards_paid_10m, median_proof_lag_s, provers_10m}. A node without
the RPCs gives supported false (rechecked every 5 min); an unreachable endpoint is retried every 20 s. Events:
proving (activation, first paid shard), prover_seen. Additive schema (live_proofs, live_state.proving).
API (site/api/live.mjs): proving, and per block shards: [{i, n, state, prover, lag, payout (IGN), pgas}] and
proven; ?window=N (30 to 300 s) for the page's diagnostic long view; LIVE_TABLE_PREFIX reads a test observer's
tables.
Live page (site/live.html), the design change of 4 Oct 2026: three thin strips sharing one time axis, newest at
the right. BLOCKS keeps the per-miner lanes, chain path, blue/red/pending colouring, arrival glow and tooltips;
the lock ring, dashed lock line and final band leave it. FINALITY is an 18 px bar: ember wash = final (up to the
newest locked checkpoint on screen), molten tick = locked checkpoint, faint = proposed, one label at the newest
lock ("locked #522, 12 s ago"); while finality is not active it reads "finality paused: N% of weight silent" and
nothing else (R4.6.3). PROVING shows one cell per shard under each chain block, outline (planned), molten
(proving), prover colour (verified), tick (paid), a dashed "proofs land N s behind the tip" line, or the one
honest line before activation ("Proving layer: not yet activated on this devnet; activation at DAA N" / "node
without proving"). Header stats: on screen, chain, identities, last lock, proven. Legend: one line per strip.
Hover and tap tooltips on blocks and cells (block, shard, prover, lag, payout). Lanes snap on resize (they used
to ease from a zero-height layout). Phone width, no horizontal scroll; draw 0.6 ms avg, 1 ms max with 110 blocks
on screen (playwright, 1280 px).
Hero (site/index.html): a faint second glint behind a real block once every shard of it is verified, only while
the proving layer is active; pace and sampling untouched.
Verified on the private 3-node proving network (tools/proving-v0/run.mjs --network-only, activation 60) with a
CPU prover loop signing as v0/v1/v2: records relayed, verified on node 0, carried and paid (block 155 by 405,
lag 259 DAA, 0.634 IGN); screenshots in docs/design/live-proving (devnet before activation at 1280 and 375 px,
test network active, the ?window=300 view with paid cells). The live devnet shows the "not yet activated;
activation not set" line once the observer runs this build.

relay/api/console.mjs reads the log intake (miner_logs) and console_items in Neon, the OTA manifest, the
CI json and the jobs file from the downloads host (DL_TOKEN in the project env, never in the client), and
igneum.network/api/live; 10 s cache per answer. tools/console.mjs: post --kind log|build|note, log, machines,
chain, jobs, builds, results, sync-bench, sync-dl, sync-hetzner, sync, url. The two Mac-side build scripts
post build events. Screenshots at 375 px and desktop in docs/design/console/.

New Vercel project igneum-relay from relay/: one function (api/relay.mjs) over Neon tables relay_items and relay_machines,
files in Vercel Blob store igneum-relay (50 MB client uploads, 4 MB through the function), phone-first web page at /r/<token>/
with the site tokens. Mac CLI tools/relay.mjs (feed, read, drop, task, run, watch, inbox, machines, role, name).
Windows clients send.bat/send.ps1 and the igneum-agent (registers hostname, role, GPUs, WSL, nvcc; runs queued PowerShell
scripts, posts results, reboot-continue via scheduled task + RunOnce), bash twins send.sh and agent.sh (verified live),
playbooks for WSL setup, prover setup, prove-block, miner v4, one-click placeholder. make-clients.sh bakes the secrets
into a zip; the repo copies hold placeholders. Screenshots under docs/design/relay.

One lane per miner ranked by share, overflow in an others lane with a count.
Lane labels in a left gutter in the miner's colour (3-character tag on phones).
No per-block labels: short id on the chain tip, the lock, and on hover or tap
with a canvas tooltip (id, blue, DAA, parents, chain or side). Same-lane
overlaps nudged in a fixed sequence. Chain as one path, side blocks linked to
their first parent only, clamped cubics so no edge becomes a tall loop. Block
size and time scale step down together at density. One rAF loop, DPR aware,
paused when hidden or scrolled out. Final band and lock marker. Before and
after screenshots in docs/design/live-dag.

docs/evidence.md and site/evidence.html: 28 public claims with one of five status labels (7 designed, 3 implemented, 18 tested by the team, 0 reproduced externally, 0 reviewed independently), version or commit, the reproducible test, the result with date and machine, and independent verification (none yet for every row). Evidence link in the homepage nav and the generated pages' nav.
docs/benchmarks/proving-e2e.md: replaces the 20-second shard gate with three fixed workloads, job-received-to-accepted-proof latency, cost per proof, the eligible card list with mining and proving reported separately, the verbatim acceptance standard and the three-unrelated-operator protocol.
docs/plans/funding.md: cost, what is funded (founder's means, the client's 1% fee once there is mining), what waits on revenue, what pauses.
docs/analysis/security-budget.md: emission through six halvings at three price inputs, miners and provers separate from burns, the USD 1M floor and the year it is crossed.
docs/design/payment-routes.md: Mermaid flowchart and table of every flow, with operator, app, team and protocol revenue labelled.

docs/design/execution-layer.md section 10: what the execution-layer branch implements
(D1 to D10, RPC, differential), the devnet rules fixed there, what is missing, the merge
plan with the finality branch. docs/bench-log.md: the 3-node simnet run with numbers.
tools/evm-smoke: viem 2.57 smoke test (fund, 50 transfers, duplicates in parallel blocks,
contract deploy and call, state roots across nodes, export for igneum-exec-diff) and the
solc build of DeveloperRegistry and the Counter test contract.

Pool protocol after Stratum V2 job declaration: member-checked or member-built templates, JSON over TLS, shares at target64 << s on the 32-lane unit, one vote key per operator held by the member, votes relayed and carried by the pool with a chain-only drop test. Light client: trust table, checkpoint-mode bytes per day, pinned seed list, the read-only node API, the homepage card's steps. Phone app: wallet, miner monitor, node card, store rules, build plan on journey.json.

Litepaper Finality: the reorg bound users rely on is the 12-hour finality depth in median time; Kaspa's one-hour merge depth is a merge limit, not a reorganisation bound; first-month sentence and "does not claim" item 4 say the same. Litepaper Speed: emission per block on a schedule keyed to difficulty-adjusted time, reds in the window paid, coins track blocks within the controller's accuracy.
Design 5.5 and D12: the native-execution veto is relative to the carrying block's own selected-parent chain; two-node reorg test added to 8.5.
Ledger P11, F15, E10 statuses and fixes rows 79, 82, 84 updated.

Decision of 3 October 2026: no fee to any team, foundation or fund.
Priority fee now splits 80% to the miners and provers of the block and
20% to the application called, attributed per call frame as before.
No burn of the tip; the base fee is still burned in full on both gas
dimensions. External proving jobs pay 90% to the provers who delivered
and burn 10%. The 60% signalling mechanism stays as a general tool for
parameters that genesis rules leave to miners; upgrades stay at 90%.
Ledger E4 closed by removal; E3, E5, G4, G5, G8, L1 and overclaims
45, 46 and 53 rewritten to the new rule.
