Pool-0: welcome carries software_dev_fee_percent beside the pool fee, the page's Fees row and site/miner.html say pool-0 charges the same 1 percent as the solo dev fee; jobs and seeds carry the latency ladder's rung for 0.3.19.
TLS (pool/src/tls.rs): --tls-cert/--tls-key or --tls-self-signed (a P-256 pair under the data dir, the certificate pin printed at start); the binding is the member's BLS signature over this connection's exporter (label EXPORTER-igneum-pool-binding, context the chain id), refused on any other connection; testnet and mainnet refuse the clear without --allow-plain. HiveOS: pools:// and POOL_PIN.
Page rows: node state in words (Q68), one formatter set and luck in MiningPoolStats' convention (Q69), samples and check costs persisted (Q70), payments under the lookup (Q71), hourly history with a sparkline, --alert-webhook, /metrics, /health on the node (Q72), the network's finality state beside "payouts follow blue confirmation, not finality" (Q73).
The open pool (pool/src/sidechain.rs, open.rs, p2p.rs; igneum-pool --open): the member's own node and daemon, no payout key, no balance; every coinbase carries the member's own address, the share chain's parent (IGNS) and the window's split (IGNP); templates re-stamped on a new chain tip without a node call; shares gossiped and checked by every member (structure, the node's seeds, the PoW); heaviest work wins, a fork's loser is stale; the dev fee as one split entry; shares.log and verify-share for the drop proof; the gate harness pool/tools/open-gate.mjs. The node side (the executor's split from pool_split_activation_daa) is on the fork branch pool-finish-node.

pm-1, 7 October 2026: the member was idle for four intervals while its worker compiled, the first-phase idle easing
set first_done, and the measured 190 shares a second then walked down one step per 30 s for 5.5 minutes (the share
check at 10 to 11 ms on pool-1's cores). The sized correction now stays owed through idle easings (test
an_idle_easing_does_not_consume_the_sized_first_correction). Section 9.3: 207 found / 144 confirmed / 56 own orphans
under 2f6c0358, the residual as the node's 1 to 1.6 s template latency (a node-lane row), the member findings.

7 October 2026, 06:01Z and 06:12:55Z on pool-1: confirm_loop restarted its chain walk from the pruning point on any
failed getVirtualChainFromBlock and then fetched every chain block since (about 120,000) over the one connection the
templates used; one timed-out request under four parallel template fetches started it, every template request after it
timed out, no job was issued, 105 blocks on stale templates were orphans. Now: a second GrpcClient (pool.walker) for the
walk and the network numbers; a failed chain call keeps its cursor (the sink only when the node no longer knows it;
cursor_after_failure, node::walk_tests); at most 600 chain blocks per tick with a line saying so; a start with pending
blocks walks from the sink and says that older ones resolve by the orphan rule. docs/plans/pool.md section 9.2: the
re-run's record (the class question closed on pm-1 and pm-2, 71,240 shares, 0 mismatches), the cause, what stays open.
Suite 24 of 24 on igneum-build-1. Protocol and API unchanged.

(cherry picked from commit c686d8fc2e)
The fleet agent's row from the 6 October night: the daemon ran 20 minutes as a process serving nothing while its node
answered no template and its member port had been held. Now main binds the member and API listeners before anything
else (server::bind_listener; a failure is "POOL NOT STARTED: cannot bind the members listener on <addr>: <os error>",
exit 2), probes the node for a template with pow_epoch, retried for --node-wait-secs (default 60) with a line per
attempt, else exit 3, and prints a STATUS line every 30 s (members, jobs issued, shares, blocks, template failures, the
node's state: ok, NODE NOT ANSWERING, NO TEMPLATE YET). fetch_job counts template failures and the last success.
Test server::bind_tests: a held port is refused with the address in the message, the freed port binds. Suite 23 of 23
on igneum-build-1. Protocol and API unchanged.

docs/plans/miner-faults.md: MF-1 to MF-7, each with its rule, test and gate line.
- MF-1/MF-2: a worker starts and is judged only when the node is READY (synced and igneum_getExecStatus reports an
executed tip; execrpc::probe every 5 s off the engine thread); the node watchdog never counts the catch-up (settled
once read synced; 30 min cap before that; any RPC answer is a sign of life); the watchdog restarts on a ladder 10 s,
30 s, 2 min, 5 min, then every 5 min for ever (watchdog::RETRY_LADDER_S); the faulted state and the one-restart
budget are gone (tools/ci/permanent-fault-check.sh in the gate); a node-caused restart resets the ladder at sync.
- MF-3: the hot-plug pass starts a recovered or revived card's worker (unchanged rule, now in the register).
- MF-4: the status clock starts at ready (program loaded), loading bounded by 300 s; a self-test failure holds the
card 30 min with the reason on its row, released on a driver change; a crash loop climbs the ladder; the pack is
exported once a minute for every card (a refused pack forces one).
- MF-5: the app reads template_wait=, template_ms=, identities_active= from the 0.3.20 miner's STATUS; waiting on
the node is never the card's fault; the row says node slow; every node-wait label clears on the first rate.
- MF-6: a miners hold belongs to the job that took it and releases when that job is gone or at its own cap.
- MF-7: the engine owns every igneum-miner it started: an untracked one on this engine's node RPC is killed at start,
after every stop and every minute, one line and one fault report per kill; a restart kills the old process first.
- Every fault line posts one FAULT line to the log intake (label fault-<id8>, app and node version, 60/h cap).
- The signed cards job kind (per card enabled, identities, power_pct; refused for a card the machine lacks; applied
through the app's own card path, persisted, read back): packaging/ota/publish-jobs.sh add --kind cards.
- LG-4 as a job: relay/playbooks/first-share.ps1 and tools/fleet/first-share-gate.mjs (no Windows box yet).
- tools/reliability: the fault injector with one step per class (catch-up, card-appears, own-restart, zero-ladder,
no-status, node-silent, one-card-fails, orphan-miner); fake-worker.mjs lists devices and fails self-tests on command.
- master's build tooling (d4bc5a94) and release-0.3.20's igneum-pow taken into the worktree for the box routes.
Box: app 198 + 27 + 8 tests green on igneum-build-2; the tree gate green (33 checks).

(cherry picked from commit 4f8b37b6be)
the project lead: can the drivers be packaged with the miner, for all cards, with the system knowing which to install if not
present. Not bundled: detected and installed on one click. A per-vendor table rides the signed manifest (drivers.json:
min_version, the version on offer, the vendor's URL, size, sha256 and its source page, the silent arguments, the
restart exit codes, the Authenticode signer, the Linux and HiveOS package), validated by the signer and the app alike
(src/drivertable.rs, shared), written to <app data>/drivers.json by ota.rs. Each card's driver version is read at
every detection (nvidia-smi's driver_version; Windows' DriverVersion for AMD and Intel) and compared; a missing or
old driver puts the offer on the card's row, on the dashboard and on the first-run list. The click downloads with
curl (resume), checks size, sha256 and the Authenticode subject, runs the installer through one elevated prompt
(platform::elevated_command, the PC 1 driver job's shape), reports restart required with a Restart now button, and
never restarts by itself; the miners keep mining. macOS: no step; Linux and HiveOS: the package line. Dry run through
IGNEUM_DRIVER_DRY_RUN or the table. Tests: the table, the versions, the offers per tier, the exit codes, the
Authenticode verdicts, the download against a mocked vendor server on 127.0.0.1, the UI's strip per state; the mock's
drivers scenarios; captures light and dark in docs/plans/driver-check-shots. publish-manifest.sh --drivers carries the
table. Also the doubled #[test] in detect.rs from the cherry-pick.
