The console-window class (the project lead, 5 October 2026: "Windows Command Processor" windows on PC 1 whenever a remote job runs).
Measured on PC 1 (ae432dc7, Windows 11 Pro 26200, default terminal "Let Windows decide" = Windows Terminal 1.24) with
tools/windows/console-watch.ps1 (job run-20261005-182528): no child a job script starts from the app's headless
console opens a window (powershell, cmd, query, curl, nvidia-smi, wsl --status, a distro, interop cmd and powershell,
powershell -WindowStyle Hidden: 0 windows each); Start-Process in a new console opens a Terminal window (the known-failed
case: 2 windows), the same with -WindowStyle Hidden opens none (the known-finished case). The elevated path
(Start-Process -Verb RunAs -WindowStyle Hidden through the AppInfo service) is the one road left; its watcher
(console-watch-elevated.ps1, job run-20261005-184610) was cancelled at the UAC prompt.
- platform.rs: elevated_ps_line + elevated_command build the one PowerShell line every elevated launch uses (the NVIDIA
power cap, the sweep helper, the clock sync, an elevated remote job), -WindowStyle Hidden by construction; unit
tests on the line, the quoting and the Command.
- jobrun.rs: the elevated job path uses it; the relaunch helper's Start-Process carries the reason it has no
-WindowStyle Hidden (igneum-app.exe is a windows-subsystem program).
- tools/ci/windows-spawn-check.mjs (+ ci.yml): fails when a Command::new in app/igneum-app/src is not quieted,
a creation_flags is not CREATE_NO_WINDOW alone, a Start-Process the Rust code writes lacks -WindowStyle Hidden or
-NoNewWindow, or host.cpp spawns without CREATE_NO_WINDOW / SW_HIDE; self-test on known-good and known-bad samples.
- tools/windows/console-watch.ps1, console-watch-bg.ps1, console-watch-elevated.ps1: the watchers (run jobs).

PC 1, 22:31 UTC: the installed engine's quit hung 24 minutes in the jobs runner's abort, waiting for EOF on the script's
stdout pipe whose write end the second engine and its miners had inherited (Process.Start with redirection inherits
every inheritable handle), while the orphaned miners mined on against the relaunched app.

The app's install clears the jobs folder on a PC, so a run job whose kit was fetched by an earlier fetch job finds
nothing after an update and fails in seconds (5 October 2026, 21:49Z, the AMD kit; bench-log 4df339f). Rule: a run
playbook that reaches a path under the jobs folder other than its own tests the kit is there before its first use,
and the fetch is republished under a new id after any app update.
tools/ci/kit-path-check.sh reads every *.ps1 under relay/playbooks/ and tools/. A kit root is a path derived from
the jobs folder (`$jobs = Split-Path $env:IGNEUM_JOB_DIR` then `Join-Path $jobs '<fetch id>'`, the race-5090.ps1
shape) or one carrying a literal `jobs\` (the amd-card-test.ps1 shape); every path built from it belongs to that kit.
A presence check (Test-Path, [IO.File]::Exists, [IO.Directory]::Exists, Get-Item or Get-ChildItem with -ErrorAction)
on the root or anything under it covers the whole kit. A use before that line fails with "kit path used before a
presence check: republish the fetch after any app update", as does a literal jobs\ path in a command with no check.
The job's own folder ($env:IGNEUM_JOB_DIR) is not a kit path.
Fixtures: kit-path-ok.ps1 (both shapes, checked; a sibling pack file covered by the worker's check) and
kit-path-unchecked.ps1 (the worker run before its check, a literal never checked); --self-test asserts the lines.
Wired into ci.yml after the bash-body step, and into publish-jobs.sh add --kind run beside the other two checks;
test-publish-jobs.sh gains the refusal (34 passed, 0 failed). The current tree: race-5090.ps1 is the one playbook
with a kit, checked before use. README-ship.md: the rule.

A PC job is published from a worktree by packaging/ota/publish-jobs.sh and never passes CI before it runs; tonight
the root-socket fault came back from a job on a branch without the check. `add --kind run` now runs, on the script
being published and before anything is signed: tools/ci/bash-body-check.sh for a PowerShell script (every inline
bash body parses; a body it cannot read fails, never skips), `bash -n` for a .sh script, and
tools/ci/prover-socket-check.sh for both (a root prover run kills sp1-gpu-server and unlinks its socket). A failure
refuses the publish with the check's output; a missing check file refuses too. Kinds without a script (fetch,
collect, restart, update-now, shard-benchmark, build) are untouched.
tools/ci/prover-socket-check.sh is copied from proving-v1 (344cba8; master lacks it) with two additions: file
arguments check those files only (the publisher's call), and an allow list for packaging/ota/test-publish-jobs.sh,
which carries a known-bad root prover script on purpose. Its ci.yml step is left to proving-v1 to avoid a duplicate.
packaging/ota/test-publish-jobs.sh: four refusals (a lost quote in a PowerShell bash body, an unreadable body, a
.sh with a lost quote, a root prover script without the cleanup) and the envelope unchanged after a refusal.
32 passed, 0 failed on this Mac with the main checkout's signer. packaging/README-ship.md: the publish-time gate.

The known-failed case, from PC 2's 0.3.9 log (run win-1ccfe586-20261005-200114): 1791234223 pause -> 'stopping the
miners (paused)' (every slot's restart_at cleared, the 5090 'off'); 1791235511 '[ok] mining resumed'; then
'0.00 MH/s, waiting' at every 30-s status line until the 0.3.10 restart at 21:49:41Z. Cause: Cmd::Resume re-armed
only slots whose watchdog said faulted; the 5090's slot was healthy and stopped, so nothing restarted it. The test
the_pc2_resume_of_21_25_11z_restarts_under_the_new_rule_and_not_the_old encodes that slot (faulted false, live
false): the old rule returns [] (the defect), the new rule [0]. cargo test -p igneum-app resume: 3 passed;
provedefault: 6 passed.

Twice on 5 October 2026 a PowerShell job script carried a bash body inside a string, a quote was lost on the way
through PowerShell, and bash refused the body: pc1-cpu-prove.ps1 (first version) reported exit 0 having done
nothing, the 0.3.10 installer job failed in 4 s. tools/amd-prove/check-job-bash.sh covered only its own here-string.
tools/ci/bash-body-check.sh reads every *.ps1 under relay/playbooks/ and tools/, finds each bash body however it is
handed over (bash -c "...", bash -lc '...', bash -c $var, a + concatenation in parentheses, the Start-Process argument
list, a here-string written to a file that is later run with bash), unescapes it the way PowerShell would (backtick
escapes and "" in double-quoted strings, '' in single-quoted strings, here-strings verbatim; $var left as-is, a $(...)
subexpression replaced by ${PS_SUBEXPR}), and runs bash -n on it. One line per body with the file line of the error.
A body it sees but cannot read is "unextractable body" and fails too: a skip would be a hole in the class check.
bash 3.2 compatible; python3 for the extractor.
--self-test runs three fixtures under tools/ci/fixtures/: the correct shapes (8 bodies, must pass), the lost quotes
(the awk apostrophe, a dropped closing quote in a literal and in a variable; must fail with the line), and three
unreadable bodies (must fail). Wired into ci.yml next to the copied-sources check, self-test first. The current tree:
7 inline bodies in 3 playbooks, all parse. packaging/README-ship.md: the job-script rule (body to a file, bash <file>).

the project lead, 5 October 2026, 22:45 BST: "make sure we have ember tuning every single card for efficiency out of the box, the
more data = the better the tune, make an awesome system." Built on lever 3 (docs/plans/miner-eff.md), lever 2's signed
tuning section (docs/design/miner-tuning.md), the AMD telemetry helper (423936b, its --tune/--set-gmax/--set-plimit/
--reset contract) and the Power control switch (057f0ec). Design, data flow, tiers and the privacy line:
docs/plans/ember-tune.md.
- src/ember.rs (new): two knobs per card (power limit %, core clock cap MHz; memory clock never touched), the full plan
(power ladder 100..50%, then the clock ladder 90..60% at the chosen power), the confirm plan (the fleet prior and one
neighbour), the baseline plan (measure only), the marks (faulted, hot, memory_clock_dropped, unapplied, no_readings),
the choice (best MH/W within 1% of the top rate, then rate, then draw), the fleet record (a hash of the install id,
no address), the prior lookup and the kill switch (tuning.ember), the state machine on a fake clock. 9 unit tests.
- engine.rs: tick_sweep schedules every NVIDIA, AMD and Apple card (120 s steady, 600 s to the boundary, no job hold,
no pause, weekly, again after a driver major or program-class change, never under the manifest kill switch); the
probe (nvidia-smi clocks.max.gr + driver_version and the direct/helper mode; igneum-gpu-telemetry --tune for AMD);
tune_apply (nvidia-smi -pl / -lgc 0,<MHz> / -rgc directly or through the helper; the AMD helper per request);
Cmd::TuneProbe, Cmd::TuneSet; faults from rejected and mismatched hashes mark the step; the TUNE lines and the TUNE
{json} record, uploaded with the log; the Tuned line on the card state. The NVIDIA helper starts only with Power
control on: the --sweep job never counts as permission (no prompt on a PC with nobody there).
- sweep.rs: the helper protocol gains lgc/rgc (clock cap and reset) and resets the clocks after 20 idle minutes.
- state.rs, config.rs: the tune fields (clock cap, driver, class, source, the Tuned line); the nvidia-smi telemetry
query carries clocks.gr and clocks.mem; the AMD sample line's plimit_pct and gmax_mhz are parsed.
- ui: "Tuned: X MH/s at Y W (Z MH/W)" with the point, the source and when; measure-only cards say why; the Ember Tune
switch; tune-line.test.mjs.
- relay/lib/ember.mjs + relay/test/ember.test.mjs: the aggregation per (card model | driver major | program class):
median point, MH/W, spread, samples, machines; five samples converge, an outlier does not move the median, baselines
make no prior, de-duplication, the manifest merge keeps lever 2's cards. api/console.mjs fn=tuning and
tools/console.mjs tuning; tools/tuning.mjs --priors [--write tuning.json] [--site] [--tuning-off].
- site: the fleet priors table on /miners (site/miner-priors.json), the lever text.
- relay/playbooks/ember-tune-pc1.ps1: the PC 1 run (second engine with --sweep from a scratch copy of the install).
Measured tonight: see the bench log entry that follows the PC 1 run. The 9070 XT left PC 1's bus at 20:40 UTC and the
5090 needs the administrator prompt the project lead cannot answer asleep, so tonight's PC 1 run is the baseline plan on the 5090
through the whole pipeline; the two-knob tune on both cards is owed.

main.swift: servePackProgram reads program.h with the packfile.h checks (generator 2 or 3, the class line against
the generator, the seed bytes, IGNEUM_SEEDW_INIT against attempt_words, class and era against the line) and
compiles program_bound.metal; the program store keys on (seed, class, era); a v3 job with no resident v3 pack
program answers need + error; v2 lines unchanged (Swift generation, the variant race); a pack program never races.
verify.rs: Epoch::chain_dataset_day(day, class, days_since_genesis, genesis_dataset_log2) and days_since_genesis,
the entry the node builds every day cache through (the ca2-mixer growth rule fills the body).

the project lead, 5 October 2026: "if we don't have to ask then don't ask". The NVIDIA power cap and the efficiency sweep need
administrator rights (one UAC prompt); PC 1 raised that prompt for cmd.exe at every app start and every sweep attempt
(17:00, 17:30, 18:12, 19:04 UTC today, each cancelled unanswered after 2 minutes; the "Windows Command Processor"
the project lead saw).
- config.rs: `power_control` (default OFF on every machine); `sweep` default becomes off and is implied by it (an
install carrying sweep = true without power_control is migrated to off on load).
- engine.rs: `elevation_allowed(power_control, sweep_only)` gates the power cap (`power_cap_plan` builds nothing when
off, the card note says so), the sweep scheduler, Sweep now, the sweep helper; no prompt on quit (the limits reset at
the next reboot); no second prompt through PowerShell when the window host's prompt goes unanswered.
Cmd::PowerControl(on): on = ONE prompt at that moment (every NVIDIA cap in one step), off = nothing asks;
`power_control_after_prompt` turns a refused, cancelled or unanswered prompt into "power control off:
administrator rights were not given" (switch back off, sweep off, no retries). Unit tests: off builds no elevated
command; on + refusal gives the notice; rights given keeps it on.
- platform.rs: `elevated_failure` maps the launcher's exit 251 and the "canceled" wording to the prompt, any other
code to the step itself.
- server.rs: POST /api/power/control {on}. ui: the Power control switch with the line "Windows asks for administrator
rights once; the cap and the sweep need them", the note beside it, the sweep switch disabled while it is off.
- The clock-sync prompt stays behind the Sync clock button only (unchanged).
- tools/windows/power-prompts-off.ps1: the 0.3.9 job that switched PC 1's sweep off through the API it has
(run-20261005-192313: sweep True -> False; the 0.3.9 cap has no off switch, it asks at an app start only).

class-v3.mjs: a 3-node private network (ports 29600 and up, igneum-devnet-960) on override-60x.json merged with
a CPU genesis difficulty (0x1f010000) and the class switch a few epochs ahead (default 150: inside epoch 2 at
60 DAA per epoch, so the switch rounds up to epoch 3 at DAA 180); one real CPU miner per node; reports blocks on
each side of the boundary, the class and program id of every epoch, rejected blocks (miners and nodes), the
sinks and block counts of every node, and every node's switch line; exit 0 when every check passes.

Step 1: app/igneum-app/src/provedefault.rs decides once per install (NVIDIA 12 GB or more, WSL2 answering on
Windows, Linux native, Apple silicon off until measured), never switching an explicit on back off; the Settings
switch line and the tile line say why (5 unit tests). tools/proving-v1/pc2-prover-cost.ps1 is the PC 2 job
(5 min mining alone, 5 min with the prover, GPU memory and host RAM peaks, the sp1-gpu-server's SM targets).
Step 2: the host gains --mode chain (consecutive fixtures, each block aggregated with the previous block's
proof by recursion), --mode aggregate (the live aggregator over shard proof files, a run of blocks in one
process) and --mode verify-segment (the node's verifier against the pinned aggregator key); the app's prover
loop gains aggregate_once (spec 7.8). Eight consecutive live fixtures (blocks 81046 to 81053, node 1's export
at tip 81076) under proving/fixtures/chain/. tools/proving-v1/pc2-chain.ps1 is the PC 2 job (held).
Steps 3 and 4: tools/proving-v1/coverage.mjs (the proven-block share and the on-chain latency from one node's
RPC), tools/proving-v1/net.mjs (the fast-time 3-node harness on 29950+ with the known-finished and
known-failed cases of the chain rule and the unproven rule), the four proving_v1 fields in
infra/fast-time/override-60x.json. Spec 7.8, the 7.4 rows, the 5.3 sentence, docs/plans/proving-v1.md.

Fed by /api/explorer from the observer's tables. Latest blocks (hash, number, DAA, blue score, miner, txs, proof
records, time); a block's header, parents, children, mergeset, coinbase outputs, EVM transactions, shards, checkpoint
and certificate; an address's blocks, what they earned, vote keys and balance (eth_getBalance when EXPLORER_EVM_RPC is
set). Same tokens as live.html. vercel.json rewrites /block/:id and /address/:addr; the footer links the explorer; the
link checker skips template literals and resolves /api/<name> to its function. node tools/site-serve.mjs previews the
site with the functions in-process.

The numbers profitability sites and pool software read (WhatToMine's form: explorer or pool with an API, the halving
schedule, a source for total coins). Reward and supply from the emission rule at the node's DAA score; the halving table
(33 rows), the 30-day ramp and the observer's coinbase check. Cached 10 s, CORS open. FIELDS in each handler is the
contract; public-stats.test.mjs checks it from a fixture, tools/ci/public-api-check.mjs checks a deployment.

site/lib/emission.mjs is the emission rule as igneum.rs computes it (block_subsidy, launch_ramp, an exact floor-sum for
minted-so-far); its tests reproduce the node's own test values and a devnet coinbase (block 2622db76: payload 454,486,399
at DAA 125,064, outputs 454,485,299 = E(125,063), what the merged parent declared). Every live_blocks row gains tx_count,
evm_miner (the IGNA tag, else the vote key's low 20 bytes), proof_records (IGNP section), subsidy_sompi, paid_sompi,
selected_parent, number, detail. No extra RPC per block: measured 282 against 283 wRPC and 785 against 776 EVM calls
per minute before and after. live_state.rpc_load and live_state.supply_check are new.

The Notices block takes the hot-plug notices as on gpu-hotplug (card added, not usable, removed). The View block
and the Mine rows, the first-run rows and the Settings cards show a removed card (dimmed, no switch, the row goes
after five minutes) and a faulty card (named in ember, the OS problem code, the reboot hint, no switch); the big
button and the counts take only present cards; the name tooltip carries the tool's code, the device, the platform
and the PCI address. view.test.mjs covers the two states. host.cpp keeps both the WM_GETMINMAXINFO and the
WM_DEVICECHANGE cases.
Build tooling: push-build-inputs.sh and build-job.mjs take --no-node (the app engine only, no node source, no node
build, no node tests), for an app-only PC compile.

5 October 2026: an RX 9070 XT went into PC 1 through a Sonnet USB4 box while the app ran and nothing noticed; the
app detected cards once at start. Now src/hotplug.rs compares every enumeration with the list (key, else vendor +
name when unique; a card whose tool did not answer is never called removed): a new usable card starts a worker,
enabled by default like a card at start, with "New card: <name>, mining" on the strip and in the log; a card
Windows lists with a problem code (Win32_VideoController Status / ConfigManagerErrorCode) is shown as "<name>: not
usable (Code 43)" with the reboot-or-reinstall hint and no worker; a card that disappears has its worker stopped
(quit, 8 s) and its row says removed for five minutes, then hides; an unchanged list touches nothing. The Windows
host sends "detect" on WM_DEVICECHANGE; the engine polls every 60 s (300 s on macOS, no GPU hot-plug there).
detect.rs: the Ryzen iGPU is "gfx1036" to the OpenCL worker, so the APU gfx codes count as integrated, plus the
adapter row's Intel processor string and a dedicated memory under 1 GB; integrated defaults to off with "integrated
GPU, off by default (2 to 3 MH/s for 30 W)" on the row, and the user's choice is kept across re-detections and
restarts (settings, found by key or by vendor + name when the index moved).
Console: the engine logs "cards: <name> [<kind>, <state>] | ..." at start, on every change and every 10 minutes;
relay/lib/parse.mjs reads it and the hot-plug events, the machines API and tools/console.mjs machines show them.
Tests: hotplug.rs (added, removed, moved, errored, recovered, revived, unchanged, twins, user override kept,
the console line), detect.rs (PC 1's adapter lines, the Mac, kind classification, the unusable row),
notices.test.mjs (card notices), relay parse.test.mjs (cards line). cargo test -p igneum-app: 91 passed.

docs/security/keys.md: every key the project depends on (the folder, the gh
keyring, the Vercel env of three projects, the GitHub secrets) with where it
lives, what it unlocks, the blast radius lost and leaked, who rotates it and
the rotation status, written from the files and the scripts that read them.
No value, no private fingerprint. Section 4: the second OTA signing key kept
offline, the app change (a key list plus revocation in the manifest), 0.3.9
as the carrier, and the emergency path if the one key leaks today (a manifest
signed with a new key is useless to 0.3.x apps; the mitigation in order).
tools/keys/backup.sh: ~/Desktop/igneum-keys-<date>.dmg, AES-256, hdiutil's
own prompt (never argv, history or a file), the folder minus build-slots,
dlsite-dir and pytools/, plus a README; attached read-only, every file
compared by sha256, listed, detached. --dry-run lists. restore.sh: --check
compares the image against the live folder without printing values, --to
copies back with 0600/0644 and 0700. test-backup.sh: the end-to-end test on a
scratch folder with a throwaway passphrase, 8 steps, passed.
tools/ci/no-secrets-check.sh, in ci.yml: no tracked file named like a key of
~/.config/igneum, no 64-hex value assigned to a token/key/secret name outside
tests and the allowlist (the OTA public key, the published Hardhat and Anvil
accounts); a --self-test fires on a known-bad tree first. 776 files, 0 hits.
Also: ~/.config/igneum, vercel/ and txgen/ are 0700 now (were 0755).
