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.

rollout-v2.sh stages the Linux igneumd (gateways from the Mac, private nodes from their gateway), rolls one node at a time with
difficulty_v2_activation_daa in every override file, checks the common chain and watches the height; results/2026-10-04/
rollout-v2*.log and v2/ (the hash-rate step under v2 and the v1 comparison). docs/plans/difficulty-v2-rollout-devnet.md: the
binaries and their sha256, the activation rule (N = DAA at publish + 10,800; baked at the cut as DAA + 14,400), the exact
restart lines for the observer node, the seed and Mac node 1, the OTA path for the two PCs through NODE_OVERRIDE_PARAMS in
packaged-config.sh (the engine side landed in 0dd587d), the rehearsal record. Bench-log entry.

partition.sh adapted to private-network mode: the cut sits on the region's gateway (INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD
against the far gateways' public IPs over 26611 and the DNAT ports 27001:27099), since a per-node port-26611 rule
leaves the DNAT links up. It now records the locks per side at cut, during, at heal and after convergence, the
first lock after the heal from the journals, and the heal time as each minority node's first chain removal of 5+
blocks (the sink-count criterion is tip churn on a healthy network). hop.sh and partition.sh hold the Mac awake
with caffeinate; analyze.py gains a 10-s hop series (difficulty, block count, 1- and 2-min rates, threads) and an
overshoot table; collect.sh writes hop-series.tsv and hop.md and gzips the journals.
Results 2026-10-04: partition 1 (window still filling) reorg 431/496 on the minority, 2 on the majority, healed in
10 and 14 s; partition 2 (locks active): minority locked nothing during the cut, majority locked every interval at
66.8% to 84.5% of total, 0 conflicting locks over 107 indices, healed in 11 and 15 s, first lock after heal 13 s.
Hash-rate steps x1.42, x0.70, x0.75, x1.32: difficulty overshoots x1.67, x0.66, x0.53, x1.60, settle 751 s,
never in 900 s, 241 s, 646 s. Failures stated in summary.md: the Mac hibernated during the hop (phase 2 ran 94
min), the first partition could not see locks, the script's heal and first-lock figures were artefacts (fixed),
and another agent's v2 rollout restarted every node during the second heal.

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

Root cause from the uploads (bench-log entry): the app exported the pack while its node was in IBD inside the previous
epoch, the OpenCL worker started after the boundary with no next epoch within lead, so no prepare was ever sent and
every job was a seed mismatch; the CUDA worker on the same PC had swapped correctly. Both workers now print
need <epoch> <day> before the error; the devnet-v4 miner (3bfe346f) prepares the current pair on a need line or three
mismatches, exits 42 for a worker without prepare support, and restarts a ready worker that completes no job for
60 s with jobs queued. Package rebuilt with the guarded miner (ship build on dc749905), payload inputs published.

Live devnet v4: a second RTX 5090 joining 7 minutes into an epoch left the whole-epoch reference lane polluted for the hour; the short lane read 11 to 25% above it and the 25% trigger flipped between the two for 40 minutes (102M to 164M, 54 to 81 blocks a minute). Record and hash-rate truth under sim/difficulty/records/. sim.py gains a DAG model (miners on nodes with igneum-miner's template staleness, GHOSTDAG, the rule as the node runs it) and --live replay: std of log difficulty 0.115 against the record's 0.134, 4.3 peaks of 1.31x against 4 of 1.37x. The brief's candidates (short lane 240/360, ease clamp 3%, clamp once per DAA second, hysteresis, median of three) leave 0.09 to 0.13; capping the reference lane at the newest 600 blocks of the epoch gives 0.026 with no flips. Rule v2 = that cap, epoch lane only, behind difficulty_v2_activation_daa (devnet-v4 fork). Attack suite and synthetic set before and after, 3-node test network of the switch (testnet_v2.py), analysis document, spec 2.3, bench-log entry, ledger M24, fast-time file carries the new field.

the project lead's rule, 4 October 2026: the mark sits in a black square, never in a circle, never on another colour, 20% clear
space; the Mac app is the model. brand/master/igneum-mark-square.svg (1024, #0C0C0E, the exact header polygons at 62%)
and igneum-mark-square-rounded.svg (Apple's 824-on-1024 grid, DMG volume icon only). make-icons.py now rasterises the
masters (rsvg-convert if installed, else Pillow draws the polygons) into igneum.icns (plain square, 16 to 1024),
igneum-volume.icns, igneum.ico (each size from the vector), the Inno art, the DMG background, site favicons
(favicon.ico 16/32/48, favicon-32, apple-touch 180, 192, 512, maskable 512 + manifest entry), relay favicons, and
brand/profile (400/512/1024, github-org-512, X banner). Every page head's inline SVG favicon and the relay header lose
the ring. The .rc and Info.plist paths are unchanged (same file names). docs/brand/before holds the old set.

infra/fast-time/override-60x.json is the devnet with every clock-like consensus parameter divided by 60 and every
block count unchanged (finality window, ban and min_daa 120 DAA; merge depth 60; Kaspa finality depth 720; pruning
depth at the anticone bound 13,838; coinbase maturity 2; the hourly program epoch 60 blocks with a 10-block lead;
the dataset day 24 minutes). The epoch length, lead and day are consensus parameters of the node since devnet-v4
a5ef8b07, carried by the override file. README lists each field, why it scales or not, the flags and the numbers.
Measured (simnet.mjs, three devnet-v4 nodes, three vmine voters at 1 block/s, one real-hash CPU miner): next
epoch seed in the template at 56.1 s, program swap at 65.1 s wall (DAA 60), first finality lock at 185.5 s wall
(checkpoint 5, DAA 149). Both harnesses take --fast-time: finality-attacks s3 PASS in 113 s wall with 16 locks
per node (the devnet rule needs 20 min of warm-up at 6 blocks/s before any lock); harness s3 partition and heal
43 s wall for three cuts against 983 s for four on the devnet profile with the same binary. Bench-log entry.

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.

igneum-common.ps1 uses igneum-worker-cuda.exe (with nvrtc64_*_0.dll next to it) and igneum-worker-opencl.exe when they
are in the folder, passes the exported pack with --pack, and only surveys the toolchain (Find-Toolchain) when a worker
is missing or FORCE_BUILD=1; the dashboard and the status block name the path per card; a prebuilt worker that is not
ready after 150 s falls back to the build path once when a toolchain exists; 90 s of seed mismatch errors re-export
the pack and restart the vendor; WORKER_ARCH overrides the NVRTC target. make-package.sh ships the two exes, the two
NVRTC DLLs, the licence texts, THIRD-PARTY.md and TEST.md (what the first RTX 5090 run should print and what to send
back). README.txt, the bats, proto-cuda/README.md (nvrtc/ section), WINDOWS-MINER.md and the bench log updated with
what the Mac measured.

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.

A lock needs two thirds of all 30-day weight signing; finality pauses
whenever less than two thirds is connected and signing, the chain runs
on proof of work meanwhile and the node reports it. Spec 3.3, 3.3.1,
3.7, 3.9, 3.10 Q3 row, 3.11 rewritten with the new arithmetic (safety
one third in every view, liveness two thirds connected, the per-view
window bound stated as 3.7 item 9); O-3.15 decided, O-3.16 closed,
O-3.18 and O-3.19 narrowed. Simulator: --floor, the +local partition
mode, scenario L; A to L re-run at the 2/3 floor over five seeds with
the 0.85 deltas in results_v2.md. Litepaper finality sentences and the
'does not claim' item. Ledger F2, F9, F16, F18 restated, F21 added
(the window bound and the post-heal finality fork from the devnet).
Bench-log: node build and tests, simulator deltas, three-node six-voter
runs of 6A, 6B and 6A with a long heal on ports 29200 and up.
