Fork release-0.3.6 final tip 2b6d23ef = a11455e7 (testnet-params merged, the fee height switch) + cf369022 (the
release dev-fee address 0x7F45d7d7272e57639BeBb739A60B05bB2CD4C126, docs/design/miner-dev-fee.md updated here) +
the miner-latency merge, which landed only after the miner suite (15 passed), the 3-node fast-time run (243 blocks,
0 rejected, 0 red, sinks agree, switched p50 46 to 52 ms) and the dev-fee harness (8 of 8 fee blocks on chain,
control at 0) passed on the merged tree.

Conflicts resolved keeping both: Settings and SettingsState carry the sweep fields (miner-eff) and dev_fee /
fee_total (dev-fee); the engine's settings snapshot sets both and the DevFeeState line stays.
Decision of 4 October 2026 (evening): the Igneum Miner software takes a visible, switchable 1% dev fee, the norm
for GPU miners; the protocol stays fee-free. The miner side (--dev-fee, the 1-in-100 template counter, the audit
command) is on branch dev-fee of the node fork.
- app: settings.dev_fee (default on) passes --dev-fee 0 to igneum-miner when off; Settings shows the miner's own
"dev fee 1% (1 block in 100) to 0x..." line next to the rewards address with a switch; the engine parses the
miner's start line and its dev-fee block lines (fee_session, lifetime fee_total, an event per fee block)
- packaging/hive: h-manifest.conf, h-config.sh, h-run.sh, h-stats.sh, make-hive-package.sh (igneum-hive-<v>.tar.gz
with the Linux igneumd, igneum-miner and both GPU workers), README with the Flight Sheet, selftest.sh (bash -n,
stub binaries, the three hooks the way Hive runs them, the stats JSON parsed). Hive itself is untested
- infra/cross/build-workers-linux.sh: the NVRTC and OpenCL workers cross-compiled for Linux with zig;
proto-opencl/cl_dynamic.h gains the Linux dlopen branch (libOpenCL.so.1)
- tools/dev-fee/run.mjs: the fee-block test network (two nodes on 29900+, three CPU miners, payouts audit)
- docs/design/miner-dev-fee.md (mechanism, flag, lines, the DEV_FEE_ADDRESS placeholder and the devnet address),
docs/fud-ledger.md E18 and the E5/L9 status line, litepaper "What a miner's hour looks like" paragraph, homepage
miner section note

Conflicts resolved: state.rs keeps both the sweep fields (miner-eff) and the race fields (miner-perf); bench-log.md
keeps both appended entries; publish-manifest.sh keeps master's --override implementation (8082576, the "every
height switch" rule, --verify-only, --tries, the retrying live check) and adds miner-perf's --tuning / --no-tuning
with the carry-over of consensus.override and tuning from the current manifest. One --override case, one parser.
Header: site/partials/nav.html, head.html, footer.html, injected by site/build.mjs between markers in every page (the bench template too) with the active link marked; the master mark in its black square, the wordmark, Litepaper, Live devnet, Engineering log, Evidence, GitHub and the miner button, in that order everywhere; one menu script (closes on a link, a tap outside, Escape with focus back on the button, a resize past 900 px); a skip link; one focus ring and one reduced-motion rule.
Litepaper: the hash routed by a click delegate and popstate instead of the browser's fragment jump. Root cause of the tabs fault: show() scrolled to the top of the article, never to the section; in whole-paper mode the fragment jump landed on the section and the smooth scroll then dragged the reader back to the Abstract; in one-section mode a deep link scrolled while the section was still display:none and landed on the cover. Now: every section and all 29 subsection headings reachable by URL in both modes, scroll-margin from the measured bar height (nav, plus the contents row on a phone), focus moved to the heading, a re-aim after a late font batch, mode buttons stacked in the sidebar.
Pages: homepage headline capped at 9cqw so it is two lines at 390 and 1440 (was four with "fire." alone), journey inlined by the build (no fetch, no shift), dates as "4 Oct 2026"; live page legend no longer forces 420 px of width at 390, the hash-rate unit as small mono, idle redraw at 30/s with a 1.5x backing store (0.7 to 1.2% of one core idle in Chrome for Testing, taken under load), the proving line wraps on a phone; evidence sort headings are buttons, chips carry aria-pressed, a scroll hint under 1,140 px; bench contents in a sticky scroll box, og.png?v=3; 404.html; sitemap with /evidence; vercel.json caches fonts a year and images a day.
Fonts: eight latin woff2 files in site/fonts (139 KB for all, 118 KB a typical page), preloaded first-paint faces, fallback faces with size-adjust and ascent overrides from the font tables; every page lost its render-blocking fonts.googleapis.com stylesheet and the gstatic origin.
HTML per page before to after (gzip): / 17,265 to 21,810 B; /litepaper 20,556 to 24,957; /live 15,640 to 17,777; /evidence 18,899 to 22,493; /bench 94,723 to 98,289. Third-party requests before to after: 3 to 1 (jsdelivr, light client), 1 to 0, 3 to 0, 1 to 0, 1 to 0. Lighthouse before and after is queued under the measure lock (held by reliability runs since 19:16Z, load average 258) and recorded in docs/design/site-polish-2026-10-04.md when it runs.
Checks: node site/build.mjs, tools/ci/link-check.mjs (246 links, 0 broken), identity grep, and a Chrome for Testing run over every page at 390, 768 and 1440 (no overflow, no console errors, menu, router in both modes, deep links on reload, keyboard).

the project lead, 4 Oct 2026 evening: "we need to make our miner better than anything else can be". The compile-ahead pipeline
built one kernel per program; it now builds a catalogue (unroll 2 or 8; the dataset load path __ldg, __ldcg, __ldcs
on NVIDIA; a register budget by --maxrregcount or __launch_bounds__, max_total_threads_per_threadgroup on Apple;
2, 4, 8 warps per block or 64 to 256 threads per threadgroup; combinations), self-tests each against the pack's
vector warps (NVIDIA) or the base kernel over 2^16 nonces (Metal), bit for bit or out, and times each for about two
seconds with the job loop paused (one mutex, mining resumes between variants). Base is the pack's text as shipped,
always first, never discarded; a race has a budget (default 120 s against the 600-DAA lead) and keeps the best so
far when it runs out, so the swap is never delayed. One line per race: variants, MH/s each, winner, gain, time.
A tuning file (--tuning, IGNEUM_TUNING_FILE) pins a variant or orders the candidates per card model.
NVIDIA: textual rewrites on the pack's own kernel_bound.cu with exact anchors from igneum-pow's emitter, so the
pack format, the miner and igneum-pow are untouched and old packs race. --race --pack <dir> runs the race alone.
Under IGNEUM_EMU the race is off (the stand-in checks the handed-over text is the pack's). Metal: the MSL hooks in
generateMSL, a lock-protected kernel slot per program, a pair compiled inline races after its first job,
--race-test --seed --day runs the race alone with a table. OpenCL is not raced yet. docs/design/miner-tuning.md.

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.
