packfile.h: pf_load refuses a generator other than 2 or 3 (spec 01 section 1.4.5), reads IGNEUM_PROGRAM_CLASS
(must match the generator) and IGNEUM_ERA_SEED_HEX; pf_pack_class_ok and pf_class_token are the one rule for
the `class=<v2|v3> era=<hex>` tokens a job or prepare line of a class v3 epoch ends with (a v2 line is the
line of before, byte for byte). CUDA worker.cpp and OpenCL host.c: a pair's identity includes its class and era
when the line names them, so a prepared pack of the right class wins over the resident pack of the same seeds;
right seeds with the wrong class answer `need` plus `error <id> pack <dir>: program class mismatch ...`, and a
prepare on a pack of the wrong class fails in plain words. Metal main.swift: refuses every class v3 line until
the Swift generator carries version 3 (the integration branch). emu/packfile-test.c: the generator rule, a v3
pack with its era, the token matcher, the contradicting class line (13 checks pass).
igneum-pow verify.rs: Epoch::chain_dataset(day, class), the one entry the node's day cache goes through, so the
ca2-mixer class-specific item construction and cache schedule have a seam.

Nothing changes for the default class: the pinned packs are byte-identical (tests/packs.rs), the v2 draw stream is untouched.
LoadClass {mix, load_slots, scratch}: fixed widths w16, w64, w64x4 (4 loads of 64 B), era mixes 50/35/15 and 25/50/25 drawn per load with one extra below(100) roll, and the scratch variant scr0/2/4/8 (persistent warps, 1 MiB per warp, tagged lazy fill, measurement only). A wide load reads the W-aligned address and folds every word: x = dst ^ w0; x = (rotl(x, 11) * 0x9e3779b1) ^ w[j]. Program ids carry the class. proto-opencl/host.c taken from opencl-rdna4 23810df (--memprobe, select read-back).

From 18:23Z both Windows workers (CUDA on PC 1 and PC 2, OpenCL on PC 1 after the 18:34Z node restart)
refused every pack for epoch 34 with "the epoch seed bytes do not give the pack's IGNEUM_SEEDW_INIT", and
the miner and the app restarted them every 5 to 60 s until 18:44Z and beyond. The packs were correct.
The generator retries a rejected candidate with seed || k_le32 (attempt_words); epoch 34's attempt 0 was
rejected (246 of 16384 final register values saturated, limit 163) and attempt 1 accepted, so the pack
carried attempt 1's words while pf_load (proto-cuda/nvrtc/packfile.h) derived the expected words from
the bare seed. Both workers also matched jobs to pairs by those bare-seed words, so even a loaded pack
of a retried program would have answered "epoch seed mismatch" on every job.
The rule, in one place per language:
- packfile.h: pf_program_words(bytes, attempt); pf_load reads IGNEUM_PROGRAM_ATTEMPT and checks the
attempt's words; the refusal says "program pack and its seeds disagree: IGNEUM_SEEDW_INIT is not
attempt N of the epoch seed ..." in plain words.
- worker.cpp and proto-opencl/host.c: a job belongs to a pair when the seed hex the node sent is the
pair's (pairIs); the compiled-in placeholder pack keeps the word comparison.
- igneum-pow/src/packcheck.rs: verify_pack_texts / verify_pack_dir, the same rule in Rust; the miner
checks every pack it writes with it before a worker sees it (vendor/igneum-node pack-loop branch).
Tests pin the attempt vectors of epoch 34 on both sides (one vector, two implementations), that
epoch 34 is attempt 1 and epoch 33 attempt 0, a known-good pack of a later attempt, a known-mismatched
(out of date) pack, and self-contradicting packs.
- proto-cuda/nvrtc/emu/packfile-test.c (+ .sh, in CI): pf_load on a known-good attempt-1 pack, the
checked-in attempt-0 pack, and the known-mismatched bare-words pack.
The app (app/igneum-app):
- watchdog.rs: PACK_OUT_OF_DATE_CODE 44, PackRebuilds (at most 3 pack exports per epoch, then the card
shows the reason), pack_refusal (the worker's "error 0 pack" line and the miner's "PACK OUT OF DATE"
line), pack_epoch_of; tests on the incident lines, known-good and known-mismatched.
- engine.rs: exit 44 exports the pack again before the restart instead of a blind restart, the strip
says "program pack out of date, rebuilding", the card and the log name the condition; at the cap the
card is marked failed with the reason and tries again in 10 minutes.
The relay (relay/lib/parse.mjs): PACK_MISMATCH; the card reads "pack mismatch, rebuilding (N refusals
in the tail, M restarts)" in `node tools/console.mjs machines` instead of a bare restart count; tests
on the PC 2 tail of 18:27Z and a healthy tail.

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

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.

Every Windows executable now ships with the coin icon Explorer shows and the version block Properties shows
(CompanyName Igneum, ProductName Igneum Miner, FileDescription per exe, 0.3.0, LegalCopyright Igneum contributors),
like the Mac app and DMG already do.
- igneumd.exe, igneum-miner.exe: packaging/windows/embed-resources.sh now takes the worktree and target dir
(defaults vendor/igneum-node-v4 and vendor/igneum-node/target-integration) and relinks with a linker shim first in
PATH instead of `cargo rustc -- -C link-arg`: cargo rustc takes one package and unifies features differently from
the two-package cross-build (300 crates differ), and a configured linker is fingerprinted and rebuilds everything;
the PATH shim changes neither. .rc files moved to 0.3.0.
- igneum-worker-cuda.exe, igneum-worker-opencl.exe: proto-cuda/nvrtc/build-windows.sh compiles the two new .rc
files with windres and links the objects; the icon is made with make-icons.py if missing.
- igneum-app.exe: app/igneum-app/build.rs runs windres on resources/igneum-app.rc for Windows targets and links it
(cargo:rustc-link-arg-bins, no crate dependency); it fails the build if the .rc version drifts from Cargo.toml.
- packaging/windows/resources/verify-exe.py: small PE parser that checks the .rsrc section, icon group and version
strings on the Mac; both build scripts call it, and it checks every exe inside the packages.
- proto-opencl/cl_dynamic.h: clGetEventInfo added to the run-time loader table (4714b51 added the call in host.c
without it, so the one-click OpenCL worker no longer linked under IGNEUM_CL_DYNAMIC).

After PC 2's gfx1036 (prebuilt-generic path) completed 2,000 jobs a second with no hash from 600 s on: every OpenCL
call in host.c's job path is now fatal on error (exit 3, the miner restarts the worker), the dispatch event must read
CL_COMPLETE, a chunk 20x faster per nonce than the running mean or an output buffer unchanged since the previous
dispatch is a fault, and a stats line every 200 jobs carries the live event and buffer counts (a leak over 16 events
or 12 buffers is fatal too). IGNEUM_FAULT_TEST=N exercises the detectors on a healthy device (verified on Apple
OpenCL: the stale-output guard fires on the chunk after the injected fault). The launcher shows 'worker fault' and
'restarting' for the card on the miner's WORKER FAULT line and drops the last rate. The emulation's NVRTC stand-in
now applies NVRTC's execution-space rule (program.h(46) igneum_launch_* declarations are host code unless
-default-device or -DIGNEUM_NO_CUDA), which is what the RTX 5090 reported; test.sh checks the rejection.

host.c --serve --pack <dir> serves a pack read at run time (packfile.h), whatever pack the exe was built against: the
first pair is built and self-tested like a prepared one (pairBuffers, pairSelfTest), prepared pairs are self-tested
too, the ready line says path prebuilt-generic. cl_dynamic.h (IGNEUM_CL_DYNAMIC) opens OpenCL.dll with LoadLibrary and
fills a function pointer per entry point, so the mingw build links no import library. test-generic.sh checks the mode
through Apple OpenCL with the packs of the CUDA emulation test: PASS (192 found, prepare and swap, 15 sampled hashes
equal igneum-pow hash-bound), built against a different placeholder pack than it served.

igneum-pow 0.2.0: generator v2 draws exactly 16 load slots from instructions 1..63, a
load's source from the registers written earlier and not read by a load since, the other
48 ops from the ten non-load weights; accept.rs is spec 01 section 1.4.6 (static: no
stale load source, every register injected; dynamic: 64 units on the seed-keyed
closed-form dataset, no constant bit, no lane-constant site, under 164 saturated, bias
within 136 of 1024, distinct addresses above 245,760); a rejected candidate is replaced
by the next attempt of the seed (seed || k_le32), 32 a consensus fault. Packs carry the
generator version, attempt and program id. Version 1 kept as generate_v1 for the census.
Packs: igneum-genesis, igneum-hourly, igneum-genesis-mh regenerated by igneum-pow export;
new igneum-devnet-v4-epoch0 (devnet genesis hash, day bytes 20730). Checks: Rust 39 of
39 tests; Metal natively via the Swift port (export cross-check 3 of 3 warps, identical
programs and vectors on five seeds incl. three with attempt 1, fuzz 2,000 of 2,000);
CUDA emu 4 of 4 packs; OpenCL emu 2 packs x 2 configurations; Apple OpenCL 4 of 4 packs
at 27.9 Mhash/s. Census 20,000: 5.225 percent rejected, accepted distinct mean 127.887.

proto-metal --serve compiles igneum_hash_bound at runtime and mines jobs from stdin (init words in buffer 3, program
and dataset cached per seed); proto-cuda and proto-opencl host serve modes from the pack's kernel_bound.cu / .cl with a
seed guard; --vendor device filter for OpenCL. windows-miner/: START-MINING.bat + start-mining.ps1 (GPU and tool
detection, pack export, cached builds, MINERS identities per vendor, status every 30 s, uploads every 60 s, rebuild on
seed change, Ctrl+C summary), README.txt, make-package.sh (igneum-mine-test.zip with a cross-compiled miner).

Exporter writes kernel.cl next to kernel.cu (same instruction list; memory-hard core emitted in a third, OpenCL C
dialect with the same literals as memhard.h). Pack headers are now C99-safe so a plain C host can include them.
proto-opencl/host.c: C99 + OpenCL 1.2 API, device list, runtime build, cache fill and FNV check, dataset build and
self-test, 3 vector warps standalone and in batch, bench and sweep as host.cu, whole-batch fingerprint. The 32-lane
exchange is sub_group_shuffle_xor only when the queried sub-group size for a 32-item work-group is exactly 32;
otherwise a local-memory exchange with one barrier per exchange, so wave64 hardware cannot change the hash
(WAVEFRONT.md). build.sh (macOS, Linux), build.bat (MSVC), README with the exact AMD-rig commands.
Proven without AMD silicon: Apple OpenCL 1.2 on the M5 Max 96/96 on all three packs (45.0 Mhash/s at 1 GiB, Apple
number, not AMD); pocl 7.2 CPU device 96/96 on both exchange paths including the real sub_group_shuffle_xor text;
CPU emulator 7 configurations incl. 64-wide sub-groups, identical fingerprint f99fb375b3abeaf5 everywhere.
