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.

Josh, 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 (7adcd4c, its --tune/--set-gmax/--set-plimit/
--reset contract) and the Power control switch (3562f26). 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 Josh 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.

Josh watched the 9070 XT at 90% usage with its fans barely turning and the app could not say what it drew: the
draw, temperature and MH per watt line came from nvidia-smi only, and the earlier per-watt figure used the board
rating. proto-opencl/gpu-telemetry.c prints one line per AMD card per sample (bus from SetupAPI by the display
device's name, kind, name, watts, temp_c, fan_rpm, fan_pct, mclk_mhz, gclk_mhz, util_pct, source), built by
build-windows.sh against vendor/adlx (the SDK clone), shipped by make-payload.sh and push-inputs.sh. The engine
runs it with -l 5 beside nvidia-smi (Source::AmdTelemetry, tick_amd_telemetry), parse_amd_telemetry fills
power_w, temp_gpu, fan_pct, fan_rpm, mclk_mhz, util_pct and telemetry_at on the AMD card matched by kind and
ordinal, so eff_mhw and the dashboard's existing line show it; app.js shows fan and memory clock when present.
Tests: three on the parser with lines captured on PC 1 and the Mac fixture; the sysfs path ran on a fixture tree.
Measured over 20:27:45 to 20:29:41 UTC with both cards mining (docs/bench-log.md, under the 9070 XT ceiling table):
9070 XT 198.9 W (193 to 212), 64 C, 657 rpm, 2,505 MHz memory, 3,290 MHz shader, 100% busy, 17.73 MH/s =
0.089 MH/W; RTX 5090 307.6 W, 69 C, 44% fan, 122.30 MH/s = 0.398 MH/W.

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.

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).

Footer partial: imprint line with the registered address and the mailbox; Report a flaw mails hello@igneum.network with the spec issues as the second route. Litepaper: Who are you names the entity that ships the software, the team is pseudonymous with no team page, the ledger and the benchmark source are public with the repository at the public testnet, the last paragraph gives the mailbox and the address. Miner: the dev fee goes to Igneum Labs LTD. Evidence (md and page): repository private until the public testnet. Trademark FILING.md: applicant Igneum Labs LTD at the DIFC address. Identity check: the ledger and fixes file join the export list; the forbidden list notes that the registered address is allowed. Site rebuilt (bench page and journey picked up the txgen log entry).

The ledger's header and submission lines, G3's status line, and the fixes file's legend, row 9, decision (b) note and section 5 record the four decisions. Two literal pattern mentions reworded so the identity check passes with both files on its export list.

igneum-prove-core carries the node's fees.rs (PgasTable, FeeParams PROTOTYPE and CALIBRATED_V1,
FeeSchedule::at); the shard input and every fixture carry the schedule and the block's DAA score; the executor
reads the set at that score, raises the base fees to its floors and meters with its intrinsic, B_p and modexp
entry, as the node's execute_segment does. The 328-byte statement is unchanged: the node's native veto pins the
schedule (a new layout would be a consensus change for every node). Exporter: schedule and daaScore from the
dump (gen.mjs writes them), per-segment switch on replay, S_p from the set. Fixtures from one simnet chain across
the switch at DAA 800: fees-switch-prototype (block 51), fees-v1-shards2 (351), fees-v1-shards3 (355); 358
segments replayed, every state root the node's. Host tests on both sides. Guest re-pinned: shard
0x2b1a81cb..., aggregator 0x474678f3...; pinned-guests-check passes.
Node fork 2b6d23ef unchanged (igneum-exec tests 11 passed). Digest for the override with
fees_v1_activation_daa 210000: ab8847da538dead1dc10e046dfaadab3c1c35928e3748810c4e050d4a886087a.
Runbook docs/plans/fee-switch-devnet.md; infra/devnet/restart-hand-nodes.sh and restart-seed.sh take the
override object (the hand nodes and the seed run 20139145 today and must move to 2b6d23ef first). One line on
the live page, spec 5.11, the testnet README, the floor analysis, the bench log and the journey.

tools/txgen/run.mjs funds generated wallets from the devnet dev-fee key and sends transfers at a steady rate through
one node (nonce tracking from the pool's pending nonce, two-strike drop verdict, pool back-pressure counted as
deferred, spend cap, clean stop, summary JSON); tools/txgen/proving-watch.mjs watches the proving layer and builds the
per-block report. Two runs through the Mac node: 2,275 sent at 2/s, 2,161 included at 1.86/s (run 1), 1,650 sent,
1,633 included at 1.71/s with no failure (run 2, fixed code). Block 72704 shard 0 (29 transfers, 5,800 pgas) proven on
PC 2 in 34 s, verified on the Mac in 0.297 s, paid 1.7623 IGN.
Block 72803 (seven skipped copies, no executed transaction) failed the native-execution veto: the exporter rebuilt the
including blocks from an export that names no block, position or skipped copy's miner, sorting skipped copies out
of their block, merging consecutive blocks of one miner, dropping empty blocks (the node counts them in the link's
block index) and guessing the zero address. blocks_of now rebuilds from the 0.3.9 export's "blocks", "block" and
"position" fields (the fork change on vendor/igneum-node-txgen branch txgen-export), keeps an old export in its
order and refuses a skipped-only block without a miner. Fixtures block-72803-skipped-copies and
block-72854-empty-block-first with the node's shard plan beside each; the fixture test now checks the cut's links,
roots, gas, pgas and counts against the node's plan (shown failing on the old 72854 cut). No change under core/.
Bench-log entry and evidence rows 15 and 21.

The 13:19:41Z refusal on PC 2: fetch_jobs took igneum-jobs.json and .sig in two requests while the edge was
still serving the previous deployment for one of them. The signer wraps the verified pair into one object and
reads it back; the app fetches that object (the pair only when none is published); publish-jobs.sh writes and
mirrors all three files and verifies every folder after the deploy; tools/jobs.mjs reads the envelope.
Tests: jobs.rs signed_envelope_binds_file_and_signature, packaging/ota/test-publish-jobs.sh (24 checks).

logs.mjs --rotation reads the old fingerprints from the dated .old-* files once the .next files are gone; fresh-repo.sh scrubs the dated secret files too; ship-app.mjs mirrors payload-inputs.json.sig.

On 5 October 2026 the Mac's host (shard program id 0x0559759b...) rejected every
proof from PC 2's host (0x05db1aca...). Both were built from the same guest
sources: host/build.rs compiled the guests on each machine and the ELF depends
on where it is built (cargo's -C metadata for a path crate includes the checkout
path; a worktree on the same Mac gave a third id, 0x0dfade07...). The node's
verifier also spent 114 s to 138 s per proof in the prover client and both key
setups before a 0.1 s to 0.4 s verify.
- elf/: both guest ELFs, their verifying keys and manifest.json (sha256, ids);
host/src/pinned.rs embeds and checks them at every start; the prove modes
refuse when SP1's setup does not derive the manifest's id
- --mode verify: LightProver with the pinned key, no prover client, no key
setup; prints the proof's own program id next to ours ("IS NOT OURS")
- --mode id; igneum-prove-pin and pin-guests.sh to re-pin; build.rs builds a
guest only under IGNEUM_BUILD_GUESTS=1
- tools/ci/pinned-guests-check.sh: elf/ must match its manifest, no script
builds a guest outside pin-guests.sh; make-package.sh and build-dmg.sh print
the pinned ids
- unit tests on the pinned set; bench-log entry with the three ids, the cause
and the timing: 127.0 s wall per verify before, 1.8 s to 2.4 s after
- rollout order in proving/README.md: every prover and verifier moves together

The fact: PC 2's exporter failed blocks 58,752 to 58,843 (and the task's 58,584 to 58,984) at
shard.rs:175, "shard 0 post-root from the witness", while three empty shards were later proven, verified and
paid. Every failing block is empty: one blue block, one reward, the pool credit, no transactions, no payouts
(igneum_exportSegments 0x0..0xe738 from the Mac node, fork 2b6d23ef). The proven block 59,507 has the same
shape and the same miner as the failing 58,927. So the difference is not block content.
The rule that differed: the planner's post-root of an empty segment. The exporter on PC 2 was a stale build
whose core predated commit 1251f0a (the assertion sits at line 175 there and at 179 since). That planner
returned root_at(end) for a segment with no transactions, which is the pre-root; the statement applied the
rewards and the pool credit, as the node does (vendor/igneum-node-036/igneum/exec/src/executor.rs,
execute_segment) and as spec 7.7 item 8 says. Left = the root after the rewards (the node's), right = the root
before them; PC 2's export log for 58,752 shows exactly that pair. Reproduced here: master's core with that one
rule put back fires the same assertion on 58,927 with left 0x7886b9cf (the node's root) and right 0xea9db302
(the pre-root). Master's core as it is reproduces 58,927 and 59,192 with the node's roots, the host's native
mode matches the fixture, and the SP1 executor runs shard 0 to post-root 0x7886b9cf.
So the prover core needs no rule change: the fix is commit 1251f0a, which PC 2 received with the 10:49 and
10:52 UTC rebuilds (job-rebuild-prover-pc2-037 and 037b), after which its proofs were paid. What this commit
adds is the regression and the guard for the class:
- proving/fixtures/block-58927-empty-reward.json: the failing shape cut from the devnet (33 KB).
- proving/igneum-prove/export/tests/fixtures.rs: every fixture in proving/fixtures reproduces (block
statement, plan, every shard statement from its witness, the chain of roots and links), and the empty
segment's shard ends at the root after the rewards, never the pre-root. With the pre-1251f0a rule put back
the test fails. The test lives in the export crate so the core's manifest, part of the guest build, stays
untouched.
- export/build.rs and host/build.rs stamp each binary with a hash of the native sources it was built from,
printed on the first line of every run, so a stale build names itself in the log instead of in a line
number (the stale-build class of 4 and 5 October).
- docs/bench-log.md: the row under the first paid proofs.
The guest is unchanged: built in one directory, this branch and master give byte-identical loadable segments
for the shard program and the aggregator, so no prover needs a rebuild for this commit. Noted on the way and
left open: the same sources built in three directories on this Mac gave two different guest ELFs, so the
program id is not yet a pure function of the sources on a native build.
