The owner's ruling, 6 October 2026, the same as the roadmap's: the litepaper said the public benchmark with a leaderboard "is
January 2027" (For miners) and "ships in January 2027" (Questions miners ask). Both now read "The public benchmark with a
leaderboard ships with the public testnet." (the second keeps its tail: its source is public with the repository then, so you
run it on your own card and post the number). One gate the reader already knows from the roadmap's phase 5. docs/fud-ledger.md
gains X33; the 5 October answers that named the month stay as the history of the plan. The ledger page regenerated (179
entries, 0 leaks).

The owner's ruling, 6 October 2026: a phase 4 dated "Apr to Jul 2027" before a phase 5 that is weeks away is a contradiction a
reader spots at once. The roadmap (site/litepaper.html Roadmap, site/journey.json, the home page's inlined journey) now names
no month. Each phase in the shape phase 5 has, the order unchanged:
1 Under way; closes when the specification is out for external review
2 Under way; closes at its gate
3 Live since 3 October 2026; closes at its gate
4 Closes when the finality design passes external review and one rollup signs for the testnet
5 Weeks away: when the go checklist closes
6 After the testnet has passed its gate: 1,000 independent miners for 30 days and rollup proofs on time
The lead reads "Six phases from specification to a fair launch, with four public gates and no calendar dates: each phase
closes at its gate." The devnet's 3 October 2026 start is a fact and stays. Not in the roadmap and left as it is: the public
benchmark's "January 2027" in For miners and Questions miners ask (its own commitment, for the owner's word).
docs/fud-ledger.md: row X32 records the change; rows G4, C2 and X8 gain a status line (the old kept as history) saying the
home page no longer carries their sentence and the litepaper does, after the home-page redesign; X3 got its line in the
previous commit. The ledger page regenerated (178 entries, 0 leaks).

The owner, 6 October 2026: "August 2027" is false. igneum-testnet-1's genesis is final, three seed nodes and the public RPC
are up, and the testnet opens when the go checklist (docs/plans/testnet-go.md) closes, which is weeks away. No calendar
month is given; the owner gives one if he wants one.
The sentence everywhere: "The public testnet is weeks away: three seed nodes and the public RPC are up, and it opens when
the go checklist closes." In site/litepaper.html the proving section's proofs feed ("Live rows arrive with the public
testnet." then the sentence), the For miners paragraph ("Pools come with the public testnet." then the sentence) and the
roadmap's phase 5 ("Weeks away: when the go checklist closes"); site/journey.json phase 5 and the home page's inlined
journey carry the same row. docs/fud-ledger.md gains X31 recording the correction (the old sentences, the new one and where
each lived), row X3 a new status line pointing at it (the old line kept as history), and O-X.2's blocker note and
overclaim item 75's replacement text read the new state. tools/ci/ledger-text-check.mjs checks X3's new sentence and X31
(51 sentences, 0 missing). The ledger page regenerated (177 entries, 0 leaks).
Checks on the tree: link check 912 links across 16 pages 0 broken, contrast 32 pairs 0 under 4.5:1, orphan check 0 site
headings, api tests 5 pass, identity grep clean on every served site file (the one hit is master's polish.md, the polish
lane's), no "final" on / or /live while finality is paused, no console errors, "August 2027" on no page.

From docs/analysis/horizon/economy-and-utility.md (sections 3.1, 4.1 to 4.4, proposals 2, 3, 4, 7) and
docs/analysis/horizon/consensus-security.md (finding 3, proposal 1), both on master.
(a) The litepaper's "proofs at the cost of power" and the customer brief's "priced in dollars per proof" are
conditioned: electricity is close to power, the price a prover must charge is the subsidy it forgoes, published as a
formula with network hash as the input (per shard, card hash over network hash x 0.8 x 31.688 IGN x shard seconds,
plus electricity), never a number; 100 to 300x the published market rate at the devnet's 1.16 GH/s, competitive near
100 GH/s beside the miner, approximate beyond the one card measured. Six litepaper passages and two brief rows. The
text check's P6 sentence moves to the conditioned form. Ledger E20.
(b) One threshold sentence in Governance and Mining: 60 percent of blue blocks over two weeks for a parameter genesis
leaves open, 90 percent for an upgrade (new code), 95 percent with a floor height for a class change (the Mining
section had said a 90 percent signal turns a spare defence on, which is a class change). Ledger G15.
(c) The 20% proving-pool row carries the caveat that consensus does not yet verify the carried proof, so a block
producer could claim shard pay with a false proof today (P21; the 0.3.16 fix). Ledger P24.
(d) The dev fee reads "default-on, switchable, 1 percent of the producer share" in the payment-routes row and the
Ember section; docs/plans/funding.md section 4's ceiling is 1 percent of the producer share, USD 38,520 / 154,080 /
770,400 at the three prices, corrected from 48,000 / 193,000 / 963,000. Ledger E21.
(e) The pool row's note: unclaimed pool credit is today stranded in the escrow, no rule returns it; the fix rolls it
into the next proven segment (0.3.16). Ledger P25.
site/ledger.html regenerated (176 entries); tools/ci/ledger-text-check.mjs carries the five new sentences (53, 0 missing).

From the Horizon lane analyses of 6 October 2026 (docs/analysis/horizon/algorithm.md sections 5.1, 5.4 and 8;
docs/analysis/horizon/frontier.md sections 3.11, 4.1 and item I13; both land with the lane's own commit).
(1) Wherever the litepaper or the home page implied that the hourly program, the era draw or the instruction reserve
defeat a chip by surprise (the hero SVG line, the home hourly-program note, the Mining section's three ideas, the
"Every six months" row, the "A chip is impossible" item), the text now says what holds: they are automatic schedule
changes against fixed datapaths and against human forks; a chip wired for one program is useless; against the chip
that stores the dataset every drawn parameter is firmware and everything it needs is public at genesis, so the defence
is the latency-shadow work (class v4) and the price per joule. Ledger M32.
(2) docs/analysis/chip-model-v3.md section 5.3: the HBM activate-bound ceiling (8 per 12 ns, 10.7 G reads/s a stack)
is marked UNMEASURED beside the JEDEC HBM2 figure (tFAW 28 ns, 4 activates: 2.3 G), and the public FPGA line carries
only the measured row (Shuhai, FCCM 2020: 2.4 G reads/s, 0.30x to 0.39x of the RTX 5090 per watt) until an AWS F2
hour measures the ceiling. Ledger M33.
(3) The finality section's "What is not here" paragraph and the glance table's Finality row carry, verbatim: "No coin
is staked. The only thing at stake is 30 days of public work: a vote key's weight is its blue blocks over the window,
and equivocation strips it for 30 days." Ledger F26.
(4) "For miners", under the three-streams table: all of Ethereum L1's proving is about USD 36 a day at the September
2026 tracker cost (a secondary source) against about USD 13,700 a day of year-1 emission at USD 0.005 per IGN (the
price an input, not a forecast), so external proving is a small second income at launch and the lottery pays the
bills. Ledger E19.
docs/fud-ledger.md gains the four rows (Conceded, stated, 6 October 2026); site/ledger.html regenerated (171 entries);
tools/ci/ledger-text-check.mjs carries the five new stated sentences (48 sentences, 0 missing).

Branch site-truth-2026-10-06 = master 9519a95 + merge of ledger-text (the 45 conceded sentences of the 5 October close) + cherry-picks 6141e01, 8c5b02f (the bounty strikes) and 1a238bc (review round 4 reddit) + this commit. The hero chip line follows the owner's pick of 16:25 UTC (draft (a) of docs/plans/counter-asic-3-status.md section 6 with the owner's last sentence). Every number carries its source beside it. No em dashes. Site build, identity-check.sh (0 hits over 224 files) and the private-string sweep of the built pages pass.
Changed sentences, before and after (lines are master's where the sentence existed):
site/index.html:343 hero
before: A custom chip gains under 2x, and the model is public.
after: The strongest recompute chip we can price, holding the whole 256 MiB cache on-die, reaches under 1x per chip against an RTX 5090. A memory-controller chip that stores the whole dataset reaches 1.2x per chip and, in our model, 5x to 9x per joule; the Ethash chips of this class reached 2.1x to 4.8x. The lever against it, program work in the latency shadow, is measured and in its gates: it brings the chip to about 2x. The model is public: the numbers.
before: An NVIDIA card with 24 GB or more proves every block and gets paid for it; AMD and Apple cards mine.
after: Every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves and is paid for it; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server (eleven rented cards, RTX 3060 to RTX 5090, 6 October 2026, docs/analysis/prover-tiers-real-cards.md). AMD and Apple cards mine.
site/index.html:372 before: miners active after: vote keys active in 10 min (a card runs several)
site/index.html:400 and the chain scene script before: the "proven" and "locked" counters counted the simulation while the scene carried the live label after: in live mode the counters read the observer (proven = blocks in the window every shard of which is verified, "not active" while the proving layer is off; locked = locked checkpoints in the window) and the simulated shard sparks stop
site/index.html:484 before: One click. The card mines; an NVIDIA card with 24 GB proves too. after: One click. The card mines; every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves, 12 GB and up mine and prove.
site/index.html:492 and site/miner.html:266 before: (the app is still labelled Igneum Miner until 0.3.6) after: (the app window still says Igneum Miner at 0.3.13)
site/litepaper.html:301 abstract before: A custom chip gains under 2x, and the model is public; the claim is tested by paid independent cryptanalysis and the public benchmark. after: draft (a) as on the hero, then the sources (chip-model-v3.md section 5; the Ethash rows of asic-resistance-history.md; Counter ASIC 3.0 item 8), then "The model is public; the claim is tested by paid independent cryptanalysis and the public benchmark."
site/litepaper.html:396 before: About one a second after: About one a second with the full fleet; 0.65 a second over the hour to 16:00 UTC on 6 Oct 2026 with one PC off (the live page's hour count, 2,325 blocks)
site/litepaper.html:400 before: version 0.3.5; 0.3.6 staged after: version 0.3.13 (6 Oct 2026); the app window still says Igneum Miner
site/litepaper.html:412 added after "not on maths or bandwidth.": Measured: an RTX 5090 hashes at 95 GB/s of useful 4-byte loads against 1,638 GB/s of sequential writes (engineering log, the RTX 5090 entries).
site/litepaper.html:424 before: It claims the gain is small, the response takes a week, and both are measured. after: It states the gain its own model finds, the response takes a week, and both are measured.
site/litepaper.html:440 (vs RandomX, Useful work) before: NVIDIA cards with 24 GB or more prove every block and sell proofs to other chains; AMD and Apple cards mine, ... after: Every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server (eleven rented cards, RTX 3060 to RTX 5090, 6 October 2026, docs/analysis/prover-tiers-real-cards.md); they sell proofs to other chains. AMD and Apple cards mine, ...
site/litepaper.html:452 before: Proving needs an NVIDIA card with 24 GB or more (32 GB until the fee switch of 6 October 2026; ...). AMD and Apple cards mine. A prover for them lands when a zkVM ships one. after: Proving: every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server. Measured on eleven rented cards ...: the RTX 3060 (12 GB) mines at 23.78 MH/s and proves the v1 shard beside its miner at an 8.9 GB peak in 37.5 s; the RTX 4060 (8 GB) proves it alone at 7.4 GB in 18.4 s; the RTX 4090 (24 GB) proves it on the stock SP1 server in 5.6 s at 17.4 GB. The patched server that fits the smaller cards is not yet in the shipped app. AMD and Apple cards mine. A prover for them lands when a zkVM ships one.
site/litepaper.html:454 before: The old 12 GB gate on the roadmap is withdrawn until a prover build with a smaller floor is measured. after: ... was withdrawn on 5 October until a prover build with a smaller floor was measured; on 6 October a patched server proved the same shard at 7.4 to 8.0 GB alone on eleven rented cards from the RTX 3060 to the RTX 5090 (the real-card table), so the gate returns as measured and the patched server is not yet in the shipped app.
site/litepaper.html:562 (Hardware) before: 24 GB proves full shards (measured on a 32 GB card's allocation; a 24 GB card has not run it yet) and 32 GB mines and proves on one card, measured 5 October 2026 on this prover build (a 12 GB card does not prove on it: the GPU prover's floor is 13.9 GB). after: Every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server (eleven rented cards, RTX 3060 to RTX 5090, 6 October 2026, docs/analysis/prover-tiers-real-cards.md).
site/litepaper.html:645 (Governance, admin keys) appended: On the devnet the activation heights and one execution-state restart (6 October 2026) reach every node through the signed update manifest, so on the devnet the release key acts as the operator; the sentence above holds for mainnet consensus only once that path is closed, and the public testnet terms will say which parameters still travel that way.
site/litepaper.html, Questions miners ask added: the entry "Don't ASICs make a chain safer?" (three parts and a five-row table; the rental row cites the fleet's bench entry that lands tonight and the 50-miner wave row reads "measurement tonight")
site/litepaper.html:733 (What Igneum does not claim, the chip item) before: ... approximate; the claim is under 2x, the margin is stated on the numbers page, and the next lever is named there. No hash has stayed free of chips forever; Igneum does not claim to. Monero's seven years without a public chip are precedent, not proof. after: ... approximate. The same model, drawn out to the chip that stores the dataset (6 October 2026): draft (a) with its sources. No hash has stayed free of chips forever; Igneum does not claim to. Monero's seven years without a public chip are precedent, not proof, and a small prize: they say nothing about the price of a chip with the 256 MB cache on its die, and that price is a cost model, not a measurement.
site/litepaper.html, the four bounty sentences (301, 424, 684, 686): struck as on ca2-coord 6141e01 and 8c5b02f
site/litepaper.html, the 45 sentences of the 5 October close: as on ledger-text a795b02 (merged)
site/miner.html:7, 13, 21 (meta) before: and an NVIDIA card with 24 GB proves. after: and every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves.
site/miner.html:252 before: Install. Start. The card mines. An NVIDIA card with 24 GB proves too. after: Install. Start. The card mines. Every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove.
site/miner.html:308 before: ... and, on an NVIDIA card with 24 GB or more, the prover. AMD and Apple cards mine; after: ... and, on an NVIDIA card, the prover: every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server (eleven rented cards, ...); the patched server for the smaller cards is not yet in the shipped app. AMD and Apple cards mine;
site/evidence.html before: hand-kept, "30 claims · 4 Oct 2026", row 21 "unwritten" after: generated by site/build.mjs from docs/evidence.md (31 rows, the counts, the date), scrubbed as /bench is
docs/evidence.md row 17 before: The chip resistance target: a chip gains under 2x over a GPU after: The chip resistance claim: the strongest recompute chip under 1x per chip against an RTX 5090; the stored-dataset chip 1.2x per chip and 5x to 9x per joule in the model (2.1x to 4.8x by the Ethash precedent); the latency-shadow lever, measured and in its gates, brings it to about 2x
docs/evidence.md the card-lifetime row numbered 22 under "What moved on 5 October" becomes row 31 of the table; "Hetzner VMs" becomes "cloud VMs", "recommended to the project lead" becomes "recommended to the owner"
docs/fud-ledger.md, docs/fud-fixes.md taken from fud-close c6b0bad (167 entries); two lines reworded for the identity check (the log key, the log intake)
site/ledger.html new: every ledger entry with the critic's words, what was done, the status and the date, the count table on top (53 conceded, 54 fixed or built, 27 closed by rule or decided, 13 answered with evidence, 13 by design, 7 open); generated by tools/ledger-page.mjs
site/vercel.json the /ledger redirect removed
site/partials/footer.html "Ledger: every criticism" added under Read (so every page's footer changed)

Written tonight, then moved: P3 (overclaim 25 plus the certificate-half numbers), M29 (the app paragraph rewritten to Ember 0.3.9), E16 text half (the 20% is burned under igneum-proving-pool-v0, provers paid from the execution-state escrow), L9 (devnet no-value line beside every download control, the tiles), L2 text half (no "so" clause), E17 text half (100,000-gas calls, fleet-size dependence), E13 (the six-row payment-route table in the litepaper Economics and the customer brief, from docs/design/payment-routes.md), E6 (the schedule as a bet), C13 (Monero's record does not price the die), L8 (Circle's decision), X3 (August 2027 under the proofs feed), M10 (overclaim 14 applied).
docs/fud-fixes.md gains section 2.7 with one row per group. Site rebuilt with node build.mjs (the live downloads index moved the HiveOS package to 0.3.9; journey.json regenerated from the log).

Spec 06 rows O-3.1, O-3.14, O-5.9 and O-5.11 carry the sweep's evidence (fix row 124 done). M20: the devnet's pruning
point leaves genesis between DAA 108,000 and 151,200, about 14:00 UTC 5 October to 01:00 UTC 6 October, after which a
fresh node rejects the honest pruning proof under the stub. The ledger ends with the sweep's status-update section;
the review file carries draft counts and the three findings.

Status lines updated from the bench-log, sim/results_v2.md, sim/difficulty/attacks and sim/economy where the

Conflicts resolved keeping both: engine.rs carries the sweep state (miner-eff) and the node watchdog (reliability);
the STATUS line goes through watchdog::parse_status and still feeds the sweep's rate sample; main.rs declares both
modules; bench-log.md keeps both entries. site/build.mjs keeps master's partial-injected pages and adds the /miners
bench table through the same page() with active: 'miners'; the Miners link is in site/partials/nav.html; sitemap
gains /miners; every generated page rebuilt with node site/build.mjs.
docs/bench-log.md: the fake-worker measurements (slow start one trip and 2.0 s restart, fake-fast guard in under
0.1 s, exit 43 at 8.8 s, CPU re-check stop at 0.5 s, stall guard at 60.1 s with STATUS lines through the silence,
one prepare per epoch with refused retries held; app: zero-rate restart at 79.6 s and faulted at 75.4 s on the
repeat, no-status restart at 90.4 s, silent node restarted at 150.7 s and synced 7.2 s later; no double restart on
the miner's own worker restart). Two defects the harness found are named with their fork commits.
docs/fud-ledger.md and the round-4 review table: M26, M27, X21 Fixed with the commits.
engine.rs: the miner's restart note no longer hides the fault reason on the card.
tools/reliability: the harness matches the miner's stderr lines where they are printed there.

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),

The intake key sits in every miner package, so the relay now lets it report only (drop text and files, ack, done,
register, upload). Posting a run or task, or renaming and re-roling a machine, needs the console token.
The prove host wrote proofs through SP1's unbuffered save: on WSL2 under /mnt/c the 18 MB core proof of a shard
took longer to save than to prove. Proofs now go through a 4 MB buffer with a timed 'saved' line, and
prove-shard.sh keeps results on the Linux side and copies them per stage. Ledger P20 updated.

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.
