The Swift DatasetContext is the version 2 item construction; a v3 program over it would hash another dataset than
the node's (every found refused by the CPU re-check). servePackDataset compiles the pack's memhard.metal and runs
igneum_cache_fill and igneum_build as packbench does, releases the cache, and the v3 job path takes the pack
program and the pack day of its class and era only (need + error otherwise). The gate script's --metal mode drives
igneum-miner --worker <igneum-bench> --prepare-packs <dir> --exit-on-seed-change (the app's shape) on node 0 and
reports the PREPARE and prepared lines, need / mismatch / refusal lines, accepted blocks after the switch, the
CPU re-check counter and the swap line.

main.swift: servePackProgram reads program.h with the packfile.h checks (generator 2 or 3, the class line against
the generator, the seed bytes, IGNEUM_SEEDW_INIT against attempt_words, class and era against the line) and
compiles program_bound.metal; the program store keys on (seed, class, era); a v3 job with no resident v3 pack
program answers need + error; v2 lines unchanged (Swift generation, the variant race); a pack program never races.
verify.rs: Epoch::chain_dataset_day(day, class, days_since_genesis, genesis_dataset_log2) and days_since_genesis,
the entry the node builds every day cache through (the ca2-mixer growth rule fills the body).

class-v3.mjs: a 3-node private network (ports 29600 and up, igneum-devnet-960) on override-60x.json merged with
a CPU genesis difficulty (0x1f010000) and the class switch a few epochs ahead (default 150: inside epoch 2 at
60 DAA per epoch, so the switch rounds up to epoch 3 at DAA 180); one real CPU miner per node; reports blocks on
each side of the boundary, the class and program id of every epoch, rejected blocks (miners and nodes), the
sinks and block counts of every node, and every node's switch line; exit 0 when every check passes.

Step 1: app/igneum-app/src/provedefault.rs decides once per install (NVIDIA 12 GB or more, WSL2 answering on
Windows, Linux native, Apple silicon off until measured), never switching an explicit on back off; the Settings
switch line and the tile line say why (5 unit tests). tools/proving-v1/pc2-prover-cost.ps1 is the PC 2 job
(5 min mining alone, 5 min with the prover, GPU memory and host RAM peaks, the sp1-gpu-server's SM targets).
Step 2: the host gains --mode chain (consecutive fixtures, each block aggregated with the previous block's
proof by recursion), --mode aggregate (the live aggregator over shard proof files, a run of blocks in one
process) and --mode verify-segment (the node's verifier against the pinned aggregator key); the app's prover
loop gains aggregate_once (spec 7.8). Eight consecutive live fixtures (blocks 81046 to 81053, node 1's export
at tip 81076) under proving/fixtures/chain/. tools/proving-v1/pc2-chain.ps1 is the PC 2 job (held).
Steps 3 and 4: tools/proving-v1/coverage.mjs (the proven-block share and the on-chain latency from one node's
RPC), tools/proving-v1/net.mjs (the fast-time 3-node harness on 29950+ with the known-finished and
known-failed cases of the chain rule and the unproven rule), the four proving_v1 fields in
infra/fast-time/override-60x.json. Spec 7.8, the 7.4 rows, the 5.3 sentence, docs/plans/proving-v1.md.

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.

Owner's decision, 5 October 2026: the proposed testnet identity (docs/testnet/README.md) and the proposed fee floors
and prover-gas table (docs/analysis/base-fee-floor.md, spec 05 section 5.10) are adopted as proposed. The three
documents now say "adopted 5 October 2026" with the sign-off noted and the per-network rule written in: the testnet
and the mainnet carry calibrated v1 from genesis; the devnet and the simnet keep the prototype set until the
fees_v1_activation_daa height switch (fork branch release-0.3.6) moves them.
Conflicts (generated site files): index.html keeps the 0.3.5 dev-fee sentence and testnet-prep's testnet-terms card;
litepaper.html keeps the 0.3.5 two-paragraph dev-fee text and testnet-prep's MetaMask paragraph; journey.json keeps
the 0.3.5 feed (newest 40); sitemap.xml keeps /miners and /wallet. Site rebuilt with node site/build.mjs.
Also: infra/fast-time/override-60x.json carries fees_v1_activation_daa 0 (the fork's fast-time test wants every
override field); docs/plans/release-0.3.6.md (the inputs push must run from this tree before the workflow verifies
the signature; the devnet rollout of the fee floor as a height switch; the morning order).
Checks: node site/build.mjs; link-check 324 links 0 broken; check-workflow-shell 0 findings; test-inputs-signing.sh
16 of 16 with the signer built from this tree; bash -n on the four shell files; the PowerShell parse rule at the
0.3.5 baseline (3 hits, unchanged).

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),

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.

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.

A new Hetzner account is capped at 10 primary IPs (IPv4 and IPv6 both count), 20 shared vCPUs, 8 dedicated
vCPUs and no Arm, and a network cannot span zones. So: one private network per zone (10.20.<zone>.0/24),
the lowest-index node of each zone keeps a public IPv4 and is its gateway (NAT, MSS clamp, one DNAT port
27000+index per private node, persisted as igneum-nat.service), every other node has no public address.
nodes.tsv gains access, pub and port columns; lib resolves same-zone vs cross-zone dial addresses and jumps
ssh through the gateway for private nodes. All nodes.tsv loops read on fd 3 (a backgrounded ssh drained the
file). TYPE_BY_INDEX puts nodes 8 to 11 on ccx13; node 12 is the last shared one the account allows.
create.sh prints the plan's cost from the live API. provision.sh install takes node names and skips binaries
whose sha256 matches. Binaries copied from the seed's staged v4 build (same sources), no vCPU for a builder.
Results 2026-10-04: RTT matrix (hel1-fsn1 35 ms, ash-sin 289 ms) and a 10-minute propagation window of 644
blocks: p50 343 ms, p90 497 ms, p99 666 ms across 12 nodes in 5 locations.

infra/cross/build-linux.sh builds igneumd and igneum-miner for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.2.36 (Debian 12) with
cargo-zigbuild 0.23.4 and zig 0.17.0 into vendor/igneum-node/target-linux: rocksdb, lz4, blst, secp256k1 and the
execution layer all link through zig, no crate failed (Docker is absent here, so cross was not needed). Cold build
1,856 s at 4 jobs, nice 19, on a loaded Mac; the seed's own build took 55 min and the builder VM 10 to 25.
Verified on igneum-seed-1 in /root/xbuild-test: igneumd --version, igneum-miner --help, and a 60-s private
network with real proof of work where the cross-compiled miner found 7 blocks that the cross-compiled node
accepted (0 rejected). /opt/igneum/v4/bin untouched.
BIN_SOURCE=mac: provision.sh skips the builder VM and takes build/bin from the cross-compile; stage-v4.sh
cross-compiles, uploads to /root/v4/out and installs exactly as a VM build would.

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.

The first stage run built v4 on igneum-seed-1 in 60 min 49 s and then failed on `igneumd --version | head -1` under
pipefail, because the devnet-v4 igneumd prints its version and exits 1. The post-build steps now write to files and
test them; the tarball is unpacked once per src.stamp so a rerun is incremental; `stage-v4.sh <seed> resume` reruns
the build script on the tree already on the VM and then waits and installs.

Windows combined package 0.2.0 (proto-cuda/windows-app): v4 exes from target-integration, peers = seed then Mac,
fresh appdir devnet-v4, one miner and one worker per card with --identities 8, --evm-address (PAYOUT_EVM or derived
per vendor from the PC name), voting on (VOTE=0 opts out), --prepare-packs for the hot swap with --exit-on-seed-change
as the fallback, --yes on the node, STATUS regex tolerant of the v4 now= segment, version in the dashboard header.
Mac app 0.2.0 (packaging/mac): v4 binaries, Metal worker rebuilt for macOS 11, data folder devnet-v4, EVM payout,
identities in one process, synced= flag honoured. Seed (infra/seed-nodes): stage-v4.sh builds v4 on the VM as a
niced, memory-capped transient service and installs a disabled igneumd-v4 unit with a fresh data dir; switch-v4.sh
swaps the units (--back reverses); health.sh reports active-v4. Runbook: docs/plans/cutover-2026-10-04.md.
