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

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.

A lock needs two thirds of all 30-day weight signing; finality pauses
whenever less than two thirds is connected and signing, the chain runs
on proof of work meanwhile and the node reports it. Spec 3.3, 3.3.1,
3.7, 3.9, 3.10 Q3 row, 3.11 rewritten with the new arithmetic (safety
one third in every view, liveness two thirds connected, the per-view
window bound stated as 3.7 item 9); O-3.15 decided, O-3.16 closed,
O-3.18 and O-3.19 narrowed. Simulator: --floor, the +local partition
mode, scenario L; A to L re-run at the 2/3 floor over five seeds with
the 0.85 deltas in results_v2.md. Litepaper finality sentences and the
'does not claim' item. Ledger F2, F9, F16, F18 restated, F21 added
(the window bound and the post-heal finality fork from the devnet).
Bench-log: node build and tests, simulator deltas, three-node six-voter
runs of 6A, 6B and 6A with a long heal on ports 29200 and up.

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.
Spec 01 0.2 (1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.6, 1.11, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17), igneum-pow README, the CUDA,
OpenCL and Metal test notes, bench-log entry, ledger M5 and M6 Fixed.

Spec 2.3: rule 1 measures every chain step on a sanitised clock stored per header
(c(b) = max(c(p) + clamp(t(b) - c(p), -20 T, +20 T), t(b) - 60 T), step min(c(b) - c(p),
20 T)); rule 4 bounds the output to [2^128, MAX_DIFFICULTY_TARGET]; the timestamp rules
are Igneum's own, 10 s ahead of the clock and 10 s behind the selected parent beside the
unchanged past-median rule; new parameter rows, the bounds paragraph rewritten (the old
"next honest block cancels it" was the attack), the attack and test-network results added.
sim/difficulty/sim.py: class Igneum carries the same clock, lag bound and floor, so the
rule as simulated is the rule as coded (attacks.py's igneum-san is now identical to it).
docs/analysis/difficulty-2026-10-03.md section 11: the attack, the three parts, before and
after tables (simulator seeds 7 to 9, base-profile regression within 10% on the 3-seed
means, pool hopping unchanged, the two 15-minute 3-node forger runs), unit tests, limits.
docs/bench-log.md: the 4 October entry. docs/fud-ledger.md: M23, status Fixed.
Node side: vendor/igneum-node branch difficulty, commit 52eacad9.

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.

The four public sentences (F18, P13, E11, L7 in site/litepaper.html and site/index.html) were swept into the concurrent commit cd604db; this commit carries the rest.
Spec 02: finality depth (43,200 DAA s, 12 h of median time) named as the reorg bound, merge depth as a merge limit only, simnet reorg test for gate 2; emission follows the code (365.25-day year, 63,115,200-s halving, 31.688 IGN per DAA second, reds inside the DAA window paid to the merger, E paid per block so coins are blocks times E).
Spec 03: W2 and Q1 denominated in past-median time, weight as a share of each 60-s bucket; W6 keys are free, weight is the only Sybil-resistant quantity; 3.8 and 3.9 point exchanges at the finality depth.
Spec 06: O-3.14, the finality simulation with the DAA in the loop under a pulsed rental (gate 3).
Spec 07: shard sortition draws by weight (blue blocks drawn uniformly from the window); proof-record validity is relative to the carrying block's own selected-parent chain; 1-key-versus-1,000-keys test.
Spec 08: release-key chain, rotation signed by the current key, revocation signed by the previous key, both published in a block; policy before the client ships.
Ledger: status lines for F18, P13, E11, L7, P11, F17, F14, M14, F15, E9, E10, G9; P8 cross-reference. Fixes: section 2.2 rows 75 to 88, with M15, M20 and P12 marked code, owner consensus engineer.

- 03-finality: Q2 participation from every vote seen in blocks (votes are
block payload); 3.3.2 the eclipse case closed by the 56.7% floor with the
sim v2 F2 numbers; 3.4.1 why aggregators cannot grind participation.
- 07-execution (new): EVM semantics on the DAG, shard sortition (8 provers,
10 s, then open, no shard bond), bridges (none official, no bridged
stablecoins at genesis, proof bridge with the consensus proof in phase two).
- 08-client-security (new): reproducible builds, release key in genesis and
in hardware, no silent updates, consensus only by 90% signalling, notarised
builds, official sources with the hash, seed confirmed before mining,
hardware wallet, the permanent seed line.
- 00, 02, 05, README, 06: cross-references, O-2.8 removed, O-3.3, O-3.7,
O-5.1, O-5.2, O-5.6 narrowed, O-8.1 added, counts kept at 60.
- Ledger: eight Status lines, status table, count table, overclaims 38, 40, 71.
- FUD fixes: rows 23, 26, 38, 62, 64, 66, 67, 70, 72, section 3 and 4.
- Site: bridge and stablecoin sentences no longer launch features; the seed
line wherever the app appears.

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.

The chain animation scales its proving tempo to the canvas width, so a block is mined, proven and locked before it leaves a phone screen. Opening frame seeds proven and locked blocks on narrow canvases too. Repository links point at github.com/igneum-network/igneum.
