9 fee blocks in the 785 blocks of the two fee-paying miners (1.15%, expected 1 in 100 templates), the miners' fee
counters equal the chain's count on both nodes, the control miner at --dev-fee 0 paid nothing.

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 project lead, 4 Oct 2026: 0.3.1, 0.3.2 and 0.3.3 each took eight hand steps and an hour. The tool runs them in order, each
step idempotent and resumable (--from): preflight, bump (six version files, one function, read back), push-inputs,
commit and push, the windows.yml run polled with gh (auth switch before every call), fetch, DMG under the build lock,
copy, signed manifest, one deploy, HEAD/GET verification with sizes and sha256, one console item. --dry-run prints
the plan, --check compares the version files, --self-test bumps a scratch copy. Secrets never printed.
Found by --check: Igneum-Miner.iss and Info.plist were left at 0.3.2 when 0.3.3 was cut (CI passed -Version from
Cargo.toml, so the installer was right; the Mac bundle said 0.3.2 because build-dmg.sh's sed only matched 0.3.0).
Both aligned to 0.3.3; build-dmg.sh now stamps the version with plutil. fetch-ci-artifacts.sh: CONSOLE_SKIP=1.

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.

The console marked any job with a RESULT line as done, so a running shard job read as finished. Done now means
the SUMMARY line carries finished_at or the job's closing 'job <id>: <status> (exit N)' line is present.
prove-shard.sh dropped the third fixture argument (block-344-shards4) because it read only $2.

Observer (tools/observer/observer.mjs): reads the execution layer's JSON-RPC of a node on the proving build
(IGNEUM_EVM_RPC, default the Mac app's node 26800): every chain block's shard plan as it joins the chain
(igneum_getShardPlan by blockHash, one live_proofs row per shard, planned), the proof records of the chain
blocks of the last 10 minutes polled in rotation (igneum_getProofRecords, four in flight, 40 blocks per tick
while active, 10 before activation): proving (in the pool), verified (SP1 proof verified, or carried and checked
by consensus), paid (a carrying segment paid it), with the prover's id8, the carrier, lag in DAA and the payout.
live_state.proving = {supported, active, activation_daa, tip_daa, verifier, pool, blocks_10m,
blocks_fully_proven_10m, shards_proven_10m, shards_paid_10m, median_proof_lag_s, provers_10m}. A node without
the RPCs gives supported false (rechecked every 5 min); an unreachable endpoint is retried every 20 s. Events:
proving (activation, first paid shard), prover_seen. Additive schema (live_proofs, live_state.proving).
API (site/api/live.mjs): proving, and per block shards: [{i, n, state, prover, lag, payout (IGN), pgas}] and
proven; ?window=N (30 to 300 s) for the page's diagnostic long view; LIVE_TABLE_PREFIX reads a test observer's
tables.
Live page (site/live.html), the design change of 4 Oct 2026: three thin strips sharing one time axis, newest at
the right. BLOCKS keeps the per-miner lanes, chain path, blue/red/pending colouring, arrival glow and tooltips;
the lock ring, dashed lock line and final band leave it. FINALITY is an 18 px bar: ember wash = final (up to the
newest locked checkpoint on screen), molten tick = locked checkpoint, faint = proposed, one label at the newest
lock ("locked #522, 12 s ago"); while finality is not active it reads "finality paused: N% of weight silent" and
nothing else (R4.6.3). PROVING shows one cell per shard under each chain block, outline (planned), molten
(proving), prover colour (verified), tick (paid), a dashed "proofs land N s behind the tip" line, or the one
honest line before activation ("Proving layer: not yet activated on this devnet; activation at DAA N" / "node
without proving"). Header stats: on screen, chain, identities, last lock, proven. Legend: one line per strip.
Hover and tap tooltips on blocks and cells (block, shard, prover, lag, payout). Lanes snap on resize (they used
to ease from a zero-height layout). Phone width, no horizontal scroll; draw 0.6 ms avg, 1 ms max with 110 blocks
on screen (playwright, 1280 px).
Hero (site/index.html): a faint second glint behind a real block once every shard of it is verified, only while
the proving layer is active; pace and sampling untouched.
Verified on the private 3-node proving network (tools/proving-v0/run.mjs --network-only, activation 60) with a
CPU prover loop signing as v0/v1/v2: records relayed, verified on node 0, carried and paid (block 155 by 405,
lag 259 DAA, 0.634 IGN); screenshots in docs/design/live-proving (devnet before activation at 1280 and 375 px,
test network active, the ?window=300 view with paid cells). The live devnet shows the "not yet activated;
activation not set" line once the observer runs this build.

PC 2 on 0.3.3: 'wsl -d Ubuntu-24.04 -u [user]' from the app fails with getpwnam([user]) and the default user has no
cargo, while the project lead's own session has both in a distro of the same name: WSL distros belong to the Windows account,
and the engine runs under a different context than the interactive session. So the prover path is self-sufficient
inside the Ubuntu the app sees: the wsl-prover probe and the shard-benchmark job run as root (the job's wsl_user or
IGNEUM_APP_WSL_USER first, root second, the distro default last), and the shard job runs the Linux host the
payload ships next to the app (wsl2\bin\igneum-prove-host, cuda feature) directly for each fixture (shard 0 in
shard mode, the blocks in block mode, results under <app data>\prove\igneum-prove-wsl2\results); params.build
= true keeps the package's prove-shard.sh path. Every job logs the account context first (Windows user, SID,
elevated, the signed-in console user, then 'wsl user <id> uid <n> home <h>' and nvidia-smi inside the distro),
the engine logs it once at start, and the dashboard (Settings and the job strip) says 'The app runs as X
(elevated). The signed-in user is Y; WSL and its tools belong to that account.' when they differ.

PC 2 on 0.3.3 logged 'needs wsl-prover' although the toolchain is there as user [user]. Every negative probe now
lands in the engine log with its exit code and the first 200 characters of output (it reaches the intake). The
probe sources ~/.cargo/env and sets ~/.cargo/bin and ~/.sp1/bin itself (a login shell from a console-less process
need not), runs as the job's wsl_user or IGNEUM_APP_WSL_USER first and the distro default user second, and a
payload with wsl2\bin\igneum-prove-host next to the app meets the requirement when the distro answers.
publish-jobs.sh: --requires none or "" publishes an empty list (none was a literal requirement, "" fell back
to the kind's default).

The IGNEUM-APP header is read from the newest upload's first line, from any tail, or from the first upload of
the run; the app's status: line supplies peers, lifetime accepted and synced when the node log tail has none.

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.

The job runner launched its helpers by bare name; binary planting into a writable PATH entry fed an elevated
prompt was the round-4 finding. Fetched files were already sha256-checked before use (fetch and shard-benchmark
refuse a job without a 64-hex sha256 at parse time, fetch_file verifies before the rename).
