The console-window class (the project lead, 5 October 2026: "Windows Command Processor" windows on PC 1 whenever a remote job runs).
Measured on PC 1 (ae432dc7, Windows 11 Pro 26200, default terminal "Let Windows decide" = Windows Terminal 1.24) with
tools/windows/console-watch.ps1 (job run-20261005-182528): no child a job script starts from the app's headless
console opens a window (powershell, cmd, query, curl, nvidia-smi, wsl --status, a distro, interop cmd and powershell,
powershell -WindowStyle Hidden: 0 windows each); Start-Process in a new console opens a Terminal window (the known-failed
case: 2 windows), the same with -WindowStyle Hidden opens none (the known-finished case). The elevated path
(Start-Process -Verb RunAs -WindowStyle Hidden through the AppInfo service) is the one road left; its watcher
(console-watch-elevated.ps1, job run-20261005-184610) was cancelled at the UAC prompt.
- platform.rs: elevated_ps_line + elevated_command build the one PowerShell line every elevated launch uses (the NVIDIA
power cap, the sweep helper, the clock sync, an elevated remote job), -WindowStyle Hidden by construction; unit
tests on the line, the quoting and the Command.
- jobrun.rs: the elevated job path uses it; the relaunch helper's Start-Process carries the reason it has no
-WindowStyle Hidden (igneum-app.exe is a windows-subsystem program).
- tools/ci/windows-spawn-check.mjs (+ ci.yml): fails when a Command::new in app/igneum-app/src is not quieted,
a creation_flags is not CREATE_NO_WINDOW alone, a Start-Process the Rust code writes lacks -WindowStyle Hidden or
-NoNewWindow, or host.cpp spawns without CREATE_NO_WINDOW / SW_HIDE; self-test on known-good and known-bad samples.
- tools/windows/console-watch.ps1, console-watch-bg.ps1, console-watch-elevated.ps1: the watchers (run jobs).

PC 1, 6 October 2026 06:58:47Z: the app came up after the 0.3.11 publish, had the installer verified 44 s
later and sat on "installs at the next safe moment" with its slot at minute 35; the project lead pressed Install now at
07:00:48Z. The slot staggers a fleet through a NEW publish; a machine that was off through the publish has
nothing to stagger. Now: published_at + 3,600 s <= engine start => slot_ok, logged once. The other safe-moment
guards (node synced, miner idle, boundary, network drop) are unchanged. manifest::unix_from_rfc3339 with tests.
For 0.3.12.

the project lead, 6 October 2026: on PC 1 the integrated card sat between the 5090 and the 9070 XT. The list now shows
usable cards first, ordered by the measured rate since the start in 5 MH/s buckets (no flicker), discrete,
external and Apple before integrated, then memory; removed and unusable cards last; ties keep the detection
order. The row signature follows the order, so a reorder re-renders. Three UI tests. For 0.3.12.

One prover at 2.2% coverage never had 8 consecutive proven blocks (C47, 6 October 2026); claiming whole segments makes it complete about 1 segment in 75 instead of none. The choice is deterministic per key (FNV of first block and key hash) over the untouched whole segments inside their deadline by a margin (240 DAA or 1.5x the last segment's time); the per-block path stays as the fallback. Unit tests for the grid, the grouping, the margin, the attempted set and the per-key order; 120 app tests, 8 core and 9 host tests pass.

serde_json's to_value refuses a u128 over u64::MAX (18.45 IGN) and state_json turned the error into json!({}). A paid shard is 1.23 IGN on average, so a proving machine's dashboard went blank about 15 paid shards after every app start. Unit test over the boundary; 114 app tests pass.

The known-failed case, from PC 2's 0.3.9 log (run win-1ccfe586-20261005-200114): 1791234223 pause -> 'stopping the
miners (paused)' (every slot's restart_at cleared, the 5090 'off'); 1791235511 '[ok] mining resumed'; then
'0.00 MH/s, waiting' at every 30-s status line until the 0.3.10 restart at 21:49:41Z. Cause: Cmd::Resume re-armed
only slots whose watchdog said faulted; the 5090's slot was healthy and stopped, so nothing restarted it. The test
the_pc2_resume_of_21_25_11z_restarts_under_the_new_rule_and_not_the_old encodes that slot (faulted false, live
false): the old rule returns [] (the defect), the new rule [0]. cargo test -p igneum-app resume: 3 passed;
provedefault: 6 passed.

the project lead, 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 (423936b, its --tune/--set-gmax/--set-plimit/
--reset contract) and the Power control switch (057f0ec). 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 the project lead 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.

the project lead, 5 October 2026: "if we don't have to ask then don't ask". The NVIDIA power cap and the efficiency sweep need
administrator rights (one UAC prompt); PC 1 raised that prompt for cmd.exe at every app start and every sweep attempt
(17:00, 17:30, 18:12, 19:04 UTC today, each cancelled unanswered after 2 minutes; the "Windows Command Processor"
the project lead saw).
- config.rs: `power_control` (default OFF on every machine); `sweep` default becomes off and is implied by it (an
install carrying sweep = true without power_control is migrated to off on load).
- engine.rs: `elevation_allowed(power_control, sweep_only)` gates the power cap (`power_cap_plan` builds nothing when
off, the card note says so), the sweep scheduler, Sweep now, the sweep helper; no prompt on quit (the limits reset at
the next reboot); no second prompt through PowerShell when the window host's prompt goes unanswered.
Cmd::PowerControl(on): on = ONE prompt at that moment (every NVIDIA cap in one step), off = nothing asks;
`power_control_after_prompt` turns a refused, cancelled or unanswered prompt into "power control off:
administrator rights were not given" (switch back off, sweep off, no retries). Unit tests: off builds no elevated
command; on + refusal gives the notice; rights given keeps it on.
- platform.rs: `elevated_failure` maps the launcher's exit 251 and the "canceled" wording to the prompt, any other
code to the step itself.
- server.rs: POST /api/power/control {on}. ui: the Power control switch with the line "Windows asks for administrator
rights once; the cap and the sweep need them", the note beside it, the sweep switch disabled while it is off.
- The clock-sync prompt stays behind the Sync clock button only (unchanged).
- tools/windows/power-prompts-off.ps1: the 0.3.9 job that switched PC 1's sweep off through the API it has
(run-20261005-192313: sweep True -> False; the 0.3.9 cap has no off switch, it asks at an app start only).

the project lead 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.

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.

The Notices block takes the hot-plug notices as on gpu-hotplug (card added, not usable, removed). The View block
and the Mine rows, the first-run rows and the Settings cards show a removed card (dimmed, no switch, the row goes
after five minutes) and a faulty card (named in ember, the OS problem code, the reboot hint, no switch); the big
button and the counts take only present cards; the name tooltip carries the tool's code, the device, the platform
and the PCI address. view.test.mjs covers the two states. host.cpp keeps both the WM_GETMINMAXINFO and the
WM_DEVICECHANGE cases.
Build tooling: push-build-inputs.sh and build-job.mjs take --no-node (the app engine only, no node source, no node
build, no node tests), for an app-only PC compile.
