A section between the live scene and Your card: three real screenshots
(the shipped Mine page of 0.3.14, and the next release's Overview and
Cards pages from the app in development), light and dark variants,
three lines (one click, every card tuned, the chain on your screen),
the download list repeated, and the wallet in one card.

The owner, 6 October 2026: "Im not sure about the site can we revert it but polish it? minimal, simple but everything needed
for the dopamine and emotional triggers of the gpu miner", then "cant we have a dag animation like we had before? with the
shards making up the block, then the final line and the other bits that looked really cool but brought upto date?"
Restored (a new commit, no history rewrite): site/index.html as it stood at 14da2b8, the step-view page with its hero, facts,
scene, three things to check, downloads, build, wallet, journey, economics and the ledger band; nothing from tonight's other
work is undone (the litepaper, /live, the roadmap and benchmark wording, ledger X31 to X33, the scroll-zoom fix). Where the
page named a month it now carries tonight's sentences: the proofs card reads "Live rows arrive with the public testnet. The
public testnet is weeks away: three seed nodes and the public RPC are up, and it opens when the go checklist closes."; the
journey lead reads "Six phases, four public gates ... No calendar dates: each phase closes at its gate." and its inlined
phases are the gate-worded ones. No "August 2027", no month anywhere on the page.
The scene (site/live-steps.js): the original bits, every one driven by the live feed. A real block arrives from the right
with a glow and its chain number under it; its outline is grey while pending and ember once included; as its shards are
verified or paid, particles fly in from the edges and its quarter cells fill molten; when every shard is proven the block
turns ember and the caption says how many provers were paid; a locked checkpoint takes a ring and a ripple and the dashed
"final" line sweeps in from the right to it, drawn only while finality is active (the legend no longer says "final to its
left"; the wallet card's state word "final, checkpoint 5" is the wallet's own vocabulary and stays). A proof or a lock that
lands on a block already off screen re-enters from the right as its own event, so every step is seen when it happens. The
counters gain blocks per second. The caption follows the newest block that changed step.
The miner's triggers, each one element with live or measured numbers, none invented: a network strip under the facts
(hash rate, blocks in the last ten minutes, the latest block's age ticking every second with its chain number and word,
shards proven and paid with the last ten minutes), each value flashing molten when it changes; a card picker from the bench
table with the time a card alone takes to find a block at the live hash rate (RTX 5090 127.7 MH/s at 227 W and RTX 4070
28.8 MH/s at 76 W from the 6 October Ember Tune on the three-card Windows rig, RX 9070 XT 17.8 MH/s from the 5 October eGPU
entry, Apple M5 Max 26.7 MH/s from the first live swap; the RTX 4090 and RX 7900 XTX shown as not yet measured with the
bench table linked) with the pool note; the fairness line (graphics cards only, a new program every hour, your card proves
the blocks, 80% to the miner and 20% to the provers, nothing to anyone else); the download buttons with sizes; a Discord join
line (the standing invite, recorded in docs/community/discord-hooks.md so nobody asks again); the testnet sentence.
docs/fud-ledger.md: G4, C2 and X8 each gain a status line saying the restored home page carries their sentence again; the
ledger-text check guards them on the home page again (55 sentences, 0 missing).
Measured headless over 40 s against the live feed: 19 captioned transitions, the strip reading 2.3 GH/s, 562 blocks in ten
minutes, 8 s ago, 2,970 shards paid, the picker's times 18 s (5090), 79 s (4070), 2 min (9070 XT), 86 s (M5 Max) at that
hash rate, 0.92 blocks/s; no console errors at 1440 or 390 in either theme; no horizontal overflow. Captures in
docs/plans/site-ui-3-shots/after-v2/: home-{1440,390}-{dark,light}-fold.jpg, home-{1440,390}-{dark,light}.jpg and
home-steps-1440-dark.webm (ten seconds of the scene). Checks: identity grep 0 hits on served files, link check 934 links
across 16 pages 0 broken, ledger text 55 of 55, contrast 32 pairs 0 under 4.5:1, api tests 5 pass. Not deployed: the owner
sees it first.

- docs/analysis/horizon-2026-10.md section 1 rewritten as a standalone page: the project lead's three lines verbatim (fees cannot fund security for a decade; miners need to be the security; wrong constants and claims in our own text) with the recorded meaning (miners are the security always, no time bound, no stake, no outside checkpoints or committee; emission plus fees pay the miners, nobody pays upkeep; emission never decays on a schedule that assumes fees take over); the nine items with what landed tonight (proof verification in consensus da2d17ec with the switch off by default; the leave item 766e70ca; seven-window signalling 0760b844; the peer-driven unwrap class 8e2f5cbe; the receive-side version gate f1ea7a38; Ember's pause wording and activation guard b43d329, e5e1e92, e54a87b; the export-disk cap f9ad70e; the nine ledger rows plus X31 to X33); lane 8's measured verdicts (B never as class content, C the class v5 candidate); lane 5's 1 block/s verdict with the three gates for 10; the four decisions still owed
- lanes table, section 4 (lanes 5, 6, 8) and section 5 (A2 dropped) brought current
- docs/plans/ledger-decisions.md: the fud-close file (c6b0bad) now on master, since docs/fud-ledger.md already points at it, with the standing decisions section appended
- docs/analysis/block-rate-devnet2.md: lane 5's experiment from gpu-fleet b965b64, unchanged

infra/build-server/capacity: igneum-capacity.service (user build, Nice 19, SCHED_IDLE,
CPUQuota leaving 8 threads free) runs run.sh, a controller over a priority queue of jobs
that pauses (SIGSTOP) the instant a build slot or the measure hold is taken (5 s poll of
/srv/builds/_locks) and resumes after. Jobs, each with a dry-run and a 10-min smoke:
pow fuzz (continuous, seed base advances), sync-request fuzz against a throwaway pruned
node on loopback (the Horizon 28-unwrap gate, igneum-p2p-probe sync-fuzz), GHOSTDAG and
finality sweeps seeds 1 to 1,000, model.py sweeps cached, clippy+audit per recent branch.
Summaries to /srv/workers/capacity.json; the worker dashboard gains a Background lane
(collect.mjs doc.background, page renderBackground). Night battery stops and restarts the
layer. docs/plans/build-server.md section 8. igneum-pow fuzz tests and ghostdag_sim.py /
attacks.py gain a seed-base knob for the continuous sweeps.

The owner, 6 October 2026, on the live home page: "too left and text heavy ... we want the home page to suck people in and let
the litepaper carry the weight; also minimise the header." The home page only; nothing else above the fold.
Header (this page only, a page-block override of the shared nav): the wordmark, Litepaper, Live devnet and Download the miner,
56 px, transparent over the hero; the phone sheet shows the same three.
Hero: one statement, eleven words ("A proof-of-work chain for graphics cards, whose miners prove the blocks."), two buttons,
then the step scene (site/live-steps.js on the shared feed) full bleed with its one caption line. Hero copy 17 words with the
buttons. At 1440 by 900 the hero ends at 849 px; at 390 by 844 at 699 px.
Below the fold: three facts, each one number and one sentence: the live hash rate with the vote keys of the last ten
minutes, the shards proven and paid on the chain (with the last ten minutes), and the chip model's one line with its link;
a note under them says the chain's state in the ledger's words (tonight: finality paused) and that the chip figures are a
cost model, not a measurement. Then the downloads row (three platforms) with the devnet and testnet notices and the dev-fee
sentence, then one line to the ledger and to what Igneum does not claim. The footer is unchanged.
Moved, nothing cut: the light-client card to /live (its verifier module with it); the testnet terms to the litepaper's For
miners section (with an id for the metamask page's link); "Live rows arrive with the public testnet, August 2027" to the
litepaper's proving section; "since 2019 (approximate)" onto the litepaper's RandomX date; the journey, economics, wallet,
build and RandomX sections were already in the litepaper (roadmap, economics, wallet, building, vs RandomX). The footer's
Journey link points at the litepaper's roadmap. tools/ci/ledger-text-check.mjs: the home page is checked for E5, X2 and
X7; G4, C2, X3 and X8 are checked on the litepaper (G4 and X8 were already there). The ledger's own "stated on" notes for
those four rows are owed an update by the ledger owner.
Polish lane Q5: the word "final" is drawn and captioned only while finality is active (site/live-steps.js), so nothing on
the page says final while finality is paused; the hero is under 40 words; the Open Graph card is the 1200 by 630 image.
Measured headless at 1440 and 390, dark and light: header 56 px with three items, no "final" anywhere, no horizontal
overflow, no console errors; the caption advanced on every capture. Captures: docs/plans/site-ui-3-shots/after/
home-{1440,390}-{dark,light}.jpg (full page) and home-{1440,390}-{dark,light}-fold.jpg (above the fold).
Checks: link check 912 links across 16 pages 0 broken, ledger text 50 of 50, contrast 32 pairs 0 under 4.5:1, orphan check
0 site headings, api tests 5 pass. The identity grep's one hit is docs/analysis/horizon/polish.md line 433 on master,
untouched here (the polish lane's own table of regex literals); it is main's to route.

The owner, 6 October 2026: "I liked it when we could see each step of the algo working." The home page's scene is again the
lane chart where a square moves through mined, shards being proven, proven and locked checkpoint, now as site/live-steps.js on
the shared feed (site/scenes/feed.js, which gains onData):
- every square is a real block from /api/live (a 300 s window so late proofs still reach the caption), released one every
2.5 s so a square crosses the scene in about 34 s; the chain merges a pending block in about 10 s, so its step changes
while it is still on screen (at the original 10 s crossing most transitions landed after the square had left). The feed is
sampled for the stream; item 0's counters read the chain. The first reply seeds the scene across its width, so nothing
starts empty;
- each step is drawn as before: an outline (grey while pending, ember once included), molten quarter cells filling as shards
are verified or paid, an ember fill when proven, a ring on a locked checkpoint with the dashed "final" line to its left,
excluded blocks dimmed; every transition glows for a second and a lock ripples;
- one caption line under the scene for the newest block that changed step, e.g. "block 144,564: mined 21:16:03, on the
selected chain; 1 shard planned", or with its shards "8 shards on 3 cards; proven in 48 s" and "locked at checkpoint 7,084".
/api/live now carries each block's chain number for it. When no block changes step for a minute the caption says why in
the ledger's words: finality paused (under two thirds of the weight signing), no proof landed in the last 10 minutes
(with the median lag), or no block changed step;
- the wheel is never touched: the module has no wheel handler, so the page scrolls through the scene;
- light and dark from the tokens, 390 px, a still frame under reduced motion. The DAG module stays as /live's scene and the
three scenes stay unlinked on /scenes.
Proved headless over 40 s against the live feed: thirteen captioned transitions, no console errors at 1440 or 390, no
overflow. Captures: docs/plans/site-ui-3-shots/after/index-steps-1440-dark-clip.jpg, index-steps-390-dark-clip.jpg and
index-steps-1440-dark.webm (ten seconds of blocks moving through the steps). Checks: identity grep 0 hits, link check 931
links 0 broken, ledger text 43 of 43, contrast 32 pairs 0 under 4.5:1, api tests pass.

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).

Main's rule of 6 October 2026 from the 0.3.14 repro (docs/evidence/reproduced/0.3.14.md): prost's protowire.rs embeds OUT_DIR,
libmimalloc-sys embeds __DATE__/__TIME__, sccache hid both. lib.sh bs_repro_env exports SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=<author time> TZ=UTC in
front of every remote command (build-remote.sh, cross-remote.sh, workers-remote.sh); remote-run.sh exports BR_SDE too and logs it
as source_date_epoch; proto-cuda/windows-node/cross-build.sh exports the same; the PC job carries node.commit_time in the manifest
(push-build-inputs.sh) and exports it before every cargo build of a stage (jobbuild.rs, unit test asserts it; 4 of 4 pass on the
box). Target dirs stay one fixed path per target. tools/build-remote.sh --self-test-repro [--full] from a fork worktree, run on
the box: igneum-miner twice a minute apart without sccache (RUSTC_WRAPPER=/usr/bin/env, an empty value is unset to cargo) MATCH
91e130f5..., a per-run target path differs (OUT_DIR shown); --full: kaspad with libmimalloc-sys recompiled a minute later MATCH
70219bc2..., without the epoch differs (__DATE__ shown).

- rebuild-on-box.sh: the DIFFER reason comes from the binaries (glibc need of both, the build path each embeds, the
mimalloc clock string, the PE timestamp, the commit string), never from an assumed story; the three string helpers run
their producer under `|| true` so a consumer that stops early (grep -m1, awk exit) no longer trips pipefail into the
fallback and a second line in a table cell.
- docs/evidence/reproduced/0.3.15.md, and the 0.3.14 file re-reported with the same column.
- docs/plans/build-server.md 7.3: the 0.3.15 row and what the two files mean for shipping from the box.

the project lead, 6 October 2026, item 3: three alternative scenes for the same live data, side by side at 1440, each a self-contained
module on one shared feed, the ledger's words in the legend (pending, included, excluded, proven, locked).
site/scenes/feed.js polls /api/live every 2 s and pushes the reply to every scene; it carries the site's state words
(connecting, live devnet, observer offline with the age, live feed unavailable) and the shared helpers (theme tokens from
CSS, the word for a block, DPR-sharp sizing, a frame loop that stops when hidden or off screen and draws a still frame under
reduced motion). Every mark in every scene is a block the observer stored; nothing is invented.
A, Forge (site/scenes/forge.js): blocks rise from the hearth as embers, one column per miner, at the height of their header
age over a 120 s window; a block cools as its word changes (pending molten, included ember, proven bone, excluded ash);
a new arrival glows for a second; a lock is a dark band that sweeps up the scene at the newest locked checkpoint, and
everything under it is final and settles to ash.
B, Lattice (site/scenes/lattice.js): a slow isometric DAG, time left to right, the selected chain as the lit spine in the
front lane, the other miners one shallow step deeper each (ranked by blocks, the shear capped to a third of the width so a
narrow card keeps its time axis), parent threads reaching forward, chain edges heavy with a soft halo, checkpoints as rings
that close around the spine when they lock with the lock weight beside them, new blocks glowing in; the camera drifts at
chain speed.
C, Pulse (site/scenes/pulse.js): the tip at the centre breathing, time outward with a ring every 30 s, each miner a ray,
each block a bead on its ray drifting outward, filling when proven, hollow while pending; the selected chain as short arcs
winding between consecutive beads (never a chord through the centre); a checkpoint is a ring that hardens from dashed to
solid when it locks.
site/scenes.html: the three cards side by side at 1440 and stacked under 1000 px, the shared legend, a note on the window
and reduced motion; ?only=a|b|c shows one scene full width (the card filter copies the children before removing, so the
right card survives). noindex, not linked from any page; registered in the build's PAGES so it takes the shared chrome.
Captures (docs/plans/site-ui-3-shots/scenes/, one niced headless Chromium): scenes-1440-dark.jpg (the three side by side),
scene-{a,b,c}-1440-dark.jpg and scene-{a,b,c}-390-dark.jpg, and scene-{a,b,c}-1440-dark.webm, ten seconds each at 1440 by
900 (VP8, recorded by Playwright and cut with its ffmpeg, which has no mp4 muxer). No console errors on any scene at either
width; no horizontal overflow at 390. Tonight's chain shows in all three: finality paused, so no band, closed ring or hardened
ring appears, and the checkpoint marks read pending.
Checks: identity grep 0 hits over 232 export files and 33 served site files, link check 931 links across 16 pages 0 broken,
ledger text 43 of 43, contrast 32 pairs 0 under 4.5:1.
