Audit fixes, copy only. (1) "every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves" cited docs/analysis/prover-tiers-real-cards.md, which
is not in the repository, and contradicted evidence row 16; the hero lead, the proving feat, the three meta descriptions
and the homepage lead and h2 now say what row 16 and docs/analysis/amd-proving.md state: measured on an RTX 5090 with the
shipped SP1 server (13.9 GB floor), a 32 GB card mines and proves, a 24 GB card proves the full shard alone (from the
5090's allocation, not yet run on a 24 GB card), 16 GB empty shards only, 12 GB and under nothing on this build; the
eleven rented cards of 6 October are "measured, record pending". Each links /evidence#claims. (2) The h1 was 96
characters and seven lines on a phone; it is "Install. Start. The card mines and proves." (42) with the tiers in the lead.
(3) Lever row 4 said "Ships in 0.3.6" at 0.3.14; it now says shipped in 0.3.6 (the miner-latency merge, release-0.3.6.md
section 2), the app at 0.3.14.

The public /ledger page (site/ledger.html) carried ~/.config/igneum paths five times, "pid 33114", --rpclisten=0.0.0.0:26610,
"PC 2" fifteen times, "the Mac" nineteen times and 202 repository file paths, because tools/ledger-page.mjs scrubbed with its
own short list and never ran the forbidden-strings hard stop (found by the site audit of 6 October 2026, docs/plans/site-ui-3-audit.md).
Now: the generator's scrub replaces every config or home-directory path with "a config file" or "a home-directory file", a pid with
"the process", a listen flag or 0.0.0.0 address with its plain words, "PC 1" and "PC 2" with "the Windows machine", "the Mac" with
"the Apple M5 Max" (the bench log's rule), and every repository file path with "a repository file"; the page's own source note
names no path. After rendering, the page is grepped with tools/ci/forbidden-strings.txt plus the leak classes and the render
exits 1 on a hit. The pattern list gains ~/.config, pid N, 0.0.0.0:port, PC 1 and PC 2 and --rpclisten=, and the identity grep
now covers site/ledger.html (html added to its file types). Regenerated: 167 entries, 0 leaks, identity grep 0 hits over 231
files, link check 0 broken.
Consequence per reader: the ledger keeps every criticism, status and answer; what a reader loses is the exact repository path
of a fix, which meant nothing outside the private repository. Nothing else on the site changes.

Mine, Earnings and Settings on igneum.network/miner are now the installed 0.3.14 app on PC 1 (RTX 5090 at 122 MH/s,
222 W, 0.55 MH/W, 56 C; RTX 4070 at 28.7 MH/s, 76 W; RX 9070 XT at 18.9 MH/s, 198 W; 169 MH/s at 532 W; Ember Tune
and Power control on), shot read only by the signed run job site-capture-pc1-1 with Edge headless and brought back
over the relay. Masked in pixels: the job's own strip cut out of the content column, the rail foot and the Settings
name field (hostname, address) painted over, the Earnings address box painted over. Captions say PC 1, the time, that
no electricity price is set and that the tune lines are stopped tunes from before that afternoon's Power Helper fix.
Prove, light and the phone width stay the Mac's (PC 1's Prove shows an exporter error line that belongs in a bug
report; headless Edge followed the Windows theme so its light set is dark; its 390 px window clipped the right edge).
The contact sheet is refreshed.

On 6 October 2026 the pre-push hook's site build fetched the live downloads index (0.3.14 since 17:47Z) and rewrote site/downloads.json and the stamped pages in five worktrees that had nothing to do with the release, as uncommitted edits to tracked files. A plain build and the hook now read live and warn when the snapshot lags; the ship step refreshes it with the flag and commits it. tools/ci/no-foreign-tree-writes.sh fails a script that builds a path from a worktree name, a glob over Projects or a worktree-list loop that writes; the eight absolute defaults into the shared checkout are listed as warnings until they move to env-only defaults. The journey, bench and index rebuilt from the merged tree.

The node pin moves to 4c6b129d (release-0.3.14-node), which is what the live payload inputs carry, so windows-ci's payload-inputs step is green again (red since 630b537 on master's 0.3.13 pin against the 0.3.14 inputs).
Conflicts: infra/fast-time/override-60x.json keeps master's side (the fresh-rule field was already there at u64::MAX; the release line would be a duplicate key); tools/ci/playbook-quit-check.sh keeps master's rule 2 and pre-rule list with the release side's Ember allow entry and the 0.3.15 expiry check.

The "LIVE DEVNET" scene on the home page showed blocks 21, proven 0, locked 3 and grey nodes while the devnet stood past
chain block 140,000 with 2,090 shards paid and a checkpoint locking every 30 s. Four causes, all in site/index.html:
- "blocks" was the scene's own spawn counter, never the chain;
- "proven" counted blocks of the 90 s window whose shards were all paid, and proofs land a median 380 s behind the tip
(median_proof_lag_s), so the window can never hold one;
- "locked" counted locked checkpoint blocks inside the same 90 s window (always about 3);
- the live path skipped the colour state machine, so every real block stayed grey, and a failed first fetch left the
simulation running under a label that looked live, with no further polls.
Now: /api/live carries state.height (the chain block number, the same field /api/stats reports, one indexed subquery);
the scene's counters read chain block (state.height), shards proven (proving.paid_shards_total, the node's count of paid
shard records, with the 10-minute count and the median lag in the note) and last lock (finality.latest_locked_index);
live blocks take the observer's own words (pending, included, excluded, proven, locked checkpoint, final to its left),
refreshed on every poll, with a legend in those words; the hero tile shows the chain block instead of the node's
held-block count; polling never stops (2 s while fresh, 10 s while off) and the off state is labelled "simulated preview ·
live feed unavailable" or "observer offline, last update N ago" with a note that the counters count simulated blocks.
Also found while verifying: the scene advanced a fixed 16 ms per frame, so it ran at double speed on 120 Hz displays;
it now uses the real frame time, capped at 50 ms.
/live had the same window bug in its "proven 0/16" counter; it now reads the observer's 10-minute truth (chain blocks
with every shard paid, of the chain blocks planned in 10 min) with the lag and the chain total in its title.
Verified against the live API through tools/site-serve.mjs in the built-in browser and headless Chromium:
chain block 140,489, shards proven 2,130, last lock #6,784; the failed-fetch state shown by blocking /api/live.
Screenshots: docs/plans/site-ui-3-shots/item0/ (1440 and 390, live and failed). Checks: identity grep 0 hits,
link check 708 links 0 broken, site/api tests 14 pass, site build clean.

Real screenshots of the live 0.3.14 app on the Apple M5 Max (paused, Ember Tune off, as Josh left it), shot headless
at 1440x900 and 390 px, dark and light, the rail foot, the address and the machine id masked: miner-dashboard.webp
(the hero, same name), miner-earnings, miner-prove, miner-settings, miner-dashboard-light, miner-phone.
miner.html: a page-by-page section (the card row cell by cell, three page shots, light and the phone), the lead and
the meta copy name the four pages and pounds a day at the user's price, the Ember Tune feat carries the app's one
sentence and the measured PC 1 rows from the 6 Oct log (5090: 311.0 to 226.8 W for 0.15% of rate; 4070: 106.0 to
75.6 W for none; the floor, not the optimum), the Power control feat (one approval, then the helper task, no prompts),
the dev fee moved to Earnings as in the app. index.html: the same hero shot, two pills. build.mjs: the caption no
longer says 'until 0.3.6' (0.3.14 still says Igneum Miner). The 9070 XT row, the market price for pounds earned and
the bench anchor (the run 6 entry is on the ship0314 branch) are marked as owed or coming.
relay/playbooks/site-capture-pc1.ps1: a read-only run job that shoots the installed app's UI on PC 1 with Edge
headless and drops the PNGs on the relay (no quit, pause, resume or settings change; passes the playbook checks).

Branch site-truth-2026-10-06 = master 2cf8851 + merge of ledger-text (the 45 conceded sentences of the 5 October close) + cherry-picks 6141e01, 8c5b02f (the bounty strikes) and 45d135e (review round 4 reddit) + this commit. The hero chip line follows the owner's pick of 16:25 UTC (draft (a) of docs/plans/counter-asic-3-status.md section 6 with the owner's last sentence). Every number carries its source beside it. No em dashes. Site build, identity-check.sh (0 hits over 224 files) and the private-string sweep of the built pages pass.
Changed sentences, before and after (lines are master's where the sentence existed):
site/index.html:343 hero
before: A custom chip gains under 2x, and the model is public.
after: The strongest recompute chip we can price, holding the whole 256 MiB cache on-die, reaches under 1x per chip against an RTX 5090. A memory-controller chip that stores the whole dataset reaches 1.2x per chip and, in our model, 5x to 9x per joule; the Ethash chips of this class reached 2.1x to 4.8x. The lever against it, program work in the latency shadow, is measured and in its gates: it brings the chip to about 2x. The model is public: the numbers.
before: An NVIDIA card with 24 GB or more proves every block and gets paid for it; AMD and Apple cards mine.
after: Every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves and is paid for it; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server (eleven rented cards, RTX 3060 to RTX 5090, 6 October 2026, docs/analysis/prover-tiers-real-cards.md). AMD and Apple cards mine.
site/index.html:372 before: miners active after: vote keys active in 10 min (a card runs several)
site/index.html:400 and the chain scene script before: the "proven" and "locked" counters counted the simulation while the scene carried the live label after: in live mode the counters read the observer (proven = blocks in the window every shard of which is verified, "not active" while the proving layer is off; locked = locked checkpoints in the window) and the simulated shard sparks stop
site/index.html:484 before: One click. The card mines; an NVIDIA card with 24 GB proves too. after: One click. The card mines; every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves, 12 GB and up mine and prove.
site/index.html:492 and site/miner.html:266 before: (the app is still labelled Igneum Miner until 0.3.6) after: (the app window still says Igneum Miner at 0.3.13)
site/litepaper.html:301 abstract before: A custom chip gains under 2x, and the model is public; the claim is tested by paid independent cryptanalysis and the public benchmark. after: draft (a) as on the hero, then the sources (chip-model-v3.md section 5; the Ethash rows of asic-resistance-history.md; Counter ASIC 3.0 item 8), then "The model is public; the claim is tested by paid independent cryptanalysis and the public benchmark."
site/litepaper.html:396 before: About one a second after: About one a second with the full fleet; 0.65 a second over the hour to 16:00 UTC on 6 Oct 2026 with one PC off (the live page's hour count, 2,325 blocks)
site/litepaper.html:400 before: version 0.3.5; 0.3.6 staged after: version 0.3.13 (6 Oct 2026); the app window still says Igneum Miner
site/litepaper.html:412 added after "not on maths or bandwidth.": Measured: an RTX 5090 hashes at 95 GB/s of useful 4-byte loads against 1,638 GB/s of sequential writes (engineering log, the RTX 5090 entries).
site/litepaper.html:424 before: It claims the gain is small, the response takes a week, and both are measured. after: It states the gain its own model finds, the response takes a week, and both are measured.
site/litepaper.html:440 (vs RandomX, Useful work) before: NVIDIA cards with 24 GB or more prove every block and sell proofs to other chains; AMD and Apple cards mine, ... after: Every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server (eleven rented cards, RTX 3060 to RTX 5090, 6 October 2026, docs/analysis/prover-tiers-real-cards.md); they sell proofs to other chains. AMD and Apple cards mine, ...
site/litepaper.html:452 before: Proving needs an NVIDIA card with 24 GB or more (32 GB until the fee switch of 6 October 2026; ...). AMD and Apple cards mine. A prover for them lands when a zkVM ships one. after: Proving: every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server. Measured on eleven rented cards ...: the RTX 3060 (12 GB) mines at 23.78 MH/s and proves the v1 shard beside its miner at an 8.9 GB peak in 37.5 s; the RTX 4060 (8 GB) proves it alone at 7.4 GB in 18.4 s; the RTX 4090 (24 GB) proves it on the stock SP1 server in 5.6 s at 17.4 GB. The patched server that fits the smaller cards is not yet in the shipped app. AMD and Apple cards mine. A prover for them lands when a zkVM ships one.
site/litepaper.html:454 before: The old 12 GB gate on the roadmap is withdrawn until a prover build with a smaller floor is measured. after: ... was withdrawn on 5 October until a prover build with a smaller floor was measured; on 6 October a patched server proved the same shard at 7.4 to 8.0 GB alone on eleven rented cards from the RTX 3060 to the RTX 5090 (the real-card table), so the gate returns as measured and the patched server is not yet in the shipped app.
site/litepaper.html:562 (Hardware) before: 24 GB proves full shards (measured on a 32 GB card's allocation; a 24 GB card has not run it yet) and 32 GB mines and proves on one card, measured 5 October 2026 on this prover build (a 12 GB card does not prove on it: the GPU prover's floor is 13.9 GB). after: Every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server (eleven rented cards, RTX 3060 to RTX 5090, 6 October 2026, docs/analysis/prover-tiers-real-cards.md).
site/litepaper.html:645 (Governance, admin keys) appended: On the devnet the activation heights and one execution-state restart (6 October 2026) reach every node through the signed update manifest, so on the devnet the release key acts as the operator; the sentence above holds for mainnet consensus only once that path is closed, and the public testnet terms will say which parameters still travel that way.
site/litepaper.html, Questions miners ask added: the entry "Don't ASICs make a chain safer?" (three parts and a five-row table; the rental row cites the fleet's bench entry that lands tonight and the 50-miner wave row reads "measurement tonight")
site/litepaper.html:733 (What Igneum does not claim, the chip item) before: ... approximate; the claim is under 2x, the margin is stated on the numbers page, and the next lever is named there. No hash has stayed free of chips forever; Igneum does not claim to. Monero's seven years without a public chip are precedent, not proof. after: ... approximate. The same model, drawn out to the chip that stores the dataset (6 October 2026): draft (a) with its sources. No hash has stayed free of chips forever; Igneum does not claim to. Monero's seven years without a public chip are precedent, not proof, and a small prize: they say nothing about the price of a chip with the 256 MB cache on its die, and that price is a cost model, not a measurement.
site/litepaper.html, the four bounty sentences (301, 424, 684, 686): struck as on ca2-coord 6141e01 and 8c5b02f
site/litepaper.html, the 45 sentences of the 5 October close: as on ledger-text d49eebb (merged)
site/miner.html:7, 13, 21 (meta) before: and an NVIDIA card with 24 GB proves. after: and every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves.
site/miner.html:252 before: Install. Start. The card mines. An NVIDIA card with 24 GB proves too. after: Install. Start. The card mines. Every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove.
site/miner.html:308 before: ... and, on an NVIDIA card with 24 GB or more, the prover. AMD and Apple cards mine; after: ... and, on an NVIDIA card, the prover: every NVIDIA card from 8 GB proves; 12 GB and up mine and prove; 24 GB on the stock server (eleven rented cards, ...); the patched server for the smaller cards is not yet in the shipped app. AMD and Apple cards mine;
site/evidence.html before: hand-kept, "30 claims · 4 Oct 2026", row 21 "unwritten" after: generated by site/build.mjs from docs/evidence.md (31 rows, the counts, the date), scrubbed as /bench is
docs/evidence.md row 17 before: The chip resistance target: a chip gains under 2x over a GPU after: The chip resistance claim: the strongest recompute chip under 1x per chip against an RTX 5090; the stored-dataset chip 1.2x per chip and 5x to 9x per joule in the model (2.1x to 4.8x by the Ethash precedent); the latency-shadow lever, measured and in its gates, brings it to about 2x
docs/evidence.md the card-lifetime row numbered 22 under "What moved on 5 October" becomes row 31 of the table; "Hetzner VMs" becomes "cloud VMs", "recommended to Josh" becomes "recommended to the owner"
docs/fud-ledger.md, docs/fud-fixes.md taken from fud-close dc12d76 (167 entries); two lines reworded for the identity check (the log key, the log intake)
site/ledger.html new: every ledger entry with the critic's words, what was done, the status and the date, the count table on top (53 conceded, 54 fixed or built, 27 closed by rule or decided, 13 answered with evidence, 13 by design, 7 open); generated by tools/ledger-page.mjs
site/vercel.json the /ledger redirect removed
site/partials/footer.html "Ledger: every criticism" added under Read (so every page's footer changed)

Josh, 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 (7adcd4c, its --tune/--set-gmax/--set-plimit/
--reset contract) and the Power control switch (3562f26). 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 Josh 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.

Fed by /api/explorer from the observer's tables. Latest blocks (hash, number, DAA, blue score, miner, txs, proof
records, time); a block's header, parents, children, mergeset, coinbase outputs, EVM transactions, shards, checkpoint
and certificate; an address's blocks, what they earned, vote keys and balance (eth_getBalance when EXPLORER_EVM_RPC is
set). Same tokens as live.html. vercel.json rewrites /block/:id and /address/:addr; the footer links the explorer; the
link checker skips template literals and resolves /api/<name> to its function. node tools/site-serve.mjs previews the
site with the functions in-process.

The numbers profitability sites and pool software read (WhatToMine's form: explorer or pool with an API, the halving
schedule, a source for total coins). Reward and supply from the emission rule at the node's DAA score; the halving table
(33 rows), the 30-day ramp and the observer's coinbase check. Cached 10 s, CORS open. FIELDS in each handler is the
contract; public-stats.test.mjs checks it from a fixture, tools/ci/public-api-check.mjs checks a deployment.

site/lib/emission.mjs is the emission rule as igneum.rs computes it (block_subsidy, launch_ramp, an exact floor-sum for
minted-so-far); its tests reproduce the node's own test values and a devnet coinbase (block 2622db76: payload 454,486,399
at DAA 125,064, outputs 454,485,299 = E(125,063), what the merged parent declared). Every live_blocks row gains tx_count,
evm_miner (the IGNA tag, else the vote key's low 20 bytes), proof_records (IGNP section), subsidy_sompi, paid_sompi,
selected_parent, number, detail. No extra RPC per block: measured 282 against 283 wRPC and 785 against 776 EVM calls
per minute before and after. live_state.rpc_load and live_state.supply_check are new.

Written tonight, then moved: P3 (overclaim 25 plus the certificate-half numbers), M29 (the app paragraph rewritten to Ember 0.3.9), E16 text half (the 20% is burned under igneum-proving-pool-v0, provers paid from the execution-state escrow), L9 (devnet no-value line beside every download control, the tiles), L2 text half (no "so" clause), E17 text half (100,000-gas calls, fleet-size dependence), E13 (the six-row payment-route table in the litepaper Economics and the customer brief, from docs/design/payment-routes.md), E6 (the schedule as a bet), C13 (Monero's record does not price the die), L8 (Circle's decision), X3 (August 2027 under the proofs feed), M10 (overclaim 14 applied).
docs/fud-fixes.md gains section 2.7 with one row per group. Site rebuilt with node build.mjs (the live downloads index moved the HiveOS package to 0.3.9; journey.json regenerated from the log).

Litepaper: Who are you names the entity that ships the software, the team is pseudonymous with no team page, the ledger and the benchmark source are public with the repository at the public testnet, the last paragraph gives the mailbox and the address. Miner: the dev fee goes to Igneum Labs LTD. Evidence (md and page): repository private until the public testnet. Trademark FILING.md: applicant Igneum Labs LTD at the DIFC address.
