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 2b3a44f; 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.

docs/provenance.md: table of every component Igneum uses (origin, licence, what changed, why, how measured), what is new, what to adopt from upstream, own-code licence pending the project lead's decision. Licences verified on disk: rusty-kaspa ISC, chiavdf Apache-2.0, igneum-pow MIT, blake2b_simd MIT, blake3 CC0 or Apache-2.0, sha2 MIT or Apache-2.0, secp256k1 CC0, keccak Apache-2.0 or MIT. RandomX, SP1, revm, blst, ProgPoW, LWMA, Monero, GMP, sha3: approximate, not cloned.
site: litepaper gains the Built on the shoulders section and nav entry; index gains the two-line mention and footer link near the RandomX comparison; the block rate reads one block a second at launch, rising, where it read as permanent (litepaper diagram, index live section).
tools/upstream: README with the exact merge commands, expected conflict files from fork-divergence, the test list and the consensus-review rule; sync-upstream.sh fetches and opens the merge on a branch without committing. Not run against the fork.
docs/commercial/prover-customer-brief.md: one-page brief for a first proving customer at testnet, timeline from journey.json, risks, 10 candidates labelled approximate.

Records the 3 Oct 2026 rename pass in vendor/igneum-node (binary, process
name, user agent, data and log paths, env vars, address prefixes, DNS
seeders, default build set) and what stays Kaspa-named internally. The
Windows miner guide and the observer README now start igneumd.

- 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.

Every open, conceded and answered-with-remainder entry of docs/fud-ledger.md
as one row: fix, owner, timing, and whether it exposes the team. The 78
overclaims checked against the live site text. What the 3 October decisions
close. The pre-public-repo scrub, in order, including the history rewrite.

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.

docs/spec/01 to 06 and the README index, alongside the existing overview. Section 1 is the normative
definition of the lottery hash with test vectors copied from the igneum-genesis-mh pack (cache fingerprint
48c4f5bf24166b2e, 96 hashes, mixer constants) and every prototype value marked with the measurement that
fixes it at gate 1. Sections 2 to 5 are the design as decided on 3 October 2026, labelled Designed. Section 6
lists 60 open items with the experiment or decision that closes each and its gate.

docs/fork-divergence.md: every rusty-kaspa file the fork changed (file, what,
why, risk, upstream-merge note), the decisions left open (8 vs 18 decimals,
temporary epoch seed, day seed, lane-to-target mapping, pool payee, depth
bounds, PoW after GHOSTDAG) and the per-second subsidy table.
docs/bench-log.md: 3 October 2026 entry for the 3-node igneum-devnet run at
0.84 blocks/s with the 80/20 coinbase and vote_key_hash verified on all nodes.

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.

Exporter writes kernel.cl next to kernel.cu (same instruction list; memory-hard core emitted in a third, OpenCL C
dialect with the same literals as memhard.h). Pack headers are now C99-safe so a plain C host can include them.
proto-opencl/host.c: C99 + OpenCL 1.2 API, device list, runtime build, cache fill and FNV check, dataset build and
self-test, 3 vector warps standalone and in batch, bench and sweep as host.cu, whole-batch fingerprint. The 32-lane
exchange is sub_group_shuffle_xor only when the queried sub-group size for a 32-item work-group is exactly 32;
otherwise a local-memory exchange with one barrier per exchange, so wave64 hardware cannot change the hash
(WAVEFRONT.md). build.sh (macOS, Linux), build.bat (MSVC), README with the exact AMD-rig commands.
Proven without AMD silicon: Apple OpenCL 1.2 on the M5 Max 96/96 on all three packs (45.0 Mhash/s at 1 GiB, Apple
number, not AMD); pocl 7.2 CPU device 96/96 on both exchange paths including the real sub_group_shuffle_xor text;
CPU emulator 7 configurations incl. 64-wide sub-groups, identical fingerprint f99fb375b3abeaf5 everywhere.

Class group (1024-bit prime discriminant from the checkpoint hash, chiavdf
construction, NUDUPL/NUCOMP/Lehmer xgcd ported from vendor/chiavdf) and an
RSA-2048 trusted-setup stand-in for timing. eval, block prover, verify,
epoch_seed/verify_epoch_seed, grinding model, README with measurements and
the parameter recommendation, bench-log entry.
M5 Max: class 163k sq/s (T 98 M for 10 min, 588 M for 1 h), verify 4.5 ms,
proof 516 bytes; full 10-min runs for both groups; grinding gain for a 30%
miner +3.62 blocks/epoch with no delay, 0 with it.

proto-metal: default dataset is now the memory-hard construction (MEMHARD.md), --closed-form keeps the original.
Cache fill 2 ms GPU / 185 ms one CPU core; dataset build 20.6 ms; GPU cache == CPU cache on all 2^26 words.
Shortcut ratio: inline kernel 111x faster than honest (closed form) to 4.8x slower (memory-hard), 1 GiB.
CPU verify 0.63 to 0.80 ms per warp at 104 loads, 1.21 ms at 144 loads (4,608 items): 10 ms gate met.
Levers --load-weight and --wide-frac implemented and measured, both off; default generator unchanged.
Fuzz 200/200, edge, determinism, memcheck, stats re-run on the new dataset, all PASS.
proto-cuda: host.cu handles both dataset modes; new pack igneum-genesis-mh with memhard.h; clang emulation PASS
including the three-way cache check. Old packs unchanged; closed-form export is byte-identical to them.
docs/bench-log.md: dated summary.
Note: a concurrent session running git commit -a swept earlier states of these files into its site commits
(7b28d5e through d6539fa); this commit carries the remainder.
