tools/workers/collect.mjs runs every 30 s on the box (infra/build-server/workers/igneum-workers.{service,timer},
install.sh) and writes /srv/workers/workers.json from the machine itself: /proc/stat deltas per core, meminfo, df on
/srv, net bytes, hwmon temperatures, the flock state of /srv/builds/_locks, cargo processes with worktree, target and
start time, flock waiters, /srv/builds/_log/builds.jsonl (the format agreed with the build-server agent), sccache
--show-stats, headline.json. tools/workers/push.mjs (launchd every 60 s) adds the Mac's with-lock slots and waiters
and the two PCs' relay job states from the intake, drops them on the box so its file is whole, merges the box's file
and writes the fleet folder's workers.json; it deploys only when the live copy is over 6 min old, otherwise the
fleet orchestrator's 5-minute deploy carries it. The page (tools/workers/page/workers.html, shape.js) tries
https://build.igneum.network/workers.json first and falls back to the folder copy; core strip, arcs, now building,
queue, recently done with closing lines, headline timings, analytics; UK time with UTC tooltips; phone width.
node --test tools/workers/test: 13 tests over /proc/stat, lock dir, JSONL and sccache fixtures and the page shaping.

remote-run.sh writes /srv/builds/_locks/wait-<pid> in the slot-file line format while it waits and removes it when the
slot is taken or the wait is given up (shown: present during a held slot, gone after). provision.sh installs Caddy with a
Caddyfile that serves only /srv/workers/workers.json and headline.json (every other path 404, CORS for dl.igneum.network,
no-store, Let's Encrypt only) and opens 80 and 443. Both asked for by the worker-dashboard agent, approved by main.

Main's decision of 6 October 2026. CLAUDE.md 'Running agents on this Mac': every Linux and Windows cargo build and every
Linux test suite goes to igneum-build-1 through tools/build-remote.sh and tools/cross-remote.sh; the PCs keep GPU and
Windows-runtime jobs; the Mac keeps macOS binaries, the DMG and Metal tests under the lock. -Wl,--no-insert-timestamp in
cross-remote.sh, proto-cuda/windows-node/cross-build.sh and jobbuild.rs (two box builds byte-identical, verified).
The empty-commit class: tools/ci/commit-string-check.sh (self-test in ci.yml, shown firing on a Mac worktree build and
passing on a box build) runs on every igneumd from the three build scripts; push-build-inputs.sh adds node.commit_full,
the PC job writes a minimal node/.git from it at extract and cleans kaspa-build-info on a new commit (4 jobbuild tests
pass, run on the box); cross-build.sh refuses a worktree and cleans on a new commit. Plan: second worktree's clean build
1 min 18 s with sccache 604 hits of 993.

remote-run.sh runs on the box behind BR_* exports: slot, sccache stats, the RESULT line and one JSON line per run in
/srv/builds/_log/builds.jsonl (v 1, id, host, tool, worktree, crate, kind, command, target, branch, sha, label, agent, slot,
wait_s, queued_at, start, end, secs, exit, compiles, sccache, load_end, artefacts; written on success, failure and the 2 h
slot give-up), the label ending in '; agent=<name>' (IGNEUM_AGENT, default the worktree). The remote checkout is a branch and
build-remote.sh cleans kaspa-build-info (release profile) on a new commit, so the box's igneumd carries its commit hash
(no Mac worktree build does: .git is a file there). cross-remote.sh fetches the GCC 13 runtime DLLs beside an exe that
imports libstdc++-6.dll. The plan holds the three benchmarks: clean node build 1 min 27 s (Mac 12 to 18 min), incremental
7 s (Mac 2 to 15 min), Windows cross 1 min 44 s (Mac 4 min 49 s to 12 min 28 s), their consequences and the proposed rules.

build-remote.sh runs a cargo command on igneum-build-1 from any crate directory of any worktree: HEAD through the bare
mirror (a real .git for kaspa-build-info), uncommitted changes by rsync --checksum with the written files re-stamped, a
remote slot (/srv/builds/_locks, never the Mac's), sccache, -j 90, artefacts back into target-remote/ with size and sha256.
cross-remote.sh is the Windows cross-build with the PC job's Ubuntu mingw-posix recipe plus the Mac's static flags, DLL
list and sha256 per exe, --compare against the Mac's exes. run-from-mac.sh ships provision.sh, writes
~/.config/igneum/build-server, adds the build remotes and pushes every branch of both repos. shellcheck and the CI checks clean.

Idempotent provisioning of the Hetzner AX162 build box: install mode (rescue system, Ubuntu 24.04, software RAID 1 over
the two NVMe drives, no swap, rescue keys taken over, run 6 October 2026 17:16 to 17:20 UTC) and provision mode (user build,
compilers, mingw-w64 posix, rustup 1.99.0 with the Windows target, sccache 100 GB, Node 22, bare mirrors, /srv/builds, sshd
key-only, ufw 22 + seed p2p ports). shellcheck clean.

Branch site-truth-2026-10-06 = master 9519a95 + merge of ledger-text (the 45 conceded sentences of the 5 October close) + cherry-picks 6141e01, 8c5b02f (the bounty strikes) and 1a238bc (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 a795b02 (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 the project lead" becomes "recommended to the owner"
docs/fud-ledger.md, docs/fud-fixes.md taken from fud-close c6b0bad (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)
