Josh, 5 October 2026: "why is it taking so long for pc2 and pc1s tasks to spin up?". The PCs have no inbound ports
and one miner is off the LAN, so one thread per app now long-polls the relay's public /wake with the last stamp
(GET <url>?since=<stamp>, held up to 45 s there). A changed stamp sends Event::Wake and the engine fetches the jobs
file at once (signature check unchanged); a wake during a fetch in flight fetches again right after it. The first
reply only seeds the stamp. Backoff 5, 15, then 60 s while the relay is unreachable, a 10 s floor between requests,
a full hold when the relay has no stamp yet: never a busy loop. One log line per wake, one when it falls back, one
on recovery. IGNEUM_APP_JOBS_WAKE_URL overrides the URL (set and empty: no waker).
CHECK_EVERY_S 600 -> 120: the poll is the fallback now; the first poll stays 40 to 60 s after start. An unchanged
file is no longer logged on every poll. Remote jobs off stops the waker too.
Unit tests: the stamp logic (seed, same, changed, empty), the backoff sequence and the recovery flag, the floor,
the URL and query. cargo test -p igneum-app: 60 + 22 pass; cargo build --release -p igneum-app: finished.

publish-jobs.sh --deploy POSTs the new stamp (published_at plus 8 hex of the file's sha256) and the added id to the
relay's /wake once the live file verifies. The relay token goes in a 600-mode header file, never on the command line
or the screen. Prints "woke the apps (stamp ...)" or a one-line warning; the apps' 2-minute poll still catches it.
tools/jobs.mjs status reads relay_wake (one row per publish with the ids it added) and prints "woken +N s after the
publish" for a machine's latest job that a publish added; nothing when the table does not exist yet.
docs/plans/release-0.3.6.md: "Instant jobs" section with the design, the expected latency and a TODO row per machine
for the measured number once 0.3.6 is live. packaging/ota/README.md: the 10-minute poll is history.

GET /wake?since=<stamp> is public (the apps hold no token) and rate limited (30 a minute per IP). It holds up to
45 s, re-reading the stamp every 2 s, and answers {stamp, at, added, changed, held_ms} the moment the stored stamp
differs from since, else the unchanged stamp at the deadline. POST /r/<token>/wake {stamp, added} (the relay's
auth, also x-relay-token or x-igneum-key on /wake) records a stamp; one row per stamp in relay_wake, created by the
first POST. maxDuration 60 s for api/wake.mjs in vercel.json. api/relay.mjs is untouched.
The handler lives in lib/wake.mjs with its dependencies injected; relay/test/wake.test.mjs drives it with a fake
database, a fake clock and a fake sleep (the hold, the change, the deadline, the rate limit, the hold cap, auth, a
database error). CI's site job runs it with the other relay tests.

The first PC build (job build-20261005-075300) failed in 52 s: the node's crates depend on ../../../../igneum-pow,
which the zip did not carry, and the engine embeds brand/igneum-coin-1024.png, which the staged brand/ lacked.

s8-steady.mjs: two nodes, one honest vmine miner at 1 block/s, no flood,
RSS and cache-build count every 60 s, vmmap -summary at 0, 500, 1,000 and
1,500 blocks. Both builds ran 1,500 blocks on the 60x profile: before
41 to 1,342 MB by 514 blocks (9 cache builds, five 256 MiB chunks resident:
KEEP 4 plus one evicted chunk the allocator keeps) then flat, 27 builds in
1,529 blocks; after 319 MB at 510 blocks (1 build), 589 at 1,029 (the second
day's cache, by design), 603 at 1,526, 2 builds. Residual 30 MB per 1,000
blocks on both builds, read as the consensus database and caches filling,
not the PoW cache. JSON and vmmap files under
docs/benchmarks/memory-floods-2026-10-04/.

s6 +6/+3/+1 MB per load, s7 302 to 318 MB, 0 cache builds, epochs 0 to 3
rolled, 202 blocks accepted; the pass-1 column stays beside it. Result JSON
after-{s6-exhaustion,s7-flood}.json added. The s6 one-instant sink check is
noted as a harness flake.

Report docs/review/redteam-2026-10-04.md: finality attacks s1-s8 plus 34% withholding, 50/50 long partition, F23 and
F24 custom runs, ordering harness, execution suite and EVM smoke, proving hostile tests and a proof flood, difficulty v2
timestamp forging in the simulator. New fails: the fast-time harnesses corrupt the u64::MAX sentinels of the override
(F25), a block or transaction flood grows the node by hundreds of MB in a minute (M30), the coinbase does not fit the
204-byte limit on mainnet, testnet and simnet parameters (M31). F23 and F24 reproduced on this build; F21's bound
measured at one window of the side's own DAA. Scenario scripts under tools/finality-attacks/redteam/.

tools/harness: IGNEUM_HARNESS_BASE_PORT and IGNEUM_HARNESS_TMP move the test
network's ports and data directory so two agents can run it at once; the u64
sentinel round-trip in overrideParams is fixed with the BigInt reviver from
tools/finality-attacks (ledger F25); s6 records rss_start, rss_delta and
cache_builds per load and reports per-load growth (the old row subtracted one
baseline taken before all three loads, which is how the mempool flood was
read as +270 MB); s7 counts "PoW cache built" lines beside every RSS sample;
--live-only skips the s7 simulator part.
docs/bench-log.md: the 4 October 2026 (night) entry: the floods' growth was
one 256 MiB PoW cache per epoch roll (the engine kept a cache per (epoch,
day) pair, KEEP 4), measured before and after the fork fix (fork branch
fud-memory, 796f758d): submit load +263/+257 MB with 1/1 builds before,
+9/+2 MB with 0/0 after; block flood 302 to 1,085 MB with 3/3 builds before,
300 to 315 MB with 0/0 after. Result JSON under
docs/benchmarks/memory-floods-2026-10-04/.

attacks.py scenario 2 under rule v2 and Kaspa's DAA: a pulse never earns more blocks per hash than steady mining
(weight per hash 0.26 and 0.98); the economy simulator at the devnet's 124 MH/s; finality_sim scenario A (the
window is full on day 35 to 41 from zero history). The first fast-time s5 attempt failed on an override field the
integration build does not know; the re-run on the finality-fixes build is queued.

9 fee blocks in the 785 blocks of the two fee-paying miners (1.15%, expected 1 in 100 templates), the miners' fee
counters equal the chain's count on both nodes, the control miner at --dev-fee 0 paid nothing.

Spec 06 rows O-3.1, O-3.14, O-5.9 and O-5.11 carry the sweep's evidence (fix row 124 done). M20: the devnet's pruning
point leaves genesis between DAA 108,000 and 151,200, about 14:00 UTC 5 October to 01:00 UTC 6 October, after which a
fresh node rejects the honest pruning proof under the stub. The ledger ends with the sweep's status-update section;
the review file carries draft counts and the three findings.

Status lines updated from the bench-log, sim/results_v2.md, sim/difficulty/attacks and sim/economy where the
evidence existed and the ledger still said Open (M15, M17, M19, M24 fixed and live; F1, F7, F19, E12, E15 answered
with evidence; M26, M27, X21 fix built on miner-reliability; the rest annotated with what the experiment needs).
New: sim/economy/security_budget.py (E15 fee grid, price paths, hashrate response), fud-fixes section 2.5 (rows
117 to 126), docs/review/ledger-sweep-2026-10-05.md (the running table).
