The statement and the pinned guests are unchanged; every fixture proof verifies as before. The defaults stay (batch-log2 22, SP1 defaults): the one knob that moves a mining card's prover costs a fifth of the hash rate; the plan carries the trade for the project lead and the batch fold for the next pin. Measured: docs/bench-log.md "aggregation cost on the RTX 5090"; the plan line: docs/plans/proving-v1.md "Aggregation cost (5 October, night)". Also: make-package's gate skips the exporter's .node-plan.json side files and takes the run lock for its execute step; the state-reply class (/api/state answering {} once paid_wei passes u64::MAX) found on the way and fixed on the app branch at 42f36b3.

(cherry picked from commit ea38ece9eaa5949dd657cbfea5308c4948177ff8)
serde_json's to_value refuses a u128 over u64::MAX (18.45 IGN) and state_json turned the error into json!({}). A paid shard is 1.23 IGN on average, so a proving machine's dashboard went blank about 15 paid shards after every app start. Unit test over the boundary; 114 app tests pass.

Fork tx-gossip e242acd0 adds the inventory relay of EVM transactions (protocol version 14) and replaces the
4-second hand-out cooldown with the hold on block-added. Here: the relay paragraph in execution-layer.md 1.4,
the 10.2 table row (hand-out cooldown, now the block-added hold) and 10.3 item 9 updated, the bench-log entry
with the PC 2 suites (igneum-exec 15 of 15, kaspa-p2p-flows 33 of 33), the digest check (unchanged,
9409dedac4bf...) and the 3-node fast-time run (A - B - C, generator on A at 2/s: 240 of 240 included, B 151
and C 105 over two hops, p50 1.5 s, 0 skipped copies, pools equal on all three nodes at every sample), the
result JSON under docs/benchmarks/evm-relay-2026-10-05/, and tools/txgen/relay-net.mjs (the harness: three
nodes in a chain on the fast-time profile, vmine on B and C paid to throwaway keys, txgen on A, inclusion
counted by miner from A's executed chain).

igneum-prove-core carries the node's fees.rs (PgasTable, FeeParams PROTOTYPE and CALIBRATED_V1,
FeeSchedule::at); the shard input and every fixture carry the schedule and the block's DAA score; the executor
reads the set at that score, raises the base fees to its floors and meters with its intrinsic, B_p and modexp
entry, as the node's execute_segment does. The 328-byte statement is unchanged: the node's native veto pins the
schedule (a new layout would be a consensus change for every node). Exporter: schedule and daaScore from the
dump (gen.mjs writes them), per-segment switch on replay, S_p from the set. Fixtures from one simnet chain across
the switch at DAA 800: fees-switch-prototype (block 51), fees-v1-shards2 (351), fees-v1-shards3 (355); 358
segments replayed, every state root the node's. Host tests on both sides. Guest re-pinned: shard
0x2b1a81cb..., aggregator 0x474678f3...; pinned-guests-check passes.
Node fork 2b6d23ef unchanged (igneum-exec tests 11 passed). Digest for the override with
fees_v1_activation_daa 210000: ab8847da538dead1dc10e046dfaadab3c1c35928e3748810c4e050d4a886087a.
Runbook docs/plans/fee-switch-devnet.md; infra/devnet/restart-hand-nodes.sh and restart-seed.sh take the
override object (the hand nodes and the seed run 20139145 today and must move to 2b6d23ef first). One line on
the live page, spec 5.11, the testnet README, the floor analysis, the bench log and the journey.

tools/txgen/run.mjs funds generated wallets from the devnet dev-fee key and sends transfers at a steady rate through
one node (nonce tracking from the pool's pending nonce, two-strike drop verdict, pool back-pressure counted as
deferred, spend cap, clean stop, summary JSON); tools/txgen/proving-watch.mjs watches the proving layer and builds the
per-block report. Two runs through the Mac node: 2,275 sent at 2/s, 2,161 included at 1.86/s (run 1), 1,650 sent,
1,633 included at 1.71/s with no failure (run 2, fixed code). Block 72704 shard 0 (29 transfers, 5,800 pgas) proven on
PC 2 in 34 s, verified on the Mac in 0.297 s, paid 1.7623 IGN.
Block 72803 (seven skipped copies, no executed transaction) failed the native-execution veto: the exporter rebuilt the
including blocks from an export that names no block, position or skipped copy's miner, sorting skipped copies out
of their block, merging consecutive blocks of one miner, dropping empty blocks (the node counts them in the link's
block index) and guessing the zero address. blocks_of now rebuilds from the 0.3.9 export's "blocks", "block" and
"position" fields (the fork change on vendor/igneum-node-txgen branch txgen-export), keeps an old export in its
order and refuses a skipped-only block without a miner. Fixtures block-72803-skipped-copies and
block-72854-empty-block-first with the node's shard plan beside each; the fixture test now checks the cut's links,
roots, gas, pgas and counts against the node's plan (shown failing on the old 72854 cut). No change under core/.
Bench-log entry and evidence rows 15 and 21.

On 5 October 2026 the Mac's host (shard program id 0x0559759b...) rejected every
proof from PC 2's host (0x05db1aca...). Both were built from the same guest
sources: host/build.rs compiled the guests on each machine and the ELF depends
on where it is built (cargo's -C metadata for a path crate includes the checkout
path; a worktree on the same Mac gave a third id, 0x0dfade07...). The node's
verifier also spent 114 s to 138 s per proof in the prover client and both key
setups before a 0.1 s to 0.4 s verify.
- elf/: both guest ELFs, their verifying keys and manifest.json (sha256, ids);
host/src/pinned.rs embeds and checks them at every start; the prove modes
refuse when SP1's setup does not derive the manifest's id
- --mode verify: LightProver with the pinned key, no prover client, no key
setup; prints the proof's own program id next to ours ("IS NOT OURS")
- --mode id; igneum-prove-pin and pin-guests.sh to re-pin; build.rs builds a
guest only under IGNEUM_BUILD_GUESTS=1
- tools/ci/pinned-guests-check.sh: elf/ must match its manifest, no script
builds a guest outside pin-guests.sh; make-package.sh and build-dmg.sh print
the pinned ids
- unit tests on the pinned set; bench-log entry with the three ids, the cause
and the timing: 127.0 s wall per verify before, 1.8 s to 2.4 s after
- rollout order in proving/README.md: every prover and verifier moves together

The fact: PC 2's exporter failed blocks 58,752 to 58,843 (and the task's 58,584 to 58,984) at
shard.rs:175, "shard 0 post-root from the witness", while three empty shards were later proven, verified and
paid. Every failing block is empty: one blue block, one reward, the pool credit, no transactions, no payouts
(igneum_exportSegments 0x0..0xe738 from the Mac node, fork 2b6d23ef). The proven block 59,507 has the same
shape and the same miner as the failing 58,927. So the difference is not block content.
The rule that differed: the planner's post-root of an empty segment. The exporter on PC 2 was a stale build
whose core predated commit d6d6153 (the assertion sits at line 175 there and at 179 since). That planner
returned root_at(end) for a segment with no transactions, which is the pre-root; the statement applied the
rewards and the pool credit, as the node does (vendor/igneum-node-036/igneum/exec/src/executor.rs,
execute_segment) and as spec 7.7 item 8 says. Left = the root after the rewards (the node's), right = the root
before them; PC 2's export log for 58,752 shows exactly that pair. Reproduced here: master's core with that one
rule put back fires the same assertion on 58,927 with left 0x7886b9cf (the node's root) and right 0xea9db302
(the pre-root). Master's core as it is reproduces 58,927 and 59,192 with the node's roots, the host's native
mode matches the fixture, and the SP1 executor runs shard 0 to post-root 0x7886b9cf.
So the prover core needs no rule change: the fix is commit d6d6153, which PC 2 received with the 10:49 and
10:52 UTC rebuilds (job-rebuild-prover-pc2-037 and 037b), after which its proofs were paid. What this commit
adds is the regression and the guard for the class:
- proving/fixtures/block-58927-empty-reward.json: the failing shape cut from the devnet (33 KB).
- proving/igneum-prove/export/tests/fixtures.rs: every fixture in proving/fixtures reproduces (block
statement, plan, every shard statement from its witness, the chain of roots and links), and the empty
segment's shard ends at the root after the rewards, never the pre-root. With the pre-d6d6153 rule put back
the test fails. The test lives in the export crate so the core's manifest, part of the guest build, stays
untouched.
- export/build.rs and host/build.rs stamp each binary with a hash of the native sources it was built from,
printed on the first line of every run, so a stale build names itself in the log instead of in a line
number (the stale-build class of 4 and 5 October).
- docs/bench-log.md: the row under the first paid proofs.
The guest is unchanged: built in one directory, this branch and master give byte-identical loadable segments
for the shard program and the aggregator, so no prover needs a rebuild for this commit. Noted on the way and
left open: the same sources built in three directories on this Mac gave two different guest ELFs, so the
program id is not yet a pure function of the sources on a native build.

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,

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

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.
