A node before the exec RPC bounds fix (every 0.3.17 node) dies when a method that resolves a block number or indexes the record vector is asked while its exec follower holds no record; PC 1 crash-looped on two callers in one night (eth_getBlockByNumber from the clock sample, then igneum_getAssignedShards from the prover loop: 'panicked at igneum/exec/src/rpc.rs:808:35: range start index 1 out of range for slice of length 0'). Every caller (prover.rs's evm_rpc, update.rs's clock sample, extnode's rpc for chainfacts and the external-node probe) now goes through execrpc::call: SAFE_ON_EMPTY methods go out, GATED ones wait for igneum_getExecStatus's executedTipHash, an unclassified method is refused. The test every_caller_goes_through_the_gate scans src/ for JSON-RPC requests built elsewhere and for unclassified exec method names.

docs/plans/miner-faults.md: MF-1 to MF-7, each with its rule, test and gate line.
- MF-1/MF-2: a worker starts and is judged only when the node is READY (synced and igneum_getExecStatus reports an
executed tip; execrpc::probe every 5 s off the engine thread); the node watchdog never counts the catch-up (settled
once read synced; 30 min cap before that; any RPC answer is a sign of life); the watchdog restarts on a ladder 10 s,
30 s, 2 min, 5 min, then every 5 min for ever (watchdog::RETRY_LADDER_S); the faulted state and the one-restart
budget are gone (tools/ci/permanent-fault-check.sh in the gate); a node-caused restart resets the ladder at sync.
- MF-3: the hot-plug pass starts a recovered or revived card's worker (unchanged rule, now in the register).
- MF-4: the status clock starts at ready (program loaded), loading bounded by 300 s; a self-test failure holds the
card 30 min with the reason on its row, released on a driver change; a crash loop climbs the ladder; the pack is
exported once a minute for every card (a refused pack forces one).
- MF-5: the app reads template_wait=, template_ms=, identities_active= from the 0.3.20 miner's STATUS; waiting on
the node is never the card's fault; the row says node slow; every node-wait label clears on the first rate.
- MF-6: a miners hold belongs to the job that took it and releases when that job is gone or at its own cap.
- MF-7: the engine owns every igneum-miner it started: an untracked one on this engine's node RPC is killed at start,
after every stop and every minute, one line and one fault report per kill; a restart kills the old process first.
- Every fault line posts one FAULT line to the log intake (label fault-<id8>, app and node version, 60/h cap).
- The signed cards job kind (per card enabled, identities, power_pct; refused for a card the machine lacks; applied
through the app's own card path, persisted, read back): packaging/ota/publish-jobs.sh add --kind cards.
- LG-4 as a job: relay/playbooks/first-share.ps1 and tools/fleet/first-share-gate.mjs (no Windows box yet).
- tools/reliability: the fault injector with one step per class (catch-up, card-appears, own-restart, zero-ladder,
no-status, node-silent, one-card-fails, orphan-miner); fake-worker.mjs lists devices and fails self-tests on command.
- master's build tooling (d4bc5a94) and release-0.3.20's igneum-pow taken into the worktree for the box routes.
Box: app 198 + 27 + 8 tests green on igneum-build-2; the tree gate green (33 checks).

the test build's one warning ("duplicated attribute"): removed.

(cherry picked from commit 4f8b37b6be)
the project lead: can the drivers be packaged with the miner, for all cards, with the system knowing which to install if not
present. Not bundled: detected and installed on one click. A per-vendor table rides the signed manifest (drivers.json:
min_version, the version on offer, the vendor's URL, size, sha256 and its source page, the silent arguments, the
restart exit codes, the Authenticode signer, the Linux and HiveOS package), validated by the signer and the app alike
(src/drivertable.rs, shared), written to <app data>/drivers.json by ota.rs. Each card's driver version is read at
every detection (nvidia-smi's driver_version; Windows' DriverVersion for AMD and Intel) and compared; a missing or
old driver puts the offer on the card's row, on the dashboard and on the first-run list. The click downloads with
curl (resume), checks size, sha256 and the Authenticode subject, runs the installer through one elevated prompt
(platform::elevated_command, the PC 1 driver job's shape), reports restart required with a Restart now button, and
never restarts by itself; the miners keep mining. macOS: no step; Linux and HiveOS: the package line. Dry run through
IGNEUM_DRIVER_DRY_RUN or the table. Tests: the table, the versions, the offers per tier, the exit codes, the
Authenticode verdicts, the download against a mocked vendor server on 127.0.0.1, the UI's strip per state; the mock's
drivers scenarios; captures light and dark in docs/plans/driver-check-shots. publish-manifest.sh --drivers carries the
table. Also the doubled #[test] in detect.rs from the cherry-pick.

(cherry picked from commit a0b3982998)
The way to hold a card out of mining past a job without a script on api/cards (the 6 October rule): the runner's hold
is built with enabled=false (identities and cap kept), the report line says LEFT OFF, publish-jobs.sh carries
--cards-leave-off. For the Arc B580 on PC 1 while its worker fix rides to the shipped app. Test:
cards_leave_off_restores_the_card_as_off_with_its_settings_kept (igneum-app 157 of 157 on the box).
