network.md 5.11 and proposal 1: Kaspa's relay requests one round per batch, so at 10 bps and a 2-s RTT the hub took
one spoke block in three (every block a chain block, two thirds of the network's hash merged nowhere); at 400 ms it
took all of them. The fourth gate for any rate step: relay delivers the full block rate at the measured inter-region
RTT with margin. CLAUDE.md's block-rate line carries it. The live 1 bps devnet offers under one block per RTT and is
nowhere near it. Controller rows (node document 7.2): rule v3 at 600 ms holds 9.93 blocks/s with the difficulty 4.5
percent over the hash-implied value; the live rule v2 reads 22 percent under on the same DAG shape.
Ledger N4: the vote weigh-up's silent desktop key, upload by upload from miner_logs and the observer: the voter never
died and --no-vote was never set; the node fell off the network (a digest-mismatch refusal, then a same-digest peer
that relayed nothing), its tip froze for 53 minutes, and the miner hashed and voted on the frozen template with
synced=true throughout while the node accepted 1,750 blocks into a dead branch. The fix pair on the fork (miner
e6e1fbe2, node 96619b7d); infra/fast-time/miner-stall.mjs: stall PASS (STALLED at 30 s, exit 45 at 31.5 s), moving
PASS, today's miner FAILS as it must.
infra/fast-time/fork-gate.mjs and vote-or-burn.mjs with the replay gate (--replay). First lines: vote-or-burn none
PASS, the known-failed case FAILS, burn PASS on the payout (ratio 0.8000, pool 0.25) but the REPLAY FAILS: a node
synced from genesis across the span disqualified 240 blocks as UTXO-invalid (its silence reading differs from a
node that was present), so both vote switches stay never until the reading is a pure function of the block's past;
fork gate: the first run idled the honest side and the depth read 0 (fixed on the fork, 3301cf32: depth along both
chains), the re-run's lines follow. The tree ships as 0.3.17 (node document section 7).
