igneum-josh 34561145f9 Public-testnet readiness: fee floors and pgas table analysis, testnet identity doc, G14 rewrite plan with dry run, G13 signed build inputs, testnet terms, MetaMask page
- docs/analysis/base-fee-floor.md: the base-fee floors (100 gwei per gas, 10,000 gwei per pgas), B_p 120,000 and
  S_p 30,000 pgas, the calibrated v1 pgas table (intrinsic 300, modexp 10 + 1 per 10 bytes) from the measured 44
  cycles per EVM gas and 9 cycles per pgas, with the arithmetic and a stated price assumption; spec 05 section 5.10.
  The parameters are implemented on the node fork branch testnet-params (vendor, not in this repository).
- docs/testnet/README.md: igneum-testnet-1 (chain id 4462, ports 268xx, frozen genesis 2026-10-05T00:00:00Z with
  its message and hash, mainnet finality window, every switch from genesis, no override file) and the reset policy.
  Every value proposed, for the morning sign-off.
- docs/plans/history-rewrite.md: G14, the exact git-filter-repo pass, the dry run on a throwaway mirror clone (0
  identity hits, 0 secrets, every stamp +0000, 312 commits), what breaks and the order for the morning.
- G13: app/igneum-app/src/inputs.rs and igneum-ota-sign sign-inputs / verify-inputs; push-inputs.sh signs
  payload-inputs.json with the OTA key and pins the node commit (packaging/windows/node-source.pin);
  windows.yml verifies the signature with the embedded key, the zip, every file and the pin before building and
  uploads the verified record; fetch-ci-artifacts.sh signs the update manifest only with --sign-manifest <run-id>
  after re-verifying that run's inputs. test-inputs-signing.sh (16 cases) and tools/ci/check-workflow-shell.mjs.
- site: testnet terms on the download section, wallet.html (wallet_addEthereumChain, chain ids 4462/4463, IGN, 18
  decimals), the litepaper's app paragraph (MetaMask and the coming Igneum Wallet, no hardware wallet) and the
  miner fee sentence (no protocol fee; optional 1% in the miner software, off with one flag). node site/build.mjs
  and the link check pass.

Igneum protocol specification, version 0.1

3 October 2026. Written so that a stranger can reimplement a node, a miner and a verifier and reach the same bits. Conventions, number labels (Measured, Implemented, Designed, Target) and the break-submission route are in section 0.

Section File Status One line
0 00-overview.md Designed Scope, normative language, what is implemented and what is designed, versioning, how to submit a break
1 01-lottery-hash.md Measured (construction, vectors on three GPU vendors and two CPU references); Designed (header binding, day key, growth, era schedule); Open where marked Seed words, generator, memory-hard cache and items, 32-lane unit and the wave64 rule, CPU verifier, epoch, day and era schedules, test vectors, determinism, conformance, the prototype-value list
2 02-consensus.md Designed The ordering layer as a delta on rusty-kaspa: 1 BPS and the steps, k, merge depth, DAA, header fields, emission, duplicate inclusion
3 03-finality.md Designed (simulated without a DAG, not implemented, not reviewed) Weight W1 to W5, checkpoints C1 to C5, quorum Q1 to Q4 with the 56.7% floor and the simulation that justifies it, the eclipse case closed by the floor (3.3.2), participation from votes in blocks (Q2, 3.4.1), sortition, fork choice, equivocation, residual risks, the first month, exchange guidance
4 04-seeds-and-vdf.md Measured (primitive, one machine); Designed (pipeline); Open (fallback) Class-group Wesolowski VDF, T from a genesis reference rate, 20-minute and 2-hour leads, proof format, who evaluates, fallback options
5 05-fees-and-economics.md Designed Base fee burned, priority fee 80/20 with per-frame attribution and the factory rule, proving pool, job market 90/10, no development fund, parameter signalling at 60%, upgrades at 90%, no stake, no treasury
6 06-open-items.md Open 60 items, each with the experiment or decision that closes it and its gate; O-2.8 closed and O-3.3, O-3.7, O-5.1, O-5.2 and O-5.6 narrowed on 3 October 2026
7 07-execution.md Designed (normative extract of docs/design/execution-layer.md; nothing implemented or measured) EVM semantics on the DAG (number, timestamp and its monotonicity rule, blockhash, PREVRANDAO from the epoch VDF, coinbase, gas limit, chain id, the quoted gas price), shard assignment by sortition (8 provers, 10-s window, then open, no bond), bridges (none official, no bridged stablecoins at genesis, proof bridge with the consensus proof in phase two)
8 08-client-security.md Decided (3 October 2026; nothing implemented) Reproducible builds with hashes in the repository, the release key published in genesis and held in hardware, the client refuses unsigned updates and never updates silently, the client cannot change consensus (90% signalling), notarised builds, official download sources with the hash beside the button, seed shown and confirmed before mining, hardware wallet option, the permanent line "Nobody from Igneum will ever ask for your seed."
9 09-pool-protocol.md Designed (nothing implemented) Pool and member after Stratum V2's job declaration: full, commitment or member-declared templates checked against the member's own verifier, JSON over TLS, shares as partial solutions of the header-bound lottery hash (target64 << s, weight 2^-s, verified per 32-lane group at the measured CPU cost), one vote key per operator held by the member and never the pool, votes signed by the member and only relayed and carried by the pool, the chain-only test for a pool that drops votes, custodial pools visible on chain, open items O-9.1 to O-9.9
10 10-light-client.md Designed (nothing implemented) What a phone or browser verifies without a node: trust assumptions stated per row, checkpoint headers plus BLS certificates with the voter bitmap and the wrapped segment proof at launch, the consensus proof in phase two, bytes per day per mode (3.44 MB in checkpoint mode at 1,000 voters, approximate), a pinned seed list with no DNS dependency on the phone and the stated wss dependency in a browser, the read-only node API, the homepage card's steps made true, open items O-10.1 to O-10.9

Prototype values (carried by the implementation today, part of the test vectors, confirmed or replaced at gate 1): seed derivation; 64 instructions x 8 iterations; 8 registers; the op weights including the 25% load weight; the output fold rotations; the 256 MiB cache, 64 lines per segment and ChaCha12; 8 item rounds and the mixer shape; the 1 GiB pack dataset against the 2 GiB genesis size; the 3,600 DAA s epoch; the era length, draw bounds and reserve list; the header binding of the init words. The full table with what fixes each is section 1.16.
