docs/analysis/counter-asic-4-research.md (excluded from the public export): edge = (E_card + F) / (E_mem + k F); at zero premium the stored-dataset chip keeps E_card / E_mem, 3.6x on a 5090 locked at 1,400 MHz (measured card, modelled chip), about 2x at that card's idle-plus-memory bound, 1.7x on the M5 Max; class v5 at zero shadow leaves it at 5.1x to 9.1x; the shadow buys 2.1x at k = 1 for the measured 88 W (81.8 W at the knee) and turns against us below 1.8 pJ per op; per-card classes, the refresh as a cost, proof of useful work, memory shaping and the tensor block priced out with their arithmetic; ten designs ranked with the chip edge, the 5090 and 4070 premiums, the verifier cost, agent hours and what breaks each; the recommendation in five sentences; consequences per tier.
proto-cuda/nvrtc/worker.cpp: opt-in SM-sparse variants sp<N> and sp<N>-w<W> (a persistent grid of N blocks of W warps over the dispatch's nonces; the bound kernel rewritten at compile time with exact anchors into a unit function plus a wrapper of the kernel's name; made on demand by name, never in the default race; refused on variant-5 packs and with minBlocks). Gate: mingw cross-compile on igneum-build-1 under lease pool (class measure, label "ca4 research"), exit 0 with -Wall -Wextra, 22:48 UTC; exe sha256 ee8d0e70dd101f125f42c0c7cf07481a794ee18a1317acf68561b37ea18d72be; unrun on a card (the hash lane's PC 1 job run-ca4-pc1-ca4sparse-5090-20261007 is its first run).

A served page, or a miner or wallet screen (behind IGNEUM_OVERLAP_APPS=1), where a visible run of text is covered by another element (a pill over a caption, a label over a value, a card over its neighbour, text under the header at rest), clipped by an overflow-hidden ancestor, or past the viewport; a page that scrolls sideways. Five widths, light and dark, the home hero at rest and at each step. A fixture with one deliberate overlap of each kind must be flagged first (--self-test). Needs a headless Chromium: CI installs Playwright; the Mac ships the pages to build-2 (infra/build-server/overlap-browser.sh).
7 October 2026: the hero's step pill sat on the caption's second line ("Two thirds of the weight sign. The checkpoint locks.") at every desktop width, found by the project lead on the live site
| kill by exact command or pid file (owed as a check) | 6 October 2026, 21:09Z: a Mac-side pkill -f <log file name> matched nothing (the log name was a redirect, not part of the command line), the roll-everything script lived on and wiped a box it had been told to hold. Rule: a job is stopped by its pid file (tools/fleet/fleet-bg.sh start|stop <name>) or by a pattern anchored on its exact command line (^python3 -u /root/fleet/in/box-prover.py), never by a word that may or may not appear in it. The check that flags a pkill -f/pgrep -f whose literal is a path or a name that never starts a command line is owed to the CI lane |
