igneum-labs b04c4b3ac9 Build boxes: the class router is a preference with spill-over (a held or overloaded box hands the job to the other one); build-2 gets a third slot and every run there is bounded on its own 32-core band; the spill decision in the first route line, the slot label and the JSONL row
the project lead, 7 October 2026 15:02 UK: build-1 at load 139 / 114 / 90 with both slots held and a 1 h 40 min queue while build-2 read 4.5 with
free slots, because the class router pinned each class to its box. Now lib.sh bs_route_spill reads the preferred box (free slots,
1-minute load) with one ssh and hands the job to the other box when the preferred one has no free slot or sits above load 64 and the
other qualifies; neither qualifying queues on the class's own box. The decision travels as BR_ROUTE_* into the JSONL "route" object
for the dashboard. build-2's slots file reads 3; everything on box 2 runs at nice 10 / 32 cores / -j 32, and a bounded run takes
the band its slot owns so three never share a core. Self-test tools/ci/route-spill-check.sh (thirteen cases) in the gate.

The build boxes (infra/build-server)

Three Hetzner dedicated servers in Falkenstein run everything the Mac must not: builds, test suites, benchmarks, CPU proving, the devnet hands and the observer. The Mac keeps macOS binaries, the DMG and Metal tests (CLAUDE.md, "Running agents on this Mac").

No mining on any Hetzner box, ever

the project lead's rule through main, 7 October 2026: Hetzner's policies forbid crypto mining. The boxes run nodes, builds, tests, benchmarks and CPU proving only. The pool's fast-time network runs its miners on rented GPU pods (tools/fleet), never on a box; a box may run the network's nodes. The capacity layer refuses a job that would start igneum-miner mine or a GPU worker (capacity/run.sh), and no hands unit carries a miner. A node started with --enable-unsynced-mining is a node flag, not a miner; nothing feeds it blocks here.

The boxes and the kind map

Box Host file on the Mac Takes Never
igneum-build-1 (188.40.146.49, AX162-1-LTD) ~/.config/igneum/build-server release gates (--priority gate), builds and cross-builds, checks, the GPU workers' host side, the devnet hands (node 1, the observer node, the observer), the Devnet 2 seed, the CI runner, the dashboard feed suites and benches once box 2 exists
igneum-build-2 (AX162-1, on order) ~/.config/igneum/build-server-2 suites (cargo test), benches (cargo bench), the attack rows (--box 2) gates, hands
igneum-build-3 (AX102-1, on order) ~/.config/igneum/build-server-3 proving and aggregation CPU work (proving/igneum-prove builds and suites), the second prover's shadow runner, the pool's fast-time NETWORK (nodes only, --box 3) miners of any kind

tools/build-remote.sh routes by class (lib.sh bs_route): suite and bench to box 2, the proving crate to box 3, everything else to box 1; --box N overrides; a class whose box has no host file yet falls back to box 1 and says so. --priority gate always runs on box 1. Each box has its own mirrors, slots, locks and JSONL log under /srv; run-from-mac.sh --box N <ip> provisions a box and writes its host file; the dashboard collector reads every box it is told about.

Files

File What
provision.sh the box itself: install mode (rescue system, Ubuntu 24.04, RAID 1, no swap) and provision mode (user build, toolchains, the pin, sccache, zig, CUDA headers, docker, Caddy, mirrors, slots, sshd, ufw)
run-from-mac.sh ships provision.sh, writes the host file, wires the build remotes and pushes every branch
lib.sh, remote-run.sh the Mac and box halves of a remote run: sync, checkout, slots, scheduling classes, the JSONL line
hands/ the devnet hands' units, the mover and the restart read-backs
capacity/ the capacity layer (the box-work lane's): background jobs under the build slots, never a miner
repro/, night/, prover/, runner/, workers/ other lanes' pieces that live on the boxes
