deploy / build (push) Successful in 6m33s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
`#/:chain/:height` opens a block and then rewrites the address to
`#/:chain/:hash`. The redirect is the point, not tidiness: `block` is keyed on
(chain, height) and a reorg overwrites, so a height names a *position* and a
link to one comes to mean a different block the moment the chain forks there. A
hash names one block for good — including after it has lost, which is the only
way an orphan is linkable at all.

`GET /v1/chains/{chain}/blocks/{ref}` takes either spelling; a decimal number
and 32 bytes of hex cannot be confused, so a caller holding a number is not made
to guess which one this API wanted. The same reasoning puts block refs in the
second path segment beside the window: no window name is all digits or 0x plus
64 hex characters.

The answer is assembled from two sources because neither is sufficient, and
they fail at different times:

- The node holds the block and forgets it. Non-canonical bodies go once finality
  passes them (blocks-pruning defaults to archive-canonical, and Planck finalises
  ~100 blocks back), and difficulty is a state read behind a 256-block default.
- The observer holds what the node never had — when the block was seen, whether
  that sighting was at the tip — and what it has since forgotten: the difficulty
  read while the state behind it still existed.

So resolution degrades in a stated order rather than failing. Node first; a
header it cannot serve falls back to `block_displacement`, which is what makes
an orphan describable at all; a node that is away falls back to the recorded
row. `from_node` tells the reader which they are looking at, and every value
neither source has is spelled out in words — "the body is pruned", "this
observer never saw this block" — because a blank on a block page reads as zero.

Verified against the live chain: a tip block carries difficulty, one extrinsic,
a 1.9 s gap and 473 ms of propagation; height 1000000 keeps its body and loses
difficulty to state pruning; genesis has no author digest and does not panic; a
seeded displacement serves as an orphan with the winner linked, and the winner
lists it in `also_seen`.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 337d1ef516 ci: format the frontend with prettier and gate it
deploy / build (push) Successful in 6m44s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 8s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 15s
`cargo fmt --check` has gated the Rust half since the first commit; nothing
gated the TypeScript, so 25 of 31 files under web/src had drifted from the
.prettierrc that was already sitting in the repo. `pnpm format:check` is now the
counterpart, in the same step as `pnpm lint`.

The reformat is whitespace only — the emitted bundle hashes identically before
and after.

web/.prettierignore excludes src/api/generated. Those files are written by ts-rs
from the entities crate and CI already fails on any diff in them after `cargo
test`; formatting them here would be reverted by the next regeneration and turn
that drift gate red on every subsequent build. Verified by regenerating and
confirming the tree stays clean.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 9cbc2cc274 ui: put the miner count before the height tile
deploy / build (push) Waiting to run
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been cancelled
deploy / deploy-web (push) Has been cancelled
Height is the one tile with no sparkline — it only goes up, and a straight
diagonal reports nothing — so it sat in the middle of the row with an empty
slot under it, splitting the four lines into two and two. Last, it stops
interrupting them.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 7e5c2de936 feat: sparkline history under the headline tiles
deploy / build (push) Successful in 6m36s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 6s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
Adds `GET /v1/chains/{chain}/series` and a sparkline under network hashrate,
difficulty, block time and miners. Height gets none — it only goes up, and a
straight diagonal reports nothing.

The chart is bucketed by height, not by time: every point is the same number of
blocks, so every point carries equal statistical weight and a stretch nobody
recorded stays the same width on the axis as one that was. A bucket is the
window over fifty, which makes a full window exactly fifty buckets — that is
what lets the rolling miner count at the last point be the same number printed
in the tile above it, rather than a per-bucket count that would sit well below
it. Buckets are anchored to absolute height for the same reason `miner_series`
bins from the epoch: anchored to the tip instead, every boundary slides by one
on every block and the chart shifts under a reader watching it.

Interval comes from `authored_at`, never `observed_at`. A gap fill writes a
whole batch of observation times within the same second, so deltas taken from
it read as a chain producing hundreds of blocks a second — the trap
`RollingWindow`'s `at_tip` flag exists to avoid, which until now lived only in
memory. It is a column as of `0002`, so the distinction survives a restart and
`observed_at` is interpretable at all.

Each point's interval is a three-bucket moving average. The mean of one
bucket's gaps still carries real Poisson error — 72 blocks of a 15 s interval
lands at ±1.8 s — and across fifty points that draws a chain that appears to
change size every few minutes and does not.

Fixes a wrong number found on the way in: `pallet_qpow` retargets in
`on_finalize`, so `QPoWApi_get_difficulty` at the latest state is the
difficulty for the *next* block, not the one just seen. Every stored difficulty
was off by one block — invisible, because a gradual retarget still looks
plausible. It is now asked at `header.parent_hash`, the same call the miner
made when it built the block. A node that has pruned that state gets `None`
rather than the current value: substituting it is exactly how a gap fill would
stamp today's difficulty across a stretch of old heights. The CLI backfill had
the same bug at greater scale, copying one reading across an entire range.

Unknowns are drawn as breaks in the line, never interpolated: an outage, a
difficulty a pruned node cannot supply, a point without a full window of
authors behind it. A chart that guesses across what was never recorded is the
same class of lie as a hashrate divided by a sync speed, and just as hard to
catch afterwards.

Read against the dataviz skill first, per CLAUDE.md. Single series, one hue;
emphasis on the newest point is `--data-bright`, a lighter step of the same
bronze, because the usual "current period in the accent" convention is the one
change that would break this palette. The hover readout borrows each tile's
note line — five floating tooltips across a row of 180px tiles is a pile, not a
hover layer — and the same readout is on keyboard focus and in the aria-label,
since the line does not start at zero and its height is not a quantity anyone
should be estimating.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 5f3aac2a13 feat(chains): discover every Quantus chain from telemetry; track the ones we can reach
deploy / build (push) Failing after 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-web (push) Has been skipped
The chain list is no longer config. substrate-telemetry announces every chain it
knows — with live node counts — before and independent of any subscription, so
one feed connection that never subscribes is a complete, self-maintaining index.
A chain that launches tomorrow appears in the nav on its own.

Config now contributes only RPC endpoints. Authorship lives in the `pow_` digest
of a block *header*, and telemetry publishes hashes and heights but never
headers — so a chain with no endpoint is listed with its node count and is not
navigable, and the nav says why rather than offering an empty board. The two
sets join on genesis hash, never on name.

Two chains are tracked in full: Planck (our own node on bob) and Heisenberg
(a1-heisenberg.quantus.cat, found via Quantus-Network/quantus-apps). Both decode
identically — same digest shape, same QPoW runtime API — which is the proof that
adding a chain is one [[chains]] entry and no new code. Quantus Staging Mainnet
and Quantus Dirac Testnet are listed and disabled: no endpoint exists under the
a1-/a2- pattern and none resolves under any plausible name.

Nav is ordered by node count descending, ties broken on id so it cannot reshuffle
between refreshes.

Telemetry now also yields chain-wide best height, best finalized height, average
block time and the client-version histogram (feed codes 1, 2, 12 and 22).

Infra moves to a single site: oolon fronts blackbeard.observer, reverse-proxying
cross-site over the mesh to the API beside the node on bob. That hop is the one
the loopback health probe cannot see, so the deploy now checks it explicitly —
a firewalld service scoped to bob's own /16 would leave a live site with a dead
/v1 and nothing would fail. infra-setup gains `dns` and `cert` roles that run on
oolon with the credential already there: the Cloudflare token is never copied off
the proxy, and it refuses to repoint an apex record that already exists.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 110fbc3631 feat: blackbeard.observer — live Quantus mining leaderboard
Cargo workspace plus a Vite frontend, following ~/git/architecture/generic.md.

Every block header carries its author's wormhole reward preimage in a `pow_`
PreRuntime digest, so authorship for the whole network is derivable from headers
alone — no indexer, no registration, no way for a miner to be left out. That
decoding, the hashrate maths and the telemetry name attribution live in
blackbeard-core with no I/O at all, so the parts that are easy to get subtly
wrong are exercised by unit tests rather than only against a live chain.

The browser holds one WebSocket: snapshot on subscribe, deltas thereafter. The
head stream is itself a push (chain_subscribeNewHeads), so a block reaches the
page the moment the node imports it. Messages are serialised once per broadcast,
and leaderboards are recomputed only for windows a socket is actually watching.
No RxJS — useSyncExternalStore is React's own contract for this.

Verified against the live Planck testnet: 12/12 headers decoded, telemetry names
attributed (quanpool-planck, baba-gorchitsa, …), warm start restoring 84 blocks
and 5 held names across a restart.

Three findings worth recording, all in CLAUDE.md:

- substrate-telemetry sends its JSON in *binary* frames. A text-only client
  connects, subscribes, reports healthy and receives nothing at all — and a
  Python probe hides it, because json.loads accepts bytes.
- Difficulty is a little-endian U512; decoding it big-endian gives a number
  wrong by ~10^150 that still renders fine.
- Planck's real block interval is ~13-15s against a 6s target with enormous
  variance, so a measured interval needs 20 tip samples before it is publishable.

Deploy assets, the Gitea Actions workflow and script/infra-setup.sh are included;
port 25864 is registered in architecture/port-allocations.md.
