deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m29s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 15s
Adds `/:chain/about`, linked from the header just before the connection light
and the theme toggle — it is about the site rather than the chain, so it sits
there instead of in the section nav, and `header: true` on its `SECTIONS` entry
keeps it out while still letting the URL parse.

The page says what the observer is, that it and the CUDA-optimised miner are
built and freely sourced by a member of the Quantus user community rather than
by the project, and takes donations in QTC.

**The QR is generated in the browser from the address printed beside it, never
shipped as an image.** A supplied PNG next to a typed address is two
independent claims about where money goes, and nothing on the page could tell a
reader if they ever stopped agreeing — a mismatch sends funds somewhere
unrecoverable.

Verified rather than trusted. The address was put through this crate's own SS58
decoder: checksum and network prefix both hold, and it round-trips to the same
string. The QR matrix was then decoded from first principles — function-pattern
map, mask 3 unapplied, codewords de-interleaved across version 4-M's two blocks
— and reads back the address exactly. A note for whoever checks this again: an
independent encoder produces a different matrix for the same string at every
mask, because mode segmentation differs, so comparing matrices proves nothing
and only a decode does.

`the_donation_address_on_the_site_is_a_valid_quantus_address` reads the literal
out of the frontend source and validates it, so a typo fails CI rather than
costing somebody their money. Confirmed to fail on one changed character.

Also on the vesting page, from verifying it live: a "claimable now" figure and
a per-grant claimable column. Two grants began vesting at launch while the other
forty-six wait for 2027, so 68,871 QTC is already claimable and none of it has
been taken — a page that only said "first claimable" would have missed it.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 fac73f392c feat: a nodes index, so a node need not have mined to be visible
deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m23s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 6s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
Reported: `baba-gorchitsa` shows its hardware on telemetry.quantus.com and
nothing here. Not a decoding failure — we held the data. Measured, the same node
on both chains at the same moment:

    quantus  attribution=carried, 0 votes, 33 blocks   on the feed: yes
    planck   attribution=telemetry, 1 vote, 2969 blocks on the feed: no

Exactly inverted. On mainnet we had the metadata and no join to it; on Planck
the join and no node. The mainnet name is *carried* from Planck, and
`Attribution::peer_id` is `None` for anything but a telemetry attribution
because there is no node behind a carried name — that reasoning stands. The
mistake was upstream: node metadata was reachable *only* through the mining
inference, and the feed hands us every node unconditionally. 288 on mainnet, of
which a handful have ever won a block.

So `/:chain/node` lists all of them and `/:chain/node/:peer` is one, neither
gated on mining. The index merges the live feed over the cache, so a node not
re-announced since our last restart still appears, faint, with its peer count
absent rather than stale — a peer count from an hour ago is not a peer count.
Live rows sort first, then by name, and the filter matches name, peer id, CPU,
version or country, because "find my node" is the question the page exists for.

The miner panel now links to the node's own page instead of being the only way
to see it.

`reported` beside the count is the feed's own `AddedChain` figure and will not
match in either direction — 284 against 288 listed, measured, because it is a
snapshot the feed refreshes on its own cadence. Shown next to our count rather
than instead of it, since the difference is a real fact about how each was
arrived at. My first comment claimed it was "usually larger"; it was smaller the
first time I looked at it.

One trap caught in the browser rather than by the type checker: "is this the
standings?" existed three times, and adding a section updated two. The redirect
in `App` judged `/quantus/node/<peer>` to be the standings and replaced it with
`/quantus/3600-blocks` — route parsed, page existed, address bar threw it away.
It is `isStandings` now, in one place.

Closes #16

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 dd8086df0d feat: mark the accounts a chain names, and make genesis unmissable
deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m4s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 15s
Some accounts are special and nothing about the address said so. The treasury
looked like any other empty account, the minting sentinel looked like a wallet,
and the twenty-one accounts endowed at genesis looked like they earned it.

No curated list. The chain names them itself, in three places that are three
different claims and are not flattened into one badge: a runtime constant
(compiled in, immutable for that spec_version), a storage value (assigned, and
changeable), and a balance in block zero (history, and not a role — an account
can be endowed and have no job). Labels derive from the chain's own name, so a
pallet added next year is labelled without an edit. The chip is the claim; the
citation beneath it is the evidence.

Two rules hold it together, both learned the hard way and both now in CLAUDE.md.
An account is told from a hash by registry path, never by shape — after
`normalise` both are `0x` and sixty-four hex characters, so `decode_typed` now
returns the account set the decoder collected while it still knew. And a storage
entry names an account only if its value *is* one: `System::Events` is full of
accounts and names none, and the first cut labelled half the chain's active
addresses `Events`.

Computing all of this walks every plain storage entry and enumerates block zero
— dozens of round trips, fine once and pathological on every account page view —
so it is cached for five minutes. Constants change with the runtime, state
assignments almost never, genesis never.

Block zero gets the endowments, because they have no extrinsic and no event and
are invisible to anyone who has not read the chainspec, and a Genesis link sits
in the nav to give somebody who would never think to look an unmissable way to.
Mainnet started with 5,670,000 QTC across 21 accounts — one holds 5,669,940 and
the other twenty got 3 each — shown beside what each holds today, so what a
founding account did with its stake is one row. When genesis state cannot be
read the page says so rather than showing an empty table: missing data and a
chain that endowed nobody are different claims.

Closes #2

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 1e8869e7a1 feat: index the whole event surface, and show what has never fired
deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m31s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 14s
The event interest list was an allowlist of two entries, which meant every
capability the chain grew was invisible until somebody remembered to add a line
— the exact failure the metadata-oracle approach exists to avoid. It is a
denylist now.

Nothing is excluded for being unused. Whether a capability is exercised is the
question an analyst is asking: a chain that ships vesting and governance nobody
touches is telling you something, and it can only tell you that if the silence
is recorded rather than filtered on the way in. The rule for exclusion is
narrower than volume and narrower than usefulness — an event carrying no account
can never answer "everything involving this account", which is what the index is
for. Three kinds both name no account and fire every block, so they are skipped:
ZkTree::LeafInserted, QPoW::DifficultyAdjusted, System::ExtrinsicSuccess. They
render as "not indexed" rather than as a zero, because a zero reads as disuse.

Balances::Minted looked like a fourth. It fired exactly as often as
MinerRewarded across a 120-block sample and for the same reason, but it names an
account, minting is not only for miners, and showing a reward twice on one page
is a presentation problem to solve on that page rather than a reason to lose the
record. Kept.

`/:chain/event` is the call index's other half — 19 of 107 kinds fired — and
`/:chain/event/:pallet/:variant` the feed behind a row. Measured on live
mainnet the widening took the index from ~1.2 to ~3.4 rows per block and bought
739 accounts' worth of wormhole transfers that were previously invisible.

Signatures also lose their associated-type ceremony: the runtime writes
`<<T as frame_system::Config>::Lookup as StaticLookup>::Source`, which is
correct and forty characters of scaffolding around one word, and three of those
in a row pushed the counts off the side of the table. Generics are untouched —
`BalanceOf<T>` is information.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 6b45004907 feat: the call index — declared surface against actual use
deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m46s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 15s
Every explorer shows what happened on a chain. None shows the difference
between what a chain can do and what it has done, because none holds the
runtime's declared surface next to the activity. We already hold both, so this
is a join rather than new indexing.

    quantus    v152   6 of 58 dispatchables used
    heisenberg v148   6 of 58 — and a different six

The gap is the interesting half. ReversibleTransfers, TechReferenda, Vesting
and Preimage are shipped, documented and untouched; "this chain has governance
nobody has used" is a different statement from "this chain has no governance",
and only one of them appears on a list of what happened. Unused calls keep their
signature and their docs, both read from the chain rather than a source tree,
and are dimmed rather than hidden.

Two chains on the same runtime family diverging is the other thing it surfaces:
mainnet has exercised the wormhole batch verifiers and nothing else, while
Heisenberg has a whole multisig lifecycle and no wormhole traffic.

`/:chain/call/:pallet/:call` is the feed behind a row — who dispatched it, with
what arguments, and whether it worked. Nothing is written per call type: the
arguments render through the same `Payload` as everything else, so a pallet
added next year gets a row on the index when the runtime declares it and a
working page the moment somebody uses it.

`BlockExtrinsic` gained `height` and `at`, which are redundant on a block's own
page and the entire point on a feed where every row is a different block.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 efbe901646 feat: section indexes, so the routes can be found
deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m33s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 15s
Every route added lately was reachable only by already knowing an address — a
block hash, a preimage, an SS58 string, a spec_version. Fine for a link somebody
sent you, useless for discovering the pages exist. A kind with nothing after it
is now the index of that kind, and a nav under the chain chips names them.

Not the same page three times. Blocks is the record behind the live ticker,
paged by height. Accounts ranks by tokens earned over the whole indexed record,
which is a different question from the standings' blocks-per-window and here a
different answer: difficulty rose 346-fold inside mainnet's first day, so an
early block cost a three-hundredth of a current one. Runtimes is the only list
with no other home — a block does not name its runtime and neither do the
standings.

No `/:chain/miner`: the standings already are the index of miners, and a second
page of the same rows under another address would be two answers to one
question. That path redirects there, along with anything else that resolves to
the front page without being spelled like it, so the address bar and the section
nav agree about where the reader is.

Two things caught by looking at the rendered pages:

The block index's gaps came from `observed_at` and read *three milliseconds*
between blocks on a chain targeting twelve seconds — exactly the trap CLAUDE.md
records, since a gap fill writes a whole batch within one second. They come from
`authored_at` now, the chain's own clock.

The first page of that index came from the live ticker, which is ordered
oldest-first because that is the order it is pushed in, so page one climbed and
every page after it descended. The index sends a cursor for its first page too.

Accounts shows the address beside any node name: one node legitimately reports
for several payout addresses, and the first cut had two rows reading
`pearl-prover` with nothing to tell them apart.
