grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 ef2afa8e4e fix(data): a skipped NEAR height no longer stalls the intents scan
ci / gate (push) Successful in 4m14s

NEAR does not produce a block at every height, and 218,363,444 was one it
skipped. The backfill asked for its shard layout at the batch's first height,
got UNKNOWN_BLOCK from every endpoint, and asked the same question every
15 s from then on: production's indexed_from stopped at 218,363,445. The tip
side runs the same code and would have frozen the first time a batch began on
a skip. The layout now comes from the first height in the batch that exists.

The second half of it: neard sends JSON-RPC errors with HTTP 422 where
FastNEAR's proxy sent them with 200, and call_one checked the status before
reading the body, so the node's own "no such block" arrived as a transport
failure. chunk() could not see a skip as a skip, deep() never asked the
archive, and on a chain with several endpoints a node's valid answer would
have been failed over. parse_response reads the body whatever the status: a
JSON-RPC error is the node answering; a non-success status without one is the
host not answering, as before.

Checked against near.internal with the scan seeded to begin a backfill batch
on the skipped height: it walked past it with no warnings.

Closes #31

grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 40bc2f67d1 fix(core): one swap per taker leg, and solver hops are never trades
ci / gate (push) Successful in 4m36s
deploy / validate (push) Skipped
deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m11s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 18s
A 3,000-block survey of intents.near from our own node (350 outcomes, 1,026
legs) showed the referral leg is the user — per-quote implicit accounts, none
on a solver — and that its own diff mirrors the rest of the outcome to within
the protocol fee in all 576 amounts checked. So each taker leg is now its own
trade, priced from what that user gave and got.

It also showed the pooling rule counted solver routing as trading: in 45% of
outcomes with a taker the solvers traded through a pair no taker touched,
usually USDT on Ethereum, and each such leg on the tracked asset became a
phantom trade against a token the user never saw. Two takers on one pair —
an account round-tripping wNEAR, in the case captured — were merged into one
trade with a nonsense price. Now an outcome with any taker yields only the
takers' trades; only an outcome with no referral at all (solvers trading with
each other) is pooled, as `kind: unattributed`, with no side.

`kind` is stored (migration 0010, no re-scan: production held no QTC rows) and
on the wire, and the panel says how many of a figure's trades were users'.
Tests run on the three captured outcomes. Checked live against near.internal
with wNEAR: 18 trades from 18 outcomes, every taker an implicit account, and
no counter that was only a hop.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 ec615cac52 ci: gate every branch, and make a "validate" dispatch ship nothing
ci / gate (push) Successful in 4m24s
deploy / validate (push) Skipped
deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m27s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 7s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 17s
deploy.yaml was the only workflow and ran only on main, so a pushed branch
started no run at all: the first time CI saw a change was the push that
deployed it. And its `mode: validate` input, offered as "check only", was read
by no job — a validate dispatch built and deployed whatever ref it ran on.

ci.yaml now runs on every branch but main, on the `rust` runner, with no deploy
job, no secrets and no artifact. The gate itself moves into a local composite
action, .gitea/actions/gate, which both ci.yaml and deploy.yaml's `build` job
use, so the gate a branch passes is the gate main runs rather than a copy that
can drift. Its commands are CLAUDE.md's "Run the gate CI runs" verbatim. One
deliberate change on the way: the drift check is `git status --porcelain`, as
CLAUDE.md and #28 state it, not `git diff --quiet`, which cannot see the new
untracked file a new DTO generates.

Both deploy jobs now require `github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'` and
`inputs.mode != 'validate'` (empty on a push, so the push path and its
"what changed" gating are unchanged). A validate dispatch on main runs the
build and gate plus a new `validate` job: the read-only checks from the end of
deploy-api and deploy-web — API health from bob, reachability from the edge,
the chain list through the vhost — against what is already deployed. Those
checks are copied rather than shared, because the deploy jobs run from the
build artifact without a checkout and restructuring them is a change only a
production deploy would test; the comment says they must change together.

Closes #28

deploy / build (push) Successful in 9m35s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 22s
Enables [chains.intents] for quantus: asset nep141:qtc.omft.near, read from
https://near.internal (neard on frankie, tracking intents.near's shard), with
view calls left on FastNEAR. start_height is the oldest block our node holds,
218,346,736 — a sound floor because qtc.omft.near held no supply at
218,369,028, so nothing can have traded before it, and it keeps the whole
backfill on our node rather than on a throttled archive.

The gate test that kept this off becomes a parse test that expects it on.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 cf227bf421 fix(data): read tx outcomes at INCLUDED_FINAL, not EXECUTED
Our NEAR node tracks only intents.near's shard. Against a swap that withdrew
through omni.bridge.near, EXECUTED and EXECUTED_OPTIMISTIC both waited for the
receipts on shards the node never sees and timed out with a 408 after ten
seconds — the scan would have retried that block forever, stalling on exactly
the trades it exists to read. INCLUDED_FINAL answered in 10 ms with all five
token_diff events and the intents_executed event, matching FastNEAR's full
view, because intents.near's first receipt executes in the inclusion block.

Verified end to end against https://near.internal with wNEAR configured: the
scan followed the tip with no errors, recorded trades and pushed one live.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 100d508588 feat(ws): push each swap as it settles on NEAR Intents
`ServerMessage::IntentsSwap` carries the trade exactly as /intents/swaps
returns it — one conversion, `intents::to_swap`, serves both, so the route
and the push cannot describe the same trade differently.

Only trades read within LIVE_WITHIN_BLOCKS (~a minute) of NEAR's final tip
are pushed. The backfill never broadcasts, and the threshold is what keeps an
upward catch-up after a restart from announcing an hour of history as news —
the confusion the wormhole pulse shipped once already.

The market panel re-reads its figures on each push rather than adjusting a
copy: a VWAP over the latest N trades drops its oldest as it gains one.

Verified by replaying the trade at NEAR 218,261,895 with the threshold opened
locally and catching the frame on /v1/ws.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 0d5ebd19ee feat(ui): a market panel on the network page, from settled swaps only
Shows the token's price on NEAR Intents per counter token, volume-weighted
over its latest trades with the trade count beside every figure, and in that
token rather than in dollars. Before anything has settled it shows the
evidence instead: supply bridged to NEAR, what intents.near holds, whether
1Click lists it, and zero swaps over the NEAR blocks read — so a rate quoted
elsewhere has something true to stand against.

Renders nothing when the chain answers `no_intents`, which it does while the
integration is off. The asset is labelled by its own ft_metadata symbol,
returned as `asset_symbol`, rather than assumed to be the chain's token:
checked by rendering it with ZEC configured, where the first cut called
143,730 ZEC "QTC".

grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 d2567e5584 fix(data): send NEAR view calls to their own endpoints
The node the scan will follow tracks only intents.near's shard, and the token
contracts it asks about — qtc.omft.near for supply, every counter token for
ft_metadata — live on other shards, which such a node cannot answer for.
Views are a few an hour, so they go to `view_urls`, FastNEAR by default, and
the per-block reads stay on `rpc_urls`.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 8128201ad9 feat(api): index swaps settled by NEAR Intents, off by default
The price of a token on NEAR Intents is the ratio inside a trade that
`intents.near` actually executed; there is no pool, oracle or stored price,
and a 1Click quote is an offer. This reads `execute_intents` transactions on
the contract's shard, keeps the `token_diff` legs whose receipt succeeded and
whose intent is in `intents_executed`, and records one trade per asset/counter
pair per outcome, counting each unit once whichever side the taker was on.

- core: event parsing, trade building, shard lookup, price and VWAP, tested
  against the logs of mainnet tx 85uy9uCF (USDT on Tron for ZEC).
- data: a NEAR client over the existing RpcClient, live then archival;
  migration 0009 (intents_trade, intents_scan, near_token).
- api: a contiguous-cursor scan and a supply/listing poll per chain, and
  GET /v1/chains/{chain}/intents/{swaps,price}. Prices are in counter-token
  units; no USD until a stablecoin is named by contract.

Gated on `[chains.intents]`, which the config template leaves commented out:
FastNEAR's free RPC sustains about two requests a second against ~1.7 needed
to follow the tip, and neardata allows 30 blocks a minute. It waits for our
own node. A test renders the template and fails if the block is enabled.

Verified end to end against mainnet with ZEC configured: the trade at NEAR
218,261,895 was recorded and served by both routes.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5.5 dc68fe3be3 infra: publish the NEAR node as near.blackbeard.observer
Through the existing nodes role: a Cloudflare CNAME to the site indirection,
a Let's Encrypt cert by DNS-01 on oolon, and a vhost beside the Quantus and
Planck endpoints. The upstream is https://near.internal rather than frankie,
so next week's move to new hardware changes one internal vhost and nothing
here, and frankie's firewall still admits only the hanzalova proxy and bob.

Throttled harder than the Quantus endpoint, because the node is a four-core
stopgap and the swap indexer reads it too (via near.internal, outside these
limits): 5 r/s per client with a burst of 20, 8 connections per client, and a
30 r/s ceiling across all clients so many addresses together cannot starve
it. Only POST / and GET /status, /health pass; bodies over 64 KiB are refused.
Hetzner and OVH hosting networks get the site's 403, and the name has its own
JSON log.

Checked from outside after install: 405 for other methods and paths, 413 for
a 100 KB body, 32 of 40 parallel requests answered 429, and the log carries
the real client address. /health answers 503 because the node is not synced;
that is neard's own answer, passed through.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m30s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 7s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 18s
The proxy's shared access.log mixes every site on oolon and records neither
Host nor Origin. Origin is the only field that separates our UI's WebSocket
from another site's, because browsers send no Referer on the upgrade. The
public vhost now writes its own JSON-lines log carrying both.

Ten days of the shared log showed no third-party site using the API, and two
headless pollers: an OVH host polling summary once a minute (88% of all
no-referer REST) and a Hetzner host identifying as `stardust-devops`. The
public vhost now refuses the hosting networks of both providers, from the
prefixes RIPEstat reports as announced by AS24940, AS213230, AS212317 and
AS16276, generated by script/deny-networks.py and committed so the list is
reviewed. AS35540 is OVH's residential broadband and is left out. Against the
same ten days, the list matches the two pollers and no visitor.

Refusals are a plain-text 403 and are still logged with "denied":1, so a VPN
user caught by it shows up rather than disappearing.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m35s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 7s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
Until 1e8869e the backfill kept only MiningRewards::* and Balances::Transfer.
The skip-list that replaced that allowlist only applied to blocks read after
the deploy, and event_scan never revisits a range it has claimed. So on
mainnet every block below 18510 has no Wormhole::* (or any other newly kept
kind) while indexed_from says 1. Planck and Heisenberg have the same hole over
whatever they had read by then.

This was found checking #22's endpoint against a mining address whose
deposits began at transfer_count 17,142. A mainnet node decodes
Wormhole::NativeTransferred in blocks 18400 and 18509, under the same spec 152
as the indexed blocks.

Migration 0008 collapses each chain's cursor to its top (low = high), so the
backfill walks back to genesis again. record_events and record_extrinsics
upsert on their primary keys, so re-reading is safe. Until the walk finishes,
indexed_from reports the real, shrinking gap. CLAUDE.md now says that keeping
more events needs a migration like this one.

deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 18s
GET /v1/chains/{chain}/wormhole/deposits?to=<addr>,…&after=<h>:<i>&limit=<n>

Every Wormhole::NativeTransferred to up to 100 addresses (SS58 or 0x hex),
oldest first, with a height:event_index cursor. A deposit carries its
recipient, its amount as a decimal string, its transfer_count and its
leaf_index: what a wallet needs to work out what it can still spend.

A wormhole address's System::Account balance is a receipt total. An exit
credits the exit account and records a nullifier, and never debits the
wormhole address. A deposit is spent when the nullifier its secret and
transfer_count derive is used. The wallet computes and checks that itself;
nothing here asks for nullifiers, because naming one pairs a deposit with its
exit.

This is for the Quantus extension's wormhole balance (quantus/extension#14),
which would otherwise ask Quantus's Subsquid and tell Quantus which addresses
are one person's.

- The query reads chain_event through the accounts GIN index, then keeps only
  rows whose `to` is one of the addresses: accounts holds the sender too, and
  a transfer from a wormhole address is not a deposit to it.
- The response carries indexed_from/indexed_to. On a chain still backfilling,
  a client can't take the sum as a balance without checking it against
  Wormhole::TransferCount.
- CORS on this route alone allows any origin, GET only, merged outside the
  site's allowlist so that allowlist can never answer a preflight for it.
  Extension origins can't be listed (Chrome ids vary by install, Firefox's are
  random per install), and the data is public.

The integration test covers the ways this is silently wrong: a deposit from an
address counted as one to it, another event kind leaking in, a cursor that
skips a same-block sibling, and another chain's rows. Unit tests cover both
address spellings, the cursor, and u128 amounts written as strings.

Closes #22

planck_node is Quantus's two official testnet hosts over TLS with SNI and

throttle zones (20 requests a second with a burst of 40, 16 concurrent

deploy / build (push) Successful in 45s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
The masthead's separator between "quantus mining" and "this is sparta" is now
the caution mark rather than a middle dot, scaled to the line it sits on.

`.mark-tagline` gains an explicit `line-height` for that reason: the image is
sized from it, and a line height inherited from `body` would quietly resize the
mark the day the body's changed. The height is declared twice — `1.4em` then
`1lh` — which is the same number here precisely because the line height above
is stated, so a browser that does not know the unit lands in the same place
rather than near it.

`alt` is empty and `aria-hidden` is set, on purpose. The mark stands in for
punctuation and the words either side already say what it says; announcing it
would be reading the separator aloud.

Imported as a hashed asset like the portrait, and it keeps its own transparency
rather than being given a ground — the masthead sits on a radial glow, not a
flat surface, so a background would show as a rectangle.

The about panel's prose is capped at 68 characters a line, which is a measure
worth keeping whatever width the panel happens to be — and left the right-hand
half of it empty. A portrait of the author now sits there, linked to rob.tn,
taking the space the measure was already leaving rather than any of it.

Imported as a module asset rather than dropped in `public/`. Vite hashes it by
content, so a replaced photograph invalidates its own cache instead of being
served stale from behind a long max-age; `public/` is for the favicon, which
needs a fixed path, and for nothing else here.

The name is in both `alt` and the link's `title`. The image is the only content
of that link, so its `alt` is the link's accessible name — an empty one would
leave a screen reader announcing an unlabelled link to an unexplained
destination.

It stacks under the prose below the breakpoint, and the photograph carries an
alpha channel so it gets a ground of its own rather than sitting on whichever
surface the theme supplies.

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.

deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 7s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
The network page said 5,669,940 QTC sits in the vesting pot and stopped there,
which is the largest economic fact about this chain rendered as a single
number. `/:chain/vesting` now carries the schedules, the release curve and the
evidence.

It is the only forward-looking page on the site and it is exact rather than
projected: the runtime vests nothing before a grant's cliff, the whole grant
from its end, and linearly between, so summing that across the schedules is
arithmetic on chain state. `blackbeard-core::vesting` restates those three
branches with tests, because until 2027 nothing on chain will contradict them —
covering the cliff, the mid-window, the `end` branch that makes the final
figure exactly `total` rather than `total` less a rounding crumb, the
`start < cliff` case that unlocks a chunk at once, and a grant large enough
that `total × elapsed` would wrap a `u128` if the product were not split.

Decoded by field name against the metadata, never by offset. The figures that
justified building this were read positionally out of 89 bytes and summed to
the pot exactly — good evidence the layout was guessed right, and exactly the
shortcut this repository forbids elsewhere. A captured mainnet entry now pins
the names, so a reordered struct fails the build rather than quietly paying the
wrong address.

It also retires a weak claim. "Held in the vesting pot" rested on an eight-byte
`PalletId` spelling `qvesting` and a `type PalletId` line read from a source
tree that may not be the deployed commit. `matches_pot` replaces that with
arithmetic: the grants sum to the pot's balance to within the existential
deposit, and if a grant is ended or the pot topped up the page says the two
have parted company rather than going on describing one as the other.

Measured: 48 grants, 5,669,940.000 QTC scheduled against 5,669,940.001 held,
nothing claimed, first unlock 2027-09-09, fully vested 2030-09-08.

`Field` becomes one component instead of four. Going to add a fourth copy found
that the three had already parted company — two rendered `note` as a visible
caption, the third passed it to `title` as a hover — so the shared one takes
both as separate props rather than silently changing a page. The same lesson
`isStandings` records, found the same way.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m40s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 6s
The last piece of #17. It was specified as "the share of issuance held by the
top 1, 10 and 100" plus a Gini, and done literally that produces a number that
is true and says nothing — because the top account is the vesting pot holding
99.5% of the chain. The figure would sit near 1.000 and move only when the pot
paid out, describing an undistributed reserve rather than an economy.

So the pot is reported first and then excluded, by its own storage key rather
than by being the largest: "the biggest account" is a description that would
silently start meaning something else the day the pot drains. Everything else
is computed over what is left and labelled as being outside it.

The denominator is the counted balance, not issuance. The two differ, and in
the direction that matters: a wormhole exit credits its destination without
debiting the note's source, so balances summed across the chain exceed
issuance, and shares of issuance would add up to more than everything.

Measured on mainnet: 1,949 accounts, 27,245 QTC outside the pot, top 1 at
39.6%, top 10 at 72.2%, top 100 at 92.2%, Gini 0.965. That top holder is a
mining address — keyless, its balance a cumulative receipt that cannot fall
however much its operator pays out — so the panel says in its own words that
this is partly a statement about who mined most rather than who holds most.

The Gini lives in `blackbeard-core` with its own tests, per the rule about
statistics being easy to overstate and hard to notice: pinned against the
published coefficient for 1,2,3,4, and against a dust holder beside two whales,
which is the case an `f64` accumulator would round away and report as perfect
equality between the whales.

`RpcClient::storage_values` is new — `state_queryStorageAt`, which turns two
thousand round trips into four. Chunked at 500 rather than sent whole because
nothing documents a ceiling here, and an undocumented ceiling is one that gets
discovered in production.

Nothing renders unless the account walk reached the end of the map. Every share
divides by a total, and a partial sum makes all of them wrong while looking
entirely reasonable.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 67e7b2ec24 fix: the waiting counter was never once visible
deploy / build (push) Successful in 44s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
It refused to count until a block arrived while the page was open, on the
grounds that the block the snapshot hands over on load may be a minute old and
starting it at zero would lie. That was honest and completely useless: on
mainnet the block that triggers the counter is the same block that puts the
first row in the console, so it became visible and unnecessary in the same
tick. Reported from the live site after a refresh — the placeholder was still
there, because the counter had no window in which to exist.

It now seeds from the snapshot's block. The ticking is still
`performance.now()`, which cannot be skewed or stepped; only the seed can be
inexact, and only for that first block, whose age nothing but the server's
`observed_at` can attest. A seed outside a plausible range is refused outright
and the plain text stands — no counter beats a wrong one.

Measured against the live API: the counter appears within 800ms of load
reading "26,378 ms since #43,588", climbs, and gives way to rows about two
seconds later, which is how long the console is honestly empty.

Also recorded, because it wasted a verification: `/v1/healthz`'s `commit` is
stamped into the API binary, so a frontend-only push leaves it on the previous
sha *forever*. A watcher polling it for the sha just pushed waits for something
that will never arrive and reports "still deploying" over a site that finished
minutes ago. Compare the served bundle name to the local build instead — Vite
hashes it by content, so equal names mean byte-identical.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 43s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
The empty console explained what would eventually appear there, which is the
least interesting thing it could say while the chain is visibly producing
blocks a few feet away. It now counts milliseconds since the last block, with
the height linked, and resets each time one lands.

The clock is `performance.now()`, not `observed_at`. That field is the
server's wall clock, and subtracting it from the browser's would fold in
whatever the two disagree by — a viewer whose machine runs fast would watch the
counter go backwards. "Since this page saw it" is both unfakeable and the
honest claim.

Counting starts at the first block that arrives while the page is open, not at
the first the ticker hands over: that one came from the snapshot and may be a
minute old, so starting from when it was rendered would begin at zero and lie
about it.

The number is written straight to the DOM. Sixty React renders a second would
redraw the mouth, the population and the whole console for one span of text —
the same reason the flight marks are not React state. Under reduced motion it
updates four times a second instead of sixty.

The caption's idle line changes with it: "watching for the next block" beside a
counter timing a block the page has plainly seen was a contradiction, so it now
says which of the two is actually missing.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 1m24s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 4s
Stacked, the mouth and the lines describing it could not be read at the same
time, which is the whole point of having both. They sit side by side once
there is room: the figure takes the space left over and the console takes a
fixed column.

The breakpoint is measured rather than chosen. At 1000px the console came out
360px wide and *every* line wrapped to two — worse than stacking — because one
line needs about 354px for its height, kind and amount columns plus a
shortened address and three gaps. The column's minimum is 400px and the
breakpoint is where that can exist without starving the figure.

The console now links out. A block height goes to the block, an address to the
account, and the count of what is not shown names its block instead of saying
"this block" — so the line that tells you 897 notes went unlisted is also the
way to go and read them. Links fall back to plain text before the chain is
known, because `href` would otherwise render `//block/43466`, which looks
clickable and goes nowhere.

They are marked with a dotted underline rather than a colour, following
`a.ticker-height`: the console's columns already carry meaning through colour —
muted for the height and address, bright for the kind — and tinting a link
would make it momentarily read as a different column.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m18s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 6s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
The wormhole pulse was broadcast from inside `index_events`, which has two
callers: `record`, for a block that just arrived, and `backfill`, walking
history. So the backfill re-announced every block it re-read — and because it
walks towards the tip, the blocks it re-announced were exactly the ones a
viewer had just watched. The live console listed #43,446 three times.

This is the live/backfill confusion this repository has already been bitten by
twice, arriving by a third road, so the guard is a type rather than a comment:
`Pass::Live` or `Pass::Backfill`, and a caller cannot forget to say which.

The duplicates did more damage than repeating themselves. Console lines were
keyed `height-index`, which looked unique and was not, and React given
duplicate keys renders duplicates *and* stops honouring the list's own length
cap — twelve lines had become eighteen on screen. Lines are keyed on a
monotonic counter now, so a reorg re-recording a height cannot reproduce it.

Neither half was caught by the build, the lint, or the tests. Both were
obvious within a minute of watching the live page.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m36s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
The stage drew a dot per note and left the reader to guess. A dot travelling
inward could be anybody paying anybody, and without text beside it the
animation is an ornament rather than a reading of the chain.

Each pulse now carries a sample of the individual notes — kind, recipient,
amount — and a console below the stage lists them newest-first, the way the
block ticker reads, which also means no auto-scroll to fight with and the line
a reader is looking for never moves.

`kind` is the third split this codebase makes on the producing extrinsic and
the first that separates all three cases: a reward has no extrinsic at all
because it is paid in block initialisation, a transfer has an ordinary one, and
an exit has a `verify_*_batch`. The recorded sender distinguishes none of them.

Two caps, and they turned out to interact. `MAX_PULSE_NOTES` bounds the wire —
a block has carried hundreds of notes and sending every one for a handful of
lines is kilobytes a block of text nobody reads. `CONSOLE_LINES_PER_BLOCK`
bounds one block's share of the console, because without it a single busy block
fills every line and twelve lines from one block look exactly like twelve
blocks of one, which loses the reader all sense of rate.

The count of what is not shown hangs on the block's first line rather than its
last: the list is newest-first, so a count on the last line is the first thing
trimmed, and a block of 260 showed four notes while saying nothing about it.
That one reached a screenshot before it was caught.

The console fills before the reduced-motion guard, so a viewer who asked for
less motion still gets the whole reading — twelve lines, no moving marks,
population still drawn, caption still live.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 39s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 4s
The stage drew the flow and nothing else, which on a chain committing about
1.9 notes a block and settling an exit every fifth one meant it was nearly
always still. That was honest and it was also nearly empty, while the page's
headline figure — tens of thousands of notes committed and not yet spent — sat
in a box beside it. The mouth now holds a sample of that population, turning
slowly, with arriving notes passing in front of it on their way in.

The stock is read, never inferred. A pulse's `notes_out` is an exit crediting
an account, and `credit_and_record` inserts a fresh leaf for that credit, so an
exit adds a note rather than retiring one; what retires a note is a nullifier,
and those are not counted per block. Accumulating pulses into the figure would
drift from the truth while looking authoritative, so it is re-read from the
chain every two minutes instead.

It turns in CSS rather than in the animation loop. The flight marks stop when
the chain is quiet, but the population is always there, and a JS loop running
forever on a page left open all day is a cost this does not need to pay. Each
shell is a ring of marks on a circle inside a vertically squashed group, so one
composited rotation traces an ellipse in the mouth's own plane. Reduced motion
stops the turning and keeps the marks: how much is inside is the information.

One mark stands for many and the caption says how many, whether or not a block
has arrived yet — forty-five turning marks with nothing explaining them would
be worse than none.

Flight time goes from 1.5s to 5s, measured against the real rate rather than
the mock that made the first version look busy: at twelve-second blocks the few
notes there are now overlap instead of appearing alone.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m19s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 6s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
The wormhole page described a pool that was never shown doing anything. It now
opens with a stage where a note arriving falls inward and is swallowed, and a
note leaving climbs out and escapes — driven entirely by blocks this observer
has actually decoded. Nothing is on a loop: a still stage means a still chain.

`index_events` now reports what each block did to the pool, split by the
producing extrinsic exactly as the daily flow query and `exit_cohorts` are —
a settled batch releases value, anything else commits it, and the recorded
sender cannot say because it is the same sentinel either way. The exit
extrinsics are collected inside `index_extrinsics`, the one place the body is
already decoded; finding them in a second pass would re-run `decode_extrinsic`
over Dilithium signatures at 5.3 KiB apiece.

It is broadcast after the block rather than inside it, because the counts cost
two more round trips and the site's ticker must not wait for one panel. A block
that touched no notes broadcasts nothing.

On the front end the pulse takes a side channel — `Observer.onWormhole`, apart
from the state listeners — because a pulse is an event, not a fact about the
page, and routing it through `ObserverState` would re-render the leaderboard,
the ticker and the whole tree once per block for one animation. Marks are
pooled SVG nodes mutated from a loop that starts on a pulse and ends itself.

Honest by construction: marks are capped and the caption is not, so a block
committing 900 notes draws 28 and says nine hundred. `prefers-reduced-motion`
stops the motion and keeps the information — no marks, caption still live,
aria-label still describing the last block.

The stage takes the headline stat row's place on this page. Hashrate,
difficulty, block time, miners and height are on every other page and say
nothing about the pool.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m33s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 6s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 15s
The wormhole page counted the pool but never drew the flow through it. It now
leads with a meter — 42% of every note ever created is still unspent — and a
per-day chart of value arriving against value leaving.

Direction is read from the producing extrinsic, never from the sender, which
is the same sentinel whichever way the value is going: anything settled by
`verify_public_batch` or `verify_private_batch` is leaving, everything else is
arriving. `entered + left` reconciles to the day's total exactly.

**The chart is diverging with a single hue.** In and out want two hues either
side of a neutral midpoint, and this site has one data colour. The two-shade
alternative was measured rather than assumed and fails outright — `#bd8829`
against `#e0a63a` scores a normal-vision ΔE of 9.9, under the 15 floor. So
direction is carried by which side of the zero rule a bar sits on, which
survives greyscale, print, forced-colors and every form of colour vision, and
leaves no categorical pair to validate.

Rendering it is what found the rest. Same hue plus touching bars drew one
continuous mark through the rule and the encoding disappeared, so a surface gap
is held open at zero. Five days across a full-width panel drew 170px slabs, so
bar width is capped and the columns space out instead. And `rx` rounds all four
corners of a rect, so bars read as detached lozenges until they became paths
with rounded data-ends only.

Ships with the hover layer, direct labels on the busiest day each way, and a
visually-hidden table so the series exists outside the picture.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m37s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
The premise was that pools are the best surface for observing wormhole
transfers, because payouts must leave a pattern in the batches. The pattern
is there. Most of it is not payouts.

Two things break the obvious reading. Batch *size* is aggregation: the pallet
documents a public batch as one segment per inner private batch and a segment
as one client, so a 120-output batch is an aggregator bundling unrelated
people. And the most recurrent recipient is the aggregator itself — one
address is credited in 91.5% of every public batch anyone submitted and in
none of the private ones, which is the rebate minted to the proof's
`aggregator_address`. QUANPOOL's mining address appears in 501 batches for
7.54 QTC total, 0.015 each: the fee share paid to whoever included the batch.

Classified, three addresses take 76% of everything the exits pay. A cohort
table that did not say so would be describing aggregator plumbing and calling
it an economy, so the share is the section's eyebrow and its first sentence.

What survives the subtraction is the finding worth shipping: among genuine
recipients, 35 addresses paid twenty or more times take two thirds of the
remaining value at twice everyone else's average credit. That is a
recurring-payment shape and the page says it is no more than that — the chain
records no sender, so a regular payee is as plausibly an exchange deposit or
one person on a schedule as a pool meeting its obligations.

Batch size is not rendered anywhere, on purpose.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 4d9d41888a fix: a miner's balance is a receipt total, and the supply figures were wrong
Two claims this repository shipped, both disproved by measuring mainnet.

**A mining address is keyless, so its balance can only rise.** `retained`
was documented here as "the one measure privacy cannot hide", reasoning that
a payment debits the account whichever route it takes. It does not.
`mining-rewards` pays `derive_wormhole_address(preimage)`, which no Dilithium
keypair signs for, and `Wormhole::credit_and_record` credits an exit's
destination with `Unbalanced::increase_balance` while never debiting the
note's source. QUANPOOL's balance rose at all twelve samples between blocks
1,000 and 42,400 and fell at none, nonce 0 throughout — as every miner's must.

So `retained` read ~100% for everyone because it had to, and a number
identical for all reads as an accusation aimed at whoever mined most. The
column is gone, `balance` is `received`, and the table says plainly that a
pool paying out in full and one paying nothing produce the same row.

**Four empty lock maps are not "nothing is withheld".** Locks, Holds,
Freezes and Reserves are all empty — counted, not assumed — and the network
page concluded circulating equals total issuance. Wrong by a factor of 436:
this runtime vests from a *pot*, not with locks, and `modlqvesting` holds
5,669,940 QTC, 99.54% of every unit of balance on the chain. The page now
reports the pot and issuance-minus-pot, and still declines the word
"circulating" because the release schedule is not read here.

The pot address is derived from `Vesting::PalletId` in metadata rather than
a hard-coded `qvesting`: it is a consequence of a runtime constant, and a
runtime that changed it would leave the site reporting an empty pot while
looking perfectly healthy. Both steps are pinned against the real mainnet
metadata fixture.

Also recorded: never sum account balances and call it supply. They exceed
`TotalIssuance` by 13,427 QTC at block 42,400 and by exactly zero at genesis,
bisecting to block 4,800 and a `verify_public_batch` — private value is
counted twice by any such total. Single blocks reconcile exactly, so a spot
check says everything is fine.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m33s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 17s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
The observer had nothing to say about this chain's central feature, which is
why the distribution table's outflow column could ship reading zero for every
miner and look like evidence.

A transfer inserts a commitment as a note; spending one proves a nullifier,
which the runtime records so it cannot be spent twice. That makes the pool
countable even though its movements are not:

    ZkTree::LeafCount           82,691   notes created
    Wormhole::UsedNullifiers    47,796   notes spent
    outstanding                 34,895   unspent — still inside

Outstanding is the headline. It is the part of the chain's activity that has not
moved, and every one of those notes will name a recipient and an amount and not
a sender when it does.

The routes table separates transfers by the extrinsic that produced them,
because a hidden sender means two different things. In block initialisation it
is the chain paying a miner and the "sender" is the runtime; inside
`verify_public_batch` or `verify_private_batch` it is somebody spending a note
and the origin genuinely is not recorded. Collapsing those would make mining
rewards look like anonymous payments — 23,876 of them.

Notes per day come from the `leaf_index` each transfer carries rather than from
`ZkTree::LeafInserted`, which is in `SKIPPED_EVENTS` because it fires every block
and names no account. Same fact, cheaper road.

`SegmentsDenied` and `ExitMintFailed` have never fired. Shown anyway, because a
proof rejection nobody has ever seen is a finding rather than a gap — though it
is a weaker statement than it looks, and the note says so: never refused is not
the same as never attempted.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 44s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
The distribution table shipped with a `sent on` column reading zero for every
miner, which implies nothing left those addresses. On this chain that is not
what a zero means, and the correction came from the observation that payouts are
themselves wormhole transactions.

`Wormhole::NativeTransferred` records `to` and `amount` and does not record who
sent it. Splitting the events by the extrinsic that produced them shows what
that costs:

    (no extrinsic — initialisation)  hidden   23,876 events    72 recipients
    Utility::batch_all               visible  15,303        2,145
    Wormhole::verify_public_batch    hidden    8,136          538
    Balances::transfer_allow_death   visible   6,941          651
    Wormhole::verify_private_batch   hidden    1,758          116

Hidden-sender transfers in block initialisation are mining rewards. The 9,894
produced by `verify_public_batch` and `verify_private_batch`, reaching 654
recipients, are real payments with no origin recorded — the chain's privacy
working as designed. So the column was blind to exactly the mechanism a
wormhole-held balance would use to pay out, while reading as proof it had not.

It is `sent visibly` now, the note leads with the limit rather than burying it,
and a `retained` column carries the one measure privacy cannot hide: balance
over what the chain paid in. A payment debits the account whichever route it
takes, so a balance that has never fallen is a balance nothing has left.

A second correction, from running the table over the full index rather than a
dev slice: *every* one of the top 25 miners shows zero visible outflow and holds
almost exactly what it mined, including another address calling itself
`quantus-mainnet-pool`. Zero outflow is universal among mining addresses and
distinguishes nobody. The accounts distributing to hundreds of recipients have
never mined a block — they are funded from the genesis endowment — so setting a
miner beside them is a category error, and one this repository made before the
numbers came in.

it. What earns it its place is comparison — one miner's recipient count says
almost nothing, and beside its neighbours' it says a great deal — so the reader
draws the conclusion and the site lays out the evidence and names its limits.

Three limits are on the page, not in a footnote:

- an operator may hold several addresses, settle off-chain, or be a solo miner
  keeping what it earned, which is the ordinary case and unremarkable
- `sent on` counts only transfers out of the address the chain pays, so an
  operator distributing from a different wallet shows nothing
- the name column is the weakest and comes from telemetry rather than the chain.
  There is no such thing as a "pool" here: the word appears only inside a name
  an operator chose for its own node

`holds` is chain state and `mined`/`sent on`/`recipients` are over the indexed
range, which the note spells out — on a partially indexed chain a miner appears
to hold far more than it ever mined, and that discrepancy looks exactly like the
thing the table is for.

The window is fixed at 100,800 blocks rather than carried from the route: the
window selector is hidden on this page, so the route's value would mean the
shares silently reflect whatever span the reader last chose on the standings,
invisibly and differently for two people reading the same page. The longest
window is also the right one for the question — what a miner did with its
rewards is about the chain's history, not its last hour.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 06f3ece228 feat: account flows, and a distribution table for mining rewards
Reported concern: one pool's balance is disproportionately large, and it is not
clear whether rewards are reaching miners. This makes the question answerable
from the chain rather than from impressions.

Measured on mainnet while building it, blocks 1–42,274:

    account            mined   received     sent  recipients
    QUANPOOL          10,171      5,207        0           0
    qzomrwjT…              0     11,382    4,071          90
    qzo1Pr3X…              0      3,875    7,528         986
    qzo4QjZz…              0      1,257    2,448         742
    qznbesUc…              0      1,600        0           0

Direction comes from each transfer event's own `from` and `to` — `Wormhole::
NativeTransferred` and `Balances::Transfer` both carry them — so every figure is
something the chain recorded.

**A nonce cannot answer this, and reaching for one is the obvious mistake.**
Wormhole transfers dispatch unsigned: `verify_private_batch` and
`verify_public_batch` have no signer at all. An address here can move a fortune
with a nonce of zero, and I nearly reported one as proof that nothing had ever
been sent.

The presentation reports flows and does not judge them, because the data cannot
settle what they mean. Two facts in the table above are why: several large
accounts send nothing — ordinary for a solo miner keeping what it earned — and
the accounts distributing to hundreds of recipients have never mined a block, so
payout wallets here are funded from somewhere other than mining addresses. There
is also no such thing as a "pool" on this chain: the word appears only in a name
its operator reports over telemetry, which `MinerFlow::attribution` carries so a
reader can weigh it.

What earns the feature its place is comparison. One miner's recipient count says
little; beside its neighbours' it says a great deal, and the reader draws the
conclusion rather than the site.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m27s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 17s
The site answered "who is mining" thoroughly and "what is this economy doing"
not at all. Everything needed was already reachable and none of it was
assembled anywhere.

Measured against mainnet rather than assumed:

    total issuance      5,682,913.17 QTC
    endowed at genesis  5,670,000.00 QTC
    mined since          12,913.17 QTC   <- emission to date, printed nowhere else
    accounts                    1,925    counted, not inferred from indexed events
    locks/holds/freezes/reserves    0    all four, counted
    vesting schedules              48
    referenda                       0
    reversible transfers            0
    calls used                 7 of 58
    events fired              18 of 107

**No "circulating supply" field, deliberately.** With every immobilising map
empty it would equal total issuance exactly, and printing it as a separate
headline would assert a distinction this chain does not currently make. The page
states what was counted and lets that be read. Vesting is a count rather than a
sum for the same reason: this runtime's vesting does not touch the balances
locks, so what it holds and when it releases would be a guess.

**Signed extrinsics are separated from the total**, because three quarters of
this chain's extrinsics are inherents — 513 signed of 2,052 on the day measured
— and a single "transactions per day" line would be mostly clockwork, a number
that reads as adoption and is not.

Two kinds of certainty share the page and are kept apart. Supply and the map
sizes are chain state, read now. The daily activity is our index, and the
Activity panel prints the range it covered and says "the whole chain" or "a
partial index" — a chart whose axis claims a month over a week of data is the
failure this repository has already shipped twice.

One thing found while building it: a counter that has never moved is *absent*
from storage, not zero. `TechReferenda::ReferendumCount` and
`ReversibleTransfers::NextTransactionId` both read as nothing, and reporting
them unknown would have hidden the most interesting fact about them — that
governance and reversible transfers are shipped and have never been used.
`plain_value` falls back to the entry's declared default, which is only sound
because `StorageTarget` says whether it is `Default` or `Optional`.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 43s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped

Reported: the board was still rendering beneath the node route. It was a fourth
place spelling out "is this the standings?" by hand — the board's own render
condition, which I missed when extracting `isStandings` for the other three.

That predicate now has one definition and four callers: the section nav, the
window selector, the canonicalising redirect, and the board. Grepped for
survivors; there are none.

Worth recording how both node-route bugs were found, because it is the same
lesson twice in one feature: the route parsed, the page existed, every gate was
green, and only opening the page in a browser showed that the address bar threw
it away the first time and that thirty mining rows sat under it the second.

Checked: `/quantus/node/<peer>` renders one panel, no `.two-col`, no board rows.

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.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m28s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
Peer count, transactions in its pool, upload, download and state cache — the
volatile half of the feed, decoded from `NodeStatsUpdate`, `NodeHardware` and
`NodeIOUpdate`, plus the first values `AddedNode` itself carries so a freshly
announced node reads correctly rather than waiting for an update frame.

**Never persisted, and the shape says so.** These live in `NodeActivity`, held
in memory and attached to the miner route only when the feed is currently
reporting the node — a node answered from the cache gets its hardware and no
activity at all. A peer count from an hour ago is not a peer count, and storing
one would turn a live reading into a stale number that still looks live.

Only the newest sample of each series is kept. The feed sends rolling arrays and
already redraws them; this is a readout, not a chart. `NodeHardware` carries
three parallel series and the third is the feed's own x-axis, which is why the
test asserts the download figure is not the timestamps.

An update naming a node the feed has not introduced is dropped rather than
counted a decode error: a feed joined mid-stream sees these before the
`AddedNode` that explains them, and it will be re-sent.

Bandwidth renders in decimal units while memory and state cache render in
binary. That is not an inconsistency — a reader comparing bandwidth against a
NIC or a speed test is comparing against decimal, and one comparing memory
against what they bought is comparing against binary.

Verified against the live feed: 34 peers, 103 kB/s up, 20.5 kB/s down, 528 MiB
of state cache, read off mainnet and rendered.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m37s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 17s
Caches what the telemetry feed says each node *is*, and surfaces it on the miner
route: client version, target triple, CPU, cores, memory, kernel, distribution,
whether it is virtualised, country, and how long the node process has been up.

Kept in `node_telemetry`, keyed by peer id — never by the feed's `node_id`,
which is per-connection and would accumulate a row per reconnect for the same
machine. Written every five minutes rather than every thirty seconds like the
attributions beside it: a CPU does not change, and mainnet alone has nearly
three hundred nodes. The route reads the live feed first and the cache second,
so a node the feed has not re-announced since our last restart still answers.

Nulls never overwrite. The telemetry server geolocates asynchronously, so every
reconnect re-sends every node with a null location — a naive upsert would blank
the country of every node on the site for as long as the lookups took to catch
up. The guard is in the feed state and in the `on conflict` clause both, with a
test for each.

**Location is a country and no finer.** The feed sends coordinates and a city
from an IP geolocation database, and at city resolution those are wrong often
enough that showing one would assert something nobody knows.
`blackbeard_core::geo` derives the country offline from a 508 KiB boundary set —
no network call, and nothing told where these nodes are — and the coordinates
are then dropped. The schema has no city, latitude or longitude column: a column
that does not exist cannot be rendered by mistake. The lookup returns
subdivisions before countries and `GB-ENG` is exactly the precision being
avoided, so only the two-letter code survives.

**The panel wears its uncertainty in the header, not a footnote.** A miner is
joined to a node by the same first-reporter voting that gives it a display name,
so `Attribution` now carries the peer id it settled on — `None` for a preimage
or a carried name, because there is no node behind either. The heading reads
"reported by" and the confidence and vote count sit beside it. The note says the
CPU is the node's and not necessarily what is hashing: on this network the work
is on GPUs that telemetry does not report at all.

Checked against the live feed end to end, not a fixture: real frames decoded,
cached, served and rendered. One node reports an Ubuntu userspace on a Fedora
kernel, which is a container seeing its host — the panel shows that faithfully
rather than tidying it away.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 0b3c1b2e1b feat(telemetry): decode the whole of NodeDetails, and locate nodes by country
We were reading two fields of eleven — the name and the peer id — and dropping
the rest, including the hardware every node already announces. `NodeMetadata`
now carries the slow-moving half: implementation, version, the target triple,
CPU, cores, memory, kernel, distro, whether it is virtualised, and the process
start time.

The volatile half stays out on purpose. Peer count, transaction queue,
bandwidth and state cache change every few seconds, are already a rolling series
in the feed, and would be a lot of rows for something nobody would page back
through.

`startup_time` is kept rather than derived, so node uptime becomes a fact about
the node rather than about how long this observer has been watching it.

**Location is resolved to a country and no finer.** The feed sends
`[latitude, longitude, city]` and no country, so `blackbeard_core::geo` derives
one offline from a 508 KiB boundary set — no network call, and no third party
told where these nodes are. The city is read and discarded: those coordinates
come from an IP geolocation database and at city resolution are wrong often
enough that publishing one would assert something we do not know. Nothing
downstream can render a city because nothing downstream is given one. The
lookup returns subdivisions before countries, and `GB-ENG` is exactly the extra
precision this is avoiding, so only the two-letter code survives.

`LocatedNode` is a separate frame because the telemetry server geolocates
asynchronously — `AddedNode` almost always carries a null location and the
country follows a moment later. Which means a reconnect, which re-sends every
node with a null location again, must not erase a country already resolved.
There is a test for that, because it would present as countries silently
vanishing hours after a restart.

The mapping is pinned by tests built from frames captured off the live feed
rather than from a spec: the format is positional and differs between telemetry
releases, so bytes the feed actually sent are the only honest fixture. If a
future release renumbers a field, those tests are what says so.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m48s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 6s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 16s
I closed #14 on an incomplete fix. Heisenberg still reports **0.054 s/block**
while producing one block every five minutes — 5,500x too fast — with the
running code already correct.

Fixing the code did not fix the rows already written. `at_tip` in the table is
whatever the process that wrote it believed, and every process before the
receipt-stamping fix believed a drained channel was a tip observation. Those
rows are still there, and `restore_ticker_and_timing` replays them on every
start, so the bug comes back from storage each time a chain is restarted after a
catch-up. Heisenberg produces a block every five minutes, which is far too slow
to accumulate twenty fresh samples before the next restart, so it never got the
chance to correct itself.

Restored samples are now checked against the one clock the observer cannot fake.
At the tip a block is seen roughly when it is authored, so the span the observer
recorded should resemble the span the chain recorded for the same blocks.
Propagation and skew are seconds; a catch-up is a factor. A batch that fails is
left unrestored and timing starts fresh — nominal, and labelled nominal.

The threshold is deliberately loose (half) because it only has to separate two
populations that differ by orders of magnitude, and being generous to honest
skew costs nothing: the penalty for a false negative is one window of nominal
hashrate, and for a false positive it is a headline wrong by 5,000x.

Reopens #14 — closing it again when all three chains have held a plausible
interval across a restart, rather than when the code looks right.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 7m48s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 17s
`bucketing` mapped each window to a fixed duration — `600 blocks -> 1 hour`,
`3,600 -> 6 hours` — which is only true at a 6 s target. It was the last place
still assuming a window's block count implies a duration, which is the
assumption the rename retired.

On Planck the gap is visible: its rate fell ninefold when its miners left for
mainnet, so a 600-block window spans about five hours, and the chart underneath
was drawing one. A miner's rank was computed over one period and its history
plotted over another, with nothing on the page saying so.

The range is the window's measured span now, with buckets sized to hit
`MINER_SERIES_POINTS`, so a chart stays the same width in points however fast
the chain is running. Where no span is measured yet — only before the window has
filled — it falls back to the block count at the chain's target rate, which is
the same guess the old table encoded.

Bounded at both ends, because a measurement can be extreme in both directions: a
floor so a burst cannot collapse the chart to minutes, a ceiling so
`100800-blocks` on a slow chain cannot ask the database for a year of buckets.

deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 6s
`/quantus/3600` sent the standings straight to block 3,600. `isBlockRef` matches
any bare run of digits and is consulted two lines before the window is even
considered, so the rename walked into a collision that already existed — and
this module's own header warns about exactly it:

    Shape works until two kinds of thing can look alike... Naming the kind
    costs six characters and removes the whole class of problem.

Naming the window for its block count was right; leaving it as a bare number was
not. The segment is `3600-blocks` now, in the standings path and as the miner
suffix both, which is a distinct shape from a height and from a hash and says
what the number counts.

Bare counts are deliberately not accepted back, though the site emitted them for
about an hour: `/quantus/3600` cannot be told from block 3,600, and guessing
would make one of the two silently open the wrong page. The duration names from
before the rename still resolve and are still rewritten.

Checked in a browser against the live chain:

    /quantus/six_hours   -> /quantus/3600-blocks     last 3,600 blocks · 11 h
    /quantus/week        -> /quantus/100800-blocks   last 100,800 blocks · 29 h

    /planck/3600-blocks  -> unchanged                last 3,600 blocks · 32 h

That last line is the one this whole thread was about.

deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 5s
The gap-fill guard fixed the coarse half of #14 — Planck went from 0.175 s/block
to 4.9 — and left the rest standing. Measured just now against a real ~30 s on
Planck and ~6 s on Heisenberg:

    quantus     9.59 s     plausible
    planck      4.919 s    six times too fast
    heisenberg  0.052 s    a hundred times too fast

`record` stamped `observed_at` with `Utc::now()`, which runs *after* two RPC
round trips and behind a 64-deep channel. On a remote endpoint those round trips
are hundreds of milliseconds, so heads queue and then drain in a burst — a batch
carrying near-identical observation times while their heights march on.
`measured_interval` divides elapsed time by height difference and reads that as
a chain producing blocks twenty times faster than it does.

`observed_at` means "when this observer saw it", so it is now stamped where the
frame is read off the socket: `subscribe_new_heads` sends a `SeenHead` carrying
that moment and `record` uses it rather than asking the clock again. Every
consumer improves at once, because the same field is the DB row, the ticker's
gap, and the tip sample.

Worth noting what this does *not* need: no threshold, no plausibility check, no
discarding of samples. The measurement was always sound; it was being given the
wrong time.

deploy / build (push) Successful in 8m3s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Successful in 7s
deploy / deploy-api (push) Successful in 20s
The site is currently serving a frontend that asks for `window=3600` from an API
that only knows `six_hours`, and every step behaved as designed:

  run 51  ef367d5  rust + web   BUILD FAILED — nothing deployed
  run 52  2594190  web only     web deployed, deploy-api skipped
  run 53  49f50bd  docs only    nothing deployed

Run 52 diffed against `github.event.before`, which is run 51's commit — a commit
whose Rust half never shipped. It correctly saw only `web/src/lib/routes.ts` and
correctly skipped the API. The frontend went out alone.

The gate was asking the wrong question. "What changed since the previous push"
is only the same as "what changed since what is deployed" while every push
deploys, and a failed run breaks that quietly — the workflow's own comment warns
about "a binary on bob that does not match this commit, which nothing would
report", and this is that case arriving by a route the path list cannot see.

So ask the API. `/v1/healthz` now carries the commit it was built from, stamped
via `GIT_SHA` at build time, and the gate diffs from there. `build.rs` exists
only to make cargo notice the value changed, since `option_env!` is read at
compile time and a warm cache would otherwise keep a stale stamp.

Best effort throughout: an unreachable API, a binary too old to carry a stamp,
or a commit this clone does not have all fall back to `github.event.before`,
which is exactly today's behaviour. The gate only ever widens — a false positive
costs a slow deploy, and that trade is already written down beside it.

This commit touches `.gitea/` and `crates/`, so it deploys the API and unbreaks
the site as it lands.

`npx tsc --noEmit` and `npx vite build` pass code that `pnpm build` rejects: the
first resolves a different project graph, the second type-checks nothing. Write
down the commands the workflow actually runs so the next person runs those.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 2594190869 fix(web): an empty path segment is not a window
deploy / build (push) Has been cancelled
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been cancelled
deploy / deploy-web (push) Has been cancelled
`tsc -b` in CI caught what `tsc --noEmit` locally did not:

    src/lib/routes.ts(131,3): error TS2322:
      Type '"" | Window | null' is not assignable to type 'Window | null'.

`segment && LEGACY_WINDOWS[segment]` returns `''` for an empty path rather than
falling through to the `?? null`, so the root route's window was typed as the
empty string. Checked explicitly instead.

The real lesson is the command: CI runs `pnpm build`, which is `tsc -b && vite
build`. `tsc --noEmit` resolves a different project graph and `vite build` does
no type checking at all, so running those two is not the same gate and passed
over this. Run `pnpm format:check && pnpm lint && pnpm build` before pushing —
which is what the workflow itself runs, verbatim.

Nothing deployed from the failed run: `deploy-api` and `deploy-web` were both
skipped, so the site stayed on a consistent pair.

grenadeandClaude Opus 5 ef367d5993 fix: stop timing the catch-up, and name windows for what they are
deploy / build (push) Failing after 7m48s
deploy / deploy-web (push) Has been skipped
deploy / deploy-api (push) Has been skipped
Planck's page reported a **0.175 s** block time against a true 29.8 — a factor
of 170 — flagged *measured* rather than nominal, so the headline block time, the
network hashrate (877 GH/s on a testnet nobody mines) and the window label were
all wrong and none of them looked it.

`measured_interval` divides elapsed time by height difference, which is the
chain's rate only if every height between two samples was watched arriving. A
gap fill is proof they were not. `record()` marked every head-stream block
`at_tip: true`, including the head that landed right after `fill_gap` closed a
1,251-block gap — so the pair straddling it measured how fast this observer
caught up. `ingest` now forgets its tip samples whenever it fills a gap and
records the closing head with `at_tip: false`. The interval goes nominal until
twenty fresh samples exist, which is `MIN_TIP_SAMPLES` doing its job: nominal
and labelled nominal beats measured and wrong.

The reported symptom was smaller and had the same root. `baba-gorchitsa` showed
three blocks in Planck's "six hours" having left for mainnet a day earlier — and
it was right to: 3,600 Planck blocks currently span **29 hours**, because the
chain's rate fell ninefold when its miners left. The label was built by
multiplying the block count by the current interval, which describes the rate
now rather than the period covered. It comes from `span_seconds` instead — the
authored-time span of exactly the blocks tallied, already the denominator of
every per-miner hashrate — and carries no "~", because nothing is estimated.

So the names went too. A window is a block count, and calling one `six_hours` is
a promise the site cannot keep on a chain whose rate moves; `/planck/six_hours`
was the reason a reader believed a day-old row was current. The selector reads
600 / 3.6k / 14.4k / 100.8k and the URL carries the count. Less friendly than
`6h`, and true on every chain. The old names still parse and are never emitted,
so shared links keep working — the router rewrites them.

Closes #14
