+description: Dobromir wants autonomous batch execution — ask only for architecture decisions, never permissions
+metadata:
+  node_type: memory
+  type: feedback
+---
+
+When given a backlog, work through all open tasks autonomously and report back when done. Ask questions only for implementation/architecture decisions that genuinely need his input (grilling-style, one at a time with a recommendation) — never for permission to proceed, and don't checkpoint between tasks. Running tests is ALWAYS allowed (allowlisted in settings).
+
+**Why:** he said "work on all the tasks and come back when done. ask only for implementation or architecture decisions and not for permissions" and "I ALWAYS ALLOW running tests! stop asking" (2026-07-02, reward-system session).
+
+**How to apply:** default to acting; batch the full backlog from docs/prd.json ([[project-status]]); surface completed-work summaries at the end, not between stories.

-29/30 user stories done. US-030 is the only open story, ready for ralph.

-## US-030 — Manual route selection + hop-penalty benchmarking
+- **BillingLedger** (packages/tracker/meshnet_tracker/billing.py): event-sourced USDT ledger, gossip-replicated across the hive (id-deduped events), SQLite-persisted. 90/10 split by work units, per-model per-1K-token pricing, 402 before routing.
-- Status: open / ready
+- **Solana custodial adapter** (packages/contracts/meshnet_contracts/solana_adapter.py): urllib JSON-RPC + solders signing. NOTE: installed solana-py 0.40 has NO sync client — don't import solana.rpc.api / spl.token.client.
-- Optional `"route": [node_id, ...]` in POST /v1/chat/completions body
+- **scripts/devnet_setup.py**: creates mock-USDT mint + treasury, writes .env.devnet; --mint-to funds test clients.
-- `POST /v1/benchmark/hop-penalty` — privileged (non-empty Authorization header), fans out to 1/2/3-node routes, records per-hop latency
+- **TrackerServer threads**: deposit watcher (exactly-once via deposit-<sig> event ids) + leader-only settlement loop (threshold OR max-period, dust floor, resend-by-settlement-id → no double-pay).
-- Results appended to `benchmark_results.json` in tracker working dir
+- **Forfeiture penalty**: validator forfeits pending balance + strike; 3 strikes ban; probation redirects shares to protocol cut. Math in packages/validator/README.md.
-- `GET /v1/benchmark/results` — also auth-gated
+- **Web dashboard**: GET /dashboard on any tracker, embedded dashboard.html, 4s polling.
-- Routing algorithm unchanged — data collection only
-- Source: `.scratch/distributed-inference-network/issues/30-manual-route-and-hop-benchmark.md`
 
-**Why:** Need real hop-latency data to eventually optimize route selection beyond synthetic benchmarks.
+Suite: 222 passed, 3 skipped (openai/langchain packages missing in .venv — pre-existing).
-**How to apply:** When asked about next steps, US-030 is the one ready story.
+
+**Why:** design locked in ADR-0015 (USDT custodial settlement; TAI deferred, protocol cut = future TAI liquidity).
+**How to apply:** next steps are live devnet verification (run devnet_setup.py, start tracker with --solana-rpc-url/--usdt-mint/--treasury-keypair --billing-db), then the TAI mint when volume justifies it. Work not yet committed to git as of session end — check git status.

+# meshnet-validator
+
+Optimistic fraud detection (ADR-0003, penalty amended by ADR-0015): the
+validator re-runs a random ~5% sample of completed inference requests against
+a trusted reference node and, on divergence, submits a slash proof and
+forfeits the node's pending balance.
+
+## Why the penalty deters cheating
+
+There is no upfront stake. Settlement is periodic (US-033), so a node always
+has an unpaid **pending balance** — that balance *is* the collateral.
+
+At a sampling rate `p`, a cheater is caught on average once every `1/p`
+fraudulent jobs, so cheating is unprofitable when:
+
+```
+penalty > per_job_gain / p        # p = 0.05  →  penalty > 20 × per_job_gain
+```
+
+With the production settlement period of 24h, the pending balance at any
+moment approximates a full day's earnings — hundreds to thousands of jobs —
+which is far above the 20× bar. Each catch also records a strike; three
+strikes ban the wallet (registration rejected, excluded from routes, unpaid
+pending never settled), and the probationary period (first N jobs unpaid)
+makes re-entry with a fresh wallet costly.
+
+Two operational notes:
+
+- Shortening the settlement period shrinks the collateral. Period changes
+  must weigh chain overhead against deterrence.
+- A cheater immediately after a payout has little to forfeit — the
+  strike/ban ladder covers that window.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+ValidatorProcess(
+    contracts=contracts,          # registry/validation boundary
+    billing=ledger,               # BillingLedger — enables forfeiture
+    reference_node_url="http://...",
+    sample_rate=0.05,
+)
+```
+
+Remote validators can instead call the tracker's privileged
+`POST /v1/billing/forfeit` endpoint (non-empty Authorization header).
