+## Model cache layout (2026-07-07)
+- Node downloads now cache files directly under `<download_dir>/<model>/`, not `<model>/layers_<start>-<end>/`, so a wider cached layer assignment can satisfy a later narrower assignment without duplicate shard folders.
+- Downloader checks tracker-advertised `files` + `file_sizes` before peer/HF download; complete local files return immediately and preserve any extra files already in the model folder.
+- Verification: downloader/startup targeted subset passes (`pytest tests/test_node_startup.py -k "download_shard or same_shard"`). Full `tests/test_node_startup.py` has 46 passed and 4 unrelated Windows chmod/path separator failures.
+- Live Windows confirmation: `meshnet-node start --tracker http://192.168.0.179:8080 --model Qwen3.6-35B-A3B` reuses `F:\_STORAGE\models\qwen3.6-35b-a3b`, prints `Cached at`, registers, and reaches ready as node `5gMLrmyB-26b1f8a4204a`.
+- Follow-up fix: preset-model startup now starts the heartbeat thread after registration; without this, the node appeared briefly on the dashboard and was purged on first inference/route after heartbeat expiry. Tracker dashboard now has a "Console output" panel backed by `/v1/console` for node register/expiry, routing failures, and proxy events.
