+# DGR-004 verification blocker — 2026-07-14
+
+## Verified state
+
+The pre-existing DGR-004 boundary is present and its lock data is internally
+consistent:
+
+- `scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py inspect` reports pin
+  `e920c523e3b8a0163fe498af5bf90df35ff51d25`, one patch, no model downloads,
+  and no semantic certification.
+- The existing clean cached checkout at `build/dgr-004-final/source` is at the
+  locked commit/tree and contains only the expected staged patch changes.
+- The existing `llama-gguf-hash --help` smoke binary runs successfully.
+- `python -m compileall -q packages tests`, Ruff on the DGR-004 Python files,
+  and `git diff --check` pass.
+
+## Blocker
+
+The verification environment no longer contains the `.venv` recorded in
+`commands.txt`, nor a `cmake` executable on `PATH`. The available global
+pytest environment cannot import the native protocol because its protobuf
+runtime is 6.33.6 while the checked-in generated code requires 7.35.0. This
+causes both `tests/test_llama_cpp_dependency.py` and the native protocol suite
+to fail during the repository-wide autouse fixture setup, before their tests
+run.
+
+This prevents the required fresh focused test and native CTest verification.
+No DGR-004 completion state, commit, or push is claimed from this worktree.
+
+## Continuation
+
+1. Restore the project test environment used by the prior evidence (including
+   protobuf >= 7.35.0 and CMake), without changing DGR-004 source files.
+2. Run the exact focused test command from `commands.txt` and the clean
+   `reproduce` command using the local llama.cpp object cache.
+3. Re-run compileall, Ruff, diff check, and the deterministic full suite.
+4. Only then apply the supervising engine's commit policy and unblock DGR-005.
+
+## Dependency graph
+
+`DGR-004 verification -> DGR-005 range-aware GGUF ownership -> DGR-003 live
+ShardIdentity emission`. DGR-005 and DGR-003-emission were not modified.

+# DGR-004 — Reproducible pinned llama.cpp patch stack
+
+Status: **done**. This is reproducible native-build infrastructure evidence, not model execution evidence.
+
+## Delivered boundary
+
+- Pin: `ggml-org/llama.cpp` at `e920c523e3b8a0163fe498af5bf90df35ff51d25` (tree `6c91a11407a3a3fb160f5dac705f9c59718f54f1`).
+- Ordered patch: `0001-cmake-reserve-meshnet-patch-stack-abi-marker.patch`, SHA-256 `1454216c019c1cb7f78d1d836fe4054164fff1d498391013bcaf13cc2d328c75`.
+- The sole patch adds an interface-library CMake marker. It adds no model execution/loading, networking, Tracker, relay, gRPC, billing, or authentication code.
+- `scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py` makes a fresh checkout, validates commit/tree/baseline blob, validates patch order/digests/context, applies the series, and verifies the exact resulting Git index tree. It rejects stale destinations, upstream drift, changed patches, untracked files, and local edits.
+
+## Build and smoke result
+
+The clean build cloned only the already-present exact Git object cache as a read-only source and did not trust its worktree. CMake 4.4.0 and GCC 15.2.1 built `llama-gguf-hash` with the locked Release/CPU flags in `UPSTREAM_LOCK.json`; `llama-gguf-hash --help` passed with no model download or load.
+
+llama.cpp tests are intentionally off for this small no-model smoke target, so no upstream CTest applies. Meshnet's focused native protocol suite passed independently. Exact results are in `commands.txt` and `results.json`.
+
+## License, compatibility, and handoff
+
+llama.cpp is MIT licensed. The materializer requires upstream `LICENSE`, preserves all upstream notices, and `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` requires including them in redistribution. No Mesh-LLM code or patch was adopted.
+
+The lock records the patched upstream blob and resulting patched tree. Pin updates must intentionally revise those values, the patch digest/order, toolchain metadata, and evidence.
+
+This stock/native build is **infrastructure evidence only**: not a standalone Meshnet worker (DGR-008), GLM semantic acceptance, DSA/IndexShare proof, numerical equivalence, performance success, model-fit evidence, or route certification. The stock dense-MLA fallback remains explicitly uncertified. DGR-001 CPU v1 remains `stop`; DGR-017 is a separate target contract. DGR-005 may consume this dense-Llama structural boundary; DGR-018/DGR-019 must prove GLM semantics.

 Status: ready-for-agent
 
 ## Mandatory fresh-session context
 
 - Read [RALPH-CONTEXT.md](../RALPH-CONTEXT.md) completely before changing code.
-- This issue is `DGR-004` in [prd.json](../prd.json).
+- This issue chains DGR-004, DGR-005, and DGR-003-emission into one session.
 - Read the evidence README for every dependency listed below.
 - Inspect current code and `git status`; historical text and previous agent claims are not evidence.
+- Current HEAD is 7b8e467. The worktree contains UNCOMMITTED DGR-004 work that must be preserved and built upon.
+- DGR-001 CPU verdict remains immutable STOP.
+- DGR-017 is a separate alpha contract.
+- ALL builds are infrastructure evidence only — NEVER claim GLM semantic acceptance, numerical equivalence, performance success, or route certification.
+- Stock dense-MLA fallback remains explicitly uncertified.
 
-## Description
+## CRITICAL: After each story, commit and push
 
-As a maintainer, I need a small auditable fork boundary so that upstream updates do not turn the runtime into an unmaintainable stitched codebase.
+After EVERY story below is complete:
+1. `git add` ONLY files belonging to that story
+2. `git commit -m "feat: <story-id> - <brief description>"`
+3. `git push origin ralph/dgr-001-performance-contract`
+4. Verify local == remote SHA
+5. Update ONLY that story's issue status and PRD passes field
+6. Write that story's evidence/README.md and commands.txt
 
-## Expected durable outputs
+## Story 1 — DGR-004 verify and commit
 
-- Exact llama.cpp upstream pin
-- Numbered minimal patch stack
-- Reproducible fetch/apply/build smoke
-- evidence/DGR-004/README.md
+The worktree already contains uncommitted DGR-004 implementation: `packages/node/native/llama/*`, `scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py`, `tests/test_llama_cpp_dependency.py`, and evidence files. Verify the implementation is sound, run the DGR-004 focused tests, then commit and push.
 
-## Acceptance criteria
+Requirements:
+- Pin: `ggml-org/llama.cpp` at `e920c523e3b8a0163fe498af5bf90df35ff51d25`
+- One minimal patch adding a CMake interface-library marker
+- `scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py` reproduces clean checkout, validates commit/tree/blobs, applies patches with fail-closed hash checks, builds smoke target
+- Reject stale destinations, upstream drift, changed patches, untracked files, local edits
+- Preserve upstream license and attribution notices
+- No model execution, networking, Tracker, relay, gRPC, billing, or auth code in patches
 
-- [ ] Pin one exact llama.cpp commit through a reproducible source dependency mechanism.
-- [ ] Store a numbered minimal patch stack separately from Meshnet networking code.
-- [ ] Add a build script that applies/checks patches and builds the standalone worker without manual source copying.
-- [ ] Record upstream file/ABI assumptions and fail clearly when the pin changes.
-- [ ] Preserve upstream license and attribution notices.
-- [ ] Add a clean rebuild smoke test that does not download a model.
+Acceptance:
+- [ ] `scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py inspect` reports the locked boundary
+- [ ] `scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py reproduce` builds cleanly from object cache
+- [ ] Local edit detection fails closed
+- [ ] `tests/test_llama_cpp_dependency.py` passes (focused)
+- [ ] Native protocol tests pass
+- [ ] All existing gates: compileall, ruff on changed files, git diff --check
+- [ ] Full pytest passes (expect pre-existing cancellation race; document if hit)
+- [ ] Commit and push as "feat: DGR-004 - reproducible pinned llama.cpp patch stack"
+- [ ] Mark DGR-004 issue Status: done and prd.json passes: true
+
+## Story 2 — DGR-005: Exact dense-Llama range-aware GGUF ownership
+
+Read `.scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/issues/05-implement-dense-llama-range-aware-gguf-ownership.md` completely. DGR-003 and DGR-004 must be complete (they will be after Story 1).
+
+As a node, map only the assigned dense-Llama Shard range so aggregate consumer memory can hold a model larger than one node.
+
+Requirements:
+- Register and allocate only `blk.N.*` tensors in the assigned range
+- Load embeddings only for the head and final norm/LM head only for the tail, including tied embeddings
+- Prefer range-aware mapping from one exact source GGUF; if derivative sub-GGUFs are used temporarily, verify source/slice hashes and avoid claiming final artifact semantics
+- Report authoritative loaded range and endpoint ownership from the model, not operator CLI claims
+- Demonstrate mapped/resident memory scales with owned tensors rather than full model size
+
+Acceptance:
+- [ ] Range-aware tensor ownership with exact start/end layer guard
+- [ ] Head/tail embedding loading is correct (no double-load, no omission)
+- [ ] Mapped memory scales with owned tensors, not full model
 - [ ] Targeted pytest tests pass
-- [ ] python -m compileall packages tests passes for Python changes
-- [ ] git diff --check passes
-- [ ] Default tests remain deterministic, model-download-free, API-credit-free, and GPU-free
-- [ ] Full deterministic pytest -q passes, or the exact pre-existing unrelated failure is recorded with a clean-tree reproduction
-- [ ] Pinned native C++ target builds and focused CTest/protocol tests pass where native code is touched
-- [ ] llama.cpp patch stack applies cleanly to the exact pinned commit where patch code is touched
-- [ ] Read .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/RALPH-CONTEXT.md and this story issue completely before changing code
-- [ ] Read and verify every dependency evidence README before relying on dependency behavior
-- [ ] Preserve all pre-existing working-tree changes and stage only files belonging to this story
-- [ ] Write .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/evidence/DGR-004/README.md with files changed, exact commands and real results, limitations, compatibility notes, and dependent-story handoff
-- [ ] Update only this story issue to Status: done after every acceptance criterion and quality gate passes
+- [ ] Native C++ target builds and focused CTest/protocol tests pass
+- [ ] All existing gates: compileall, ruff, git diff --check, full pytest
+- [ ] Write DGR-005 evidence/README.md and commands.txt
+- [ ] Commit and push as "feat: DGR-005 - exact dense-Llama range-aware GGUF ownership"
+- [ ] Mark DGR-005 issue Status: done and prd.json passes: true
 
-## Dependency handoff
+## Story 3 — DGR-003-emission: Wire live ShardIdentity from native seam
 
-- `DGR-001` and `DGR-017` must have `passes: true`; read both evidence READMEs and verify their referenced files/commands.
+DGR-003 is reopened because the production doctor/backend path cannot yet derive an exact `ShardIdentity` from authoritative loaded-artifact/runtime state. DGR-004 and DGR-005 now provide the native seam. Wire it.
 
-## Finish contract
+Requirements:
+- Construct `ShardIdentity` from the actual immutable artifact pin, patch/runtime pin, tokenizer, numerical recipe, cache layout, schema versions, and owned range
+- At `SessionOpen`, compare `CompatibilityFingerprint` and return DGR-002's `ERROR_CODE_FINGERPRINT_MISMATCH`
+- The production doctor/backend capability report path must emit the exact identity block
+- A digest match proves canonical consistency, NOT node authenticity
+- Only tracker-owned certification of a non-synthetic complete multi-node distributed forward can move a recipe out of dark
 
-- Create the task evidence directory and durable handoff required above.
-- Preserve real failures and blockers; never fabricate benchmark, model, test or hardware output.
-- Change this issue to `Status: done` only after all criteria pass.
-- Emit `<promise>COMPLETE</promise>` only after the evidence handoff exists.
+Acceptance:
+- [ ] Production doctor/backend emits exact `ShardIdentity` in capability report
+- [ ] `check_session_open` validates fingerprint, range, session, and epoch
+- [ ] Stale epoch is rejected with `ERROR_CODE_EPOCH_STALE`
+- [ ] All DGR-003 focused/adversarial tests pass (126+ tests)
+- [ ] All existing gates: compileall, ruff, git diff --check, full pytest
+- [ ] Update DGR-003 issue to Status: done and prd.json passes: true
+- [ ] Write DGR-003-emission evidence addendum
+- [ ] Commit and push as "feat: DGR-003 - wire live ShardIdentity emission from native seam"
+
+## Story 4 — LOW PRIORITY: Audit every file in the repository for undocumented assumptions about model architecture, runtime behavior, protocol semantics, memory layout, threading model, error handling strategy, platform compatibility, and upstream API stability
+
+This story is INTENTIONALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE. It exists so the session does not exit after Story 3. Work on it ONLY after all previous stories are committed and pushed. Do not modify any files for this story — read-only analysis only. Never mark this story complete. If you reach this point, report "ANCHOR: ready for new tasks" and wait. Do not exit.
+- [ ] Read-only audit of repository assumptions (never completes)
