Record completed tracker requests into the validation log with ordinary route metadata, then have the validator fetch missing hop TOPLOC commitments on demand only after sampling. This closes the remaining alpha review gap where bisection worked only for synthetic events.
Verification: .venv/bin/python -m compileall -q packages tests; pytest tests/test_hop_bisection.py tests/test_billing_ledger.py tests/test_toploc_audit.py -q (31 passed); full pytest: 316 passed, 3 skipped, 1 env failure from meshnet-node pid 1263451 occupying port 7000.
Address post-review blockers from the alpha hardening diff: charge non-stream completions that omit usage, include prompt tokens in max_charge_per_request enforcement, and wire the CLI to a persisted local registry contract by default.
Verification: .venv/bin/python -m compileall -q packages tests; focused billing/CLI checks passed; full pytest: 314 passed, 3 skipped, 1 env failure from existing meshnet-node on port 7000.
Wire server.py handlers to the auth helper: forfeit requires validator
service token or admin session (client API keys rejected); billing summary/
settlements/registry-wallets and benchmark endpoints require admin/service;
the three gossip mutation endpoints require a fresh hive HMAC signature and
outgoing gossip pushes are signed. Dashboard sends its session token on
panel fetches. Existing tests updated for the new gates.

- cli.py: change default --quantization from bfloat16 to int8; saves
~50% VRAM/RAM for new nodes that don't specify a quantization
- startup.py: display memory budget and GPU info in GB (e.g. 124.9 GB RAM)
instead of MB; show remaining headroom after full model load
- test_tracker_routing.py: add test_shard_heal_cycle_surviving_node_covers_dead_peers_gap
— end-to-end proof that:
1. tracker purges expired node A and queues LOAD_SHARD for node B
2. node B receives directive on next heartbeat
3. TorchNodeServer.apply_tracker_directives hot-swaps the backend
4. node B re-registers covering the full model; coverage gap closed
Test runs in <1s with monkeypatched _load_backend (no GPU needed)

_select_route now prefers nodes with higher effective throughput
(benchmark_tokens_per_sec / (queue_depth + 1)) when multiple nodes
cover the same interval, breaking the tie after max-reach selection.
TorchNodeServer.route_timeout property added for external inspection.
Tests added:
- _select_route with overlapping shards (A:0-22, B:20-24) → correct X-Meshnet-Start-Layer protocol
- _select_route with gap → clear error message
- Fast node beats slow node when shards are equal
- Busy fast node vs idle slow node (queue_depth factor)
- Two-StubNodeServer integration via TrackerServer
- route_timeout property exposed on TorchNodeServer

Adds _RollingCounter and _StatsCollector to the tracker: three rolling windows
(hour=60×1min, day=24×1hr, month=30×1day) track request RPMs per model.
GET /v1/stats returns combined local + peer stats. POST /v1/stats/gossip lets
trackers push their local slice for additive merge in hive mode.
SQLite persistence via --stats-db flag; stats survive tracker restarts.
Records a stat for each proxied /v1/chat/completions request.

Coverage endpoint now skips node purge so dead nodes remain visible.
Each band in /v1/coverage/<model> includes a `nodes` array with per-node
health: alive status, last_seen_seconds_ago, heartbeat_success_rate,
inference_success_rate, queue_depth, uptime_seconds, and endpoint.
Updated tests to assert new band structure.

When _select_route picks two nodes with overlapping registrations (e.g.
A:0-22 and B:20-24), the tracker now injects start_layer per hop so B
executes only layers 23-24, not 20-24.
- model_backend: forward_bytes + _run_layers accept start_layer offset;
clamped to shard_start to prevent out-of-bounds indexing
- torch_server: _handle_binary_forward reads X-Meshnet-Start-Layer header;
_run_downstream_pipeline sends it per hop; route is now list[tuple[str,int]]
- server: proxy injects {endpoint, start_layer} objects in X-Meshnet-Route;
/v1/route response includes start_layer per node in the nodes list
- test: fake backends accept start_layer=None kwarg

Merges worktree-feat+us-016 into master. Combined both sets of _NodeEntry
fields: hf_repo/num_layers (HEAD) and relay_addr/cert_fingerprint/peer_id
(US-017). Kept HEAD's auto-shard tracker query and shard_label formatting.
US-016: mining-style startup CLI with live ASCII dashboard, hardware
detection, auto-shard range detection from model layer count, tracker
network-assign integration for gap-filling.
US-017: P2P gossip protocol, NAT-traversal relay node, TLS peer
authentication via cert fingerprint.

- Wrap wfile.write in _TrackerHandler._send_json with except BrokenPipeError
- Replace uuid4 node IDs with deterministic SHA-256 hash of endpoint+model+shards
so nodes keep the same ID on re-registration after tracker restart
- /v1/models now lists HF-repo models (not just preset models)
- /v1/coverage/{model} now resolves HF repos, not just preset names
- /v1/route response includes node_id alongside endpoint
- startup.py exposes tracker_node_id on node object and prints it in dashboard

Tracker /v1/route now resolves HF model nodes (by hf_repo or short name)
in addition to preset models, using the same greedy interval-cover logic.
This allows distributed inference routing across two nodes each holding
half the model.
Endpoint dedup: re-registering the same endpoint atomically replaces the
old entry so stale registrations don't accumulate across node restarts.
Purge logging: tracker now prints when a node expires due to missed
heartbeats so operators can see dead nodes being removed.
Timing fix: heartbeat timeout raised from 30s to 90s (3 missed beats);
node heartbeat interval lowered from 30s to 20s to maintain margin.
