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.

Documents the complete feature lifecycle: grilling → to-prd → to-issues
into .scratch/, then /close-feature graduates to docs/. Covers conventions
for both active and closed features, and the proactive close-feature trigger.

- New /close-feature skill graduates .scratch/<slug>/ to docs/ when all
issues are done; also offers to run proactively when it detects a complete
feature. Documents machine setup steps (Linux/Mac, Windows, Codex, new skill
install) in the skill itself.
- Fix AGENTS.md issue-tracker line to reflect the .scratch → docs/ workflow.

Move issues (01–29) and PRD from .scratch/distributed-inference-network/
into docs/issues/ and docs/. Update ralph_progress.py DEFAULT_PRD path
and rewrite docs/agents/issue-tracker.md to reflect the new layout.
The distributed_inference_network.egg-info/docs/ mirror is a build
artifact already covered by *.egg-info/ in .gitignore — not committed.

- 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)
