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
