# Alpha hardening — planning index
|
||
|
||
Pre-release alpha audit + grilling (2026-07-04). Bucket 1 trust-boundary blockers + fraud arc: **done** (16/22 original issues). Bucket 2 (12-15, multi-tracker) and 17 (doc dedup) remain deferred/human-gated — not launch blockers.
|
||
|
||
**Launch-readiness grilling (2026-07-06):** locked plan is devnet dev/test run now, then real mainnet SOL/USDT for the first cohort — friends (API clients) + hired VPS/VPC hosts (own test infra, not third-party volunteers, stake-free). No new public token; TAI stays dormant per ADR-0002's existing volume/legal gates. Two new issues came out of this session:
|
||
|
||
- **[21 — Honest-noise calibration corpus](./issues/21-honest-noise-calibration-corpus.md)** — rescoped from "prod gate" to a hard **alpha-release blocker**. `Status: ready-for-human` — engineering (audit.py raw divergence, tracker dispatch endpoint, SQLite corpus, p99 envelope) done 2026-07-06; blocked on a human running the calibration job against the real hired-VPS fleet before launch.
|
||
- **[23 — Dynamic HF-benchmarked pricing](./issues/23-dynamic-hf-pricing.md)** — new, high priority but not a release blocker. `Status: done` — engineering complete 2026-07-06 (hf_pricing.py, opt-in daily refresh loop, GET /v1/pricing/hf/history); real `hf_aliases` curation per model is a follow-up human sign-off, not a completion blocker.
|
||
|
||
Locked scope: one settlement tracker, open node join, devnet mock-USDT, reputation carries forward → fraud must be bounded. See [ADR-0016](../../docs/adr/0016-alpha-scope-and-known-limitations.md).

## Recommended implementation order
|
||
|
||
**Implement Bucket 1 first.** Fraud arc depends on **auth foundation (02 + 20)**, **hive gossip enforcement (01)**, and **persistence (05)**.
|
||
|
||
### Phase 1 — Trust boundary (alpha blockers)
|
||
|
||
| Order | Issue | ID | Depends on |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| 1 | [Unified auth boundary](./issues/02-a2-unified-auth-boundary.md) + [Validator service token](./issues/20-validator-service-token.md) | A2, — | — |
|
||
| 2 | [C1 hive gossip auth enforcement](./issues/01-c1-gossip-auth.md) | C1 | 02 |
|
||
| 3 | [Persist strike/ban/reputation](./issues/05-a1-a5-persist-strike-ban-reputation.md) | A1/A5 | 02 |
|
||
| 4 | [Starting credit 0 + spend cap](./issues/03-c5-starting-credit-zero.md) | C5, M1 | 02 |
|
||
| 5 | [Tracker-authoritative accounting](./issues/04-h2-tracker-authoritative-accounting.md) | H2 | 02 |
|
||
| 6 | [Wallet binding proof](./issues/11-c6-wallet-binding-proof.md) | C6 | 02, 03 |
|
||
|
||
### Phase 2 — Fraud arc (after Phase 1)
|
||
|
||
| Order | Issue | Depends on |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| 6 | [TOPLOC integration](./issues/06-fraud-toploc-integration.md) | 05 |
|
||
| 7 | [Commitment + bisection blame](./issues/07-fraud-commitment-bisection-blame.md) | 06 |
|
||
| 8 | [Reputation model](./issues/08-fraud-reputation-model-persistence.md) | 05, 07 |
|
||
| 9 | [Routing + adaptive audit](./issues/09-fraud-reputation-routing-adaptive-audit.md) | 08 |
|
||
| 10 | [Penalty calibration wiring](./issues/10-fraud-penalty-calibration-wiring.md) | 07, 08, 02 |
|
||
|
||
**Prod gate:** [21 honest-noise calibration corpus](./issues/21-honest-noise-calibration-corpus.md) must complete before enabling production TOPLOC audit thresholds (issues 09–10 in prod). Dev/staging TOPLOC wiring (06–08) may proceed in parallel.
|
||
|
||
### Phase 3 — Bucket 2 (post-alpha, design tracked)
|
||
|
||
| Issue | ADR |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| [12 C2 on-chain idempotency](./issues/12-c2-on-chain-idempotency.md) | 0019 §1 |
|
||
| [13 C3/C4 consensus-gated settlement](./issues/13-c3-c4-consensus-gated-settlement.md) | 0019 §2 |
|
||
| [14 A3 durable Raft term/vote](./issues/14-a3-raft-durable-term-vote.md) | 0019 §3 |
|
||
| [15 H1 commutative forfeit](./issues/15-h1-commutative-forfeit.md) | 0019 §4 |
|
||
|
||
### Phase 4 — Doc hygiene (parallel anytime)
|
||
|
||
| Issue |
|
||
|---|
|
||
| [16 US-006 + fraud issue reconciliation](./issues/16-doc-us006-reconciliation.md) |
|
||
| [17 Duplicate US-020 dedup](./issues/17-doc-duplicate-us020-dedup.md) |

| [19 Cryptography + test env](./issues/19-doc-cryptography-test-env.md) |
|
||
| [22 MEMORY + project-status index](./issues/22-doc-memory-project-status.md) (done) |
|
||
| [21 Honest-noise calibration corpus](./issues/21-honest-noise-calibration-corpus.md) (ops; prod gate for audits) |
|
||
|
||
## First 3 to implement
|
||
|
||
1. **02 + 20** — Unified auth boundary + validator service token (shared helper and roles)
|
||
2. **01** — Apply hive auth to billing/accounts/stats gossip endpoints
|
||
3. **05** — Persist strike/ban/reputation (penalties must survive restart)
|
||
|
||
## Research anchor
|
||
|
||
Fraud design cites [.scratch/alpha-hardening/research-verifiable-inference.md](./research-verifiable-inference.md):
|
||
|
||
- **ADOPT** TOPLOC (§8–9, build-vs-adopt table)
|
||
- **On-demand** commitments, not every request (§8 layer 1 footnote; ADR-0018 §3)
|
||
- **5% audit budget** as target, not cap (§1.1, §6)
|
||
- **19× deterrence** via full pending forfeiture (§1.1)
|
||
- **Hop bisection** blame pattern (§1.2, §8 layer 3)
|
||
- **Honest-noise corpus** before prod thresholds (§8 layer 3; issue 21)
|
||
- **Roadmap-only:** zkML, TEE, Gensyn RepOps (§9)
