A from-genesis sync of a patches-only build stopped at block 9,189,161, the
futureEipsTime activation, with a stateroot mismatch. Two causes, one patch:
upstream bases futureEips on the unreleased amsterdam definition while chain
2800 isolates it on Osaka, and the fleet activates EIP-2935 history storage in
the same fork, one system state write per block that a build without this
patch never performs. With 0005 applied the same node, same data directory,
crossed the activation and keeps importing. The fleet's optional Block-STM
wiring is deliberately omitted and the omission is stated in the patch header.
Pristine d2032017, plain git apply of 0001+0003+0004, installDist exit 0 on
JDK 21, besu/v26.8-develop-d203201. Stated next to what it does not prove:
the import proof against the live chain is still owed.
The table carried the hash of an earlier derived export; the published file
has been the fleet's byte-for-byte genesis since the registry-binding commit.
The line-ending caveat is written next to it because that is exactly how the
wrong hash survives review on a Windows checkout.
The published line delivered the anchor (source and patch 0003) but had lost
the chain configuration: no genesis, no run recipe. The unpublished local line
had genesis.json, RUN-A-NODE.md and the measured claims, but predated the
anchor. This commit carries the package files onto the anchor line:
- genesis.json restored, byte for byte as the running nodes hold it
- RUN-A-NODE.md restored; the basefee-floor patch returns as 0004; the anchor
section states plainly that a build without patch 0003 has not been shown to
import headers past block 13,014,000, and that an import proof for a
patches-only build is the next thing this repository owes its reader
- bootnodes are deliberately NOT published: today's entry points are consensus
or origin hosts, and this project does not print its machines' addresses; a
dedicated bootnode host is the planned replacement, an enode is available by
mail until then
