verify-anchor: from KEYS_FROM the OK line names the registry v3 epoch whose keys verified the seals, not the key manifest

verify-anchor.mjs: AIP-22 stage 3b read path, inert until an index marks it - from KEYS_FROM (or the v3 epoch whose index entry carries keysFrom) the key and the id of a seal's index come from the v3 epoch in force at the parent, as both clients read them; the ECDSA link of an id is inherited across epochs that omit it, and an id linked again drops its older address. Without keysFrom anywhere nothing changes: chain 2800 5/5, testnet 28001 5/5 re-run on 2026-09-23.

tools: verify-anchor.mjs discovers registry v3 epochs (AIP-22 stage 3, formatVersion 3 entries of the same manifest index) and verifies each in full with registry-v3.mjs (every proof of possession, every ECDSA link, the rotation chain, the Merkle registry hash), then requires every v3 row to carry exactly the Falcon-512 key, SLH-DSA key and address of the key manifest that signs at its height; the identity height is the first epoch's bindHeight, IDENTITY_BLOCK=none disables it as a negative control. Adds tools/registry-v3.mjs and tools/falcon512.mjs, which verify-anchor.mjs imports and the package did not carry. Checked 2026-09-23: testnet 28001 20/20 with its published v3 epoch (registry hash 0xd19eef4a..., identity from 3,080,010); chain 2800 20/20 unchanged; a byte-altered epoch and an epoch whose SLH-DSA key differs from the signing manifest both refused with the reason.

anchor: translate the last Romanian comment on a production path
...
BlockTimer.java carried a Romanian one-liner explaining why the anchor
proposal-delay configuration is loaded at construction rather than lazily. The
explanation matters and is kept in full, in English: a lazily-loaded consensus
setting turned an unreadable file into 125 seconds of halted chain on 2026-09-03,
while every configuration gate stayed green because the files existed.
Production strings and comments are read by people who do not speak Romanian.

SPEC.md was a THIRD copy of the follower configuration, and it had drifted: it was missing aere.pq.hybridRegistry entirely, without which no SLH-DSA seal in a v2 certificate can be verified, and its anchorMinSeals still lacked the two dated steps from 4 September. It is now generated from the same live source as run-node.sh and RUN-A-NODE.md, and the gate compares all three: a value that lives in three places drifts in at least one

RUN-A-NODE: the measured RAM figure for a from-genesis import. The requirement grows with the height: the same import that ran comfortably at 3 M blocks was, at 12.2 M, using 5.96 GB resident with a 3.4 GB heap, old generation 99.8 percent full, four full GCs every five seconds, and no room left to raise the heap. 8 GB is the floor at which a full import stops being practical, not a comfortable size

The heap note, corrected: the first version gave a fraction-of-RAM rule, and the measurement does not support it. Same machine, same database, four values at two heights: 2400m ran at ~82,000 blocks/min up to 8 M and then collapsed to ~640 with the old generation 99.88 percent full and 1,409 full GCs, while 3400m past 9.7 M did zero full GCs at ~28,800. Too large dies of OutOfMemoryError because the storage engine lives off-heap; too small dies of full GC once the post-quantum precompiles make blocks heavier. The advice is now to read jstat, not to pick a fraction

Heap is not memory: the storage engine keeps its cache off-heap, and at six million blocks that part is larger than the heap. If you see OutOfMemoryError, try a SMALLER -Xmx

run-node.sh now actually sets the five post-4-September properties, and both it and RUN-A-NODE.md are generated from the live archive node
...
On 2026-09-05 the five properties a follower needs past blocks 17,047,600 and 17,225,968 were added to
RUN-A-NODE.md but not to run-node.sh, while the document already claimed the script set them. Our own
from-genesis import proof, built from the published revision, synced to block 17,047,400 and then
rejected every hybrid anchor 12,352 times: the v2 activation height stayed at Long.MAX_VALUE. Anyone
following this package could not pass 17,047,600.
Both blocks are now derived from the BESU_OPTS of the network's archive node, whose role is exactly a
follower's, with the two public reading nodes as witnesses that must agree on the anchor set; only the
signing keys are removed and the registry paths rewritten. Re-measured on the same node and database
after the fix: past 17,047,600 with zero rejections.

Both are prerequisites for any external review programme, and one of them was already
promised by our live security.txt to a file that did not exist.
SECURITY.md states the scope, the response times we hold ourselves to, and three things
we would rather a reviewer heard from us than discovered: there has been no third-party
audit, every validator is operated by the Foundation, and the post-quantum guarantee is
at anchor heights rather than on every block.
AUDITS.md opens by saying we have had no third-party audit, and keeps that first line
until it stops being true.

Prove that consensus safety does not depend on the transport
...
The network layer authenticates peers by their secp256k1 node key, and consensus
messages are routed by the address derived from it. An adversary who recovers a
validator's ECDSA key therefore gets everything the transport can give: it completes
the handshake as that validator and signs syntactically perfect messages that recover
to its address. This test models exactly that adversary - full ECDSA compromise, no
Falcon key - and requires all four hot-path messages to be refused while the
post-quantum enforcement is armed, with a harvested seal replayed across message
kinds, blocks, heights, rounds, chains, and from another validator entirely.
The honest form of the claim: the transport is not post-quantum, and breaking it
does not buy a break of safety. It says nothing about liveness.

One shared harness for both surfaces (the twin-class lesson applied in advance):

Consolidate twin test classes: one copy of each proof

Twelve test classes existed twice, under a neutral name and under an internal
inventory name, ~4,600 duplicated lines. Two copies of the same proof diverge
silently: one receives a repair and the other does not - which is exactly what
happened once, and what the cache-hygiene test below documents. The neutral
names survive; per pair the test counts are identical, and the only code
difference (a warm-up window constant) exercises the same path and the same
assertion. The cache-hygiene reproduction now runs the surviving class's
lifecycle, unchanged in what it asserts.

The round-change now carries an optional post-quantum seal, disarmed by default
...
The last hot-path QBFT message under the same pattern as prepare and proposal:
its own domain AERE-PQ-ROUNDCHANGE-1 over (chainId, height, targetRound, prepared
metadata - so a bare 'move on' seal cannot be replayed as 'move on and re-propose
THIS block'), a separate emission gate (aere.pq.roundChangePq.attachBlock), a
separate enforcement height (aere.pq.roundChangePq.forkBlock) self-wired into the
payload validator so it also judges round-changes inside proposal justifications,
and byte-for-byte upstream encoding when no seal is present. The seal is signed
once and the same object goes on the wire; Falcon signatures are randomised, so
a re-signing would put a different message on the wire than the one handled
locally.
