fix(config): type the decided v2b block + sync worker-image pins in main's chain.toml by tensorlink-dev · Pull Request #457 · TensorLink-AI/cascade

tensorlink-dev · 2026-11-13T01:56:35Z

Owner-approved 2026-11-13 ("Go"). Merge + announce only on the owner's word — validators that pull main get these values.

What this fixes

An external validator crash-loops at start:

activation: refusing to start — the activation note would exceed 128 bytes and TRIM the v2b-69630f92 segment

Decided votes had been typed into the operator's deployed chain.toml but never into main, so main's file left the on-chain readiness note too long on a node whose rolling-era-king vote is still signalled (resolved from the chain, not typed). New code refuses to start rather than silently drop the v2b vote.

Changes

[v2] image_decoupled_from_block = 9493200 — the decided v2b switch, typed (locked 9486000, 85.9% of stake; applied at era start 9493200). Behaviour-identical; frees its note segment. Same step as forfeit / margin-v2 on 2026-11-01.
Worker-image pins synced to live (main still named rc11 / v0.9.0; the network trains on rc15 / v0.13.0):

key	main	now (= live)
`[training] train_image_digest` (v1)	v0.9.0 `43c07d42`	v0.13.0 `205ff682`
`[round] funded_pod_image`	rc11	rc15 `5d41d94b`
`[round] worker_code_fingerprint`	rc11 `33b0d42f`	rc15 `2d8261aa`
`[v2.training] train_image_digest`	rc11 `2fd193ca`	rc15 `5d41d94b`

Verified (`python -P`, no torch, against the live activation records)

Loads under require_vote_pin; v2 contract digest = live 7bb581e3.
Note budget OK for the crashing validator's note shape and ours (main as-is: still refuses; the typed v2b line is what fixes it).
Typed-notice rule passes for a fresh node and a tally-locked node (the switch era has started).
With the runtime-resolved blocks, quantile head + shared ladder switch on at 9494100, off at 9493200.

After merge: instruction to validators

Pull main, keep your state files (validator_state.db, cascade_state.json, warm_start_init.json, activation_*.json), restart. No hand edits.

Deliberately not synced

Vote-resolved blocks ([round] rolling/epoch rollover, [scoring] era_king/tenure/cohort, [v2] from_block): validators resolve these themselves and at least one external node holds a different rolling lock-in (9378000 vs ours 9136800).
budget_denomination_after / packed_sources: the repo ships them unarmed by design (test_contract_block_gate); the deployment arms them.
Operator-only knobs (money limits, host lists, providers, SKU walls) and blocked_hotkeys.

…lling and packed-source rule main still named worker-v2.0.0-rc11 (v2) and worker-v0.9.0 (v1) while the network has trained on rc15 / v0.13.0 since 2026-10-31 / 2026-09-28, so a validator or miner on main computed a different contract digest than the fleet (v2 34b72ba9 vs live 7bb581e3). Synced, each = the deployed value: - [training] train_image_digest (v1) -> 205ff682 (v0.13.0) - [training] budget_denomination_after(_block) = points+mv20 @ 9165600 - [round] funded_pod_image / worker_code_fingerprint -> rc15 pins - [v2.training] train_image_digest -> rc15 5d41d94b - [static_guard] packed_sources = reject @ 9169200 Resulting digests equal live: v2 7bb581e3, v1 13a588e8. Deliberately NOT synced: vote-resolved blocks ([round] rolling/epoch rollover, [scoring] era_king/tenure/cohort, [v2] from_block). Validators resolve those themselves and at least one external validator holds a different rolling lock-in (9378000 vs ours 9136800); typing ours could refuse it at start. Also not synced: operator-only knobs (funded money limits, host lists, generation providers, calibration) and blocked_hotkeys.

…n main The repo ships both unarmed by design (test_contract_block_gate pins it); the deployment arms them. This PR now syncs only the worker-image pins. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BMT4D7eZUKUF2gocYLVFmj

…chain.toml The v2b-69630f92 vote locked in at 9486000 (85.9% of stake) and applied at the era start 9493200. Typing a decided block is behaviour-identical and frees its segment of the 128-byte on-chain readiness note (the same step taken for forfeit / margin-v2 on 2026-11-01). Without it, a validator whose rolling-era-king vote is still signalled (resolved from the chain rather than typed) overflows the note once it runs code that refuses to drop the v2b segment, and crash-loops at start (observed 2026-11-13 00:13 UTC on an external validator). Verified against that validator's note shape and ours; the typed-notice rule passes for a fresh node and a tally-locked node (the switch era has started).

The shipped chain.toml now types image_decoupled_from_block = 9493200, an era start on the live 900 grid; the two tests that build a 7200/3600 seam from the shipped file would judge it on that grid instead.

…te open Mirrors how the typed forfeit / margin-v2 blocks are handled (conftest and the per-file fixtures reset them to 0): every fixture that exercises the v2b VOTE (image_decoupled_feature lock-ins, note budget, after-pin schedule binding, pre-lock receipts) now resets image_decoupled_from_block to 0. The two tests that pin the shipped file's state assert mainnet typed 9493200 / testnet 0.

The repo file ships rolling and v2 undecided (3600 grid), where 9494100 is not a settlement boundary at all; the quantile-head alignment check needs the fleet's resolved grid, like test_knobs_ship_typed_on_mainnet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BMT4D7eZUKUF2gocYLVFmj

The shipped file now types [v2] image_decoupled_from_block=9493200; a fixture that pushes from_block far out must untype it or the loader's "precedes [v2] from_block" check fires before the one under test.

…as passed (#460) check_calendar_launch trial-loaded the config with v2 armed at the era AFTER the finalized head — correct before the date, wrong after it (the real block is in the past: mainnet 9399600). With #457 typing [v2] image_decoupled_from_block = 9493200, every node that pulled main refused to start: "image_decoupled_from_block=9493200 precedes [v2] from_block=9500400". Past the date (chain time at the finalized head), the first poll's resolve_calendar_launch parses the config at the real block and refuses one that cannot load there; an unreadable head timestamp keeps the trial.
