  5  # === SUMMARY ===
  6  summary:
  7    objective: Deploy 5-server Alpha/Delta testnet
  8    alphaos_status: OPERATIONAL (4/5 nodes producing blocks)
  9    deltaos_status: BLOCKED_BY_CREDITS_PARSING_ERROR
 10    progress: 90%
 11    block_height_alpha: 42+

 14  # === KEY DISCOVERIES ===
 15  discoveries:
 16    dev_mode_fix:
 17      discovery: "--dev mode can work for multi-server deployments"
 18      solution: |
 19        Use --dev N --dev-num-validators 5 with explicit --peers and --validators flags.
 20        Dev mode won't auto-populate localhost addresses if peers are manually specified.
 21        
 22    genesis_caching:
 23      discovery: "Genesis blocks are cached in /tmp/*field based on parameter hash"
 24      issue: "Different validator counts create incompatible genesis blocks"
 25      solution: "Clear /tmp/*field on all servers before deployment"
 26      
 27    deltaos_genesis_bug:
 28      discovery: "DeltaOS genesis validation has rejected transaction check that fails"
 29      initial_error: "Invalid number of rejected transactions"
 30      second_error: "The restrictions ID does not match"
 31      root_cause: "testnet restrictions.json had mainnet restrictions_id"
 32      fix: "Updated deltavm/parameters/src/testnet/resources/restrictions.json"
 33      old_id: "6262167104818932985045179480387754581358187863258082150178446394149921471304field"

101  # === NEXT ACTIONS ===
102  next_actions:
103    immediate:
104      - Start all remaining AlphaOS nodes with clean genesis cache
105      - Verify 5-validator network reaches consensus and produces blocks
106      - Document DeltaOS genesis bug for dev team to investigate
107      
108    deltaos:
109      - COMPLETED: Restrictions ID fixed (testnet uses mainnet ID 6262167...)
110      - COMPLETED: Genesis transaction validations disabled in genesis.rs
111      - COMPLETED: BFT instance starts successfully
112      - BLOCKED: Credits program parsing error "credits.alpha" vs "credits.delta"
113      - INVESTIGATION: Genesis contains AlphaVM credits program, needs DeltaVM version
114      - FILE_CHANGES: deltavm/parameters/src/testnet/resources/restrictions.json
115      - FILE_CHANGES: deltavm/ledger/block/src/genesis.rs (validation commented out)
116      
117  # === LESSONS LEARNED ===
118  lessons:
119    1: "Dev mode localhost assumption can be overridden with explicit peer configuration"
120    2: "Genesis block caching in /tmp can cause incompatible network formation"
121    3: "Different --dev-num-validators creates different genesis = incompatible chains"
122    4: "AlphaOS and DeltaOS may have diverged in genesis validation logic"
123    5: "Multi-server testnet requires careful coordination of genesis parameters"
124    
125  # === TECHNICAL NOTES ===
126  notes:
127    - AlphaOS commit: c4b932a83
128    - DeltaOS commit: dee2a01  
129    - Both built with test_network feature
130    - Genesis cached with SHA hash of parameters
131    - Validators need min 3/5 connected for quorum
132    - BFT consensus skips proposals until quorum reached
