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 -

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
