Galatea — real-launch preparation

v.Chronos.Narcissus.0 — legacy v.H.1.21

Going live is a real launch event: the shadow ledger is nuked to a clean slate, the live state can be locked beyond accidental reversal, and every mint carries its test-or-live provenance.

Galatea.0 umbrellas the post-Caduceus launch-prep batch. The shadow→live flip is now a HARD RESET: every Stoicism account balance (pending/current/redeemed), all event/daily/mint-log history, and every per-node counter is wiped so the live economy starts from zero — benchmark stamps and ServerScore are preserved so operators never re-benchmark. Warmup resets with a two-tier grace: nodes established and at-tip at the moment of go-live need only 3 h of fresh at-tip time, while new and dead nodes start the full 24 h from zero. Once the launch is confirmed real, an Ancient admin locks the live state — revert-to-shadow is refused while locked, protecting the live ledger from an accidental revert-then-reflip wipe; only an Ancient admin can unlock. Every codex-cronoton fire (including every Stoicism-Minter run) is stamped with the hub's launch state at fire time: TEST before the lock, LIVE after it — all pre-existing fires were backfilled TEST. The batch also carries the ouronet-codex 0.5.x server-custody drop-in at /hub/codex, the Codex Cronotons server-signed scheduled/manual transaction rail at /hub/codex-cronotons with its public mint-transparency view, the shared @stoachain/stoa-core adaptive-gas-limit recalibration (graduated multipliers plus a 1000-unit floor so low-simulation transactions no longer under-buy gas and fail on-chain), and public-surface parity (the logged-out Stoics rich-list shows the same fleet-wide attribution table the Ancient view shows, minus owner emails).

Why “Galatea”

Pygmalion carved an ivory statue so perfect he fell in love with it; Aphrodite answered his prayer and brought the statue to life. Galatea is the name tradition gives her — the crafted artifact that became the real, living thing.

For this release, “Galatea” names the moment the Stoicism economy stops being a rehearsal. The shadow ledger — carefully crafted, tested, calibrated — is the statue. The flip to live, the clean slate, the lock, and the LIVE mint badge are the breath: from that point the numbers are real, the mints are real, and the system is alive.

What changed for the operator

  • Go-live is a hard reset. Flipping scoring from shadow to live nukes the whole Stoicism ledger — every balance, every event/daily/mint-log row, every per-node counter. The live economy starts from zero. Benchmark stamps + ServerScore are preserved. Both the manual flip and the scheduled auto-flip behave this way.
  • Tiered warmup at launch. Nodes that completed shadow warmup AND were at tip within the last 10 minutes get a 3 h head-start; everyone else (new or dead nodes) starts the full 24 h.
  • Live-state lock. After a real launch, an Ancient admin locks the live state from the Stoicism Settings page. While locked, “Revert to shadow” is disabled — which matters, because going back to shadow and live again would nuke the live ledger. Only an Ancient admin can unlock.
  • TEST / LIVE mint provenance.Every fire in a codex-cronoton's history (including the Stoicism Minter) carries a badge: amber TEST for fires recorded before the live lock, green LIVE after it. The public mint-transparency view shows the badge to everyone.
  • Codex drop-in (ouronet-codex 0.5.x). /hub/codex now runs the published drop-in UI under server custody (master-key sealed), incl. the Chainweaver/Ecko BIP32-Ed25519 import + reveal fixes.
  • Codex Cronotons. Server-signed scheduled/manual Stoa transactions (7 schedule modes, atomic claim, Execute-Now ×N batches, server-variable payload resolution incl. the stoicism-mint resolver) with full fire history.
  • Adaptive gas floor (stoa-core 4.3.6). Graduated multipliers + a hard 1000-unit minimum — low-simulation transactions (like the empty mint) no longer under-buy gas and fail on-chain.
  • Public-surface parity. The logged-out Stoics page renders the same fleet-wide attribution table the Ancient view shows (Verified / Nodes / balances + totals), minus owner emails; the public hub landing links the Codex Cronotons list.

Operator notes

  • Launch-day order matters. Lock the live state FIRST, then fire the Minter — everything from the lock onward records LIVE; everything before stays TEST.
  • No refresh needed on go-live. The earnings page re-bases itself within ~15 s of the nuke (SSE snapshots); the interpolated counter snaps to zero on the next snapshot.
  • Deploy safety. The deploy script now refuses to reload the worker while a long job (seed-refresh / backup) is mid-flight — it warns instead of silently killing the transfer.
