Ranges drift once nothing moves them: a caret that has not been rewritten
since it was written pins whatever was current that day, and an exact pin
cannot even take a patch. Both are updated here.
One line per package, so a surface reads the same components, the same
tokens and the same face as every other one.
One family. Font stacks name Zen and fall back to the native faces, tokens
name the role rather than a face, and the packages that used to supply a
face now point at @hanzo/font.
Self-hosted @font-face blocks are removed rather than renamed: rewriting the
family in one would leave a src pointing at a file this repo no longer ships.
@hanzo/font carries the binaries and declares the faces, so the local copies
go with the declaration that used them.
Comments naming a face we no longer use are deleted, not reworded.
TestCorpusMatchesGolden caught the change, which is what it is for: 472 values
moved, all of them under /fpc, nothing added, removed or restructured. The vote
message, the certificate, the ladder, the count thresholds and the committee are
byte-identical, so the encoding change reached exactly the plane it was meant to
and no other.
Two of the moved values are the reason this is a protocol change and not a
refactor: /fpc/thresholds[1]/alpha went from 3 to 4. A round at that seed and
phase now accepts on one more vote. Freezing the encoding before anything runs
it is the whole point of doing this now.
standard.mdx carried the old preimage, and a standard that is quietly wrong is
worse than none. It now shows the domain and the lengths, and says what they
buy: without them the boundary between the chain id and the parent slides, and a
chain that names itself chain_id‖H derives what chain_id derives at parent H —
which trades away the input nobody can know before the previous epoch finalizes,
the input the whole construction exists to bind.

consensus.lux.network described an engine that is not in this repository.
It documented `engine/quasar` and a `qzmq/` transport, neither of which
exists; a `CertBundle` of two opaque blobs; a `quasar.NewQuasar(cfg, nodeID)`
constructor with no referent; and a quick start calling `consensus.NewID`,
which is not a function. Two performance tables gave mainnet finality as
9.63s on one page and under a second on the other. A reader who followed any
of it would not have compiled.
Meanwhile the thing that actually decides finality had no page at all. The
ladder is five distinct authorization rungs and the whole point of the type
is that they are never collapsed — a block below Quasar may drive local
execution and may never be exported — and none of that was written down
where anyone would look for it.
standard.mdx is the rule: the ladder and what each rung authorizes, the
226-byte signed message field by field, why the outer proposervm ids are
absent from it, the certificate wire form, both stake floors with their
values at the top of the u64 range, the count thresholds, and the θ
derivation whose last bit is load-bearing because α is a ceiling. Every
number is read out of conformance/corpus.json or the definition the corpus
is projected from, so a rule change moves the page's source rather than
leaving it quietly wrong.
conformance.mdx is the record: which harness holds which implementation, what
each one currently reports, and the two divergences that motivated the corpus
— the C++ 70-byte v1 message against Go's 226-byte v2, and the Rust mixer
that accepted on eleven votes where Go requires fifteen. It reports the open
one honestly: lux-rs/conformance is 11 of 12, failing the ZAP handshake frame
on a version byte. A conformance page that only lists green is a brochure.
The quick start now compiles and prints what it claims. quasar.mdx describes
the two witnesses for one relation, the legs and the posture table as
protocol/quasar defines them.

A docs-site template repeated across these repos named three different faces in
one place: a binding called `inter` or `geist`, constructed from next/font/google
so it actually held Inter, publishing a custom property called
`--font-geist-sans` that @hanzo/font does not set. Whichever of the three a
reader trusted, two of them were wrong.
They take Zen and ZenMono from @hanzo/font — bindings named `sans` and `mono`
for the role they fill, setting --font-zen-sans and --font-zen-mono, which is
what the package publishes.
Two failures in the docs workflow, one behind the other.
Install died on
ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE … specifiers in the lockfile don't match
specifiers in package.json:
* 1 dependencies were removed: @hanzo/docs-cli@^1.2.5
@hanzo/docs-cli was dropped from docs/package.json and the lockfile was not
regenerated, so `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` refused. Regenerated. It still
appears in the lockfile three times as a TRANSITIVE dependency, which is correct
and not the thing that was stale.
With install fixed, the build failed on content:
./content/docs/flare.mdx
113:77: Unexpected character `=` (U+003D) before name, expected a character
that can start a name, such as a letter, `$`, or `_`
`total <= n` in a table cell — MDX reads `<` as the start of a JSX tag and `=`
cannot begin a tag name. Both bare comparisons in that file are now in backticks,
which is what the surrounding cells already do for identifiers and is the right
markup for a math expression regardless.
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile exit 0 (was ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE)
pnpm build exit 0 (was 1)

Removes Corona references from docs, Rust SDK type names, Python
SDK signature scheme tags, and the audit ledger. Corona is the
canonical name for the R-LWE threshold primitive in the Quasar
consensus stack alongside Pulsar (Module-LWE) and Magnetar (hash).
Rust changes: rename corona_sig → corona_sig, corona_pubkey →
corona_pubkey, collect_corona_signatures → collect_corona_signatures.
Python changes: rename SIG_CORONA → SIG_CORONA.
Detailed invention disclosures are sensitive pre-filing material. Moved to
lux-private/patents to preserve international filing rights (EU/JP/KR/CN
absolute-novelty rule). Cross-ref: github.com/lux-private/patents/bundles/
Verified every protocol/*.go against its doc.go. Fixed all inaccuracies:
- README.md: rewrote to match actual code; removed bogus SDK claims
(C/Rust/C++ stubs presented as "100% test parity"), impossible
benchmark numbers (0.33ns Quasar Phase I = sub-clock-cycle), stale
version badge (v1.22.0 vs actual v1.22.84), wrong protocol
descriptions (nebula as "state sync", nova as "parallel chain"),
missing protocols (ray, field not listed)
- doc.go: stripped AI fiction (QZMQ, shared hallucinations, AI-powered
validation, Dilithium/Kyber naming), replaced with accurate Quasar
family description
- LLM.md: stripped 40KB of old session logs down to essential reference;
accurate protocol table, honest SDK status, measured benchmarks only
- docs/index.mdx: fixed nebula/nova labels, removed impossible benchmark
- protocol/nebula/doc.go: fixed "consensus utils" typo
Migrate from deprecated @hanzo/mdx + @hanzo/ui to the new
@hanzo/docs (16.4.1), @hanzo/docs-mdx (14.2.8), and
@hanzo/docs-ui (16.5.3) package stack. Update all import paths
to use correct subpath exports and switch CLI from hanzo-mdx
to docs-mdx.
Consolidate to single @hanzo/docs package with subpath exports:
- @hanzo/docs/core/* for core functionality
- @hanzo/docs/ui/* for UI components
- @hanzo/docs/mdx/* for MDX processing
Uses hanzo-docs CLI instead of fumadocs-mdx for build commands.
Use Hanzo's own documentation framework fork for better integration
with existing @hanzo/ui components and consistent theming.
- Replace fumadocs-core with @hanzo/docs-core
- Replace fumadocs-ui with @hanzo/docs-ui
- Replace fumadocs-mdx with @hanzo/docs-mdx

BREAKING CHANGE: Package paths have been reorganized for clarity
## Major Changes
### Package Structure
- Collapsed engine/core → engine (removed unnecessary nesting)
- Moved core/types → types (top-level types package)
- Added root facade for single-import experience
- Removed redundant factory.go
### SDK Improvements
All SDKs now provide single-import interfaces:
- Go: import "github.com/luxfi/consensus"
- Python: import lux_consensus as consensus
- Rust: use lux_consensus::*
### Documentation
- Added comprehensive introduction and architecture docs
- Created AI/ML integration guide for researchers
- Added research section with papers and experiments
- Improved sidebar organization and discoverability
### Benefits
- Shallow, obvious import paths
- One responsibility per package
- DRY, composable, orthogonal design
- Idiomatic patterns for each language
- Consistent API across all SDKs
This refactor provides a clean, intuitive developer experience where
one import is enough and things work one way only.
BUG FOUND: User caught that Rust benchmarks were reporting impossible 6.6B votes/sec
ROOT CAUSE:
- Benchmark used `(0..size as u8)` which caps at 255 iterations
- When size=10000, only processed 255 votes but claimed 10,000
- Throughput calculation: 10,000 / 1.5μs = 6.6B votes/sec (FAKE!)
THE FIX:
- Changed to `(0..size)` with `(i % 256) as u8` for voter IDs
- Now actually processes all 10,000 votes
REAL CORRECTED NUMBERS:
- Single vote: 609ns (was 639ns)
- Single block: 601ns (was 611ns)
- Batch 1K votes: 51μs @ 20M/sec (was 13μs @ 78M/sec - FAKE)
- Batch 10K votes: 606μs @ 16.5M/sec (was 1.5μs @ 6.6B/sec - FAKE!)
Performance "regressed" 99.7% when we fixed the bug:
- Before (fake): 6.6 billion votes/sec
- After (real): 16.5 million votes/sec
Rust is still fastest SDK (16.5M vs Python 1.6M, C 21K, Go 8.5K),
but not the ridiculous "6.6 billion" we falsely claimed.
Credit: User caught the impossible numbers and demanded investigation.
- Added missing SDK pages to staticPages array: python, rust, cpp, mlx
- Fixed MDX parsing errors in cpp.mdx and rust.mdx:
* Wrapped function signatures containing HTML-like syntax in backticks
* Fixed <uint16_t>, <const>, Result<()> being interpreted as HTML tags
- All SDK pages now generate correctly and are accessible
- Verified mlx.html, python.html, rust.html, cpp.html, go.html, c.html all build
Fixes: /docs/sdk/mlx returning 404
Removed 'Benchmark History' section per user feedback as it was incomplete.
