🧪 Testnet Phase #3 – Progress Recap So Far (1–2 Weeks Before Wrap-Up)

Testnet Phase #3 has been running for a few weeks now.

So far, Phase #3 has moved from initial setup → real testing loops → early product/data-layer alignment. We now have v3 agent surfaces, MVP data management, and inference-quality signals all actively exercised together.

🔹 v3 /delegate + /validate (prep → testing phase)
- Initial rollout + session prep is done.
- We’re now in deeper testing + iteration on real delegation/validation behavior, routing consistency, consensus handling, and remaining logic gaps.

🔹 MVP Data Management (now fully in place)
Privacy Feature 1.0 + Offchain Storage v3 are working end-to-end in MVP form: session/task encryption, dedicated/ephemeral flows, deferred write, and router → miner → dashboard integration.

🔹 Dashboard / UI / UX (closing the gap)
Quality stats, privacy flows, offchain behavior, and task-status improvements are now surfaced in the dashboards - including the quality stats rank table, Node Perf quality columns, and clearer completed / processing / stale task views.

🔹 Inference Quality (SLA #3 live path)
- NodePool + NodePoolUtils now include SLA #3 (user-task quality stats) on top of node-level + network-task signals.
- The new quality path is deployed on testnet0 + testnet1a and is being observed in live selection behavior.

🔹 Inference Quality (oracle + data layer)
- Early E2E Quality Oracle + data model is working in MVP form.
- Real task probes now flow into stored quality stats, ranking views, and selection/reward-oriented surfaces.

🔹 Privacy Feature 1.0 (ready → testing stage)
- Private inference is now live across the router surfaces and tested across dedicated + ephemeral paths.
- Session-level and task-level encryption flows have both gone through matrix-style testing.

🔹 Offchain Storage v3 (usable MVP path)
Dedicated-node and ephemeral-node offchain storage flows are both working in MVP form, including the router-assisted deferred-write path for ephemeral nodes.

🔹 Bardiel dashboard – v3 adaptation started
- Dashboard iteration is now actively underway to align Bardiel with v3 /delegate + /validate flows.
- We’ve generated larger and heavier test datasets, added API examples, and started refining task cards, result rendering, consensus views, and longer-input UX.

🔹 New models for PyClaw iteration
Added newer models (Gemma 4 + Qwen variants, model IDs 73–77), built images, updated runtime/dashboard support, and enabled selected Gemma 4 models on ephemeral-node runtime for near-term experiments.

🔹 PyClaw (early iteration + alignment)
- Initial iteration is starting around newer Gemma 4 models on dedicated sessions.
- Focus is still on identifying agent/tool-calling gaps on newer open models and preparing for further experimentation.

Phase #3 so far has successfully connected the pieces: agent surfaces (v3) + data management (privacy/offchain) + quality signals (SLA #3).

The remaining stretch is less about adding missing foundations and more about testing, refinement, and tightening how these pieces behave together under real conditions.
