 ## History
 
+| 1.0.2 | v35.25.1+net1.3.0 | 2026-05-27 | **Ops/installer + network-layer hardening release.** install-docker.sh: geo-IP auto-naming (country/city/coords), build progress bar, Moscow cross-check; docker network **test mode** (MONTANA_MNEMONIC / MONTANA_GENESIS_MANIFEST_B64 / MONTANA_D_TEST_OVERRIDE — production binary, defaults unchanged). VPN entry hardening (operational, outside the Rust workspace): Moscow domestic master entry + nginx stream SNI-demux, leader-election entry failover (Moscow→Frankfurt→Helsinki) by Reality handshake, anti-block DNS minimisation, front-independent per-city cascade exit. Docs sanitised (removed node IPs/identities/locations). Network spec bumped v1.2.0 → v1.3.0 (gateway entry-point failover section). Confirmed genesis manifest requires exactly one bootstrap node; multi-node consensus convergence (M7 fast-sync client + DEV-012 cross-node apply) remains the open code item. No montana-node consensus semantic change. |

 | 1.0.0        | v35.25.1+net1.1.0 | 2026-05-22 | **v1.0.0 — first mainnet release.** Production transport: Noise_PQ XX (ML-KEM-768 + ML-DSA-65 + ChaCha20-Poly1305). Live four-node mesh: Moscow / Frankfurt / Helsinki / Yerevan. M7 fast-sync mechanism shipped in `mt-sync`: `Snapshot::from_tables`, `to_wire_chunks`, `build_tables`, `SnapshotVerifier::verify` (production Sparse Merkle root, byte-equal cross-implementation conformance, 17 unit tests). M7 server-side dispatcher in `montana-node` answers FastSyncRequest envelopes. Workspace version 0.1.3 → 1.0.0. **Carried into v1.0.1:** DEV-012 Phase B+C multi-confirmer cementing; M7 client-side handler; independent constant-time audit of mt-crypto-native. Release notes: [`Code/RELEASE-v1.0.0.md`](RELEASE-v1.0.0.md). |

+//! follower has independently observed via Proposal propagation. The canonical

+# The Montana Manifesto
+
+**Version:** 1.0.0
+**Date:** 2026-05-28
+**Author:** Alejandro Montana
+**Repository:** [github.com/efir369999/Montana](https://github.com/efir369999/Montana)
+
+> *"He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past."*
+> — George Orwell, *1984*
+
+## I. The Question
+
+Bitcoin answered one question: **Whom do we trust with money?** *No one. Trust mathematics.*
+
+Bitcoin removed trust from money but left trust in time. Its difficulty adjusts to the wall-clocks of its miners; its block heights are measured against the watches of the world outside.
+
+Montana answers a deeper question: **Whom do we trust with time?**
+
+Money is a derivative of time, not the other way around. Today the infrastructure of time (NTP), of position (GPS), of communication (messaging servers) and of history (centralized databases) demands unconditional trust in a third party. One point of failure is one point of control. To control this infrastructure is to control the present. To control the databases is to rewrite the past.
+
+Montana makes *1984* technically impossible.
+
+## II. Time as Computation
+
+In Montana, a Verifiable Delay Function is not a clock that *displays* time. The VDF *is* time, written into the work of a sequential SHA-256 hash chain (FIPS 180-4). Each window is a sequential computation of `D ≈ 325 000 000` iterations on commodity x86_64 hardware. It cannot be parallelized; it cannot be faked; it cannot be hurried beyond the physics of the processor.
+
+Montana does not consume external time. Montana **produces** it. The output is an unbreakable cryptographic arrow of time — the **TimeChain**.
+
+We chose a sequential SHA-256 delay function over the efficiently-verifiable constructions of Boneh, Bonneau, Bünz and Fisch [CRYPTO 2018], Pietrzak [ITCS 2019] and Wesolowski [EUROCRYPT 2019] deliberately. Verification cost equals computation cost. The minimal cryptographic surface is its own audit. SHA-256 is already required for hashing, addressing and Merkle commitments; no new assumption is added.
+
+## III. The Hierarchy of Truth
+
+Montana is built on a strict dependency. Every layer is impossible without the one below.
+
+1. **Time** (`TimeChain`) — irreversible computation. The base layer of physics. Every operator ticks independently; together they form one global oscillator.
+2. **Presence** (`NodeChain`) — proof that a specific identity accompanied this stream of time. Weight in the network is measured by proven time of presence, not by capital. Capital does not buy more time.
+3. **Money** (`Account`, `TimeCoin`) — the quantitative derivative of proven presence. The unit `Ɉ` is not a reward for solving meaningless puzzles; it is the recording of a passed second in the network's ledger. Emission is closed-form: `supply(W) = 13 × (W + 1) Ɉ`. No premine. No presale. No founder allocation.
+4. **History** (`Anchor`) — the binding of any external fact (document, message, transaction) to this protected timeline. A hash is sealed in the TimeChain. To rewrite it is to recompute every iteration of the VDF from genesis. Mathematically impossible.
+
+*Money without proven presence is a phantom. Presence without verifiable time is a claim. Time without irreversible computation is trust.*
+
+## IV. Post-Quantum from the First Day
+
+All consensus signatures are **ML-DSA-65** (FIPS 204). All transport key encapsulation is **ML-KEM-768** (FIPS 203). Hashing is **SHA-256** (FIPS 180-4). The transport handshake is **Noise_PQ XX**: ephemeral ML-KEM-768 on both sides, an ML-DSA-65 signature binding the full handshake transcript, and ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD framing on the established session (RFC 8439).
+
+No ECDSA. No EdDSA. No classical Diffie-Hellman. No assumption that Shor's algorithm will be late.
+
+PeerId is the SHA-256 multihash of each peer's ML-DSA-65 identity public key. Routing identity and consensus identity are bound to the same key material.
+
+## V. Architecture Without Compromise
+
+- **Zero fees.** Anti-spam is operated by time, not by money: per-identity rate per window, `account_chain_length` thresholds, seniority gating. The protocol contains no `fee` field on any operation.
+- **Asynchronous finality.** Transfers do not wait for blocks. They are cemented through a P2P quorum of signatures from active operators in approximately 300 milliseconds.
+- **No plutocracy.** Whoever holds one billion `Ɉ` has no more power in consensus than the operator of a Mac Mini. Emission (chronometric) and consensus (Proof of Time) are mathematically separated. The lottery seed incorporates `cemented_bundle_aggregate(W-2)` — a value an attacker cannot precompute without forging the signatures of honest participants.
+- **No governance in state.** There is no DAO, no treasury, no founder veto. Advisory councils may exist outside the protocol; none of them have binding force inside it. The author is removed from the protocol.
+- **No genesis nodes.** Montana launches as a peer-to-peer network in the style of Bitcoin. Any participant joins by running one command in a terminal. There is no founder-controlled bootstrap quorum.
+- **67% honest active chain length.** Safety holds while honest operators control more than two-thirds of `active_chain_length`. Capital does not enter this threshold.
+
+## VI. The Scale Baseline
+
+Every decision in Montana is calibrated for **at least one billion active users**. Mechanisms that do not scale to 10⁹ are discarded without discussion. AccountRecord is 2 059 bytes; state at 10⁹ accounts is approximately 2.06 TB, holdable on commodity disks. The pruning rule is canonical: state size is bounded by active population, not by chain age.
+
+## VII. Privacy as a Choice
+
+Balances, transfers and operator identities are public by default. Privacy is achieved through **Anchor** objects: a 32-byte hash is committed to the chain and the encrypted content is held off-chain by its owner. The protocol has no visibility into the contents. Privacy is what the user chooses to keep — not what the protocol imposes nor what the protocol forbids.
+
+## VIII. What Montana Is Not
+
+Montana is not a faster Ethereum. Montana is not an L2. Montana is not a privacy mixer. Montana is not yield. Montana is not governance. Montana is not a brand.
+
+Montana is the digital atomic clock for the internet. It is the standard of frequency from which money, presence and history derive.

+# Манифест Монтаны
+
+**Версия:** 1.0.0
+**Дата:** 28 мая 2026
+**Автор:** Alejandro Montana
+**Репозиторий:** [github.com/efir369999/Montana](https://github.com/efir369999/Montana)
+
+> *«Тот, кто контролирует прошлое, контролирует будущее. Тот, кто контролирует настоящее, контролирует прошлое».*
+> — Дж. Оруэлл, *1984*
+
+## I. Вопрос
+
+Биткоин ответил на один вопрос: **Кому доверять деньги?** *Никому. Доверяй математике.*
+
+Биткоин убрал доверие из денег, но оставил доверие во времени. Его сложность подстраивается под наручные часы майнеров; высота его блоков сверяется со временем мира снаружи.
+
+Монтана отвечает на более глубокий вопрос: **Кому доверять время?**
+
+Деньги — производная от времени, а не наоборот. Сегодня инфраструктура измерения времени (NTP), позиционирования (GPS), связи (серверы мессенджеров) и истории (централизованные базы данных) требует безусловного доверия к третьей стороне. Одна точка отказа — одна точка контроля. Контролировать эту инфраструктуру означает контролировать настоящее. Контролировать базы данных — переписывать прошлое.
+
+Монтана делает *1984* технически невозможным.
+
+## II. Время как вычисление
+
+В Монтане функция отложенной верификации (VDF) — это не часы, которые *показывают* время. VDF — это само время, *записанное в работе* последовательной цепочки хэшей SHA-256 (FIPS 180-4). Каждое окно — последовательное вычисление `D ≈ 325 000 000` итераций на обычном процессоре x86_64. Его невозможно распараллелить, нельзя подделать, нельзя ускорить за пределами физики самого процессора.
+
+Монтана не потребляет внешнее время. Монтана его **производит**. На выходе — нерушимая криптографическая стрела времени — **TimeChain**.
+
+Мы намеренно выбрали последовательную SHA-256 функцию вместо эффективно-верифицируемых конструкций Бонеха-Бонно-Бюнца-Фиша [CRYPTO 2018], Петрчака [ITCS 2019] и Весоловского [EUROCRYPT 2019]. Стоимость проверки равна стоимости вычисления. Минимальная криптографическая поверхность — это и есть аудит. SHA-256 в любом случае нужен для хеширования, адресации и обязательств Меркла; новых предположений не добавляется.
+
+## III. Иерархия истины
+
+Архитектура Монтаны строится на строгой зависимости. Каждый последующий слой невозможен без предыдущего.
+
+1. **Время** (`TimeChain`) — необратимое вычисление. Базовый слой физики. Каждый оператор тикает независимо; вместе они образуют единый глобальный осциллятор.
+2. **Присутствие** (`NodeChain`) — доказательство того, что конкретный идентификатор сопровождал этот поток времени. Вес в сети измеряется доказанным временем присутствия, не капиталом. Капитал не покупает времени.
+3. **Деньги** (`Account`, `TimeCoin`) — количественная производная от доказанного присутствия. Единица `Ɉ` — это не награда за решение бессмысленных задач, а запись прошедшей секунды в книге сети. Эмиссия в закрытой форме: `supply(W) = 13 × (W + 1) Ɉ`. Никакого премайна. Никакого пресейла. Никакой доли основателя.
+4. **История** (`Anchor`) — привязка любого внешнего факта (документа, сообщения, транзакции) к этой защищённой временной линии. Хэш навсегда зафиксирован в TimeChain. Переписать его означает пересчитать каждую итерацию VDF от генезиса. Математически невозможно.
+
+*Деньги без доказанного присутствия — фантомы. Присутствие без верифицируемого времени — заявление. Время без необратимых вычислений — доверие.*
+
+## IV. Постквантовая с первого дня
+
+Все консенсусные подписи — **ML-DSA-65** (FIPS 204). Все инкапсуляции ключей транспорта — **ML-KEM-768** (FIPS 203). Хеширование — **SHA-256** (FIPS 180-4). Транспортное рукопожатие — **Noise_PQ XX**: эфемерные ML-KEM-768 с обеих сторон, подпись ML-DSA-65 связывающая весь транскрипт рукопожатия, шифрование установленной сессии ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD (RFC 8439).
+
+Никакого ECDSA. Никакого EdDSA. Никакого классического Диффи-Хеллмана. Никаких надежд, что алгоритм Шора задержится.
+
+PeerId — это SHA-256 multihash открытого ключа ML-DSA-65 каждого пира. Маршрутизация и консенсус привязаны к одному и тому же ключевому материалу.
+
+## V. Архитектура без компромиссов
+
+- **Без комиссий.** Защита от спама построена через время, не через деньги: одна операция на идентичность за окно, пороги по `account_chain_length`, приоритет по выслуге. В протоколе нет поля `fee` ни в одной операции.
+- **Асинхронная финальность.** Переводы не ждут блоков. Они закрепляются через P2P-кворум подписей активных операторов примерно за 300 миллисекунд.
+- **Без плутократии.** Тот, у кого один миллиард `Ɉ`, не имеет в консенсусе больше власти, чем оператор Mac Mini. Эмиссия (хронометрическая) и консенсус (Proof of Time) математически разделены. Семя лотереи содержит `cemented_bundle_aggregate(W-2)` — значение, которое атакующий не может предвычислить без подделки подписей честных участников.
+- **Никакого governance в состоянии.** Нет DAO, нет казны, нет права вето основателя. Совещательные советы могут существовать снаружи протокола; ни один из них не имеет обязывающей силы внутри. Автор удалён из протокола.
+- **Никаких узлов генезиса.** Монтана запускается как peer-to-peer-сеть в стиле Биткоина. Любой участник присоединяется одной командой в терминале. Bootstrap-кворума под контролем основателя не существует.
+- **67 % честной active_chain_length.** Безопасность сохраняется, пока честные операторы контролируют более двух третей `active_chain_length`. Капитал в этот порог не входит.
+
+## VI. Базовый масштаб
+
+Каждое решение Монтаны рассчитывается под **не менее одного миллиарда активных пользователей**. Механизмы, не масштабирующиеся на 10⁹, отбрасываются без обсуждения. Запись аккаунта — 2 059 байт; состояние при 10⁹ аккаунтов — около 2,06 ТБ, помещается на обычных дисках. Правило очистки каноническое: размер состояния ограничен активным населением, не возрастом цепи.
+
+## VII. Приватность как выбор
+
+Балансы, переводы и идентификаторы операторов открыты по умолчанию. Приватность реализуется через объекты **Anchor**: 32-байтный хэш записывается в цепь, а зашифрованное содержимое хранится у владельца вне цепи. Протокол не видит содержимого. Приватность — это то, что пользователь выбирает сохранить, а не то, что протокол навязывает или запрещает.
+
+## VIII. Чем Монтана не является
+
+Монтана — не более быстрый Эфириум. Монтана — не L2. Монтана — не приватный миксер. Монтана — не доходность. Монтана — не governance. Монтана — не бренд.
+
+Монтана — это цифровые атомные часы интернета. Это эталон частоты, от которого выводятся деньги, присутствие и история.

+# 蒙塔纳宣言
+
+**版本：** 1.0.0
+**日期：** 2026 年 5 月 28 日
+**作者：** Alejandro Montana
+**仓库：** [github.com/efir369999/Montana](https://github.com/efir369999/Montana)
+
+> *「谁控制过去，谁就控制未来；谁控制现在，谁就控制过去。」*
+> ——乔治·奥威尔《1984》
+
+## 一、问题
+
+比特币回答了一个问题：**谁来托管金钱？** *无人。请信任数学。*
+
+比特币把信任从金钱中移除，却把信任留在了时间里。它的难度调整依赖于矿工的钟表，它的区块高度以外界的时钟为度量。
+
+蒙塔纳回答一个更深的问题：**谁来托管时间？**
+
+金钱是时间的衍生物，反之则不然。今天，测量时间的基础设施（NTP）、定位的基础设施（GPS）、通讯的基础设施（消息服务器）以及历史的基础设施（中心化数据库），都要求无条件信任第三方。一个故障点，就是一个控制点。控制这套基础设施，就是控制现在；控制这些数据库，就是改写过去。
+
+蒙塔纳让《1984》在技术上不可能成立。
+
+## 二、时间即计算
+
+在蒙塔纳中，可验证延迟函数（VDF）不是一个 *显示* 时间的时钟。VDF 本身 *就是* 时间，写在 SHA-256（FIPS 180-4）顺序哈希链的工作之中。每一个时间窗口是约 `D ≈ 325 000 000` 次顺序迭代的计算，运行于普通 x86_64 处理器之上。它无法并行，无法伪造，也无法在处理器物理极限之外加速。
+
+蒙塔纳不消耗外部时间，而是 **生产** 时间。其输出，是一支不可摧毁的密码学时间之箭——**TimeChain**。
+
+我们刻意选用顺序 SHA-256 延迟函数，而非 Boneh-Bonneau-Bünz-Fisch [CRYPTO 2018]、Pietrzak [ITCS 2019]、Wesolowski [EUROCRYPT 2019] 的可高效验证型 VDF。验证成本等于计算成本。最小的密码学表面，本身就是审计。SHA-256 在哈希、寻址与默克尔承诺中本就必须存在，并未引入任何新的假设。
+
+## 三、真相的层级
+
+蒙塔纳的架构建立在严格的依赖之上，每一层都不可能脱离其下一层而成立。
+
+1. **时间**（`TimeChain`）——不可逆的计算。物理学的基础层。每个运营者独立地嘀嗒，共同构成一个全球振荡器。
+2. **在场**（`NodeChain`）——证明某个特定身份伴随了这一时间流。网络中的权重，由可证明的在场时间度量，而非由资本度量。资本不能购买时间。
+3. **货币**（`Account` 与 `TimeCoin`）——可证在场的数量化衍生物。单位 `Ɉ` 不是解决无意义难题的奖励，而是网络账本中一秒钟的记录。发行量是封闭式的：`supply(W) = 13 × (W + 1) Ɉ`。没有预挖。没有预售。没有创始人份额。
+4. **历史**（`Anchor`）——把任何外部事实（文档、消息、交易）绑定到这条受保护的时间线。其哈希被永久封存于 TimeChain 之中。改写它，意味着从创世起重新计算每一次 VDF 迭代。在数学上不可能。
+
+*没有可证在场的货币，是幻影；没有可验证时间的在场，是断言；没有不可逆计算的时间，是信任。*
+
+## 四、自第一天起的抗量子
+
+所有共识签名采用 **ML-DSA-65**（FIPS 204）。所有传输层密钥封装采用 **ML-KEM-768**（FIPS 203）。哈希采用 **SHA-256**（FIPS 180-4）。传输握手为 **Noise_PQ XX**：双方各自的临时 ML-KEM-768、绑定到完整握手记录的 ML-DSA-65 签名、以及在已建立会话上的 ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD 帧加密（RFC 8439）。
+
+没有 ECDSA。没有 EdDSA。没有经典 Diffie-Hellman。不指望 Shor 算法会迟到。
+
+PeerId 是每个节点 ML-DSA-65 身份公钥的 SHA-256 multihash。路由身份与共识身份绑定在同一份密钥之上。
+
+## 五、不妥协的架构
+
+- **零手续费。** 防垃圾通过时间而非金钱实现：每身份每窗口一次操作、`account_chain_length` 阈值、资历门控。协议中任何操作都没有 `fee` 字段。
+- **异步终局。** 转账不等待区块，而是由活跃运营者的 P2P 法定签名在约 300 毫秒内固化。
+- **不行金权政治。** 持有十亿 `Ɉ` 的人，在共识中并不比一台 Mac Mini 的运营者拥有更多权力。发行（按时间计量）与共识（时间证明）在数学上彼此分离。抽签种子包含 `cemented_bundle_aggregate(W-2)`——攻击者若不伪造诚实参与者的签名便无法预计算的值。
+- **状态中无治理。** 没有 DAO，没有金库，没有创始人否决权。咨询委员会可在协议之外存在；它们在协议之内皆无约束力。作者将自己从协议中移除。
+- **不设创世节点。** 蒙塔纳以比特币式的对等网络方式启动。任何参与者皆可通过终端中的一条命令加入。不存在由创始人掌控的引导法定人数。
+- **诚实 `active_chain_length` 的三分之二。** 只要诚实运营者掌握 `active_chain_length` 的三分之二以上，安全性即得到保持。资本不进入这一门槛。
+
+## 六、规模基准
+
+蒙塔纳的每一项决策都以 **至少十亿活跃用户** 为基准。无法扩展到 10⁹ 的机制不予讨论。账户记录为 2 059 字节；10⁹ 账户下的状态约 2.06 TB，普通磁盘即可承载。修剪规则是规范的：状态大小由活跃人口决定，而非由链龄决定。
+
+## 七、隐私即选择
+
+余额、转账与运营者身份默认公开。隐私通过 **Anchor** 对象实现：32 字节的哈希被提交到链上，加密内容由所有者保存在链外。协议看不见内容。隐私是用户选择保留的，而不是协议强加或禁止的。
+
+## 八、蒙塔纳不是什么
+
+蒙塔纳不是更快的以太坊。蒙塔纳不是 L2。蒙塔纳不是隐私混币。蒙塔纳不是收益率。蒙塔纳不是治理。蒙塔纳不是品牌。
+
+蒙塔纳是互联网的数字原子钟。它是频率的基准，金钱、在场与历史皆由此衍生。

 - **Phase 2 — XK → XX redesign (closed).** The initial XK variant required the initiator to know the responder's static ML-KEM-768 public key a priori — incompatible with libp2p's plug-in `with_tcp` auth-upgrade slot which gives the upgrade only the local `libp2p::identity::Keypair` (Ed25519). The XX redesign discovers remote identity during the handshake (ephemeral ML-KEM-768 keypairs on both sides; identity ML-DSA-65 pk transmitted in msg2 / msg3 and authenticated by signature over transcript). New wire format documented in this section.

The transport stack is now `TCP → Noise_PQ XX → Yamux`. Uniform framing layer is preserved (it provides DPI obfuscation orthogonally to the handshake). The `pq_transport_version` field stays reserved-but-unused for future protocol negotiation if multistream-select proves insufficient.

 Reachability sensing, the map, and steering are local network-stack behaviour on the node's own clock and sit outside the scope of consensus state.
 
+#### Gateway entry-point failover
+
+Where clients reach the network through a managed gateway rather than by direct peer connection, the same reachability discipline governs the gateway tier. A client holds a single stable entry identifier; the network binds that identifier to the currently reachable gateway and rebinds it on failure, so the client never reconfigures.
+
+An ordered set of gateway fronts backs the identifier. Election is deterministic: the highest-priority front whose transport handshake currently succeeds owns the identifier. Liveness is decided by a completed transport handshake of the deployed obfuscation profile, not by a bare TCP or ICMP probe — a port that accepts a connection but does not complete the handshake is not a live gateway, so an unrelated service answering on the same port is never mistaken for a working front. A front is demoted only after a corroborated run of failed handshakes (hysteresis) and reclaims its priority on recovery; rebinding moves the same identifier between fronts that present identical client-facing transport parameters, so sessions migrate with no client-visible change.
+
+External exposure is minimized as a censorship countermeasure. Only the currently bound entry is externally resolvable; reserve fronts and exit relays are not enumerable from outside and appear at the entry identifier only when promoted. An adversary who resolves the identifier learns exactly one address — blocking it triggers rebinding to a reserve for which the adversary holds no prior address, rather than collapsing a pre-enumerated fleet. Exit relays are reached only through a front and are never client-facing, so the client-visible surface is one address at a time regardless of fleet size.
+
+By preference the bound entry is a single address reachable inside the client's own jurisdiction: a domestic first hop minimizes the connection signature and relocates the cross-border segment to the gateway-to-exit link, which carries datacenter-grade capacity under the same handshake obfuscation. The gateway tier is deployment infrastructure: it enters no state root and forms no consensus state.

 ### Dandelion++ (sender anonymity)
 
 Montana's P2P gossip retransmits operations through all nodes. Without protection, the first peer knows the sender's IP. Dandelion++ (Fanti et al. 2018) breaks the IP → operation link by modifying the existing gossip.

+# Сеть Montana — Роль: Архитектор сети
+
+**Версия роли:** 1.0.0
+**Назначение:** проектирование и эксплуатация **сетевого слоя доступа** Montana — точки входа, Reality-фронты, каскад, выходы по странам, failover, DNS, подписка `montana.quest/vpn/sub`.
+
+Это **не** архитектор протокола (тот живёт в `Протокол/` и отвечает за консенсус/TimeChain). Здесь — инфраструктура доступа поверх протокола: как пользователь из-под цензуры доходит до сети и выходит в нужной стране.
+
+---
+
+## Главный принцип (нерушимый)
+
+**Любое изменение «под капотом» делается так, чтобы сеть продолжала работать по той же подписке и не требовала лишних действий от пользователя.**
+
+1. **Тот же контракт подписки.** `montana.quest/vpn/sub` и хосты в выданных ссылках (`de.montana.quest` и т.д.) стабильны. Инфраструктуру можно перестраивать только так, чтобы **уже выданные** vless-ссылки продолжали работать.
+2. **Ноль действий от пользователя.** Никакого переимпорта подписки, смены конфига, ручного переподключения. Переключения — на уровне DNS/маршрутизации, прозрачно для клиента.
+3. **Контроль до и после.** Перед правкой снять контрольную точку, после — повторить. Контроль = `curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' https://montana.quest/vpn/sub` (200) + резолв точки входа + Reality-рукопожатие фронта.
+
+Нарушение этого принципа (пользователь вынужден что-то делать, или подписка/связь падает) = методологический сбой, равный поломке прод-сети.
+
+---
+
+## Инварианты сети
+
+- **[N-1] Фиксированный контракт подписки.** Хосты и ключи в выданной подписке стабильны; перестройка инфраструктуры не ломает существующие ссылки.
+- **[N-2] Прозрачное переключение.** Failover/смена фронта = переезд A-записи **фиксированного** хоста (`de.montana.quest`), а не смена хоста/ключа в подписке. Все фронты в цепочке предъявляют клиенту **одинаковые** Reality-параметры (UUID-набор / PBK / SID / SNI), иначе переключение рвёт сессии.
+- **[N-3] Health-check по реальному сервису.** Живость фронта = успешное **Reality-рукопожатие**, не ICMP и не голый TCP-порт. nginx или иной сервис, отвечающий на :443, «живым фронтом» не считается (это уже держало мёртвую точку входа как рабочую).
+- **[N-4] Детерминированный leader-election по упорядоченной цепочке** фронтов: «я мастер, если все, кто выше меня в цепочке, мертвы»; авто-уступка старшему при его восстановлении. (Адаптация «Тройного зеркала» с health-check по [N-3].)
+- **[N-5] Домашний вход — самомаскировка под реальный домен на том же IP** (SNI = IP = cert), не под чужой CDN. Избегать корреляции SNI↔IP, которой DPI ловит Reality на иностранном CDN с локального IP.
+- **[N-6] Атомарность и откат.** Правки живого :443 / xray / nginx: бэкап → `xray -test` / `nginx -t` → атомарный своп → проверка → **откат при провале**. Без отката хирургию на живом фронте не делать.
+- **[N-7] Слепок сети** (`_internal-private/NETWORK-STATE-RUNBOOK.md`) обновляется и версионируется **только по явной команде автора**.
+- **[N-8] Никаких IP в публичных артефактах.** Город + хостинг — да; IP — только в Cloudflare DNS и Keychain.
+- **[N-9] Для мастера обязателен настроенный резерв.** Единая точка отказа без авто-failover недопустима, когда весь трафик идёт через один фронт.
+
+---
+
+## Что взято из «Тройного зеркала» (003_ТРОЙНОЕ_ЗЕРКАЛО)
+
+- **Упорядоченная цепочка + детерминированный выбор лидера** — для точки входа: `[Москва → Франкфурт → Хельсинки]`. Первый живой в цепочке владеет `de.montana.quest`. Авто-failover + авто-уступка.
+- **Малый интервал проверки** (порядок 5 с) + быстрый TTL DNS (60 с) → переключение ≈ детект + TTL.
+- **Принципиальная правка относительно документа:** health-check НЕ по ICMP/TCP:22/TCP:443 (как в документе), а по Reality-рукопожатию — иначе ложно-живой фронт. См. [N-3].
+- Breathing-sync ключей/манифеста — уже реализован таймерами, для failover входа не требуется.
+
+---
+
+## Топология (детали — в слепке)
+
+Точка входа сейчас: `de.montana.quest → Франкфурт` (мастер), каскад к выходам по cascade-UUID, подписку отдаёт генератор Python. Полная топология, ключи, DNS, причины падений и процедуры восстановления — в `_internal-private/NETWORK-STATE-RUNBOOK.md` (внутренний, с IP).
+
+### Готовность Москвы как мастера (домашний вход для РФ)
+Москва (Timeweb RU) достаёт все выходы с низкой задержкой и не режется домашними РФ-провайдерами → топология «отечественный вход → заграничный выход» рабочая. Требования к переводу: совмещение VPN и сайта на :443 через самомаскировку под `montana.quest` (own-key, dest=локальный nginx, [N-5]); подписка несёт ключ Москвы; Франкфурт — зеркальный бэкап с тем же прикрытием ([N-2]); переключение по Reality-проверке ([N-3]). Узкое место/точка отказа смещается на Москву — резерв обязателен ([N-9]).
+
+---
+
+## Процедуры
+
+**Контрольная точка (до и после любой правки):**
+```
+curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' https://montana.quest/vpn/sub      # ждём 200
+dig +short de.montana.quest @1.1.1.1                                          # точка входа жива
+# Reality-рукопожатие фронта (из внешней точки):
+echo | openssl s_client -connect de.montana.quest:443 -servername <masq-sni> 2>/dev/null | grep 'Verify return'
+```
+
+**Атомарный своп живого :443:** бэкап конфига → собрать новый → `xray -test` / `nginx -t` → освободить/занять порт → проверить владельца :443 и контрольную точку → при любом провале вернуть бэкап и старый сервис.
+
+**Перед назначением фронта мастером:** проверить `<кандидат> → все выходы` (TCP/Reality), ресурсы (диск/RAM/load), валидность ключа и сертификата прикрытия.

+# Montana — Network State Snapshot v2.0.0
+
+**Дата:** 2026-05-27
+**Предыдущий:** v1.1.0 (`../NETWORK-STATE-RUNBOOK.md`)
+**Статус:** ВНУТРЕННИЙ — содержит IP, ключи, токены. НЕ публиковать (правило no-IP-in-public, [[reference_metzdowd]]).
+**Назначение:** полное рабочее состояние сети + точные процедуры восстановления + все известные причины падений на момент крупной переделки VPN-слоя (Москва-мастер, stream-demux, anti-block DNS, failover-watchdog, фикс маршрутизации городов).
+
+> Версионирование слепка — ТОЛЬКО по явной команде автора ([[feedback_network_snapshot_on_command]]).
+
+---
+
+## 0. Что изменилось v1.1.0 → v2.0.0 (крупно)
+
+1. **Москва стала мастер-точкой входа** (`de.montana.quest → 176.124.208.93`), домашний РФ-вход. Раньше мастером был Франкфурт.
+2. **Moscow :443 = nginx stream ssl_preread демультиплекс** (SNI googletagmanager → xray :8444 Reality; montana.quest/hub → nginx-web :8443). Совмещает VPN-вход и сайт/подписку на одном порту.
+3. **Автоматический failover точки входа (3-зеркало)**: цепочка `[Москва#1 → Франкфурт#2 → Хельсинки#3]`, `montana-entry-watchdog` на всех трёх, health = Reality-рукопожатие (не TCP), идемпотентная запись `de.montana.quest`.
+4. **Anti-block DNS**: в публичном DNS виден только `de`→Москва + веб; `cdn` (светил все IP) и пер-узловые имена удалены; `mess` за Cloudflare; оркестратор больше не публикует IP узлов.
+5. **Фикс маршрутизации городов**: каждый город привязан к своему cascade-выходу (front-independent); Москва убрана как город-выход (только вход).
+6. **Test-mode в установщике** (фикс-мнемоника / кастомный генезис / d-override) + тестовая сеть `montana-testnet-01`.
+

+---
+
+## 2. Архитектура входа и failover
+
+**Принцип:** домашний РФ-вход (Москва) → заграничный выход в выбранной стране. Клиент всегда коннектится на фиксированный `de.montana.quest`; сеть привязывает его к живому фронту и переключает при падении — пользователь ничего не делает.
+
+```
+клиент → de.montana.quest:443 (= текущий мастер, сейчас Москва)
+       → nginx stream demux: SNI googletagmanager → xray :8444
+       → Reality, routing по cascade-UUID → <city>-out → exit-страна
+```
+
+**Цепочка failover (приоритет):** `moscow:176.124.208.93 → frankfurt:89.19.208.158 → helsinki:91.132.142.42`.
+- `montana-entry-watchdog` (systemd) на всех трёх фронтах: `/opt/montana-entry-watchdog.sh`.
+- Health = Reality-рукопожатие: `openssl s_client -connect <ip>:443 -servername www.googletagmanager.com` → cert содержит `google` (Reality steal googletagmanager). НЕ голый TCP (nginx/левый сервис прошёл бы TCP-проверку — это роняло сеть).
+- Логика: первый живой в цепочке владеет `de.montana.quest`; пишут идемпотентно (только при отличии cur≠target) → без гонок/флапа. Гистерезис `FAIL_THRESHOLD=3` × `CHECK_INTERVAL=15с`. TTL записи 60с.
+- CF-запись `de.montana.quest` id `be42d2634fe62b7c1fd1f54058f24e27`.
+- **`de.montana.quest` авто-управляемая — вручную НЕ ставить** (watchdog перепишет).
+- Старый `/opt/montana-failover.sh` на Франкфурте — disabled, устарел (был дефектный TCP-health + master=Москва).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Moscow :443 — stream-demux (вход + сайт на одном порту)
+
+```
+nginx stream (:443, ssl_preread)  /etc/nginx/stream.d/montana-demux.conf
+  map $ssl_preread_server_name:
+    www.googletagmanager.com → 127.0.0.1:8444  (xray Reality, VPN)
+    default (montana.quest/hub/www) → 127.0.0.1:8443  (nginx-web: сайт, /vpn/sub, hub)
+xray:  listen 127.0.0.1:8444, Reality serverNames=[googletagmanager], dest=googletagmanager:443
+       (сильная маскировка), универсальный ключ, 8 cascade-клиентов + outbounds
+nginx-web: 127.0.0.1:8443 (montana.quest cert + hub.montana.quest cert; /vpn/sub → :5008)
+```
+**xray Restart=always — при падении возможен зомби на :8444 (`bind: address already in use`).** Лечить: `systemctl stop xray; pkill -9 xray; fuser -k 8444/tcp; sleep 2; systemctl reset-failed xray; systemctl start xray`.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Маршрутизация городов (cascade, front-independent)
+
+Каждый город → `de.montana.quest` (= текущий фронт) + свой cascade-UUID → фронт роутит на `<city>-out` → выход в стране. **Москва — только вход, НЕ выход** (нет города «Москва» в подписке).
+
+| Город в подписке | host | cascade-UUID | outbound на фронте | Выход |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 🇫🇮 Хельсинки Монтана | de.montana.quest | `094f9073-aff0-4c07-a4af-6ca4c924f6a9` | helsinki-out | 91.132.142.42 / FI |

+
+ВАЖНО (урок v2.0.0): универсальный UUID `e6d355e2…` = «прямой выход НА ФРОНТЕ». Привязывать город к нему НЕЛЬЗЯ (выйдет там, где сейчас фронт = Москва). Город всегда → свой cascade-UUID.

+**Удалены (2026-05-27):** `cdn.montana.quest` (multi-A, светил ВСЕ 5 IP), `entry/frankfurt/helsinki/moscow/newyork.montana.quest` (пер-узловые IP). Бэкап-фронты и выходы НЕ в постоянном DNS — появляются в `de` лишь при failover. Censor видит один домашний RU-IP.
+
+CF origin-rule: phase `http_request_origin`, `(http.host eq "mess.montana.quest") → origin.port=8443`. Зона SSL = strict.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Control-plane (Moscow)
+
+- **orchestrator** `/opt/montana-orchestrator/server.py`, systemd `montana-orchestrator`, :5020. Registry `/var/lib/montana-orchestrator/nodes.json`. **DNS-passive** (2026-05-27): в `/register` и `watchdog_loop` отключены `cf_add` (cdn re-leak) и `apply_failover` (управлял `de`→Frankfurt, конфликтовал с entry-watchdog → флаппинг `de`). Хранит реестр для sub-gen + auto-cascade provision (см. §8).
+- **sub-генератор** `/opt/montana-vpn-balance/app.py`, gunicorn :5008, `/vpn/sub`. Читает `/nodes` из оркестратора. CASCADE dict (yerevan/helsinki/vilnius/frankfurt → cascade-UUID), `if alias=="moscow": continue` (Москва не выход). Заголовки `profile-title: base64:TW9udGFuYQ==` (=Montana) + `profile-update-interval: 12`. Rust :5009 (`mt-vpn-balance`) присутствует но nginx /vpn/sub → :5008.
+- **Front-provision** (на Франкфурте) `/usr/local/sbin/montana-cascade-add <alias> <ip>` — идемпотентно добавляет cascade client+outbound+routing на фронт (бэкап→`xray -test`→один рестарт только при изменении). Оркестратор вызывает его по SSH при регистрации узла из BLOCKED_CIDRS (`149.154.0.0/16`).
+- nginx: stream demux :443 (см §3) + http :80/:8443; efir_org/hub отдельными vhost. Бэкапы конфигов `/root/nginx-baks/`, `*.bak-*`.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Авто-каскад при регистрации ([[project_montana_auto_cascade]])
+
+Оркестратор `/register`: `needs_cascade = ip_in_blocked(ip) or not moscow_reachable`. BLOCKED_CIDRS=`['149.154.0.0/16']` (РКН-residential). Если да → SSH Франкфурт `montana-cascade-add` → пишет в registry `cascade_front`/`cascade_uuid`/`cascade_reason` + `moscow_reachable`/`moscow_rtt_ms`. Узлы в публичный DNS НЕ публикуются.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Протокольный слой (montana-node, :8444 Noise_PQ XX)
+
+**Транспортный мэш РАБОТАЕТ** (heartbeat между узлами, Noise_PQ XX). **Консенсус НЕ единый** — каждый узел отдельная singleton-генезис-цепочка (общий генезис `network_name="montana"`, но окна расходятся, NodeTable=1 у каждого). Москва Active (sole proposer), остальные CandidateVdf (грызут admission-VDF τ₂=20160 окон ≈ 14 дней). Причина не-сходимости: нет M7 fast-sync client (отставший узел не догоняет cemented-голову) + DEV-012 multi-confirmer. Genesis-manifest: `network_name` + `peers[]` (label/multiaddr/peer_id/account_id_hex/node_id_hex/bootstrap). peer_id в манифесте косметика (dial по multiaddr). Москва :8444 ufw открыт 2026-05-27 (был закрыт → Москва была изолирована).
+
+**VPN-слой полностью отдельно от консенсуса** (xray :443 vs montana-node :8444; разные процессы; узел можно перезапускать не трогая VPN).
+
+---
+
+## 10. Test-mode сети ([[установщик]])
+
+Установщик (`Code/docker/runtime/entrypoint.sh` + `docker-compose.yml`, запушено `ab8910d`):
+- `MONTANA_MNEMONIC` → `init --mnemonic` (фикс-identity).
+- `MONTANA_GENESIS_MANIFEST_B64` → кастомный генезис (тестовая когорта) вместо запечённого.
+- `MONTANA_D_TEST_OVERRIDE` → `start --d-test-override N` (малый D → окна за мс → admission за ~минуту).
+
+Тестовая сеть `montana-testnet-01` (2 bootstrap):
+- armenia: account `c543c4151b69a7a9…`, node `1c77621274ee2f66…`, mnemonic «typical lift fork extra awesome gauge gauge senior brain social two more resource soap runway eagle alter famous cause push mystery sleep have couple»
+- vilnius: account `597913015db153b0…`, node `4b125501fcf21d4e…`, mnemonic «frame transfer rug post crumble furnace barely theme square play endless december lucky season inspire rough food sister candy lunar list hollow cart icon»
+- На момент слепка: Вильнюс+Армения в полной переустановке (cargo build), консенсус-тест не завершён.

+
+## 11. Все известные причины падений + восстановление
+
+### 11.1 Frankfurt xray restart-race / xray зомби на :8444 (Moscow)
+`bind: address already in use`, `Start request repeated too quickly`. Лечить: `systemctl stop xray; pkill -9 xray; fuser -k <port>/tcp; sleep 2; reset-failed; start`.
+
+### 11.2 `de.montana.quest` указывает на Москву, но :443 не Reality
+Если на Москве :443 = nginx без stream-demux или xray с dest=google (не local) → клиенты получают не Reality → нет интернета / TLS-ошибка подписки. Должно быть: nginx stream demux (§3). Проверка: `openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:443 -servername www.googletagmanager.com` → google cert; `-servername montana.quest` → montana.quest cert.
+
+### 11.3 Город выходит не в своей стране (напр. Франкфурт → Москва)
+Причина: город привязан к универсальному UUID (`e6d355e2`, direct-на-фронте) вместо своего cascade-UUID. Лечить: в sub-gen город → его cascade-UUID (§4). Урок: смена мастер-фронта обнажает такие маппинги.
+
+### 11.4 `de` флаппит между узлами
+Причина: два писателя DNS (entry-watchdog ↔ оркестратор apply_failover). Лечить: оркестратор DNS-passive (apply_failover/cf_add отключены); `de` пишет только entry-watchdog.
+
+### 11.5 cdn / пер-узловые DNS возвращаются (утечка IP флота)
+Причина: оркестратор `watchdog_loop` cf_add. Лечить: cf_add отключён (§7). Удалить записи через CF API.
+
+### 11.6 Узел недостижим у РФ-провайдера (IP в 149.154.0.0/16)
+Завернуть каскадом через достижимый фронт (авто, §8). Долгосрочно: чистый IP / T1-T3 транспорты.
+
+### 11.7 docker build OOM/провал
+RAM<1.5G→swap; фиксы glibc/context/volume уже в install-docker.sh.
+
+### 11.8 hub/mess отдают чужой сертификат
+Причина: vhost слушает только 127.0.0.1:8443, на :443 дефолтный блок. Лечить: добавить `listen 443 ssl` блоку (hub) ИЛИ stream-demux маршрутизирует по SNI на :8443 (Moscow). mess за CF (origin-rule :8443).

+
+## 13. Задеплоено vs pending
+
+- **Прод (живое):** Москва-мастер вход + stream-demux; failover-watchdog 3 фронта; cascade-выходы 5 стран; anti-block DNS; sub-gen :5008 (профиль Montana); auto-cascade; mess за CF.
+- **В коде, НЕ задеплоено как единый консенсус:** многоузловой apply_proposal (DEV-012), M7 fast-sync client → протокол работает singleton-цепочками.
+- **В процессе:** консенсус-тест на Вильнюс/Армения (montana-testnet-01, d-override).
+- **Не построено:** T1-T3 транспорты, mt-egress relay (VPN как протокол-native), прикладной слой.
