Changelog

• Health score: active-set filter via on-chain get_execution_valset + silence->4h drop. The "30-50" bucket of 70 false-broken validators is gone; bottom of the table now starts at ~64 (real sub-optimal).
• Map UX: Country and ISP columns; clickable top-6 country / top-5 ISP pills above the table for one-click filter.
• About page: describes the new peers.toml+GeoIP pipeline and the mainnet observer node with its cgroup isolation from the testnet validator.
• VDP signing-uptime on mainnet: API now points at our local mainnet observer (localhost:18080); 1h/8h/24h/7d windows resolve correctly via miner discovery on the live RPC.
• SSH hardening: PermitRootLogin no, MaxAuthTries 3, AllowUsers shadowoftime, ClientAliveInterval 5min; cloud-init dangling sudoers removed; monad + monad-mainnet users → nologin shell.
• Validators page: Location column with country code + ISP + datacenter dot, sourced from the same geo data as the map.
• Governance ranks: migrated from execution_stake to consensus_stake (the value Monad actually uses for active-set selection). 5 testnet validators show a 22% exec/consensus gap during rotation in flight — these were ranked wrong before.
• Stake history PK: migrated from (auth, epoch) to (val_id, epoch, network). Category Labs cluster (testnet val_ids 8/9/10/12 sharing one auth) now writes 4 rows/epoch instead of being collapsed — visible to the LLM impact analyser for the first time.

Stood up a mainnet full node ("observer", non-validating) on the same OVH server as the testnet validator, isolated via systemd cgroups (separate user monad-mainnet, dedicated NVMe drives nvme1n1+nvme3n1, CPU pinned to physical cores 12-15 + SMT siblings 28-31, MemoryMax caps at 12+16+6=34GB, IOWeight 50 vs testnet's 100). Same peers.toml-driven GeoIP pipeline now runs for both networks. Mainnet map: 16 → 201 validators (190 P2P-signed + 11 manual). Testnet adds the observer itself: 202 → 203. Snapshot restore took ~2 min; observer reached tip with lag=1 block within 5 min of launch. Testnet validator's block production was unaffected throughout. Mainnet ports: TCP 8002 + UDP 8002/8003 (p2p), TCP 18080 (RPC, localhost). Health monitor every 5 min (lag vs rpc.monad.xyz, peers.toml staleness, cgroup memory pressure) → Telegram.

Map now plots all 202 testnet validators (was 30, hand-curated) sourced from monad-bft peers.toml — the cryptographically-signed peer registry every node already gossips. Pipeline: a root cron job copies peers.toml from the validator's data dir every 30 min, build_validator_geo.py parses each (secp_pubkey, IP, name_record_sig) tuple, matches secp against validator-info to attach val_id/name, then batch-resolves IPs through ip-api.com for city / country / lat-lon / ASN / datacenter. A monadpulse-geo-rebuild.timer systemd unit refreshes the snapshot daily at 03:30 UTC. Popups now carry a source-tier icon: 🔒 P2P-signed + GeoIP (182), 👤 manually verified operator profile (20), — not yet in peer registry. Top-3 ISPs per cluster shown for each city. No mainnet equivalent yet — needs an observer node, deferred.

shadowoftime (testnet val_id 267) is now in the upstream monad-developers/validator-info directory after the pending PR was merged. The local validator_directory_override_testnet.json kept the name visible on MonadPulse while the PR was in review; that override is now empty (no longer needed but kept as a hook for future pending-PR cases).

• Dashboard "Validators (this epoch)" → "Active validators · epoch N" with tooltip clarifying active vs registered.
• This /changelog.html published; footer link added on every page.
• Clean-URL routing: /blocks, /governance, etc. now load with full data (not the empty dashboard).

Block Time tooltip now correctly notes that earlier mainnet blocks targeted 500ms and were later reduced to 400ms (previous wording said "earlier blocks were notably faster" — wrong direction). About page now distinguishes mainnet's first block (14 May 2025, ground-truth from eth_getBlockByNumber("0x1")) from public launch / TGE (24 November 2025).

• Governance: MIPs activated in MONAD_NINE (3, 4, 5, 6) now show Activated with cyan badge listing fork + activation date. Source: monad v0.13.0 release notes.
• About page: mainnet launch date corrected; VDP attribution cleaned up.
• Footer: "independent Monad validator" → "independent Monad testnet validator" on all 13 pages.
• Alerts: HTML formatting (<blockquote>, <b>, <a>) now renders properly via a 6-tag whitelist sanitizer; previously displayed as escaped text.
• Dashboard: "Block Time" → "Block Time (recent)" with tooltip distinguishing recent vs historical average.
• Routing: nginx try_files updated to map /blocks → /blocks.html and similar (server-side fix; client-side dispatch follow-up below).
• Governance reply counts: scraper switched from Discourse reply_count (top-level only) to posts_count - 1 to match what the forum's listing UI shows.

LLM-generated impact bullets for MIPs are now grounded against mainnet validator landscape (203 validators, 1.09B MON top stake, ~25M MON active-set threshold). Previously used testnet (197 validators, flat ~9-25M plateau). All 9 MIP analyses regenerated; validator-link URLs include &network=mainnet so clicks land on the right operator. Three-layer rank integrity: explicit rank-keyed context payload, hard prompt rule against rank manipulation, post-generation corrector that overwrites cited rank/stake from the live snapshot.

New Governance page tracking all MIPs from forum.monad.xyz: per-proposal detail page (MIP-9 example) with plain-language summary, per-stakeholder impact analysis (validators / delegators / builders), unified timeline merging topic creation + replies + Discourse post revisions with real forum timestamps. Substantive vs cosmetic edits visually distinguished. Validator names in impact bullets are clickable links.

New "VDP Uptime" section on /validator.html?id=N with weekly target (≥98%) and 1h / 8h / 24h / 7d signing-uptime windows. Approximation noted explicitly: per-block leader election isn't exposed on-chain, so we use stake-weighted expectation as the assigned-blocks denominator.

Initial release of monadpulse.xyz — independent analytics platform for Monad: dashboard, blocks, validators, map, stake, gas, alerts. Open-source MIT (repo). Built solo by shadowoftime on the same OVH server that runs the testnet validator (val_id 267).
