$ROKO 🔧 Core chain breakthrough
We finally nailed the time-aware design: temporal metadata now sits in its own pallet 🧩 so Substrate’s guts stay untouched. No custom Frontier rebuilds, no weird explorer breaks—just neat hash-map storage mirroring EVM. All the tricky bits (time-bounded sig checks, miner-rules, custom gas estimator, block proposal ordering) are unit-tested ✅—~80 % coverage.
👉 Next 7-day plan
🗓️ Day 1-2 – Spin up a validator with the new code, replay 10 k blocks and make sure nothing explodes.
🗓️ Day 3-4 – Stress-test the gas estimator; keep median error < 1 %.
🗓️ Day 5-7 – Tag the beta 🎉, push docs, green-light CI, merge into the main branch.

🛰️ Explorer & RPC tweak
Block explorers keep working out-of-the-box 👍. We added a new RPC temporal_getTxMetadata; the patch is tiny: after you click a TX hash the UI does one extra call and shows ➡️ valid-from, valid-until, key-ID, and slippage tolerance. Ten-minute PR, 15-line guide. 🖥️✨

🖥️ Hardware lane
• Secure-time node (Zimbit CM5) is 90 % built; just waiting on a GPIO header + SSD 📦. As soon as they land we flip the OS clock to the external oscillator.
• Our A100 build box was RAM-starved; the new sticks arrive 24 July 📅💌. Then Rust+CUDA builds go back to “single work shift” instead of all-nighters.
• Cheap “Pi-Zero GNSS” dev-kit got the thumbs-up 👍. Next week we draft the bill-of-materials 📝, write a flashing script ⚡, and prove a home-user can sync in < 24 h on garden-variety Wi-Fi.

🔜 Immediate checklist (≤ 1 week)
1️⃣ Full-node beta validation (long-haul sync + memory profile).
2️⃣ Lightweight gas-oracle fallback so we don’t hit “zero gas” 🛑 again.
3️⃣ Command-line helper for key-rotation/revocation 🔑↻.
4️⃣ Pi-Zero image pipeline (ARM64 snapshot each release).
5️⃣ Explorer metadata patch merged & deployed.
