  - ✅ Bootstrap module layout in `apps/blockchain-node/src/`.
  - ✅ Implement SQLModel schemas and RPC stubs aligned with historical/attested receipts.

- **Explorer Web Enablement**
  - ✅ Finish mock integration across all pages and polish styling + mock/live toggle.
  - ✅ Begin wiring coordinator endpoints (e.g., `/v1/jobs/{job_id}/receipts`).

- **Marketplace Web Scaffolding**
  - ✅ Scaffold Vite/vanilla frontends consuming coordinator receipt history endpoints and SDK examples.

- **Pool Hub Services**
  - ✅ Initialize FastAPI project, scoring registry, and telemetry ingestion hooks leveraging coordinator/miner metrics.

  - ✅ Provide systemd unit + installer scripts under `scripts/` for streamlined deployment.

## Stage 2 — Core Services (MVP) [COMPLETED: 2025-12-22]

  - ✅ Scaffold FastAPI project (`apps/coordinator-api/src/app/`).
  - ✅ Implement job submission, status, result endpoints.
  - ✅ Add miner registration, heartbeat, poll, result routes.
  - ✅ Wire SQLite persistence for jobs, miners, receipts (historical `JobReceipt` table).
  - ✅ Provide `.env.example`, `pyproject.toml`, and run scripts.
  - ✅ Deploy minimal version in container with nginx proxy

- **Miner Node**
  - ✅ Implement capability probe and control loop (register → heartbeat → fetch jobs).
  - ✅ Build CLI and Python runners with sandboxed work dirs (result reporting stubbed to coordinator).

- **Blockchain Node**
  - ✅ Define SQLModel schema for blocks, transactions, accounts, receipts (`apps/blockchain-node/src/aitbc_chain/models.py`).
  - ✅ Harden schema parity across runtime + storage:
    - Alembic baseline + follow-on migrations in `apps/blockchain-node/migrations/` now track the SQLModel schema (blocks, transactions, receipts, accounts).
    - Added `Relationship` + `ForeignKey` wiring in `apps/blockchain-node/src/aitbc_chain/models.py` for block ↔ transaction ↔ receipt joins.
    - Introduced hex/enum validation hooks via Pydantic validators to ensure hash integrity and safe persistence.
  - ✅ Implement PoA proposer loop with block assembly (`apps/blockchain-node/src/aitbc_chain/consensus/poa.py`).
  - ✅ Expose REST RPC endpoints for tx submission, balances, receipts (`apps/blockchain-node/src/aitbc_chain/rpc/router.py`).
  - ✅ Deliver WebSocket RPC + P2P gossip layer:
    - ✅ Stand up WebSocket subscription endpoints (`apps/blockchain-node/src/aitbc_chain/rpc/websocket.py`) mirroring REST payloads.
    - ✅ Implement pub/sub transport for block + transaction gossip backed by an in-memory broker (Starlette `Broadcast` or Redis) with configurable fan-out.
    - ✅ Add integration tests and load-test harness ensuring gossip convergence and back-pressure handling.

  - ✅ Add observability hooks (JSON logging, Prometheus metrics) and integrate coordinator mock into devnet tooling.
  - ✅ Expand observability dashboards + miner mock integration:
    - Build Grafana dashboards for consensus health (block intervals, proposer rotation) and RPC latency (`apps/blockchain-node/observability/`).
    - Expose miner mock telemetry (job throughput, error rates) via shared Prometheus registry and ingest into blockchain-node dashboards.
    - Add alerting rules (Prometheus `Alertmanager`) for stalled proposers, queue saturation, and miner mock disconnects.
    - Wire coordinator mock into devnet tooling to simulate real-world load and validate observability hooks.

- **Receipt Schema**
  - ✅ Finalize canonical JSON receipt format under `protocols/receipts/` (includes sample signed receipts).
  - ✅ Implement signing/verification helpers in `packages/py/aitbc-crypto` (JS SDK pending).
  - ✅ Translate `docs/bootstrap/aitbc_tech_plan.md` contract skeleton into Solidity project (`packages/solidity/aitbc-token/`).

  - ✅ Integrate Python receipt verification helpers (`aitbc_sdk`) and expose API/service utilities validating miner + coordinator signatures.
  - ✅ Harden REST API workflows (create/list/unlock/sign) with structured password policy enforcement and deterministic pytest coverage in `apps/wallet-daemon/tests/test_wallet_api.py`.
  - ✅ Implement Wallet SDK receipt ingestion + attestation surfacing:
    - Added `/v1/jobs/{job_id}/receipts` client helpers with cursor pagination, retry/backoff, and summary reporting (`packages/py/aitbc-sdk/src/receipts.py`).
    - Reused crypto helpers to validate miner and coordinator signatures, capturing per-key failure reasons for downstream UX.
    - Surfaced aggregated attestation status (`ReceiptStatus`) and failure diagnostics for SDK + UI consumers; JS helper parity still planned.

## Stage 21 — Transaction-Dependent Block Creation [COMPLETED: 2026-01-28]

- **PoA Consensus Enhancement**
  - ✅ Modify PoA proposer to only create blocks when mempool has pending transactions
  - ✅ Implement HTTP polling mechanism to check RPC mempool size
  - ✅ Add transaction storage in block data with tx_count field
  - ✅ Remove processed transactions from mempool after block creation
  - ✅ Fix syntax errors and import issues in consensus/poa.py

- **Architecture Implementation**
  - ✅ RPC Service: Receives transactions and maintains in-memory mempool
  - ✅ Metrics Endpoint: Exposes mempool_size for node polling
  - ✅ Node Process: Polls metrics every 2 seconds, creates blocks only when needed
  - ✅ Eliminates empty blocks from blockchain
  - ✅ Maintains block integrity with proper transaction inclusion

- **Testing and Validation**
  - ✅ Deploy changes to both Node 1 and Node 2
  - ✅ Verify proposer skips block creation when no transactions
  - ✅ Confirm blocks are created when transactions are submitted
  - ✅ Fix gossip broker integration issues
  - ✅ Implement message passing solution for transaction synchronization
