feat: --external-tail (non-SSH home/NAT node as ring tail) + the ROAD TO LAUNCH list#103
Merged
Conversation
…ered ring The launcher assumed SSH + a public IP for every stage. A residential GPU has neither. --external-tail 'CIRCUIT_MADDR:LO:HI' (+ --swarm-token) appends the node with its relay circuit multiaddr as its `maddr`, SKIPS every SSH step for it (push/peerid/sidecar/stage/warm), and lets the vast head+predecessor forward into the circuit — the rest of the ring is unchanged. Also emit the exact hand-launch commands for the home box (with PYTHONPATH=phase0:shard for the off-vast layout). Proved live 2026-07-14: leyten's Ghent 4090 (WSL2, double-NAT) joined a 5x EU-5090 ring as the tail via a relay hole-punch and served M2.5. This is the manual scaffold that de-risks the real self-serve join (Leg 7); 39 launcher tests green.
docs/LAUNCH.md = the one severity-ordered "what's left before launch" (6 P0 + 4 P1), so the scattered NEXT lists stop living in leyten's head. Rule: all P0+P1 -> launch. Living state updated: residential ring banked, the package decision (--mode shard inside @c0mpute/worker, not a new package), and tomorrow's one next action = build Leg 7 (the self-serve shard-mode daemon).

Lands the two commits from the 2026-07-14 residential session that never made it into PR #102:
--external-tail MADDR:LO:HI+--swarm-tokeninm25_scatter_pipe.py— attach a non-SSH (home/NAT'd) node to a scattered ring via its relay circuit maddr. Live-proven: the Ghent 4090 (WSL2, double-NAT) served M2.5 as the tail of a 5-box EU ring.docs/LAUNCH.md— THE single severity-ordered launch list (6 P0 + 4 P1) + the M25_ENGINE.md living-state resume for Leg 7.
