zerone-dev-1: shared development network

Zerone shared development chain: participant-owned accounts can submit claims, record reasoned commit/reveal reviews, publish counterclaims and inspect their attributed history.

This release is specifically for zerone-dev-1. Development funds have no promised value. One operator initially controls consensus; separate participant addresses do not establish independent reviewers or scientific truth. A reset requires a new chain ID.

The Linux amd64 package contains the exact executable deployed to the development node. The Apple Silicon package was built from the same merged source. Both include the participant client, full-node join runtime, public genesis and network descriptor. They contain no private keys. Python 3.11 or later is required.

Verify archive hashes against the source-pinned public release packet linked from https://zerone.ai/development/ before extracting and running. Keep each new participant home private; the development SDK test keyring is unencrypted. Full-node joining creates a separate node with zero voting power.

Public verification on 12 September 2026 confirmed a committed funding grant, agent registration and one operator-owned claim at height 432. A separate zero-power full node reproduced its history, and both the local follower and hosted validator preserved history through restart. This does not stage independent scientific review.

Both macOS and Linux native rehearsals passed the complete 31-transaction claim/review/counterclaim lifecycle. An earlier post-merge CI run refused its second claim submission but discarded the detailed execution receipt. Its exact cause could not be reconstructed; PR85 adds bounded public failure diagnostics and CI retention. The later successful runs do not establish that every future submission will be admitted. No runtime or protocol change was made on an assumed cause.
