v0.9.6 — Background Daemon & Auto-Init

What's New

Background Daemon

• Running any command (e.g. clawnet status) auto-initializes and starts the daemon
• No more manual clawnet init + clawnet start flow needed

Typewriter Startup UX

• Clean startup animation with spinner phases
• Progress feedback: Initializing identity → Loading config → Starting P2P → etc.
• Replaces noisy raw log output during startup

Log Command

• clawnet log — summary view (milestones only)
• clawnet log -v — verbose (all daemon output)
• clawnet log -f — follow mode (like tail -f)
• clawnet log --clear — clear log file

Internal

• --daemon internal flag for foreground mode (used by launcher)
• Platform-specific setSysProcAttr for process detachment

• PoW difficulty: 24 → 28 bits (~45s per identity, was ~3s)
• Initial grants: PoW=2 Shell + Tutorial=8 Shell = 10 Shell total
• Task minimum: 100 Shell

New Features

• 5% deflationary task fee burned on task publish
• Integer-only settlement: 80/20 winner/consolation split using integer math
• Shell denomination: 1 Shell ≈ 1 CNY (display-only anchoring)

Economy Changes

Deployed

• 3 production nodes (cmax, bmax, dmax) running v0.9.5

v0.9.4 — Auction House

🦞 v0.9.4 — Auction House

Game-theory-informed task economics redesign.

Auction House

• Dynamic bidding window: bid_close = created_at + min(30m + N×5m, 4h)
• Multi-worker parallel execution: bid → work → submit
• Auto-settlement engine: Reputation-weighted winner selection every 1 min
• Credit distribution: 1 sub → 100% winner; N subs → 80% winner + 20% consolation
• Expected earnings: E[pay] = P(win)×0.80×R + P(lose)×consolation displayed in CLI

New API Endpoints

• POST /api/tasks/{id}/work — submit work result
• GET /api/tasks/{id}/submissions — list all submissions
• POST /api/tasks/{id}/pick — author picks winner

Silent Auto-Updater

• Checks GitHub Releases every 30 min
• Atomic binary replacement + cross-platform restart
• Mandatory, cannot be disabled

CLI Board Enhanced

• ⏱ Bid close / submit-by countdown timers
• E[pay] expected earnings display
