Thank you for the consistent high-quality contributions. You're building real infrastructure.

[Scottcjn]

Approved! Great work as always. This has merge conflicts with main — can you rebase? Once conflicts are resolved I'll batch-merge all your approved PRs together.

[Scottcjn]

Update: CI fix just landed on main (removed broken blake2 pip dep). The BCOS scan should pass now. Just need a rebase to resolve merge conflicts, then I'll merge immediately. git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main && git push --force-with-lease

[createkr]

Rebased onto latest main, resolved conflicts, and force-pushed. Re-validated: python3 tests/validate_simulator.py (56/56 checks passed). RTC payout wallet: RTC1d48d848a5aa5ecf2c5f01aa5fb64837daaf2f35

Transfer confirmed — this was included in the batch settlement of 1,091 RTC to @createkr's wallet.
