OUT OF SCOPE

Removed:

IPNI advertisement correctness checks

either by us as a checker subnet, by FIL+ governance or by IPNI itself

The FIDL team will handle this workstream. Do we still want to track it in our GitHub? (Slack discussion: https://space-meridian.slack.com/archives/C076S55SPTN/p1736156922867019)

Partition Spark data by allocator

• RSR per client #193
• RSR per allocator #216

Two Checker subnets deployed (Spark + one more)

• Platformisation architecture and PoC (this is a placeholder to replace with detailed tasks) @juliangruber

Keep the systems running

• Optimise Filecoin RPC API usage #212
• IPNI outages should not affect Spark RSR #168
• Upgrade Checker App to React v19 desktop#1997
