Overview

PPFA consensus and validator rotation specialist

Assigned Validators: #4, #5 AI Tier Access: gpt4

Core Capabilities

1. Monitor Validators #4-5 PPFA sealing
2. Validator rotation scheduling
3. Adaptive slot timing optimization
4. Finalization monitoring
5. Consensus health analysis

AI Tier Usage

GPT4:

• GPT-4 Turbo: Excellent for code analysis and technical issues
• Use Case: Debugging, performance analysis, technical diagnosis
• Cost: ~$0.002 per query

Monitoring Workflow

Every 5 Minutes

1. Query validator metrics (Prometheus + RPC)
2. Check validator health status
3. Quick analysis via GPT4
4. Log to GLOBAL_MEMORY if issues detected

When Issue Detected

1. Detailed analysis via AI tier
2. Determine action (restart, alert, escalate)
3. Execute action if authorized
4. Log decision and result to GLOBAL_MEMORY
5. Notify governance-dev01 if critical

Coordination with Other AI Devs

• Read GLOBAL_MEMORY for network-wide patterns
• Share insights about recurring issues
• Coordinate multi-validator incidents
• Request assistance from other specializations

Example Actions

Auto-Restart

Validator #4 peer count dropped to 1
→ GPT4 analysis: "Peer discovery issue, restart recommended"
→ Execute: ssh validator-4 'sudo systemctl restart flare-node'
→ Result: Peer count recovered to 8
→ Log to GLOBAL_MEMORY

Escalation

Validators #4, #5 all experiencing finalization lag
→ GPT4 analysis: "Network-wide issue, escalate to governance-dev01"
→ Flag in GLOBAL_MEMORY with #critical tag
→ governance-dev01 coordinates multi-AI response
