feat(wire): add alias entry readers + AX usage-example comments

Add readExtraAliasEntryOld (tag 20) and readExtraAliasEntry (tag 33)
wire readers so the node can deserialise blocks containing alias
registrations. Without these readers, mainnet sync would fail on any
block with an alias transaction. Three round-trip tests validate the
new readers.

Also apply AX-2 (comments as usage examples) across 12 files: add
concrete usage-example comments to exported functions in config/,
types/, wire/, chain/, difficulty/, and consensus/. Fix stale doc
in consensus/doc.go that incorrectly referenced *config.ChainConfig.

+# HF3 Block Version Validation Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add block major version validation to `consensus/block.go` so the Go node enforces the correct block version at every hardfork boundary (HF0 through HF4+). This satisfies the HF3 spec and also covers HF1's block version requirement (HF1 plan Task 10).
+

+|------|-------------|
+| `consensus/errors.go` | Add `ErrBlockVersion` sentinel error to the block errors group. |
+| `consensus/block.go` | Add `checkBlockVersion` and `expectedBlockMajorVersion` functions. Call `checkBlockVersion` from `ValidateBlock` before timestamp validation. |

+## Task 1: Sentinel error + expectedBlockMajorVersion + checkBlockVersion
+
+**Package:** `consensus/`
+**Why:** The version lookup and check are pure functions with no side effects. Delivering them together with their tests in one task keeps the change atomic and reviewable.
+
+### Step 1.1 — Add ErrBlockVersion sentinel error
+
+- [ ] Edit `/home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain/consensus/errors.go`
+
+Add to the block errors group, after `ErrMinerTxProofs`:

+```
+
+### Step 1.2 — Write tests for expectedBlockMajorVersion and checkBlockVersion
+
+- [ ] Append to `/home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain/consensus/block_test.go`

+### Step 1.3 — Run tests, verify FAIL
+
+```bash
+cd /home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain && go test -race -run "TestExpectedBlockMajorVersion|TestCheckBlockVersion" ./consensus/...
+```
+
+**Expected:** Compilation error — `expectedBlockMajorVersion`, `checkBlockVersion`, and `ErrBlockVersion` do not exist yet.
+
+### Step 1.4 — Implement expectedBlockMajorVersion and checkBlockVersion
+
+- [ ] Edit `/home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain/consensus/block.go`
+
+Add after the `medianTimestamp` function, before `ValidateMinerTx`:
+
+```go
+// expectedBlockMajorVersion returns the required block major version for the
+// given height based on the active hardfork schedule.
+func expectedBlockMajorVersion(height uint64, forks []config.HardFork) uint8 {
+	switch {
+	case config.IsHardForkActive(forks, config.HF4Zarcanum, height):
+		return config.CurrentBlockMajorVersion // 3
+	case config.IsHardForkActive(forks, config.HF3, height):
+		return config.HF3BlockMajorVersion // 2
+	case config.IsHardForkActive(forks, config.HF1, height):
+		return config.HF1BlockMajorVersion // 1
+	default:
+		return config.BlockMajorVersionInitial // 0
+	}
+}
+
+// checkBlockVersion validates that the block's major version matches the
+// expected version for its height in the hardfork schedule.
+func checkBlockVersion(majorVersion uint8, height uint64, forks []config.HardFork) error {
+	expected := expectedBlockMajorVersion(height, forks)
+	if majorVersion != expected {
+		return fmt.Errorf("%w: got %d, expected %d at height %d",
+			ErrBlockVersion, majorVersion, expected, height)
+	}
+	return nil
+}
+```
+
+### Step 1.5 — Wire checkBlockVersion into ValidateBlock
+
+- [ ] Edit `/home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain/consensus/block.go` — `ValidateBlock`
+
+Add at the top of the function body, before the timestamp validation comment:
+
+```go
+	// Block major version check.
+	if err := checkBlockVersion(blk.MajorVersion, height, forks); err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+```
+
+### Step 1.6 — Run new tests, verify PASS
+
+```bash
+cd /home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain && go test -race -run "TestExpectedBlockMajorVersion|TestCheckBlockVersion" ./consensus/...
+```
+
+**Expected:** All PASS.
+
+### Step 1.7 — Run full consensus test suite
+
+```bash
+cd /home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain && go test -race ./consensus/...
+```
+
+**Expected:** Existing `TestValidateBlock_Good` may FAIL because it uses `MajorVersion: 1` at height 100 (pre-HF1, where version 0 is expected). If so, fix the test block's `MajorVersion` to `0`. Repeat until all PASS.
+
+**Likely fix** in `TestValidateBlock_Good` — change `MajorVersion: 1` to `MajorVersion: 0` (height 100 is pre-HF1 on mainnet):
+
+```go
+	blk := &types.Block{
+		BlockHeader: types.BlockHeader{
+			MajorVersion: 0, // height 100 is pre-HF1
+			Timestamp:    now,
+			Flags:        0,
+		},
+		MinerTx: *validMinerTx(height),
+	}
+```
+
+Also update `TestValidateBlock_Bad_Timestamp` and `TestValidateBlock_Bad_MinerTx` if they use `MajorVersion: 1` at pre-HF1 heights.
+
+### Step 1.8 — Run vet + mod tidy
+
+```bash
+cd /home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain && go vet ./consensus/... && go mod tidy
+```
+
+**Expected:** Clean.
+
+### Step 1.9 — Commit
+
+```bash
+cd /home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain
+git add consensus/errors.go consensus/block.go consensus/block_test.go
+git commit -m "feat(consensus): validate block major version across all hardforks
+
+Add checkBlockVersion and expectedBlockMajorVersion to enforce the correct
+block major version at every hardfork boundary (v0 pre-HF1, v1 post-HF1,
+v2 post-HF3, v3 post-HF4). This covers HF3's version gate and also
+satisfies HF1 plan Task 10.

+

+
+## Task 2: ValidateBlock integration — verify existing callers still work
+
+**Package:** `consensus/`, `chain/`
+**Why:** `ValidateBlock` gained a new early-return path. Callers in `chain/` (block storage and sync) must still compile and pass their tests.
+
+### Step 2.1 — Run full test suite
+
+```bash
+cd /home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain && go test -race ./...
+```
+
+**Expected:** All PASS. If any test in `chain/` or elsewhere constructs a `types.Block` with the wrong `MajorVersion` for its height, fix the test data.
+
+### Step 2.2 — Run vet across entire module
+
+```bash
+cd /home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain && go vet ./...
+```
+
+**Expected:** Clean.
+
+### Step 2.3 — Commit (only if test fixes were needed)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/claude/Code/core/go-blockchain
+git add -A
+git commit -m "test: fix block MajorVersion in existing tests for version validation
+
+Update test blocks to use the correct MajorVersion for their height
+now that ValidateBlock enforces version checks.

+# HF6 Block Time Halving Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Correct the difficulty target gate from HF2 to HF6 so the PoW target stays at 120s until HF6 activates, then switches to 240s. Add the matching PoS difficulty function that follows the same HF6 gate.
+
+**Architecture:** `chain/difficulty.go` already computes PoW difficulty via the LWMA algorithm in `difficulty/`. The HF2 gate is a Zano-ism -- Lethean mainnet uses 120s blocks between HF2 (height 10,080) and HF6 (height 999,999,999). The fix changes the gate constant and adds a parallel `NextPoSDifficulty` method with identical logic but using the PoS target constants.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Go 1.26, go-store (SQLite), go test -race

+## File Map
+
+### Modified files
+
+| File | What changes |
+|------|-------------|
+| `chain/difficulty.go` | Change HF2 gate to HF6. Add `NextPoSDifficulty` method. Add comment explaining the HF2-to-HF6 correction. |
+| `chain/difficulty_test.go` | Rename `preHF2Forks` to `preHF6Forks`. Add HF6 boundary tests for both PoW and PoS (Good/Bad/Ugly). |
+
+### Unchanged files (reference only)
+
+| File | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `config/hardfork.go` | Defines `HF6` constant and `MainnetForks`/`TestnetForks` schedules. No changes needed. |
+| `config/config.go` | Defines `DifficultyPowTargetHF6`, `DifficultyPosTargetHF6` constants. No changes needed. |
+| `difficulty/difficulty.go` | Pure LWMA algorithm -- takes target as parameter. No changes needed. |
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Fix the HF2-to-HF6 gate and add PoS difficulty
+
+**Package:** `chain/`
+**Why:** The current code gates the 240s PoW target on HF2 (block 10,080), but Lethean mainnet uses 120s blocks until HF6 (999,999,999). This means the Go node would compute incorrect difficulty for every block between 10,081 and the future HF6 activation. Additionally, there is no PoS difficulty function -- PoS blocks also need the 120s-to-240s switch at HF6.

+
+The 240s PoW target was incorrectly gated on HF2 (block 10,080), matching
+the Zano upstream where HF2 coincides with the difficulty target change.
+Lethean mainnet uses 120s blocks between HF2 and HF6 (999,999,999), so
+the gate is corrected to HF6.
+
+Also adds NextPoSDifficulty with the same HF6 gate using the PoS target
+constants (DifficultyPosTarget / DifficultyPosTargetHF6).
+
+Both public methods delegate to a shared nextDifficultyWith helper to
+avoid duplicating the LWMA window logic.

+# HF1/HF2 Transaction Type Support
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-16
+**Author:** Charon
+**Package:** `dappco.re/go/core/blockchain`
+**Status:** Approved
+
+## Context
+
+Mainnet hardfork 1 activates at block 10,080. The Go node currently only handles genesis, to_key, and ZC input types, and bare (to_key target) and Zarcanum output types. After HF1, blocks may contain HTLC and multisig transactions. The miner tx major version also changes from 0 to 1. Without this work, the Go node will fail to deserialise blocks past HF1.
+
+HF2 activates at the same height (10,080) and adjusts block time parameters. This is handled by the difficulty package via config constants — no new types needed.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Add `TxInputHTLC` and `TxInputMultisig` input types to `types/` and `wire/`
+- Add `TxOutMultisig` and `TxOutHTLC` output target types to `types/` and `wire/`
+- Refactor `TxOutputBare.Target` from concrete `TxOutToKey` to `TxOutTarget` interface
+- Update `consensus/` validation to gate HTLC/multisig on HF1
+- Update block major version validation for HF1
+- Update all call sites that access `TxOutputBare.Target` fields directly
+
+## C++ Reference (currency_basic.h)
+
+### txin_htlc (tag 0x22)
+
+Inherits from `txin_to_key`. Wire order: `hltc_origin` (string) serialised BEFORE parent fields.
+
+**Note:** The C++ field is named `hltc_origin` (transposed letters). The Go field uses `HTLCOrigin` (corrected acronym) since the type is already `TxInputHTLC`.
+
+```
+FIELD(hltc_origin)        // varint length + bytes
+FIELDS(*static_cast<txin_to_key*>(this))  // amount, key_offsets, k_image, etc_details
+```
+
+### txin_multisig (tag 0x02)
+
+```
+VARINT_FIELD(amount)
+FIELD(multisig_out_id)    // 32-byte hash
+VARINT_FIELD(sigs_count)
+FIELD(etc_details)        // variant vector (opaque)
+```
+
+### txout_multisig (target tag 0x04)
+
+```
+VARINT_FIELD(minimum_sigs)
+FIELD(keys)               // vector of 32-byte public keys
+```
+
+### txout_htlc (target tag 0x23)
+
+```
+FIELD(htlc_hash)          // 32-byte hash
+FIELD(flags)              // uint8 (bit 0: 0=SHA256, 1=RIPEMD160)
+VARINT_FIELD(expiration)  // block height
+FIELD(pkey_redeem)        // 32-byte public key
+FIELD(pkey_refund)        // 32-byte public key
+```
+
+## Design
+
+### types/transaction.go
+
+#### New input types
+
+```go
+// TxInputHTLC extends TxInputToKey with an HTLC origin hash.
+// Wire order: HTLCOrigin (string) serialised BEFORE parent fields (C++ quirk).
+// Carries Amount, KeyOffsets, KeyImage, EtcDetails — same as TxInputToKey.
+type TxInputHTLC struct {
+    HTLCOrigin string       // C++ field: hltc_origin (transposed in source)
+    Amount     uint64
+    KeyOffsets []TxOutRef
+    KeyImage   KeyImage
+    EtcDetails []byte       // opaque variant vector
+}
+
+func (t TxInputHTLC) InputType() uint8 { return InputTypeHTLC }
+```
+
+```go
+// TxInputMultisig spends from a multisig output.
+type TxInputMultisig struct {
+    Amount        uint64
+    MultisigOutID Hash
+    SigsCount     uint64
+    EtcDetails    []byte     // opaque variant vector
+}
+
+func (t TxInputMultisig) InputType() uint8 { return InputTypeMultisig }
+```
+
+#### Output target interface
+
+Replace concrete `TxOutToKey` target with interface:
+
+```go
+type TxOutTarget interface {
+    TargetType() uint8
+}
+
+func (t TxOutToKey) TargetType() uint8 { return TargetTypeToKey }
+```
+
+New types:
+
+```go
+type TxOutMultisig struct {
+    MinimumSigs uint64
+    Keys        []PublicKey
+}
+
+func (t TxOutMultisig) TargetType() uint8 { return TargetTypeMultisig }
+```
+
+```go
+type TxOutHTLC struct {
+    HTLCHash   Hash
+    Flags      uint8
+    Expiration uint64
+    PKRedeem   PublicKey
+    PKRefund   PublicKey
+}
+
+func (t TxOutHTLC) TargetType() uint8 { return TargetTypeHTLC }
+```
+
+#### TxOutputBare change
+
+```go
+type TxOutputBare struct {
+    Amount uint64
+    Target TxOutTarget  // was TxOutToKey, now interface
+}
+```
+
+### wire/transaction.go
+
+#### Input decoding (decodeInputs)
+
+Add cases:
+
+```
+case InputTypeHTLC (0x22):
+    read hltc_origin as string (varint length + bytes)
+    read amount (varint), key_offsets, key_image (32 bytes), etc_details (opaque)
+
+case InputTypeMultisig (0x02):
+    read amount (varint), multisig_out_id (32 bytes), sigs_count (varint), etc_details (opaque)
+```
+
+#### Input encoding (encodeInputs)
+
+Add matching cases for `TxInputHTLC` and `TxInputMultisig`.
+
+#### Output target decoding — BOTH decodeOutputsV1 AND decodeOutputsV2
+
+Add target cases to both v1 and v2 output decoders:
+
+```
+case TargetTypeMultisig (0x04):
+    read minimum_sigs (varint), keys (varint count + 32*N bytes)
+
+case TargetTypeHTLC (0x23):
+    read htlc_hash (32 bytes), flags (uint8), expiration (varint),
+    pkey_redeem (32 bytes), pkey_refund (32 bytes)
+```
+
+The v2 decoder (`decodeOutputsV2`) also handles `OutputTypeBare` with an inner target tag, so it needs the same target switch updates.
+
+#### Output target encoding — BOTH encodeOutputsV1 AND encodeOutputsV2
+
+Match on `TxOutTarget` interface type, encode accordingly. Both v1 and v2 encoders must handle all three target types.
+
+### consensus/
+
+#### tx.go — Function signature changes
+
+`checkInputTypes` currently receives `hf4Active bool`. Change to receive `forks []config.HardFork` and `height uint64` (or pre-computed `hf1Active` and `hf4Active` bools from the parent `ValidateTransaction`). Same for `checkOutputs`.
+
+#### tx.go — checkInputTypes
+
+Accept `TxInputHTLC` and `TxInputMultisig` when `IsHardForkActive(forks, HF1, height)`. Reject pre-HF1.
+
+#### tx.go — checkOutputs
+
+Accept `TxOutMultisig` and `TxOutHTLC` targets when HF1 active. Reject pre-HF1. Must type-assert `TxOutputBare.Target` to check target types.
+
+#### tx.go — checkKeyImages
+
+Add `TxInputHTLC` to the key image uniqueness check. HTLC inputs carry a `KeyImage` field that must be checked for double-spend prevention, same as `TxInputToKey`.
+
+#### fee.go — sumInputs
+
+Add `TxInputHTLC` and `TxInputMultisig` to the input sum. Both carry `Amount` fields needed for fee calculation and overflow checks. Without this, transactions with HTLC/multisig inputs would appear to have zero input value.
+
+#### block.go — ValidateBlock
+
+Add block major version check: after HF1 height, `blk.MajorVersion` must be >= `HF1BlockMajorVersion` (1). Before HF1, must be 0. This goes in `ValidateBlock` (the block-level entry point), not in `ValidateMinerTx`.
+
+#### block.go — ValidateBlockReward
+
+Update output sum to handle all `TxOutTarget` types via type assertion. The `Amount` field is on `TxOutputBare` (the outer struct), so the sum logic doesn't change for different targets — but the type assertion for accessing the output is needed after the interface refactor.
+
+#### verify.go — verifyV1Signatures
+
+Count `TxInputHTLC` inputs alongside `TxInputToKey` when matching signatures. HTLC inputs use the same NLSAG ring signature scheme. The signature verification loop must handle both types.
+
+### Breaking change: TxOutTarget interface
+
+`TxOutputBare.Target` changes from `TxOutToKey` to `TxOutTarget` interface. All direct field access (`out.Target.Key`) must become type assertions.
+
+**Complete list of affected call sites:**
+
+| File | Line | Current access | Fix |
+|------|------|---------------|-----|
+| `consensus/block.go` | ValidateBlockReward output sum | `bare.Target` | Type assert to `TxOutToKey` |
+| `consensus/verify.go` | Ring output key extraction | `out.Target.Key` | Type assert |
+| `wire/transaction.go` | encodeOutputsV1, encodeOutputsV2 | `v.Target.Key`, `v.Target.MixAttr` | Switch on `TargetType()` |
+| `chain/ring.go:38` | `out.Target.Key` | Ring output lookup | Type assert |
+| `chain/sync.go:280` | Type switch on `TxOutputBare` | Output processing | Type assert target |
+| `wallet/scanner.go:67` | `bare.Target.Key` | Output scanning | Type assert |
+| `wallet/builder.go:217` | `Target: types.TxOutToKey{...}` | Output construction | No change (constructs TxOutToKey, which satisfies TxOutTarget) |
+| `tui/explorer_model.go:328` | `v.Target.Key[:4]` | Display | Type assert |
+| All `*_test.go` files | Various | Test assertions | Type assert where accessing Target fields |
+
+### chain/ring.go — GetRingOutputs
+
+Must handle the case where a ring references an output with a multisig or HTLC target. For `TxOutToKey` targets, return the key as before. For `TxOutMultisig`, the relevant key depends on the spending context (not needed for basic sync). For `TxOutHTLC`, return either `PKRedeem` or `PKRefund` depending on whether the HTLC has expired.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Wire round-trip tests: construct HTLC/multisig inputs and outputs, encode, decode, verify equality
+- Testnet block parsing: testnet has HF1 at height 0, so all blocks may contain these types
+- Consensus gate tests: verify HTLC/multisig rejected pre-HF1, accepted post-HF1
+- Key image uniqueness tests: verify HTLC inputs checked for double-spend
+- Fee calculation tests: verify sumInputs includes HTLC and multisig amounts
+- Signature verification tests: verify verifyV1Signatures handles mixed TxInputToKey + TxInputHTLC
+- Breaking change verification: all existing tests must pass after Target interface refactor
+- Integration test: sync Go node past HF1 on testnet
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- HTLC redemption/refund logic (wallet layer, not consensus)
+- Multisig signing coordination (wallet layer)
+- HF3-HF6 changes (separate designs)
+- Service attachment parsing (stays opaque)

+# HF3 Block Version 2 Support
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-16
+**Author:** Charon
+**Package:** `dappco.re/go/core/blockchain`
+**Status:** Approved
+
+## Context
+
+HF3 increments the block major version from 1 to 2 (`HF3_BLOCK_MAJOR_VERSION`). This is a preparatory hardfork for Zarcanum (HF4). No new transaction types, no new validation rules — purely a version gate.
+
+On mainnet, HF3 is at height 999,999,999 (future). On testnet, HF3 activates at height 0 (genesis).
+
+## Scope
+
+- Add block major version validation to `consensus/block.go` `ValidateBlock`
+- Validate version progression: HF0→0, HF1/HF2→1, HF3→2, HF4+→3
+
+## Design
+
+### consensus/block.go — ValidateBlock
+
+Add a `checkBlockVersion` function called from `ValidateBlock`:
+
+```go
+func checkBlockVersion(majorVersion uint8, height uint64, forks []config.HardFork) error {
+    expected := expectedBlockMajorVersion(height, forks)
+    if majorVersion != expected {
+        return fmt.Errorf("%w: got %d, expected %d at height %d",
+            ErrBlockVersion, majorVersion, expected, height)
+    }
+    return nil
+}
+
+func expectedBlockMajorVersion(height uint64, forks []config.HardFork) uint8 {
+    switch {
+    case config.IsHardForkActive(forks, config.HF4Zarcanum, height):
+        return config.CurrentBlockMajorVersion // 3
+    case config.IsHardForkActive(forks, config.HF3, height):
+        return config.HF3BlockMajorVersion // 2
+    case config.IsHardForkActive(forks, config.HF1, height):
+        return config.HF1BlockMajorVersion // 1
+    default:
+        return config.BlockMajorVersionInitial // 0
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This covers all hardforks in one function. `ValidateBlock` signature needs `forks []config.HardFork` added (it currently receives forks via the caller).
+
+### errors.go
+
+Add `ErrBlockVersion` sentinel error.
+
+### Testing
+
+- Test version 0 valid pre-HF1, rejected post-HF1
+- Test version 1 valid post-HF1, rejected pre-HF1 and post-HF3
+- Test version 2 valid post-HF3, rejected pre-HF3 and post-HF4
+- Test version 3 valid post-HF4
+- Test with both mainnet and testnet fork schedules
+
+## Note
+
+This function also satisfies HF1's block version requirement (issue #8 from the HF1 spec review). Implementing this as part of HF3 means the HF1 plan doesn't need a separate version check — this single function handles all hardforks.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Block minor version validation (not consensus-critical in current chain)

+# HF5 Confidential Assets Support
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-16
+**Author:** Charon
+**Package:** `dappco.re/go/core/blockchain`
+**Status:** Draft
+**Depends on:** HF1 (types refactor), HF3 (block version), HF4 (Zarcanum — already implemented)
+
+## Context
+
+HF5 introduces confidential assets — the ability to deploy, emit, update, and burn custom asset types on the Lethean chain. This is the Zano asset system: every output has a `blinded_asset_id` that proves (via BGE surjection proofs) it corresponds to a legitimate input asset without revealing which one.
+
+On mainnet, HF5 is at height 999,999,999 (future). On testnet, HF5 activates at height 200.
+
+**What's already implemented:**
+- BGE surjection proof verification (`crypto.VerifyBGE`) — crypto bridge done
+- BGE proof parsing (`readBGEProof`, `readZCAssetSurjectionProof`) — wire done
+- `verifyBGEProofs` in consensus/verify.go — verification logic done
+- Transaction version 3 wire format with `hardfork_id` field — wire done
+- `VersionPostHF5` constant and `decodePrefixV2` hardfork_id handling — done
+
+**What's NOT implemented:**
+- Asset operation types in extra/attachment fields
+- Asset descriptor structures
+- Consensus validation for asset operations
+- Pre-hardfork transaction freeze (60 blocks before HF5 activation)
+- Minimum build version enforcement
+
+## Scope
+
+### Phase A: Asset descriptor types (types/)
+
+New types for the `asset_descriptor_operation` extra variant:
+
+```go
+// AssetDescriptorBase holds the core asset metadata.
+type AssetDescriptorBase struct {
+    Ticker       string    // max 6 chars
+    FullName     string    // max 64 chars
+    TotalMaxSupply uint64  // maximum supply cap
+    CurrentSupply  uint64  // current circulating supply
+    DecimalPoint   uint8   // display precision
+    MetaInfo     string    // arbitrary metadata (JSON)
+    OwnerKey     PublicKey // asset owner's public key
+    // etc: reserved variant vector for future fields
+    Etc          []byte   // opaque
+}
+
+// AssetDescriptorOperation represents a deploy/emit/update/burn operation.
+type AssetDescriptorOperation struct {
+    Version       uint8   // currently 0 or 1
+    OperationType uint8   // ASSET_DESCRIPTOR_OPERATION_REGISTER, _EMIT, _UPDATE, _BURN, _PUBLIC_BURN
+    Descriptor    *AssetDescriptorBase // present for register and update
+    AssetID       Hash    // target asset ID (absent for register)
+    AmountToEmit  uint64  // for emit operations
+    AmountToBurn  uint64  // for burn operations
+    Etc           []byte  // opaque
+}
+```
+
+Operation type constants:
+```go
+const (
+    AssetOpRegister   uint8 = 0 // deploy new asset
+    AssetOpEmit       uint8 = 1 // emit additional supply
+    AssetOpUpdate     uint8 = 2 // update metadata
+    AssetOpBurn       uint8 = 3 // burn supply (with proof)
+    AssetOpPublicBurn uint8 = 4 // burn supply (public amount)
+)
+```
+
+### Phase B: Wire encoding for asset operations (wire/)
+
+The `asset_descriptor_operation` appears as a variant element in the tx extra field (tag 40 in the C++ SET_VARIANT_TAGS).
+
+Add to `readVariantElementData`:
+```
+case tagAssetDescriptorOperation (40):
+    read version transition header
+    read operation_type (uint8)
+    read opt_asset_id (optional hash)
+    read opt_descriptor (optional AssetDescriptorBase)
+    read amount_to_emit/burn (varint)
+    read etc (opaque vector)
+```
+
+This is stored as raw bytes in the extra field (same opaque pattern as everything else), but we need the wire reader to not choke on tag 40 during deserialization.
+
+### Phase C: Asset operation proof types (wire/)
+
+New proof variant tags for HF5:
+
+```
+tagAssetOperationProof           = 49  // asset_operation_proof
+tagAssetOperationOwnershipProof  = 50  // asset_operation_ownership_proof
+tagAssetOperationOwnershipETH    = 51  // asset_operation_ownership_proof_eth
+```
+
+Each needs a reader in `readVariantElementData`. The proof structures contain crypto elements (Schnorr signatures, public keys) that are fixed-size.
+
+### Phase D: Consensus validation (consensus/)
+
+**Transaction version enforcement:**
+- After HF5: transaction version must be 3 (not 2)
+- `hardfork_id` field must be present and match current hardfork
+
+**Pre-hardfork freeze:**
+- 60 blocks before HF5 activation, reject non-coinbase transactions
+- `config.PreHardforkTxFreezePeriod = 60` already defined
+
+**Asset operation validation:**
+- Register: descriptor must be valid (ticker length, supply caps, owner key non-zero)
+- Emit: asset_id must exist, caller must prove ownership
+- Update: asset_id must exist, caller must prove ownership
+- Burn: amount must not exceed current supply
+
+**Minimum build version:**
+- C++ enforces `MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BUILD_VERSION = 601` for mainnet, 2 for testnet
+- Go equivalent: reject connections from peers with build version below threshold
+
+### Phase E: Asset state tracking (chain/)
+
+Need to track:
+- Asset registry: asset_id → AssetDescriptorBase
+- Current supply per asset
+- Asset ownership proofs
+
+This requires new storage groups in `chain/store.go`.
+
+## What can be deferred
+
+- **Full asset operation validation** — complex, needs ownership proof verification. Can accept blocks containing asset operations structurally (wire parsing) without deep validation initially, then add validation incrementally.
+- **Asset state tracking** — needed for wallet/explorer, not strictly for block sync if we trust the C++ daemon's validation.
+- **Wallet asset support** — separate design.
+
+## Recommended approach
+
+**Minimum viable HF5:** Wire parsing only. Add tag 40 and the asset proof tags to `readVariantElementData` so the Go node can deserialise HF5 blocks without crashing. Store asset operations as opaque bytes in the extra field (existing pattern). Gate transaction version 3 on HF5.
+
+This follows the same pattern used for extra, attachment, etc_details — opaque bytes for bit-identical round-tripping. Deep validation can layer on top.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Wire round-trip tests with constructed v3 transactions containing asset operations
+- Testnet block parsing past height 200 (HF5 activation)
+- Version enforcement tests (reject v2 after HF5, accept v3)
+- Pre-hardfork freeze tests (reject non-coinbase 60 blocks before activation)
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Wallet asset management (deploy/emit/burn CLI)
+- Asset explorer UI
+- Asset whitelist management
+- Cross-asset atomic swaps
+- HF6 block time halving (separate spec)

+# HF6 Block Time Halving
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-16
+**Author:** Charon
+**Package:** `dappco.re/go/core/blockchain`
+**Status:** Draft
+**Depends on:** HF5 (confidential assets)
+
+## Context
+
+HF6 doubles the PoW and PoS block targets from 120s to 240s, effectively halving the emission rate without changing the per-block reward. Blocks per day drop from ~1440 to ~720.
+
+On both mainnet and testnet, HF6 is at height 999,999,999 (future/reserved).
+
+**What's already implemented:**
+- `DifficultyPowTargetHF6 = 240` and `DifficultyPosTargetHF6 = 240` constants in config
+- `DifficultyTotalTargetHF6` computed constant
+- `chain/difficulty.go` already switches target based on HF2 — same pattern extends to HF6
+
+**What's NOT implemented:**
+- The difficulty switch in `chain/difficulty.go` gates on HF2 but uses the HF6 constants. This is technically correct for the Zano chain where HF2 and the difficulty change are the same thing, but for Lethean the naming is misleading.
+- Minimum build version enforcement for HF6
+
+## Scope
+
+This is a ~10 line change.

+Currently:
+```go
+target := config.DifficultyPowTarget
+if config.IsHardForkActive(forks, config.HF2, height) {
+    target = config.DifficultyPowTargetHF6
+}
+```
+
+After HF6 support:
+```go
+target := config.DifficultyPowTarget // 120s
+if config.IsHardForkActive(forks, config.HF6, height) {
+    target = config.DifficultyPowTargetHF6 // 240s
+}
+```
+
+Wait — looking at this again, the current code gates the 240s target on HF2 (block 10,080), not HF6 (999,999,999). This means blocks after HF2 are already using the 240s target. Need to check whether this is intentional for Lethean or a bug from the Zano port.
+
+**TODO:** Verify with the C++ daemon what target time blocks after height 10,080 actually use. If Lethean mainnet uses 120s until HF6, then the current code is wrong (should gate on HF6 not HF2). If Lethean follows Zano's schedule where HF2 = difficulty change, then it's correct and HF6 is a no-op.
+
+### Consensus timestamp validation
+
+The `BlockFutureTimeLimit` and `PosBlockFutureTimeLimit` may need adjustment for HF6 if the block time changes. Currently 2 hours for PoW and 20 minutes for PoS — these are reasonable for both 120s and 240s targets.
+
+### Testing
+
+- Difficulty calculation with 240s target
+- Verify existing difficulty tests still pass
+- Integration test: compute difficulty across HF6 boundary on testnet
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- PoS target adjustments (same 240s, already in config)
+- Emission schedule calculations (per-block reward stays the same)
