Validator Client

@botcoin/cortex is the standalone validator package. It defaults to CPU replay.

Setup fetches and verifies the public artifact manifest, checks payload hashes and byte sizes, materializes the production corpus, records the launch base corpus, and bootstraps a pinned CPU scorer environment.

Sync reads V4 and registry pins through Base RPC, replays CoreTexStateAdvanced logs, recomputes substrate roots from compact public patch bytes, and checks the local root against the registry live root.

Before reveal, sync exits successfully with awaiting_epoch_secret_reveal after root continuity checks. After reveal, it fetches eval reports and re-scores accepted advances on CPU.
