Summary
On the mainnet validation sync, dugite's reserves drain faster than Koios each epoch, by a GROWING margin. Treasury tracks closely. The reserves deficit accumulates from ~776K ADA (ep524) to ~2.6M ADA (ep527).

The extra reserves drain GROWS (~+320K ADA/epoch). The over-drained ADA is NOT in treasury (treasury diff small + shrinking) → it goes to rewards / circulating supply, i.e. dugite distributes more from reserves than cardano-node.
Hypotheses to investigate
- Real reward/expansion calc divergence: dugite's
calculate_rewards / expansion (rho*eta*reserves) / reward distribution over-pays from reserves. Cross-check against cardano-ledger RUPD/SNAP/POOLREAP and the prevPParams reward path.
- RUPD-pulser sampling artifact: Conway computes rewards incrementally via a pulser; the
dugite_reserves_lovelace gauge may reflect in-progress mid-epoch RUPD state at the first-hit-epoch sample point, vs Koios's boundary value. (If so, the divergence is a metric-timing artifact, not state drift — verify by sampling reserves at a fixed offset into each epoch.)
- Inherited-deficit propagation: the ep521 snapshot started with a deficit; verify whether the per-epoch deltas are deterministic propagation vs a fresh per-epoch error.
Notes
- Node is in ApplyOnly mode (non-forging), so this is informational pots state, not a forged-block consensus error — but it IS a ledger-calc byte-exactness gap.
- The absolute pots also carry an inherited offset from the Mithril/snapshot starting state; the DELTA divergence above is the actionable signal.
Next step
Dump dugite epoch-state at the 526→527 boundary and diff reserves/treasury/rewards/fees against cardano-cli debug log-epoch-state (or Koios reward history) to localize the over-distribution.
