Validator Client

The CoreTex validator is separate from the two memory-adapter wheels. It reads the production contracts, follows accepted transitions, fetches artifacts, and replays deterministic admission.

A clean validator installation should be able to:

• discover the current bundle, epoch context, and state root from Base;
• follow the accepted per-rig CoreTex receipt chain;
• verify the coordinator EIP-712 receipt and contract acceptance;
• verify all downloaded bytes against their committed hashes;
• apply transition artifacts in order;
• rerun the pinned deterministic evaluation;
• reconstruct the same canonical state; and
• export the resolved state for a portable adapter to activate.

The Python validator source and instructions are in the CoreTex client Python package. Install the exact validator wheel from the live kit manifest and verify its hash; a source checkout is not an alternative release authority. The client follows the public activation and accepted transitions.
