  "notes": "EPISODE 1 (2026-10-27). Nothing had run before. Budget: 80 items, 8 episodes; this episode spends 10 items (3 spec-list + 2 known-issues + 5 review-pilot), leaving 70.\n\nWHAT I ESTABLISHED MYSELF (from the meta EIP page, to seed batches without burning an episode): EIP-7773 'Glamsterdam' lists Scheduled for Inclusion: 2780 (resource-based intrinsic gas), 7688 (forward-compatible consensus data structures), 7708 (ETH transfers emit a log), 7732 (enshrined PBS, CL fork Gloas), 7778 (block gas accounting without refunds), 7843 (SLOTNUM), 7928 (block-level access lists, BAL), 7954 (max contract size), 7976 (calldata floor cost), 7981 (access list cost), 7997 (deterministic factory contract), 8024 (SWAPN/DUPN/EXCHANGE), 8037 (state creation gas), 8038 (state-access gas), 8045 (exclude slashed validators from proposing), 8061 (exit/consolidation churn), 8246 (remove SELFDESTRUCT burn), 8282 (builder execution requests). Networking EIPs (not in scope unless time remains): 7975 eth/70, 8070 eth/72, 8136, 8159 eth/71, 8189 snap/2. Activations: Sepolia epoch 353024 (2026-10-06), Hoodi epoch 132352 (2026-10-26), mainnet blank. execution-specs master has src/ethereum/forks/amsterdam (block_access_lists.py, fork.py, transactions.py, vm/). consensus-specs master has specs/gloas (beacon-chain.md, builder.md, fork.md, fork-choice.md, p2p-interface.md, validator.md, fast-confirmation.md). Known-results sources: hive dashboard hive.ethpandaops.io (groups bal-quick, hive-glamsterdam-quick), ethpandaops/hive-tests workflows, execution-specs 'Test Release Tracker' issues (newest seen: tests-glamsterdam-devnet@v8.1.4, EELS branch devnets/glamsterdam/8), ethpandaops notes 'glamsterdam-devnet-8', ethereum/pm ACDT issues. Note from EELS tracker: v8.1.4 added BAL tests for recreated destroyed account reads, max-nonce boundary, non-minimal BAL scalar encoding; benchmarkoor PR 353 says EEST expected BALs did not match geth devnet-8 BALs, and devnet-8 clients reject blocks lacking EIP-8282 predeploys: both are leads for the BAL and 8282 reviews.\n\nWHY THIS SHAPE: an earlier attempt at this episode was rejected (runtime_error, content flagged as cybersecurity risk). Briefs must stay phrased as public spec-conformance review: no exploit, attack or proof-of-concept wording, no code to reproduce; ask for 'the block/transaction/state condition under which the client's result differs from the spec'. Keep that phrasing in every later brief.\n\nBATCHES THIS EPISODE: spec-list (3 items: el, cl, devnet) gives the authoritative EIP list with spec file paths, pinned commits, release tags, and which EIPs are already live on mainnet. known-issues (2 items: el-clients, cl-clients) indexes public issues/PRs/hive/EEST failures per client per EIP so later reviews can mark 'known'. review-pilot (5 items: geth-7928, reth-7928, nethermind-8037, lighthouse-7732, teku-7732) tests the per-client review brief.\n\nNEXT EPISODE: read the pilot results. If candidates cite spec sentence + file:line at pinned commit + condition + cross-client comparison + known-check, reuse the brief verbatim in wide batches. Planned coverage (one item per client per EIP group, ~27 items): EL gas group (2780, 7778, 7976, 7981, 8037, 8038, 8246) x5 clients; BAL 7928 x remaining 3 EL clients (besu, nethermind, erigon); small-EL group (7708, 7843, 7954, 7997, 8024) x5; ePBS 7732+8282 x remaining 4 CL clients (prysm, nimbus, lodestar, grandine) plus EL-side engine API/8282 x5 EL clients; CL misc (7688, 8045, 8061) x6. Then one batch of 'disprove' items on the strongest candidates (each item: one candidate, worker tries to show it is not a divergence, citing spec and code), then finish. Reserve ~10 items for disproof and ~5 for re-runs. If spec-list reports an EIP as already live on mainnet, items for it report only 'affects live code, details withheld'. If a brief is refused, check wording for anything resembling attack language first.",
