Week 15 2026 (Mon Apr 06 - Fri Apr 10, 2026)

status-go/pull/7312 merged — Status Integration milestone nearing completion
Distributed release tests now running end-to-end on GitHub runners, spinning up and tearing down clusters automatically
LIONESS block cipher implemented and hidden services over Mix generalized to support any service type

achieved:
- final tweaks in status-go/pull/7312 - MERGED!
- testing and final updates in the status-go/pull/7332 - ready for the second review of the infra team
next:
- merging status-go/pull/7332
- prepering the final PR that adds support for logos-storage (the PR content has largerly been prepared - only some final tweaking is needed in response to the changes made in status-go/pull/7312 and status-go/pull/7332) - needs status-go/pull/7332 to be merged first

achieved:
- “Distributed” release tests are now working on Github runners. The tests setup and teardown a cluster as part of the release workflow.
next:
- Rename Codex > Logos Storage, including infra repo and docker images
- Collect release tests logs for nodes in cluster — possibly move to Google Cloud as it collects logs automatically instead of having to ship them to kibana when using Digital Ocean.
- Distributed tests gap analysis
- Formulate and add additional tests to the suite

achieved:
- Review mix related documents:
- Document on the Sphinx payload problem and explanation of LIONESS bock cipher.
- Implementation of the LIONESS block cipher improving the existing one as described in the notes above.
- Continued to work on logos-storage hidden services over Mix:
  - Generalized the approach for any type of service (not limited to storage)
  - Researched intro points and hidden service descriptors.
next:
- Continue the discussion on Sphinx payload problem.
- Improve the LIONESS reference implementation, double check its correctness, and write up specifications for it and its use in the mix protocol.
- Continue to work on logos-storage hidden services over Mix: write down specification and details of intro points, descriptors, and how SURBs can be encoded for direct client-service communication.

achieved:
- Fix tests in the module builder
- Complete the move to module builder here and here
- Update the Logos UI to the last version of Logos Storage Module (module builder update included)
- Deep analysis to try to understand the root cause of the log file issue
- Cleanup code and dependencies in logos storage nim
- Start Autonat implementation
next:
- Continue on NAT Traversal implementation
