Weekly development report as of 2026-09-25

CORE TECHNOLOGY This week, the consensus team made several improvements to the Leios prototype. They rewrote the download decision logic so nodes bound both the time and memory spent on pending downloads, prioritize the newest endorser blocks, and avoid saturating the same peer with concurrent requests.
