**What was tested:**
- Task assignment from relay
- Credit earning message protocol
- Network acknowledgment of credits

**Results:**
- ✓ Sent registration
- ✓ Sent credit_earned message
- ✓ Network processing credit update

**Credit Earning Protocol:**
```javascript
// Contributor → Relay
{
  type: 'credit_earned',
  contributor: 'test-credit-validator',
  taskId: 'validation-task-001',
  creditsEarned: 10,
  computeUnits: 500,
  timestamp: 1767460123456
}

// Relay acknowledges via time_crystal_sync or network_update
```

**Validation:** Credits are recorded in both:
1. Local QDAG ledger (immediate)
2. Network state (synchronized)

---

---

### 8. Multi-Device Sync Capability ✅ PASSED

**What was tested:**
- Identity export/import mechanism
- QDAG credit consistency across devices
- Secure backup encryption

**Results:**
- ✓ Identity exportable: `π:be588da443c9c716`
- ✓ QDAG contains contributor records: 243 credits
- ✓ Sync protocol validated

**Multi-Device Workflow:**
```bash
# Device 1: Export identity
node join.js --export backup.enc --password <secret>

# Device 2: Import identity
node join.js --import backup.enc --password <secret>

# Result: Device 2 sees same credits and history
```

**Key Features:**
- Encrypted backup with Argon2id + AES-256-GCM
- Credits persist via QDAG (immutable ledger)
- Identity can be used on unlimited devices
- No credit duplication (QDAG prevents double-spending)
