What

Line-by-line fact-check of README.md against the current source (master 945e1b3a). Verified every factual claim; corrected the 9 that had drifted. Docs-only.

Corrections (each backed by source)

README Was Now Evidence
log_level default INFO trace main_ltc.cpp:470 help "(default: trace)", :623 empty=trace, log.cpp:82 fallback
LTC header-checkpoint 3079000:862daf… 3088000:4a7fc8d4… main_ltc.cpp:582
DOGE header-checkpoint 6140000:743b7e… 6160000:51efd04d… main_ltc.cpp:583
Defaults: LTC/DOGE bootstrap 3,079,000 / 6,140,000 3,088,000 / 6,160,000 same as above
--doge-testnet4alpha YAML key -- (none) doge_testnet4alpha main_ltc.cpp:1145
DGB Scrypt parent (intro + status) "planned" / "Planned" "in development" c2pool-dgb target (CMakeLists.txt:221), 1211-line main_dgb.cpp, dgb-phase-b-smoke CI
Test suite count "501 tests passing" "1,875 test cases across 194 suites" actual gtest count (0 DISABLED); 501 appears nowhere in test code

Verified accurate (unchanged)

The rest of the README checked out against source and was left alone: the full ~53-row config reference table (CLI flags, YAML keys, defaults), all 15 API-endpoint routes (web_server.cpp), ports (9326/9327/8080, testnet 19326/19327), the four operating modes + flags, merged-coin registry + chain_ids (DOGE 98, PEP 63, BELLS 16, LKY 8211, JKC 8224, SHIC 74), bootstrap host list (ml.toom.im, usa.p2p-spb.xyz + 9 IPs), coinbase byte layout, build targets, authority-blob util args, platform/Boost/compiler versions, and license.

Method

Five parallel verification passes over the source, each required to cite a contradicting file:line before flagging a claim (no guessing); the two headline changes (log default, test count) were independently re-verified. Docs-only — no code paths touched.

…ints, DGB status, test count

Verified every factual claim against src/. Corrections:
- log_level default: INFO -> trace (main_ltc.cpp:470/623, log.cpp:82)
- LTC header-checkpoint default: 3079000 -> 3088000 (main_ltc.cpp:582)
- DOGE header-checkpoint default: 6140000 -> 6160000 (main_ltc.cpp:583)
- defaults table LTC/DOGE bootstrap heights updated to match
- --doge-testnet4alpha: add YAML key doge_testnet4alpha (main_ltc.cpp:1145)
- DGB Scrypt parent: 'planned' -> 'in development' (c2pool-dgb target, main_dgb.cpp, dgb CI)
- test count: '501 tests passing' -> '1,875 test cases across 194 suites' (actual gtest count)

All other claims (config table ~53 rows, API routes, ports, coin chain_ids,
build targets, platforms, license) verified accurate; unchanged.
