Gonka 网络社区测试实验室 external-test-lab：4 个月试点公开成果
paranjko/external-test-lab
Gonka 治理批准的 4 个月社区测试试点 external-test-lab 公开其成果，涵盖社区 DevNet、突发 GPU 测试、外部测试团队，以及 broker 的 OpenAI 兼容技能（openai-host-compat、openai-responses-adapter）和 DevShard gateway 4.1.1 独立部署指南。
Community-owned testing function for the Gonka network: protocol upgrades, DevShards, inference flows, host/broker operations, and geographically distributed network behavior — validated before governance decisions and production rollout.
This repository hosts the public artifacts of the 4-month pilot approved by Gonka governance.

What is being built
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Community DevNet | Small always-on geographically distributed network for protocol, node, DevShard, and operational testing. Hosts connecting their own nodes are welcome. |
| Burst GPU testing | Temporary rental of large GPU capacity for release-candidate, model-compatibility, and load tests. Usage itemized in monthly reports. |
| External Testing Team | Two QA / infrastructure testing engineers validating pre-release builds, DevShards, and deliverables from external teams. See the role archive. |
Broker OpenAI compatibility
Specs for each broker's OpenAI HTTP proxy, before the inference gateway.
Two independent skills (folder names match YAML name):
| Chat Completions host-compat | skills/openai-host-compat/ |
Responses adapter (POST /v1/responses) |
skills/openai-responses-adapter/ |
Install (one or both; not --all as the default):
npx skills add paranjko/external-test-lab --skill openai-host-compat npx skills add paranjko/external-test-lab --skill openai-responses-adapter

Folders are created together with their first real artifact — an absent folder means the milestone that delivers it has not been reached yet.
Reporting and transparency
- Monthly public reports cover deliverables, incidents, spending by budget line, remaining balance, and next-month plan. Reports are posted here and linked in discussion #1388.
- Release-readiness and DevShard validation reports are published when testable artifacts are provided per the handoff requirements in the proposal.
- Security-sensitive findings follow the private disclosure process in SECURITY.md.
- Unused funds at the end of the pilot are returned to the Community Pool, per the proposal and the escrow contract terms.
Ownership and handoff
This repository is community-owned by intent. It is planned to be transferred to the gonka-ai organization (or another community-designated home) as part of the pilot handoff. Owner model, emergency access, and handoff procedure will be documented in docs/handoff.md during the pilot.
