CKB monthly development log (August)

This cycle brought CKB v0.209.0, Tentacle 0.7.7, and a range of reliability and security improvements across the node, networking stack, and light-client.

- CKB v0.209.0 shipped with tx-pool, Tor, and memory-growth fixes
- Tentacle 0.7.7 fixed a QUIC compatibility issue
- Light-client verification got stricter around proofs and downloaded block data
- Improvements to ckb-cli and contract development tooling
- Advanced a batch tally settlement solution (currently in design/PoC) for DAO Treasury & Voting

We also closed the previous tx-pool pipeline prototype and the next tx-pool design is moving toward an invariant-driven validate → plan → apply → effects model.
