5. Build and run your validator, incorporating the scheduler binary you just downloaded.

2. Share diagnostics log after first leader turn

Please share the output of this command after your first leader turn on a Rakurai validator:

date; for p in "block time" "Banking packet delay" "rakurai_status"; do line=$(grep "$p" <LOG_FILE> | tail -n1); echo "$p: ${line:-not found}"; done

Replace <LOG_FILE> with your actual log file name.
