Record miner burn as TAO outflow in coinbase#2692
Conversation
When the SN-owner-hotkey path skips a miner incentive (and the alpha is then recycled or burned), reflect the corresponding TAO leaving the pool by calling record_tao_outflow. The skipped incentive is denominated in alpha, so it is valued at the current spot price for the outflow accounting (no swap occurs, so no slippage applies).

🛡️ AI Review — Skeptic (security review)VERDICT: SAFE BASELINE scrutiny: established write-permission contributor; no Gittensor allowlist hit; branch unconst/miner-burn-tao-outflow -> devnet-ready. The PR touches one pallet runtime file and does not modify FindingsNo findings. Prior-comment reconciliation
ConclusionNo malicious intent or security vulnerability found in the current diff. The previous accounting issue is addressed and I found no new panic, overflow, origin-bypass, supply-chain, or trust-file risk. 📜 Previous run (superseded)
🔍 AI Review — Auditor (domain review)VERDICT: 👎 Write-permission opentensor contributor with substantial prior history; no Gittensor allowlist match found, so standard duplicate-work scrutiny applied. PR body is substantive and matches the implementation. I checked the overlapping open PRs listed in the pre-fetched context (#2659, #2645, #2638, #2603, #2505); they touch the same file but do not implement this miner-burn TAO-flow accounting, so none is a better duplicate candidate. No auto-fixes were applied. The devnet spec-version RPC could not be resolved from this environment, so I could not safely determine whether an automatic Findings
ConclusionThe accounting direction looks plausible, but the new storage mutation is inside the coinbase |

[HIGH] Avoid per-hotkey SubnetTaoFlow writes in on_initialize
run_coinbase is reached from the pallet on_initialize hook, which returns a fixed weight. This new record_tao_outflow call mutates SubnetTaoFlow once for every owner-associated hotkey skipped by the incentives loop. OwnedHotkeys is stored as an unbounded Vec, and the skip count is only indirectly bounded by registered UIDs, so this adds loop-amplified DB IO without updating the hook weight.
Aggregate the TAO equivalent into a local total and call record_tao_outflow(netuid, total) once after the incentives loop, or update the hook weight to cover the actual worst case. This should also get a targeted coinbase test asserting SubnetTaoFlow decreases by the expected spot-price TAO equivalent for skipped owner hotkey incentives.
