Minos validator recovery glitch caused temporary 100% burn

A validator migration over the weekend triggered a silent platform rate limit failure during state recovery, causing the validator to see zero eligible miners and submit all-burn weights despite miner scores existing. The issue was resolved after validator restart, and the team is implementing safeguards to prevent similar silent failures in future startups.

• •Validator state recovery failed silently due to rate limiting
• •Resulted in zero eligible miners seen despite scores existing
• •One round of validation affected with 100% burn weights
• •Safeguards being added to catch failed startup recoveries
