For logging purposes, I added code to handle negative time till start. I forgot
to only sleep on positive time till start.
Should fix the recent CI failure.
It was improperly implemented, as it assumed rounds had a constant time
interval, which they do not. It also is against the spec and was meant to
absolve us of issues with poor performance when post-starting blockchains. The
new, and much more proper, workaround for the latter is a 120-second delay
between the Substrate time and the Tributary start time.
By default, tokio-spawned worker panics will only kill the task, not the
program. Due to our extensive use of panicking on invariants, we should ensure
the program exits.
It's largely unoptimized, and not yet exclusive to validators, yet has basic
sanity (using message content for ID instead of sender + index).
Fixes bugs as found. Notably, we used a time in milliseconds where the
Tributary expected seconds.
Also has Tributary::new jump to the presumed round number. This reduces slashes
when starting new chains (whose times will be before the current time) and was
the only way I was able to observe successful confirmations given current
surrounding infrastructure.
The Processor's coins folder referred to the networks it could process, as did
its Coin trait. This, and other similar cases throughout the codebase, have now
been corrected.
Also corrects dated documentation for a key pair is confirmed under the
validator-sets pallet.
This probably should be done with n-long lived tasks, one per Tributary. While
this may not be suitably performant long-term (potential DoS vector), this at
least resolves the halting concerns.
Reduces lock contention.
Additionally changes block_key to include the genesis. While not technically
needed, the lack of genesis introduced a side effect where any Tributary on the
the database could return the block of any other Tributary. While that wasn't a
security issue, returning it suggested it was on-chain when it wasn't. This may
have been usable to create issues.
We had a race condition where'd we be informed of blocks 1 .. 3, and
immediately add 1 .. 3. Because we immediately tried to add 2 after 1, it'd
fail since the tip was still the genesis, yet 2 needs the tip to be 1.
Adding a channel, while ugly, was the simplest way to accomplish this.
Also has any added block be broadcasted. Else there's a race condition where a
node which syncs up to the most recent block does so, yet fails to add the next
block when it's committed to.
This defines the tart of a very complex series of locks I'm really unhappy
with. At the same time, there's not immediately a better solution. This also
should work without issue.
add_active_tributary writes the spec to disk before it returns, so even if the
VecDeque it pushes to isn't popped, the tributary will still be loaded on boot.
