System Overview + +stellar-core is the C++ reference implementation of the Stellar network consensus node. It validates transactions, participates in the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), maintains the canonical ledger state, publishes history to archives, and (since protocol v20) hosts the Soroban smart-contract runtime via a Rust FFI bridge. + +**Language mix:** ~95% C++17 (core), ~5% Rust (Soroban host, crypto primitives, module cache).

Architecture Overview + +### Application as Root Object + +`Application` (abstract interface) / `ApplicationImpl` (concrete) is the root of the entire object graph. It owns every subsystem manager via `unique_ptr` and orchestrates the startup/shutdown lifecycle. + +Owned managers (created in `ApplicationImpl::initialize()`): +- `LedgerManager` — ledger close/apply pipeline +- `LedgerApplyManager` — catchup coordination +- `Herder` / `HerderImpl` — SCP driver, tx queues +- `BucketManager` — BucketList state, merges, snapshots +- `HistoryManager` — checkpoint construction and publication +- `HistoryArchiveManager` — archive configuration +- `OverlayManager` — P2P networking +- `InvariantManager` — runtime invariant checks +- `DatabasePool` — SQL database connections +- `WorkScheduler` — cooperative async task scheduler +- `ProcessManager` — external subprocess management +- `CommandHandler` / `QueryServer` — HTTP admin and query endpoints +- `StatusManager` — status reporting +- `PersistentState` — key-value store in the database + +### Event Loop + +The main event loop is driven by `VirtualClock::crank()`: + +1. Dispatch expired timers (VirtualTimer callbacks). +2. Poll ASIO for I/O completions (network, file handles). +3. Run one action from the `Scheduler` (LAS/FB fair multi-queue scheduler). +4. Transfer items from the thread-safe pending queue (cross-thread posts) into the scheduler. + +In `VIRTUAL_TIME` mode (tests/simulation), time advances to the next event when idle, enabling deterministic fast-forward execution. + +The `Scheduler` implements Least-Attained-Service scheduling: multiple named queues each track cumulative runtime, and the queue with the lowest total runs next. Under overload (queue latency > 5s window), droppable actions are shed. + +### Configuration + +`Config` is a value object loaded from TOML. Key parameters include: `PEER_PORT`, `HTTP_PORT`, `DATABASE` (connection string), `BUCKET_DIR_PATH`, `HISTORY` (archive definitions), `QUORUM_SET`, `NETWORK_PASSPHRASE`, `WORKER_THREADS`, `MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES`, and dozens of tuning knobs. `Config::adjust()` normalizes dependent settings. + +--- + +## 3. Core Subsystems + +### 3.1 SCP — Stellar Consensus Protocol + +Implementation of Federated Byzantine Agreement in `src/scp/`. Operates in two phases: + +1. **Nomination** — Proposes candidate values. A node nominates its own values and accepts/confirms values from peers via federated voting (`federatedAccept` / `federatedRatify` over quorum slices). Nomination produces a composite value. + +2. **Ballot** — Drives the network to agree on a single value. Uses a two-phase commit: `prepare` → `confirm` → `externalize`. Ballot numbers monotonically increase; a node may abort a ballot and try a higher one. When a ballot is externalized, the slot is decided. + +Key classes: +- `SCP` — top-level interface, owns `LocalNode` and slot map. +- `SCPDriver` (abstract) — callback interface implemented by `HerderSCPDriver`. +- `Slot` — per-ledger-sequence state: nomination + ballot protocol state machines. +- `LocalNode` — this node's identity, quorum set, quorum intersection checking. +- `QuorumTracker` / `QuorumIntersectionChecker` — Tarjan SCC-based quorum analysis. + +### 3.2 Herder — SCP Driver and Transaction Management + +`HerderImpl` is the concrete `SCPDriver` that bridges SCP consensus to ledger management. Key responsibilities: + +- **Transaction queuing**: `TransactionQueue` (classic) and `SorobanTransactionQueue` manage pending transactions with per-source-account flood limits, surge pricing, and age-based eviction. +- **Consensus value production**: `TxSetFrame` / `GeneralizedTxSetFrame` constructs valid transaction sets respecting resource limits. `ApplicableTxSetFrame` is the validated, ready-to-apply form. +- **SCP envelope handling**: `PendingEnvelopes` buffers envelopes, fetches missing tx sets/quorum sets via overlay. +- **Upgrade mechanism**: `Upgrades` / `LedgerUpgrade` proposes and applies network parameter changes (protocol version, base reserve, max tx set size, Soroban config). +- **Externalization**: When SCP externalizes a slot, `valueExternalized()` constructs a `LedgerCloseData` and passes it to `LedgerApplyManager::processLedger()`. + +### 3.3 Ledger — State Management and Close Pipeline + +The ledger subsystem manages the authoritative ledger state and the close/apply pipeline. + +**LedgerManager** orchestrates ledger closing: +1. `closeLedger(lcd)` — receives externalized data from Herder. +2. `applyLedger()` — applies the transaction set to produce the next ledger state. +3. Inner apply sequence: `processFeesSeqNums()` → `applyTransactions()` (sequential classic + parallel Soroban) → `applyUpgrades()` → `sealLedgerTxn()` → commit to DB → `advanceLedgerState()` (advance BucketList) → trigger history checkpoint if appropriate. + +**LedgerTxn** — Transactional ledger state access layer. `LedgerTxnRoot` wraps the persistent store (DB or BucketListDB). Nested `LedgerTxn` instances form a tree; commit propagates changes upward, rollback discards them. `LedgerTxnEntry` / `ConstLedgerTxnEntry` provide handle-based access with invalidation semantics. + +**InMemorySorobanState** — In-memory cache of all Soroban ledger entries (ContractData, ContractCode) for fast lookup during Soroban tx execution, avoiding DB round-trips. + +**SorobanNetworkConfig** — Cached Soroban network configuration (CPU/memory limits, fee params, state archival settings). Loaded from ledger entries at startup and updated on protocol upgrades. + +### 3.4 BucketList — Canonical State Store + +An LSM-tree data structure providing the canonical serialization of all ledger state. Two independent bucket lists: + +- **LiveBucketList** — active ledger entries (accounts, trustlines, offers, contract data, etc.). 11 levels with geometrically increasing sizes (level L stores entries modified within the last `2^(2*(L+1))` ledgers). +- **HotArchiveBucketList** — recently archived/deleted Soroban entries. Same level structure. + +Key components: +- **BucketManager** — owns both bucket lists, manages the bucket directory, merge scheduling, garbage collection, temp/live bucket tracking, and the `BucketSnapshotManager`. +- **FutureBucket** — represents an in-progress async merge, resolved on a worker thread. Each level's `snap` slot may have an active `FutureBucket`. +- **BucketIndex** — per-bucket hash-indexed lookup structure (range index + individual key index) for BucketListDB point queries. Supports `BinaryFuseFilter` for fast negative membership tests. +- **BucketSnapshotManager** — provides thread-safe read-only snapshots of the bucket list for queries (main thread, background eviction thread, overlay thread). +- **Eviction** — background scanning of the LiveBucketList to evict expired Soroban entries and produce eviction iterators for the HotArchiveBucketList. + +### 3.5 Overlay — P2P Networking + +Manages TCP connections to peers and message flooding. + +- **OverlayManager** — owns the `PeerManager` (peer database), `FloodGate`, and `SurveyManager`. Optionally runs network I/O on a dedicated overlay thread. +- **Peer** / **TCPPeer** — per-connection state: HMAC-authenticated messaging over TCP, read/write queues with flow control. +- **Authentication**: ECDH key exchange (Curve25519) → shared key → HMAC-SHA256 MAC on every message. `PeerAuth` manages the handshake. +- **Flow control**: Capacity-based system where a peer advertises available capacity for flood messages and reading messages. `FlowControl` tracks per-peer capacity and throttles sends. +- **Transaction flooding**: Pull-mode (v23+): nodes send `StellarMessage::TX_ADVERT` containing tx hashes; receivers send `TX_DEMAND` for missing hashes; sender responds with full tx. The `FloodGate` manages demand tracking, deduplication, and retry. +- **SurveyManager** — network topology surveys for monitoring. + +### 3.6 History — Archive Publication and Catchup + +**Publication pipeline** (every 64 ledgers): +1. `CheckpointBuilder` incrementally writes ledger headers, transactions, and results to XDR streams during ledger close. +2. At checkpoint boundary: `HistoryManager::maybeQueueHistoryCheckpoint()` snapshots the BucketList into a `HistoryArchiveState` (HAS) and queues it. +3. After commit: dirty files are renamed to final names (atomic durability). +4. `takeSnapshotAndPublish()` schedules: `ResolveSnapshotWork` → `WriteSnapshotWork` (gzip) → `PutSnapshotFilesWork` (upload via shell commands). + +**Catchup** (when a node falls behind): +1. `LedgerApplyManager` detects gap, buffers incoming ledgers in `mSyncingLedgers`, triggers online catchup. +2. `CatchupWork` orchestrates: fetch remote HAS → compute `CatchupRange` → download and verify ledger chain (hash-chain verification from trusted SCP hash backward) → download and apply buckets → download and replay transactions → drain buffered ledgers. +3. Key work classes: `VerifyLedgerChainWork` (backward hash-chain verification), `ApplyBucketsWork` (bucket-to-DB restore), `DownloadApplyTxsWork` (per-checkpoint download+apply with ConditionalWork sequencing), `ApplyBufferedLedgersWork`. + +### 3.7 Database + +SOCI-based SQL abstraction supporting SQLite and PostgreSQL. + +- **DatabasePool** — pool of `Database` sessions. One primary session for main-thread use, additional sessions from the pool for worker threads. +- **Dual-database architecture** (SQLite only): main database for ledger state, misc database for historical data (SCP messages, peer records). Reduces I/O contention. +- **Schema versioning**: `PersistentState` stores `databaseschema` version; `upgradeToCurrentSchema()` runs DDL migrations on startup. +- **BucketListDB mode** (v23+): replaces SQL-based ledger entry storage with BucketList point lookups, using SQL only for offers (order book) and other specialized queries. + +### 3.8 Transactions — Processing Pipeline + +Complete transaction processing from parsing to application. + +**Transaction frame hierarchy:** +``` +TransactionFrameBase (abstract) +├── TransactionFrame (regular V0/V1 transactions) +└── FeeBumpTransactionFrame (fee bump wrapping inner TransactionFrame) +``` + +**Operation frame hierarchy** — 23+ concrete operation types: +- Classic: `CreateAccountOpFrame`, `PaymentOpFrame`, `PathPaymentStrictReceiveOpFrame`, `PathPaymentStrictSendOpFrame`, `ManageSellOfferOpFrame`, `ManageBuyOfferOpFrame`, `CreatePassiveSellOfferOpFrame`, `SetOptionsOpFrame`, `ChangeTrustOpFrame`, `AllowTrustOpFrame`, `SetTrustLineFlagsOpFrame`, `MergeOpFrame`, `InflationOpFrame`, `ManageDataOpFrame`, `BumpSequenceOpFrame`, plus claimable balance, sponsorship, clawback, and liquidity pool operations. +- Soroban: `InvokeHostFunctionOpFrame`, `ExtendFootprintTTLOpFrame`, `RestoreFootprintOpFrame`. + +**Transaction lifecycle:** +1. **Deserialization**: `TransactionFrameBase::makeTransactionFromWire()` constructs frame hierarchy. +2. **Validation** (`checkValid`): XDR depth check → fee validation → signatures → sequence number → per-op validation. +3. **Fee processing** (`processFeeSeqNum`): deducts fee from source account, consumes sequence number. +4. **Application** (`apply`): per-op `doApply()` in nested LedgerTxn with commit/rollback. +5. **Post-apply**: Soroban fee refunds, result finalization. + +**DEX exchange**: `exchangeV10()` computes exact crossing amounts with rounding rules. `convertWithOffersAndPools()` iterates the order book and liquidity pools. + +**Parallel apply** (Soroban, v23+): Transactions grouped into `ApplyStage`s of non-overlapping `Cluster`s. Clusters run on separate threads with scoped ledger state (`GlobalParallelApplyLedgerState` → `ThreadParallelApplyLedgerState` → `TxParallelApplyLedgerState`). Compile-time scope tags prevent cross-scope reads. + +### 3.9 Crypto + +- **Hashing**: SHA-256 (libsodium, primary), BLAKE2 (bucket hashing for BinaryFuseFilter). +- **Signatures**: Ed25519 via libsodium (C++) and ed25519-dalek (Rust). Signature verification cache (`VerifySigCache`) avoids redundant verification during flooding. +- **Key exchange**: Curve25519 ECDH for peer authentication. +- **Key encoding**: StrKey format (base32 with version byte and CRC16 checksum) for public keys, secret keys, pre-auth tx hashes, hash-x, signed payloads, and contract IDs. +- **HMAC**: SHA-256 HMAC for authenticated peer messaging. +- **Soroban crypto** (Rust host): Ed25519, ECDSA (secp256k1/secp256r1), SHA-256, Keccak-256, BLS12-381, BN254, Poseidon hashes — all budget-metered. + +### 3.10 Work — Cooperative Async Framework + +The work subsystem provides a cooperative, single-threaded, FSM-based task framework for long-running operations (catchup, publication, downloads). + +- **BasicWork** — base FSM with states: `PENDING`, `RUNNING`, `WAITING`, `RETRYING`, `SUCCESS`, `FAILURE`, `ABORTED`. Supports exponential-backoff retries. +- **Work** — extends BasicWork with child management (hierarchical work trees, round-robin child scheduling). +- **WorkScheduler** — top-level scheduler owned by Application; posts cranks to the ASIO event loop. +- **WorkSequence** — strict sequential execution of a vector of work items. +- **BatchWork** — parallel batched execution throttled by `MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES`. +- **ConditionalWork** — gates execution on a monotonic condition (used extensively in catchup for sequencing dependencies). + +### 3.11 Process Management + +`ProcessManager` spawns external subprocesses (gzip, gunzip, curl, archive shell commands) asynchronously. Uses `posix_spawnp` on POSIX. Each `ProcessExitEvent` carries an exit code and is delivered via ASIO timer polling. Throttled by `MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES`. + +### 3.12 Invariants + +Runtime correctness checking framework with 12+ invariant implementations. Enabled in debug/test builds. Each invariant implements `checkOnOperationApply()` and/or `checkAfterAssumeState()`. + +Key invariants: +- `ConservationOfLumens` — total XLM is conserved across ledger closes. +- `LedgerEntryIsValid` — structural validity of all modified entries. +- `AccountSubEntriesCountIsValid` — sub-entry bookkeeping consistency. +- `SponsorshipCountIsValid` — sponsorship reserve accounting. +- `BucketListIsConsistentWithDatabase` — BucketList matches SQL state. +- `LiabilitiesMatchOffers` — offer liabilities match reserve tracking. +- `MinimumAccountBalance` — accounts maintain minimum reserve. +- `SorobanImpliedLedgerBoundsAreValid` — Soroban TTL/archival bounds. + +### 3.13 Simulation + +In-process multi-node simulation for integration testing and benchmarking. + +- `Simulation` — creates multiple `Application` instances connected via `LoopbackPeer`. Supports various topologies (1-node, 2-node, core+watcher, hierarchical quorums). +- `LoadGenerator` — generates synthetic transactions (create accounts, payments, Soroban uploads/invocations, DEX operations) for stress testing. +- `ApplyLoad` — benchmarks parallel Soroban transaction application. +- `TxGenerator` — lower-level tx construction for load generation with account state tracking. + +--- + +## 4. Threading Model + +stellar-core uses a primarily single-threaded architecture with selective parallelism: + +### Main Thread +All state mutations and coordination happen on the main thread. The `VirtualClock::crank()` loop drives timers, I/O, and scheduled actions. Cross-thread work is posted via `VirtualClock::postAction()` (mutex-protected pending queue → scheduler). `threadIsMain()` assertions guard critical sections. + +### Worker Thread Pool +CPU-bound tasks run on a pool of `WORKER_THREADS` threads (default from config). Uses `asio::io_context` as a thread-safe work queue. Tasks include: +- BucketList merge operations (`FutureBucket` resolution). +- Bucket indexing (`IndexBucketsWork`). +- Signature verification (batch verification during flooding). +- Background hash computation. + +Results are posted back to the main thread via `postOnMainThread()`. + +### Eviction Thread +A dedicated thread scans the LiveBucketList for expired Soroban entries. Reads from `BucketSnapshotManager` snapshots (thread-safe). Produces eviction iterators consumed by the main thread during ledger close. + +### Overlay Thread (Optional) +When `BACKGROUND_OVERLAY_PROCESSING` is enabled, TCP I/O and message processing run on a separate thread. Uses `OverlayAppConnector` to safely post results to the main thread. + +### Ledger Close Thread (Optional) +When parallel ledger close is enabled, `applyLedger()` runs on a dedicated thread while the main thread continues with SCP. Coordination via `std::promise`/`std::future` and `postOnMainThread()`. + +### Soroban Parallel Apply Threads (v23+) +During ledger close, Soroban transactions in non-overlapping clusters run on separate threads. The `GlobalParallelApplyLedgerState` → `ThreadParallelApplyLedgerState` → `TxParallelApplyLedgerState` hierarchy enforces ownership discipline with compile-time scope tags. + +### Thread Safety Annotations +Clang thread-safety annotations (`GUARDED_BY`, `REQUIRES`, `ACQUIRE`, `RELEASE`) are used extensively. Custom mutex wrappers (`Mutex`, `SharedMutex`, `RecursiveMutex`) carry annotations. `releaseAssert(threadIsMain())` guards main-thread-only code. + +--- + +## 5.

Cross-Cutting Concerns + +### 7.1 XDR Type System + +All on-wire and on-disk data structures are defined in `.x` XDR files under `src/protocol-curr/xdr/`. The `xdrpp` code generator produces C++ types with serialization, comparison, and visitor support. Key type families: + +- **Ledger entries**: `AccountEntry`, `TrustLineEntry`, `OfferEntry`, `DataEntry`, `ClaimableBalanceEntry`, `LiquidityPoolEntry`, `ContractDataEntry`, `ContractCodeEntry`, `ConfigSettingEntry`, `TTLEntry` +- **Transactions**: `TransactionEnvelope` (V0/V1/FeeBump), `TransactionResult`, `TransactionMeta` +- **SCP**: `SCPEnvelope`, `SCPStatement`, `SCPQuorumSet`, `SCPBallot` +- **Overlay**: `StellarMessage`, `Hello`, `Auth`, `PeerAddress` +- **Soroban**: `SorobanResources`, `SorobanTransactionData`, `InvokeContractArgs`, `SCVal`, `SCAddress` +- **BucketList**: `BucketEntry`, `HotArchiveBucketEntry`, `BucketMetadata` + +### 7.2 Protocol Version Gating + +Extensive version-gated code paths across all subsystems. The `ProtocolVersion` enum (`V_0` through `V_26`) with comparison helpers (`protocolVersionIsBefore`, `protocolVersionStartsFrom`) provides safe version checks. Major gates: + +| Version | Feature | +|---------|---------| +| v10 | Sequence number processing moved to apply time | +| v13 | Envelope V0 deprecated, one-time signer changes | +| v18 | BinaryFuseFilter bucket indexes | +| v19 | PreconditionsV2, extra signers | +| v20 | Soroban smart contracts | +| v21 | Hot archive bucket list | +| v23 | Parallel Soroban apply, fee bump inner fee relaxation, BucketListDB | +| v25 | Soroban memo/muxed restrictions | + +### 7.3 Metrics and Observability + +`medida::MetricsRegistry` + `SimpleTimer` for lightweight performance tracking. Metrics exported via `/metrics` HTTP endpoint. Key metric categories: ledger close timing, SCP round duration, overlay message counts, bucket merge timing, catchup progress, tx queue sizes. + +`LogSlowExecution` — RAII guard that logs warnings when a scope exceeds a time threshold. + +`StatusManager` — aggregates status by category for the `/info` endpoint. + +### 7.4 Numeric Safety + +All financial calculations use safe arithmetic from `numeric.h`: +- `bigDivide(A, B, C, rounding)` — computes `A*B/C` via 128-bit intermediate. +- `saturatingMultiply`/`saturatingAdd` — cap at max instead of overflowing. +- `Rounding::ROUND_DOWN`/`ROUND_UP` — explicit rounding direction for all division. +- 128-bit helpers for huge intermediate values. + +### 7.5 Logging + +Partitioned spdlog loggers (~15 partitions: Bucket, Herder, Ledger, Overlay, Tx, SCP, etc.) with per-partition log levels. `CLOG_*` macros with compile-time format string checking. Rust-side logging integrated at `init()`. File rotation support. + +### 7.6 Error Handling Patterns + +- `releaseAssert(e)` — never compiled out, prints backtrace and aborts. +- `releaseAssertOrThrow(e)` — throws `runtime_error` instead of aborting (used in test contexts). +- Transaction failures: typed exceptions (`ex_PAYMENT_UNDERFUNDED`, etc.) for test verification. +- Soroban: `HostError` wraps error code + optional debug info; `ScErrorType::Contract` errors are recoverable via `try_call`, all others propagate. + +--- + +## 8. Soroban Integration + +### 8.1 Architecture + +Soroban executes smart contracts inside a Rust-based runtime (`soroban-env-host`) accessed via x FFI bridge from C++. + +**Rust crate**: `rust/src/` compiled to `librust_stellar_core.a`. The cxx bridge (`lib.rs`) defines shared types and extern functions callable from C++. + +**Key bridge functions** (C++ → Rust): +- `invoke_host_function()` — execute InvokeHostFunction/ExtendTTL/RestoreFootprint +- `compute_transaction_resource_fee()` — fee computation +- `preflight_host_function()` — simulation/preflight for RPC +- `init_logging()` / `check_lockfile_content()` — utilities + +**Key bridge types**: `CxxLedgerInfo`, `CxxLedgerEntry`, `CxxBuf`, `InvokeHostFunctionOutput`, `CxxTransactionResources` + +### 8.2 Host Runtime + +The `Host` (Rc) is the Soroban execution environment: + +- **Val** — universal 64-bit tagged value type crossing the host-guest boundary. Small values (numbers ≤56 bits, symbols ≤9 chars) are packed inline; larger values use host object handles. +- **Object system** — `Vec` indexed by handles. Object handles are absolute (host-side, odd low bit) or relative (per-frame, even low bit) for Wasm isolation. +- **Storage** — `FootprintMode::Recording` (preflight) or `Enforcing` (production). `StorageMap` (metered ordered map) holds entries. +- **Budget** — `Rc>` tracking CPU instructions and memory bytes. Per-cost-type linear models. Shadow mode for diagnostic work. +- **Authorization** — `AuthorizationManager` validates `SorobanAuthorizationEntry` trees against invocation patterns. Supports invoker-contract auth, Stellar account auth, and custom account contracts. +- **Events** — `InternalEventsBuffer` for contract/system/diagnostic events with frame-level rollback. +- **Wasm VM** — `wasmi::Instance` per contract call. `ParsedModule` caches validated modules. Fuel-based metering bridges to Budget. + +### 8.3 Multi-Protocol Host Dispatch + +Different protocol versions use different Soroban host versions. The Rust bridge dispatches to the appropriate host implementation: +- p21-p25 hosts handle older protocol semantics. +- p26 host (`soroban-env-host`) is the current version. +- `SorobanModuleCache` pre-parses and caches Wasm modules per protocol version. + +### 8.4 Built-in Contracts + +- **Stellar Asset Contract (SAC)** — wraps classic Stellar assets as Soroban contracts. Provides `transfer`, `mint`, `burn`, `allowance`, `balance`, `set_admin`, etc. Bridges classic trustline/account state with Soroban contract data entries. +- **Account Contract** — implements `__check_auth` for classic Stellar multisig accounts used as Soroban addresses. + +### 8.5 Parallel Soroban Apply (v23+) + +Soroban transactions declare read/write footprints upfront. The `ApplyStage` / `Cluster` structure groups non-overlapping transactions for parallel execution: + +1. `GlobalParallelApplyLedgerState` collects all modified entries and sets up snapshots. +2. Per stage: clusters distributed to threads, each thread gets `ThreadParallelApplyLedgerState`. +3. Within a cluster: txs applied sequentially, each in `TxParallelApplyLedgerState`. +4. Successful changes committed thread→global; all stages merged into main LedgerTxn. + +--- + +## 9. Testing Infrastructure + +### 9.1 Framework + +Tests use **Catch2** with a custom `SimpleTestReporter`. Test entry point: `runTest()` configures the session, seeds PRNGs, and runs all test cases. + +`getTestConfig(instanceNumber, dbMode)` returns lazily-created cached `Config` objects with test defaults: `RUN_STANDALONE=true`, `FORCE_SCP=true`, `MANUAL_CLOSE=true`, single-node quorum, in-memory SQLite. + +`TestApplication` subclasses `ApplicationImpl` with a `TestInvariantManager` that throws on invariant failure instead of aborting. + +### 9.2 Protocol Version Testing + +- `for_all_versions(app, f)` — run a test function for every protocol version. +- `for_versions(from, to, app, f)` — run for a version range. +- `for_versions_from(from, app, f)` / `for_versions_to(to, app, f)` — run from/to a version. +- `TEST_CASE_VERSIONS` macro — declares a test iterating over CLI-specified versions. + +### 9.3 Test Utilities + +**TestAccount** — high-level account wrapper with methods for all Stellar operations (`create`, `pay`, `changeTrust`, `manageOffer`, etc.) that apply transactions and assert success. + +**TxTests namespace** — extensive helpers: +- `applyTx()` / `applyCheck()` — apply transactions with validation and result checking. +- `closeLedger()` / `closeLedgerOn()` — close ledgers with specific transactions, dates, upgrades. +- Operation builders: `payment()`, `createAccount()`, `changeTrust()`, `manageOffer()`, etc. +- `sorobanTransactionFrameFromOps()` — construct Soroban transactions with resources. +- `feeBump()` — construct fee bump transactions. +- Upgrade helpers: `executeUpgrade()`, `modifySorobanNetworkConfig()`. + +**TestMarket** — tracks DEX offer state for verification. `requireChanges(changes, f)` executes a function and verifies offer state transitions match expectations. + +**TestExceptions** — typed exception hierarchy (`ex_PAYMENT_UNDERFUNDED`, `ex_CREATE_ACCOUNT_MALFORMED`, etc.) for error verification via `REQUIRE_THROWS_AS`. + +### 9.4 Transaction Metadata Recording + +`recordOrCheckGlobalTestTxMetadata()` records or verifies SIPHash of normalized transaction metadata against persistent baselines. Ensures deterministic transaction processing across refactors. + +### 9.5 Fuzzing + +- **TransactionFuzzer** — sets up a minimal ledger state, reads fuzzed XDR operations, builds and applies transactions. +- **OverlayFuzzer** — creates a 2-node simulation, injects fuzzed `StellarMessage` into a peer connection. +- AFL persistent mode support via `__AFL_LOOP`. + +### 9.6 Simulation Testing + +`Simulation` creates multi-node topologies with `LoopbackPeer` connections. `LoadGenerator` produces synthetic workloads. Tests cover consensus convergence, catchup, upgrade propagation, and performance under load. + +--- + +## 10. Key Design Patterns + +### 10.1 Cooperative Single-Threaded Core + +The primary design philosophy: all state mutations happen on the main thread, driven by the event loop. Long-running operations are broken into small "cranks" via the Work FSM framework. This eliminates most synchronization complexity while allowing I/O concurrency through ASIO and selective background work. + +### 10.2 Work FSM Pattern + +All async operations (catchup, publication, downloads) use the `BasicWork` → `Work` hierarchy. State machine transitions (PENDING → RUNNING → WAITING/RETRYING → SUCCESS/FAILURE/ABORTED) with retry logic, hierarchical composition, and notification propagation. `ConditionalWork` gates execution on monotonic conditions; `WorkSequence` enforces ordering; `BatchWork` provides throttled parallelism. + +### 10.3 Transactional State Access (LedgerTxn) + +All ledger state modifications go through `LedgerTxn`, which provides: +- Nested transactions with commit-up / rollback semantics. +- Handle-based entry access with invalidation on parent modification. +- Deferred commit to persistent store (SQL or BucketList). +- Automatic change tracking for transaction metadata. + +### 10.4 Snapshot Isolation + +Thread-safe reads use snapshot isolation: +- `BucketSnapshotManager` provides immutable snapshots of the BucketList for background threads. +- `InMemorySorobanState` provides point-in-time Soroban entry state. +- `GlobalParallelApplyLedgerState` distributes entry ownership across threads with merge-back after completion. + +### 10.5 XDR as Source of Truth + +All data structures crossing persistence boundaries are defined in XDR. The `xdrpp` generator produces type-safe C++ with serialization, comparison, and visitor support. This ensures wire-compatible serialization across implementations and versions. + +### 10.6 Protocol Version Gating + +Every behavior change is gated by protocol version checks. The `ProtocolVersion` enum and comparison functions (`protocolVersionIsBefore`, `protocolVersionStartsFrom`) provide a uniform pattern. Tests use `for_all_versions` / `for_versions` to verify behavior across versions. + +### 10.7 Hierarchical Ownership + +Clear ownership hierarchy rooted at `Application`. Subsystem managers are `unique_ptr`-owned. Shared state uses `shared_ptr` with documented lifetime contracts. Background work captures `weak_ptr` to avoid preventing destruction. + +### 10.8 Scope-Tagged Parallelism + +Parallel Soroban apply uses compile-time scope tags (`GlobalParApply`, `ThreadParApply`, `TxParApply`) on the `LedgerEntryScope` template to prevent accidental cross-scope access. This pattern enforces thread-safety at the type level rather than relying on runtime checks alone. + +### 10.9 Pull-Mode Flooding + +Transaction dissemination uses a bandwidth-efficient pull model (v23+): advertise hashes → demand missing → deliver. This reduces redundant transmission in well-connected networks and enables flow control via capacity-based throttling. + +### 10.10 Checkpoint-Based History + +History is organized in 64-ledger checkpoints with ACID-transactional construction (write-as-dirty, rename-on-commit). Publication is asynchronous via the Work framework. Catchup uses backward hash-chain verification from a trusted SCP consensus hash, providing cryptographic continuity guarantees. +``` diff --git a/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-bucket/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-bucket/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d062434044 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-bucket/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,251 @@ +--- +name: subsystem-summary-of-bucket +description: "read this skill for a token-efficient summary of the bucket subsystem" +--- + +# Bucket Subsystem Technical Summary + +## Overview + +The bucket subsystem implements a **log-structured merge tree (LSM-tree)** data structure called the **BucketList**. It maintains a canonical, hash-verifiable representation of all ledger state. There are two BucketList instances: the **LiveBucketList** (current ledger state) and the **HotArchiveBucketList** (recently evicted entries). Each is organized into 11 temporal levels (level 0 being youngest/smallest, level 10 being oldest/largest), where older levels are exponentially larger and change less frequently. + +The system is designed to: +1. Provide a single canonical hash of all ledger entries without rehashing the entire database on each ledger close. +2. Enable efficient "catch-up" via incremental bucket downloads from history archives. +3. Support point and bulk lookups of ledger entries via indexed bucket files (BucketListDB). + +## Key Classes and Data Structures + +### Bucket Types (CRTP Hierarchy) + +- **`BucketBase`** — Abstract CRTP base for immutable, sorted, hashed containers of XDR entries. Holds a filename, hash, size, and optional index (`shared_ptr`). Provides the core `merge()` and `mergeInternal()` static methods. Buckets are designed to be held in `shared_ptr` and shared across threads. + +- **`LiveBucket`** — Stores `BucketEntry` (INITENTRY, LIVEENTRY, DEADENTRY, METAENTRY). Supports shadows, INIT/DEAD annihilation, and in-memory level-0 merges. Has an optional `mEntries` vector for in-memory-only buckets. Index type: `LiveBucketIndex`. Key methods: + - `fresh()` — Creates a new bucket from init/live/dead entry vectors, sorts, hashes, writes to disk. + - `freshInMemoryOnly()` — Creates a bucket that only exists in memory (for level-0 "snap" that immediately merges). + - `mergeInMemory()` — Merges two in-memory buckets without `FutureBucket`, used only for level 0. + - `merge()` (inherited) — File-based merge of two buckets with optional shadows. + - `maybePut()` — Shadow-aware write: elides entries shadowed by newer buckets (pre-v12), preserves INIT/DEAD lifecycle entries (v11+). + - `mergeCasesWithEqualKeys()` — Handles INIT/DEAD annihilation and INIT+LIVE→INIT promotion. + - `convertToBucketEntry()` — Converts raw ledger entry vectors into sorted `BucketEntry` vector. + - `isTombstoneEntry()` — Returns true for DEADENTRY. + +- **`HotArchiveBucket`** — Stores `HotArchiveBucketEntry` (HOT_ARCHIVE_ARCHIVED, HOT_ARCHIVE_LIVE, HOT_ARCHIVE_METAENTRY). No shadow support. Index type: `HotArchiveBucketIndex`. HOT_ARCHIVE_LIVE acts as tombstone (restored entries). Key methods: + - `fresh()` — Creates bucket from archived entries and restored keys. + - `maybePut()` — Always writes (no shadow logic). + - `isTombstoneEntry()` — Returns true for HOT_ARCHIVE_LIVE. + +### BucketList Structure + +- **`BucketListBase`** — Abstract templated base for BucketList data structure. Contains a vector of `BucketLevel`. Defines the temporal-leveling algorithm: level sizes are powers of 4 (`levelSize(i) = 4^(i+1)`), each split into curr and snap halves. Key methods: + - `addBatchInternal()` — Main entry point: adds a batch of entries at a ledger close. Walks levels top-down, calling `snap()` and `prepare()` on levels that should spill. Level 0 uses `prepareFirstLevel()` for in-memory merges. + - `levelShouldSpill()` — Returns true when a level needs to snapshot curr→snap and merge snap into the next level. + - `restartMerges()` — Re-starts merges after deserialization (catchup or restart). For v12+ merges, reconstructs from current BucketList state; for older merges, uses serialized hashes. + - `resolveAnyReadyFutures()` — Non-blocking resolution of completed merges. + - `getHash()` — Returns concatenated hash of all level hashes (each level = hash of curr + snap). + - Static methods: `levelSize()`, `levelHalf()`, `sizeOfCurr()`, `sizeOfSnap()`, `oldestLedgerInCurr()`, `oldestLedgerInSnap()`, `keepTombstoneEntries()`, `bucketUpdatePeriod()`. + +- **`BucketLevel`** — A single level in the BucketList. Holds `mCurr`, `mSnap` (both `shared_ptr`), and `mNextCurr` (a `std::variant, shared_ptr>`). Key methods: + - `prepare()` — Starts an async merge via `FutureBucket` (used for levels 1+). + - `prepareFirstLevel()` — Specialization for level 0: does an in-memory merge if possible (`LiveBucket::mergeInMemory`), falls back to `prepare()` otherwise. + - `commit()` — Resolves any pending merge and sets result as new curr. + - `snap()` — Moves curr to snap, resets curr to empty bucket. + +- **`LiveBucketList`** — Extends `BucketListBase`. Adds eviction-related methods (`updateStartingEvictionIterator`, `updateEvictionIterAndRecordStats`, `checkIfEvictionScanIsStuck`) and `addBatch()` which calls `addBatchInternal()` with init/live/dead entry vectors. Also `maybeInitializeCaches()` for index random eviction caches. + +- **`HotArchiveBucketList`** — Extends `BucketListBase`. Simpler `addBatch()` with archived/restored entry vectors. + +### BucketManager + +- **`BucketManager`** — Singleton owner of the BucketList instances, bucket files, and merge futures. Thread-safe for bucket file operations via `mBucketMutex`. Key responsibilities: + - **Bucket file management**: `adoptFileAsBucket()` moves temp files into the bucket directory, deduplicating by hash. `forgetUnreferencedBuckets()` GCs unreferenced buckets. `cleanupStaleFiles()` removes orphaned files. + - **Merge future tracking**: `mLiveBucketFutures` / `mHotArchiveBucketFutures` (hash maps of `MergeKey → shared_future`) track running merges. `mFinishedMerges` (`BucketMergeMap`) records completed merge input→output mappings for reattachment. + - **Batch ingestion**: `addLiveBatch()` and `addHotArchiveBatch()` feed new entries from ledger close into the BucketList. + - **Snapshotting**: `snapshotLedger()` computes the `bucketListHash` for the LedgerHeader. + - **Eviction**: `startBackgroundEvictionScan()` launches async eviction scan on a snapshot; `resolveBackgroundEvictionScan()` applies results. + - **State management**: `assumeState()` loads BucketList from a `HistoryArchiveState`. `loadCompleteLedgerState()` materializes the full ledger into a map. + - **Index management**: `maybeSetIndex()` sets the index for a bucket, handling race conditions on startup. + - Owns: `LiveBucketList`, `HotArchiveBucketList`, `BucketSnapshotManager`, `TmpDirManager`, bucket maps (`mSharedLiveBuckets`, `mSharedHotArchiveBuckets`), merge future maps, `BucketMergeMap`. + +### Merge Infrastructure + +- **`FutureBucket`** — Wraps a `std::shared_future>` representing an in-progress or completed merge. Has 5 states: `FB_CLEAR`, `FB_HASH_OUTPUT`, `FB_HASH_INPUTS`, `FB_LIVE_OUTPUT`, `FB_LIVE_INPUTS`. Serializable via cereal (saves/loads hash strings). Key lifecycle: + 1. Constructed with live inputs → `FB_LIVE_INPUTS`, immediately calls `startMerge()`. + 2. `startMerge()` checks for existing merge via `BucketManager::getMergeFuture()` (reattachment). If none, creates a `packaged_task` that calls `BucketT::merge()` and posts it to a background worker thread. + 3. `mergeComplete()` polls the future. `resolve()` blocks to get result → `FB_LIVE_OUTPUT`. + 4. Serialized state can be `FB_HASH_INPUTS` or `FB_HASH_OUTPUT`. `makeLive()` reconstitutes from hashes. + +- **`MergeKey`** — Identifies a merge by its inputs: `keepTombstoneEntries`, `inputCurrHash`, `inputSnapHash`, `shadowHashes`. Used as key in merge future/finished maps. + +- **`BucketMergeMap`** — Bidirectional weak mapping of merge input→output and output→input. Stores `MergeKey→Hash`, `Hash→Hash` (input→output multimap), and `Hash→MergeKey` (output→input multimap). Used for merge reattachment: if a merge's output bucket still exists, we can synthesize a pre-resolved future instead of re-running the merge. + +- **`MergeInput`** (abstract), **`FileMergeInput`**, **`MemoryMergeInput`** — Adapters providing a uniform interface over either `BucketInputIterator` pairs (file-based merge) or in-memory `vector` pairs. Methods: `isDone()`, `oldFirst()`, `newFirst()`, `equalKeys()`, `getOldEntry()`, `getNewEntry()`, `advanceOld()`, `advanceNew()`. + +### I/O Iterators + +- **`BucketInputIterator`** — Reads entries sequentially from a bucket file via `XDRInputFileStream`. Auto-extracts the leading METAENTRY. Provides `operator*`, `operator++`, `pos()`, `seek()`, `size()`. + +- **`BucketOutputIterator`** — Writes entries to a temp file, computing a running SHA256 hash. `put()` buffers one entry to deduplicate adjacent same-key entries. `getBucket()` finalizes the file, calls `BucketManager::adoptFileAsBucket()`, and returns the new bucket. Respects `keepTombstoneEntries` to elide tombstones at the bottom level. Writes a METAENTRY at the start if protocol version ≥ 11. + +### Snapshot & Query Layer (BucketListDB) + +- **`BucketListSnapshotData`** — Immutable snapshot of a BucketList: a vector of `Level{curr, snap}` (shared_ptr to const buckets) plus a `LedgerHeader`. Thread-safe to share. + +- **`SearchableBucketListSnapshot`** — Provides lookup functionality over a snapshot. Each instance owns mutable file stream caches (`mStreams`) for I/O. Key methods: + - `load(LedgerKey)` — Point lookup: iterates buckets newest-to-oldest, returns first match via index lookup + file read. Returns the `LoadT` (LedgerEntry for live, HotArchiveBucketEntry for hot archive). + - `loadKeysFromBucket()` — Bulk scan: uses index `scan()` iterator for sequential multi-key lookup within a bucket. + - `loadKeysInternal()` — Loads keys from all buckets, supports historical snapshots. + - `loopAllBuckets()` — Iterates all non-empty bucket (curr, snap) across levels, calling a function. Stops early on `Loop::COMPLETE`. + - `getBucketEntry()` — Single-key lookup via index: CACHE_HIT returns cached entry, FILE_OFFSET reads from disk, NOT_FOUND skips. + +- **`SearchableLiveBucketListSnapshot`** — Extends the base with live-specific queries: + - `loadKeys()` — Bulk load with timer. + - `loadPoolShareTrustLinesByAccountAndAsset()` — Two-step query: index lookup for PoolIDs, then bulk trustline load. + - `loadInflationWinners()` — Legacy inflation vote counting. + - `scanForEviction()` — Background eviction scan: iterates bucket region, collects expired entries. + - `scanForEntriesOfType()` — Iterates entries of a given `LedgerEntryType` using type range bounds. + +- **`SearchableHotArchiveBucketListSnapshot`** — Hot archive queries: `loadKeys()`, `scanAllEntries()`. + +- **`BucketSnapshotManager`** — Thread-safe boundary between main-thread BucketList mutations and read-only snapshots. Holds canonical snapshots behind a `SharedMutex`. Key methods: + - `updateCurrentSnapshot()` — Called by main thread after BucketList changes. Takes exclusive lock, rotates historical snapshots. + - `copySearchableLiveBucketListSnapshot()` / `copySearchableHotArchiveBucketListSnapshot()` — Creates a new `Searchable*Snapshot` with fresh stream caches pointing to the current snapshot data. + - `maybeCopySearchableBucketListSnapshot()` — Refreshes a snapshot only if a newer one is available (shared lock). + - `maybeCopyLiveAndHotArchiveSnapshots()` — Atomically refreshes both live and hot archive snapshots for consistency. + +### Index System + +- **`LiveBucketIndex`** — Wraps either an `InMemoryIndex` (small buckets) or `DiskIndex` (large buckets), selected based on config (`BUCKETLIST_DB_INDEX_CUTOFF`). Additionally owns an optional `RandomEvictionCache` for ACCOUNT entries. Key methods: + - `lookup(LedgerKey)` — Returns `IndexReturnT` (CACHE_HIT, FILE_OFFSET, or NOT_FOUND). + - `scan(IterT, LedgerKey)` — Sequential scan for bulk loads. + - `getPoolIDsByAsset()` — Returns PoolIDs for asset-based trustline queries. + - `maybeInitializeCache()` — Lazily initializes the random eviction cache proportional to bucket's share of total accounts. + - `typeNotSupported()` — Returns true for OFFER type (offers are loaded from SQL during catchup, not BucketListDB). + - Version: `BUCKET_INDEX_VERSION = 6`. + +- **`HotArchiveBucketIndex`** — Always uses `DiskIndex` (no in-memory index, no cache). Version: `BUCKET_INDEX_VERSION = 0`. + +- **`DiskIndex`** — Persisted range-based index. Contains: + - `RangeIndex` (`vector>`) — Maps key ranges to file offsets (page boundaries). + - `BinaryFuseFilter16` — Bloom-filter-like structure for quick negative lookups. + - `AssetPoolIDMap` — Asset→PoolID mapping (LiveBucket only). + - `BucketEntryCounters` — Per-type entry counts and sizes. + - `typeRanges` — Map of `LedgerEntryType → (startOffset, endOffset)` for type-specific scans. + - Persisted to disk via cereal. Loaded on startup if version/pageSize match. + +- **`InMemoryIndex`** — For small buckets. Uses `InMemoryBucketState` (an `unordered_set`) to store all entries in memory. `InternalInMemoryBucketEntry` uses type-erasure to allow lookup by `LedgerKey` in a set of `BucketEntry` (C++20 heterogeneous lookup workaround). + +- **`IndexReturnT`** — Variant return type from index queries: `IndexPtrT` (cache hit), `std::streamoff` (file offset), or `std::monostate` (not found). + +- **`BucketIndexUtils`** — Free functions: `createIndex()` builds a new index from a bucket file; `loadIndex()` loads a persisted index from disk; `getPageSizeFromConfig()`. + +### Comparison and Ordering + +- **`LedgerEntryIdCmp`** — Compares `LedgerEntry` or `LedgerKey` by identity (type, then type-specific key fields). Used for sorted sets and merge ordering. + +- **`BucketEntryIdCmp`** — Compares `BucketEntry` or `HotArchiveBucketEntry` by their embedded ledger keys. METAENTRY sorts below all others. Handles cross-type comparisons (LIVEENTRY vs DEADENTRY, ARCHIVED vs LIVE). + +### Catchup Support + +- **`BucketApplicator`** — Applies a `LiveBucket` to the database during history catchup. Processes entries in scheduler-friendly batches (`LEDGER_ENTRY_BATCH_COMMIT_SIZE`). Only applies offers (seeks to offer range using type index). Tracks `seenKeys` to avoid applying shadowed entries. Handles pre-v11 entries that lack INITENTRY. + +### Eviction + +- **`EvictionResultEntry`** — A single eviction candidate: the `LedgerEntry`, its `EvictionIterator` position, and `liveUntilLedger`. +- **`EvictionResultCandidates`** — Collection of eviction candidates from a background scan, with validity checks against archival settings. +- **`EvictedStateVectors`** — Final eviction output: `deletedKeys` (temp entries + TTLs) and `archivedEntries` (persistent entries). +- **`EvictionStatistics`** — Tracks eviction cycle metrics (entry age, cycle period). +- **`EvictionMetrics`** — Medida metrics for eviction (entries evicted, bytes scanned, blocking/background time). + +### Utility Types + +- **`MergeCounters`** — Fine-grained counters for merge operations (entry types processed, shadow elisions, reattachments, annihilations). Not published via medida; used for internal tracking and testing. +- **`BucketEntryCounters`** — Per-`LedgerEntryTypeAndDurability` counts and sizes. Stored in indexes, aggregated across buckets. +- **`LedgerEntryTypeAndDurability`** — Finer-grained enum distinguishing TEMPORARY vs PERSISTENT CONTRACT_DATA. + +## Key Control Flows + +### Ledger Close (addBatch) + +1. `BucketManager::addLiveBatch()` → `LiveBucketList::addBatch()` → `addBatchInternal()`. +2. Walk levels top-down (10→1): if `levelShouldSpill(ledger, i-1)`, then `levels[i-1].snap()` + `levels[i].commit()` + `levels[i].prepare()`. +3. Level 0: `prepareFirstLevel()` — creates fresh in-memory bucket, merges with curr in-memory via `LiveBucket::mergeInMemory()`, commits immediately (synchronous, no background thread). +4. Levels 1+: `prepare()` creates a `FutureBucket` which launches a background merge task via `app.postOnBackgroundThread()`. +5. `resolveAnyReadyFutures()` non-blockingly resolves any completed merges. +6. `BucketSnapshotManager::updateCurrentSnapshot()` creates new immutable snapshot data. + +### Background Merge (FutureBucket::startMerge) + +1. Constructs a `MergeKey` from inputs. Checks `BucketManager::getMergeFuture()` for reattachment. +2. If no existing future, creates a `packaged_task` that calls `BucketT::merge()`. +3. `merge()` opens `BucketInputIterator`s on old and new buckets, creates `BucketOutputIterator`, then calls `mergeInternal()`. +4. `mergeInternal()` dispatches: if entries have different keys, the lesser key is accepted via `maybePut()`; if keys are equal, `mergeCasesWithEqualKeys()` handles INIT/DEAD annihilation, lifecycle promotion, and shadow checks. +5. `BucketOutputIterator::getBucket()` finalizes → `BucketManager::adoptFileAsBucket()` → file rename into bucket dir, index construction, merge tracking. + +### Point Lookup (BucketListDB) + +1. Caller obtains a `SearchableLiveBucketListSnapshot` from `BucketSnapshotManager`. +2. `load(LedgerKey)` iterates all buckets via `loopAllBuckets()`. +3. For each bucket, `getBucketEntry()` calls `index.lookup()` → returns CACHE_HIT (cached BucketEntry), FILE_OFFSET (seek + read page), or NOT_FOUND (skip bucket). +4. First non-null result wins (newer buckets shadow older ones). + +### Eviction Scan + +1. `BucketManager::startBackgroundEvictionScan()` posts a task to eviction background thread. +2. Task calls `SearchableLiveBucketListSnapshot::scanForEviction()`, which iterates through a region of the bucket file, collecting candidates whose TTL entries are expired. +3. Main thread calls `resolveBackgroundEvictionScan()`: validates candidates against current ledger state, evicts up to `maxEntriesToArchive`, updates eviction iterator in network config. + +## Threading Model + +- **Main thread**: Owns `BucketManager`, `LiveBucketList`, `HotArchiveBucketList`. Calls `addBatch()`, `snapshotLedger()`, `forgetUnreferencedBuckets()`. Updates canonical snapshots in `BucketSnapshotManager`. +- **Worker threads** (via `app.postOnBackgroundThread()`): Run `FutureBucket` merges. Call `BucketT::merge()`, `adoptFileAsBucket()`. Access `mBucketMutex` for file operations and future maps. +- **Eviction background thread**: Runs `scanForEviction()` on a snapshot. +- **Query threads** (Soroban/overlay): Use `SearchableBucketListSnapshot` copies from `BucketSnapshotManager`. Each snapshot has its own file stream cache. Snapshot data is immutable and shared via `shared_ptr`. +- **Synchronization**: + - `mBucketMutex` (RecursiveMutex): Guards bucket file maps, future maps, finished merge map. Must be acquired AFTER `LedgerManagerImpl::mLedgerStateMutex`. + - `mSnapshotMutex` (SharedMutex in `BucketSnapshotManager`): Exclusive for `updateCurrentSnapshot()`, shared for copying snapshots. + - `mCacheMutex` (shared_mutex in `LiveBucketIndex`): Guards the random eviction cache. + +## Ownership Relationships + +``` +BucketManager +├── LiveBucketList (unique_ptr) +│ └── vector> +│ ├── mCurr: shared_ptr +│ │ ├── mFilename, mHash, mSize +│ │ ├── mIndex: shared_ptr +│ │ │ ├── DiskIndex (or InMemoryIndex) +│ │ │ └── RandomEvictionCache (optional) +│ │ └── mEntries: unique_ptr> (level 0 only) +│ ├── mSnap: shared_ptr +│ └── mNextCurr: variant, shared_ptr> +│ └── FutureBucket holds shared_future + input/output bucket refs +├── HotArchiveBucketList (unique_ptr) +│ └── vector> (same structure) +├── BucketSnapshotManager (unique_ptr) +│ ├── mCurrLiveSnapshot: shared_ptr> +│ ├── mCurrHotArchiveSnapshot: shared_ptr> +│ └── historical snapshot maps +├── mSharedLiveBuckets: map> +├── mSharedHotArchiveBuckets: map> +├── mLiveBucketFutures: map>> +├── mHotArchiveBucketFutures: map>> +├── mFinishedMerges: BucketMergeMap +├── TmpDirManager (unique_ptr) +└── Config (copy, thread-safe) +``` + +## Key Data Flows + +1. **Ledger close → BucketList**: `LedgerManager` → `BucketManager::addLiveBatch(initEntries, liveEntries, deadEntries)` → `LiveBucketList::addBatch()` → spill cascade through levels → background merges. + +2. **BucketList → Snapshot**: After `addBatch()`, main thread calls `BucketSnapshotManager::updateCurrentSnapshot()` → creates new immutable `BucketListSnapshotData` from current BucketList state. + +3. **Snapshot → Query**: Background threads call `BucketSnapshotManager::copySearchableLiveBucketListSnapshot()` → gets a `SearchableLiveBucketListSnapshot` with fresh file streams → `load()` / `loadKeys()` for point and bulk queries. + +4. **Eviction flow**: Main thread → `startBackgroundEvictionScan()` → eviction thread scans snapshot → `resolveBackgroundEvictionScan()` on main thread applies evictions to `AbstractLedgerTxn` → evicted persistent entries flow to `addHotArchiveBatch()` → `HotArchiveBucketList`. + +5. **Catchup flow**: `HistoryManager` downloads bucket files → `BucketManager::assumeState(HistoryArchiveState)` → sets curr/snap on each level, restarts merges → `BucketApplicator` applies offers to database. + +6. **Merge reattachment**: On restart, `FutureBucket::makeLive()` reconstitutes from hashes → `startMerge()` checks `BucketManager::getMergeFuture()` → if finished merge exists in `BucketMergeMap`, synthesizes a pre-resolved future; otherwise re-launches background merge. diff --git a/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-catchup/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-catchup/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..229e2f3940 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-catchup/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,325 @@ +--- +name: subsystem-summary-of-catchup +description: "read this skill for a token-efficient summary of the catchup subsystem" +--- + +# Catchup Subsystem — Technical Summary + +The catchup subsystem in stellar-core is responsible for synchronizing a node's local ledger state with the rest of the network when it falls behind.

Invariants enforced by `checkInvariants()`. + +Key accessors: `applyBuckets()`, `replayLedgers()`, `getBucketApplyLedger()`, `getReplayRange()`, `getFullRangeIncludingBucketApply()`. + +### LedgerApplyManager / LedgerApplyManagerImpl +**Files:** `LedgerApplyManager.h`, `LedgerApplyManagerImpl.h/.cpp` + +Abstract interface + concrete implementation. This is the **top-level coordinator** between the consensus layer (Herder) and the catchup/apply machinery. Owned by `Application`. + +#### Key data members (Impl): +- `mCatchupWork` — `shared_ptr`, the running catchup work item (null when not catching up). +- `mSyncingLedgers` — `map`, buffer of ledgers received from the network that cannot be applied yet. Has strict invariants: either empty, starts at LCL+1, or contains at most 65 ledgers within a checkpoint boundary. +- `mLastQueuedToApply` — tracks the highest ledger sequence queued for application. +- `mLargestLedgerSeqHeard` — the highest ledger seq ever received. +- `mMetrics` (`CatchupMetrics`) — counters for archive states downloaded, checkpoints, ledgers verified, buckets downloaded/applied, tx sets downloaded/applied. +- `mCatchupFatalFailure` — set when catchup fails unrecoverably (e.g., incompatible core version). +- `MAX_EXTERNALIZE_LEDGER_APPLY_DRIFT = 12` — maximum ledger drift allowed before entering catchup in parallel-close mode. + +#### Key methods: +- **`processLedger(LedgerCloseData, isLatestSlot)`** — main entry point called by Herder/LedgerManager when a new consensus ledger arrives. Logic: + 1. If catchup is done, resets `mCatchupWork`. + 2. If ledger is old (≤ mLastQueuedToApply), skip. + 3. If ledger is the next sequential one and no catchup running → `tryApplySyncingLedgers()`. + 4. Otherwise buffers the ledger, trims the buffer, and decides whether to `startOnlineCatchup()`. +- **`startCatchup(CatchupConfiguration, archive)`** — schedules a `CatchupWork` on the `WorkScheduler`. +- **`startOnlineCatchup()`** — constructs a `CatchupConfiguration` targeting `firstBuffered - 1` in ONLINE mode. +- **`trimSyncingLedgers()`** — garbage-collects old entries from `mSyncingLedgers`, keeping at most one checkpoint's worth plus one. +- **`tryApplySyncingLedgers()`** — iterates sequential ledgers in `mSyncingLedgers` and applies them via `LedgerManager::applyLedger()`. In parallel-close mode, posts work to the ledger-close thread. +- **`maybeGetNextBufferedLedgerToApply()`** — returns the next buffered ledger (LCL+1) if available; used by `ApplyBufferedLedgersWork`. + +### CatchupWork +**File:** `CatchupWork.h/.cpp` + +The central **Work** subclass orchestrating all catchup steps.

Processes checkpoints from **highest to lowest**, linking each checkpoint's hash chain to the next. + +#### Key data members: +- `mDownloadDir`, `mRange`, `mCurrCheckpoint` — the files to verify and current position. +- `mLastClosed` (LedgerNumHashPair) — local LCL for consistency checks. +- `mTrustedMaxLedger` (shared_future) — trusted hash from SCP consensus for the range end. +- `mVerifiedAhead` (LedgerNumHashPair) — hash-link propagation between checkpoint verifications. +- `mVerifiedMinLedgerPrev` (promise) — outgoing: the hash just before the verified range, so bucket-apply can validate. +- `mMaxVerifiedLedgerOfMinCheckpoint` — the max ledger of the lowest checkpoint; used by CatchupWork as `mVerifiedLedgerRangeStart`. +- `mFatalFailurePromise` — set when a mismatch against trusted hash is detected. +- `mChainDisagreesWithLocalState` — records local-state disagreements (e.g., bad LCL hash, incompatible version). + +#### Key method — `verifyHistoryOfSingleCheckpoint()`: +- Opens the checkpoint ledger header file. +- Iterates entries, verifying each ledger header hash and link to the previous. +- At the range end, verifies against `mTrustedMaxLedger`. +- At each checkpoint boundary, checks hash-chain linkage with `mVerifiedAhead`. +- On the lowest checkpoint, writes hash-link to `mVerifiedMinLedgerPrev` and records `mMaxVerifiedLedgerOfMinCheckpoint`. +- Checks local state (LCL hash, protocol version) and records disagreements. + +#### `onRun()`: +Calls `verifyHistoryOfSingleCheckpoint()` once per crank. On success, decrements `mCurrCheckpoint` and returns `WORK_RUNNING` until all checkpoints are verified. Maps various error statuses to `WORK_FAILURE` with appropriate log messages. + +### DownloadApplyTxsWork +**File:** `DownloadApplyTxsWork.h/.cpp` + +`BatchWork` subclass that iterates over checkpoints in a replay range, yielding a work sequence per checkpoint: download → unzip → apply. + +#### Key data members: +- `mRange` (LedgerRange) — the half-open replay range. +- `mDownloadDir` — shared temp directory. +- `mLastApplied` (LedgerHeaderHistoryEntry&) — reference to the last applied header (updated on success). +- `mCheckpointToQueue` — next checkpoint to schedule. +- `mLastYieldedWork` — the previous checkpoint's work, used for sequencing. +- `mWaitForPublish` — if true, gates application on publish queue size. + +#### `yieldMoreWork()`: +For each checkpoint: +1.

Returns the whole sequence as a `WorkSequence`. + +### ApplyCheckpointWork +**File:** `ApplyCheckpointWork.h/.cpp` + +`BasicWork` subclass that applies transactions from a single checkpoint (at most one checkpoint worth of ledgers). + +#### Key data members: +- `mDownloadDir` — temp dir with ledger + tx files. +- `mLedgerRange` — the aligned ledger range to apply. +- `mCheckpoint` — the checkpoint number. +- `mHdrIn`, `mTxIn` — XDR input streams for ledger headers and transactions. +- `mConditionalWork` — wraps `ApplyLedgerWork` in a conditional that waits for BucketList merge futures to resolve. + +#### Key control flow (`onRun()`): +1. If a conditional work is active, cranks it. On success, verifies the resulting LCL hash matches the expected header hash. +2. Checks if done (all ledgers in range applied). +3. Opens input files if needed. +4. Calls `getNextLedgerCloseData()` which reads the next header from file, performs knitting checks (skip old, verify LCL hash continuity, verify tx set hash), and constructs a `LedgerCloseData`. +5. Creates `ApplyLedgerWork` wrapped in a `ConditionalWork` that waits for BucketList merge futures. + +### ApplyLedgerWork +**File:** `ApplyLedgerWork.h/.cpp` + +Minimal `BasicWork` subclass. `onRun()` calls `LedgerManager::applyLedger(lcd, false)` to close a single ledger.

Entries already in `mSeenKeys` are skipped (ensures newest-version-wins). After each bucket, runs invariant checks. +3. **Assume state** — spawns `AssumeStateWork` which indexes both live and hot archive buckets, then calls `BucketManager::assumeState()` to set the BucketList to the target state and restart merges. + +### AssumeStateWork +**File:** `AssumeStateWork.h/.cpp` + +`Work` subclass spawned at the end of `ApplyBucketsWork`.

If `new-db`: `initialize()` drops/recreates all tables, sets schema version to `MIN_SCHEMA_VERSION`. +4. Otherwise: `upgradeToCurrentSchema()` reads current versions and applies incremental migrations. + +### SQL Statement Execution (typical pattern used by other subsystems) +1. Caller obtains a timer via `getInsertTimer("entity")` etc. — starts timing. +2. Caller obtains session via `getSession()` or `getMiscSession()`. +3. Caller either uses raw SOCI syntax (`session << "SQL..."`) or obtains a prepared statement via `getPreparedStatement(query, session)`. +4. `StatementContext` RAII ensures cleanup. +5. Timer destructor records elapsed time in metrics. + +### Worker Thread Database Access +1. Worker thread calls `getPool()` or `getMiscPool()` to get a `soci::connection_pool`. +2. Worker constructs a `SessionWrapper` from the pool (SOCI automatically checks out/returns connections). +3. Worker performs read queries. Write operations are restricted to the main thread's session. + +### Schema Migration +1. `upgradeToCurrentSchema()` is called during startup. +2. Misc DB migration runs first: if main schema ≥ 26, misc schema version is read; migrations applied (v0→v1 creates tables and copies data from main). +3. Main DB migration runs second: v25→v26 drops deprecated tables and removes misc tables from main if misc DB is active. +4. Each step runs in a SOCI transaction, version is persisted after commit. + +### Data Pruning +1. Subsystems call `DatabaseUtils::deleteOldEntriesHelper()` with a target ledger sequence, batch count, table name, and column name. +2.

Files are named using `FileTransferInfo` with `.dirty` suffix. Streams use `fsync` for durability. +- `appendTransactionSet(ledgerSeq, txSet, resultSet)`: Serializes transactions and results to their respective streams. Only writes if there are non-empty results. Checks startup validation. +- `appendLedgerHeader(header)`: Serializes a `LedgerHeaderHistoryEntry` (header + hash) to the ledger header stream. +- `checkpointComplete(checkpoint)`: Closes all streams, then renames each `.dirty` file to its final canonical name via `fs::durableRename`. This is the "commit" step for checkpoint data files. +- `cleanup(lcl)`: Startup crash recovery. For each of the three file types: if the final file exists, just deletes the next checkpoint's dirty files. If only a dirty file exists, truncates it to entries ≤ `lcl` (handling partial writes via XDR deserialization errors). Validates that the ledger header file ends exactly at `lcl`. Sets `mStartupValidationComplete = true`. + +**Atomicity model:** Files are written as `.dirty` temporaries and renamed after ledger commit. This guarantees: +- Dirty files always end at a ledger ≥ LCL in DB. +- Final files always end at a ledger ≤ LCL in DB. +- On crash, `cleanup()` can truncate dirty files to match committed state. + +### `HistoryArchiveState` (`HistoryArchive.h`, `HistoryArchive.cpp`) + +A snapshot of a ledger number and its associated bucket list state. Used both for publication to archives and for persisting local BucketList state. Serialized as JSON (cereal). + +**Key fields:** + +- `version` — 1 (before hot archive) or 2 (with hot archive). +- `server` — stellar-core version string. +- `networkPassphrase` — required for version 2. +- `currentLedger` — the ledger sequence this state describes. +- `currentBuckets` — `vector>`, one per BucketList level. +- `hotArchiveBuckets` — `vector>`, present in version 2. + +**Key methods:** + +- `getBucketListHash()` — computes cumulative SHA256 hash matching the live BucketList algorithm. +- `differingBuckets(other)` — returns `BucketHashReturnT` (separate live/hot vectors) of bucket hashes needed to turn `other` into `this`. Used to determine which buckets to upload. +- `allBuckets()` — returns all referenced bucket hashes (curr, snap, and future hashes). +- `containsValidBuckets(app)` — validates structural integrity: correct level count, monotonic bucket versions, correct future-bucket state based on protocol version. +- `prepareForPublish(app)` — reconstitutes `FutureBucket` merge operations if needed for publication. +- `resolveAllFutures()` / `resolveAnyReadyFutures()` — resolve pending bucket merges (may block). +- `save()` / `load()` / `toString()` / `fromString()` — JSON serialization via cereal. + +### `HistoryStateBucket` (`HistoryArchive.h`) + +Template struct parameterized on bucket type (`LiveBucket` or `HotArchiveBucket`).

Owned by `Application`. + +- Constructs `HistoryArchive` objects from `Config::HISTORY` entries. +- `checkSensibleConfig()` — validates archive configs (warns about read-only, write-only, inert archives). +- `selectRandomReadableHistoryArchive()` — picks a random archive for catchup, preferring read-only archives over read-write ones. +- `publishEnabled()` — returns true if any archive has both get and put commands. +- `getWritableHistoryArchives()` — returns archives with both get and put. +- `getHistoryArchive(name)` — lookup by name. +- `initializeHistoryArchive(arch)` — writes initial (empty) HAS to `well-known/stellar-history.json`. +- `getHistoryArchiveReportWork()` — creates work to fetch and report state from all archives. +- `getCheckLedgerHeaderWork(lhhe)` — creates work to verify a ledger header against all archives. + +### `StateSnapshot` (`StateSnapshot.h`, `StateSnapshot.cpp`) + +A point-in-time snapshot of checkpoint data ready for publication. Created by `takeSnapshotAndPublish`. + +**Key members:** + +- `mLocalState` — `HistoryArchiveState` being published. +- `mSnapDir` — `TmpDir` for staging SCP message files. +- `mLedgerSnapFile`, `mTransactionSnapFile`, `mTransactionResultSnapFile`, `mSCPHistorySnapFile` — `shared_ptr` for the four history file types. + +**Key methods:** + +- Constructor: Creates `FileTransferInfo` objects for each file type. Ledger/transaction/result files point to the publish history directory; SCP file uses a temporary directory. +- `writeSCPMessages()` — streams SCP history entries from the database into an XDR file for the checkpoint range. +- `differingHASFiles(other)` — returns the list of files (ledger, tx, results, SCP, plus differing bucket files) that need to be uploaded to bring `other` up to `this` state. + +### `FileTransferInfo` (`FileTransferInfo.h`, `FileTransferInfo.cpp`) + +Encapsulates naming conventions for history files (buckets, ledgers, transactions, results, SCP). Provides: + +- Local paths (with/without `.gz`, `.dirty`, `.gz.tmp` suffixes). +- Remote paths (for archive upload). +- Base names following the pattern `{type}-{hexDigits}.xdr[.gz]`. +- Multiple constructors: from a bucket object (hash-based naming), from `TmpDir` + checkpoint ledger, or from `Config` + checkpoint ledger (publish directory). + +### `FileType` enum (`FileTransferInfo.h`) + +`HISTORY_FILE_TYPE_BUCKET`, `HISTORY_FILE_TYPE_LEDGER`, `HISTORY_FILE_TYPE_TRANSACTIONS`, `HISTORY_FILE_TYPE_RESULTS`, `HISTORY_FILE_TYPE_SCP`. + +### `HistoryArchiveReportWork` (`HistoryArchiveReportWork.h`, `HistoryArchiveReportWork.cpp`) + +A `WorkSequence` that fetches `HistoryArchiveState` from all configured archives and logs their status. Used for diagnostic reporting (`--report-last-history-checkpoint`). + +### `HistoryUtils` (`HistoryUtils.h`, `HistoryUtils.cpp`) + +Template function `getHistoryEntryForLedger()` — advances through an XDR input stream to find a `TransactionHistoryEntry` or `TransactionHistoryResultEntry` matching a target ledger sequence. Handles gaps in history (empty ledgers with no transactions). Returns true if the target entry is found. + +--- + +## Key Data Flows + +### Checkpoint Construction (Ledger Close Path) + +1. During `LedgerManagerImpl::closeLedger`, before commit: + - `HistoryManager::appendTransactionSet()` → `CheckpointBuilder::appendTransactionSet()` writes tx and result XDR entries to `.dirty` streams. + - `HistoryManager::appendLedgerHeader()` → `CheckpointBuilder::appendLedgerHeader()` writes ledger header entry. +2. If this ledger completes a checkpoint (`isLastLedgerInCheckpoint`): + - `HistoryManager::maybeQueueHistoryCheckpoint()` is called. It snapshots the BucketList into a `HistoryArchiveState` and writes a `.checkpoint.dirty` file to the publish queue directory. +3. After ledger commit: + - `HistoryManager::maybeCheckpointComplete()` renames `.dirty` data files to final names via `CheckpointBuilder::checkpointComplete()`, and renames the `.checkpoint.dirty` queue file to `.checkpoint`. +4. `HistoryManager::publishQueuedHistory()` picks the oldest `.checkpoint` file, loads the HAS, and calls `takeSnapshotAndPublish()`. + +### Publication Pipeline + +`takeSnapshotAndPublish` creates a `StateSnapshot` and schedules a 3-phase `WorkSequence`: + +1. **`ResolveSnapshotWork`** — resolves any pending `FutureBucket` merges so all bucket hashes are concrete. +2. **`WriteSnapshotWork`** — writes SCP messages to disk (from DB), gzips all checkpoint files (ledger, tx, results, SCP). +3. **`PutSnapshotFilesWork`** — uploads files to all writable archives using shell put/mkdir commands. + +The pipeline is wrapped in `ConditionalWork` with a configurable delay (`PUBLISH_TO_ARCHIVE_DELAY`). On completion, `historyPublished()` is called which cleans up local files and triggers the next queued publish. + +### Crash Recovery (Startup Path) + +1. `HistoryManager::restoreCheckpoint(lcl)` is called on startup with the last committed ledger. +2. `CheckpointBuilder::cleanup(lcl)`: + - For each file type (results, transactions, ledger headers): if a dirty file exists, truncates it to entries ≤ lcl by reading/rewriting valid entries. Handles partial writes (XDR parse errors). + - Deletes any dirty files for checkpoints beyond `lcl`. + - If no files exist at all, sets `mSkipFirstCheckpointSinceItIsIncomplete`. +3. Stale `.checkpoint.dirty` queue files with `seq > lcl` are deleted. +4. If `lcl` is at a checkpoint boundary, `maybeCheckpointComplete` finalizes any unfinalised checkpoint. + +### Catchup (Download Path) + +Catchup is orchestrated by the `CatchupWork` family (in `historywork/`, outside this directory) and the `LedgerManager`. The history subsystem provides: + +- `HistoryArchiveManager::selectRandomReadableHistoryArchive()` to pick a source. +- `HistoryArchiveState::differingBuckets()` to determine which buckets need downloading. +- `getHistoryEntryForLedger()` to iterate through downloaded tx/result history files. +- Checkpoint arithmetic functions to compute ranges. + +--- + +## Publish Queue Storage + +The publish queue is stored on the filesystem under `{BUCKET_DIR_PATH}/publishqueue/`. Each queued checkpoint is a binary-cereal–serialized `HistoryArchiveState` file named `{hex_ledger}.checkpoint`. Temporary files use `.checkpoint.dirty` suffix. The queue is scanned on startup and files are processed oldest-first. + +--- + +## Threading Model + +- All history operations run on the **main thread** (enforced by `releaseAssert(threadIsMain())` in `takeSnapshotAndPublish`). +- Publication uses the **Work/WorkScheduler** framework for async I/O (shell commands for get/put/mkdir) without blocking the main thread. +- `CheckpointBuilder` writes are synchronous within ledger close (on the main thread), using `fsync` for durability. +- `BucketList` snapshots (`getLiveBucketList()`) are taken on the main thread since only one thread modifies the bucket list. + +--- + +## Ownership Relationships + +``` +Application +├── HistoryManagerImpl (unique_ptr via HistoryManager::create) +│ ├── CheckpointBuilder (value member) +│ │ ├── XDROutputFileStream mTxResults (unique_ptr, open during checkpoint) +│ │ ├── XDROutputFileStream mTxs (unique_ptr) +│ │ └── XDROutputFileStream mLedgerHeaders (unique_ptr) +│ ├── TmpDir mWorkDir (unique_ptr, lazy-initialized) +│ ├── BasicWork mPublishWork (shared_ptr, current publish job) +│ └── Metrics (references to medida meters/timers) +├── HistoryArchiveManager (value member in Application) +│ └── vector> mArchives +└── WorkScheduler (schedules publish Work items) + └── ConditionalWork → PublishWork + └── WorkSequence: ResolveSnapshotWork → WriteSnapshotWork → PutSnapshotFilesWork + └── StateSnapshot (shared_ptr, passed through pipeline) + ├── HistoryArchiveState mLocalState + ├── TmpDir mSnapDir + └── FileTransferInfo (shared_ptr) × 4 file types +``` + +--- + +## Key Constants + +- `MAX_HISTORY_ARCHIVE_BUCKET_SIZE` = 100 GB — DOS protection limit on downloaded bucket size. +- Default checkpoint frequency = 64 ledgers (~5m20s at 5s close time). +- `HISTORY_ARCHIVE_STATE_VERSION_BEFORE_HOT_ARCHIVE` = 1, `HISTORY_ARCHIVE_STATE_VERSION_WITH_HOT_ARCHIVE` = 2. +- Archive root state file: `.well-known/stellar-history.json`. diff --git a/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-historywork/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-historywork/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c0eae46253 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-historywork/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,363 @@ +--- +name: subsystem-summary-of-historywork +description: "read this skill for a token-efficient summary of the historywork subsystem" +--- + +# Historywork Subsystem Technical Summary + +The `historywork` subsystem implements the concrete work units (tasks) for stellar-core's history archive interactions.

If false, failure is logged as an error but execution continues. +- `getName()` — Pure virtual; returns the invariant's unique name string. +- `checkOnOperationApply(operation, result, ltxDelta, events, app)` — Called after each operation is applied within a transaction.

The `onInvariantFailure` method increments the failure counter, records failure info, and calls `handleInvariantFailure()` which either throws `InvariantDoesNotHold` (strict) or logs an error (non-strict). In fuzzing builds, failures always `abort()`. + +**Protocol version gating:** +`checkOnOperationApply` skips all invariants except `EventsAreConsistentWithEntryDiffs` for ledgers before protocol version 8. + +**Snapshot scheduling:** +When `INVARIANT_EXTRA_CHECKS` is enabled, `start()` calls `scheduleSnapshotTimer()`. The timer fires `snapshotTimerFired()`, which sets `mShouldRunStateSnapshotInvariant = true` if no prior scan is running. LedgerManager reads `shouldRunInvariantSnapshot()` and, when true, snapshots the state and dispatches `runStateSnapshotInvariant()` on a background thread. The background thread iterates all enabled invariants calling `checkSnapshot()`. If the previous scan is still running when the timer fires, the run is skipped and a metric is incremented. + +### `InvariantDoesNotHold` + +A `std::runtime_error` subclass thrown when a strict invariant fails. Caught upstream (e.g., in LedgerManager) to trigger node shutdown. + +--- + +## Individual Invariants + +### `ConservationOfLumens` (non-strict) + +**Purpose:** Ensures the total supply of lumens is conserved. During normal operations, `totalCoins` and `feePool` in the LedgerHeader must not change (except during inflation). The full BucketList snapshot mode sums all native balances across accounts, trustlines, claimable balances, liquidity pools, and Stellar Asset Contract balance entries (both live and hot-archived) and compares to `header.totalCoins`. + +**Hooks used:** `checkOnOperationApply`, `checkSnapshot`. + +**Key logic:** +- `calculateDeltaBalance()` computes the change in native asset balance for each entry delta, using `getAssetBalance()` which understands SAC contract data entries. +- On operation apply: sums all balance deltas across entries. For inflation, validates `deltaTotalCoins == inflationPayouts + deltaFeePool` and `deltaBalances == inflationPayouts`. For non-inflation, all deltas must be zero. +- On snapshot: iterates all buckets scanning for entry types that can hold native assets, handles shadowing via `countedKeys` sets, sums live + hot-archive balances + feePool, and compares to `totalCoins`. Only runs from protocol V24+. + +**Constructor takes:** `AssetContractInfo` for the lumen SAC contract (contract ID, balance key symbol, amount symbol). + +### `AccountSubEntriesCountIsValid` (non-strict) + +**Purpose:** Validates that the `numSubEntries` field on each account matches the actual count of sub-entries (trustlines, offers, data entries, signers). Pool-share trustlines count as 2 sub-entries. + +**Hook used:** `checkOnOperationApply`. + +**Key logic:** Builds a `UnorderedMap` tracking deltas in `numSubEntries` (from the account entry) vs. `calculatedSubEntries` (from counting sub-entry creates/deletes). Also checks that deleted accounts have no remaining sub-entries other than signers. + +### `BucketListIsConsistentWithDatabase` (strict) + +**Purpose:** Cross-checks entries in BucketList buckets against the SQL database during catchup/bucket-apply. Only checks entry types not supported by BucketListDB (currently only OFFERs). + +**Hooks used:** `checkOnBucketApply`, `checkAfterAssumeState`. + +**Key logic:** +- `checkOnBucketApply`: Iterates a single bucket, verifies ordering, checks `lastModifiedLedgerSeq` bounds, and compares each LIVE/INIT entry against the database and each DEAD entry is absent from the database. Validates total offer count matches. +- `checkAfterAssumeState`: Iterates the entire BucketList, checking all unshadowed offer entries against the database. +- `checkEntireBucketlist()`: Offline self-check entry point that loads the complete BucketList and compares against the database. + +**Holds a reference to `Application`** for database and BucketManager access. + +### `LedgerEntryIsValid` (non-strict) + +**Purpose:** Validates structural correctness, field bounds, and immutability constraints for all ledger entry types after each operation. + +**Hook used:** `checkOnOperationApply`. + +**Key logic:** Dispatches to type-specific `checkIsValid()` overloads: +- **AccountEntry**: balance ≥ 0, seqNum ≥ 0, valid flags, sorted signers with valid weights, v2 extension constraints, numSubEntries + numSponsoring ≤ UINT32_MAX. +- **TrustLineEntry**: valid non-native asset, 0 ≤ balance ≤ limit, valid flags, pool-share has no liabilities, clawback flag immutability. +- **OfferEntry**: positive offerID/amount, valid assets, valid price (n > 0, d ≥ 1), valid flags. +- **DataEntry**: non-empty valid dataName. +- **ClaimableBalanceEntry**: must be sponsored, valid predicates (max depth 4), immutable once created, valid asset, positive amount, clawback not on native. +- **LiquidityPoolEntry**: V18+ only, constant-product type, valid ordered assets, fee = 30 bps, non-negative reserves/shares/counts, immutable params. +- **ContractDataEntry**: validates lumen SAC balance entries have correct structure (persistent, I128 amount within int64 range). +- **ContractCodeEntry**: `sha256(code) == hash`, hash/code immutable after creation. +- **TTLEntry**: keyHash immutable, liveUntilLedgerSeq non-decreasing. +- All: `lastModifiedLedgerSeq == current ledgerSeq`. + +### `LiabilitiesMatchOffers` (non-strict) + +**Purpose:** Ensures buying/selling liabilities on accounts and trustlines stay in sync with the aggregated liabilities implied by their offers, and that balances respect liability + reserve constraints. + +**Hook used:** `checkOnOperationApply`. + +**Key logic (V10+ only for liabilities):** +- Accumulates a `LiabilitiesMap` (per-account, per-asset liabilities delta) by adding current entry liabilities and subtracting previous entry liabilities for accounts, trustlines, and offers. +- For offers: selling liabilities = `exchangeV10WithoutPriceErrorThresholds(...)`.numWheatReceived; buying liabilities = numSheepSend. +- After accumulation, all per-account per-asset liability deltas must be zero (offers match account/trustline liabilities). +- Also checks: unauthorized trustlines cannot increase liabilities; balance ≥ minBalance + sellingLiabilities for accounts; balance ≥ sellingLiabilities and limit - balance ≥ buyingLiabilities for trustlines. +- `checkAuthorized()` validates authorization state transitions on trustlines. + +### `SponsorshipCountIsValid` (non-strict) + +**Purpose:** Validates per-account `numSponsoring` and `numSponsored` counters match actual sponsorship extensions on entries. Only active from protocol V14+. + +**Hook used:** `checkOnOperationApply`. + +**Key logic:** +- `updateCounters()` walks entry extensions: if `sponsoringID` is set, increments numSponsoring for the sponsor and numSponsored for the owning account (or claimableBalanceReserve for claimable balances). Multiplier depends on entry type (accounts = 2, pool-share trustlines = 2, claimable balances = number of claimants, others = 1). Also counts signer-level sponsorships from v2 account extensions. +- Compares computed deltas (`numSponsoring`/`numSponsored` maps) against the actual delta in account entries. Checks that no unmatched changes remain. + +### `ConstantProductInvariant` (strict) + +**Purpose:** Ensures the AMM constant product `reserveA * reserveB` never decreases for liquidity pool entries (except during withdrawals, SetTrustLineFlags, and AllowTrust operations which are excluded). + +**Hook used:** `checkOnOperationApply`. + +**Key logic:** For each modified liquidity pool entry, validates `currentReserveA * currentReserveB >= previousReserveA * previousReserveB` using 128-bit arithmetic (`uint128_t`). + +### `OrderBookIsNotCrossed` (strict, BUILD_TESTS only) + +**Purpose:** Maintains an in-memory order book and checks that buy/sell prices never cross (lowest ask ≤ highest bid only allowed if all offers at that price are passive). + +**Hook used:** `checkOnOperationApply`. + +**Not registered via normal config.** Only registered and enabled explicitly via `registerAndEnableInvariant()` from fuzzer code or dedicated tests, because it maintains state across calls and cannot handle rollbacks without the `snapshotForFuzzer`/`resetForFuzzer` mechanism. + +**Key data structures:** +- `OrderBook` = `unordered_map>` — sorted by price, then passive-flag, then offerID. +- `mOrderBookSnapshot` — saved state for fuzzer rollback. + +**Key logic:** `updateOrderBook()` processes LedgerTxnDelta to add/remove offers. `check()` iterates affected asset pairs and calls `checkCrossed()` which compares the lowest ask price to the inverse of the lowest bid price. Equal prices are allowed only if at least one side is entirely passive offers. + +### `BucketListStateConsistency` (strict) + +**Purpose:** Background snapshot invariant that validates consistency between the BucketList, `InMemorySorobanState` cache, and HotArchive for Soroban entries. Only runs from SOROBAN_PROTOCOL_VERSION+. + +**Hook used:** `checkSnapshot`. + +**Properties checked:** +1. Every live CONTRACT_DATA/CONTRACT_CODE entry in the BucketList exists in `InMemorySorobanState` with matching value. +2. No extra entries exist in the cache (validated via count comparison). +3. Each live soroban entry has a corresponding TTL entry with matching value in the cache. +4. No orphan TTL entries exist without a corresponding soroban entry. +5. No live entry in the live BL is also present in the hot archive BL. +6. Only persistent CONTRACT_DATA and CONTRACT_CODE entries exist in the hot archive. +7. Cached total entry sizes match the sum of actual entry sizes. + +**Implementation:** Scans CONTRACT_DATA, CONTRACT_CODE, and TTL entries sequentially via `scanForEntriesOfType()`, tracking seen keys to handle shadowing. Uses `shouldAbortInvariantScan()` between scans for early termination. + +### `ArchivedStateConsistency` (non-strict) + +**Purpose:** Validates that eviction and restoration of Soroban entries are consistent with the live and hot-archive BucketList state. Only runs from the first protocol supporting persistent eviction. + +**Hook used:** `checkOnLedgerCommit`. + +**Key logic:** +- Preloads all relevant keys from live and archived snapshots in batch. +- **Eviction checks:** Archived entries must not already exist in the hot archive, must exist in live state, must have an expired TTL, and (from V24+) must match the latest live version. Temporary entries must also be expired. Count of TTL keys evicted must equal count of data/code entries evicted. +- **Restore checks:** Restored entries must be persistent. For hot-archive restores: entry must not be in live state and must exist in archive with matching value (from V24+). For live-state restores: entry must exist in live state with matching value, must not be in hot archive, and TTL must be expired. + +### `EventsAreConsistentWithEntryDiffs` (strict) + +**Purpose:** Validates that Stellar Asset Contract (SAC) events (transfer, mint, burn, clawback, set_authorized) are consistent with the actual ledger entry balance changes for each operation. + +**Hook used:** `checkOnOperationApply`. + +**Key data structures:** +- `AggregatedEvents` — accumulates net balance changes per `(SCAddress, Asset)` from events, and tracks `set_authorized` state changes. +- `stellarAssetContractIDs` — maps contract hashes to `Asset` for SAC identification. + +**Key logic:** +1. `aggregateEventDiffs()` processes all contract events: transfer subtracts from source and adds to destination; mint adds; burn/clawback subtracts. Uses 128-bit arithmetic via Rust bridge (`rust_bridge::i128_add/sub`). Returns `nullopt` on malformed events. +2. For each entry delta, `calculateDeltaBalance()` computes the actual balance change and `consumeAmount()` retrieves the corresponding event amount. Checks they match for accounts, trustlines, claimable balances, liquidity pools, and SAC contract data balance entries. +3. After all entries are checked, any remaining unconsumed event amounts must be zero. +4. Handles protocol 23 hot-archive bug reconciliation via `getProtocol23CorruptionEventReconciler()`. +5. `checkAuthorization()` validates that trustline authorization changes match `set_authorized` events. + +--- + +## Control Flow and Threading + +### Main Thread Dispatch + +All `checkOnOperationApply`, `checkOnBucketApply`, `checkAfterAssumeState`, and `checkOnLedgerCommit` calls happen synchronously on the main thread as part of transaction/ledger processing. They iterate the `mEnabled` vector and short-circuit on the first failure, calling `onInvariantFailure()`. + +### Background Snapshot Thread + +Expensive invariants (`checkSnapshot`) run on a background thread managed by LedgerManager: +1. `InvariantManagerImpl::start()` schedules `mStateSnapshotTimer` (period = `STATE_SNAPSHOT_INVARIANT_LEDGER_FREQUENCY` seconds). +2. Timer fires → `snapshotTimerFired()` sets `mShouldRunStateSnapshotInvariant = true` (atomic). +3. On next ledger close, `LedgerManager` checks `shouldRunInvariantSnapshot()`, snapshots state, calls `markStartOfInvariantSnapshot()` (sets running flag, clears should-run flag), and dispatches `runStateSnapshotInvariant()` on a background thread. +4. Background thread iterates all enabled invariants calling `checkSnapshot()`. On completion, clears `mStateSnapshotInvariantRunning` via `gsl::finally`. +5. If a snapshot scan throws, `printErrorAndAbort` is called to match strict invariant failure behavior. + +### Thread Safety + +- `mFailureInformation` is protected by `mFailureInformationMutex` (accessed from both main thread and background snapshot thread via `onInvariantFailure()`). +- `mStateSnapshotInvariantRunning` and `mShouldRunStateSnapshotInvariant` are `atomic` for lock-free coordination between the timer callback, LedgerManager, and background thread. + +--- + +## Ownership and Data Flow + +- `Application` owns the `InvariantManager` (via `unique_ptr`). +- `InvariantManagerImpl` owns all registered invariants (`shared_ptr` in `mInvariants` map and duplicated in `mEnabled` vector). +- Most invariants are stateless (compute results from the `LedgerTxnDelta` or snapshots passed in). Exceptions: + - `BucketListIsConsistentWithDatabase` holds an `Application&` reference for DB/BucketManager access. + - `OrderBookIsNotCrossed` maintains a `mOrderBook` across calls. + - `ConservationOfLumens` and `LedgerEntryIsValid` store `AssetContractInfo` (computed at registration time from network ID). + - `EventsAreConsistentWithEntryDiffs` stores a `Hash const&` to the network ID. + +### Registration Pattern + +Each invariant provides a static `registerInvariant(Application&)` method that constructs the invariant with any needed dependencies and calls `app.getInvariantManager().registerInvariant(args...)`. Registration happens at application startup.

One per application. + +**Key inner class `LedgerTxnRoot::Impl`:** +- `mEntryCache` (`RandomEvictionCache`) — LRU cache of recently-loaded entries from DB. +- `mBestOffers` — Cache of best offers per asset pair, loaded lazily from DB in batches. +- `mSearchableBucketListSnapshot` — BucketList snapshot for Soroban entry lookups. +- `mInMemorySorobanState` — Reference to the in-memory Soroban state for fast lookups of contract data/code/TTL. +- `mSession` — Database session wrapper. +- `mBulkLoadBatchSize` — Controls batch size for SQL bulk loads. +- `mTransaction` — Active SQL transaction (SERIALIZABLE isolation). +- Prefetch tracking: `mPrefetchHits`, `mPrefetchMisses`. + +### `LedgerEntryPtr` + +A smart pointer wrapper around `InternalLedgerEntry` with state tracking: `INIT` (created at this level), `LIVE` (modified at this level), `DELETED` (deleted at this level). Used within `LedgerTxn::Impl::mEntry`. + +### `LedgerTxnEntry` / `ConstLedgerTxnEntry` + +Client-facing handles for accessing ledger entries. Uses double-indirection (weak_ptr to Impl) to enforce the invariant that only the innermost LedgerTxn's entries are accessible. Move-only (no copy). Key methods: `current()`, `currentGeneralized()`, `deactivate()`, `erase()`. + +### `LedgerTxnHeader` + +Handle for accessing the `LedgerHeader` within a `LedgerTxn`. Same double-indirection pattern as `LedgerTxnEntry`. + +--- + +### `InternalLedgerEntry` / `InternalLedgerKey` + +Extended entry/key types wrapping XDR `LedgerEntry`/`LedgerKey` with additional discriminated-union variants: +- `LEDGER_ENTRY` — Normal XDR ledger entry. +- `SPONSORSHIP` — Tracks sponsoredID↔sponsoringID relationships. +- `SPONSORSHIP_COUNTER` — Counts how many entries an account sponsors. +- `MAX_SEQ_NUM_TO_APPLY` — Tracks maximum sequence number constraints. + +These are used internally by the `LedgerTxn` subsystem and are not persisted to the database directly as their own table types—they are tracked alongside the regular ledger entries in the in-memory transaction maps. + +--- + +### `SorobanNetworkConfig` + +Holds all Soroban contract-related network configuration parameters loaded from ledger entries (config settings). Constructed via `loadFromLedger()`. + +**Key setting groups:** +- **Contract size:** `maxContractSizeBytes`, `maxContractDataKeySizeBytes`, `maxContractDataEntrySizeBytes`. +- **Compute:** `ledgerMaxInstructions`, `txMaxInstructions`, `txMemoryLimit`, `feeRatePerInstructionsIncrement`. +- **Ledger access:** `ledgerMaxDiskReadEntries/Bytes`, `ledgerMaxWriteLedgerEntries/Bytes`, `txMaxDiskReadEntries/Bytes`, `txMaxWriteLedgerEntries/Bytes`, per-entry and per-KB fees. +- **Bandwidth:** `ledgerMaxTransactionSizesBytes`, `txMaxSizeBytes`, `feeTransactionSize1KB`. +- **Events:** `txMaxContractEventsSizeBytes`, `feeContractEventsSize1KB`. +- **State archival:** `StateArchivalSettings`, `EvictionIterator`, rent rates, lifetime bounds. +- **Parallel execution:** `ledgerMaxDependentTxClusters`. +- **SCP timing:** `ledgerTargetCloseTimeMilliseconds`, nomination/ballot timeout settings. +- **Cost model:** `cpuCostParams`, `memCostParams` (contract cost parameters for the Soroban host). + +Static methods like `createLedgerEntriesForV20()`, `createCostTypesForV21/V22/V25()`, `createAndUpdateLedgerEntriesForV23()` handle protocol upgrade initialization of config entries. + +--- + +### `InMemorySorobanState` + +In-memory cache of all live Soroban contract data, contract code, and their TTLs. Updated each ledger. NOT thread-safe for concurrent reads+writes; callers must ensure exclusivity. + +**Key members:** +- `mContractDataEntries` (`unordered_set`) — ContractData entries indexed by TTL key hash, using a custom polymorphic entry type to save memory (avoids storing the key twice). +- `mContractCodeEntries` (`unordered_map`) — ContractCode entries indexed by TTL key hash. +- `mPendingTTLs` — Temporary buffer for TTLs arriving before their data during initialization. +- `mContractCodeStateSize`, `mContractDataStateSize` — Running size totals for rent fee computation. + +**Key methods:** +- `initializeStateFromSnapshot(snap, ledgerVersion)` — Populates from BucketList snapshot. +- `updateState(initEntries, liveEntries, deadEntries, header, sorobanConfig)` — Incremental per-ledger update. +- `get(LedgerKey)` — Returns entry or nullptr. +- `getSize()` — Total in-memory state size for rent calculations. +- `recomputeContractCodeSize(...)` — Recomputes code sizes after config/protocol upgrades. + +--- + +### `LedgerSnapshot` / `CompleteConstLedgerState` + +**`LedgerSnapshot`:** Short-lived read-only snapshot over either SQL (via `LedgerTxnReadOnly`) or BucketList (via `BucketSnapshotState`). Should not persist across ledger boundaries. Provides `getLedgerHeader()`, `getAccount()`, `load()`. + +**`CompleteConstLedgerState`:** Immutable bundle of all ledger state at a specific sequence: BucketList snapshot, hot archive snapshot, Soroban config, ledger header, and HAS. Stored as the LCL in `LedgerManagerImpl::mLastClosedLedgerState`. + +### `LedgerEntryWrapper` / `LedgerHeaderWrapper` + +Variant wrappers that unify `LedgerTxnEntry`/`ConstLedgerTxnEntry`/`shared_ptr` (and `LedgerTxnHeader`/`shared_ptr`) behind a common read interface, used by the snapshot abstractions. + +--- + +### `LedgerCloseMetaFrame` + +Wraps `LedgerCloseMeta` XDR. Built during `applyLedger()` to record per-transaction fee processing, tx execution meta, upgrade processing, evicted entries, and network configuration. Streamed to external consumers. + +### `SharedModuleCacheCompiler` + +Multi-threaded producer-consumer for compiling Soroban Wasm contracts. A loader thread reads contracts from the BucketList snapshot and pushes Wasm blobs; N-1 compiler threads pop and compile them into the module cache. Uses condition variables for flow control with a byte-capacity buffer. + +### `SorobanMetrics` + +Aggregates ledger-wide and per-tx Soroban resource usage metrics (CPU instructions, read/write bytes/entries, event sizes, host function execution times). Uses atomic counters for thread-safe accumulation during parallel apply. + +--- + +### `LedgerEntryScope` / `ScopedLedgerEntry` + +Template-based compile-time + runtime scope-checking system for ledger entries. Prevents cross-thread and cross-phase access bugs. + +**Static scopes** (enum `StaticLedgerEntryScope`): `GlobalParApply`, `ThreadParApply`, `TxParApply`, `LclSnapshot`, `HotArchive`, `RawBucket`. + +**Scope transitions** (allowed adoptions): `GlobalParApply ↔ ThreadParApply`, `ThreadParApply ↔ TxParApply`. + +Each scope has activation/deactivation to prevent stale reads from outer scopes. `DeactivateScopeGuard` provides RAII deactivation. + +### `TrustLineWrapper` / `ConstTrustLineWrapper` + +Safe wrappers for trust line operations. Handles the special case of issuer accounts (which have no actual trust line entry but behave as if they have infinite balance). Provides `getBalance()`, `addBalance()`, `getBuyingLiabilities()`, `getSellingLiabilities()`, `addBuyingLiabilities()`, `addSellingLiabilities()`, `isAuthorized()`, etc. + +### `RestoredEntries` + +Tracks entries restored during a ledger, in two categories: `hotArchive` (restored from hot archive BL, involves IO) and `liveBucketList` (restored from live BL where TTL expired but wasn't evicted, just TTL update). Maps `LedgerKey → LedgerEntry`. + +### `LedgerRange` / `CheckpointRange` + +Simple half-open range types. `LedgerRange(first, count)` for ledger sequences. `CheckpointRange(first, count, frequency)` for history checkpoints, with methods to convert between checkpoint and ledger ranges. + +--- + +## Key Control Flow + +### Ledger Close (Normal Path) + +1. **Herder** calls `LedgerManager::valueExternalized()` with `LedgerCloseData` containing the consensus tx set. +2. `LedgerApplyManager` queues the ledger and posts to the apply thread. +3. Apply thread calls `LedgerManagerImpl::applyLedger()`: + a. Finishes any pending Wasm compilation. + b. Marks phase `APPLYING`. + c. Opens a `LedgerTxn` on `LedgerTxnRoot`, loads header, validates tx set hash. + d. **Prefetches** source account entries. + e. **Processes fees/seqnums** (`processFeesSeqNums`): charges fees, increments sequence numbers. + f. **Applies transactions** (`applyTransactions`): dispatches to sequential phase (classic) and parallel phase (Soroban). Classic txs are applied serially. Soroban txs are grouped into stages/clusters and executed in parallel on worker threads. + g. Marks phase `COMMITTING`. + h. **Applies upgrades** from SCP value. + i. **Seals** the LedgerTxn, writes to BucketList and DB, runs invariants (`sealLedgerTxnAndStoreInBucketsAndDB`). + j. Emits ledger close meta if streaming is enabled. + k. **Commits** the SQL transaction. + l. Starts background eviction scan for next ledger. + m. Marks phase `READY_TO_APPLY` (end of committing). + n. Posts `advanceLedgerStateAndPublish` back to main thread (or calls directly if on main thread). +4. Main thread in `advanceLedgerStateAndPublish`: + a. Publishes any pending history checkpoint. + b. GCs unreferenced buckets. + c. Updates LCL state. + d. Triggers next ledger in Herder. + +### Parallel Soroban Apply + +Soroban transactions are organized into **stages**, each containing independent **clusters** of transactions. Within a stage: +1. `applySorobanStage` creates a `GlobalParallelApplyLedgerState` from the current LedgerTxn state. +2. `applySorobanStageClustersInParallel` spawns worker threads, each running `applyThread` on one cluster. +3. Worker threads execute transactions using read-only snapshots of ledger state. Changes are accumulated but not committed. +4. After all threads complete, results are merged back by the primary apply thread. + +### LedgerTxn Commit Flow + +When a `LedgerTxn` commits: +- If parent is another `LedgerTxn`: entries from `mEntry` are merged into parent's `mEntry` via `commitChild`. Parent's `mWorstBestOffer` and `mRestoredEntries` are updated. +- If parent is `LedgerTxnRoot`: opens a SQL transaction, iterates all entries via `EntryIterator`, applies bulk SQL operations (inserts to BucketList, upserts/deletes for offers in SQL), clears the entry cache. + +--- + +## Ownership Relationships + +- `Application` owns one `LedgerManagerImpl` and one `LedgerTxnRoot`. +- `LedgerManagerImpl` owns `ApplyState` (which owns `InMemorySorobanState`, `SorobanModuleCache`, `SharedModuleCacheCompiler`, `LedgerApplyMetrics`) and `CompleteConstLedgerStatePtr` (LCL state). +- `LedgerTxnRoot` holds a reference to `InMemorySorobanState` (owned by `ApplyState`), owns `EntryCache`, `BestOffers` cache, and the SQL `SessionWrapper`. +- `LedgerTxn` holds a reference to its parent (`AbstractLedgerTxnParent&`) and owns its `Impl` (which owns `EntryMap`, `ActiveMap`, `MultiOrderBook`, `WorstBestOfferMap`). +- `LedgerTxnEntry` weakly references its `Impl` (which references back to the owning `LedgerTxn`). +- `CompleteConstLedgerState` owns immutable snapshots of BucketList, hot archive, Soroban config, header, and HAS. + +## Key Data Flows + +1. **Consensus → Apply:** `LedgerCloseData` (tx set + hash) flows from Herder/SCP → `LedgerApplyManager` → apply thread → `LedgerManagerImpl::applyLedger()`. +2. **Apply → BucketList:** `LedgerTxn::getAllEntries()` extracts init/live/dead entries → `BucketManager::addLiveBatch()` and `addHotArchiveBatch()`. +3. **Apply → SQL:** `LedgerTxnRoot::commitChild()` writes offer changes to SQL via bulk operations; `LedgerHeaderUtils::storeInDatabase()` persists ledger headers. +4. **Apply → InMemorySorobanState:** After sealing the LedgerTxn, `ApplyState::updateInMemorySorobanState()` applies init/live/dead entries to the in-memory Soroban cache. +5. **Apply → Meta Stream:** `LedgerCloseMetaFrame` accumulates per-tx meta during apply, then is emitted via `mMetaStream`. +6. **Apply → Main Thread:** `CompleteConstLedgerState` (new LCL) is posted from apply thread to main thread via `advanceLedgerStateAndPublish()`. +7. **Startup/Catchup → State:** `loadLastKnownLedger()` or `setLastClosedLedger()` initializes LCL state, populates `InMemorySorobanState` from BucketList snapshot, and compiles the Soroban module cache. diff --git a/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-main/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-main/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..761d3381a2 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-main/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,368 @@ +--- +name: subsystem-summary-of-main +description: "read this skill for a token-efficient summary of the main subsystem" +--- + +# Main Subsystem — Technical Summary + +## Overview + +The main subsystem is the central orchestration layer of stellar-core.

After auth: peers send `SEND_MORE_EXTENDED` to indicate initial reading capacity, exchange peer lists, start adverts. + +### Transaction Flooding (Pull Mode) +1. Herder calls `OverlayManager::broadcastMessage(tx_msg, hash)`. +2. `Floodgate::broadcast()` sends `FLOOD_ADVERT` (hash only) to each peer not already told. +3. Per-peer `TxAdverts::queueOutgoingAdvert()` batches hashes; flushed on timer or batch full. +4. Remote peer receives advert → `Peer::recvFloodAdvert()` → `TxAdverts::queueIncomingAdvert()`. +5. `TxDemandsManager::demand()` timer fires → picks hashes from peers → sends `FLOOD_DEMAND`. +6. Remote peer receives demand → `TxDemandsManager::recvTxDemand()` → looks up tx in Herder → sends full `TRANSACTION` message back. +7. `Peer::recvTransaction()` → `OverlayManager::recvTransaction()` → `Herder::recvTransaction()`. + +### SCP Message Flooding (Push Mode) +1. Herder calls `broadcastMessage(scp_msg)`. +2. `Floodgate::broadcast()` sends full `SCP_MESSAGE` to all peers not yet told. +3. Messages go through `FlowControl::addMsgAndMaybeTrimQueue()` with priority 0 (highest). +4. Remote peer receives → `recvSCPMessage()` → posted to main thread → dispatched to Herder. + +### Anycast Fetch (TX Sets / Quorum Sets) +1. Herder needs a tx set or quorum set → calls `ItemFetcher::fetch(hash, envelope)`. +2. `ItemFetcher` creates/reuses a `Tracker` for the hash. +3. `Tracker::tryNextPeer()` picks a peer, sends `GET_TX_SET` or `GET_SCP_QUORUMSET`. +4. Remote peer responds with the data, or `DONT_HAVE`. +5. On `DONT_HAVE`: `Tracker::doesntHave()` → try next peer. +6. On receipt: `ItemFetcher::recv()` → cancel tracker → re-submit waiting envelopes to Herder. + +### Flow Control +1. On connection, both sides start with initial flood reading capacity (messages + bytes). +2. When peer sends flood data, it consumes outbound capacity (`lockOutboundCapacity`). +3. Receiver processes message, releasing local capacity via `endMessageProcessing()`. +4. When enough capacity freed (batch threshold), receiver sends `SEND_MORE_EXTENDED(numMessages, numBytes)`. +5. Sender receives `SEND_MORE_EXTENDED` → `FlowControl::maybeReleaseCapacity()` → unlocks outbound capacity → can send more. +6. If outbound capacity exhausted, messages queue up. Oldest tx messages are shed if byte limit exceeded. +7. If reading capacity exhausted, `maybeThrottleRead()` stops scheduling reads until capacity is freed. diff --git a/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-process/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-process/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f888abfcf9 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-process/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,199 @@ +--- +name: subsystem-summary-of-process +description: "read this skill for a token-efficient summary of the process subsystem" +--- + +# Process Subsystem — Technical Summary + +## Overview + +The process subsystem provides asynchronous subprocess management for stellar-core, wrapping platform-specific process spawning (POSIX `posix_spawnp` and Windows `CreateProcess`) behind a unified asio-integrated interface. It enables running external commands (e.g., history archival tools like `gzip`, `gunzip`, `curl`) asynchronously, with configurable concurrency limits, output file capture, graceful shutdown, and process lifecycle tracking. No facilities exist for reading/writing subprocess I/O ports — this is strictly for "run a command, wait to see if it worked." + +## Key Files + +- **ProcessManager.h** — Abstract interface `ProcessManager` and the `ProcessExitEvent` class for async process completion notification. +- **ProcessManagerImpl.h / ProcessManagerImpl.cpp** — Concrete implementation of `ProcessManager`; contains all lifecycle management, platform-specific spawning, signal handling, and shutdown logic. +- **PosixSpawnFileActions.h / PosixSpawnFileActions.cpp** — POSIX-only RAII wrapper around `posix_spawn_file_actions_t` for redirecting subprocess stdout to a file. + +--- + +## Key Classes and Data Structures + +### `ProcessManager` (abstract, inherits `std::enable_shared_from_this`, `NonMovableOrCopyable`) + +The public interface for subprocess management. One `ProcessManager` exists per `Application` instance, created via the static factory `ProcessManager::create(Application&)`. + +**Key virtual methods:** +- `runProcess(cmdLine, outputFile)` → `std::weak_ptr` — Queues or immediately launches a subprocess. If `outputFile` is non-empty, stdout is captured to a temp file and atomically renamed on success. +- `getNumRunningProcesses()` — Count of active (non-shutting-down) child processes. +- `getNumRunningOrShuttingDownProcesses()` — Count of all tracked child processes including those being terminated. +- `tryProcessShutdown(pe)` — Synchronously cancels a `ProcessExitEvent` and attempts to terminate the associated process (SIGTERM on POSIX, `GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent` on Windows). Returns `true` if the termination signal was sent successfully. +- `shutdown()` — Marks the manager as shut down, cancels all pending processes, and attempts polite shutdown of all running processes. +- `isShutdown()` — Returns whether shutdown has been initiated. + +### `ProcessExitEvent` + +An asio-compatible event object that clients use to await subprocess completion. It simulates an event notifier using a `RealTimer` set to maximum duration. When the subprocess exits (or is cancelled), the timer is cancelled with an appropriate error code. + +**Members:** +- `mTimer` (`std::shared_ptr`) — The underlying asio timer used for async waiting. +- `mImpl` (`std::shared_ptr`) — Platform-specific implementation details (command line, output file, process handle, lifecycle state). +- `mEc` (`std::shared_ptr`) — Shared error code for communicating the real exit status past asio's timer cancellation (which always delivers `operation_aborted`). + +**Key methods:** +- `async_wait(handler)` — Registers a callback that fires when the process exits. The handler receives an `asio::error_code` where a zero value means success, and a non-zero value encodes the process exit status. + +### `ProcessExitEvent::Impl` (internal, inherits `std::enable_shared_from_this`) + +Holds all per-process state and manages the platform-specific spawning logic. + +**Members:** +- `mOuterTimer` / `mOuterEc` — Shared pointers back to the owning `ProcessExitEvent`'s timer and error code. +- `mCmdLine` (`std::string const`) — The command line to execute. +- `mOutFile` (`std::string const`) — The desired final output file path (may be empty if no capture). +- `mTempFile` (`std::string const`) — Temporary file path for capturing stdout before atomic rename. +- `mLifecycle` (`ProcessLifecycle`) — Tracks the process through its states. +- `mProcessId` (`int`) — PID of the spawned process (-1 before launch). +- `mProcessHandle` (Windows only, `asio::windows::object_handle`) — Waitable handle for the Windows process object. +- `mProcManagerImpl` (`std::weak_ptr`) — Weak back-reference to the owning manager. + +**Key methods:** +- `run()` — Platform-specific process spawning. On POSIX: splits the command line, sets up `PosixSpawnFileActions` for output redirection, sets `FD_CLOEXEC` on all open file descriptors ≥ 3, then calls `posix_spawnp()`. On Windows: sets up `STARTUPINFOEX` with inheritable handles, calls `CreateProcess()`, and registers an async wait on the process handle. +- `finish()` — Called on termination; renames the temp file to the final output file (atomic move). Returns `false` if the rename fails. +- `cancel(ec)` — Sets the outer error code and cancels the outer timer, firing all registered `async_wait` handlers. + +### `ProcessManagerImpl` (inherits `ProcessManager`) + +The concrete implementation that manages the full lifecycle of subprocesses. + +**Members:** +- `mProcessesMutex` (`std::recursive_mutex`) — Guards `mProcesses` and `mPending` since subprocess exits arrive asynchronously. +- `mProcesses` (`std::map>`) — Maps PID to running or shutting-down processes. +- `mPending` (`std::deque>`) — Queue of processes waiting to be launched (when concurrency limit is reached). +- `mIsShutdown` (`bool`) — Set once `shutdown()` is called. +- `mMaxProcesses` (`size_t const`) — Maximum concurrent subprocesses, from `Config::MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES`. +- `mIOContext` (`asio::io_context&`) — The application's I/O context for async operations. +- `mSigChild` (`asio::signal_set`) — On POSIX, listens for `SIGCHLD` to detect child process exits. Unused on Windows. +- `mTmpDir` (`std::unique_ptr`) — Temporary directory for capturing subprocess output files. +- `mTempFileCount` (`uint64_t`) — Monotonic counter for generating unique temp file names. + +### `ProcessLifecycle` (enum, anonymous namespace) + +Tracks the state of a subprocess through its lifetime: +- `PENDING` (0) — Queued, not yet spawned. +- `RUNNING` (1) — Spawned, waiting for exit. +- `TRIED_POLITE_SHUTDOWN` (2) — SIGTERM (POSIX) or CTRL_C_EVENT (Windows) sent. +- `TRIED_FORCED_SHUTDOWN` (3) — SIGKILL (POSIX) or TerminateProcess (Windows) sent. +- `TERMINATED` (5) — Exit detected and handled. + +### `PosixSpawnFileActions` (POSIX only) + +RAII wrapper around `posix_spawn_file_actions_t`. Lazily initializes the actions object on first `addOpen()` call. Provides an implicit conversion to `posix_spawn_file_actions_t*` (returns `nullptr` if never initialized, meaning no file actions). + +**Key methods:** +- `addOpen(fildes, fileName, oflag, mode)` — Registers a file-open action for the child process (used to redirect fd 1 / stdout to a temp file). +- `initialize()` — Calls `posix_spawn_file_actions_init()`; idempotent. +- Destructor calls `posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy()` if initialized. + +--- + +## Key Control Flows + +### Process Launch Flow + +1. Client calls `ProcessManagerImpl::runProcess(cmdLine, outFile)`. +2. A new `ProcessExitEvent` is created with a `RealTimer` set to max duration. +3. A `ProcessExitEvent::Impl` is created holding the command line, output file, a generated temp file path, and a weak reference to the manager. +4. The event is pushed onto `mPending`. +5. `maybeRunPendingProcesses()` is called, which pops events from `mPending` while `getNumRunningOrShuttingDownProcesses() < mMaxProcesses`. +6. For each dequeued event, `Impl::run()` is called: + - **POSIX:** Command line is split on whitespace into argv. `PosixSpawnFileActions` is set up if output capture is needed. All file descriptors ≥ 3 are marked `FD_CLOEXEC`. `posix_spawnp()` is called. Lifecycle transitions to `RUNNING`. + - **Windows:** `STARTUPINFOEX` and handle inheritance are configured. `CreateProcess()` is called with `CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP`. An async wait is registered on the process handle. Lifecycle transitions to `RUNNING`. +7. The PID is recorded in `mProcesses`. +8. A `weak_ptr` is returned to the caller, who calls `async_wait()` to register a completion handler. + +### Process Exit Handling (POSIX) + +1. `SIGCHLD` arrives, handled by `asio::signal_set` → `handleSignalChild()`. +2. `handleSignalChild()` re-registers the signal handler (via `startWaitingForSignalChild()`), then calls `reapChildren()`. +3. `reapChildren()` iterates all tracked PIDs, calling `waitpid(pid, &status, WNOHANG)` for each. +4. For each successfully reaped child, `handleProcessTermination(pid, status)` is called. +5. `handleProcessTermination()` maps the exit status to an `asio::error_code` (via `mapExitStatusToErrorCode`), calls `Impl::finish()` to rename the temp output file, removes the process from `mProcesses`, calls `maybeRunPendingProcesses()` to launch queued processes, then fires the callback via `Impl::cancel(ec)`. + +### Process Exit Handling (Windows) + +1. The `asio::windows::object_handle::async_wait` fires when the process handle becomes signaled. +2. The callback calls `GetExitCodeProcess()` and passes the result to `handleProcessTermination()`. +3. The rest follows the same flow as POSIX. + +### Shutdown Flow + +1. `shutdown()` sets `mIsShutdown = true`. +2. All pending (not yet launched) processes are cancelled with `ABORT_ERROR_CODE`. +3. `tryProcessShutdownAll()` iterates all running processes and calls `tryProcessShutdown()` on each. +4. `tryProcessShutdown()` uses a two-phase approach based on lifecycle state: + - If `RUNNING`: calls `politeShutdown()` (SIGTERM / CTRL_C_EVENT), advances to `TRIED_POLITE_SHUTDOWN`. + - If `TRIED_POLITE_SHUTDOWN`: calls `forcedShutdown()` (SIGKILL / TerminateProcess), advances to `TRIED_FORCED_SHUTDOWN`. +5. The destructor (`~ProcessManagerImpl()`) ensures cleanup: it cancels the `SIGCHLD` handler, calls `shutdown()`, then loops up to 3 times sleeping 10ms, reaping children, and re-triggering progressively more forceful shutdown. + +### Concurrency Control + +- The maximum number of concurrent subprocesses is controlled by `mMaxProcesses` (from `Config::MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES`). +- When the limit is reached, new processes are queued in `mPending` (a FIFO deque). +- After each process exit (`handleProcessTermination`), `maybeRunPendingProcesses()` is called to launch queued processes up to the limit. +- All access to `mProcesses` and `mPending` is guarded by `mProcessesMutex` (a recursive mutex), since process exits arrive asynchronously from signal handlers or async I/O callbacks. + +--- + +## Ownership Relationships + +``` +Application + └── ProcessManagerImpl (shared_ptr, via ProcessManager::create) + ├── mProcesses: map> + │ └── ProcessExitEvent + │ ├── mTimer: shared_ptr + │ ├── mEc: shared_ptr + │ └── mImpl: shared_ptr + │ └── mProcManagerImpl: weak_ptr (back-ref) + ├── mPending: deque> + ├── mSigChild: asio::signal_set (POSIX only) + └── mTmpDir: unique_ptr +``` + +- `ProcessManagerImpl` owns all `ProcessExitEvent` objects (via `mProcesses` and `mPending`). +- `ProcessExitEvent::Impl` holds a `weak_ptr` back to `ProcessManagerImpl` to avoid circular ownership. +- Callers receive a `weak_ptr` from `runProcess()`, so the manager controls the event's lifetime. +- The `Impl::run()` method on Windows captures a `shared_from_this()` to keep `Impl` alive through the async wait callback. + +--- + +## Key Data Flows + +1. **Command → Process:** `runProcess(cmdLine, outFile)` → queued in `mPending` → dequeued by `maybeRunPendingProcesses()` → `Impl::run()` spawns the OS process. +2. **Process Exit → Callback:** OS signal (SIGCHLD) or handle wait → `reapChildren()` / handle callback → `handleProcessTermination()` → `Impl::finish()` (rename temp file) → `Impl::cancel(ec)` → timer cancelled → `async_wait` handler fires with exit code. +3. **Output Capture:** Subprocess stdout is redirected to a temp file in `mTmpDir`. On successful termination, `Impl::finish()` atomically renames the temp file to the requested output file path. If the output file already exists, the rename fails and an error is propagated. +4. **Exit Code Mapping:** `mapExitStatusToErrorCode()` translates OS-level exit status (including POSIX `WIFEXITED`/`WEXITSTATUS` macros) into `asio::error_code`. Special handling for exit code 127 on Linux (likely missing command). On Windows, the exit code is used directly. +5. **Shutdown Signal Flow:** `shutdown()` → cancel pending → polite shutdown (SIGTERM) → forced shutdown (SIGKILL) → destructor reaps remaining children with retry loop. + +--- + +## Platform Differences + +| Aspect | POSIX | Windows | +|--------|-------|---------| +| Process spawning | `posix_spawnp()` | `CreateProcess()` with `EXTENDED_STARTUPINFO_PRESENT` | +| Exit detection | `SIGCHLD` via `asio::signal_set` + `waitpid(WNOHANG)` | `asio::windows::object_handle::async_wait` | +| Output redirection | `posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen()` on fd 1 | `CreateFile()` + `STARTF_USESTDHANDLES` | +| Polite shutdown | `kill(pid, SIGTERM)` | `GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(CTRL_C_EVENT, pid)` | +| Forced shutdown | `kill(pid, SIGKILL)` | `TerminateProcess()` | +| FD cleanup | `FD_CLOEXEC` on fds 3..SC_OPEN_MAX (with gap heuristic) | Handle inheritance via `PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST` | + +--- + +## Error Handling Notes + +- If `posix_spawnp()` or `CreateProcess()` fails, the `ProcessExitEvent` is cancelled with `std::errc::io_error` and the error is logged. +- On Linux, exit code 127 triggers a prominent warning about a likely missing command (since `posix_spawnp` does not fault on file-not-found in the parent). +- The timer-based `async_wait` pattern works around asio always delivering `operation_aborted` on timer cancel: the real error code is stored in a shared `mEc` variable and the handler reads from that instead of using the asio-provided code. +- `checkInvariants()` validates consistency: pending processes must be in `PENDING` state, running processes must not be `PENDING`, and PIDs must match map keys.

New fields are added via new case arms. +2. **Envelope pattern**: Data (Transaction, SCP statement) is wrapped in an envelope with signatures for authentication. +3. **Result codes**: Every operation has a `*ResultCode` enum (success = 0, failures < 0) and a `*Result` union. +4. **Fee bump structure**: `FeeBumpTransaction` wraps `TransactionV1Envelope` as `innerTx`, enabling fee sponsorship. `TransactionResult` has special codes `txFEE_BUMP_INNER_SUCCESS/FAILED` that carry `InnerTransactionResultPair`. +5. **Soroban integration**: Soroban operations (`INVOKE_HOST_FUNCTION`, `EXTEND_FOOTPRINT_TTL`, `RESTORE_FOOTPRINT`) use `SorobanTransactionData` for resource declarations and `SorobanAuthorizationEntry` for per-address authorization trees. +6. **Parallel execution support**: `ParallelTxsComponent` and `ParallelTxExecutionStage` organize transactions into dependency-aware clusters for parallel application. diff --git a/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-rust/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-rust/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6ecb973ee4 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-rust/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,247 @@ +--- +name: subsystem-summary-of-rust +description: "read this skill for a token-efficient summary of the rust subsystem" +--- + +# Rust Subsystem (Non-Soroban) — Technical Summary + +## Overview + +The rust subsystem provides a Rust static library (`rust_stellar_core`) that is linked into the stellar-core C++ binary. It uses the `cxx` crate (v1.0.97) to define a bidirectional FFI bridge between C++ and Rust. The subsystem's primary responsibilities are: + +1. **Soroban host function invocation** — dispatching to the correct protocol-versioned soroban host. +2. **Fee computation** — transaction resource fees, rent fees, and rent write fees. +3. **Module caching** — pre-compiled WASM module cache for Soroban contracts. +4. **128-bit integer arithmetic** — exposing Rust's native `i128` to C++. +5. **Base64 encoding/decoding** — used for XDR serialization interop. +6. **Ed25519 signature verification** — using `ed25519-dalek` for faster verification. +7. **Logging bridge** — routing Rust `log` crate output to the C++ spdlog system. +8. **Quorum intersection checking** — using the `stellar-quorum-analyzer` SAT solver. +9. **Utility functions** — rustc version, executable path, backtrace capture, XDR version checks. + +The crate is built as `crate-type = ["staticlib"]` (edition 2021, rust-version 1.82.0).

Both implement `AsRef<[u8]>`. + +### `CxxI128` +Split representation of 128-bit integer: `{ hi: i64, lo: u64 }`. Used because C++ lacks native `i128` on all platforms. Converted to/from Rust `i128` via `int128_helpers::{i128_from_pieces, i128_hi, i128_lo}`. + +### `InvokeHostFunctionOutput` +Return value of `invoke_host_function`.

Fields include `max_proto`, `invoke_host_function`, `compute_transaction_resource_fee`, `compute_rent_fee`, `compute_rent_write_fee_per_1kb`, `contract_code_memory_size_for_rent`, `can_parse_transaction`, and `get_soroban_version_info`. The static array `HOST_MODULES` holds one entry per protocol version (p21–p25/p26), populated via the `proto_versioned_functions_for_module!` macro. + +### `ProtocolSpecificModuleCache` +Per-protocol cache wrapper (defined in `soroban_proto_any.rs`). Wraps a `ModuleCache` from the protocol's soroban-env-host and a `CoreCompilationContext` (unlimited budget for compilation).

Uses `ed25519-dalek`'s `verify_strict` (rejects small-order points, matching libsodium). Never panics; returns false for invalid input. + +### Base64 +- `to_base64(b: &CxxVector, s: Pin<&mut CxxString>)` — Encode bytes to base64. +- `from_base64(s: &CxxString, b: Pin<&mut CxxVector>)` — Decode base64 with error-tolerant stripping of invalid characters. + +### Logging +- `init_logging(maxLevel: LogLevel) -> Result<()>` — Initializes the `StellarLogger` as the global Rust logger, routing to C++ spdlog. Uses `AtomicBool` for one-time initialization. Log partitions (e.g., `TX`, `Ledger`, `SCP`) are defined in `log::partition` and must match `util/LogPartitions.def` on the C++ side. + +### Quorum Checker +- `network_enjoys_quorum_intersection(nodes: &Vec, quorum_set: &Vec, potential_split: &mut QuorumSplit, resource_limit: &QuorumCheckerResource, resource_usage: &mut QuorumCheckerResource) -> Result` — Returns `UNSAT` (quorum intersection holds), `SAT` (split found, populates `potential_split`), or `UNKNOWN`. Time limit enforced internally; memory limit is a hard abort via global allocator. + +### Module Cache +- `new_module_cache() -> Result>` +- Methods on `SorobanModuleCache`: `compile`, `shallow_clone`, `evict_contract_code`, `clear`, `contains_module`, `get_mem_bytes_consumed`. + +### Utility +- `get_rustc_version() -> String` +- `current_exe() -> Result` +- `capture_cxx_backtrace() -> String` — Uses `backtrace` crate; filters out initial Rust frames and libc frames. +- `get_soroban_version_info(core_max_proto: u32) -> Vec` — Returns version info for all linked soroban hosts. Panics if no host supports the given protocol. +- `check_sensible_soroban_config_for_protocol(core_max_proto: u32)` — Validates HOST_MODULES are in ascending order and cover the max protocol. +- `check_xdr_version_identities() -> Result<()>` — Compares XDR file SHA256 hashes across crates. + +## Multi-Protocol Soroban Host Architecture + +### Design + +stellar-core links multiple versions of `soroban-env-host` simultaneously, one per protocol version range. Each is labeled by its maximum supported protocol (e.g., `soroban-env-host-p21` supports protocols up to 21). At runtime, `get_host_module_for_protocol(config_max_proto, ledger_protocol)` selects the appropriate host. + +### Implementation pattern + +`soroban_proto_all.rs` defines adaptor modules `p21`, `p22`, `p23`, `p24`, `p25`, and conditionally `p26` (behind `next` feature). Each adaptor: +1. Imports its specific `soroban_env_host_pNN` crate and re-exports it as `soroban_env_host`. +2. Provides adapter functions for API differences between host versions (e.g., different field names in `TransactionResources`, `RentFeeConfiguration`). +3. Mounts `soroban_proto_any.rs` as a child module — this file is the same source but "sees" a different `super::soroban_env_host` in each context. +4. Defines stub types (`ModuleCache`, `ErrorHandler`, `CompilationContext`) for older protocols (p21, p22) that don't support the reusable module cache API. + +### Protocol dispatch + +The `HOST_MODULES` static array maps protocol ranges to `HostModule` structs containing function pointers. `get_host_module_for_protocol` iterates this array: each entry's implied minimum protocol is one more than the previous entry's `max_proto` (first entry starts at 0). + +### Aliases + +- `soroban_curr` — alias for the latest non-next host (p25, or p26 with `next`). +- `protocol_agnostic` — re-exports from p24 that are stable across versions (e.g., `int128_helpers`, `make_error`). + +## Key Data Flows + +### C++ → Soroban Invocation → C++ +1. C++ constructs `CxxBuf` objects containing XDR-serialized data (host function, resources, ledger entries, etc.) and a `CxxLedgerInfo`. +2. Calls `stellar::rust_bridge::invoke_host_function(...)` which crosses the FFI boundary. +3. Rust dispatches to the correct `HostModule` based on `(config_max_protocol, ledger_info.protocol_version)`. +4. The protocol-specific `invoke_host_function` in `soroban_proto_any.rs` deserializes XDR, creates a `Budget`, optional trace hook, and calls through to `soroban_env_host::e2e_invoke::invoke_host_function`. +5. Results are re-serialized to `RustBuf` vectors and returned as `InvokeHostFunctionOutput`. +6. The C++ wrapper in `RustBridge.cpp` unwraps the result or throws `rust::Error` on failure. + +### Logging (Rust → C++) +1. Rust code calls `log::info!()` etc. +2. `StellarLogger::log()` converts the level and calls `shim_logAtPartitionAndLevel` via the extern "C++" bridge. +3.

It owns its own `TxGenerator` and all contract/account state. +- `TxGenerator` is owned by either `LoadGenerator` or `ApplyLoad`. It owns the account cache (`mAccounts`). +- `GeneratedLoadConfig` and `SorobanUpgradeConfig` are value types passed by copy through the load-generation pipeline. + +## Threading Model + +- In `OVER_LOOPBACK` mode all nodes share a single thread; `crankAllNodes()` advances node clocks sequentially. +- In `OVER_TCP` mode each node has a real-time clock; `crankAllNodes()` spins and sleeps. +- `LoadGenerator` runs entirely on the main thread, driven by `VirtualTimer` callbacks. +- `ApplyLoad` runs synchronously on the main thread; it directly closes ledgers without involving the overlay or herder flooding. diff --git a/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-soroban-env/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-soroban-env/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a6c288787f --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-soroban-env/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,292 @@ +--- +name: subsystem-summary-of-soroban-env +description: "read this skill for a token-efficient summary of the soroban-env subsystem" +--- + +# Soroban Env Subsystem (p26) — Technical Summary + +## Overview + +The Soroban environment subsystem is split into two crates: `soroban-env-common` and `soroban-env-host`. Together they define the host-guest interface for Soroban smart contracts. `soroban-env-common` defines the ABI types and trait interfaces shared between guest (Wasm) and host code. `soroban-env-host` provides the concrete `Host` implementation that executes contracts, manages storage, budgets, authorization, events, and the Wasm VM. + +The p26 host only supports protocol version 26 and later (`MIN_LEDGER_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 26`). + +--- + +## soroban-env-common + +### Val — The Universal 64-bit Value Type + +`Val` (`val.rs`) is a 64-bit (`u64`) union type that is the fundamental ABI type crossing the host-guest boundary. It uses bit-packing: + +- **Low 8 bits**: `Tag` enum indicating the type. +- **Upper 56 bits**: `body`, optionally subdivided into a 32-bit `major` and 24-bit `minor`. + +**Tag categories:** +- **Small tags (0–14)**: Values packed entirely within the 56-bit body — `False`, `True`, `Void`, `Error`, `U32Val`, `I32Val`, `U64Small`, `I64Small`, `TimepointSmall`, `DurationSmall`, `U128Small`, `I128Small`, `U256Small`, `I256Small`, `SymbolSmall`. +- **Object tags (64–78)**: Reference host-side objects via a 32-bit handle in the `major` field — `U64Object`, `I64Object`, `TimepointObject`, `DurationObject`, `U128Object`, `I128Object`, `U256Object`, `I256Object`, `BytesObject`, `StringObject`, `SymbolObject`, `VecObject`, `MapObject`, `AddressObject`, `MuxedAddressObject`. +- `Tag::Bad (0x7f)`: Sentinel for mis-tagged values. + +Small values (numbers that fit in 56 bits, symbols ≤9 chars) avoid host object allocation. Larger values overflow to host objects transparently. + +### Wrapper Types + +Type-safe wrappers around `Val` that statically guarantee the tag: +- `Object` — any object-tagged Val; carries a 32-bit handle. +- `Symbol` / `SymbolSmall` / `SymbolObject` — identifiers restricted to `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`. `SymbolSmall` packs up to 9 chars into 54 bits using 6-bit codes. `SymbolStr` is a fixed-size buffer for extracting symbol bytes. +- `Error` — tag=3, encodes `(ScErrorType: 24-bit minor, ScErrorCode: 32-bit major)`. +- Numeric wrappers: `U32Val`, `I32Val`, `U64Val`/`U64Small`/`U64Object`, `I64Val`, `U128Val`, `I128Val`, `U256Val`, `I256Val`, `TimepointVal`, `DurationVal`, plus their Small/Object variants. +- `Bool`, `Void` — singleton-like wrappers. +- `BytesObject`, `StringObject`, `MapObject`, `VecObject`, `AddressObject`, `MuxedAddressObject`. + +### Env and VmCallerEnv Traits + +`EnvBase` (`env.rs`) — base trait with associated `Error` type, integrity checks, tracing hooks, and slice-passing helper methods (`bytes_copy_from_slice`, `bytes_new_from_slice`, `map_new_from_slices`, `vec_new_from_slice`, etc.). These bypass the Wasm ABI for trusted callers. + +`Env` — generated via the `call_macro_with_all_host_functions!` x-macro from `env.json`. Declares all host functions that guest contracts can call. Each method takes and returns only 64-bit values (`Val` and wrappers). The x-macro allows the same function list to be reflected in multiple contexts (trait declaration, dispatch, function info tables). + +`VmCallerEnv` (`vmcaller_env.rs`) — variant of `Env` where each method takes an additional `&mut VmCaller` parameter, allowing host function implementations to access the Wasm `Caller` context (e.g., for linear memory access). A blanket `impl Env for T where T: VmCallerEnv` passes `VmCaller::none()` automatically, so native callers don't need to deal with `VmCaller`. + +### Convert and Compare Traits + +`Convert` — generic fallible conversion trait. `TryFromVal` / `TryIntoVal` — `Env`-aware conversion traits used to convert between Rust types and `Val` (e.g., `i64 <-> Val` goes through small-or-object path via the Env). `Compare` — `Env`-aware ordering trait (needed because comparing objects requires host access). + +### ConversionError + +Minimal uninformative error for ubiquitous tag/number conversions in Wasm, converting to `Error(ScErrorType::Value, ScErrorCode::UnexpectedType)`. + +### ScValObject / ScValObjRef + +Helper types that classify which `ScVal` variants require host-side object storage vs. fitting into a small `Val`. + +--- + +## soroban-env-host + +### Host — The Core Runtime + +`Host` (`host.rs`) is a newtype around `Rc` implementing `VmCallerEnv` (and thus `Env`). It is the concrete environment that executes Soroban contracts. `HostImpl` is a `#[derive(Clone, Default)]` struct containing all mutable state behind `RefCell`s: + +- `objects: Vec` — the host object table (indexed by absolute handles). +- `storage: Storage` — ledger entry access. +- `context_stack: Vec` — call stack of frames. +- `budget: Budget` — CPU/memory metering (Rc-shared, not deep-cloned). +- `events: InternalEventsBuffer` — contract and diagnostic events. +- `authorization_manager: AuthorizationManager` — auth tracking. +- `module_cache: Option` — cached parsed Wasm modules. +- `ledger: Option` — current ledger metadata. +- `source_account: Option` — transaction source account. +- `base_prng: Option` — seeded PRNG for deterministic randomness. +- `diagnostic_level: DiagnosticLevel` — controls debug event emission. +- `trace_hook: Option` — lifecycle tracing callback. + +Construction: `Host::with_storage_and_budget(storage, budget)` or `Host::default()`. + +Finalization: `Host::try_finish()` consumes the host (requires refcount=1) and returns `(Storage, Events)`. + +### HostObject — The Object Table + +`HostObject` (`host_object.rs`) is an enum of all host-side object types: +`Vec(HostVec)`, `Map(HostMap)`, `U64(u64)`, `I64(i64)`, `TimePoint`, `Duration`, `U128`, `I128`, `U256`, `I256`, `Bytes(ScBytes)`, `String(ScString)`, `Symbol(ScSymbol)`, `Address(ScAddress)`, `MuxedAddress(MuxedScAddress)`. + +`HostObjectType` trait: `inject(self, host) -> HostObject`, `try_extract(&HostObject) -> Option<&Self>`, `new_from_handle(u32) -> Wrapper`. + +**Object handles** have two flavors: +- **Absolute** (odd low bit): index into `Host.objects`. Used by host code and stored in host objects. +- **Relative** (even low bit): per-frame indirection table index. Used by Wasm guest code. Translation happens at the VM boundary during dispatch. + +Key methods: +- `add_host_object(hot) -> HOT::Wrapper` — pushes into the object vec, returns handle. +- `visit_obj(obj, f) -> U` — looks up object by handle, charges `VisitObject`, calls closure with `&HOT`. +- `relative_to_absolute(val)` / `absolute_to_relative(val)` — handle translation at VM boundary. + +### Frame and Context — Call Stack + +`Frame` (`host/frame.rs`) — enum of invocation types: +- `ContractVM { vm, fn_name, args, instance, relative_objects }` — Wasm contract call. +- `HostFunction(HostFunctionType)` — top-level host function invocation. +- `StellarAssetContract(ContractId, Symbol, Vec, ScContractInstance)` — built-in SAC. +- `TestContract(TestContractFrame)` — test-only. + +`Context` wraps a `Frame` with optional per-frame `Prng` and `InstanceStorageMap`. + +`RollbackPoint` captures `(StorageMap, events_len, AuthorizationManagerSnapshot)` for sub-transaction rollback. + +**`Host::with_frame(frame, f)`** — the central frame lifecycle method. Pushes a context (capturing rollback point), runs closure, pops context. On error, rolls back storage and events. Handles `Ok(Error)` returns from contracts (converts to `Err`), distinguishing contract errors from spoofed system errors. Enforces depth limit (`DEFAULT_HOST_DEPTH_LIMIT`). + +`ContractReentryMode`: `Prohibited`, `SelfAllowed`, `Allowed`. + +### Storage — Ledger Access + +`Storage` (`storage.rs`) mediates all ledger entry access with two modes: +- `FootprintMode::Recording(SnapshotSource)` — preflight mode, records accessed keys. +- `FootprintMode::Enforcing` — production mode, rejects accesses outside declared footprint. + +Components: +- `Footprint(FootprintMap)` — `MeteredOrdMap, AccessType, Budget>` mapping keys to `ReadOnly`/`ReadWrite`. +- `StorageMap` — `MeteredOrdMap, Option, Budget>` holding actual entries. +- `InstanceStorageMap` — in-memory per-contract instance storage (from `ScContractInstance.storage`), with `is_modified` flag. + +Key operations: `get`, `try_get`, `put`, `del`, `has`, `get_with_live_until_ledger`. Each checks footprint first and delegates to the underlying map. TTL extension methods handle `extend_ttl` and `restore`. + +Supported ledger entry types: `Account`, `Trustline`, `ContractData`, `ContractCode`. + +### Budget — Metering System + +`Budget` (`budget.rs`) is an `Rc>` tracking CPU instructions and memory bytes consumption. It uses a cost model based on `ContractCostType` enum variants. + +`BudgetImpl` contains: +- `cpu_insns: BudgetDimension` — CPU budget with per-cost-type linear models (`const_term + lin_term * input`). +- `mem_bytes: BudgetDimension` — memory budget. +- `tracker: BudgetTracker` — per-cost-type iteration/input/cpu/mem counters. +- `is_in_shadow_mode: bool` — when true, charges are tracked but don't fail on exceeding limits (used for debug/diagnostic work). +- `fuel_costs: wasmi::FuelCosts` — calibrated Wasm fuel costs for wasmi. +- `depth_limit: u32` — recursion depth limit. + +`Budget::charge(ty, input)` is the core metering call, invoked pervasively. It updates tracking, charges both CPU and memory dimensions, and checks limits. In shadow mode, limits aren't enforced. + +`AsBudget` trait allows both `Budget` and `Host` to be used as budget references. + +Fuel bridge: `get_wasmi_fuel_remaining()` converts remaining CPU budget to wasmi fuel units. Fuel is transferred to/from wasmi at host function call boundaries. + +### Metered Data Structures + +- `MeteredOrdMap` (`host/metered_map.rs`) — sorted `Vec<(K, V)>` with binary search. All operations (insert, get, delete) charge budget based on `DeclaredSizeForMetering`. Used for `HostMap`, `FootprintMap`, `StorageMap`. +- `MeteredVector` (`host/metered_vector.rs`) — `Vec` wrapper with metered insert/append/remove. Used for `HostVec`. +- `MeteredClone` trait (`host/metered_clone.rs`) — charges `MemCpy` budget for cloning, with `DeclaredSizeForMetering` providing stable size constants (not `size_of` which may vary). `charge_shallow_copy` and `charge_heap_alloc` are the underlying charging functions. +- `MeteredHash` (`host/metered_hash.rs`) — metered hashing. + +### VM — Wasm Execution + +`Vm` (`vm.rs`) wraps a `wasmi::Instance` for a single Wasm module: +- `contract_id: ContractId` +- `module: Arc` +- `wasmi_store: RefCell>` +- `wasmi_instance: wasmi::Instance` +- `wasmi_memory: Option` + +Rejects modules with floating point or start functions. + +`ParsedModule` (`vm/parsed_module.rs`) — pre-parsed, validated Wasm module. Stores `wasmi::Module`, `VersionedContractCodeCostInputs` (V0 = just byte length, V1 = detailed instruction/function/global counts), and imported symbol set. Charges parsing and instantiation costs separately. + +`ModuleCache` (`vm/module_cache.rs`) — caches `Arc` keyed by code hash, shared across invocations within a host. Can be installed externally or built from host storage. + +### Dispatch — Host Function Routing + +`dispatch.rs` uses the `call_macro_with_all_host_functions!` x-macro to generate one dispatch function per host function. Each dispatch function: +1. Transfers wasmi fuel to host CPU budget (`FuelRefillable`). +2. Charges `DispatchHostFunction` cost. +3. Converts wasmi `i64` args to `Val`/wrappers (with relative-to-absolute object translation via `RelativeObjectConversion`). +4. Calls the `VmCallerEnv` method on Host. +5. Converts result back (absolute-to-relative). +6. Transfers residual CPU budget back to wasmi fuel. + +`func_info.rs` — static `HOST_FUNCTIONS` array of `HostFuncInfo` structs (mod name, fn name, arity, wrap function, protocol bounds). Used by linker setup and introspection. + +Protocol gating: each host function can have optional `min_proto`/`max_proto` bounds checked at dispatch time. + +### Events + +`events/mod.rs` — `HostEvent` wraps `ContractEvent` XDR with `failed_call` flag. `InternalEventsBuffer` (`events/internal.rs`) stores events during execution. Events are rolled back on frame failure. `system_events.rs` emits system events for contract lifecycle operations. + +Event types: `Contract` (user-emitted), `System` (host-emitted lifecycle), `Diagnostic` (debug-only, guarded by `DiagnosticLevel::Debug` and shadow budget). + +### Authorization + +`AuthorizationManager` (`auth.rs`) handles both authorization (is action allowed?) and authentication (is credential authentic?). Operates in two modes: +- **Enforcing**: validates `SorobanAuthorizationEntry` trees against actual invocation patterns. +- **Recording**: captures auth requirements during preflight. + +Address types for auth: +1. **Invoker contract** — implicit auth from call chain. +2. **Stellar account with credentials** — classic multisig to medium threshold. +3. **Transaction source account** — pre-authenticated by transaction signatures. +4. **Custom account contract** — delegates to `__check_auth` export. + +`require_auth(Address)` is the main entrypoint. Matches `AuthorizedInvocation` trees against execution context. Each pattern node matches at most once per transaction. + +### Contract Lifecycle + +`host/lifecycle.rs` — `create_contract_internal` orchestrates: +1. Compute contract ID from preimage. +2. Verify Wasm code exists. +3. Store `ScContractInstance` entry. +4. Initialize SAC if asset-derived. +5. Call `__constructor` (protocol ≥22; missing constructor OK if 0 args). + +### Conversion + +`host/conversion.rs` — methods on `Host` for converting between `ScVal`/XDR types and `Val`/host objects. Includes `to_valid_host_val`, `from_host_val`, address/hash extraction helpers, and `ScMap`↔`HostMap` conversions. All operations are metered. + +### Error Handling + +`HostError` (`host/error.rs`) wraps an `Error` (the 64-bit `Val`-encoded error) plus optional `DebugInfo` (event log + backtrace). `ErrorHandler` trait provides `map_err` for wasmi error conversion. Errors are augmented with context via `augment_err_result`. + +Recoverable vs non-recoverable: `ScErrorType::Contract` errors are recoverable (can be caught by `try_call`). All others (Budget, Internal, etc.) are non-recoverable and propagate up. + +### e2e_invoke — Embedder Integration + +`e2e_invoke.rs` provides the top-level entry point for executing Soroban host functions from embedders (stellar-core, RPC). Key types: +- `InvokeHostFunctionResult` — result, ledger changes, encoded events. +- `LedgerEntryChange` — per-entry diff with TTL change info. +- `get_ledger_changes()` — computes diff between post-execution storage and initial snapshot. + +### Fees + +`fees.rs` — fee computation protocol for Soroban, shared between stellar-core and RPC. Defines `TransactionResources`, `FeeConfiguration`, `RentWriteFeeConfiguration`, `LedgerEntryRentChange`. Computes resource fees (CPU, read/write entries/bytes, events, transaction size) and rent fees (based on state size target and TTL extension). + +### Crypto + +`crypto/mod.rs` — Ed25519 (sign/verify), ECDSA secp256k1/secp256r1, SHA-256, Keccak-256, BLS12-381 (`crypto/bls12_381.rs`), BN254 (`crypto/bn254.rs`), Poseidon/Poseidon2 hashes (`crypto/poseidon/`). All operations charge appropriate `ContractCostType` budget entries. + +### Built-in Contracts + +`builtin_contracts.rs` — `BuiltinContract` trait with `fn call(&self, func, host, args) -> Result`. + +Key built-ins: +- **Stellar Asset Contract (SAC)** (`stellar_asset_contract/`) — wraps classic Stellar assets as Soroban contracts. Modules: `contract.rs` (main dispatch), `balance.rs`, `allowance.rs`, `admin.rs`, `event.rs`, `metadata.rs`, `storage_types.rs`, `asset_info.rs`, `public_types.rs`. +- **Account Contract** (`account_contract.rs`) — implements `__check_auth` for classic Stellar accounts. +- `invoker_contract_auth.rs` — handles invoker-contract auth entries. +- `storage_utils.rs`, `base_types.rs`, `common_types.rs` — shared utilities. + +### LedgerInfo + +`LedgerInfo` (`ledger_info.rs`) — protocol version, sequence number, timestamp, network ID, base reserve, TTL bounds. Methods: `min_live_until_ledger_checked`, `max_live_until_ledger_checked`. + +### PRNG + +`host/prng.rs` — `Prng` wraps `ChaCha20Rng` with metered byte-drawing. Base PRNG seeds per-frame sub-PRNGs deterministically. Separate unmetered PRNGs exist for recording-auth nonces and test data. + +### Tracing + +`host/trace.rs` — `TraceHook`, `TraceEvent`, `TraceRecord`, `TraceState` for lifecycle observation. Events include `PushCtx`, `PopCtx`, `EnvCall`, `EnvRet`. Used for debugging and testing only; disabled during debug-mode operations to avoid observation leaks. + +--- + +## Key Control Flows + +### Contract Invocation +1. Embedder calls `e2e_invoke` with `HostFunction`, footprint, auth entries. +2. Host is constructed with `Storage` and `Budget` from network config. +3. `ModuleCache` is populated or provided externally. +4. `Host::with_frame(Frame::HostFunction, ..)` pushes top-level frame. +5. For `InvokeContract`: resolves contract instance, loads Wasm, instantiates `Vm`. +6. `Host::with_frame(Frame::ContractVM, ..)` pushes contract frame with rollback point. +7. VM calls exported function. Wasm instructions consume wasmi fuel. +8. Host functions called from Wasm go through dispatch: fuel→budget, args relative→absolute, call `VmCallerEnv` method, result absolute→relative, budget→fuel. +9. On return, frame pops. On error, storage/events roll back to rollback point. +10. `Host::try_finish()` extracts final `(Storage, Events)`. + +### Object Lifecycle +1. Host code calls `add_host_object(value)` → pushes to `objects` vec, returns absolute handle. +2. When returning to Wasm, `absolute_to_relative` adds to per-frame relative table, returns relative handle. +3. When Wasm calls host, `relative_to_absolute` looks up in relative table, returns absolute handle. +4. `visit_obj(handle, closure)` indexes into objects vec, calls closure with typed reference. +5. Objects are immutable once created. No garbage collection; lifetime is the host's lifetime. + +### Budget Flow +1. Budget initialized from network config cost params + CPU/mem limits. +2. Every host operation calls `Budget::charge(CostType, input)`. +3. `charge` computes `cost = const_term + lin_term * input`, adds to dimension total, checks limit. +4. Wasm execution uses wasmi fuel; fuel is derived from remaining CPU budget and transferred at host function boundaries. +5. Shadow mode (debug/diagnostic work) tracks but doesn't enforce limits. diff --git a/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-test/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-test/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..164390c915 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/subsystem-summary-of-test/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,287 @@ +--- +name: subsystem-summary-of-test +description: "read this skill for a token-efficient summary of the test subsystem" +--- + +# Test Subsystem — Test Utilities and Infrastructure + +The `src/test/` directory contains test infrastructure, helpers, and utilities used across the entire stellar-core test suite.

It implements a finite state machine (FSM) model where long-running or multi-step tasks are broken into small "cranks" that execute on the main thread without blocking. The framework supports hierarchical task trees, retry logic with exponential backoff, sequential and parallel execution, conditional gating, and orderly abort/shutdown. + +All work executes on the main thread via the application's IO service. The subsystem is **not** thread-safe; the only exception is spawning independent background I/O (file reads, downloads) that post results back to the main thread. + +## Key Files + +- **BasicWork.h / BasicWork.cpp** — Base FSM class; state machine, retry logic, crank mechanism. +- **Work.h / Work.cpp** — Extends BasicWork with child-management (hierarchical work trees). +- **WorkScheduler.h / WorkScheduler.cpp** — Top-level scheduler; posts cranks to the IO service. +- **WorkSequence.h / WorkSequence.cpp** — Sequential execution of an ordered vector of BasicWork items. +- **BatchWork.h / BatchWork.cpp** — Parallel batched execution with throttling. +- **ConditionalWork.h / ConditionalWork.cpp** — Gates a work item on an arbitrary monotonic condition. +- **WorkWithCallback.h / WorkWithCallback.cpp** — Wraps a simple callback as a one-shot BasicWork. + +--- + +## Class Hierarchy + +``` +BasicWork (base FSM, abstract) +├── Work (adds child management, abstract) +│ ├── WorkScheduler (top-level scheduler, singleton-like) +│ └── BatchWork (parallel batched execution, abstract) +├── WorkSequence (sequential execution of a vector) +├── ConditionalWork (condition-gated delegation) +└── WorkWithCallback (one-shot callback wrapper) +``` + +All classes inherit `std::enable_shared_from_this` and `NonMovableOrCopyable`. Ownership is via `std::shared_ptr`. + +--- + +## Key Classes and Data Structures + +### `BasicWork` + +The foundational finite state machine. Every work unit in stellar-core derives from this. + +**Public State enum (`BasicWork::State`):** +- `WORK_RUNNING` — Work needs more cranks to make progress. +- `WORK_WAITING` — Work is idle, waiting for an external event (timer, process exit, child completion). +- `WORK_SUCCESS` — Terminal: work completed successfully. +- `WORK_FAILURE` — Terminal: work failed (may trigger retry internally). +- `WORK_ABORTED` — Terminal: work was actively aborted. + +**Internal State enum (`BasicWork::InternalState`, private):** +Extends the public state with three additional values used to drive internal transitions: +- `PENDING` — Created but not yet started. +- `RETRYING` — `onRun` returned FAILURE but retries remain; scheduling a retry timer. +- `ABORTING` — Shutdown requested, actively aborting. + +**Key Members:** +- `mApp` (`Application&`) — Back-reference to the application. +- `mName` (`std::string const`) — Unique human-readable name. +- `mState` (`std::atomic`) — Current FSM state. Atomic only for safe const-reads from background threads; all mutations happen on main thread. +- `mRetries` / `mMaxRetries` (`size_t`) — Current retry count and maximum allowed. +- `mRetryTimer` (`std::unique_ptr`) — Timer for exponential-backoff retries. +- `mWaitingTimer` (`std::unique_ptr`) — Timer for waking up from WAITING state. +- `mNotifyCallback` (`std::function`) — Callback to notify parent/scheduler of state changes. +- `ALLOWED_TRANSITIONS` (`std::set`, static) — Whitelist of legal `(from, to)` state pairs. + +**Retry Constants:** +- `RETRY_NEVER = 0`, `RETRY_ONCE = 1`, `RETRY_A_FEW = 5`, `RETRY_A_LOT = 32`. + +**Key Methods:** + +| Method | Description | +|--------|-------------| +| `crankWork()` | Main entry point for advancing the FSM. If ABORTING, calls `onAbort()`; otherwise calls `onRun()` and transitions to the returned state. | +| `startWork(notificationCallback)` | Initializes work from PENDING state, sets notification callback, transitions to RUNNING, resets retry counter. | +| `shutdown()` | Transitions to ABORTING state (if not already done). Cancels waiting timer. | +| `isDone()` | Returns true if in SUCCESS, FAILURE, or ABORTED state. | +| `getState()` | Maps InternalState to the public State enum. PENDING/ABORTING map to WORK_RUNNING; RETRYING maps to WORK_WAITING. | +| `setState(s)` | Validates transition legality, triggers lifecycle callbacks (`onSuccess`, `onFailureRaise`, `onFailureRetry`), updates state. Automatically converts FAILURE→RETRYING if retries remain. | +| `wakeUp(innerCallback)` | Transitions from WAITING→RUNNING, executes optional inner callback, then fires `mNotifyCallback` to propagate upward. | +| `wakeSelfUpCallback(innerCallback)` | Returns a `std::function` closure (capturing weak_ptr to self) that calls `wakeUp`. Used to wire child→parent notification. | +| `setupWaitingCallback(duration)` | Creates a timer that will call `wakeUp` after the given duration. Idempotent—no-ops if timer already set. Used before returning WORK_WAITING. | +| `waitForRetry()` | Creates `mRetryTimer` with exponential backoff delay, transitions to WAITING. On timer expiry, increments retry count and calls `wakeUp`. | +| `reset()` | Cancels retry timer, calls `onReset()`. Called on `PENDING→RUNNING`, `RETRYING`, `FAILURE`, and `ABORTED` transitions. | + +**Pure Virtual (Implementer must override):** +- `onRun()` → Returns desired next `State`. Contains the actual work logic. +- `onAbort()` → Returns `true` when abort is complete, `false` if still aborting. + +**Virtual Lifecycle Callbacks (optional overrides):** +- `onReset()` — Restore work to initial state, clean up side effects. +- `onSuccess()` — Called on transition to SUCCESS. +- `onFailureRetry()` — Called when transitioning to RETRYING. +- `onFailureRaise()` — Called when transitioning to terminal FAILURE. + +--- + +### `Work` (extends `BasicWork`) + +Adds the ability to manage a set of child work items, forming a tree. This enables supervisor-style patterns where a parent dispatches sub-tasks and aggregates results. + +**Key Members:** +- `mChildren` (`std::list>`) — Currently active children. +- `mNextChild` (list iterator) — Round-robin pointer for fair scheduling. +- `mDoneChildren` / `mTotalChildren` (`size_t`) — Counters for status reporting. +- `mAbortChildrenButNotSelf` (`bool`) — Flag set when a child fails and remaining children must be aborted before the parent can report failure. + +**Key Methods:** + +| Method | Description | +|--------|-------------| +| `addWork(args...)` | Template: creates a `shared_ptr` child, wires its notification callback to `wakeSelfUpCallback`, starts it. | +| `addWorkWithCallback(cb, args...)` | Like `addWork` but with an additional callback run on child notification. | +| `addWork(cb, child)` | Non-template: adds a pre-constructed child, starts it, fires initial notification. | +| `onRun()` (final) | Round-robin cranks the next RUNNING child via `yieldNextRunningChild()`. When no runnable children remain, calls `doWork()`. | +| `onAbort()` (final) | Cranks aborting children in round-robin until all are done. | +| `onReset()` (final) | Clears children, resets `mAbortChildrenButNotSelf`, calls `doReset()`. | +| `yieldNextRunningChild()` | Iterates from `mNextChild`; returns first RUNNING child. Removes done children from the list as it goes. Wraps around at end. Returns nullptr if none. | +| `checkChildrenStatus()` | Aggregates children states: all-success→SUCCESS, any-failed→FAILURE, none-running→WAITING, else RUNNING. | +| `shutdown()` | Shuts down all non-done children, then calls `BasicWork::shutdown()`. | +| `clearChildren()` | Asserts all children done, clears list, resets iterator. | + +**Pure Virtual:** +- `doWork()` — Implementers define local work at this tree node (spawn more children, inspect existing ones, or do local computation). + +**Virtual:** +- `doReset()` — Additional cleanup for subclasses on reset. + +**Important Behavioral Detail:** When `doWork()` returns `WORK_FAILURE` but not all children are done, the parent sets `mAbortChildrenButNotSelf = true`, shuts down children, and keeps returning `WORK_RUNNING` until all children are aborted. Only then does it report FAILURE. This ensures clean shutdown of the subtree before failure propagation. + +**`WorkUtils` namespace:** Free functions operating on `std::list>`: +- `allSuccessful()`, `anyFailed()`, `anyRunning()`, `getWorkStatus()`. + +--- + +### `WorkScheduler` (extends `Work`) + +The top-level work scheduler. One instance per application, created via `WorkScheduler::create(app)`. It bridges the work subsystem to the application's IO service by posting cranks. + +**Key Members:** +- `mScheduled` (`bool`) — Guard to prevent double-scheduling on the IO service. +- `mTriggerTimer` (`VirtualTimer`) — Periodic trigger (unused in current scheduling approach; cranks are event-driven). +- `TRIGGER_PERIOD` (`50ms`, static) — Minimum crank interval. + +**Key Methods:** + +| Method | Description | +|--------|-------------| +| `create(app)` | Factory: constructs a `WorkScheduler`, calls `startWork(nullptr)` and an initial `crankWork()`. Returns `shared_ptr`. | +| `scheduleWork(args...)` | Template: creates and schedules a child work. Wires a callback that calls `scheduleOne()` to ensure continued cranking. Returns the child (or nullptr if aborting/done). | +| `executeWork(args...)` | Synchronous wrapper: calls `scheduleWork`, then busy-loops `clock.crank(true)` until the work is done. Used for blocking tasks (e.g., command-line operations). | +| `scheduleOne(weak)` | Static: posts a main-thread callback that loops calling `crankWork()` as long as state is RUNNING and the clock hasn't yielded. Reschedules itself if still RUNNING. Prevents double-scheduling via `mScheduled` flag. | +| `doWork()` | Returns RUNNING if any child is running, WAITING otherwise. | +| `shutdown()` | Calls `Work::shutdown()`, then schedules one more crank to drain aborting children. | + +**Scheduling Model:** The scheduler uses cooperative, event-driven scheduling. When a child is added via `scheduleWork`, a callback is wired that calls `scheduleOne()`. This posts a closure to the application's main thread IO service. Inside that closure, `crankWork()` is called in a loop until either the scheduler is no longer RUNNING or the clock indicates it should yield (`shouldYield()`). If still RUNNING after the loop, `scheduleOne` is called again to reschedule. This ensures fair interleaving with other main-thread work (ledger closing, overlay, etc.). + +--- + +### `WorkSequence` (extends `BasicWork`) + +Executes a vector of `BasicWork` items in strict sequential order. Each item is started as the previous one completes. + +**Key Members:** +- `mSequenceOfWork` (`std::vector>`) — Ordered list of work items. +- `mNextInSequence` (vector iterator) — Points to the next work to start. +- `mCurrentExecuting` (`std::shared_ptr`) — The currently active work item. +- `mStopAtFirstFailure` (`bool const`) — If true (default), stops the sequence on first failure. If false, continues and aggregates final status. + +**Key Methods:** + +| Method | Description | +|--------|-------------| +| `onRun()` | If at end of sequence, returns aggregated status. Otherwise, starts the next item if needed, cranks it, and advances on success (or failure if `!mStopAtFirstFailure`). | +| `onAbort()` | Cranks the currently executing item until it finishes aborting. | +| `onReset()` | Resets iterator to beginning, clears `mCurrentExecuting`. | +| `shutdown()` | Shuts down `mCurrentExecuting` if any, then calls `BasicWork::shutdown()`. | + +**Note:** WorkSequence does NOT inherit from Work; it inherits directly from BasicWork. It manages its children vector directly rather than using Work's child-management infrastructure. + +--- + +### `BatchWork` (extends `Work`) + +Runs work items in parallel batches, throttled by `MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES` from the application config. Subclasses supply iteration methods to generate work. + +**Key Members:** +- `mBatch` (`std::map>`) — Tracks currently active batch items by name. + +**Key Methods:** + +| Method | Description | +|--------|-------------| +| `doWork()` | Checks for child failures (→FAILURE). Cleans up successful children from `mBatch`. Calls `addMoreWorkIfNeeded()`. Returns aggregated status. | +| `addMoreWorkIfNeeded()` | While `mBatch.size() < MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES` and `hasNext()`, calls `yieldMoreWork()` and adds it via `Work::addWork`. | +| `doReset()` | Clears `mBatch`, calls `resetIter()`. | + +**Pure Virtual (subclass must implement):** +- `hasNext()` — Returns true if more work items are available. +- `yieldMoreWork()` — Returns the next `shared_ptr` to execute. +- `resetIter()` — Resets the subclass's iteration state. + +**Throttling:** The batch size is bounded by `mApp.getConfig().MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES`. BatchWork itself never retries (`RETRY_NEVER`). + +--- + +### `ConditionalWork` (extends `BasicWork`) + +Gates the execution of a wrapped `BasicWork` item on a monotonic condition function. Polls the condition periodically until it returns true, then delegates to the conditioned work. + +**Key Members:** +- `mCondition` (`ConditionFn` = `std::function`) — The gating condition. Must be monotonic (once true, always true). Set to nullptr after condition is met. +- `mConditionedWork` (`std::shared_ptr`) — The wrapped work item. +- `mSleepDelay` (`std::chrono::milliseconds`, default 100ms) — Polling interval while condition is false. +- `mWorkStarted` (`bool`) — Whether the conditioned work has been started. + +**Key Methods:** + +| Method | Description | +|--------|-------------| +| `onRun()` | If work started, cranks it and returns its state. Otherwise, checks condition: if false, sets up a waiting timer and returns WAITING; if true, starts the conditioned work and recurses. | +| `onAbort()` | If work started and not done, cranks it; returns false. Otherwise returns true. | +| `onReset()` | Resets `mWorkStarted` to false. | +| `shutdown()` | Shuts down conditioned work if started, then calls `BasicWork::shutdown()`. | + +**`ConditionFn` contract:** Must be monotonic — once it returns true, it must always return true thereafter. The function is deleted (set to nullptr) after the condition is first satisfied. + +**Usage Pattern:** ConditionalWork enables adding sequential dependency edges within otherwise-parallel execution. For example, in `DownloadApplyTxsWork` (a BatchWork), each yielded WorkSequence contains a download step followed by a ConditionalWork wrapping an apply step, where the condition checks that the previous sequence's apply step has completed. + +--- + +### `WorkWithCallback` (extends `BasicWork`) + +A simple one-shot work that wraps a `std::function`. Returns SUCCESS if the callback returns true, FAILURE otherwise. Catches `std::runtime_error` exceptions from the callback and maps them to FAILURE. + +**Key Members:** +- `mCallback` (`std::function const`) — The callback to execute. + +**Key Methods:** +- `onRun()` — Calls `mCallback(mApp)`. Returns SUCCESS on true, FAILURE on false or exception. +- `onAbort()` — Returns true immediately (nothing to abort). + +Never retries (`RETRY_NEVER`). + +--- + +## State Machine and Lifecycle + +### State Transition Diagram + +The FSM has 8 internal states with 16 legal transitions (defined in `ALLOWED_TRANSITIONS`): + +``` +PENDING ──[startWork]──► RUNNING ──[onRun→SUCCESS]──► SUCCESS + ▲ │ ▲ │ + │ │ │ │ + │ │ └──[onRun→RUNNING]─────────┘(via startWork) + │ │ └──[wakeUp]◄── WAITING ◄──[onRun→WAITING] + │ │ │ + │ │ └──[shutdown]──► ABORTING + │ │ │ ▲ + │ └──[shutdown]───────────────────────────┘ │ + │ │ │ │ + │ └──[onRun→FAILURE, retries left]──► RETRYING──►WAITING + │ │ + │ └──[onRun→FAILURE, no retries]──► FAILURE + │ │ + └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘(via startWork) + └◄──────────────────── ABORTED ◄──[onAbort→true]── ABORTING +``` + +### Lifecycle Flow + +1. **Creation:** Work is constructed in PENDING state. +2. **Starting:** `startWork(callback)` transitions PENDING→RUNNING, resets retries, calls `onReset()`. +3. **Cranking:** The scheduler repeatedly calls `crankWork()`, which calls `onRun()`. The return value drives the next state transition. +4. **Waiting:** If `onRun()` returns WAITING, the work is not cranked until `wakeUp()` is called (by a timer, child notification, or external event). +5. **Retrying:** If `onRun()` returns FAILURE and retries remain, `setState` converts it to RETRYING, calls `onFailureRetry()`, `reset()`, and `waitForRetry()` which sets a timer with exponential backoff. On timer expiry, `wakeUp()` transitions back to RUNNING. +6. **Shutdown:** `shutdown()` transitions to ABORTING. Subsequent cranks call `onAbort()` until it returns true, then transition to ABORTED. +7. **Terminal states:** SUCCESS, FAILURE, ABORTED. A terminal work can be restarted via `startWork()`, which transitions back to PENDING then RUNNING. + +### Retry Mechanism + +Exponential backoff via `getRetryDelay()` which calls `exponentialBackoff(mRetries)`. The retry timer fires asynchronously; on expiry it increments `mRetries` and calls `wakeUp()`. Maximum retries configured per-work via `mMaxRetries`. + +--- + +## Scheduling and Control Flow + +### Main Scheduling Loop (`WorkScheduler`) + +1. `scheduleWork()` creates a child and wires a notification callback containing `scheduleOne()`. +2. `scheduleOne()` posts a closure to the main thread via `Application::postOnMainThread()`. +3. Inside the closure: loop calling `crankWork()` while state is RUNNING and `!clock.shouldYield()`. +4. If still RUNNING after the loop, call `scheduleOne()` again to reschedule. +5. `crankWork()` on WorkScheduler calls `Work::onRun()`, which round-robins through children. + +### Round-Robin Child Scheduling (`Work::onRun`) + +1. `yieldNextRunningChild()` scans from `mNextChild` iterator, skipping done children (removing them from the list). +2. If a RUNNING child is found, its `crankWork()` is called, and the parent returns RUNNING. +3. If no RUNNING child is found (all are WAITING or done), `doWork()` is called on the parent. +4. The iterator wraps around, ensuring fair round-robin scheduling across children. + +### Notification Propagation + +When a child's state changes (e.g., finishes, wakes up), it calls `mNotifyCallback`, which is typically `wakeSelfUpCallback()` of the parent. This propagates upward: child wakes parent, parent wakes grandparent, etc., until reaching the WorkScheduler, which calls `scheduleOne()` to post another crank on the IO service. + +--- + +## Ownership Relationships + +- **WorkScheduler** is owned by `Application` (via `shared_ptr`). +- **Work** owns its `mChildren` (list of `shared_ptr`). +- **WorkSequence** owns its `mSequenceOfWork` (vector of `shared_ptr`). +- **ConditionalWork** owns its `mConditionedWork` (`shared_ptr`). +- **BatchWork** tracks active items in `mBatch` (map of `shared_ptr`); actual ownership is via Work's `mChildren`. +- All notification callbacks capture `weak_ptr` to avoid preventing destruction. +- `BasicWork` inherits `enable_shared_from_this` and must always be held in a `shared_ptr`. + +--- + +## Key Data Flows + +### Work Creation and Execution + +``` +Application + └── WorkScheduler (scheduleWork) + └── Work::addWork → child added to mChildren, startWork called + └── child.startWork(wakeSelfUpCallback) → PENDING→RUNNING + └── scheduleOne → post crankWork to IO service + └── WorkScheduler.crankWork → Work.onRun + └── yieldNextRunningChild → child.crankWork + └── child.onRun → state transition +``` + +### Abort/Shutdown Flow + +``` +Application::gracefulStop + └── WorkScheduler::shutdown + └── Work::shutdown → shutdownChildren → each child.shutdown() + └── child: RUNNING/WAITING → ABORTING + └── crankWork → onAbort → true → ABORTED + └── parent detects allChildrenDone → ABORTED +``` + +### BatchWork Data Flow + +``` +BatchWork.doWork + ├── anyChildRaiseFailure? → FAILURE + ├── clean up successful children from mBatch + ├── addMoreWorkIfNeeded + │ └── while batch < MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBPROCESSES && hasNext + │ └── yieldMoreWork → addWork(child) + └── return aggregated status +``` + +### ConditionalWork Gating Pattern + +``` +ConditionalWork.onRun + ├── mWorkStarted? → crank conditioned work, return its state + └── !mWorkStarted + ├── condition(app) == false → setupWaitingCallback(sleepDelay), return WAITING + └── condition(app) == true → startWork on conditioned work, set mWorkStarted, recurse +``` diff --git a/.claude/skills/summarizing-the-codebase/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/summarizing-the-codebase/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..959f0c4405 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/summarizing-the-codebase/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,133 @@ +--- +name: "regenerating a technical summary of stellar-core" +description: "Instructions for regenerating the full set of subsystem and whole-system technical summary skill documents for stellar-core" +--- + +# Regenerating Technical Summaries of stellar-core + +## Overview + +This skill describes the process of generating (or regenerating) the full set of technical summary skill documents for stellar-core.

+# Autonomous AI Performance Optimization Experiment -Stellar-core is a replicated state machine that maintains a local copy of a cryptographic ledger and processes transactions against it, in consensus with a set of peers. -It implements the [Stellar Consensus Protocol](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-core/blob/master/src/scp/readme.md), a _federated_ consensus protocol. -It is written in C++17 and runs on Linux, OSX and Windows. -Learn more by reading the [overview document](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-core/blob/master/docs/readme.md). +This is a fork of [stellar-core](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-core) used as a testbed for **autonomous AI-driven incremental performance optimization**. -# Documentation +## Overview -Documentation of the code's layout and abstractions, as well as for the -functionality available, can be found in -[`./docs`](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-core/tree/master/docs). +The objective was to see whether an autonomous AI agent, running in a loop with no human guidance, could make meaningful, incremental performance improvements to stellar-core. -# Installation +The specific target was the **SAC (Stellar Asset Contract) transfer TPS** benchmark (`apply-load --mode max-sac-tps`), which measures maximum sustainable throughput of the ledger apply path. The starting baseline was ~8,000 TPS, and so far the agent has gotten up to ~19,300 TPS. -See [Installation](./INSTALL.md) +Each iteration of the loop, the agent would: profile the code with Tracy, analyze hotspots, hypothesize an optimization, implement it, run tests, benchmark, and document the result — then repeat. -# Contributing +Commit 3506b1a715a0e8ba323cc69db3c68cd93cc0e17a was the first AI generated experiment. Commits before that were skills setup and stability improvements to the test itself. Commits c221a59fa27992928d5a9d3af4cc1c41627a70ae +through 25214fbcddef716609a3dc70644cd16e4f33fcfe were not made by the autonomous loop, but did involve some human interaction. This fixed an issue with commiting submodule changes and fixes to meta related unit tests. -See [Contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md) +## Results -# Running tests +Over the course of the experiment, the agent ran **52+ experiment cycles**, producing: -See [running tests](./CONTRIBUTING.md#running-tests) +- **~45 successful optimizations** committed to the branch (see [`docs/success/`](docs/success/)) +- **~50 failed experiments** documented locally (see [`docs/fail/`](docs/fail/)) + +Successful optimizations ranged from low-level changes (removing unnecessary Tracy zones from hot functions, adding move semantics to avoid XDR copies) to algorithmic improvements (sharded signature verification caches, parallel index construction, eliminating redundant child LedgerTxn allocations, skipping unnecessary validation during apply). + +## How to Interpret These Results + +Each successful commit should be viewed as a **very detailed issue** — a concrete, tested proposal that a human should cherry-pick, review, and decide whether it is valid and appropriate for production. + +All unit tests pass on this branch, and a watcher node running on mainnet did not fork with these changes applied — up until metering/cost-model changes were introduced, which was an allowed protocol change exception given in the agent's prompt. Some "successful" experiments do appear to be flawed upon closer human review. However, real improvements were definitely realized by the agent that can be applied in production. The value is in the agent doing the legwork of profiling, hypothesizing, implementing, and testing — the human still needs to make the final call. + +## Setup + +### Skills + +The agent was configured with a set of **custom skills** (reusable prompt documents in `.claude/skills/`) that taught it how to: + +- Run the `max-sac-tps` benchmark with Tracy profiling +- Analyze Tracy trace files using CLI tools +- Build stellar-core correctly +- Run the test suite +- Execute the full optimization loop (profile, implement, test, benchmark, document) + +These skills gave the agent the domain knowledge it needed to operate autonomously on an unfamiliar codebase without human hand-holding. + +### The Ralph Loop + +The [ralph](https://github.com/Th0rgal/open-ralph-wiggum) (open-ralph-wiggum) loop runner was experimented with for both agent systems. Ralph repeatedly invokes an AI coding agent with a fixed prompt, giving each iteration a fresh context window. The agent relies on file-system artifacts (experiment docs, git history, Tracy profiles) for continuity between iterations. + +The prompt sent each iteration is in [`ralph-prompt.md`](ralph-prompt.md). It instructs the agent to: + +1. Read all previous experiment docs to understand what's been tried +2. Run parallel discovery agents (Tracy analysis, code exploration, prior experiment review) +3. Run parallel solution exploration agents to evaluate competing optimization ideas +4. Pick the best candidate, implement it, test, benchmark, and document + +The ralph loop was necessary for opencode to continue making good progress — without periodic context resets, quality degraded over long sessions. However, Claude Code was able to continue making good progress despite context compaction by simply running the `optimizing-max-sac-tps` skill standalone in a single long-lived session, without the ralph loop. This suggests Claude Code's context compaction handles this workload well enough that explicit iteration boundaries are not required. + +### How to Run + +See [`how-to-run.md`](how-to-run.md) for overly simplified AI generated instructions on starting, monitoring, and stopping the ralph optimization loop. + +### Agent Configuration + +Two agent systems were used interchangeably: + +1. **[opencode](https://github.com/nicholasgriffintn/opencode)** with the [oh-my-opencode-slim](https://github.com/alvinunreal/oh-my-opencode-slim) plugin, which provides a multi-model "dynamic" preset. Rather than using a single model, oh-my-opencode-slim assigns specialized roles to different models and routes work to the best model for each task: + + | Role | Model | Purpose | + |------|-------|---------| + | **Orchestrator** | Claude Opus 4.6 | Main agent driving each iteration — reads skills, makes decisions, coordinates subagents | + | **Explorer** | Claude Haiku 4.5 | Fast, cheap codebase search and pattern matching (finding files, grepping code) | + | **Fixer** | GPT-5.3 Codex Spark | Parallel implementation of well-defined, scoped code changes | + | **Oracle** | GPT-5.3 Codex | Deep architectural reasoning, complex debugging, and optimization strategy | + | **Librarian** | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | External documentation lookup and library research (with web search, Context7, and grep.app MCPs) | + | **Artist** | Gemini 3 Pro Preview | Creative review — a more hallucinogenic version of the Oracle, injecting unconventional optimization ideas | + +2. **[Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)** (Anthropic's CLI) with **experimental agent teams** enabled, running Claude Opus 4.6. + +There did not seem to be a strong difference in performance between the two systems, so long as Claude Code had experimental agent teams enabled. Without agent teams, opencode performed better — which points towards the ability to spawn multiple parallel subagents being very helpful for this kind of task. + +All permissions were set to `allow` in both systems so the agent could operate fully autonomously without human approval prompts. + +## Recommendation + +Initially, this experiment was run with Claude Code using Opus 4.5, before agent teams were available. In that setup, opencode with a ralph loop and multi-agent orchestration was the clear winner — single-agent Claude Code couldn't keep up. + +After redoing the experiment with Claude Code using Opus 4.6 with experimental agent teams enabled, both systems seem to perform equally well. I'll continue experimenting to see if opencode's mixed-model routing can give better results, but for folks starting out, I'd recommend **Claude Code with agent teams** due to its simplicity — no plugins, no preset configuration, just enable the feature flag and go. + +Once the prompt and skills were sufficiently setup, running the optimization loop with claude code is straightforward. After starting a session via `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions ` and +enabling "no permissions" mode, the entire prompt I inputted was just "/optimizing-max-sac-tps". Claude was able to run autonomously and make progress for days, simply running this skill. I would +strongly recommend building a robust skill set and a "memoized," long running skill like "optimizing-max-sac-tps." At this time I would recommend against investing time in exotic harnesses, plugins, or agentic orchestration. -[![Ask DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/badge.svg)](https://deepwiki.com/stellar/stellar-core) diff --git a/docs/apply-load-benchmark-sac.cfg b/docs/apply-load-benchmark-sac.cfg new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7473130a40 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/apply-load-benchmark-sac.cfg @@ -0,0 +1,62 @@ +# This is the Stellar Core configuration example for using the load generation +# (apply-load) tool for benchmarking the ledger close time with SAC transfer +# model transaction. +# The core with this configuration should run using `./stellar-core apply-load` + +# Select the apply-load mode and benchmark model transaction. +APPLY_LOAD_MODE="benchmark" +APPLY_LOAD_MODEL_TX="sac" + +# Whether to time the write part of the apply stage.

This suggests the + inlined `charge_fast()` code displaced other hot functions in the instruction + cache, offsetting any potential micro-gains. + +## Key Learning +- Modern LLVM (clang-20 / Rust 1.88) is excellent at eliminating redundant + bounds checks for enum-indexed arrays.

Tracy data confirms zero + per-call improvement (18ns median in both baseline and experiment). +- `Result<>` error propagation in Rust has near-zero overhead when the error + path is never taken, due to branch prediction. +- **Inlining changes can have non-local effects**: Adding `#[inline(always)]` + to a 57.5M-call function and expanding its body can perturb icache layout + enough to regress unrelated hot paths by 15-20%. Always check the full + DiffTracyCSV output, not just the targeted zone. +- To meaningfully reduce `charge()` overhead, one would need to either: + (a) Reduce the NUMBER of calls (batch multiple charges together) + (b) Remove the Tracy spans in the charge path + (c) Reduce tracker bookkeeping (fewer fields to update per call) +- Given experiments 006-008 all showing <2% impact from micro-optimizations, + the remaining gains in the Rust execution path likely require structural + changes (batched metering, reduced FFI overhead, or storage map redesign). + +## Conclusion +Reverted.

Previous +experiments are documented in `docs/success/` and `docs/fail/` — READ THESE +FIRST to understand what has been tried and what the current TPS baseline is. + +## Your Task (One Experiment) + +Load the `optimizing-max-sac-tps` skill, then load the prerequisite skills it +lists (`running-max-sac-tps`, `analyzing-tracy-profiles`, `running-make-to-build`, +`running-tests`). + +Then do exactly ONE experiment cycle: + +1. **Read all files in `docs/success/` and `docs/fail/`** — understand what + was tried, what worked, what failed, and what the current baseline TPS is. + DO NOT repeat failed experiments unless you have a fundamentally new approach. + +2. **If no baseline exists yet**, run the benchmark with Tracy capture to + establish one. Document the baseline TPS and Tracy analysis. + +3. **Investigate using multiple agents in parallel.** Spin up agents to + work simultaneously on two phases: + + **Phase A — Discovery (all agents run in parallel):** + - **Agent 1 — Tracy profile analysis**: Analyze the most recent Tracy + profile. Identify the top 5 self-time zones under `applyLedger`, wall-clock + breakdown, and lock contention hotspots. + - **Agent 2 — Code path exploration**: Explore the hot code paths identified + in previous experiments. Search for redundant allocations, unnecessary + copies, cache-unfriendly patterns, and missed parallelism opportunities. + - **Agent 3 — Prior experiment review**: Read all docs in `docs/success/` + and `docs/fail/`. Synthesize patterns: what categories of optimization + tend to succeed vs fail? What remains untried? Identify the most promising + unexplored direction. + - **Agent 4 — Data structure & algorithm audit**: Examine the data + structures and algorithms on the hot path (bucket operations, XDR + serialization, hashing, map lookups). Look for algorithmic improvements + or more cache-efficient alternatives. + + Wait for all discovery agents to return and collect their findings. + + **Phase B — Solution exploration (agents run in parallel):** + Based on the discovery results, identify the top 3–4 most promising + optimization ideas. Spin up one agent per idea to explore feasibility: + + - Each agent investigates ONE specific optimization candidate. + - Each agent should: read the relevant code, sketch the change (do NOT + apply it), estimate the expected impact, identify risks or blockers, + and rate confidence (high/medium/low). + - Agents should work independently — they are competing proposals. + + Wait for all solution agents to return. + +4. **Pick ONE optimization** from the competing proposals. Prefer the one + with the highest confidence, largest expected impact, and lowest risk. + If multiple agents converged on the same bottleneck, that's a strong + signal. Break ties toward simpler changes. + +5. **Implement** the chosen change. Keep it focused — one optimization only. + +6. **Build**: `make -j$(nproc)` + +7. **Test**: `env NUM_PARTITIONS=20 TEST_SPEC="[tx]" make check` + If tests fail, fix your change (not the tests). If unfixable, revert and + document as failed. + +8. **Benchmark** with Tracy capture. Compare TPS to baseline. + +9. **Document the result**: + - Success → `docs/success/NNN-short-description.md`, then `git add -A && git commit -m "perf: " && git push` + - Failure → `docs/fail/NNN-short-description.md`, then `git checkout -- .` (revert code, keep doc locally) + +10. **Signal completion** by outputting the promise below. + +## Hard Constraints (DO NOT VIOLATE) + +- NO protocol changes (cost/metering changes OK) +- DO NOT change: thread count (4), batch size (1), target close time (1000ms) +- DO NOT change: apply-load benchmark code, unit test logic +- DO NOT optimize outside the ledger apply path (no tryAdd, no buildSurgePricedParallelSorobanPhase) +- DO NOT run benchmark if unit tests don't pass +- ONE change per experiment cycle +- `APPLY_LOAD_TIME_WRITES` must be `true` +- `APPLY_LOAD_NUM_LEDGERS` must be ≥ 10 + +## Environment + +- Build: `--enable-tracy --enable-tracy-capture`, clang-20 +- Tracy capture: `./tracy-capture` +- csvexport: `./lib/tracy/csvexport/build/unix/csvexport-release` +- Tracy output: `/mnt/xvdf/tracy/` +- Benchmark config: `docs/apply-load-max-sac-tps.cfg` +- Branch: `oh-my-opencode-test` + +## Important: Keep Binary Search Range Tight + +The benchmark config (`docs/apply-load-max-sac-tps.cfg`) has MIN_TPS and +MAX_TPS bounds for the binary search. Currently set to 7000–12000. If your +optimization pushes TPS near or above MAX_TPS, **raise MAX_TPS** in the config +before benchmarking so the search can find the true maximum. Keep the range +tight (within ~5000 of expected TPS) to minimize benchmark runtime. + +## Completion + +After documenting your experiment (success or failure), only if the TPS is at least 90,000, output: + +INCOMPLETE diff --git a/scripts/run_apply_load_matrix.py b/scripts/run_apply_load_matrix.py new file mode 100755 index 0000000000..061818a670 --- /dev/null +++ b/scripts/run_apply_load_matrix.py @@ -0,0 +1,586 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +from __future__ import annotations + +import argparse +import csv +import hashlib +import re +import shutil +import subprocess +import sys +import tempfile +from dataclasses import dataclass +from datetime import datetime, timezone +from pathlib import Path + + +SCRIPT_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent +DEFAULT_STELLAR_CORE_BIN = SCRIPT_DIR.parent / "src" / "stellar-core" +DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_CONFIG = SCRIPT_DIR.parent / "docs" / "apply-load-benchmark-sac.cfg" +DEFAULT_OUTPUT_ROOT = Path.home() / "apply-load" +DEFAULT_PERF_BIN = "perf" +DEFAULT_TRACY_CAPTURE_BIN = SCRIPT_DIR.parent / "tracy-capture" +DEFAULT_TRACY_SECONDS = 10 +APPLY_LOAD_NUM_LEDGERS = 200 + +FLOAT_RE = r"([-+]?\d+(?:\.\d+)?(?:[eE][-+]?\d+)?)" +RESULT_PATTERNS = { + "median_time_ms": re.compile(rf"p50 close time:\s+{FLOAT_RE}\s+ms"), + "p95_time_ms": re.compile(rf"p95 close time:\s+{FLOAT_RE}\s+ms"), + "p99_time_ms": re.compile(rf"p99 close time:\s+{FLOAT_RE}\s+ms"), +} + + +@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True) +class Scenario: + model_tx: str + tx_count: int + thread_count: int + time_writes: bool = True + disable_metrics: bool = True + sac_batch_size: int = 1 + + def __post_init__(self) -> None: + if self.sac_batch_size <= 0: + raise ValueError("sac_batch_size must be positive") + + if self.model_tx == "sac": + if self.sac_batch_size <= 0: + raise ValueError( + f"Scenario '{self.identifier()}' must define a positive SAC batch size" + ) + elif self.sac_batch_size != 1: + raise ValueError( + "sac_batch_size can only differ from 1 for model_tx='sac'" + ) + + def identifier(self) -> str: + parts = [self.model_tx, f"TX={self.tx_count}", f"T={self.thread_count}"] + if not self.time_writes: + parts.append("TW=0") + if not self.disable_metrics: + parts.append("DM=0") + if self.model_tx == "sac" and self.sac_batch_size != 1: + parts.append(f"B={self.sac_batch_size}") + return ",".join(parts) + + def slug(self) -> str: + return re.sub(r"[^a-z0-9]+", "-", self.identifier().lower()).strip("-") + + def summary(self) -> str: + return self.identifier() + + +SCENARIOS: tuple[Scenario, ...] = ( + Scenario( + model_tx="sac", + tx_count=6000, + thread_count=4, + ), + Scenario( + model_tx="sac", + tx_count=6000, + thread_count=8, + ), + Scenario( + model_tx="custom_token", + tx_count=3000, + thread_count=4, + ), + Scenario( + model_tx="custom_token", + tx_count=3000, + thread_count=8, + ), + Scenario( + model_tx="soroswap", + tx_count=2000, + thread_count=4, + ), + Scenario( + model_tx="soroswap", + tx_count=2000, + thread_count=8, + ), +) + + +def validate_scenarios(scenarios: tuple[Scenario, ...]) -> None: + for scenario in scenarios: + identifier = scenario.identifier() + + if scenario.model_tx != "sac": + continue + + if scenario.tx_count % scenario.sac_batch_size != 0: + raise ValueError( + "Invalid SAC scenario " + f"{identifier}: TX must be divisible by B" + ) + + sac_tx_envelopes = scenario.tx_count // scenario.sac_batch_size + if sac_tx_envelopes < scenario.thread_count: + raise ValueError( + "Invalid SAC scenario " + f"{identifier}: TX / B must be at least T" + ) + + if scenario.sac_batch_size > 1 and sac_tx_envelopes % scenario.thread_count != 0: + raise ValueError( + "Invalid SAC scenario " + f"{identifier}: TX / B must be divisible by T when B > 1" + ) + + +def parse_args() -> argparse.Namespace: + parser = argparse.ArgumentParser( + description="Run a fixed matrix of apply-load scenarios and emit a CSV summary.", + formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter, + ) + parser.add_argument( + "--stellar-core-bin", + type=Path, + default=DEFAULT_STELLAR_CORE_BIN, + help="Path to the stellar-core executable to run.", + ) + parser.add_argument( + "--template-config", + type=Path, + default=DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_CONFIG, + help="Path to the benchmark apply-load template config.", + ) + parser.add_argument( + "--output-root", + type=Path, + default=DEFAULT_OUTPUT_ROOT, + help="Directory where apply-load// outputs should be written.", + ) + parser.add_argument( + "--build-tag", + help="Optional build tag to embed in the run identifier.
