closes #63
Pull Request: Dynamic Attestor Reputation and Algorithmic Discovery (#63)

Summary

Closes #63. Implements dynamic attestor reputation and an algorithmic discovery engine for the backend indexer/API.

Acceptance criteria

  1. Indexer listens to attestor vote / overturn events. The decoder (src/indexer/events.ts) now
    handles votecast (AttestorVoted) and voteres/votefall (AttestorOverturned / final outcome).
    Panel assignments are attributed from get_commitment on disputed, and stake availability is
    tracked from staked/unstaked.
  2. Reliability algorithm. reliability = (Successful_Resolutions / Total_Assigned) * Accuracy_Weight
    in src/attestor/reliability.ts. Total_Assigned = disputes the attestor was on the panel for; a
    vote is a Successful_Resolution when it is not overturned (its outcome matches the dispute's
    final outcome). Accuracy_Weight is env-tunable (ATTESTOR_ACCURACY_WEIGHT, default 1). Uptime
    (voted before timeout) and accuracy (not overturned) are exposed as separate ratios.
  3. High-performance discovery REST endpoint. GET /attestors/discover?max_fee=&domain=&min_reliability=&limit=
    returns a ranked, filtered list of available (active + staked) attestors; plus
    GET /attestors/:address/reliability and an operator POST /attestors/register for off-chain
    fee / domain expertise (no on-chain fee/domain exists). Results are Redis-cached.

Notes / design decisions

  • The Soroban contract emits no dedicated AttestorVoted/AttestorOverturned/AttestorAssigned events;
    we map to the existing votecast + voteres/votefall symbols and read panel membership via
    get_commitment (same read-only technique as the existing fetchDueAt).
  • Fee and domain expertise have no on-chain representation, so they live in an off-chain
    attestor_registry table (seeded from staked events, refined via the register endpoint).
  • Migration 008_attestor_reliability.sql adds the tables + vw_attestor_reliability view
    (immutable-checksum migration).

Changes

  • backend/src/db/migrations/008_attestor_reliability.sql (new tables + view)
  • backend/src/indexer/events.ts (decode votecast/voteres/votefall/staked/unstaked)
  • backend/src/workers/indexer.ts (project assignments, votes, outcomes, registry stake)
  • backend/src/attestor/types.ts (new)
  • backend/src/attestor/reliability.ts (pure scoring, unit-tested)
  • backend/src/attestor/repository.ts (getReliability, discoverAttestors, register)
  • backend/src/attestor/cache.ts (Redis cache for reliability + discovery)
  • backend/src/routes/attestor.ts (discover / reliability / register endpoints)
  • backend/src/index.ts (mount attestor router)
  • backend/package.json + tsconfig.attestor-test.json (test:attestor script)
  • backend/tests/attestor.test.ts (unit + integration tests)

Test plan

  • Unit: computeReliability scoring (uptime/accuracy/weight/clamping).
  • Integration: projection of assignments/votes/outcomes into a score and ranked, fee/domain-filtered
    discovery (backend/tests/attestor.test.ts, run via npm run test:attestor).
  • Typecheck: npm run build.

Local build note

The local environment has a pre-existing @types/pg x TypeScript 6 parse incompatibility in the
hoisted node_modules that affects all existing pg-importing files and is unrelated to this change.
The code in this PR introduces zero new type errors and should build/test cleanly in CI (pinned TS 5.x).

Summary by CodeRabbit

…Protocol#63)

Implement dynamic attestor reputation and algorithmic discovery:

- Migration 008: attestor_registry, attestor_assignments, attestor_votes,
  attestor_dispute_outcomes tables + vw_attestor_reliability view.
- Indexer now decodes votecast (AttestorVoted) and voteres/votefall
  (AttestorOverturned) events, attributes panel assignments via
  get_commitment, and tracks stake via staked/unstaked.
- Reliability = (Successful_Resolutions / Total_Assigned) * Accuracy_Weight
  capturing uptime (voted before timeout) and accuracy (not overturned).
- REST discovery endpoint GET /attestors/discover filtered by fee limit and
  domain expertise, ranked by reliability; plus /attestors/:address/
  reliability and operator register endpoint. Redis-cached.
- Unit + integration tests for the scoring and discovery queries.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 873be

This PR adds attestor registration, cached discovery, and reliability projection, but the current head can allow unauthorized metadata changes, overwrite registry values during partial updates, and return failed, repeated, or inconsistent discovery and reliability results when indexing or Redis operations encounter problems; the bot development command may also fail to execute TypeScript. These concrete security, data-integrity, availability, and correctness risks make the PR unsafe to merge without fixes.

Make cache invalidation best-effort.

getReliability and getDiscovery tolerate Redis failures, but invalidate rejects them. The indexer and registration route await this call after source-of-truth writes. If Redis is unavailable, registration returns an error after a successful upsert, and event projection fails or retries after a successful database write.

Reject a non-numeric accuracy weight.

Number('high') returns NaN. Every reliabilityScore then becomes NaN, which serializes to null in the cache payload and in API responses. The same expression is repeated in backend/src/attestor/repository.ts line 63, so the SQL parameter becomes NaN as well.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Align the score scale with the discovery SQL.

computeReliability clamps the weighted score to 1. discoverAttestors in backend/src/attestor/repository.ts line 96 computes v.successful_resolutions_ratio * $1 with no clamp, and line 77 filters minReliability on that unclamped value. With ATTESTOR_ACCURACY_WEIGHT above 1 the two paths disagree: the reliability endpoint reports 1.0 for every attestor at ratio >= 1/weight, while discovery reports and ranks by values above 1. Clamping also removes the ranking spread that the weight is documented to create at lines 7-8.

Pick one scale. If the score must stay in 0..1, clamp the SQL expression too. If the weight must amplify, drop the clamp here.

♻️ Option: keep the weighted product unclamped in both layers

Partial registration overwrites stored fee, domains, and active.

Lines 119-121 replace missing fields with 0, [], and true before the insert. EXCLUDED.fee, EXCLUDED.domains, and EXCLUDED.active are therefore never NULL, so the COALESCE fallbacks at lines 113-115 never apply. An operator who re-registers with only domains set loses the stored fee and is ranked as a zero-fee attestor by discoverAttestors (ORDER BY reliability_score DESC, r.fee ASC). An operator who omits active is silently reactivated.

Pass null for absent fields and keep the COALESCE fallbacks.

Note: with COALESCE inside VALUES, EXCLUDED also loses the NULL. Use the raw parameters in the DO UPDATE SET clause instead, for example fee = COALESCE($2::bigint, attestor_registry.fee).

Validate the stake amount as an integer string.

String(value) can produce a value that is not a valid bigint literal. A decoded number above 1e20 becomes exponential notation, for example "1e+21". An arbitrary decoded string passes through unchanged. upsertRegistryStake binds this value to a BIGINT column in backend/src/attestor/repository.ts lines 173-182, so Postgres rejects the statement. projectAttestorEvent only logs the failure, so the stake change is dropped and the attestor stays excluded by the r.staked > 0 discovery filter.

Normalize the amount the same way toCommitmentId normalizes ids.

🛠️ Proposed fix
     case 'staked':
     case 'unstaked': {
       const attestor = topicValues[0];

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Implement cursor pagination before exposing cursor.

The route accepts and forwards cursor, but PostgresAttestorRepository.discoverAttestors does not use query.cursor in its query. Any request for a later page returns the first page again. Use a stable cursor predicate based on the ranking tuple, or remove cursor and the pagination claim.

Require authentication and ownership checks for attestor.

backend/src/index.ts mounts this router without authentication middleware. The route only validates the address format, then passes the body-selected address to registerAttestor, whose SQL performs an insert or update. An unauthenticated request can modify any attestor’s fee, domains, or active metadata. Reject requests unless the authenticated operator controls the submitted attestor.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

A failed panel fetch silently zeroes reliability for the whole panel.

fetchPanel returns null when contractId or networkPassphrase is unset, when the simulation errors, or when attestors is not an array. This branch then returns without inserting assignments and without logging. attestor_assignments is the only source of total_assigned in vw_attestor_reliability, so votes on that commitment still land in attestor_votes while total_assigned stays 0. The view then reports uptime_ratio = 0 and successful_resolutions_ratio = 0, and discovery ranks those attestors by fee and address instead of reliability. Nothing re-reads the panel for an already-committed ledger, so the loss is permanent.

Log the skip so the gap is observable, and fail the projection so the outer handler records it.

🛠️ Proposed fix
     case 'disputed': {
       const panel = await fetchPanel(event.commitmentId);
-      if (panel && panel.length > 0) {
-        await repo.insertAssignments(event.commitmentId, panel);
-        await Promise.all(panel.map((a) => cache.invalidate(a)));
-      }
+      if (!panel || panel.length === 0) {
+        throw new Error(
+          `No attestor panel resolved for commitment ${event.commitmentId}; assignments not recorded`,
+        );
+      }
+      await repo.insertAssignments(event.commitmentId, panel);
+      await Promise.all(panel.map((a) => cache.invalidate(a)));
       return;
     }

A durable fix needs a retry path, for example a pending_panel_fetch row that a background job drains, so a transient RPC failure does not permanently zero total_assigned.

B was assigned to commitments 1 and 2 in the first test without voting, and that state carried into the second test, lowering B's reliability to 1/3 so A (0.5) outranked B and the discovery ranking assertion failed. Scope B's assignments to only the dispute it actually votes on so B is a genuine perfect attestor (reliability 1.0) that outranks A, matching the test's intent. The reliability algorithm and repository were already correct.

Make the TypeScript executor explicit for dev:bot.

nodemon has no configured .ts executor, and ts-node is only declared as a dependency. The command can therefore pass discordBot.ts to the default interpreter and fail on its TypeScript syntax. Use nodemon --exec ts-node src/workers/discordBot.ts or run the compiled JavaScript.
