* Add a function to deterministically decide which Serai blocks should be co-signed
Has a 5 minute latency between co-signs, also used as the maximal latency
before a co-sign is started.
* Get all active tributaries we're in at a specific block
* Add and route CosignSubstrateBlock, a new provided TX
* Split queued cosigns per network
* Rename BatchSignId to SubstrateSignId
* Add SubstrateSignableId, a meta-type for either Batch or Block, and modularize around it
* Handle the CosignSubstrateBlock provided TX
* Revert substrate_signer.rs to develop (and patch to still work)
Due to SubstrateSigner moving when the prior multisig closes, yet cosigning
occurring with the most recent key, a single SubstrateSigner can be reused.
We could manage multiple SubstrateSigners, yet considering the much lower
specifications for cosigning, I'd rather treat it distinctly.
* Route cosigning through the processor
* Add note to rename SubstrateSigner post-PR
I don't want to do so now in order to preserve the diff's clarity.
* Implement cosign evaluation into the coordinator
* Get tests to compile
* Bug fixes, mark blocks without cosigners available as cosigned
* Correct the ID Batch preprocesses are saved under, add log statements
* Create a dedicated function to handle cosigns
* Correct the flow around Batch verification/queueing
Verifying `Batch`s could stall when a `Batch` was signed before its
predecessors/before the block it's contained in was cosigned (the latter being
inevitable as we can't sign a block containing a signed batch before signing
the batch).
Now, Batch verification happens on a distinct async task in order to not block
the handling of processor messages. This task is the sole caller of verify in
order to ensure last_verified_batch isn't unexpectedly mutated.
When the processor message handler needs to access it, or needs to queue a
Batch, it associates the DB TXN with a lock preventing the other task from
doing so.
This lock, as currently implemented, is a poor and inefficient design. It
should be modified to the pattern used for cosign management. Additionally, a
new primitive of a DB-backed channel may be immensely valuable.
Fixes a standing potential deadlock and a deadlock introduced with the
cosigning protocol.
* Working full-stack tests
After the last commit, this only required extending a timeout.
* Replace "co-sign" with "cosign" to make finding text easier
* Update the coordinator tests to support cosigning
* Inline prior_batch calculation to prevent panic on rotation
Noticed when doing a final review of the branch.
The tests have recently had their timing stilted, causing failures. The tests
are... fine. They're fragile, as obvious, yet they're logical. The simplest fix
is to unstilt their timing rather to make them non-fragile.
The recent change, which presumably caused said stilting, was the the
rebroadcasting added. This de-duplication prevents most of the impact of
rebroadcasting. While there's still the async task, and the lock acquisition on
attempt to rebroadcast, this hopefully is enough.
This isn't an unacceptable timeout. It matches a prior timeout. I'm unsure why
it's now needed to be extended though. My best guess is the test runtime is
single threaded and there's now new overhead in the task management (or perhaps
higher latency now that messages per-tributary is serialized).
It's largely unoptimized, and not yet exclusive to validators, yet has basic
sanity (using message content for ID instead of sender + index).
Fixes bugs as found. Notably, we used a time in milliseconds where the
Tributary expected seconds.
Also has Tributary::new jump to the presumed round number. This reduces slashes
when starting new chains (whose times will be before the current time) and was
the only way I was able to observe successful confirmations given current
surrounding infrastructure.
Reduces lock contention.
Additionally changes block_key to include the genesis. While not technically
needed, the lack of genesis introduced a side effect where any Tributary on the
the database could return the block of any other Tributary. While that wasn't a
security issue, returning it suggested it was on-chain when it wasn't. This may
have been usable to create issues.
