fix(message-router): restore poll status codes and prime the window at startup - #100
Conversation
Three things, each verified present before fixing. Status code. GetCurl reports a non-JSON body as an unmarshal error alongside the real code, so splitting the branches sent the "endpoint not deployed" case down the err path and dropped the code. A bootstrap without the route serves a 404 HTML page, and the log read only "failed to unmarshal response: invalid character '<'", which says nothing about why. status_code is now a field on the one branch, and the logger already tolerates a nil error, so the two cases fold back together. Startup prime. Nothing polled at construction, so a gateway accelerated every block until the first 30s tick: a slot inside the horizon and unselected was forwarded anyway. That is the fail-open path taken for want of an answer rather than because one was unavailable. bgSync now polls before entering its loop. TestShouldAccelerateBlock serves failures until its fail-open assertion is done, since the prime would otherwise race it. Token deadline. ServicesToken mints over HTTP when nothing is cached and was called with the poll's 5s context, so a slow mint ate the poll's budget. It now runs before the deadline is applied. Also, the stub's auth check answered with require on fiber's handler goroutine, where a failed assertion calls t.FailNow off the test goroutine. Go does not support that: the handler goexits mid-request and the caller sees a transport error rather than the missing header. Both routes now answer 401. Not addressed: the gateway still treats every slot below to_slot as examined, though bootstrap only examines [to_slot-96, to_slot]. A slot far beneath the window reads as "not selected" instead of "not looked at". Unreachable in normal operation, and not fixable here without from_slot in the response.

Handle the token acquisition error explicitly.
When ServicesToken fails, Line [52] discards the error and continues with nil headers. If anonymous polling is intentional, log the token error before continuing. If authentication is required, return without polling. The current path can hide the cause behind a later poll status.
As per path instructions, changed Go paths must not silently drop errors.

ServicesToken(ctx) uses the process ctx. mint is RetryPostRequest on http.DefaultClient (no timeout). A hung auth never reaches the 5s poll deadline, and this prime sits before the bgSync loop, so SetKnownValidators stalls too.
Happy path is cached (main and newTestServiceAt already mint). The cold-cache case this change is for is exactly when it can hang.
Give mint its own 5s, then poll its own 5s.

Confirmed and applied. Verified both halves: RetryPostRequest against a non-answering server hung past 120s with no deadline, and returned in 500ms with one. Worse than I had it, since the prime is synchronous at the top of bgSync.

The fold is correct (GetCurl returns code+unmarshal err together).

Unchanged. Added a ServicesToken error log above it, since a failed mint otherwise surfaces only as the 401 here and reads as a bootstrap fault.

Trimmed. Also swapped the in-handler require for assert just below, same FailNow-off-the-test-goroutine problem as the fiber handlers.

Eventually is the right shape - the prime runs on bgSync's goroutine. Don't replace it with a direct RefreshAccelerateSlots call. Cut the comment.

Eventually kept, comment cut. Also moved the window seeding ahead of newGateway via a prepare hook: the prime read the empty stub and could store fail-open after the explicit refresh.

401 instead of require in the Fiber goroutine is the fix. One line.

… network Review found the prime had made two latent things live. Token mint. Moving ServicesToken outside the poll deadline left it on the process context, and mint runs RetryPostRequest on http.DefaultClient, which has no timeout. Since the prime is synchronous at the top of bgSync, a hung auth would stall SetKnownValidators as well, forever, in exactly the cold-cache case the prime exists for. Verified: no deadline hangs past 120s, a 500ms one returns in 500ms. Mint now takes its own 5s, then the poll takes its own. newTestService pointed at dev-bootstrap.getoptimum.io. That was inert while nothing in bgSync did I/O; with the prime every caller fired a real request, carrying a rig-signed JWT, at a shared host. It stubs 404s locally now. The gate test seeded its window after constructing the router, so the prime read an empty stub and could store fail-open after the explicit refresh. newGateway takes prepare hooks that run before any service polls. Also: log the ServicesToken error instead of discarding it, since a failed mint otherwise surfaces only as a 401 that reads as a bootstrap fault; hoist the verdict strings into constants, they were duplicated between decideAccelerate and the gate; swap in-handler require for assert, the same FailNow-off-the-test- goroutine problem this branch already fixed for the fiber handlers. Comments trimmed to one line throughout, per review.

feat/adr-0012-accelerate-slots(#96), notmain. Three issues, each reproduced before fixing.The poll log lost its status code.
GetCurlreports a non-JSON body as an unmarshal error alongside the real code, so splitting the branches sent the "endpoint not deployed" case down theerrpath. A bootstrap without the route serves a 404 HTML page, and the line read:No 404, which is the half that says what is wrong, and it is the state of every environment where optimum-bootstrap#326 has not shipped.
status_codeis now a field; the logger tolerates a nil error, so the two branches fold back into one. Now:"error":"...","status_code":404.Nothing polled at startup. Verified: 0 polls after
NewService, and a slot inside the horizon and unselected accelerated anyway. That is fail-open for want of an answer rather than because one was unavailable, for 30s after every restart.bgSyncnow polls before entering its loop.TestShouldAccelerateBlockserves failures until its fail-open assertion is done, since the prime would otherwise race it.The token mint shared the poll's deadline.
ServicesTokenmints over HTTP when nothing is cached and was called with the 5s context, so a slow mint ate the poll's budget. It now runs before the deadline is applied. This one is by inspection: the mint is cached on every practical path, so I could not construct a failure cheaply.Also, the stub's auth check used
requireon fiber's handler goroutine, where a failed assertion callst.FailNowoff the test goroutine. Go does not support that: the handler goexits mid-request and the caller sees a transport error instead of the missing header. Both routes now answer 401.Verified
TestAccelerateSlotsPrimedAtStartupfails when the prime is removed. The three existing mutations still fail correctly (gate deleted, ADR-0011 emit suppressed, gate fed the clock instead of the header slot).Build, vet and gofmt clean. Full suite clean apart from
TestGatewayReal, the manual harness needingOPT_API_KEY.One caveat: a full-suite run showed
TestSetupLibP2PHost_DisallowsNonAllowlistedInboundPeerfailing once. I could not reproduce it in a controlled comparison (two package runs with the prime, one without, all clean), a different member of that family flaked before this branch existed, and every gateway-constructing test points at the in-process stub viaSpawnLocalDeps, so the prime adds no real network call. Evidence that it is unrelated, not proof.Not addressed
The gateway still treats every slot below
to_slotas examined, though bootstrap only examines[to_slot-96, to_slot]. Confirmed: withto_slot: 1000000, slot 5 is dropped as "not selected" rather than "not looked at". Unreachable in normal operation, since duties run about 32 to 64 slots ahead and blocks arrive within 3 slots of the clock, leaving roughly 29 slots of margin. But one far-future row inproposer_dutieswould dragto_slotahead of real data and silently disable acceleration fleet-wide, which is the failureto_slotexists to prevent. Not fixable here withoutfrom_slotin the response, so it wants an ADR decision rather than a patch.Written with Claude Code
