fix(profile)(sphere-sdk#551): swallow transient PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED + 2 soak-script fixes

[vrogojin]

Summary

• Intermittent PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED race during sphere trader spawn on fresh wallets #551 PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED race in ProfileStorageProvider.writeEnvelope: re-check dbConnected after the set() await window AND catch transient PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED from the adapter, returning rather than propagating. The local cache write at the top of set() has already completed — the entry is durable — and the next save() re-emits the whole collection. Asymmetric-adapter config errors stay outside the try/catch.
• soak rate-band fix (cherry-pick of fix(soak): trader-roundtrip default rate band must fit bob's hardcoded deposit #538's commit 60be0dc): default rate_max=0.09 so rate_max × volume_max = 4.5 ETH matches bob's hardcoded deposit (avoids VOLUME_RESERVATION_FAILED mid-soak).
• soak agreed-volume assert fix: compare against $TRADER_VOLUME_UCT (human-decimal — what the deal API returns) instead of $EXPECTED_UCT_SMALLEST (the bigint smallest-units form used in §10 portfolio deltas). Also add BOB_AGREED_VOLUME cross-check + widen regex to accept fractional volumes.

Verification

Four soak runs against testnet, captured at /tmp/trader-soak-551/run{1..4}.log:

Run	What	§3 spawn	§8 settle	§9 volume	Total
1	#551 fix only	OK	— (stopped at §7 rate-band)	—	partial
2	#551 + rate-band	OK	FAIL (verifyPayout thrash)	—	partial
3	+ cherry of #534 from main	OK	OK	FAIL (wrong-units cmp)	17/18
4	+ agreed-volume fix	OK	OK	OK	18/18 ASSERT OK

Run 2 → 3 transition was the deeper investigation: /home/vrogojin/sphere-sdk was on debug/market-log-body at 8c7d93d, pre-a063d4b7 (#534). The trader docker build context pulls from that path. Resetting sphere-sdk to current main + re-cherry-picking my fixes + rebuilding the trader image as trader:v0.6-fix551-fix534 (also retagged v0.6 / v0.2) unblocked §8.

Run 4 — final scorecard:

ASSERT OK (faucet)
ASSERT OK (escrow-reachable)
ASSERT OK (market-api-reachable)
ASSERT OK (alice-trader-spawn)         <- #551 fix
ASSERT OK (bob-trader-spawn)           <- #551 fix
ASSERT OK (alice-tenant-deposit-uct)
ASSERT OK (bob-tenant-deposit-eth)
ASSERT OK (alice-intent-listed)
ASSERT OK (bob-intent-listed)          <- rate-band fix
ASSERT OK (deal-completed)             <- #534 (already in main)
ASSERT OK (agreed-rate-matches)
ASSERT OK (agreed-volume)              <- agreed-volume fix (this PR)

ASSERT OK (eth-delta-symmetry)
ASSERT OK (eth-delta-in-band)
ASSERT OK (alice-no-failed-deals)

grep -c PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED run4.log = 0.

Tests

• 4 new unit tests in tests/unit/profile/profile-storage-provider.test.ts:
  • putEntry throws PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED → set() resolves, cache holds value
  • legacy raw put() throws PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED → same outcome
  • dbConnected flips false mid-encrypt() → OpLog write skipped
  • non-PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED errors still propagate
• Full tests/unit/profile + tests/unit/modules/Communications* (2407 tests) passes.

Relationship to other open PRs

• PR fix(soak): trader-roundtrip default rate band must fit bob's hardcoded deposit #538 is fully subsumed (its single commit 60be0dc is cherry-picked here as 28076b96). Close as superseded after this merges.
• PR chore(release): normalise package.json version to valid semver (0.0.1-alpha.1) #478 (semver), fix(transport)(sphere-sdk#473): defer DM cursor advance until dispatch resolves #476 (DM cursor), Wallet api integration #524 (wallet API, DRAFT) are independent.

Test plan

• Unit tests pass (2407 tests, full profile + communications scope)
• Soak passes 18/18 ASSERT OK (run 4)
• #551 reproducer cleared 4/4 runs (no PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED across all attempts)
• Trader docker image rebuilt + retagged
