Backend:
- Persist best_diff as a high-water mark in kv store so it survives
restarts and transient ckpool gaps
- Persist acked_best_diff so the "new best share" glow survives pool
restarts and works across multiple new bests before dismissal
- Add POST /api/admin/ack-best and /api/admin/reset-ack-best endpoints
Frontend:
- Best share card: golden glow, shimmer, sparkles, "NEW BEST SHARE!"
tag with previous value, "Nice" dismiss button
- Optimistic local override so Nice/test buttons respond instantly
instead of waiting for next WebSocket push
- Fix shimmer sweep to go left-to-right (not start from middle)
- Share animations: reject (red flash + shake) suppresses accept;
reject effect declared first so guard reads correct state
- Share tooltips show exact counts on hover
- Block reward tooltip shows full amount in satoshis
- Expected block uses 1h hashrate instead of 1m
- formatDuration uses full unit names; years always show 1 decimal
- formatWork always shows 2 decimal places
- Map chain "main" to "mainnet" in block height card
Zeroes block-update latency counters (count, sum, last, wasted work)
in both memory and the kv store. Used by the StartOS reset-latency
action to let operators start fresh after tuning.
- Change OrphanedAt from time.Time to *time.Time so JSON omitempty
correctly omits zero values (Go serializes zero time.Time as
"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" which JS treats as truthy)
- Rewrite reconcileOnce with 4-pass architecture: enrichment, reorg
detection via GetBlock verification, false-positive un-orphaning,
and legacy block stamping
- Use inferOtherChain() to stamp cross-network blocks with the correct
chain identifier (testnet4 reports as "testnet4", not "test")
- Move tailer startup after aggregator's first refresh so blocks are
always stamped with the current chain
- Add StampChain store method, debug-blocks admin endpoint, and
comprehensive reconcile tests for cross-network scenarios
Removes the entire fallback submitter mechanism: ckpool patch 0004,
the blocksubmit package, the wiring in main.go, the config fields,
the aggregator's fallback counters and snapshot fields, the healthz
fallback fields, and the TS type fields plus the HealthBanners
fallback alert.
Reasoning: ckpool's primary bitcoind submission must remain the
single source of truth, and getting the parallel "race a fallback
during the submit" semantics right is more architectural complexity
than the marginal reliability gain justifies. The original upstream
behavior — submit to bitcoind, retry indefinitely if unavailable —
is what we want.
Kept intact:
* Submit-attempt vs confirmed counters (block_submit_attempts /
block_submits_confirmed). Useful on their own as a "did bitcoind
confirm the submission?" signal.
* HealthBanners shows submit_gap and zmq_stale only.
* /healthz exposes submit_gap, zmq_stale, etc.
* All P0 reliability work (tailer cursor, reconcile loop, reorg
detection, multi-solve guard) and other P1 (RPC retry, WS
back-pressure, ZMQ tracking, startup readiness gate).
P1 audits / fixes:
* Bitcoin Core RPC now retries up to 3 times with linear backoff on
transport errors, 5xx responses, and warm-up/loading RPC errors
(code -28). Hard "no" answers (block-not-found etc.) bubble up
immediately so we don't mask real errors.
* WebSocket hub disconnects clients that miss 6 consecutive broadcasts
(~30s with the default poll cadence). Stuck readers no longer hold
stale snapshots indefinitely or freeze hub state.
* ZMQ subscriber freshness: aggregator records the last-event
timestamp, surfaces zmq_enabled / has_last_zmq_event /
last_zmq_event_age in the snapshot. /healthz flags zmq_stale when
the gap exceeds 30 minutes.
* /healthz expanded with submit_attempts / submits_confirmed /
submit_gap, fallback_submits_total + last_fallback_*, and the zmq
staleness check. Now usable as a real-world ops dashboard signal.
Block-broadcast fallback (new feature):
* ckpool patch 0004: hooks local_block_submit to write the raw block
hex to <logdir>/pending-blocks/<height>-<hash16>.hex right before
invoking generator_submitblock. Unlinks on success. ckpool's normal
flow is otherwise untouched.
* api/internal/blocksubmit: watcher polls the dir every 5s. Files
sitting longer than the grace window (default 30s, configurable)
are re-broadcast through operator-supplied backup RPC URLs in
sequence. Treats both null and any "duplicate*" reject reason as
success (the block landed). Pre-checks the primary chain first so
a stale file from a successful-but-unlinked submit gets cleaned
up without bothering fallbacks.
* Aggregator records each successful fallback submission as a
persistent counter and surfaces it in the snapshot so the UI can
show a "primary bitcoind isn't accepting submits" alert.
* Config: BACKUP_RPC_URLS (comma- or newline-separated, with
optional inline credentials) plus PENDING_BLOCKS_DIR and
PENDING_BLOCKS_GRACE. URLs are parsed via net/url so
https://user:pass@host:port/ works cleanly.
The fallback is opt-in and disabled by default. Once enabled with at
least one URL, a primary bitcoind outage at the moment of solving no
longer means a lost block — kamado-api re-broadcasts via whichever
backup the operator trusts (a second self-hosted node, an
authenticated public RPC service, etc.).
The production image is now a single Go binary that serves both the
JSON/WebSocket API under /api and the Svelte dashboard at /.
- New internal/webui package embeds a dist/ subdir via //go:embed.
A placeholder index.html is committed so `go build` works on a
fresh checkout; anything else in dist/ is regenerated per build
and gitignored.
- httpapi.Server.Handler mounts the embed.FS at / with SPA-style
fallback: unknown non-/api paths serve index.html so client-side
routes survive a reload. /api/* is carved out explicitly so POSTs
or typos never accidentally shadow API semantics with HTML.
- api/Dockerfile grows a node:22 builder stage that runs
`npm ci && npm run build`, and the Go stage copies ui/dist/ into
internal/webui/dist/ before `go build`. Build context moves to
the repo root (docker-compose + `make api` both updated) so the
Dockerfile can see both api/ and ui/.
With this in place, `make up` brings the whole stack online at
http://localhost:8080 — API under /api, dashboard at /. The Vite
dev server on :5173 with the /api proxy is still available via
`make ui-dev` for hot-reload development.
Adds real-time block detection via ckpool log tailing and a push
channel for the upcoming Svelte UI, all stdlib-only:
- logmon.Tailer follows ckpool.log with rotation/truncation survival
(inode + size tracking) and parses "Solved and confirmed block N"
into BlockEvent values.
- state.Aggregator grows a 256-entry block ring, an OnRefresh hook,
and IngestBlockEvents which best-effort enriches events with the
block hash via bitcoind getblockhash.
- httpapi.Hub implements RFC 6455 from scratch (SHA1 handshake,
unmasked text frames out, masked frames in, ping keepalive,
per-client write mutex, slow-client drop) so we don't pull in a
ws dependency before we can go mod tidy.
- New routes: GET /api/blocks and GET /api/ws. Snapshot pushes fire
on every poll tick and immediately on block-solve.
ZMQ hashblock subscription and SQLite persistence are deferred to
Phase 2b.5 once the s9pk packaging repo exists and we have a real
build environment for adding Go deps.
Go 1.22 module that polls CKPool's Unix socket control API, queries
Bitcoin Core over JSON-RPC, merges both into a thread-safe snapshot, and
serves it over REST. Layout:
api/
├── cmd/kamado-api/main.go signal-aware entrypoint
└── internal/
├── config/ env var loader with validation
├── ckpool/ socket client (4-byte LE length-prefixed wire
│ protocol verified against libckpool.c), typed
│ response models for poolstats/users/workers/
│ clients/uptime, + unit tests using a fake
│ unix socket server
├── bitcoind/ minimal JSON-RPC client, getblockchaininfo
│ and getnetworkhashps
├── state/ Aggregator that refreshes a merged Snapshot
│ on a ticker; readers get a copy under RWMutex
└── httpapi/ REST handlers on Go 1.22 ServeMux:
/api/health /api/pool /api/users
/api/workers /api/clients /api/snapshot
CKPool stores hashrate as "dsps" (diff shares per second); we convert
to H/s via the 2^32 constant used by GoBrrr-Pool and other clients.
Every stat CKPool exposes to its socket API is surfaced — useragent,
IP, per-client diff, per-worker best diff — closing the gap against
Bassin which only reads the 60-second stats files.
Dockerfile does a CGO_ENABLED=0 static build on golang:1.22-bookworm
with -trimpath -ldflags=-s -w. docker-compose now runs both ckpool and
kamado-api, sharing a named volume for /run/ckpool so the API can
dial the stratifier socket directly.
Deferred to Phase 2b (called out in README):
- Bitcoin Core ZMQ hashblock subscriber
- WebSocket push for real-time UI updates
- SQLite persistence (block history, best-share history)
- CKPool log tailer for "Solved and confirmed block" detection
Tests and build NOT run in this commit — Go isn't installed in the
dev environment. Run `make api-test` or `make api` to verify.
