feat(oracle): Add manual rescue tool for failed randomness jobs
Copy everything below this line:
Implements a comprehensive manual intervention system for failed oracle jobs. Provides CLI and API tools for operators to rescue stuck randomness requests when automatic retries are exhausted.
When oracle jobs fail after all automatic retries (5 attempts with exponential backoff), they remain in a failed state with no recovery mechanism. This blocks raffles from being finalized and requires manual intervention.
Current pain points:
- No way to retry failed jobs
- No manual submission capability
- No audit trail of interventions
- Operators must directly manipulate Redis/database
A three-pronged rescue system:
- CLI Tool - Command-line interface for operators (
npm run oracle:rescue) - REST API - 6 endpoints for programmatic access
- Audit System - Complete logging of all manual interventions
- ✅ Re-enqueue - Retry failed jobs (temporary failures like RPC timeout)
- ✅ Force Submit - Manually compute and submit randomness (persistent failures)
- ✅ Force Fail - Mark jobs as invalid (malicious/invalid requests)
- ✅ List Jobs - View failed and all jobs by state
- ✅ Audit Logs - Complete history of rescue operations
POST /rescue/re-enqueue - Re-enqueue a failed job
POST /rescue/force-submit - Force submit randomness
POST /rescue/force-fail - Force fail a job
GET /rescue/failed-jobs - List failed jobs
GET /rescue/jobs - List all jobs by state
GET /rescue/logs - View rescue audit logs
GET /rescue/logs/:raffleId - View logs for specific raffle
# Re-enqueue a failed job
npm run oracle:rescue re-enqueue <jobId> --operator <name> --reason "<reason>"
# Force submit randomness manually
npm run oracle:rescue force-submit <raffleId> <requestId> --operator <name> --reason "<reason>"
# Force fail invalid job
npm run oracle:rescue force-fail <jobId> --operator <name> --reason "<reason>"
# List failed jobs
npm run oracle:rescue list-failed
# List all jobs
npm run oracle:rescue list-all
# View audit logs
npm run oracle:rescue logs [--raffle <id>] [--limit <n>]- ✅ Operator identification - All operations require operator name
- ✅ Reason tracking - All operations require explanation
- ✅ Complete audit trail - Timestamp, operator, reason, result logged
- ✅ Idempotency checks - Safe to retry operations
- ✅ Raffle state validation - Checks if already finalized before submission
- ✅ Auto VRF/PRNG selection - Based on prize amount (≥500 XLM = VRF)
- ✅ Auto prize fetch - Fetches from contract if not provided
- ✅ Comprehensive error handling - Graceful failures with clear messages
- ✅ In-memory audit log - Last 1000 entries, filterable by raffle
