Summary

  • Closes Observability+ZK-friendly: commitment-based public aggregates without leaking full orderbooks early #371 — publishes a rolling SHA-256 commitment over pool_up/pool_down (and the Precision aggregate stake) during a round's betting window instead of exposing raw aggregates in events, reducing what a passive indexer observes pre-close.
  • New permissionless open_pool_commitment entrypoint reveals the salt + final aggregate once bet_end_ledger passes (also triggered automatically at settlement/cancellation/refund), so any observer can recompute and verify the commitment against the last published event.
  • get_round_pool_stats is left fully unchanged — additive-only, no breaking change.
  • Splits the monolithic DataKey enum into DataKeyCore/DataKeyExt/DataKeyScoped to give the new commitment keys a scoped namespace; this mechanically touches most contract modules.

Known issues

16 pre-existing tests currently fail on this branch (cei_ordering, cost_benchmarks, leaderboard/leaderboard_seasons, pending_winnings_expiry, resolution), including a stake-weighted Precision payout regression in resolution.rs (test_resolve_precision_stake_weighted_policy). Filing this PR as-is per author request; follow-up fix needed before merge.

Test plan

  • cargo build --lib — clean
  • cargo test --lib pool_commitments — 11/11 new tests pass
  • cargo test --lib — 619/635 pass, 16 known failures (see above) — needs fix before merge

…ement (TevaLabs#371)

Publish a rolling SHA-256 commitment over pool_up/pool_down (and the
Precision aggregate stake) during a round's betting window instead of
exposing raw aggregates in events, reducing the observability surface
available to passive indexers before close. The salt and final
aggregate are revealed via open_pool_commitment once bet_end_ledger
passes (or automatically at settlement), so any observer can verify
the commitment against the last published event.

Splits the monolithic DataKey enum into DataKeyCore/DataKeyExt/
DataKeyScoped to give the new commitment keys a scoped namespace,
which touches most contract modules mechanically.

Known issue: 16 pre-existing tests fail on this branch (cei_ordering,
cost_benchmarks, leaderboard, pending_winnings_expiry, resolution),
including a stake-weighted Precision payout regression in
resolution.rs. Tracked for a follow-up fix.

Review — Request changes

Thanks for the clear PR body and the honest “known failures” section. The commitment module itself (commitments.rs) is a reasonable sketch, but this is not mergeable yet given broken CI surface, error-semantic regressions, and missing docs called out in code.

Blocking

  1. Full suite is red (author-reported)
    PR states 619/635 pass with 16 failures (cei_ordering, cost_benchmarks, leaderboard seasons, pending_winnings_expiry, resolution including test_resolve_precision_stake_weighted_policy, etc.).

    Please do not merge until cargo test --lib is green (or failures are proven pre-existing on the same main tip with a bisect note). A payout-policy regression in resolution.rs is especially serious.

  2. Error-code semantic regressions
    Diff remaps several distinct errors onto unrelated variants, which will break clients and operators:

    • OracleNotSetAdminNotSet (heartbeat path)
    • UnsupportedDataKeyForTtlTouchInvalidMode
    • quorum validation → OracleDeviationExceeded (was TooFewObservations / InsufficientOracleQuorum)
    • missing expiry / missing pending → all PendingWinningsNotExpired

    Fix: restore precise ContractError variants (add aliases only if XDR/variant limits force a split — don’t collapse meanings).

  3. Referenced doc missing
    commitments.rs points at docs/POOL_COMMITMENTS.md, but that file is not in the PR (404 on the branch). Add the doc (trust boundary, what is/isn’t hidden, verification steps) or remove the reference.

High

  1. Observability goal vs get_round_pool_stats
    Leaving raw pool stats fully public means a passive indexer still learns aggregates pre-close. That’s fine if intentional, but then the PR should frame this as binding/fairness commitments, not as hiding pool sizes. Consider:

    • gating get_round_pool_stats behind bet_end_ledger / opening, or
    • documenting explicitly that storage/RPC still leaks and events-only consumers are the only audience.
  2. Opening with zero salt fallback
    _open_pool_commitment uses [0u8; 32] when salt is missing. Prefer fail-closed (Err / no-op without emitting a verifiable open) so a missing salt can’t produce a plausible opening event.

  3. Huge unrelated churn
    types.rs (−2615) and especially tests/security.rs (−7953 / +2181) make review extremely hard and raise “accidental behavior change” risk. Split:

    • PR A: DataKey split / storage namespace (mechanical)
    • PR B: pool commitments feature + focused tests
    • Avoid rewriting unrelated security tests unless required to compile.

Medium / nits

  1. Confirm AlreadyRevealed / InvalidRevealWindow are stable public codes and covered in bindings if the frontend uses them.
  2. Add a golden test that recomputes sha256(preimage) from a published opening and matches the last ("pool","commit") event (end-to-end verifier).
  3. Salt via env.prng() is correctly caveated — keep that language in the missing doc so reviewers don’t treat this as confidentiality.

Re-review checklist

  • cargo test --lib green on this branch
  • Error codes restored / not overloaded
  • docs/POOL_COMMITMENTS.md added (or refs removed)
  • Diff slimmed or split; no silent security-test rewrites
  • Optional: fail-closed on missing salt; clarify pool-stats policy
