Conversation
…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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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
-
Full suite is red (author-reported)
PR states 619/635 pass with 16 failures (cei_ordering,cost_benchmarks, leaderboard seasons,pending_winnings_expiry,resolutionincludingtest_resolve_precision_stake_weighted_policy, etc.).Please do not merge until
cargo test --libis green (or failures are proven pre-existing on the samemaintip with a bisect note). A payout-policy regression inresolution.rsis especially serious. -
Error-code semantic regressions
Diff remaps several distinct errors onto unrelated variants, which will break clients and operators:OracleNotSet→AdminNotSet(heartbeat path)UnsupportedDataKeyForTtlTouch→InvalidMode- quorum validation →
OracleDeviationExceeded(wasTooFewObservations/InsufficientOracleQuorum) - missing expiry / missing pending → all
PendingWinningsNotExpired
Fix: restore precise
ContractErrorvariants (add aliases only if XDR/variant limits force a split — don’t collapse meanings). -
Referenced doc missing
commitments.rspoints atdocs/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.

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_statsbehindbet_end_ledger/ opening, or - documenting explicitly that storage/RPC still leaks and events-only consumers are the only audience.
- gating
-
Opening with zero salt fallback
_open_pool_commitmentuses[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. -
Huge unrelated churn
types.rs(−2615) and especiallytests/security.rs(−7953 / +2181) make review extremely hard and raise “accidental behavior change” risk. Split:- PR A:
DataKeysplit / storage namespace (mechanical) - PR B: pool commitments feature + focused tests
- Avoid rewriting unrelated security tests unless required to compile.
- PR A:
Medium / nits
- Confirm
AlreadyRevealed/InvalidRevealWindoware stable public codes and covered in bindings if the frontend uses them. - Add a golden test that recomputes
sha256(preimage)from a published opening and matches the last("pool","commit")event (end-to-end verifier). - 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 --libgreen on this branch - Error codes restored / not overloaded
-
docs/POOL_COMMITMENTS.mdadded (or refs removed) - Diff slimmed or split; no silent security-test rewrites
- Optional: fail-closed on missing salt; clarify pool-stats policy
