feat: add transaction and address monitoring with real-time updates

[pranavkonde]

Transaction Monitoring & Alerts Feature

Overview

Implemented a comprehensive transaction and address monitoring system for the rsk-cli tool, allowing users to track transactions and address changes in real-time.

Features Added

Transaction Monitoring

• Monitor specific transactions by hash with real-time status updates
• Track transaction confirmations and finality
• Automatic session termination when required confirmations are reached
• Support for custom confirmation thresholds (default: 12)

Address Monitoring

• Monitor address balance changes
• Real-time balance updates with polling
• Support for transaction history monitoring (placeholder for future implementation)

Session Management

• Persistent monitoring sessions with JSON state storage
• Session listing and management commands
• Automatic session cleanup on errors
• Unique session IDs for tracking

Error Handling & Validation

• Comprehensive input validation for addresses and transaction hashes
• Network error handling with graceful degradation
• Rate limiting detection and handling
• Automatic session termination on critical errors
• User-friendly error messages with actionable feedback

CLI Commands

Monitor Transaction

rsk-cli monitor --tx <txhash> --confirmations 12

Monitor Address

rsk-cli monitor --address <address> --balance
rsk-cli monitor --address <address> --transactions

Session Management

rsk-cli monitor --list                    # List active sessions
rsk-cli monitor --stop <sessionId>        # Stop specific session

Hi @pranavkonde!

Great to see so many contributions from you!

I haven’t fully reviewed the PR yet, but I’m sharing some feedback so you can start making adjustments in the meantime and we make the most of the time: regarding the monitor command with the --tx parameter, I suggest you instead update the tx command — which returns the status and additional info of a transaction — by adding a --monitor flag that keeps listening and eventually displays the confirmation or failure. That way, we can avoid using the --tx parameter in the monitor command.

Let me know if you need any help!

Thank you for the feedback! I've moved the transaction monitoring functionality command. The changes are now pushed to the feature branch. Let me know if any adjustments are needed after your review.

Hi @pranavkonde

Please update the README.md taking into account this new feature.

And another thing is that when the monitoring is completed, the command does not end (event with ctrl + c)

Please give it a look at how can it be finished effectively

Hello @chrisarevalo11

Thank you for the feedback! I've moved the transaction monitoring to tx --monitor, updated the README, and fixed the process termination issue. The changes are now pushed to the feature branch. Let me know if any adjustments are needed!

Hello @pranavkonde , kindly follow the next comments.

1. We have done a big enhancement on the CLI modules in order to make them available to interact with external sources (MCP server integration) and now your PR presents conflicts with it, please go ahead and align your feature with this new requirement
2. Your new monitor module needs to be also compatible and following the same structure as the other modules (e.g wallet, transfer, etc).

We'll definitely keep this in mind when it comes time to reward you.

Hello @scguaquetam

I have made all the suggested changes, Kindly Review it, and let me know, Thanks

@pranavkonde , I dont see you adjusted your PR to the new structure of our CLI, I can still see the function parameters are not grouped, also , take as reference https://github.com/rsksmart/rsk-cli/blob/main/src/commands/wallet.ts "wallet" module, where we have a logs and spinner specific handling, which I cannot see in your PR, please change it accordingly.

Hello @pranavkonde I see it much better, thanks, just 2 things.

1. Please check the problems that Code scanning / CodeQL is reporting in your PR.
2. Please take a look on the spinner management we also do in our modules, follow for example the Balance module where we handle the spinners by using startSpinner(), stopSpinner(), and succeedSpinner().

Please let us know any question you have.

Thank you for the feedback! I've addressed both points.

@pranavkonde the use of console.logs on this class could affect external interactions, please configure here also, the same as you implemented log management on the monitor command, for avoiding console.log on external interactions

[scguaquetam]

I see CodeQL requests haven't been fixed yet , can you take a look? I tagged you on the comments.

• Please check there is a conflict now on the Package.json (we did an update today).
• I can still see console.logs on the MonitorManger.ts file, please take a look on the comment I put there, use the log management as you did on the monitor module.

I have addressed the CodeQL requests, updated the logging in MonitorManager.ts to align with the monitor module, and resolved the Package.json conflict. Please review at your convenience.

@pranavkonde Please review comments I made, you are not correctly implementing the requested settings on spinner and log functions, also it seems like you are not implementing the monitor functionality inside the TX module.
