What

Fix the ciphernode and CRISP failures found during the Sepolia E2E rehearsal.

  • Stop retries for unchanged permanent committee-publication errors.
  • Restore failure watches for all supported lifecycle stages after restart.
  • Let non-committee nodes mark failures after the permissionless grace period.
  • Prevent duplicate committee events from increasing active_jobs.
  • Preserve indexed E3 and CRISP state during event replay.
  • Keep requested rounds visible while verified public-key bytes are pending.
  • Recover CRISP activation callbacks and synchronous compute-submission failures.
  • Poll pending rounds in the CRISP client.

This PR does not add large public-key transport, chunking, IPFS, or data availability. It does not change Solidity.

The PR uses [skip-line-limit] because the fix crosses the ciphernode, generic indexer, CRISP server, client, tests, and flow documentation.

Checklist

  • Verified at the smallest covering scope — pre-push completed pnpm lint, pnpm check:pnpm, pnpm check:license, pnpm check:committee, pnpm check:docs, pnpm check:addresses, pnpm check:invariants, and pnpm check:verifiers. The CRISP client passed pnpm exec tsc --noEmit. An earlier targeted Rust cargo check covered e3-evm, e3-sortition, e3-indexer, and e3-ciphernode-builder. The local machine could not complete the final Rust test suite, so CI must run it.
  • Harness docs — the matching DKG, failure, and recovery flow traces are updated.
  • Invariants — the diff preserves committee order, proof bindings, replay identity, and durable recovery requirements.
  • Known bugs table — the active-job and recovery entries are updated in agent/flow-trace/00_INDEX.md.
  • Breaking? — no.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change expands restart-safe failure monitoring, classifies permanent committee-publication errors, makes committee and CRISP records replay-safe, and coordinates CRISP round activation with verified public-key data. The client retries unavailable round state and reports encryption-key preparation.

Changes

Protocol recovery and replay handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure contracts and terminal publication errors
crates/evm/src/contracts.rs, crates/evm/src/ciphernode_registry/..., agent/flow-trace/04_DKG_AND_COMPUTATION.md, agent/flow-trace/06_DEACTIVATION_AND_COMPLETION.md
The EVM interfaces expose timeout, committee, and validation data. Committee publication and failure-settlement errors now stop retries when they represent permanent failures.
Recovery state and event wiring
crates/ciphernode-builder/src/ciphernode_builder.rs, crates/evm/src/interfold_writing/actor.rs
Startup recovery passes lifecycle stages, request registries, and pending settlements to InterfoldSolWriter, which stores the state and subscribes to DKG fold context events.
Multi-stage failure-watch scheduling
crates/evm/src/interfold_writing/effects.rs, crates/evm/src/interfold_writing/handlers.rs, crates/evm/src/interfold_writing/workflow.rs, agent/flow-trace/05_FAILURE_REFUND_SLASHING.md, agent/flow-trace/00_INDEX.md
Failure watches now cover Requested, CommitteeFinalized, KeyPublished, and CiphertextReady. The writer uses stage-specific deadlines, party-ID staggering, permissionless grace periods, generation checks, and recovered durable state.
Replay-safe committee indexing and counters
crates/indexer/src/..., crates/sortition/src/sortition/..., agent/flow-trace/00_INDEX.md
Committee and E3 records preserve the first publication. Duplicate and conflicting replays no longer overwrite records or increment active_jobs again. Tests cover both replay types.

CRISP lifecycle and client state

Layer / File(s) Summary
CRISP repository state transitions
examples/CRISP/server/src/server/repo.rs, examples/CRISP/server/src/server/models.rs
The repository distinguishes request records from indexed public-key records and uses atomic round and computation lifecycle transitions. Existing records remain unchanged during replayed initialization.
Verified-key activation and restart handling
examples/CRISP/server/src/server/indexer.rs, examples/CRISP/crates/evm_helpers/src/lib.rs, agent/flow-trace/04_DKG_AND_COMPUTATION.md
The indexer activates rounds only when required records exist, makes Merkle-root posting idempotent, restores deadline callbacks on startup, and releases failed computation claims for retry.
Pending round state in the client
examples/CRISP/client/src/context/voteManagement/VoteManagement.context.tsx, examples/CRISP/client/src/hooks/..., examples/CRISP/client/src/pages/Landing/components/DailyPoll.tsx
The client suppresses missing-state 404 errors, polls pending rounds every 10 seconds, and displays an encryption-key preparation message when no round state is available yet.
Verified public-key state messaging
examples/CRISP/server/src/server/routes/state.rs
Server messages and logs now distinguish an on-chain key commitment from available verified public-key bytes. Unauthenticated failure callbacks do not update durable state.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fa7b2

The recovery changes can still trigger duplicate on-chain failure transactions, replay completed lifecycle work, or resubmit a computation after a crash following acceptance. These behaviors could waste gas or cause duplicate processing, so explicit owner follow-up is needed before merging.

including CrispE3Repository::new and subsequent fallible operations such as
get_status, to handle each round’s errors locally: log the failing e3_id with
relevant error details and continue processing remaining round_ids, while
allowing crisp_indexer.listen() to proceed.

In `@examples/CRISP/server/src/server/routes/state.rs`:
- Around line 319-323: Update the Err/None handling around
get_web_result_request in the state route so storage and deserialization errors
are logged as failures, while only the None result is logged as missing verified
public-key bytes and skipped. Preserve propagation of the underlying error and
the existing handling for successful results.

808-808: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make run_compute submission restart-safe.

restore_round_deadline_callback changes durable Computing state to Expired, allowing handle_e3_input_deadline_expiration to call run_compute again. The /run_compute handler starts a new background job for every request and has no E3-ID deduplication or durable job record. A crash before mark_compute_submitted() may therefore execute the one-shot computation twice. Add durable idempotency keyed by the complete compute domain.
