Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Builds on #5521 (merged). #5521 added dash-core-proof, which verifies Dash Core quorum proof chains (DIP 175, getquorumproofchain). This PR adds a context provider that uses it.

SDK clients without SPV, such as browsers (wasm-sdk / evo-sdk) and Rust clients without Core, take Platform quorum public keys from the HTTP quorum service on trust. This PR adds the Rust provider that proves those keys from a checkpoint built into the SDK, so the relay that serves the proof does not need to be trusted. Rust SDK clients can opt in now. The wasm-sdk / evo-sdk factories that let browsers opt in are the next PR in this series, kept separate so the binding layer gets its own review.

What was done?

New VerifiedHttpContextProvider in rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider. It is opt-in: no default changes, and rs-sdk, rs-context-provider and rs-drive-proof-verifier are untouched. Apps install it with SdkBuilder::with_context_provider.

  • Keys only from proofs. On a cache miss the SDK calls the fetch_quorum_public_key hook added in fix(sdk)!: fetch missing quorum keys instead of banning every node #5313. The provider then POSTs to a relay's /proofs (quorum-list-server), runs bootstrap::verify from its newest verified state, and requires exactly one opened commitment of the requested type and hash.
    • A proven key is never replaced.
    • Height rule. The key is served for a response's Core height H only if the quorum's verified targets cover it: lo ≤ H ≤ hi + 24. Here lo and hi are the lowest and highest verified targets whose quorum root opened the quorum, and 24 is one DKG interval of the Platform quorum types.
      • A served key therefore shows the quorum was mined by H, and was active at some height in [H − 24, H]. A target above H is never evidence for H; it is kept, but the provider asks again lower.
      • The 24-block grace matches Drive. validator_set_update_v2 rotates the validator set only at the end of the block whose Core height first drops the current quorum, so that block is still signed by a quorum Core has just rotated out.
    • Asks. The relay's height is a minimum, so asking for H normally returns a target at exactly H. If the answer lands above H, the next ask is for H − 24. Once the quorum has evidence at or below H, heights past the grace ask for the relay's tip, so a proof is needed about once per 24 Core blocks per quorum in use.
  • Relay failures never ban DAPI nodes. Every failure, including timeouts, HTTP errors, oversized or corrupt bodies, proofs that fail or don't open the quorum, and cooldowns, is reported as QuorumSourceUnavailable. That variant skips the node instead of banning it.
    • The hook never returns Ok(None). A proof can show a quorum is present but cannot show it is absent, and treating a relay's "not found" as authoritative would let a lying relay get honest nodes banned.
    • A response for a non-Platform quorum type, or a height above i32::MAX, is still rejected as an invalid proof.
  • Bounded work under bad input. Response heights and quorum hashes come from unverified responses, so the provider bounds what they can cost:
    • Fetches. One fetch per quorum at a time, and at most two quorums with requests to a relay at once. A fetch gives up its place while it waits out a backoff.
    • Time and requests. A 70 s deadline per fetch, 65 s per request, 5 s to connect, a hedged second request after 5 s, and at most 8 requests per fetch.
    • Relay cooldowns. A relay that fails cools down for 10 s, doubling up to 120 s.
      • A 503 (the relay is busy) is retried with backoff instead.
      • A relay that can serve neither the requested height nor its tip is dropped from that fetch only, so a made-up quorum costs about two requests per relay.
    • Quorum cooldowns. A quorum whose fetch fails is not tried again for 5 s, doubling up to 60 s.
    • Choice of checkpoint. Each request starts from the newest verified state below the requested height, so proofs stay short. Once a later state is verified, the provider never goes back to the embedded checkpoint.
  • Transports.
    • Native: reqwest with redirects off and the crate's existing per-target TLS settings. The client is built without panicking and without a DNS lookup.
    • Browser: fetch with redirect: "error", no-store and no credentials, with an abort on the deadline. The body is streamed and capped at 1 MiB.
    • The wasm dependency tree gains only js-sys, web-sys and wasm-streams 0.5, and no hyper, rustls, tower or mio.
  • Embedded checkpoints: mainnet 2,550,000 and testnet 1,560,000, in the JSON format Core's RPC uses. Each block hash matches two Core nodes and Insight. tests/checkpoints.rs checks that the raw header hashes to each block hash, that the coinbase is in the header's Merkle root, and that the coinbase commits to both roots. The README describes how to refresh them, and long-lived apps can save latest_verified_state() and pass it back as their checkpoint.
  • Docker: wasm-sdk now pulls in dash-core-proof, and with it rs-x11-hash, whose build script archives its wasm32 object with llvm-ar by name. Alpine keeps that tool in /usr/lib/llvm*/bin, so the Dockerfile links it onto PATH.
  • Refactor: the system-contract lookup moves out of TrustedHttpContextProvider into system_contracts.rs, so both providers share it. This is a pure move, done in its own commit.

Mainnet note: public mainnet /proofs currently returns 403 from CloudFront. Until the distribution allows POST /proofs, new(Mainnet) builds but each fetch reports the source as unavailable. Testnet's public relay works.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • 111 unit tests against a mock relay (a local TcpListener, so no network), using real getquorumproofchain results from feat(sdk): verify Core quorum proof chains (DIP 175) #5521's fixtures. They cover:
    • real proofs and the exact request body on both networks;
    • the height rule:
      • two real testnet targets that open the same quorum serve from the lower target up to 24 past the higher one, and the next height asks for the tip;
      • nothing below the lowest target is served;
      • a target above the requested height is not served and leads to an ask 24 lower;
      • a lowered-ask target below the height serves it, which is the rotation-block case;
    • single-flight (16 concurrent misses send one request);
    • hangs, refused connections, and quorum and relay cooldowns;
    • 502 followed by a request for the relay's tip, 503 retried, 504 cooling the relay down;
    • made-up quorums costing two requests per relay, and a made-up height not holding back an honest one;
    • a lagging relay dropped while another proves;
    • hedging past a hung relay;
    • oversized bodies (by Content-Length and chunked), flipped bytes, and a proof of another quorum;
    • a 302 not followed;
    • the two-quorum limit, including fetches resuming after a backoff and fetches whose callers dropped;
    • slot-table eviction, keeping the first key, and only ever widening a quorum's proven heights;
    • source URL and checkpoint rules;
    • no HTML or invisible characters in error text.
  • tests/checkpoints.rs checks the provenance of both embedded checkpoints.
  • Run locally:
    • clippy with -D warnings, with and without --all-features;
    • the tests three times in each feature set;
    • a wasm32 check with all features, plus the wasm dependency-tree check;
    • cargo check -p dash-sdk -p wasm-sdk --all-targets.
  • Live check at 7433964e (not committed), on testnet through the public relay from the embedded checkpoint, for two active Platform quorums (one new, one ten rotations old). Every key matched the quorum service's key.
    • A historical height (base + 30) was proven in 0.9–1.4 s.
    • The same height again was answered from cache.
    • Near the tip, 25 blocks past the proven target, it was proven again from the newer state in about 0.13 s.
    • One block below the lowest target, it was not served from cache, and was proven in 0.5–0.75 s.
  • Earlier live check (before the height rule changed in 22220b8d), comparing each key with Core's quorum info:
    • Testnet, through the public relay from the embedded checkpoint: matched, in 1.3–1.6 s cold and 0.26 s warm.
    • Mainnet, through a self-hosted relay: matched, in 0.4–2.2 s.
    • A second lookup at the same height was answered from cache in under 1 µs.
    • Public mainnet failed in under 300 ms with QuorumSourceUnavailable(... HTTP 403 ...).
  • Browser: 6 wasm-bindgen-test tests cover the fetch transport (request options, redirects refused, streamed and oversized bodies, the abort at the deadline) and a caller's deadline. They pass locally under Node with CARGO_TARGET_WASM32_UNKNOWN_UNKNOWN_RUNNER=wasm-bindgen-test-runner cargo test --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider --lib. CI has no wasm32 test job for this crate yet; that is tracked in feat(sdk): let wasm-sdk and evo-sdk opt into the verified quorum context provider #5652.
  • CI: the crate's native tests were never run in CI, because the nextest package list didn't name the crate. This PR adds it.

Breaking Changes

None. The new provider is opt-in, and the moved system-contract lookup behaves as before.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review a9e88

The new verified provider is opt-in and leaves default SDK behavior unchanged. A relay listed twice with and without a trailing slash is treated as two sources, which weakens the intended relay diversity. Browser transport tests currently run only locally. Neither issue blocks merging, but both are worth a small follow-up.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The provider preserves proof authentication, but its fetch scheduler has two availability gaps and a native cancellation ownership cycle that retains resources after the provider is dropped. Browser transport tests and two smaller maintainability improvements remain actionable. This was a static review: current CI checks, including Kotlin SDK build/tests, pass, but the check listing provides no dedicated Rust-provider or browser-runtime validation result.

In `packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:492-499: Break the strong-reference cycle in running proof fetches
  `start()` moves an `Arc<ProofFetches>` into the shared future, and this insertion stores a strong clone of that future inside the same `ProofFetches`. On native targets, cancelling every waiter while the fetch is pending leaves the cycle `ProofFetches -> Slot::Running.fetch -> captured Arc<ProofFetches>`. The future is no longer polled, so neither its deadline nor `finish()` releases the slot. `abandoned()` only excludes it from the proving-place count; cleanup requires another lookup. Dropping all provider handles without another lookup therefore permanently retains the proof caches, HTTP client and suspended request state, and repeated provider creation/cancellation accumulates those resources. Store a weak shared-future reference in the slot, or otherwise break the cycle while preserving the browser task's independent lifetime. Add a native cancellation regression that drops every waiter and provider handle and checks through `Arc::downgrade` that the fetch state is released without another lookup.
- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:428-435: An in-flight bogus height blocks honest fetches for the same quorum
  The requested height comes from an unverified DAPI response, and `provable()` permits heights through `i32::MAX`. While a fetch for that height remains live, this branch immediately rejects an overlapping lookup for the same quorum at an honest height more than one validity window away, even when a proving place is free. A malicious DAPI response can therefore start a fetch at `i32::MAX` and hold concurrent honest lookups behind its relay retries or timeout budget. Provider clones share this state, so switching DAPI nodes does not bypass the rejection. The existing bogus-height test awaits the bogus fetch's completion before starting the honest one and does not cover this overlap. Allow independently bounded work for non-overlapping heights, or cancel/supersede the incompatible fetch safely, and add a concurrent bogus-height/honest-height regression.
- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:464-477: Waiting backoff fetches can exhaust the fetch-slot table
  Fetches release their proving place while waiting for a backoff, but remain `Slot::Running` entries in `proven.fetches`. With enough concurrent SDK requests receiving distinct unverified quorum hashes, retryable responses such as HTTP 503 can leave all 64 slots occupied by live, waiting fetches. `places_taken()` then allows another fetch to start, but this eviction loop finds no `Slot::Failed` entry and rejects the new honest quorum despite free proving capacity. HTTP 503 does not cool the source down globally, so additional waiting entries can accumulate while earlier ones back off. The lockout lasts until existing fetches finish their request/deadline budgets. Provide a safe cancellation/eviction path for waiting entries, or separate waiting admission from the remembered-slot limit. Extend the slot-table test to fill it with live backoff fetches rather than only failed entries.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:955-960: Keep commitment-prefix decoding in dash-core-proof
  `names()` independently interprets the serialized commitment's type at byte 2 and hash at bytes 3..35, duplicating layout knowledge owned by `dash-core-proof::parse_commitment()` in `rs-core-proof/src/transaction.rs`. Selecting the requested record belongs in this provider, but interpreting the commitment's binary prefix should have one owner. Expose a small prefix-identification helper from dash-core-proof and use it here, or remove the special malformed-record diagnostic if it is unnecessary. This is a maintainability issue rather than a proof-acceptance bypass: publishing still requires a successfully parsed matching commitment, and both malformed-record and missing-record cases currently return `CannotServe`.

In `packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_transport.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_transport.rs:162-183: Add runtime coverage for the browser proof transport
  The new browser transport has no runtime tests for redirect refusal, request options, AbortController wiring, streamed-body conversion or abort-on-timeout/drop. Native `read_capped()` tests cover the shared size accumulator, but cannot exercise these browser-specific boundaries. The PR description confirms that only compilation was checked and that the unconditional `tokio` dev-dependency's `rt-multi-thread` feature currently prevents wasm test builds. Target-gate native test dependencies and add browser tests with a mocked global fetch/ReadableStream, or link a concrete tracking issue or bindings PR covering these cases; the unlinked statement that a future bindings PR will exercise them is not tracked coverage.
- [NITPICK] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_transport.rs:138-149: Reuse the existing error-chain formatting helper
  `with_causes()` duplicates the existing implementation in `provider.rs` verbatim. Share one private helper between the trusted and verified transports so changes to error-chain formatting do not need to be maintained in two places.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The provider still has two blocking concurrency/resource defects: a lagged proof can be joined by a higher-height request that the proof cannot satisfy, and live backoff fetches are unbounded despite the two-place request limit. A successful proof can also be lost to LRU eviction before its waiter performs the follow-up lookup, and the new provider tests are not selected by the workspace CI job. Kotlin and policy checks remain pending on this head.

🟡 Suggestion: Run this crate's tests in CI, natively and for wasm32
.github/workflows/tests-rs-workspace.yml:446-483

The non-shielded nextest command explicitly selects packages but does not include rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider; adding dash-core-proof to the list does not select this crate's tests. Consequently, the provider's new native tests are compiled as dependencies but not executed by this workspace job. The browser tests also have no CI runner in the reviewed workflow. Wire the crate into the native package list and add an appropriate wasm32 browser-test job so the fetch bounding and transport regressions are enforced in CI.

- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:384-392: A lagged proof can make a joined higher-height lookup fail
  Joining is based on the requested heights, but `judge()` accepts any authenticated target at least `height - window` and publishes that target as `active_at`. If a fetch requested for height H receives a valid target at H - window, a concurrent request for H + window is considered near enough to join it. After the shared future completes, the cached evidence only covers through H, so the higher-height caller's `lookup()` fails and `fetch()` returns an error without starting a replacement proof. Join only when the result is guaranteed to cover the caller's height, or retry with a new fetch when the post-join lookup is unavailable; add a regression using a target at the lower allowed boundary.
- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:418-506: Bound live waiting fetches independently of remembered failures
  The 64-entry limit now applies only to `Slot::Failed`, but `join_or_start()` can retain an arbitrary number of live `Slot::Running` entries. Each fetch releases its `holding` flag while waiting for a place or relay backoff, allowing another distinct quorum hash to start; the running slot remains in `proven.fetches` for up to the 70-second deadline. Native callers can keep those futures pending, and browser callers additionally spawn local tasks that continue after their callers drop. Thus the two-place limit bounds simultaneous requests, not the number of waiting fetch state, source arrays, timers, and browser tasks. Add bounded admission or cancellation/eviction for live waiting fetches, ensuring an evicted fetch cannot later issue a request.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:387-392: Return the proven key directly instead of relying on a later cache lookup
  The shared fetch future returns only `Result<(), String>`, so every waiter discards the key and performs a separate LRU lookup after awaiting. With a permitted `cache_size` of one, another concurrent successful fetch can insert a different key and evict this key between the future completing and `self.lookup()`. The proof then succeeded but the waiter reports `QuorumSourceUnavailable`, causing avoidable retries or failover. Return the proven key in the shared result, or otherwise retain the successful result independently of the evictable cache.
- [NITPICK] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:1293-1299: Avoid a vacuous pass in the abandoned-fetch regression test
  The test returns early when `checked_sub(Duration::from_secs(11))` returns `None`. In a test, that makes the regression silently pass without checking cooldown preservation. Use a loud invariant failure instead of an early return, so the test cannot become a vacuous pass.

In `.github/workflows/tests-rs-workspace.yml`:
- [SUGGESTION] .github/workflows/tests-rs-workspace.yml:446-483: Run this crate's tests in CI, natively and for wasm32
  The non-shielded nextest command explicitly selects packages but does not include `rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider`; adding `dash-core-proof` to the list does not select this crate's tests. Consequently, the provider's new native tests are compiled as dependencies but not executed by this workspace job. The browser tests also have no CI runner in the reviewed workflow. Wire the crate into the native package list and add an appropriate wasm32 browser-test job so the fetch bounding and transport regressions are enforced in CI.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The verified provider correctly delegates proof validation and bounds most relay work, but a failed lower-height fetch can still suppress an independent higher-height proof and leave that quorum in cooldown. The provider also has a cache-eviction integration window during the SDK's second verification, browser deadline timers that outlive completed waiters, and native/wasm tests that are not selected by CI.

- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:413-414: Retry independently when a joined lower-height fetch fails
  A request for height H may join a running fetch for the same quorum at a nearby lower height. If that shared fetch fails, `proven.map_err(unavailable)?` returns immediately, so the H caller never starts its own fetch. The failed lower attempt is then stored as `Slot::Failed`, and subsequent requests for H can be held by the lower-height cooldown because `join_or_start_for` considers failures within the full validity window applicable. Since quorum hashes and heights originate in unverified DAPI responses, an attacker or unreliable relay can induce a lower-height failure while a valid proof for H is available independently. After a non-covering joined fetch fails, start the caller's own fetch under the same overall deadline, and ensure the lower failure does not suppress admission for the higher height.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:413: Cancel browser caller-deadline tasks when a shared fetch completes
  On wasm32, `caller_sleep` resolves through `quorum_refresh::sleep`, which spawns a local task containing the timer and returns only a oneshot receiver. When the shared fetch completes first, the receiver is dropped but the spawned timer task continues until the full remaining deadline. Every waiter on a shared fetch creates another such task, and the running-fetch bound does not bound the number of waiters, so fast proofs with many concurrent misses can accumulate browser timer tasks for up to roughly 70 seconds. Use a cancelable timer bridge or share one deadline task among waiters.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The provider has strong proof, transport, and concurrency hardening, but two blocking correctness issues remain. The wasm caller deadline never resolves when the timer fires, and the verifier can accept a proof target newer than the requested historical height; the SDK also still has an eviction race during its second verification, while the new tests are not executed by CI.

verify_fetching_quorum_key matches Ok(Some(_)), discards the key returned by the verified provider, and then verifies the response again through the original ContextProvider. That second verification performs a fresh lookup in the provider's evictable LRU cache. With the permitted cache size of one, a concurrent successful fetch for another quorum can evict the just-proven key between these operations, causing a valid proof to become QuorumSourceUnavailable. Thread the fetched key into the second verification or otherwise pin it independently of the cache until verification completes.

- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:1157-1166: Make the wasm caller deadline future complete when the timer fires
  On wasm32, `caller_sleep` awaits `done`, but the spawned timer task sends on `fired`; no code ever sends on `done`. Therefore the deadline branch of the `select` at line 415 can never win for browser callers. A caller that joins or waits on a proof fetch can exceed the documented 70-second bound and can start additional work after its deadline, defeating the bounded-work guarantee.
- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/proof_fetches.rs:907-945: Do not accept a future proof target for a historical quorum lookup
  `bootstrap::verify` only requires the authenticated target to be at or above `height - window`. `judge` never rejects a verified target whose height is greater than the requested `height`, including the tip fallback (`ask.height == 0`). `publish` then records that future target as `active_at`, allowing the key to be served for the historical request and subsequent heights even though the proof only establishes that the quorum commitment existed in the later state. Since the quorum hash and requested height originate in unverified DAPI data, a later state containing the same commitment does not prove that it was active at the requested historical height. Reject or otherwise explicitly handle targets above the requested height before publishing historical evidence.

The system data contract lookup and the Platform activation heights are
moved verbatim from TrustedHttpContextProvider into a crate-private
system_contracts module, so a second context provider in this crate can
serve the same contracts without wrapping the trusted one. Behaviour of
TrustedHttpContextProvider is unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
TrustedHttpContextProvider takes Platform quorum keys from an HTTP
service on trust. VerifiedHttpContextProvider instead proves each key
with a Core quorum proof chain (DIP 175) from a checkpoint, using
dash-core-proof, and treats the quorum service as an untrusted relay.
Applications opt in through SdkBuilder::with_context_provider; nothing
changes by default.

- Embedded mainnet (2,550,000) and testnet (1,560,000) checkpoints, or
  an application-supplied one; a test recomputes each embedded
  checkpoint from its block header, coinbase and Merkle branch.
- Keys are cached per quorum and served for 600 blocks past the target
  that proved them; past that the quorum is proven again from the
  newest verified state.
- Every fetch failure is QuorumSourceUnavailable, never Ok(None): an
  inclusion proof cannot show absence, so a relay must not be able to
  get honest nodes banned.
- Fetches are shared per quorum, at most two quorums are proven at
  once, failed quorums and failing sources cool down, a fetch has a
  70 s deadline and at most 8 requests, redirects are refused and
  bodies are capped at 1 MiB. A failure tied to an unverified height
  only affects requests near that height.
- Browsers fetch through web_sys with redirect "error", no-store and
  omitted credentials, abort on deadline or drop, and stream the body
  through wasm-streams; the wasm32 tree stays free of
  hyper/rustls/tower/mio.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review of the verified provider found ways unverified input or normal
relay load could make it unavailable without affecting soundness:

- A fake quorum cost up to 8 requests and ~39 s of retries while
  holding one of the two proving places. A source that cannot serve the
  quorum for both the height and the tip is now left out of the fetch,
  so a fake quorum costs two requests per source, and a fetch only
  waiting out a backoff does not hold a place.
- Fast failures could fill the 64-entry slot table and lock new quorums
  out. The oldest failure is now evicted, and a fetch that sent nothing
  (every source cooling down) records no failure.
- One lagging or lying relay whose tip proof falls short ended the
  whole fetch; now only that relay is left out.
- A 503 means the relay's workers are busy, normal under load: it is
  retried with backoff instead of cooling the relay down.
- Every hedge counted as cut short by the deadline, so refused or
  failed connections never cooled their source; now only a request
  whose shortened timer fired is.
- On wasm32 a fetch keeps running on the local executor after its
  waiters leave, so it is no longer replaced as abandoned.
- Error bodies that look like markup are left out of reasons, a state
  conflict is checked before a key is cached, and the height asked next
  follows the answer that just came back.

Explain how a checkpoint ages and why long-lived applications should
persist the latest verified state, what happens to unproven quorums if
Platform halts, the cache size that avoids re-proving, and describe both
providers in the README's implementation details.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The two-quorum limit was only checked when a fetch started, so fetches
waiting out a relay's backoff let new ones start and then all sent
again together. A fetch now holds one of two places only while it has
requests to send: it gives the place up while it waits and must take
one again before asking a relay, waiting within its deadline if none is
free.

Also:
- a fetch that sent nothing keeps the quorum's earlier failure count
  instead of resetting its cooldown;
- failure reasons say when every source is cooling down or out of the
  fetch, and when the request budget is spent;
- waits are at least 1 ms, since browser timers round shorter ones to
  zero.

Tests cover a lagging relay left out while another proves the key, a
refused hedge near the deadline cooling its source while the request
the deadline cut short does not, and fetches giving up and retaking
their place.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A native fetch whose callers all dropped is never polled again, but it
kept counting toward the two places for proving quorums until a later
start pruned its slot. A fetch resuming after a backoff could then wait
out its whole deadline and have its quorum's cooldown doubled. Fetches
that no longer run are now left out of the count.

A fetch that runs out of time while other quorums hold the places no
longer counts as a failure of its quorum, and failure reasons drop
invisible formatting characters such as bidirectional overrides.

Tests cover a fetch waiting for a place after a 503 while two others
hold them (never more than two requests open at the relay), an
abandoned fetch freeing its place, and a fetch that sent nothing
keeping its quorum's earlier failures.

dash-core-proof now exposes Error::kind(), so the verified provider no
longer compares the verifier's message text to recognise a stale target.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review of the verified provider found three ways it could leak or lock
out honest lookups:

- A running fetch's slot held a strong handle to the shared fetch,
  which holds the provider's state: if every caller left while a
  request was pending, the state, its caches and the HTTP client were
  never freed. Slots now hold a weak handle. Natively a fetch lives
  only while callers poll it; in a browser a local task drives it to
  its deadline.
- A fetch at a bogus, unverified height turned away honest lookups of
  the same quorum at heights more than a window away. Fetches are now
  kept per quorum and height: a far height runs its own fetch, subject
  to the two proving places, while near heights still share one.
- Fetches waiting out a backoff stayed in the 64-entry table, so live
  waiting fetches could fill it and reject an honest quorum. The limit
  now applies only to remembered failures, oldest forgotten first;
  running fetches are bounded by their callers.

Also: records that fail to parse are skipped without reading their
bytes here, both providers share one error-cause helper, and the
browser transport has wasm-bindgen tests (request options, streamed
body, unbounded and over-declared bodies, abort at the deadline) that
run under Node.js; tokio is a native-only dev-dependency.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A fetch took over the earlier failures near its height when it
started. If every caller then left, natively the fetch was dropped
without finishing and the failures were gone, so the quorum's cooldown
started over. The failures now stay until the fetch ends, whose outcome
then replaces them.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A fetch for height H may prove any target at or above H minus the
validity window, which covers heights only up to H. A caller at a
higher height that joined it could find its own height uncovered and
fail without asking again. A caller now joins a fetch sure to cover its
height, or waits for one at a lower height near its own and, if what it
proved does not cover, starts a fetch of its own, once.

Waiting fetches give their proving place up, so fetches of distinct
fake quorums could pile up with their timers and, in browsers, local
tasks. At most 16 fetches run at once; past that new quorums are
refused at once, while running fetches can still be joined.

A fetch now hands its waiters the key it proved and the height that
covers, instead of each re-reading a cache a small cache size may
already have evicted it from.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A caller that waited on a fetch for a lower height and then started its
own could wait two fetch deadlines. Each caller now has one 70 s
deadline across both, after which it reports the source unavailable.

A relay answering 503 is not cooled down, so a fetch against one that
503s everything stayed running, and held one of the 16 running slots,
until its deadline. A fetch now stops asking a relay after three busy
answers in a row; other fetches still ask it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A caller that joined a fetch for a lower height returned that fetch's
failure without asking for its own height, and the lower failure then
held back later requests for every height within a window of it. Since
heights come from unverified responses, a lower fetch made to fail
could suppress an honest higher one. The caller now starts its own
fetch once after a lower fetch fails, as after one that proved too
little, within the same deadline; and a failure holds back only the
heights its fetch would have covered.

In browsers, the timer bounding a caller's wait ran in a local task to
its full length even after the fetch finished, one per caller. It now
ends, clearing the browser timer, as soon as the caller stops waiting.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A failed fetch replaces the failures that covered its height. When a
fetch for a lower height failed, the failure it recorded covered only
heights up to its own, so the higher failure's cooldown was lost and
heights between the two were admitted with no backoff. The recorded
failure now keeps the highest height it replaced.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The browser timer that bounds a caller's wait was reported as never
firing. It does fire: its local task sends on the sender of the channel
whose receiver the caller awaits. Two wasm-bindgen tests now pin it
down: the timer wakes a caller racing a future that never resolves
(against a fallback browser timer, so a broken deadline fails rather
than leaves the test pending), and a fetch whose relay never answers
ends as an unavailable source.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A verified target above the requested Core height, such as a tip proof,
was accepted as evidence for that height, and a key was served for 600
blocks past the target that proved it. A quorum in the quorum root at a
later target may have been mined after the height, so that proved
nothing about it.

Platform quorums (mainnet type 4, testnet type 6) do not rotate: the
active set at a height is the newest quorums mined by it, so a quorum
enters when mined and never returns once it leaves. A quorum opened under
the quorum roots of two verified targets was therefore active at every
height between them. The cache now keeps, per quorum, the lowest and
highest verified targets that opened it, and serves the key for a height
only inside that interval. The 600-block serving window is gone.

- With evidence at or below the height, the relay is asked for its tip
  (alternating with the height), which also covers the next heights.
- Otherwise the height itself is asked for, from a verified state below
  it, the checkpoint included. A valid target above the height is kept as
  evidence but counts as a refusal, and that source is asked next for a
  target up to one DKG interval (24 blocks) below the height.
- A target below the height asked for (or below the height, for a tip)
  is refused before any signature is checked.
- A caller waiting on another height's fetch starts its own once if the
  result does not bracket its height. A failed fetch now cools down only
  its own height, since proving another height asks for other targets.
- The mock relay in the tests ignores connections that close without a
  request, which made one test flaky.

…hest target

Drive moves off its validator quorum only at the end of the first block
whose Core height drops that quorum from the active set
(validator_set_update_v2 in rs-drive-abci's
block_end/validator_set_update/v2/mod.rs). That block reports a Core
height at which Core has just rotated its signing quorum out, so under
the strict lo <= H <= hi rule its responses could never be verified.

A key is now served for Core height H when lo <= H <= hi + 24, where 24
is one DKG interval of the Platform quorum types (DKG_INTERVAL_BLOCKS,
which also sets the lowered ask). That proves the quorum was mined by H
and active at some height in [H - 24, H]. A target above H is still
never evidence for H. A Core-height jump of more than 24 between two
Platform blocks leaves that one block unverifiable until the next one;
it is reported as an unavailable source, so no node is banned.

- One predicate, Cached::serves, decides every lookup, fetch result,
  joined result, ready path, next ask and verdict.
- The tip is asked for only once H is more than 24 past the highest
  target, and a tip below H - 24 is refused before any signature.
- Both ask paths alternate with a target at most 24 below H (kept above
  the starting state). Any such target that opens the quorum serves H by
  itself, including on the rotation block, where asking for H or the tip
  could only return targets the retired quorum is no longer in.
- A proof is needed about once per 24 Core blocks per quorum in use.

The verified context provider brings rs-x11-hash into the wasm-sdk build
through dash-core-proof. Its build script archives the wasm32 object with
`llvm-ar` by name, and Alpine installs that only under /usr/lib/llvm*/bin,
so the dashmate-helper image failed in `cargo chef cook`.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

Updated after discussion: 1 finding(s) of this review were settled in the inline threads; no blocking finding remains.

  • ⏭️ Deferred (maintainer decision): 🔴 Expose the verified provider to the browser SDK path (tracked in #5652)

The proof-fetch implementation now contains the reviewed height, lifetime, cancellation, and bounded-work fixes, and the Rust workspace check is passing. One blocking integration gap remains: browser/evo-sdk users still receive only the old trusted provider and cannot opt into the new proof-backed provider. The provider's native and wasm tests are also absent from CI, and the SDK still has an avoidable cache-eviction race during its second verification.

🔴 1 0 blocking | 🟡 2 suggestion(s)

2 finding(s) not shown inline (the lines are not part of this PR's diff)

🟡 Suggestion: Run this crate's tests in CI, natively and for wasm32
.github/workflows/tests-rs-workspace.yml:446-483

The explicit native nextest package list includes dash-core-proof but not rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider, so the provider's native tests are compiled as dependencies without being executed. The separate cargo test -p wasm-sdk --lib command does not execute dependency test targets, and there is no wasm32 CI job for the provider's browser-specific tests. The new fetch state machine and browser transport can therefore regress while the Rust workspace check remains green. Add the provider package to the native test phase and add a wasm-bindgen test job using the documented runner.

🟡 Suggestion: Keep the fetched key available through the SDK's second verification
packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/quorum_key.rs:93-96

This match binds the result as Ok(Some(_)) and discards the key returned by fetch_quorum_public_key, then calls maybe_from_proof_with_metadata again. That second verification performs a fresh synchronous get_quorum_public_key lookup. VerifiedHttpContextProvider permits a cache size of one, so another concurrent successful fetch can insert a different quorum between these operations and evict the key that was just proven. A valid proof then becomes QuorumSourceUnavailable, causing avoidable retries or failover. Carry the fetched key through the second verification or provide a pinned handoff that does not depend on a subsequent LRU lookup.

  The new provider exposes plain Rust constructors, but the browser-facing `packages/wasm-sdk/src/context_provider.rs` still imports and constructs `TrustedHttpContextProvider` for every `WasmTrustedContext` factory. `js-evo-sdk` calls those factories, and no wasm-bindgen wrapper or JavaScript factory exposes `VerifiedHttpContextProvider`. Consequently, the browser/evo-sdk users explicitly named in this PR cannot opt into proof-backed quorum keys and continue trusting the relay. Add a thin wasm wrapper and explicit verified factories, including checkpoint/source configuration, then wire the evo-sdk path to them without duplicating proof logic in the binding.

Run the provider's browser tests in CI.

The non-shielded nextest step runs rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider for the host target only. No workflow under .github runs the crate's wasm32-unknown-unknown tests. The PR description reports six browser transport tests that pass only in local runs. A regression in the browser transport would not fail CI.

Add a CI job that runs the crate's browser tests with the wasm test runner, using the command from the PR description:

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The final head adds a bounded, proof-backed quorum-key provider with the previously identified height, lifecycle, transport, and admission issues addressed. Two non-blocking issues remain: the SDK can discard a successfully fetched key before its second verification, and the checkpoint test does not independently pin the embedded trust-root identity. Rust workspace tests and Docker image checks were still in progress in the supplied CI snapshot.

🟡 Suggestion: Keep the fetched key available through the SDK's second verification
packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/quorum_key.rs:93-96

fetch.await returns the proven quorum key, but Ok(Some(_)) discards it before the SDK immediately verifies the response again through provider.get_quorum_public_key. VerifiedHttpContextProvider caches the key, yet its public API permits cache_size = 1; another concurrent successful fetch can insert a different quorum before this task resumes and evict the first key. The second verification then reports QuorumSourceUnavailable even though the proof fetch succeeded, causing avoidable retries or failover. Preserve the returned key through the second verification, or provide a verification path that can use the fetched key without relying on the evictable LRU entry.

Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (2)

These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.

  • Expose the verified provider to the browser SDK path — Browser and evo-sdk callers still cannot construct the proof-backed provider through wasm-sdk factories. This is a concrete follow-up, but the binding-layer wrapper and evo-sdk wiring are intentionally separated from this Rust-provider change and are tracked in platform issue #5652.
    • Follow-up: Implement the thin wasm-sdk wrapper, verified factories, checkpoint/source configuration, and evo-sdk wiring in #5652.
  • Run browser provider tests in CI — The provider's wasm32 runtime tests remain local-only even though native provider tests are now included in the workspace nextest phase. The missing wasm32 CI job is tracked with the browser binding work in platform issue #5652.
    • Follow-up: Add the wasm32 runtime job as part of #5652.
