Basic explanation

What this does: Every Platform response carries a proof signed by a group of masternodes (a quorum), and the SDK checks it with that quorum's public key. Browser SDKs fetch those keys once, when they connect. Once Platform starts signing with a newer quorum, every proof fails, and the SDK blames each node in turn and bans it until none is left. With this change, the SDK fetches the missing key from the trusted quorum service and checks the response it already has a second time. The fetch happens asynchronously inside the context provider, which already owns the key cache.

Value: Browser apps (evo-sdk, wasm-sdk) stop failing with "no available addresses" a few minutes after page load. Typed writes such as identityCreate stop reporting transitions that executed as failed. iOS and Android no longer block inside proof verification on an HTTP fetch, and no longer ban every node while the quorum service is down. On the sakura devnet, an SDK that is never rebuilt fails every read about 14 minutes after it is built.

Risks: Low to medium. There is no consensus impact; this is client side only.

  • A node is still banned when the trusted service, asked after its response arrived, does not list the quorum the node named, as before. When a quorum service drops a quorum that Platform still signs with (quorum-list-server#16), honest nodes can be banned on devnets, as native clients already are today.
  • A miss can add up to about 1 s of latency, plus the quorum service's response time.
  • Source-breaking API additions; see Breaking Changes.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Replaces #5286. That PR caught the failed proof at the request layer, refreshed the keys through a separate SdkBuilder hook, and sent the request again. It also stopped banning nodes for unknown quorums, which let any node avoid a ban by naming a random quorum hash.

ContextProvider::get_quorum_public_key is synchronous:

Making the whole provider and FromProof async isn't practical:

  • get_data_contract runs inside Drive's synchronous GroveDB verification.
  • 81 FromProof implementations would change.

This change keeps verification synchronous and adds one asynchronous step for the miss.

What was done?

Context provider (rs-context-provider, rs-drive-proof-verifier)

  • New defaulted method ContextProvider::fetch_quorum_public_key(type, hash, height) -> Option<QuorumKeyFuture>, returning None by default. It is forwarded through the Arc/Box<dyn> and Mutex<T> wrappers.
  • verify.rs reports a key the provider could not supply as Error::QuorumKeyUnavailable { quorum_type, quorum_hash, core_chain_locked_height, error }. Its Display keeps the provider's message, so callers that classify errors by text keep working.
  • New ContextProviderError::QuorumSourceUnavailable: the trusted source gave no answer.

Trusted provider (rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider, new quorum_refresh.rs)

  • On a miss, joins the refresh of both quorum lists that is already running, or starts one. Refresh starts are at least 1 s apart.
  • Every refresh gets a generation number, so a miss can tell whether a refresh started after the response that caused it.
  • Answers "absent" only from a refresh that started after the miss and fetched both lists. If the refresh it joined is older, the miss waits for a newer one. A failed list is never read as absent.
  • Refreshes run on a detached copy of the provider, so an abandoned refresh cannot keep the provider alive.
  • A panicking refresh becomes two failed lists.
  • On wasm32, the browser's fetch and timer run under spawn_local.
  • Quorum list requests time out after 5 s.
  • refresh_quorum_caches always starts a refresh and publishes it, so misses can join it.

SDK (rs-sdk, new sdk/quorum_key.rs)

  • Every Fetch, FetchMany and state-transition wait verifies through Sdk::verify_fetching_quorum_key. On QuorumKeyUnavailable it awaits the fetch and verifies the same response again, BLS check included. Nothing is sent again.
Trusted source says Result
Here is the key Result of the second verification
Absent The original retryable error, so the node is banned as before
No answer, or the provider loses the key it fetched QuorumSourceUnavailable: not retryable and no ban; sync::retry steps over the node for a flat 2 s and asks another
Provider can't fetch (None) Unchanged
  • The helper also checks the verified response is fresh (Sdk::accept_verified_metadata). A response checked again after a fetch is judged against the height mark from when it arrived, so responses other requests accepted while it waited cannot get an honest node banned as stale.
  • Fetch and FetchMany require Request::Response: Clone, so the response can be verified a second time.

Native FFI (rs-sdk-ffi)

  • dash_sdk_create_trusted builds its provider in one build_trusted_provider, with synchronous refetch off. The start-up prefetch goes through the shared refresh.
  • QuorumSourceUnavailable maps to NetworkError.

wasm-sdk

  • WasmTrustedContext forwards fetch_quorum_public_key.
  • QuorumSourceUnavailable is reported to JS as retriable.
  • The pre-broadcast quorum refresh is kept.

Blame for unusable trusted keys (follow-up commits)

  • A key the trusted source serves is decoded with the verifier's own BLS decoder. A malformed key is now QuorumSourceUnavailable, so no node is banned for it. That covers:
    • bad hex;
    • the wrong length;
    • an invalid point;
    • the identity point (c0 followed by 47 zero bytes).
  • If the key passes the fetch but is unusable on the second verification, the provider is blamed.
  • An unusable cached key no longer short-circuits a miss; the miss goes through the rate-limited refresh.
  • A repaired key from one list removes the stale entry for the same hash from the other cache.
  • A QuorumSourceUnavailable from a provider that only looks keys up synchronously is no longer retryable. The source-failure reason keeps the quorum type, hash and Core height.
  • An invalid signature under a valid key, and a quorum the trusted source authoritatively does not list, still ban the node.
  • The SDK records each response's arrival time and height. A response is judged by how fresh it was on arrival, so time the client spends fetching a key (asynchronously, or in the native provider's blocking refetch) doesn't make an honest node look stale.
  • When either fetched list has a usable key for the quorum, that key is used. A usable key is never evicted from the other cache, so two overlapping refreshes can't leave the key in neither cache.
  • In the FFI, QuorumSourceUnavailable maps to NetworkError both directly and inside the retry wrapper, including on typed writes that add context to the error.

How Has This Been Tested?

Every behaviour test was run against the unfixed code first and failed. Each commit message lists the tests that went from failing to passing.

  • rs-sdk/src/sdk/quorum_key.rs: replays the recorded epoch proof through a network SDK whose real trusted provider starts with an empty cache and talks to a local quorum service. Covers:

    • the key gets fetched and the proof verifies;
    • a forged signature is still rejected after the fetch;
    • a fake quorum gets the node banned;
    • an unreachable service, a malformed key, or a provider that forgets the key bans no node;
    • the fetch is asked for the proof's own quorum type, hash and height;
    • a response that waited for a key is judged as fresh as when it arrived, and one already stale on arrival is still rejected.
  • Broadcast wait, should_verify_the_buffered_broadcast_wait_after_fetching_its_quorum_key. It replays the signed identity-balance vector as a withdrawal's affected-state proof through the real wait call site, with banning on, in five cases:

    • after the key is fetched, the buffered response verifies with no resend;
    • the source is unavailable: no ban;
    • a forged signature: the node is banned;
    • source failover: only the brief 2 s exclusion;
    • a response already stale on arrival is still rejected.

    With the call site reverted to plain verification, the key-fetch case fails.

  • Unusable trusted keys: the four malformed-key cases, a malformed key on the second verification, recovery of a malformed cached key, cache shadowing, and a synchronous provider's outage. Each failed before its fix.

  • rs-sdk/src/sync.rs: failover with a 2 s exclusion; no failover for a single node or with banning off.

  • rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider:

    • 8 concurrent misses share one refresh;
    • absent only from a refresh newer than the response;
    • waits for a newer refresh;
    • no second refresh within the gap after a failure;
    • a running refresh is joined;
    • a panic is contained;
    • no reference cycle.

    The decision rule is also covered by a table test. The cycle and running-refresh guards were checked by breaking the code on purpose.

  • rs-context-provider: forwarding through each wrapper. rs-drive-proof-verifier: the typed error carries the proof's quorum.

  • rs-sdk-ffi: the provider fetches asynchronously, and the error maps to NetworkError. wasm-sdk: a newer quorum loads through the SDK it builds, and the error is retriable.

  • wasm32: should_fetch_through_the_browser_and_wait_out_the_gap was run by hand under Node with wasm-bindgen-test-runner 0.2.108. All 16 wasm-sdk wasm32 tests pass. CI does not run wasm32 tests.

  • Test results (dash-sdk --lib, rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider, wasm-sdk and dash-context-provider rerun at 2955d5f: 284, 37, 145 native, 16 wasm32 and 2 respectively, none failing or ignored):

    • dash-sdk --all-features: 271 lib tests plus the integration suites;
    • drive-proof-verifier: 347;
    • rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider: 34;
    • wasm-sdk --lib: 145;
    • rs-sdk-ffi --lib: 353;
    • dash-context-provider: 2.
  • cargo clippy -D warnings --all-targets --all-features is clean for the six crates. wasm32 clippy is clean for wasm-sdk (with tests) and rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider.

  • Not covered:

    • The wait test uses an affected-state proof. No recorded vector exists for a transition with an execution proof.
    • The mock transport reports the same address for every response, so the failover case observes the exclusion before the second response.
    • A native provider with synchronous refetch on (refetch_if_not_found = true) still reports a list-fetch failure as not-found. This predates this PR.
    • The mainnet branch of build_trusted_provider resolves DNS, so it is left out of unit tests.

Breaking Changes

Source-breaking for Rust users who match these enums exhaustively or implement Fetch themselves:

  • New variants drive_proof_verifier::Error::QuorumKeyUnavailable and ContextProviderError::QuorumSourceUnavailable. Neither enum is #[non_exhaustive].
  • Fetch::Request and FetchMany::Request now require their response to be Clone. Every response in this repo is.
  • The verifier's message for a missing quorum key now starts with "quorum key unavailable for quorum …". The provider's message is kept after it.

Behaviour changes:

  • rs-sdk-ffi turns off synchronous refetching.
  • ContextProvider gains a defaulted method, which needs no change from implementers.

…nously

ContextProvider gains a defaulted fetch_quorum_public_key, which returns a
Send + 'static future resolving to the key, to Ok(None) when the provider's
trusted source answered and does not know the quorum, or to an error when the
provider could not find out. The default returns None, so every existing
provider keeps its behaviour. The Arc/Box and Mutex wrappers forward it.

The proof verifier reports a key the provider could not supply as
Error::QuorumKeyUnavailable, carrying the quorum type, hash and core chain
locked height the proof named. Its Display keeps the provider's message,
so callers that classify errors by text are unaffected; the variant stays
under the retryable Error::Proof in the SDK.

ContextProviderError gains QuorumSourceUnavailable for a trusted quorum
source that gave no answer.

No behaviour change yet: nothing calls fetch_quorum_public_key.

Forwarding test: removing the blanket impl's forward makes
should_forward_quorum_key_fetches_through_every_wrapper fail (default None),
restoring it makes it pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
TrustedHttpContextProvider implements fetch_quorum_public_key. A miss joins
a refresh of both quorum lists that is still running, or starts one; the
starts of two refreshes are at least 1s apart, which bounds the load quorum
hashes that do not exist can put on the quorum service whether or not the
SDK bans the nodes that send them. The key is looked up in the fetched lists
and put back into its cache.

The future answers Ok(None), "absent", only when both lists arrived from a
refresh that started after the miss; a refresh that started earlier may
predate the quorum, so the miss asks for a new one, or reports the source as
unavailable while the gap has not passed. A failed list is never read as
absent.

Shared refreshes run on a copy of the provider that does not hold the refresh
slot, so an abandoned refresh cannot keep the provider alive. A panicking
refresh becomes two failed lists instead of panicking every waiter. On wasm32
the browser's non-Send fetches run under spawn_local and only their result
crosses back. Quorum list requests now time out after 5s on every target.

refresh_quorum_caches always starts a refresh and publishes it, so misses
that come in while it runs share it.

A provider with synchronous refetching on (the default on native) returns
None: its lookup already fetched on the miss.

The test server's accepted sockets are now blocking: on macOS they inherited
the listener's non-blocking mode and could fail to read a request that had
not arrived yet.

Test would have caught the missing fetch: before this change
should_fetch_a_quorum_key_newer_than_the_cache,
should_share_one_refresh_between_concurrent_misses,
should_report_a_quorum_absent_only_when_both_lists_lack_it,
should_not_report_a_quorum_absent_when_a_list_failed and
should_let_misses_join_an_explicit_refresh all failed (the trait default
returned None); after it all 30 provider tests pass.

…rum key

A proof signed by a quorum the context provider has not cached failed on
every node: the error was a retryable proof error, so each node was banned
in turn until no address was left, and a typed write that executed was
reported as failed. Browser SDKs, whose trusted context fetches its quorum
keys once at connect, hit this after every rotation.

Every Fetch, FetchMany and state-transition wait now verifies through one
helper. When verification fails only because the provider has no key for the
quorum the proof names, the provider is asked to fetch it and the response
already received is verified again, signature included. Nothing is sent
again. What the provider's trusted source said decides the outcome:

- key fetched: the second verification's result;
- quorum absent from lists fetched after the response arrived: the original
  retryable error, so the node that named it is banned as before;
- no answer: ContextProviderError::QuorumSourceUnavailable, which is not
  retryable, so no node is banned for the source's failure. sync::retry
  moves such a request to another node with the flat 2s exclusion DPNS
  failover uses, and stops when banning is off or no other node is live;
- provider cannot fetch: the original error, as before.

Fetch and FetchMany require their request's response to be Clone, so the
response can be verified a second time. Every response in this crate is.

Tests would have caught this: before the change
should_verify_a_proof_signed_by_a_quorum_the_cache_has_not_seen,
should_still_check_the_signature_after_fetching_the_key,
should_report_a_quorum_the_trusted_service_does_not_list_against_the_node,
should_not_hold_an_unreachable_quorum_service_against_the_node and
should_report_the_original_error_when_the_provider_cannot_fetch failed (no
fetch was made), and should_fail_over_when_the_quorum_source_gave_no_answer
failed with the old retry predicate; after it they pass. They replay the
recorded epoch proof through a network SDK whose trusted provider starts
with an empty cache. The broadcast wait path goes through the same helper;
no recorded wait response with a proof exists to replay.

…roid

dash_sdk_create_trusted built its TrustedHttpContextProvider with
synchronous refetching on, so a proof signed by a quorum newer than the
cache blocked inside proof verification on two sequential HTTP fetches. A
node could trigger that with every response, concurrent misses each fetched
on their own, and a quorum service outage got every node banned.

The provider is now built by one build_trusted_provider for all three quorum
URL sources, with synchronous refetching off. The SDK fetches a missing key
asynchronously and verifies the response it already holds again, as in the
browser. The start-up prefetch goes through the provider's shared refresh, so
a query issued before it finishes waits for it instead of fetching again.

A quorum source that gave no answer maps to NetworkError instead of
whatever the message text matched.

Tests would have caught this: before the change
should_build_a_provider_that_fetches_missing_quorum_keys_asynchronously
failed (the provider returned None) and
quorum_source_unavailable_maps_to_network_error failed (InternalError);
after it both pass. The mainnet default URL branch is not exercised in the
unit test because constructing it resolves DNS; it shares the same final
with_refetch_if_not_found(false).

…fetch

WasmTrustedContext fetches its quorum keys once, when the app connects,
and cannot refetch inside the synchronous lookup because wasm cannot block.
It now forwards fetch_quorum_public_key to its provider, so the SDK fetches a
quorum newer than the prefetch and verifies the response again instead of
failing every read and banning every node until the page reloads.

A quorum source that gave no answer is reported to JS as retriable: no node is
banned for it, but it is transient.

The test endpoint's accepted sockets are now blocking: on macOS they inherited
the listener's non-blocking mode and could fail to read a request that had
not arrived yet.

Tests would have caught this: before the change
should_fetch_a_quorum_newer_than_the_prefetch_through_the_sdk failed (the
context returned None) and should_report_an_unavailable_quorum_source_as_retriable
failed (not retriable); after it both pass.

…urce unavailable

When a miss joined a refresh that started before the response, and a new
refresh could not start yet, the provider answered QuorumSourceUnavailable.
That error bans no node, so a node naming a quorum that does not exist
escaped its ban whenever someone else had refreshed within the last second,
and with banning off every such response failed its request outright. During
an outage the error also replaced the real cause with "refreshed less than
1s ago".

The miss now waits until a new refresh may start and takes that refresh's
answer. QuorumSourceUnavailable only ever means the quorum service failed;
a quorum missing from lists fetched after the response is always "absent",
which bans the node as before. Refresh starts stay at least 1s apart.

Whether a refresh started after the response is now decided by a refresh
generation the miss notes when the SDK asks, not by comparing timestamps,
which a coarse browser clock could make equal. A finished refresh, failed or
not, is reused only within the 1s gap, also by misses that need a newer one,
and a running refresh is joined for its requests' timeout plus a margin.

A panicking refresh logs its payload; a failed refresh logs its reason once,
with the whole error source chain; a key fetched for a quorum newer than the
cache is logged at info.

Tests: should_look_again_with_a_newer_refresh_when_an_older_one_lacks_the_quorum
replaces the test that pinned the old QuorumSourceUnavailable answer and now
gets the key; should_judge_a_quorum_absent_from_a_refresh_newer_than_the_response,
should_not_refresh_again_within_the_gap_after_a_failed_refresh,
should_not_let_an_abandoned_refresh_hold_the_provider and
should_join_a_running_refresh_past_the_gap_but_not_a_finished_one are new.
The last two fail when detached() is replaced by clone() and when the
finished flag is set before the fetch, respectively.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
If the provider reported a fetched key but its lookup still missed it on the
second verification, the original retryable error came back and the node
was banned for the provider's broken contract. That case is now reported as
QuorumSourceUnavailable, like any other answer the provider could not give,
and logged with the quorum and the reason. Every provider error that is
normalized this way keeps its variant in the reason.

The failover path in sync::retry and the comments that describe it no
longer speak only of DPNS rejections; its stop message logs the error.

Tests: should_not_hold_a_provider_that_forgets_a_fetched_key_against_the_node
fails without the new mapping (the node would be banned) and passes with it.
Also new: a malformed key from the quorum service bans no node; the fetch is
asked for exactly the quorum type, hash and core height the proof names; the
failover exclusion lasts at most 2s; and the verifier test uses a distinctive
core height.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The size was built with NonZeroUsize::new(100).unwrap() at run time; a
constant evaluates it at compile time. No behaviour change.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
In the browser the quorum lists are fetched with fetch and the wait between
two refreshes is a browser timer; neither future is Send, so both run on the
local executor and only their results cross to the SDK's future. The new
wasm32 test runs a failed refresh, then a miss that has to wait out the gap
and refresh again, and checks it reports the unreachable quorum service
after about a second.

Run by hand under Node (CI does not run wasm32 tests):
  CC_wasm32_unknown_unknown=<llvm>/clang AR_wasm32_unknown_unknown=<llvm>/llvm-ar \
  CARGO_TARGET_WASM32_UNKNOWN_UNKNOWN_RUNNER=wasm-bindgen-test-runner \
    cargo test -p wasm-sdk --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --lib
16 passed, including this test (1.03s).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK can fetch quorum keys that are absent from its cache and re-verify proof responses. The trusted context provider coordinates shared quorum-list refreshes, reports incomplete source results, and supports asynchronous fetches across native and WASM targets.

Changes

Quorum Key Recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fetch contracts and verification errors
packages/rs-context-provider/src/error.rs, packages/rs-context-provider/src/provider.rs, packages/rs-context-provider/src/lib.rs, packages/rs-drive-proof-verifier/src/error.rs, packages/rs-drive-proof-verifier/src/verify.rs, packages/rs-drive-proof-verifier/src/lib.rs
The context-provider trait adds an optional asynchronous quorum-key fetch method and forwards it through wrapper implementations. The proof verifier reports lookup failures with quorum identity, height, and the source error.
Shared trusted-source refresh
packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/Cargo.toml, packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/*
The trusted provider shares refresh work across clones, fetches current and previous quorum lists concurrently, and applies request timeouts. It validates listed BLS public keys. A missing key returns None only when both lists are complete and omit it; incomplete results produce QuorumSourceUnavailable.
SDK key fetching and proof re-verification
packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk.rs, packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/quorum_key.rs, packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/*, packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/transition/broadcast.rs
The SDK fetches a key after proof verification reports it missing, then re-verifies the same response. DAPI parsing and broadcast outcome handling use this path. Response verification uses arrival-time metadata anchors.
Source-error handling and SDK integrations
packages/rs-sdk/src/error.rs, packages/rs-sdk/src/sync.rs, packages/rs-sdk-ffi/src/*, packages/wasm-sdk/src/*
SDK error conversion preserves quorum-source failures. FFI maps these failures to network errors, and WASM marks them retriable. SDK retry handling can briefly exclude the responding node when another node is available. FFI provider construction and WASM context forwarding configure access to quorum-key fetching.

✅ Final review complete — no blockers (commit a7a6716) · triage: critical

…hen it arrived

The staleness check compares a response's height with the highest height
the SDK has accepted. While one response waited for the key of the quorum
that signed it, other requests could raise that mark by more than the
tolerance, so a response that was fresh when it arrived failed as
StaleNode, which is retryable: an honest node was banned for the client's
own wait.

The SDK's proof helper now accepts the verified metadata itself, through
Sdk::accept_verified_metadata, which keeps the rule that the protocol
version ratchets only from verified metadata. A response verified after a
fetch is judged against the height mark read before its first verification;
one verified without a fetch is judged as before. The Fetch, FetchMany and
state-transition wait paths all go through it.

Test would have caught this: before the change
should_judge_a_response_that_waited_for_a_key_as_fresh_as_when_it_arrived
failed with StaleNode { expected_height: 23, received_height: 13 }; after it
the test passes. should_still_reject_a_response_that_was_stale_when_it_arrived
passes before and after: the wait never makes a stale response acceptable.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The asynchronous recovery path preserves full proof and BLS signature verification, but malformed-key handling and synchronous source-failure attribution still have client-side correctness gaps. These are non-consensus issues and are classified as suggestions under the repository's severity policy. Verification was static at c7d547f; the supplied CI snapshot reports successful Rust workspace, SDK package, Swift, and Kotlin checks, while the main Test Suite, browser shard (1), and PR Hygiene remain pending.

In `packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/provider.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/provider.rs:453: Classify invalid BLS public keys as trusted-source failures
  The parser validates hexadecimal encoding and the 48-byte length, but not BLS public-key encoding. If the trusted service supplies 48 zero bytes for the signing quorum, this fetch returns Ok(Some(key)); the second verification then returns InvalidPublicKey at verify.rs:143–146. The SDK propagates that as retryable Error::Proof, so sync::retry applies the node-health ban to an honest responder. Subsequent responses encounter the same cached key and can ban further nodes. The verifier's existing all-zero-key test confirms this failure, whereas the new malformed-source-key test exercises only invalid hexadecimal text. Validate BLS encoding before reporting the fetched key as usable, or classify InvalidPublicKey as a provider/source failure on both verification attempts. Invalid signatures must remain attributable to the responding node.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/provider.rs:477-479: Refresh instead of repeatedly returning an unusable cached key
  Both quorum-list fetch methods cache QuorumData before listed_key validates its public key. A response containing "zz" therefore remains cached after the SDK reports QuorumSourceUnavailable. On later reads, synchronous lookup fails on that entry and this branch returns the same parsing error without reaching latest_or_start. Expiration of MIN_GAP and repair of the trusted service cannot restore reads for this quorum; recovery requires an unrelated refresh, eviction, or provider rebuild. Short-circuit only for a successfully decoded cached key and otherwise enter the rate-limited refresh path. Add a recovery test that serves a malformed key first and a corrected key for the same hash on a later refresh using the same provider.

In `packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/quorum_key.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/quorum_key.rs:72-75: Preserve source-failure attribution when no asynchronous fetch is available
  A provider can fetch synchronously and retain the trait's default None asynchronous hook. If its synchronous lookup returns the new QuorumSourceUnavailable error, verify_tenderdash_signature wraps it in QuorumKeyUnavailable and this fallback converts it to Error::Proof. That category is globally retryable, so update_address_ban_status applies the exponential node-health ban before the new source-unavailable failover predicate can recognize it. The source-failure classification should not depend on which provider method reports the outage. Normalize a nested QuorumSourceUnavailable into the SDK's ContextProviderError category at the shared error boundary, and test a synchronous provider that leaves the asynchronous hook at its default. Preserve node attribution when an available trusted source authoritatively reports the quorum absent.
- [NITPICK] packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/quorum_key.rs:118-119: Use Display when rendering provider failures
  The fallback renders ContextProviderError with Debug, producing messages such as Generic("...") inside the user-facing QuorumSourceUnavailable reason. The neighboring second-lookup failure uses Display, as does the trusted provider's error-chain formatter. Use Display here to keep the surfaced message consistent and avoid exposing Rust variant formatting.

In `packages/wasm-sdk/src/context_provider.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/wasm-sdk/src/context_provider.rs:694-697: Measure refresh spacing from the first refresh's start
  MIN_GAP is measured from publication of the first refresh, before its HTTP requests, but this test starts measuring only after those requests fail. If the initial fetch or executor scheduling takes 150 ms, a correct implementation needs approximately 850 ms of additional waiting and can fail the 900 ms assertion. If the initial request consumes the gap entirely, no additional timer wait is required. Date::now also measures adjustable wall-clock time rather than the implementation's monotonic clock. Measure the spacing from before the initial refresh with a monotonic clock, or control the fetch and timing so the test reliably verifies the timer behavior.

In `packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/transition/broadcast.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/transition/broadcast.rs:515-524: Add missing-key recovery coverage for broadcast waits
  The new helper is exercised with a recorded epoch-fetch proof, but there is no proof-bearing wait-response test covering this call site. StateTransitionProofOutcome has a distinct FromProof implementation that decodes the transition and verifies its execution or affected-state outcome before checking the quorum signature; the epoch replay does not exercise that path or its integration with wait retry handling. Add a proof-bearing wait fixture covering successful key acquisition and trusted-source failure. Assert that recovery verifies the buffered response without sending another wait request and preserves the outcome guarantee and freshness handling.
Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (3)

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.

  • SDKCallFailed path still maps QuorumSourceUnavailable to InternalError — Out of scope. At base 7b61d6f, sdk_call_failed explicitly documents an internal-error wrapper and SDKCallFailed already maps every source to InternalError. The cited write wrappers are unchanged. The observation is accurate, but extending their established classification policy is adjacent binding-error cleanup rather than a regression in quorum acquisition or node-ban handling.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
  • Preserve transient error classifications through legacy native write wrappers — Out of scope. This is the same pre-existing SDKCallFailed classification policy identified by the Codex finding, extended to legacy Swift wrappers. It is routine adjacent cleanup and does not meet the exceptional-follow-up bar for retention.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
  • Flat 2 s exclusion is a magic duration duplicated in tests — Out of scope. The identical Duration::from_secs(2) exclusion already exists in retry_with_additional_error at base 7b61d6f. This PR reuses that established failover policy and adds coverage; extracting the pre-existing duration is unrelated cleanup.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.

Notes from the Core 24 × 5.0.0-beta.2 devnet rehearsal (devnet-jameson, 2026-10-08) that touch this PR:

1. More field evidence for the service gap (QLS#16).

  • A cold native client failed 3 contract fetches with Quorum not found … 147c7362….
  • Platform's core chain-locked height trailed the Core tip by 12 blocks (13259 vs 13271), against the 8-block /previous offset.
  • Jameson has 4 active quorums at about 10 s per block.
  • Under this PR the same case is "absent", so an honest node gets banned. As the Risks section says, only the server can close it.

2. On the residual "make /quorums/:hash resolve any mined quorum". We'd steer QLS#16 away from an unbounded exact-hash lookup.

  • It widens the set of accepted signers from the active set to every Platform quorum Core retains: keepOldKeys = 1440 generations, about 60 days at hourly DKGs.
  • The trusted provider ignores the Core height it is passed (provider.rs:845). So any accepted key can sign any future height, and freshness checks don't bound what colluding retired members can sign.
  • It puts blocking quorum info calls on QLS's request path (bitcoincore_rpc inside async).
  • This PR decides "absent" from the two fetched lists anyway (FetchedQuorums::find).

A rolling /previous window fits this PR with no client change. /previous would return every quorum active in [tip − R, tip], rebuilt each refresh from quorum listextended at steps ≤ A·D. R is sized to the SDK's 31-minute metadata tolerance plus the lag. I'll put the details on QLS#16.

3. Ordering. If /previous grows past the 100-entry LRU, bulk inserts in Core's newest-first order evict the newest keys first.

  • That isn't a correctness issue: listed_key puts the needed key back.
  • It does cost extra misses and refreshes.
  • Fix either side: the server returns entries oldest → newest with a cap, or the provider inserts in reverse.

4. Stacking point for a separate security fix. quorum_key.rs:48 (let version = self.version();) verifies with the SDK's stored protocol version.

  • Mainnet and testnet seed at 13. Once PV14 activates, a fresh SDK verifies its first PV14 proofs with GROVE_V3 rules.
  • Those rules lack terminal_non_merk_tree_child_hash and chunk_proof_row_binding.
  • A whole trunk/branch sync can run that way: trunk_branch_sync/mod.rs:210 snapshots the version before the trunk query.
  • The fix is to verify with max(stored, signed metadata.protocol_version) when that version is known. The version is the signed StateId.app_version, so choosing from it is safe.
  • Since this PR routes Fetch, FetchMany and the broadcast wait through this one helper, the fix is small on top of it. I plan to stack it after this PR merges. It is not a blocker here.

5. Small.

  • fetch_quorum_public_key could return Ok(None) without a refresh when quorum_type isn't the network's Platform type. That keeps the ban and saves a refresh per bogus response.
  • The 7 platform-test-suite failures at c59af8f9 ("Quorum not found in cache", one long-lived EvoSDK) are this PR's wasm new-key case. A green re-run would be good acceptance evidence.

Capture the local clock before first proof verification alongside the arrival height. Use both anchors when accepting the same response after key acquisition, while ordinary metadata checks retain the current clock. Signed responses already stale on arrival remain node-attributed StaleNode errors.

Use one optional MetadataArrival carrying both local height and clock anchors on either proof-verification path.

Use test-only bounded insertion and release channels so an early repair-worker exit fails within the deadline instead of hanging at a barrier. Keep both destination insertions before cleanup, move test-only imports to the module top, and document the cache and fetched-list guarantees.

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

Verified the complete diff at e5bb4d1 and independently confirmed that all ten prior findings are fixed. Two non-blocking issues remain: retry-wrapped quorum-source errors lose WASM application-level retryability, and malformed quorum hashes can produce an unjustified authoritative-absence result. Validation was static only; the supplied CI snapshot still showed Rust workspace tests, the Dashmate-helper build, and policy/hygiene checks pending.

In `packages/wasm-sdk/src/error.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/wasm-sdk/src/error.rs:253-257: Preserve WASM quorum-source retryability through retry envelopes
  The application-level retryability override recognizes only a direct ContextProviderError::QuorumSourceUnavailable. After the new source-failure failover, sync::retry can wrap that error in NoAvailableAddressesToRetry when the next dispatch finds no live addresses—for example, another concurrent request can exclude the remaining address during the retry delay. The wrapper's can_retry() is false, and the WASM conversion at lines 283–288 forwards that false value without inspecting the cause. JavaScript therefore receives isRetriable=false for the same temporary source outage that is correctly retriable without the wrapper. Recognize quorum-source failures recursively through NoAvailableAddressesToRetry before applying the WASM conversion, preserving the contextual message and unrelated errors' classifications. Add direct and nested-wrapper coverage, and leave SDK CanRetry unchanged because it controls node-health attribution.

In `packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/quorum_refresh.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk-trusted-context-provider/src/quorum_refresh.rs:72-75: Validate snapshot hash semantics before declaring a quorum absent
  Two Ok lists are treated as complete even when their quorum_hash records cannot be interpreted. QuorumData deserializes hashes as unrestricted strings; both list-fetch methods skip invalid hex or non-32-byte hashes during cache ingestion but still return Ok, and matching() silently excludes those records. A fresh successful HTTP response containing an unusable hash can consequently produce Ok(None), which verify_fetching_quorum_key converts into a retryable proof error and a node-health ban. The client cannot establish authoritative absence when it cannot identify a record supplied by the trusted service. Track semantic incompleteness for invalid hashes and return QuorumSourceUnavailable when no usable positive match exists; usable matches from either list should still succeed. Add successful-HTTP cases containing invalid-hex and wrong-length hashes.
Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (6)

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.

  • Align proof-verification rules with the authenticated checkpoint version — The helper preserves the base implementation's use of the SDK's stored PlatformVersion before authenticating and learning the response version. Current tables select GroveDB protocol 3 for Platform v13 and protocol 4 for v14, while trunk/branch sync snapshots the stored version before its trunk request. This is a concrete, pre-existing verification-version mismatch, not introduced by missing-key recovery.
    • Follow-up: Track a separate security-focused change covering authenticated checkpoint-version selection, bootstrap and pinned-version behavior, and checkpoint-consistent branch verification.
  • Establish height-scoped eligibility for cached quorum signers — The trusted provider ignores the supplied Core chain-locked height and retains cached keys absent from subsequent lists until eviction, as it did at the base revision. Possession of a retired quorum's threshold signing capability can therefore satisfy signature verification without independently establishing eligibility for the claimed checkpoint. The new refresh generations establish freshness of an absence query, not signer eligibility.
    • Follow-up: Track a separate trust-model change defining independently established quorum eligibility and retirement across cached and fetched keys, coordinated with quorum-service retention changes.
  • Attribute unusable provider keys at the shared verifier boundary — Out of scope: the reported initial-lookup failure is real but pre-existing. At the base revision, verify_tenderdash_signature already decoded callback bytes into InvalidPublicKey, the SDK already classified that as retryable Proof, and CallbackContextProvider already returned successful callback bytes without validation. The callback implementation is unchanged and does not implement the new asynchronous hook. Moving validation and identity-point rejection for every synchronous provider into the shared verifier broadens this PR beyond its trusted-service recovery paths, which now validate keys.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
  • Own unusable-key attribution at the shared verifier boundary — Out of scope and duplicate of the initial-provider-key attribution claim: comparison with the base confirms that malformed callback keys and identity-point keys already followed the same initial verification path. The new helper handles unusable decoding results after acquisition, and the HTTP provider rejects malformed and identity-point keys on fresh and cached reads; changing attribution for all existing synchronous providers is separate work.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
  • Default native synchronous refetch retains legacy outage attribution — Out of scope: find_quorum already discarded list-fetch failures and returned not-found at the base revision. The PR explicitly discloses this compatibility limitation, while the changed native trusted FFI constructor disables synchronous refetch and uses the shared asynchronous path. This routine provider-compatibility follow-up does not warrant retaining an exceptional out-of-scope finding.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
  • Preserve native network classifications in Swift typed-write wrappers — Out of scope: SDKError.stateTransitionFailure is identical at base and head and already discarded non-consensus native classifications in favor of its fallback. The PR fixes classification at the C ABI without modifying this Swift wrapper; broader Swift error propagation is existing binding debt.

Test would have caught this in CI: ✖ before fix, ✔ after. should_report_retry_wrapped_unavailable_quorum_source_as_retriable failed at retry envelope depth 1 before the fix; the WASM error module now passes 10 tests and the FFI error module passes 18 tests, including direct and unrelated-error controls.

Treat successful lists with invalid-hex or non-32-byte quorum hashes as semantically incomplete. Keep usable positive matches from either list and return QuorumSourceUnavailable for unproven absence, preserving node-health attribution.

Test would have caught this in CI: ✖ before fix, ✔ after. Both malformed-hash provider tests failed with Ok(None), and all four SDK current/previous invalid-hex/wrong-length cases failed with node-attributed Proof errors. The provider suite now passes 42 tests, including usable-match controls across both lists; the same four SDK regressions now pass with non-node-attributed source failures.

Cover the shared predicate directly against nested envelopes, sibling context errors, and look-alike generic messages. Name the single-attempt retry predicate explicitly, clarify its distinction from the recursive category, and describe the public method contract.

Make incomplete-refresh diagnostics accurate for transport and semantic failures, assert malformed-hash reason text, and construct the previous-list fixture with serde_json. These coverage, naming, documentation, fixture, and diagnostic-wording changes preserve runtime classification and retry behavior; no new failing behavior regression applies. The direct predicate test passes against the existing implementation.

Limit the raw trusted hash in source-failure reasons to 64 characters plus an ellipsis, preserving parsing details and handling multibyte text safely. Document why an incomplete feed causes unknown quorums to receive brief exclusions rather than health bans while proof acceptance remains strict.

Test would have caught this in CI: ✖ before fix, ✔ after. should_bound_uninterpretable_quorum_hash_diagnostics failed because the complete raw malformed hash reached the source reason; the same test now passes for oversized invalid text, wrong-length valid hex, and multibyte text.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Require height coverage before returning quorum absence.

fetch_missing_quorum_key ignores the requested Core chain-locked height. A newer refresh only proves that the lists were fetched later. It does not prove that they cover that height.

If both valid snapshots lag the proof height, listed_key finds no entry and fetched.incomplete() returns None, so the provider returns Ok(None). The SDK treats that result as authoritative absence. The normal proof-error path can then ban an honest node.

Add an explicit source coverage watermark for the list set. Require both list responses to cover the requested height before returning Ok(None). Return QuorumSourceUnavailable when the coverage is insufficient. Define the meaning of the watermark in the list-service protocol; do not assume that QuorumData.height or PreviousQuorumsData.height provides this guarantee. Apply the contract to both synchronous and asynchronous lookup paths.

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

At a7a6716, the implementation preserves full proof and signature re-verification, and all 12 prior findings are fixed in their reported paths. One non-blocking attribution gap remains for malformed keys returned directly by providers on the initial verification. This was static verification only; the supplied CI snapshot from 2026-10-09T13:39:30Z still showed Rust workspace and Kotlin tests queued, with JavaScript and Docker builds running.

- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/sdk/quorum_key.rs:106-108: Preserve provider-key attribution on the initial verification
  An unusable provider key is normalized to QuorumSourceUnavailable only during the second verification. The new Forgetful provider with invalid_key=true exposes the remaining path: its first request fetches a key and correctly reports a source failure, but the next request immediately receives Ok([0; 48]) from the synchronous lookup. The verifier returns InvalidPublicKey, the initial-verification fallback at lines 72–73 converts it to Error::Proof, and CanRetry makes it eligible for the responding node's health ban. Thus repeated responses can ban honest nodes for the same provider defect that the first response correctly attributes to the provider. The HTTP provider's parser prevents this in that adapter, but not for other implementations of the new fetching capability. Centralize unusable-key validation and attribution in verify_tenderdash_signature, returning QuorumKeyUnavailable with a QuorumSourceUnavailable cause and the quorum context. Preserve node attribution for invalid signatures under usable keys, and extend the malformed-provider regression to verify two successive requests against the same provider.
Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (4)

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.

  • Align proof-verification rules with the authenticated response protocol version — The helper uses self.version() for structural proof verification before authenticated metadata can advance the SDK version. Mainnet and testnet seed at PV13, which selects GROVE_V3, whereas PV14 selects GROVE_V4; trunk/branch scanning also snapshots the stored version before its trunk request. Comparison with the base confirms that these selection patterns predate this PR. This is a concrete verification-policy follow-up, not a missing-key recovery regression.
    • Follow-up: Track a separate SDK security change for response-version-aware verification, preserving signature authentication, explicit-version semantics, and monotonic SDK state. Cover bootstrap and upgrade boundaries as well as trunk/branch scans.
  • Enforce signing eligibility for cached historical quorums — TrustedHttpContextProvider ignores the supplied Core chain-locked height and retains cached quorum keys after they disappear from the advertised lists. Signature verification therefore establishes possession of a cached quorum's signing key without independently establishing its eligibility at the claimed height. Retired signing material could authenticate fresh-looking fabricated state while its key remains cached. Both the ignored-height lookup and additive cache ingestion exist in the base, so this requires a separate trust-policy change.
    • Follow-up: Track a separate security change defining permitted signing intervals and historical-proof policy, enforcing them against independently trusted chain context, and testing rejection of fresh-looking state signed by an ineligible retired quorum.
  • Preserve source errors in the legacy synchronous quorum refetch — Outside scope: base find_quorum already discarded failed list requests and returned QuorumNotFound. The modified trusted FFI construction disables synchronous refetch, and the PR explicitly documents the unchanged legacy behavior; this does not warrant an additional review finding.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
  • Preserve native network categories in Swift typed-write adapters — Outside scope: SDKError.stateTransitionFailure already defaulted non-consensus failures to internalError, and both that helper and the cited document-replacement caller are unchanged from the base. This is adjacent host-adapter cleanup rather than a defect introduced by the corrected C error mapping.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.

Conflicts with #5313, which verifies a response again after fetching a
missing quorum key, in the same clone-and-retry spot as the protocol
version fallback:
- fetch.rs, fetch_many.rs: both sides require a cloneable response; the
  doc names both retries.
- sdk.rs: the Dapi arm takes #5313's `verify_fetching_quorum_key`, whose
  two verifications now go through `parse_proof_at_the_reported_version`
  (the version passed in, so both start from the same one). A failure of
  the quorum signature or its key is reported as it is under either
  version (`fails_after_reading_the_proof`): the signature is checked
  once the proof was read, so a missing key still reaches the fetch and
  no extra quorum lookup is made.

Test: `should_report_a_missing_quorum_key_found_under_the_newest_version`.
