Resolves #1355.

We have 100% of the blocks routes implemented!

blocks.rs becomes routes/blocks/:

  • every endpoint gets its own file, with its tests at the bottom
  • mod.rs keeps what the endpoints share (id parsing, block loading, tip lookup, tx paging) and re-exports the handlers, so lib.rs stays as it is
  • duplicated code is pulled into one helper instead of being copied around

Code that is not HTTP moves out of routes/:

  • BlockModelBuilder → src/mapping/blocks.rs
  • synthetic genesis block → src/hacks/genesis_block.rs, the three per-network copies collapsed into one function

Blockfrost fixtures for blocks pass the same before and after.

  • a lot more tests

part of #1296

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added block lookup by hash, number, slot, or epoch and slot.
    • Added latest-block retrieval and navigation to previous or next blocks.
    • Added paginated transaction hashes, transaction CBOR, and touched-address endpoints.
    • Added synthetic genesis-block support for supported networks.
    • Block responses include chain context, neighboring blocks, transaction details, fees, outputs, and confirmations.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved validation and error handling for malformed, missing, and unavailable block data.
    • Preserved pagination, ordering, and genesis attribution across block endpoints.

mapping.rs becomes a folder module; the block builder is its first
submodule.
hacks.rs becomes a folder module. The three per-network copies of the
synthetic genesis block collapse into one function driven by a
per-network table.
Handlers move into latest, by_hash_or_number, by_slot, txs and addresses
with their tests. Shared parsing, block loading, tip lookup, model
building and tx paging live in mod.rs.
next, previous, latest/txs, latest/txs/cbor, txs/cbor and epoch/slot get
their own files. Shared test helpers for the block lists move into
mod.rs.

Block route modularization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Block model mapping
crates/minibf/src/mapping/blocks.rs, crates/minibf/src/mapping/mod.rs
Block decoding and conversion now produce block, transaction hash, CBOR, and address models in the dedicated blocks module.
Synthetic genesis handling
crates/minibf/src/hacks/genesis_block.rs, crates/minibf/src/hacks/mod.rs
Genesis selection, synthetic block construction, hash matching, and previous-block linking now use the dedicated genesis_block module.
Shared block route foundation
crates/minibf/src/routes/blocks/mod.rs, crates/minibf/src/routes/blocks.rs
Shared parsing, archive lookup, tip retrieval, model construction, pagination, exports, and test helpers move into the new block route module.
Block endpoint handlers
crates/minibf/src/routes/blocks/*
Separate handlers implement block lookup, navigation, latest blocks, epoch-slot and slot lookup, addresses, transaction hashes, and transaction CBOR responses with endpoint tests.

Genesis-related block navigation can omit the final genesis page or return 404 for numeric genesis navigation. These are bounded API correctness issues that should be fixed before release.

Sound refactor. The split is faithful and I would approve it after the /blocks/latest fix.

I diffed the old routes/blocks.rs, mapping.rs and hacks.rs against all 17 new files. The handler bodies for previous, next, addresses, txs, txs_cbor and by_epoch_slot, plus BlockModelBuilder, are faithful copies. Status codes match everywhere: 404 on a missing block, 503 on an empty archive, 400 on a bad id. The genesis hack applies in exactly the same five handlers as before. Collapsing the three per-network genesis copies into genesis_for_domain is correct — hashes, times and next_block values all match the originals.

I found nothing wrong in the pagination, ordering, genesis-in-range or touched-address logic.

Severity legend: 🔴 blocking · 🟡 should fix · 🟢 nice to have

Comment thread crates/minibf/src/hacks/mod.rs Resolved
- /blocks/latest reads the tip once again; single_block_content takes the tip
- one genesis table: the genesis tx hack reads it from genesis_block.rs
- tests for /blocks/slot/{slot}

🟡 Minor · Treat Either::Right(0) as synthetic genesis.

crates/minibf/src/routes/blocks/next.rs:32-36
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Treat Either::Right(0) as synthetic genesis. The single-block route accepts numeric 0 as synthetic genesis when the archive lookup returns NOT_FOUND. The next route recognizes only the genesis hash, so /blocks/0/next performs block_by_number(0). When real blocks start at number 1, this lookup returns NOT_FOUND instead of the blocks after genesis. Add Either::Right(0) => true to the is_genesis match.
