fee_address has no column default, because an operator has to supply their own —
and the payout pays the 30% commission to it, so build_payout_transaction cannot
even be built without one. A fresh instance nonetheless opened rounds happily:
each took bets, confirmed them, and only then discovered it was unpayable,
wedging in "paying_out" and retrying every 60s with money already in the pool.
One manual recovery per round, until somebody noticed.
open_new_round_if_needed now checks rounds_can_open(config) alongside `paused`:
no payout address, no round. Nothing has moved yet at that point, which is the
whole difference. Same scope as pausing — a round already in progress still
closes, draws and pays out, since clearing the address mid-round is exactly the
operator slip that must not strand a live round.
Surfaced rather than silent, in the two places that matter: lottery_configured on
GET /rounds/current, which makes / show a *different* banner from the maintenance
one (telling a player "come back later" would be false — nothing is coming until
setup finishes), and a warning at the top of /admin's Parametri card, the one
screen that can fix it. rounds_can_open is where any future
would-make-a-round-unpayable prerequisite belongs, instead of being discovered at
payout time.
The test churn is the finding restated: 26 tests expected a round to open on an
instance with no payout address. Their fixtures now seed one, so each goes back to
testing what it says — several would otherwise have passed for the wrong reason,
returning None because of the missing address rather than because of the cooldown
or pause under test.

participant_count and jackpot_sats were computed over every round_participants
row, while the draw only picks from confirmed participants and the payout only
spends their sats. So the advertised jackpot could exceed the one paid out, and a
player whose bet was later abandoned appeared in the count and then vanished
again.
Counting only confirmed rows would have fixed the arithmetic and broken something
else: the player who just bet would see neither themselves nor their money for a
whole block. So this is the same confirmed/in-flight split the balance already
exposes (balance_sats vs pending_balance_sats): participant_count and
jackpot_sats are now the confirmed, authoritative figures, and
pending_participant_count/pending_jackpot_sats/has_pending_bets report what is in
flight — inclusive figures, not deltas, matching the balance pair's convention.
/'s round card shows the confirmed numbers big and the difference as an amber
"+N in attesa" suffix, reusing .balance-pending's colour for the same "not
settled yet" meaning. The two new spans render from server data through t(), so
they carry no data-i18n and onLanguageChange() repaints them from the last
response — the one-mechanism-per-element rule. Both strings are in all 7
languages.

_wait_for_next_block had no timeout, no log, and no audit entry: a
connection that stopped advancing the tip left a round silently frozen
in "drawing" with nothing in /admin to explain why. Log progress
periodically, write a draw_stalled audit entry past a threshold (a few
block-time multiples), and surface the wait via a new Round.drawing_started_at
column, exposed as draw_waiting_since in GET /rounds/current.

A dropped connection used to hang the whole platform permanently, and three
defects composed to do it (BUGS.md B-01):
The read loop's death was invisible. When the socket closed, _read_loop broke out
and finished, but _run_once was blocked on gather() over two notification
consumers waiting on queues nobody would ever fill again — it never returned and
never raised, so the reconnect-with-backoff logic was unreachable.
client.wait_closed() now resolves when the loop ends for any reason, and
_run_once races it against the consumers and a keepalive with
asyncio.wait(FIRST_COMPLETED).
Nothing had a timeout. request() registered a future, wrote to a half-closed
socket (drain() often doesn't raise) and awaited a reply that would never come.
That hung a POST /bets *while holding the per-user lock*, and could stop the
confirmation poller for good. Every request is now bounded at 15s, and a timeout
tears the connection down rather than leaving a server that owes us a reply in
rotation.
There was no keepalive, so on a quiet instance the normal way this connection
dies is an idle-timeout drop by the server (~10 minutes for many). A server.ping
every 60s makes that observable within a minute.
listener.client is also cleared before reconnecting, so callers stop treating a
dead connection as live.
On top of the finding, the listener now rotates over a list of servers:
ELECTRUM_FALLBACK_SERVERS holds comma-separated host:port[:notls] extras, tried
after the primary. Everything the platform does goes through this one connection
— deposit credits, broadcasts, confirmations, the chain tip the draw waits on —
which made a single hardcoded server its biggest point of failure. A failed or
dropped session moves to the next server immediately and only sleeps on the
backoff once every server has had a turn, so one dead server costs one attempt
instead of an outage, while a genuinely offline network still backs off. A
malformed entry fails at startup, not during the outage when the fallback is what
you need.
Also fixes B-19: header handling refuses a height below the current tip and
applies height and hex together, since _wait_for_next_block waits for
tip_height > tip_at_close (a regression silently added a block to the draw's
wait) and that hex is the draw's entropy source, so a mismatched pair would be
worse than a stale one.
Verified in the live deployment: the log shows the endpoint list, then "Electrum
connected to santantonio.sytes.net:50002", and the connection holds.

Round opening (B-09). open_new_round_if_needed now handles the IntegrityError
from ix_rounds_single_active (previous commit) by rolling back and using the
winner's round. Deviation from the plan in BUGS.md, which proposed making the
scheduler the only writer: that would mean the first bet after a cooldown
couldn't open a round, so both callers stay and a bounded retry was added
instead — a conflict where nothing is active yet just means the winner hadn't
committed, and a bet must not fail on that timing. get_active_round also logs
loudly if it ever sees more than one active round rather than silently picking
the newest.
The jackpot (B-11). It was participant_count * the *current* bet_amount_sats,
which overstated the pool (each stored bet is already net of that bet's network
fee) and silently rewrote the advertised jackpot of a round in progress whenever
an operator edited the bet amount. It now sums the participants' stored
bet_amount_sats. The remaining imprecision — the payout tx's own fee, deducted
from the winner's share and unknowable until the payout is built — is documented
in the code rather than promised away, since the comment there claimed exactness.
Payout (B-05, B-18). _trigger_payout is split into read / build+broadcast /
persist, so no DB session is held across a network call (on SQLite that meant
holding the write lock for two unbounded round-trips). That restructuring is also
what makes the error handling placeable: it now catches Exception around the
chain work and writes a payout_failed audit entry, where a malformed fee_address
used to raise EmbitError all the way to the scheduler's catch-all, leaving the
round stuck in paying_out with nothing recorded about why. Automatic payout retry
remains an open gap.
The scheduler also counts "building" participants as in-flight when deciding
whether a round may close, matching the two-phase bet write.

Balance display: place_bet/request_withdrawal spend whole UTXOs and mark
them spent at broadcast time, well before confirmation, so the confirmed-only
balance could drop by far more than the amount actually moving. Add
compute_pending_balance() (app/wallet/balance.py) to fold the unconfirmed
change from in-flight bet/withdrawal PendingTransactions back in; GET
/users/me now returns pending_balance_sats + has_pending, and the frontend
shows it colored green (settled) or amber (still pending) instead of the
confirmed-only figure.
Round outcome display: the win/lose reveal and the "pagamento al vincitore
in corso" status were fighting over the same UI slot, and the reveal broke
across a page refresh. Now:
- The round-status box (generic phase progress) and the personal win/lose
box are independent and can both be visible at once.
- The win/lose box only renders for users who actually played in that round
(new user_played field on GET /rounds/current, via a new optional-auth
dependency so the endpoint stays usable logged-out).
- The reveal delay is anchored to the round's server-provided closes_at
instead of a client-side "first seen" timestamp, so repeated reloads can't
reset it, and the revealed result is persisted in localStorage so it
survives a refresh even after the round has fully closed.
- GET /users/me/last-round-result is a durable DB-backed backstop for
players who miss the live window entirely (backgrounded tab, offline).
Also hardens the frontend polling loop: call() now times out instead of
hanging forever, and a session-epoch counter stops an in-flight request from
a previous login from resurrecting a duplicate poll loop after logout.
