davideandClaude Opus 5 23d58796b6 Refuse to open a round that could not pay its winner (B-66)
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.

PLM Lottery

A periodic-round lottery system built on PLM, a Bitcoin-like coin (mainnet). Each user gets a dedicated server-derived P2WPKH address; they deposit PLM to that address, place a fixed-cost bet to enter the current round, and when the round closes a winner is drawn who receives 70% of the prize pool (the remaining 30% goes to fees).

This is a custodial system: private keys are generated and held server-side, encrypted at rest. See CLAUDE.md for the full architecture, domain decisions, and known gaps before treating this as production-ready.

Quick start

The server always runs via Docker (app + Caddy reverse proxy with automatic TLS) — in dev and production alike, with only SITE_ADDRESS differing between the two. There's no supported way to run uvicorn directly; the venv is only for local tooling (tests, Alembic migrations, the one-time key scripts) — see CLAUDE.md.

cp .env.example .env               # then fill in the generated secrets, see docs/setup.md
mkdir -p data/db data/keys data/logs
docker compose run --rm app python scripts/generate_master_key.py
docker compose up -d --build

Open https://localhost/ for the test UI, https://localhost/admin for the admin dashboard (a self-signed-certificate warning on first visit is expected in dev — accept it, or use curl -k). The interactive API docs at /docs are disabled by default (they'd otherwise expose the whole API surface, admin endpoints included) — set ENABLE_API_DOCS=true in .env to enable them.

See docs/setup.md and docs/running-the-server.md for the full walkthrough (secrets, master key generation, production TLS with a real domain).

Documentation

Tech stack

Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy async + Alembic, Argon2 + JWT auth), Electrum protocol for PLM network access (no full node), Docker + Caddy for deployment. See CLAUDE.md for the complete list and the reasoning behind each choice.

Testing

python -m pytest                    # all tests
python -m pytest tests/unit/test_hd.py   # one file

232 unit tests cover HD derivation, PSBT building, the Electrum client, bets, deposits, withdrawals, the round/draw engine, RBF fee-bumping, admin config, the pending-inclusive balance calculation, and the SSE push channel. No automated integration tests against a live Electrum connection — mainnet verification so far has been manual (see CLAUDE.md's "Project status").
