Startup validation (B-15). An empty JWT_SECRET makes PyJWT raise InvalidKeyError
on every login and an empty XPRV_ENCRYPTION_KEY makes Fernet fail on the first
key derivation — either way the container came up looking healthy and broke the
moment a real user touched it. validate_runtime_secrets() reports every problem
at once and is called from the lifespan (wired in the next commit).
Deviation from the plan in BUGS.md, which proposed a Pydantic field_validator:
Settings is constructed at import time by every module that reads config,
including the test suite, which has no .env and no business holding real secrets
— a validator there would fail a fresh clone at collection. At startup the
guarantee that matters is unchanged (the server won't serve traffic
half-configured) without coupling imports to a gitignored file. An empty
ADMIN_TOKEN is deliberately non-fatal: require_admin already denies everything,
so the effect is a locked panel, not an open one.
Unhandled errors answer the documented shape (B-24). The catch-all returned a
bare-string `detail` while app/api/errors.py documents
{"code", "message", "params"}, leaving clients to special-case exactly the
responses they understand least. It now returns internal_error in that shape,
with the exception text staying in logs/app.log and out of the response body.
GET /guida no longer crashes (B-16). It reads docs/guida-utente.md, which the
Dockerfile doesn't ship, so in every real deployment that navbar link was a 500 —
confirmed in the deployed log, which holds two of them from earlier today ending
in "RuntimeError: File at path docs/guida-utente.md does not exist." It now
checks the file and answers a structured 404 (guide_unavailable) with an error
logged. Shipping docs/ in the image was written and then reverted on request: the
guide is being reworked first, so /guida answers 404 in Docker for now, which is
an accepted state rather than an oversight.

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
cp .env.example .env # then fill in the generated secrets, see docs/setup.md
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/generate_master_key.py
alembic upgrade head
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8123
Open http://127.0.0.1:8123/ for the test UI, http://127.0.0.1:8123/admin
for the admin dashboard, http://127.0.0.1:8123/docs for the interactive API
docs.
Or run the whole stack (app + Caddy reverse proxy with automatic TLS) via Docker:
mkdir -p data/db data/keys data/logs
docker compose run --rm app python scripts/generate_master_key.py
docker compose up -d --build
See docs/setup.md and docs/running-the-server.md for the full walkthrough (both workflows, dev vs. production TLS).
Documentation
- CLAUDE.md — architecture, commands, domain decisions, known gaps (for anyone/anything working on the code)
- flowchart.mmd — the source-of-truth flow diagram the implementation follows node-by-node
- docs/setup.md — one-time setup (secrets, master key, migrations)
- docs/running-the-server.md — how to launch it (local venv vs. Docker+Caddy, dev vs. production TLS)
- docs/guida-utente.md — end-user guide to the test UI (Italian)
- docs/guida-admin.md — admin dashboard guide (Italian)
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
76 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").
