The flowchart's WITHDRAW node (E1) stated that a withdrawal cannot happen together with a bet in progress. The code only serializes the two *builds* through the per-user lock: a withdrawal is accepted while a bet is still unconfirmed, as long as confirmed, unspent UTXOs cover it. CLAUDE.md makes every node of the diagrams binding, so one of the two had to move, and it is the diagram. The hazard the node was reaching for is the two transactions picking the same UTXO, and that is already excluded twice: app/tx/locks.py keeps the builds from overlapping, and select_utxos skips anything already marked spent_txid. What the node forbade on top of that is spending untouched, confirmed money — so implementing it as written would freeze a user's whole balance for a block after every bet and protect nothing. E1 now describes the real rule, and CLAUDE.md's per-user-lock paragraph states it is the only exclusion between the two. Regenerated the A4/A3 PDFs (gitignored, so not in this commit). The regression test is behavioural, not a wording check: it funds a user with two confirmed UTXOs, bets (taking the larger), and asserts the withdrawal goes through on the other one with the bet still unconfirmed and neither transaction spending the other's input. A second test keeps the diagram from drifting back. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).

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
351 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").
