davideandClaude Sonnet 5.5 55d852fe08 Verify the master key against the database at startup (B-89, SEC-49, SEC-50, SEC-09)
The lifespan decrypts the key and compares a fixed sample (reserve/round pool
addresses, the 10 lowest and highest user addresses, unrevealed round secrets)
with the database, and refuses to serve on any mismatch without printing key
material. The key scripts refuse a new or imported key that would not reproduce
the stored addresses, and write 0600.

# 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](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](CLAUDE.md#commands).
```bash
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](docs/setup.md) and
[docs/running-the-server.md](docs/running-the-server.md) for the full
walkthrough (secrets, master key generation, production TLS with a real
domain).
## Documentation
- [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md) — architecture, commands, domain decisions, known gaps (for anyone/anything working on the code)
- [docs/README.md](docs/README.md) — **index of all documentation** (docs-first, single source of truth, one ADR per decision: [docs/adr/](docs/adr/README.md))
- [docs/come-funziona.md](docs/come-funziona.md) — the specification (Italian): how the platform works, with diagrams and traceable requirement IDs; it indexes every per-topic document (flows, architecture, data model, API, security, audit log, operations, decisions and limits, bug history). [docs/processo-di-modifica.md](docs/processo-di-modifica.md) describes how a change goes from the spec to the code
- [docs/setup.md](docs/setup.md) — one-time setup (secrets, master key, migrations)
- [docs/running-the-server.md](docs/running-the-server.md) — how to launch it with Docker+Caddy (dev vs. production TLS)
- [docs/guida-utente.md](docs/guida-utente.md) — end-user guide to the test UI (Italian)
- [docs/guida-admin.md](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](CLAUDE.md#tech-stack) for the complete list
and the reasoning behind each choice.
## Testing
```bash
python -m pytest # all tests
python -m pytest tests/unit/test_hd.py # one file
```
711 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").
