reconcile_once abandoned a row when the *active* server's history lacked its txid:
after 120s for `building` (which a restart onto a different server makes likely),
after 6h for `pending`, and all at once after a forward clock jump. It re-checked the
status but not the txid, so it raced the bumper, and a `failed` row was never looked at
again.
- The reconciler asks every server (ElectrumListener.get_histories, active + others) for
the history of the row's address and looks for every txid of the row. Present on any
server -> promoted (adopting the version found). Absent is only "no server of the
quorum knows it" and needs the active server plus the quorum minimum of the others to
have answered; even then nothing is released without proof:
(a) an input spent in a block by a transaction that is none of the row's versions,
agreed by a strict majority of a quorum of the other servers (confirmed_spender), or
(b) a rebroadcast of the latest raw tx to every server (rebroadcast_everywhere)
refused by all of them, explicitly, for missing/spent inputs.
Accepted or "already known" by any server means alive; a fee refusal is not proof
(`building` -> `pending` for the bumper, `pending` untouched); too few answers or
anything else leaves the row alone. failure_reason names the proof.
- The write re-reads status *and* current_txid under begin_immediate (TX-26).
- pending_transactions.failed_at (set by _abandon and _release_failed_withdrawal) starts
a 14-day watch: a failed row that a majority of the other servers (at least the quorum
minimum) list in a block becomes `confirmed`, writes pending_tx_resurrected once and
pauses the lottery with paused_reason `resurrected_tx`; linked rows are not corrected.
The confirmation is by quorum of histories for now; merkle proofs come with B-83.
- round_config.paused_reason (migration b7d2e41c9a05, with the failed_at one): `operator`
from POST /admin/pause (which accepts an optional `note` and never overwrites an
automatic reason), cleared by resume, which logs the reason it lifted; exposed on
/admin/config and GET /rounds/current. rounds/pause.py:pause_automatically is the
system's way in.
- PendingTransactionReconciler takes the listener as `network`; with none it can promote
but never abandon.
Tests changed because the spec changed: the three reconciler tests that expect an
abandonment (and the one in test_tx_versions) now supply a network that proves the
transaction is gone.

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
- CLAUDE.md — architecture, commands, domain decisions, known gaps (for anyone/anything working on the code)
- docs/README.md — index of all documentation (docs-first, single source of truth, one ADR per decision: docs/adr/)
- 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 describes how a change goes from the spec to the code
- docs/setup.md — one-time setup (secrets, master key, migrations)
- docs/running-the-server.md — how to launch it with 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
516 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").
