davideandClaude Sonnet 5 f13f6850b7 Persist the payout before broadcasting it (B-25)
_trigger_payout used to broadcast the payout transaction and only
afterwards write payout_txid and its PendingTransaction. A crash in
that window (docker-compose.yml auto-restarts on crash) left a payout
on-chain with zero record: the round stuck in paying_out, nothing for
the reconciler to resolve, and a manual retry that would have paid the
winner a second time. This mirrors B-08, which already fixed the same
gap for place_bet/request_withdrawal.

_trigger_payout now has four phases: read, build (network read only,
no write), persist the intent as a PendingTransaction(kind="payout",
status="building") and commit, then broadcast and promote to
"pending". A rejected broadcast now leaves that "building" row for
tx/reconcile.py to resolve — its existing building/pending handling
already covers a payout kind correctly, including clearing
payout_txid on abandonment, so reconcile.py needed no changes.

Since pool UTXOs aren't tracked in utxo_events and so can never be
reserved/released the way a user's own UTXOs are, two guards go along
with the two-phase write: _trigger_payout now refuses to build a
second payout for a round that already has a non-terminal
PendingTransaction, and the payout builder excludes any UTXO already
referenced by any non-terminal payout transaction
(_reserved_payout_outpoints) so a stale payout from an earlier round
the reconciler hasn't abandoned yet can't be double-spent by a fresh
attempt.

This makes a payout retry safe; making one happen automatically is
B-26, still open. BUGS.md moves B-25 to "Previously fixed" with the
fix description; the suite grows from 139 to 143 tests.

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

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").
