domain,db: add VtxoKind discriminator for on-chain Arkade UTXOs (part of #1159) - #1161

Arkana review — sha fc48791

Looks ready to merge.

The VtxoKind discriminator is a clean additive change. The two domain fixes it enables are necessary and correct:

• IsNote(): An on-chain UTXO has no commitment txids, so without the kind check it would silently masquerade as a note. The early Kind != VtxoKindOnchain guard is the right place.
• IsExpired(): A zero ExpiresAt on an on-chain UTXO would read as the Unix epoch (1970), meaning every on-chain UTXO would appear permanently expired. The short-circuit is correct.

Migration safety: ALTER TABLE vtxo ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS vtxo_kind INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 — DEFAULT 0 means all existing rows map to VtxoKindOffchain with no backfill needed. The view recreation is straightforward.

The down.sql rolls back cleanly.

Tests cover both new cases. No concerns.

Review — domain,db: add VtxoKind discriminator (part of #1159)

⚠️ PROTOCOL-CRITICAL — changes vtxo state interpretation. Flagging for human sign-off even though the logic looks correct.

What changed:
Adds (uint8 enum) to with (0, default) and . Fixes two methods:

1. **** — an on-chain Arkade UTXO has no commitment txids (like a note), so without the kind check it would read as a note. The guard prevents that.

2. **** — an on-chain Arkade UTXO has (zero value), which would always return true (1970 is in the past). The guard returns for , preventing all such vtxos from reading as permanently expired and being treated as unspendable.

** as open enum (uint8):** Intentional design note says future on-chain sub-kinds can be added without a schema migration — this means callers that switch on the kind need to handle unknown values. Worth ensuring any switch in downstream code has a default case.

Tests: Both and have the onchain fixture case. Good.

Looks ready to merge.

Review — VtxoKind discriminator

Verdict: looks ready to merge. Stacked on #1160.

Additive domain change to distinguish off-chain batch/offchain-tx VTXOs from on-chain Arkade UTXOs (#1159 feature).

Key correctness fixes this PR addresses:

1. IsNote(): on-chain Arkade UTXOs have no commitment txids, so without the kind check they'd read as notes. The guard is correct.
2. IsExpired(): on-chain Arkade UTXOs carry a zero ExpiresAt (no batch expiry). Without the guard every such VTXO would be permanently "expired" and rejected by any check that calls IsExpired(). The guard is correct.

DB migration:

• Additive column: ALTER TABLE vtxo ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS vtxo_kind INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0. Existing rows get VtxoKindOffchain (0) automatically — no backfill needed. ✅
• Views dropped and recreated to expose the column. Down migration reverses this correctly. ✅
• sqlc-generated code updated consistently across all SELECT queries that project from vtxo_vw and intent_with_inputs_vw. ✅

One observation: VtxoKind is typed as uint8 in Go but INTEGER (int32) in Postgres (via sqlc's sql.NullInt32/int32). The conversion domain.VtxoKind(row.VtxoKind) truncates int32 → uint8, which is fine as long as the column stays small (it will). A comment noting this would help future readers, but it's not blocking.

Tests are present and cover the two new cases (onchain kind not-a-note, onchain kind never-expired). ✅

PROTOCOL-CRITICAL: human review required.

Summary

This PR adds a VtxoKind discriminator (VtxoKindOffchain=0, VtxoKindOnchain=1) to domain.Vtxo and wires it through SQLite, Postgres, and Badger persistence. The approach is sound for what it sets out to do, and the IsNote() / IsExpired() fixes are correct. However, there are several issues that need attention before merge.

🔴 Must-fix: RequiresForfeit() will misfire on VtxoKindOnchain vtxos

internal/core/domain/vtxo.go:81

func (v Vtxo) RequiresForfeit() bool {
    return !v.Swept && !v.IsNote() && !v.Unrolled
}

IsNote() now correctly returns false for VtxoKindOnchain. As a side-effect, an unspent, non-swept, non-unrolled on-chain vtxo will have RequiresForfeit() == true once #1159 begins writing them. This propagates to at least five call sites — some of which are not "sweeper/indexer" paths but round-processing and forfeit-initialization paths:

• internal/core/application/service.go:1852 — attempts taproot-script validation on the vtxo, which will either fail or pass on wrong script expectations.
• internal/infrastructure/live-store/inmemory/forfeits.go:37 / redis/forfeits.go:51 — adds the vtxo to the forfeit-signing list.
• internal/infrastructure/db/service.go:856 — expects a matching forfeit txid in forfeitInputs; on-chain vtxos will silently map to an empty spentBy.
• internal/core/domain/intent.go:117 / round.go:174 — gates round state transitions on RequiresForfeit().

The PR body says protective guards land with the write path (#1159). That is acceptable for the sweeper / SpentBy-as-checkpoint readers. But RequiresForfeit() is a domain-level invariant, not a sweeper concern; there is no call-site-level guard that prevents it from misfiring once on-chain vtxo records exist. A future PR writer or merge-conflict resolution can easily fail to add the guard before the write path is exercised.

Required action: Either extend RequiresForfeit() to return false for VtxoKindOnchain (the safest change here, symmetric with the IsNote() and IsExpired() fixes), or add an explicit TODO/compile-time note that every RequiresForfeit() call site must be guarded before #1159 lands. A test (TestVtxo_RequiresForfeit) covering the onchain-kind case would catch a regression.

🟡 Postgres down-migration has no automated roundtrip test

internal/infrastructure/db/postgres/migration/20260901000000_add_vtxo_kind.down.sql

TestAddVtxoKindDownMigration (in vtxo_kind_down_test.go) runs against an in-memory SQLite instance via newSweptVtxoMigrator. The Postgres down migration is untested at the migration-layer level; the integration run described in the PR ("fresh DB") exercises the up path only. If the Postgres down migration has a syntax or dependency-ordering error it will surface only in a live rollback.

This is lower risk than the RequiresForfeit issue but should be noted. Consider a CI job or separate test that applies the full Postgres migration chain and back.

🟡 combinedRowToVtxo still drops Depth and MarkerIDs

internal/infrastructure/db/postgres/round_repo.go:708 / internal/infrastructure/db/sqlite/round_repo.go:849

The PR correctly flags this pre-existing gap. After this change, Kind is now wired through round replay but Depth and MarkerIDs are still dropped. Any downstream code that branches on Kind for vtxos read through round replay will have a vtxo with correct Kind but incorrect Depth and no MarkerIDs. That mismatch could produce silent errors if DAG-aware logic is added before combinedRowToVtxo is fixed. A follow-up issue / TODO comment in the code would help.

🟡 No range-check on VtxoKind at deserialization

internal/infrastructure/db/postgres/vtxo_repo.go:648, internal/infrastructure/db/sqlite/vtxo_repo.go:737, and all combinedRowToVtxo sites.

Kind: domain.VtxoKind(row.VtxoKind),

VtxoKind is declared as uint8; the stored column is INTEGER (32/64-bit). An out-of-range value stored by a future migration, a direct SQL edit, or a bug in #1159 will cast silently to an undefined VtxoKind value, bypassing all IsNote() / IsExpired() guards. Consider a small helper:

func vtxoKindFromInt(v int32) (VtxoKind, error) {
    switch VtxoKind(v) {
    case VtxoKindOffchain, VtxoKindOnchain:
        return VtxoKind(v), nil
    default:
        return VtxoKindOffchain, fmt.Errorf("unknown vtxo_kind %d", v)
    }
}

Or at minimum a metric / log on unrecognised values so the operator knows before a customer reports funds gone.

🟡 SQLite down migration: DROP COLUMN without IF EXISTS

internal/infrastructure/db/sqlite/migration/20260901000000_add_vtxo_kind.down.sql:3

ALTER TABLE vtxo DROP COLUMN vtxo_kind;

The Postgres down migration uses DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS. The SQLite variant does not. If the column is missing (interrupted partial rollback), the SQLite down migration will error out rather than succeed idempotently. On SQLite ≥ 3.35.0 IF EXISTS is supported for DROP COLUMN; prefer consistency with Postgres.

✅ Confirmed correct

• DEFAULT 0 backfill: existing rows correctly become VtxoKindOffchain with no data migration.
• vtxo_vw is SELECT v.* and picks up vtxo_kind automatically after recreation — no column enumeration risk.
• intent_with_inputs_vw enumerates columns and has v.vtxo_kind added explicitly in the up migration — correct.
• Badger vtxoDTO embeds domain.Vtxo via gob; old records decode with Kind=0 (offchain) — correct.
• IsNote() and IsExpired() fixes are well-reasoned and tested.
• View drop order (intent first, then vtxo_vw) is safe — intent_with_inputs_vw selects from the base vtxo table, not from vtxo_vw.
• combinedRowToVtxo Kind wiring: Postgres uses sql.NullInt32.Int32, SQLite uses sql.NullInt64.Int64 — consistent with the respective model types.
• No cross-repo API surface change detected: VtxoKind is internal to arkd; SDKs (ts, go, rust, dotnet) have no vtxo_kind references.

Noted / out of scope (acknowledged in PR body)

• SelectSweepableUnrolledVtxos will surface on-chain vtxos if they ever have unrolled=true; sweeper guard deferred to write path — acceptable for now.
• SpentBy-as-checkpoint reader routing for on-chain vtxos — same deferral, same reasoning.

PROTOCOL-CRITICAL: human review required.

Follow-up pass — 9c37440 vs b1e0e7b. Two substantive commits. Zero prior issues to close (previous pass at fc48791 raised none).

Prior issues

None raised in the last pass; nothing to close.

New commits in scope

Three commits land since b1e0e7b:

The btcd v0.26 rename (f863e48) is a mechanical import-path rewrite that arrived via the master merge; it does not change any logic on this branch. I will not re-audit it here.

4b3a433 — RequiresForfeit() guard (internal/core/domain/vtxo.go:96)

Correct. Before this commit, RequiresForfeit() was:

return !v.Swept && !v.IsNote() && !v.Unrolled

For a VtxoKindOnchain VTXO that carries commitment txids (so IsNote() correctly returns false because of the kind check already there), the old expression evaluates true — signalling a forfeit path that onchain boarding inputs never take. The new guard:

return v.Kind != VtxoKindOnchain && !v.Swept && !v.IsNote() && !v.Unrolled

short-circuits immediately for any onchain kind, regardless of sweep/note/unroll state.

The added test case (vtxo_test.go:191-202) exercises exactly the dangerous scenario: an onchain VTXO with a non-empty CommitmentTxids slice (which would have defeated the IsNote() escape) and a future ExpiresAt, asserting requiresForfeit: false. Coverage is complete.

No concerns.

262e626 — Postgres down-migration test (internal/infrastructure/db/vtxo_kind_down_test.go)

Clean. The refactor extracts a schema interface and adds a postgresSchema implementation, so the same up/down/re-up assertion sequence runs on both backends.

Points checked:

• newVtxoKindPostgresMigrator calls newMigrator().Drop() to wipe prior state, then constructs a fresh instance — correct, because Drop invalidates the migrator it ran on.
• information_schema.columns query is fully parameterised ($1, $2); no injection surface.
• The SQLite PRAGMA table_info(%s) path remains unparameterised, but table names are hardcoded literals in the test — no risk.
• The dedicated database (vtxo_kind_migration) is separate from TestService's database, so the two cannot clobber each other.
• Hard-coded test-server credentials in a test constant is the existing project pattern; no new exposure.

One observation worth a follow-up (not a blocker): t.Run("postgres", ...) will hard-fail on any machine without a reachable test postgres server. The SQLite sub-test will still pass in isolation. If there are developer environments without postgres, a testing.Short() skip or a build tag would protect them. This matches the existing TestService behaviour, so it is not a regression here.

Summary

All new logic is correct. The RequiresForfeit fix closes a real gap: without it, any onchain VTXO that carried commitment txids would be treated as requiring a forfeit signature it can never provide. The migration-test extension gives both backends the same rollback coverage. No blocking issues.

Follow-up pass — 3bf9080…54adb21. One cosmetic commit (SQL comment rewording only). No functional change.

Prior issues from the substantive PROTOCOL-CRITICAL review (the one now marked dismissed): 3 of 5 resolved, 2 still open.

Prior-issue closure

1. 🔴 RequiresForfeit() misfires on VtxoKindOnchain — Fixed

internal/core/domain/vtxo.go: The guard v.Kind != VtxoKindOnchain && was added before the existing !v.Swept && !v.IsNote() && !v.Unrolled expression. TestVtxo_RequiresForfeit covers the onchain-kind case. Resolved.

2. 🟡 Postgres down-migration has no automated roundtrip test — Fixed

internal/infrastructure/db/vtxo_kind_down_test.go: TestAddVtxoKindDownMigration now has both t.Run("sqlite", …) and t.Run("postgres", …) sub-tests, with newVtxoKindPostgresMigrator exercising the full apply/rollback/reapply cycle on a real Postgres instance. Resolved.

3. 🟡 combinedRowToVtxo did not carry Kind — Fixed

internal/infrastructure/db/postgres/round_repo.go:727 and internal/infrastructure/db/sqlite/round_repo.go:869: Both now assign Kind: domain.VtxoKind(row.VtxoKind.Int32) / .Int64. The pre-existing Depth / MarkerIDs gap is acknowledged in the PR and unchanged by this PR — still open as a tracked pre-existing gap, not this PR's subject.

4. 🟡 No range-check on VtxoKind at deserialization — Still open

Every rowToVtxo path in both backends casts directly:

// postgres vtxo_repo.go, round_repo.go, marker_repo.go (multiple sites)
Kind: domain.VtxoKind(row.VtxoKind.Int32)

// sqlite vtxo_repo.go, round_repo.go, marker_repo.go (multiple sites)
Kind: domain.VtxoKind(row.VtxoKind.Int64)

An out-of-range integer stored by a future migration or direct SQL edit silently becomes an undefined VtxoKind, bypassing all IsNote() / IsExpired() / RequiresForfeit() guards. The new commit does not touch this. A minimal guard (switch or range check returning an error or defaulting to VtxoKindOffchain + logging) would eliminate the silent misclassification risk.

5. 🟡 SQLite down migration: DROP COLUMN without IF EXISTS — Still open

internal/infrastructure/db/sqlite/migration/20260901000000_add_vtxo_kind.down.sql:7:

ALTER TABLE vtxo DROP COLUMN vtxo_kind;

The Postgres counterpart uses DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS vtxo_kind. SQLite ≥ 3.35.0 supports IF EXISTS on DROP COLUMN; omitting it makes the SQLite down migration non-idempotent. If a rollback is interrupted after the column is dropped but before the migration version is updated, re-running the down migration fails instead of recovering gracefully. The new commit only rewrites the opening comment; the DDL is unchanged.

New commit (54adb21)

SQL comments only — four migration files, two lines each, reformatting from colon-separated clauses to prose sentences. Zero functional change. No new findings.

Summary

The one blocking issue (RequiresForfeit() misfire) and the two actionable 🟡 items (Postgres roundtrip test, combinedRowToVtxo Kind wiring) are all resolved. The two remaining 🟡 items (no deserialization range-check, SQLite DROP COLUMN non-idempotence) are unchanged from the prior pass and neither is addressed by the new commit. Both are low-severity but worth tracking before the on-chain write path (#1159) goes live.

Arkana review — arkade-os/arkd #1161

domain,db: add VtxoKind discriminator for on-chain Arkade UTXOs (part of #1159)

⚠️ PROTOCOL-CRITICAL — VTXO domain type change + schema migration. Flagged for human sign-off.

Summary

Foundation slice for the on-chain Arkade UTXO feature. Adds the VtxoKind discriminator to the Vtxo domain struct and updates the three predicates that otherwise misclassify on-chain UTXOs.

What's correct

• IsNote(): The kind check prevents an on-chain UTXO (which has no commitment txids) from being read as a note — correct.
• RequiresForfeit(): On-chain UTXOs join a batch as boarding inputs, never as forfeitable vtxos — correct.
• IsExpired(): An on-chain UTXO carries ExpiresAt == 0 (no batch), which without the guard would read as permanently expired — the guard is correct.
• Postgres migration: vtxo_kind column added with a default of 0 (= VtxoKindOffchain), so existing rows are correctly classified without backfill. The views are rebuilt to expose the column. Down migration is included.
• rowToVtxo* functions: Both scan paths updated to populate Kind from the DB row.
• Test coverage: TestVtxo_IsNote, TestVtxo_IsExpired, and TestVtxo_RequiresForfeit each get a new fixture for the on-chain kind.

Minor question

The Badger and SQLite backends aren't shown in this diff — do they also persist VtxoKind, or is it only stored in Postgres? If the other backends use a different serialisation format they'd also need updating before on-chain UTXOs are written through them.

Verdict

Looks ready as a foundation slice. Confirm backend coverage before merging the slices that write VtxoKindOnchain records. Human review required due to schema change and VTXO domain impact.

Arkana review — VtxoKind discriminator for on-chain Arkade UTXOs

Verdict: looks correct and well-structured; protocol-critical schema change — please have a human reviewer confirm before merging.

What this does

Adds a Kind VtxoKind discriminator field to the Vtxo domain type, with two values: VtxoKindOffchain (0, default — existing behaviour) and VtxoKindOnchain (1). Existing rows default to 0 via the migration's DEFAULT 0, so no backfill is needed. Fixes three predicate methods that previously gave wrong answers for on-chain vtxos:

• IsNote() — an on-chain vtxo has no commitment txids and would have been misread as a note.
• RequiresForfeit() — an on-chain vtxo joins as a boarding input, never a forfeit.
• IsExpired() — a zero ExpiresAt on an on-chain vtxo would have read as permanently expired.

Assessment

• The DB migration (20260901000000_add_vtxo_kind) adds the column with NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 and reconstructs both views. The down migration is also present and consistent.
• The open-enum comment explicitly reserves space for future sub-kinds without schema migrations, which is the right design given how PostgreSQL handles integer comparisons.
• Test coverage covers all three fixed predicates for the on-chain case.
• The rowToVtxoFromVtxoVw and rowToVtxoFromMarkerQuery functions in the Postgres layer now populate Kind. Check that the Badger and in-memory backends are also updated — not visible in this diff slice.

Flagged for human review — introduces a new VTXO kind that affects protocol-level classification.

This is the foundational PR for the VtxoKindOnchain feature. Key observations:

• VtxoKind is defined as uint8 with iota, defaulting to VtxoKindOffchain = 0. Existing vtxos default to 0 in both the postgres and sqlite migrations (NOT NULL DEFAULT 0), so no backfill is needed and rollback is safe.
• IsNote(), RequiresForfeit(), and IsExpired() are all correctly guarded for VtxoKindOnchain. The IsExpired guard is especially important: without it, a zero ExpiresAt would read as permanently expired.
• Both postgres and sqlite migrations are present and symmetric. The down migrations reconstruct views without vtxo_kind. The postgres DROP VIEW IF EXISTS ordering is correct.
• Generated SQLC code (models.go, query.sql.go) is updated consistently across both backends.
• rowToVtxoFromVtxoVw, rowToVtxoFromMarkerQuery, and combinedRowToVtxo in round_repo.go all correctly populate Kind.

Minor note: VtxoKind is described as an open enum but the type is uint8. Future sub-kinds would simply occupy additional iota values. Worth a quick grep to confirm no exhaustive switch (without default) would silently mis-classify future kinds — none were found in this diff.

No security issues found. Looks ready to merge after human sign-off.
