Resolves #1103.

Resolves #1096.

Implementation

This PR adds these routes:

  • /governance/proposals/{tx_hash}/{cert_index}/metadata
  • /governance/proposals/{gov_action_id}/metadata

The routes get off-chain metadata from proposal anchors. They support HTTP, HTTPS, and IPFS anchor URLs.

minibf returns metadata only when its hash matches the on-chain anchor hash.

Configuration

The serve.minibf.ipfs_gateways option contains an ordered list of HTTP gateways for ipfs:// anchor URLs.

minibf tries each gateway in order. It stops when a gateway returns valid metadata.

By default, minibf uses these gateways:

  • https://ipfs.io
  • https://gateway.pinata.cloud

An empty list disables IPFS resolution.

Future integration

The routes fetch off-chain metadata for each request. They do not cache or store the metadata.

Future work must integrate these requests with the off-chain metadata storage layer in:

Testing

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Minibf adds two governance proposal metadata endpoints. It fetches anchor content, verifies its hash, parses JSON, maps fetch errors, decodes CIP-129 identifiers, and wires proposal-state conversion into router construction.

Changes

Governance proposal metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Anchor metadata fetching and error mapping
crates/minibf/src/mapping.rs
Adds anchor metadata fetching with timeout and redirect limits. The implementation verifies SHA-256 hashes, parses JSON, formats raw bytes, and returns structured errors.
Proposal metadata resolution and responses
crates/minibf/src/routes/governance.rs
Adds CIP-129 decoding and two proposal metadata handlers. The legacy endpoint returns 404 when metadata is unavailable. The governance-action endpoint returns nullable metadata and structured fetch errors. Tests cover endpoint errors and identifier decoding.
Router and entity conversion wiring
crates/minibf/src/lib.rs
Registers both governance metadata routes and adds ProposalState conversion bounds to router construction and driver implementations.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9240d

The new governance proposal metadata endpoints validate identifiers and return appropriate client errors for invalid certificate indexes. No current merge-blocking risk remains.

There are a couple of confirmed edge-case correctness issues in the new gov_action ID validation and off-chain client-build error reporting that should be fixed before approval.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

Adds Blockfrost-compatible governance proposal metadata endpoints to dolos-minibf, fetching off-chain JSON from proposal anchors and verifying the off-chain body hash before returning data.

Changes:

  • Added /governance/proposals/{tx_hash}/{cert_index}/metadata (404 when missing/invalid off-chain metadata).
  • Added /governance/proposals/{gov_action_id}/metadata (CIP-129 ID parsing; returns anchor plus structured fetch/validation error).
  • Implemented shared anchor off-chain fetch + hash verification helper and added tests covering the new behaviors.

Comment thread crates/minibf/src/routes/governance.rs Outdated
Previously, the anchor fetch reached any URL and read an unbounded body.
This change restricts the target and limits the response.

Fetch security:
- Send the request only to a public HTTP or HTTPS target.
- If the target is localhost or a private address, reject it before the request.
- Resolve each host through a DNS filter that removes non-public addresses.
- Apply the same address check to every redirect.
- Do not use a configured proxy to keep the SSRF filter authoritative.
- Limit the response to 3000000 bytes.
- Apply the limit to the Content-Length header and to the streamed bytes.

Error handling:
- If the client build fails, return an UNKNOWN_ERROR object.

CIP-129 parsing:
- Require one to four index bytes in a governance-action ID.
- Reject a payload that has only the transaction hash.
- Accept a padded index for Blockfrost compatibility.

Tests:
- Add tests for the target filter, the size limit, and the ID parser.

🔵 Needs a closer look

The new /governance/proposals/{gov_action_id}/metadata response currently performs an avoidable clone of potentially large JSON metadata, unnecessarily increasing per-request memory usage.

crates/minibf/src/routes/governance.rs:582

  • proposal_metadata_by_gov_action clones serde_json::Value just to keep metadata available for bytes, which can duplicate up to ~3MB of JSON in memory unnecessarily. You can avoid the clone by destructuring AnchorMetadata once and moving both fields out.
  • Files reviewed: 4/4 changed files

  • Review effort level: Lite

Decode CIP-129 governance action IDs with the Bech32 checksum. The old
code used `bech32::decode`, which also accepts the Bech32m checksum. A
Bech32m ID with the `gov_action` prefix reached the proposal lookup. The
parser now rejects it with a 400 response.

Move the metadata fields into the response. This change removes a copy
of the JSON body. The body can reach 3 MB.

Add a test for the Bech32m rejection.

  • Same as above: if the decoded CIP-129 action index exceeds the response model’s cert_index range, this currently maps to 500. This should be a 400 to avoid treating an invalid/unsupported ID as a server error.

🔵 Needs a closer look

parse_gov_action_id still accepts tx-hash-only payloads and interprets them as index 0, which can turn malformed governance-action IDs into valid lookups.

Review details

Previously missed (1) — in code that hasn't changed since the last review.

crates/minibf/src/mapping.rs:168

  • parse_gov_action_id currently accepts a Bech32 payload that is exactly 32 bytes (tx hash only) and treats it as idx = 0 (because an empty idx slice passes validation and folds to 0). Since bech32_gov_action always encodes at least one index byte (even for index 0), this makes the parser accept IDs that cannot be produced by the encoder and can turn malformed IDs into valid lookups.

Consider rejecting an empty idx so malformed governance-action IDs return 400 instead of being interpreted as index 0.

The 32-byte form is not canonical CIP-129, but accepting it is intentional for Blockfrost compatibility. Real Blockfrost accepts a tx-only payload as action index 0 and returns the canonical 33-byte ID. This behavior is documented and covered by the parser and endpoint tests, so we prefer to keep it.
