Layer 4/7: API, contract and operations

  • HTTP and gRPC endpoints: POST / GET /delta/proposal/execution, GET /delta/execution/current; proto; regenerated OpenAPI
  • spec/api.md, spec/processes.md
  • operator docs: CONFIGURATION, TROUBLESHOOTING, PRODUCTION, SERVER_AWS_DEPLOY, MIDEN_COMPATIBILITY, horizontal-scaling runbook, production guide
  • infra: prover URL and execution settings, metric forwarding, dashboard widgets, alarms

The endpoints are new, so existing clients keep working (the whole Rust workspace builds at this layer with the old SDKs). Execution is off unless GUARDIAN_TX_PROVER_URL is set.

First layer where the server builds: cargo check --workspace --all-targets passes.

Review only

This PR is one layer of a review stack for #510. Do not merge it. #510 is the branch that is tested, qualified on devnet and merged; the top of this stack has exactly the same tree as #510.

Stack: design (#370) → 1 storage → 2 executor → 3 lifecycle → 4 API and ops → 5 Rust SDK → 6 TS SDK → 7 qualification. Each PR's base is the layer below, so the diff shows only this layer.

Review feedback is fixed on #510 and the affected layers are rebuilt from it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added authenticated API endpoints to request execution of threshold-approved proposals and check proposal or account execution status.
    • Status responses now report whether execution is available. Conflicts can identify the proposal holding an account.
    • AWS deployments can configure a remote prover and execution settings, with execution disabled until a prover is configured.
    • Added execution metrics and monitoring alarms.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on configuration, deployment, compatibility, execution behavior, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Walkthrough

Guardian adds authenticated HTTP and gRPC operations to request proposal execution and retrieve execution status. The change also documents execution contracts and lifecycle behavior, adds AWS configuration for a remote prover, and extends execution metrics, dashboards, and alarms.

Changes

Guardian Execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Execution API contracts and endpoints
crates/server/build.rs, crates/server/proto/guardian.proto, crates/server/src/api/*, crates/server/src/openapi.rs, docs/openapi*.json, spec/api.md
HTTP and gRPC gain operations to request proposal execution and retrieve proposal or account execution status. The status response includes execution availability. Execution envelopes, error metadata, and API specifications are added or updated. Tests cover refusal responses, acceptance and repetition, execution status, and availability.
Execution lifecycle and compatibility
spec/processes.md, docs/MIDEN_COMPATIBILITY.md, docs/PRODUCTION.md, docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md, docs/runbooks/horizontal-scaling.md
Documentation describes execution request checks, lifecycle states, submission and reconciliation behavior, shutdown handling, compatibility, and recovery cases.
AWS execution configuration and deployment
infra/*, scripts/aws-deploy.sh, docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/SERVER_AWS_DEPLOY.md, docs/guides/production/*, infra/README.md
Terraform and deployment scripts configure prover URL secrets and execution settings for ECS. Deployment guidance documents rollout steps, settings, and secret outputs.
Execution metrics and alarms
infra/observability.tf, docs/guides/observability/grafana/dashboards/guardian.json, docs/SERVER_AWS_DEPLOY.md
Metrics and dashboards cover execution outcomes, proving and reconciliation durations, reservation age, and chain-observation outages. CloudWatch alarms cover operator-side failures, observation outages, and aged reservations.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8149f

The new execution API is additive and off by default. Enabling the prover on AWS can expose a credential-bearing prover URL in process arguments, and a customer-key-encrypted existing secret can prevent tasks from starting. Address both before rollout.

A rabbit checks the new request,
Then watches status mark its rest.
A prover sends a proof along,
The dashboard tracks the growing song.
The rabbit hops past logs and light,
And keeps the execution path in sight.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @docs/guides/observability/grafana/dashboards/guardian.json:
- Around line 2515-2516: Update the Grafana panel for
guardian_execution_oldest_reservation_age_seconds and
guardian_execution_observation_outage_seconds to use seconds as its unit instead
of operations per second.

Review comments at @docs/MIDEN_COMPATIBILITY.md:
- Line 226: Clarify the `live-guardian-execute-*` report by distinguishing its
manually run devnet scenarios from the devnet run described as not repeated on
node `0.17.0`, including each run’s scope; if they refer to the same run,
correct the stale statement so the documented stable-pin evidence is consistent.

Review comments at @infra/iam.tf:
- Around line 50-52: Use local.tx_prover_url_secret_arn to add a scoped input
for the customer-managed KMS key encrypting the prover URL secret, then grant
the ECS execution role kms:Decrypt on that key. Document the key-policy
permission required for the execution role to decrypt the secret.

Review comments at @scripts/aws-deploy.sh:
- Around line 302-304: Update the GUARDIAN_TX_PROVER_URL handling so the value
is not added to TF_VARS as a -var argument; pass it through the protected
TF_VAR_guardian_tx_prover_url environment variable or use the
existing-secret-ARN path instead.

Review comments at @spec/processes.md:
- Line 637: Update the definite-rejection description in the proposal execution
flow so it says the candidate and proposal are deleted, without implying the
delta is persisted with `discarded` status. Preserve the stated behavior for an
unknown outcome, which leaves the execution `submitted`.
