feat(chunk): shadow and enforce modes for peer-origin chunk serving - #880
Conversation
Add `CHUNK_PEER_ORIGIN_LOCAL_ONLY` (default false). When enabled, a chunk
request that arrives with `X-AR-IO-Hops` >= 1, meaning another AR.IO
gateway forwarded it, is answered from this gateway's local caches or
refused with the usual not-found 404. It never escalates to the tx
boundary sources or the chunk cascade on that peer's behalf.
A peer allows one second before it gives up (`PEER_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS` in
`ar-io-chunk-source.ts`), while `CHUNK_SERVE_DEADLINE_MS` bounds our own
serve at 12s by default, sized against the upstream proxy cut rather than
against a peer's patience. Remote work started for such a caller
therefore outlives it, and the caller is running its own cascade anyway.
The AR.IO peer sources already bound forwarding depth with
`validateHopCount` (`MAX_CHUNK_HOPS`, `MAX_DATA_HOPS`), but the tx
boundary lookup, the chunk metadata anchor probe and the Arweave node
path carry no such bound. Applying the check once at the serve boundary
covers all three without threading hop state through each source.
Outcomes are exposed as `chunk_serve_local_only_total{result}`, where
`cache_hit` counts peers still served from cache and `not_found` counts
requests refused rather than escalated.
Detection depends on the caller sending the hop header, which our own
nodes do via `generateRequestAttributes`. Any other client reads as
`hops=0` and is unaffected, so this bounds fleet traffic rather than
arbitrary clients. Default is false so operators opt in and can measure
before the behavior changes.

Replace the `CHUNK_PEER_ORIGIN_LOCAL_ONLY` boolean with
`CHUNK_PEER_ORIGIN_MODE`: `off` (default), `shadow` or `enforce`. An
invalid value fails startup. `enforce` is the previous behavior;
`shadow` changes nothing and records what enforcing would have cost.
`enforce` cannot be reasoned about from a gateway that does not
originate data. A chunk cached at ingest is stored by data root and
relative offset (`ingest-chunk-cache.ts:192-193`), because a chunk
posted before mining has no weave offset yet, so no absolute-offset
symlink is written. `tryCacheHit` looks up by absolute offset alone,
so an ingested chunk misses it and is reachable only through boundary
resolution, which `enforce` skips. On a gateway that originates data,
enforcing therefore refuses peers exactly the chunks only it holds.
`shadow` measures that instead of assuming it.
`chunk_peer_origin_shadow_total{boundary,bytes}` records, per
peer-origin request that missed the cache, whether offset resolution
stayed local and whether the bytes came off local disk.
`boundary="local",bytes="local"` counts requests enforcing would refuse
even though this gateway held the answer, which is the number that
decides whether an origin gateway can enforce at all.
To classify those outcomes, `TxBoundary` gains an optional `source`
(`db`, `anchor`, `tx_path`, `chain`) set by `CompositeTxBoundarySource`.
`db` is the only source that resolves without a network call. The field
is additive and no existing caller reads it.
Also adds `composite-tx-boundary-source.test.ts`. That file had no
coverage, and the shadow classification now depends on its labels being
correct.

changed the title
The shadow matrix recorded `aborted` for any AbortError, which reads as "the caller hung up". It is not: on a live gateway, 19 of 171 such outcomes returned 502 rather than 499, meaning the abort was internal (a source's own timeout, or a losing peer cancelled once another won) and the caller was still waiting. `ChunkRetrievalService` sees a merged signal and cannot separate the two cases, so the label is now `cancelled` and says so. The 499 and 502 counts on the route split it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013q39kzoAvtHfmziGaUQjTt

When a deployment sets only CHUNK_PEER_ORIGIN_LOCAL_ONLY=true, Compose no longer forwards it. CHUNK_PEER_ORIGIN_MODE then defaults to off, so peer requests use the full cascade instead of local-only serving.

Two changes, both from reviewing what the modes actually do. **`shadow` is the wrong word.** In infrastructure it usually means mirroring traffic to a parallel stack, which this does not do: it evaluates a policy and records the verdict without acting on it. That is `audit`, which pairs with `enforce` exactly as Kubernetes PodSecurity admission does, and matches SELinux permissive, AppArmor complain and CSP report-only. The metric follows: `chunk_peer_origin_audit_total`. **`enforce` no longer stops at the cache.** It now runs the pipeline with every network source declined, via a new `localSourcesOnly` request attribute plus the existing `skipRemoteForwarding`. The old shape refused anything past `tryCacheHit`, which reads by absolute offset only, so it refused chunks this gateway holds: one cached at ingest is stored by data root and relative offset, because a chunk posted before mining has no weave offset. Those are reachable only once the local index resolves the boundary, so an origin gateway would have refused peers exactly the chunks only it has. Declining by source rather than by pipeline position keeps the local index and the local chunk store in play and still does no network work: - `CompositeTxBoundarySource` skips the anchor probe, tx_path validation and the chain fallback, keeping the database source. - `ArweaveCompositeClient.getChunkByAny` declines, which covers `getChunkDataByAny` and `getChunkMetadataByAny` since both funnel through it. - `ArIOChunkSource` needs no change: it already honors `skipRemoteForwarding`. `localSourcesOnly` is a new attribute rather than a widening of `skipRemoteForwarding`, whose meaning stays "skip the AR.IO peer layer" for compute-origin callers that may still reach Arweave nodes. `TxBoundarySource.getTxBoundary` takes an optional third parameter to carry the attributes. Additive; existing implementations ignore it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013q39kzoAvtHfmziGaUQjTt

The guidance said to check `boundary="local",bytes="local"` before enforcing. That cell is too narrow. `bytes="local"` is the cost of enforcing whatever the boundary label says, because it means this gateway held the chunk and served it. With `boundary="remote"` it would no longer be served: the bytes were locatable only through a network offset lookup that enforcing declines. Found by measurement. Over a 14.7 hour audit window on a development gateway, `boundary="local",bytes="local"` was 0 while `boundary="remote",bytes="local"` was 29. Reading only the first cell would have reported zero cost where the real figure was 29 requests. Corrected in the metric comment, the recorder's doc comment and the envs.md row.

…sible Two review findings on #880, both valid. **Operator-owned storage was audited as remote.** `S3ChunkSource` returns `source: 'legacy-s3'`, and the audit treated only `cache` as local, so an S3-served chunk was recorded as `bytes="remote"`. `enforce` permits that backend, so the audit was overstating what enforcing costs and disagreeing with what enforcing actually does. Classification now uses a named set of local sources, kept in step with what `enforce` declines. **A failing local source reported not-found.** Under `enforce` every non-cancellation error was wrapped as `peer_origin_local_only`, which the route maps to 404. A SQLite or disk failure therefore looked like "this offset does not exist". Two changes: - `CompositeTxBoundarySource` propagates a database error when `localSourcesOnly` is set. There is no fallback in that mode, so the error is the whole answer rather than one miss among several. - Only a `ChunkNotFoundError` is wrapped as a local-only refusal. Anything else keeps its own error, so `classifyChunkRetrievalError` can report a gateway fault instead of hiding it behind a not-found. Both paths are covered: an S3-sourced chunk counts as local, and a throwing database source surfaces as an infrastructure error rather than a refusal.

enforce/audit), the same idea as SELinux permissive, AppArmor complain and CSP report-only.Why
A peer allows one second before it gives up (
PEER_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS,ar-io-chunk-source.ts:42), whileCHUNK_SERVE_DEADLINE_MSbounds our own serve at 12s by default, a figure sized against the upstream proxy cut rather than a peer's patience. Remote work started for such a caller outlives it, and that caller runs its own cascade anyway.The AR.IO peer sources already bound forwarding depth with
validateHopCount(MAX_CHUNK_HOPS = 1), so peer-origin requests do not re-fan-out to peers. The boundary lookup, the anchor probe and the Arweave node path carry no such bound.Measured on a development gateway over 14.72 hours in
audit, with behavior unchanged:enforcekeepsSplit of that outbound: 80,533 AR.IO peer attempts, 31,727 chunk-metadata anchor probes, 17,800 Arweave node requests. On this gateway
enforcewould trade 8,836 outbound requests per hour against 11.8 deliveries per hour.enforcedeclines by source, not by pipeline positionThis is the part worth reviewing closely.
Stopping at the cache lookup would be wrong on a gateway that originates data. A chunk cached at ingest is stored by data root and relative offset (
ingest-chunk-cache.ts:192-193), because a chunk posted before mining has no weave offset yet, so no absolute-offset symlink is written.tryCacheHitreads by absolute offset alone (fs-chunk-data-store.ts:171), so an ingested chunk misses it and is reachable only once the local index resolves its boundary. Refusing everything past the cache would refuse peers exactly the chunks only that gateway holds.So

On the gateway used here the total is 29 in 82,566 requests, 0.035%, andchunk_ingest_pending_bytesstayed 0 throughout, which is expected: that node is not an origin, so it never exercised the ingest case. That is exactly why the number has to be measured per gateway rather than argued from one box.Verified end to end
