In this commit, we modify the interaction between the chanCloser
sub-system and the chain notifier all together. This fixes a series of
bugs as before this commit, we wouldn’t be able to detect if the remote
party actually broadcasted *any* of the transactions that we signed off
upon. This would be rejected to the user by having a “zombie” channel
close that would never actually be resolved.
Rather than the chanCloser watching for on-chain closes, we’ll now open
up a co-op close context to the chainWatcher (via a layer of
indirection via the ChainArbitrator), and report to it all possible
closes that we’ve signed. The chainWatcher will then be able to launch
a goroutine to properly update the database state once any of the
possible closure transactions confirms.
In this commit, we add the IsOurAddress field into the config of the
chain arb. With this new function closure, the chain arb is able to
detect co-op on chain closes automatically.
In this commit, we extend the chainWatcher to be able to automatically
detect co-op closes of the channel. With this change, it’s now fully
encompassed so able to detect all types of closes on-chain. We detect a
co-op close due to the sequence number being finalized, as well as
paying to us directly in a regular p2wkh-like output.
We no longer need to hand off new channels that come online as the
chainWatcher will be persistent, and always have an active signal for
the entire lifetime of the channel.
In this commit, we modify the breach arbiter to no longer require
holding a channel object directly in order to receive new notifications
about possible breaches. Instead, we’ll contact the chain arbiter to
request a new channel event subscription.
As a result of the new architecture, we no longer need to receive a
handoff once the new channel comes online, as the chainWatcher will
always be active and watching the channel until it’s been closed.
In this commit, we add a new method to allow external sub-systems to
gain an intent to receive notifications once an on-chain event happens.
This will be used in place of the old channel signals directly on the
channel state machine object in a series of follow up commits.
In this commit, we modify the construction of the channel arbitrator to
accept a pointer to an event stream from the chain watcher that’s been
assigned to that channel. As a result, we no longer need a fresh
unilateral close signal, as the one we get from the chain watcher will
*always* be up to date.
For each active channel, we’ll now create a chainWatcher instance that
will be around until the channel is fully closed on chain.
In this commit, we add a new struct to the package, the chainWatcher.
The duty of this struct is to replace the functionality that was
previously implemented by the closeObserver of each channel. Rather
than the source of notification being tied to the lifetime of a
particular object, it’s now delegated to a persistent object that will
be around for the entire lifetime of the channel (until it’s closed).
This will serve to greatly simplify the code, and eliminate a large
class of bugs.
In this commit, we add a new function that allows a caller to create a
UnilateralCloseSummary with the proper materials. This will be used
within a new sub-system to be added in a later commit to properly
dispatch notifications when on-chain events happen for a channel.
In this PR, we entirely remove the closeObserver from the channel state
machine. It was added very early on before most of the other aspects of
the daemon were built out. This goroutine was responsible for
dispatching notifications to outside parties if the commitment
transaction was spent at all. This had several issues, since it was
linked to the *lifetime* of the channel state machine itself. As a
result of this linkage, we had to do weird stuff like hand off in
memory pointers to the state machine in order to ensure notifications
were properly dispatched.
In this commit, we aim to address a lingering bug caused by a Late
Registration of a kid output from preschool to kindergarten. In this
scenario, an output is promoted, but *after* it’s target maturity
period, meaning that we won’t graduate the output until we restart. To
avoid this, we’ll now detect this case, and bump the graduation height
by one to ensure that when the new block arrives, we properly handle
the output.
In this commit, we modify the logic surrounding sweeping outputs to be
aware of the new types of outputs that the nursery is now responsible
for. Namely: incoming HTLC’s on our commitment transaction as well as
outgoing HTLC’s on the commitment transaction for the remote party. For
the latter class of HTLC, we’ll now set the lock time on the sweeping
transaction in order to satisfy the CLTV clause in the output we’re
spending.
The utxo nursery is now responsible for two additional output types:
outgoing HTLC’s on the commitment transaction of the remote party, and
second-level claim transactions that we broadcast. In this commit,
we’ve updated the NurseryReport to now include details, so users are
able to properly keep track of the status of all their pending coins.
This new field is reserved for outgoing HTLC outputs on the commitment
transaction of the remote party. These outputs don’t have a CSV delay,
but instead have an absolute maturity time.
In this commit, rather than the IncubateOutputs method taking a close
summary entirely, we now take resolutions for each possible output
type. We do this as it’s possible that each output is sent for
incubation at a different time as on-chain conditions change.
Additionally, if we get a baby output (CLTV locked transaction), we’ll
check to see if we can immediately broadcast it. Otherwise, we may
never sweep it unless a restart is attempted.
In this commit, we address a lingering TODO: before this if we had a
set of HTLC’s that we knew the pre-image to on our commitment
transaction after a restart, then we wouldn’t attempt to settle them.
With this new change, we’ll check that we didn’t already retransmit the
settles for them, and check the preimage cache to see if we already
know the preimage. If we do, then we’ll immediately settle them.
In this commit, we add some additional logic to the case when we
receive a pre-image from an upstream peer. We’ll immediately add it to
the witness cache, as an incoming HTLC might be waiting on-chain to
fully resolve the HTLC with knowledge of the newly discovered
pre-image.
In this commit, we add a new method: ProcessContractResolution. This
will be used by entities of the contract court package to notify us
whenever they discover that we can resolve an incoming contract
off-chain after the outgoing contract was fully resolved on-chain.
We’ll take a contractcourt.ResolutionMsg and map it to the proper
internal package so we can fully resolve an active circuit.
In this commit, we add the preimageBeacon which is an implementation
of both the contractcourt.WitnessBeacon and lnwallet.PreimageCache
interfaces. This will be used when closing channels to check to see if
the know the preimage, and also to communicate to any active contract
resolvers once we discover a preimage either on-chain or off-chain.
In this commit, we add the WitnessCache sub-storage system of the
greater database. The WitnessCache is a persistent cache of all
witnesses we’ve encountered on the network. We’ll use this cache to
share any on-chain discoveries between active channels. Eventually
we’ll also use this to enforce the variant that a preimage is only to
be used ONCE on the network.
In this commit, we remove all the code win the BreachArbiter that was
dedicated to sweeping output on the remote party’s commitment
transaction, and also responding to unilateral channel closes. We no
longer need to do this, as this is now the duty of the
ChannelArbitrator.
In this commit, we add the ChainArbitrator struct. The ChainArbitrator
is a special sub-system that will oversee the on-chain resolution of
all active channels, and also channels that are in the pending close
state. The ChainArbitrator maintains a set of ChannelArbitrators, one
for each channel that hasn’t yet been fully resolved.
Outside sub-systems should send new channels to the arbitrator once
they’ve opened. Additionally, they can also trigger manual
interventions to close out a channel on chain forcibly, or just to
signal that a channel has been closed cooperatively.
Finally, (for now) the ChainArbitrator should be notified once a fresh
set of signals for a channel becomes available. The ChannelArbitrator
for the channel will use these set of signals to be notified when an
on-chain event happens.
In this commit, we introduce a new interface, the ContractResolver. The
duty of a ContractResolver is to watch a contract on-chain, for all
possible transitions, and exit finally when the contract has been fully
resolved. Resolvers themselves can be recursive: meaning producing
another resolver to hand off the duties require to fully resolve a
contract.
Each resolver also has a ResolverKit which contains all the function
closures and interfaces that the resolver need to properly do its job.
The 5 types of resolvers are:
* outgoing HTLC timeout
* outgoing HTLC contested
* incoming HTLC know presage
* incoming HTLC contested (don’t yet know)
* commitment sweep
In the future, more advanced resolver types can be added as required.
In this commit, we add a new file: briefcase.go. The contents of this
file are the ArbitratorLog. This log will be used by the internal state
machine of each Channel Arbitrator to ensure that each state transition
is fully reflected on-disk, to ensure that the state machine is durable
and able to survive restarts.
This commit also adds a new implementation of the ArbitratorLog
interface backed by boltdb.
