Mainnet and testnet currently depend on trpc.digitalcash.dev / rpc.digitalcash.dev to retrieve InstantSend locks. If the host is missing, blocked, or hangs, funding can fail after the asset lock has already been broadcast; the manual fallback uses legacy browser DAPI discovery that also fails on TLS/CORS.

This removes both default RPC endpoints and uses chain proofs for public-network funding. Create identity, top-up, send-to-address, and deposit recheck wait for the same transaction to be mined and for Platform to report a chain lock covering its block. Cancellation/resume never rebroadcasts the asset lock. Network health reads Platform status through the existing EvoSDK connection. Devnets retain their explicit DAPI stream or custom RPC configuration, with bounded RPC requests and automatic chain recovery after an InstantSend failure.

Tradeoff: public-network deposits now wait for mining and a Platform-observed chain lock, which can take several minutes. Insight and Platform/quorum services remain required. No Digital Cash endpoint is present in the production JavaScript bundle, and the artifact check prevents it from being reintroduced.

Built from ab04c2f, verified as the latest deployed GitHub Pages revision. The dependency document is scoped to this bridge.

Validation:

  • Production TypeScript/Vite build and build-artifact checks passed.
  • 132 unit tests passed, including deadlines, cancellation, invalid RPC responses, chain-lock readiness, and reorg/read-failure handling.
  • 20 Chromium tests passed. Twelve outage cases cover both networks across create, top-up, send-to-address, deposit recheck, cancellation/resume, and mismatched broadcast responses; the domain is blocked with a DNS error, zero requests reach it, and each flow broadcasts once.
  • Live read-only Chromium checks retrieved mainnet and testnet Platform status with Digital Cash RPC blocked. Funding/broadcast/Platform submissions in the end-to-end tests are fixtures; no funded live transaction was performed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The bridge removes built-in mainnet and testnet Digital Cash RPC endpoints. It uses Platform status and chain proofs for recovery, adds cancellation and retry handling, updates network health, and adds unit, end-to-end, build, and documentation coverage.

Changes

Service resilience

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform status and request transport
src/utils/fetch-json.ts, src/platform/status.ts, src/api/insight.ts, src/config.ts, src/api/islock.ts
Shared request handling and Platform status retrieval are added. Mainnet and testnet no longer contain built-in RPC URLs.
Explicit RPC and InstantSend handling
src/api/dapi.ts, src/api/dapi-subscription.ts, src/api/islock.ts, src/api/*test.ts
Explicit RPC handling now uses deadlines, validation, bounded retries, and cancellation. Public networks without RPC return a chain-proof recovery error.
Chain-lock polling and deposit orchestration
src/api/chainlock.ts, src/main.ts, src/ui/state.ts, src/ui/components.ts, src/utils/sleep.ts, src/api/chainlock.test.ts
Deposit flows share broadcast and lock handling. The fallback polls transaction mining and Platform chain-lock height before creating a chain proof. Cancellation can expose the fallback without rebroadcasting.
Platform-first network health
src/api/network-status.ts, src/api/network-status.test.ts
Platform status is the primary health source. Core RPC chain-lock is an optional degraded fallback when Platform status is unavailable.
Resilience validation and documentation
README.md, docs/rpc-dependency-review.md, e2e/rpc-outage.spec.ts, package.json, scripts/check-build-artifacts.mjs
Documentation records the recovery behavior and dependencies. Build checks reject bundled Digital Cash endpoints. Playwright tests cover outage flows across mainnet and testnet.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c9cbc

Recovery waits may not cancel promptly, and an accepted asset-lock transaction can lose its resume path when a broadcast endpoint returns an unexpected ID. These recovery paths should be fixed before merge.

src/api/dapi-subscription.ts:118-126
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make subscription setup cancellable.

The setup calls accept no AbortSignal, and the local controller in src/api/islock.ts is exposed only after this method resolves. Therefore, the caller cannot abort while getBestBlockHeight() or subscribeToTransactionsWithProofs() is pending. The DAPI client has timeout and retry settings, but those do not provide caller cancellation.

Race both setup calls against signal. If subscription setup resolves after cancellation, cancel the returned stream.

Validated the review findings and addressed both in-scope issues in 72e9062:

  • Cancellation now releases the chain-lock wait immediately even if Platform status remains pending. Late results cannot report progress or trigger submission, and the abort listener is removed after each poll.
  • The locally calculated transaction ID is retained before rejecting a mismatched broadcast response. The error still appears, and recovery can continue for the original transaction without rebroadcasting.

The regression tests reproduced both failures before the fixes. The production build, artifact check, 132 unit tests, and 20 Chromium tests now pass.

The outside-diff devnet subscription setup concern is valid but predates this change. Public-network funding no longer enters that setup path. Caller cancellation during devnet setup is recorded as a separate follow-up in docs/rpc-dependency-review.md; this PR retains its existing timeouts/retries.
