getBlocks returns an invalid params error when the start slot is ahead of the latest block. A client that polls with getBlocks(last_seen + 1) hits this every time it is caught up. Agave clamps the end slot and returns [] here, and our own getBlocksWithLimit already does the same for a start past the tip.

getBlocks(latest + 1)
before: {"code":-32602,"message":"start slot is greater than the end slot"}
after:  {"result":[]}

The end slot is already clamped to the latest block, so start..=end is simply empty in that case and the explicit error can go. An explicit end below the start now also gives [], which again matches Agave.

block_rpc_methods in aperture/tests/blocks.rs now checks get_blocks(latest + 1, None) returns an empty list.

Walkthrough

The block request handler now passes a range to slot retrieval when the start exceeds the computed end. The block test checks that a request starting one slot after the latest slot returns an empty list.

Changes: Empty block range handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Return empty results for out-of-range starts aperture/src/requests/http/get_blocks.rs, aperture/tests/blocks.rs	The handler no longer returns an invalid-parameters error when the start exceeds the capped end. The test checks that requesting blocks from latest + 1 with no end slot returns an empty list.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
