feat: enhance compact block signing failure logging for KMS compatibility (#2309)
When validators use incompatible KMS versions that don't support compact block signing, the node would log a simple error message without clear guidance about the underlying issue. This made it difficult for operators to understand that KMS compatibility was the root cause. ## Changes Made ### Enhanced Error Logging The error logging in `consensus/propagation/commitment.go` has been improved to provide clear context when compact block signing fails: **Before:** ```go blockProp.Logger.Error("failed to sign compact block", "err", err) ``` **After:** ```go blockProp.Logger.Error("failed to sign compact block - this may indicate an incompatible KMS version that does not support compact block signing", "err", err, "height", proposal.Height, "round", proposal.Round, "chain_id", blockProp.chainID, "unique_id", CompactBlockUID, ) blockProp.Logger.Info("compact block signing will be retried on the next proposal - ensure KMS supports compact block signing for v5 compatibility") ``` ### Test Infrastructure - Added `SignRawBytes` method to `ErroringMockPV` for comprehensive test coverage - Added `TestCompactBlockSigningFailure` to verify the enhanced logging behavior - Tests ensure that errors are logged repeatedly on each failed signing attempt ## Benefits 1. **Clear KMS Compatibility Messaging**: Operators immediately understand that signing failures may be due to KMS compatibility issues 2. **Enhanced Debugging Context**: Includes height, round, chain ID, and unique ID for better troubleshooting 3. **Operational Guidance**: Provides clear direction about v5 compatibility requirements and retry behavior 4. **Repeated Error Logging**: Ensures errors continue to be logged on each proposal attempt until resolved The solution maintains the existing retry behavior (attempting to sign on each new proposal) while providing much clearer error messages that help operators identify and resolve KMS compatibility issues. Fixes #2243. <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT TIPS --> --- 💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
