Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Dashmate's fixed Tenderdash peers can become obsolete as evonodes rotate. Fullnodes configured outside the setup wizard can also reach Tenderdash with a null node key.

Release prerequisite: deploy quorum-list-server#14 to both public servers and regenerate the committed snapshots. Both live endpoints still lack its bootstrap metadata; the historical Core-derived snapshots are intentionally rejected by the new release check.

What was done?

  • Generate mainnet and testnet seeds exclusively from the public quorum list servers.
  • Sample eligible identities with fresh cryptographic randomness, then sort the selected peers. Duplicate entries and additional endpoints do not increase an identity's sampling weight; hosts remain unique. This addresses the outstanding peer-selection review finding.
  • Keep bounded HTTP requests, registry freshness checks, atomic two-network generation, and offline NPM release validation.
  • Refresh complete historical stock seed sets through one repository path while preserving custom lists and render-failure retries.
  • Complete missing fullnode identities with one direct helper before saving/rendering; preserve existing keys and require operators to supply registered masternode identities.

How Has This Been Tested?

Validation under Node 20.20.2:

  • Full Dashmate unit suite: 845 passing. Coverage includes QLS metadata/filtering/sampling, alternate endpoints, atomic generation, offline release checks, stock-list matching, identity persistence, and migration retry.
  • Full Dashmate ESLint passes; package pack/build passes and contains the identity helper, loader, and snapshot.
  • All eight configurations pass the real Envoy validator. Release shell syntax passes; ShellCheck has no new diagnostics.
  • Live generation fails clearly on missing QLS metadata without changing either snapshot. Offline --check rejects the existing Core-derived snapshots, as intended until regeneration.
  • Independent code review completed; forced-reset validation bypass remains supported.

Breaking Changes

No operator-facing configuration changes. Release preparation requires the public QLS bootstrap metadata API; it cannot use a local Core RPC override.

All five hardcoded mainnet seeds are dead at the p2p layer (verified 2026-08-30): four fail the secret-connection handshake and one drops immediately after completing it, and none of their node IDs appears in the current evonode registry. They still accept TCP on 26656, so nodes stall silently instead of failing loudly.

Replace the defaults with five currently-registered evonodes verified to carry a full platform sync, and migrate existing mainnet configs still holding exactly the stock list onto the new defaults, leaving custom seed lists alone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The interactive setup wizard is the only flow that collects a platform node key, so a config assembled any other way (dashmate config create, non-interactive setup, enabling platform on an existing node) reaches template rendering with platform.drive.tenderdash.node.{id,key} still null. node_key.json interpolates them literally, writing the string "null", and tenderdash panics at startup with a slice bounds error in ed25519.PrivKey.PubKey.

Fill in a missing node identity right before service templates are rendered, and persist it into the stored config under the config file lock so restarts reuse the same identity. An existing key is never regenerated, and the base template config is skipped so configs created from it do not share an identity.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds quorum-generated Tenderdash seed snapshots, consumes them as defaults, refreshes recognized historical seed sets, completes eligible node identities before rendering or saving, and integrates snapshot generation and validation into release workflows.

Final validation — Sol-only technical fallback

The node-key generation tests pass, but the new persistence path breaks migration retry semantics, and the seed migration does not implement the promised set-equality check. Automatically generated Tenderdash private keys are also written with process-umask permissions, making them world-readable under a typical umask of 022. Source: reviewer backends Anthropic Claude and OpenAI Codex; final verifier backend Anthropic Claude (exact model IDs were not supplied in the review evidence).

Source: reviewer 1: gpt-5.6-sol (agent: sol-fallback-reviewer, role: general); reviewer 2: gpt-5.6-sol (agent: sol-fallback-reviewer, role: security-auditor); final verifier: gpt-5.6-sol (agent: sol-verifier, role: final-verifier)

One or more required Phase-1 GLM Flash lanes remained technically unusable after the bounded exact-model retry. Their evidence was discarded as authoritative, and the complete selected role cohort was rerun fresh on exact gpt-5.6-sol before this fresh Sol verifier produced the final decision. No additional Phase-2 reviewer pass ran.

- [BLOCKING] packages/dashmate/src/tenderdash/ensureTenderdashNodeKeyFactory.js:28: Do not save the migrated config during template rendering
  During `BaseCommand` initialization, `readAndMigrate()` renders every migrated config before saving the migrated `ConfigFile`, specifically so a rendering failure leaves the old format on disk and the next command retries. This call to `update()` re-enters the repository while that callback is running, reads and migrates the old on-disk file again, and saves the target format version before the current template or the remaining configs finish rendering. If any write subsequently fails, the outer save is skipped, but the next command sees no migration due and does not repair the stale files or generate keys for the remaining configs. This was reproduced by throwing after rendering the first eligible config: `config.json` was already stamped `4.2.0`, while another platform-enabled config still had a null Tenderdash key. Mutate the in-flight migrated config and let the outer migration save it only after all template writes succeed, rather than starting a nested repository update.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/dashmate/src/tenderdash/ensureTenderdashNodeKeyFactory.js:95-101: Persist generated node identities with private file permissions
  This path automatically creates a private Ed25519 P2P identity for nodes that did not pass through the interactive wizard, but both persistence sinks use process-umask permissions. `ConfigFileJsonRepository.#save()` passes only an encoding when creating `config.json`, and `writeServiceConfigsFactory` does the same for the rendered `node_key.json`; `HomeDir.createWithPathOrDefault()` also creates the home directory without a private mode. With a typical umask of 022, a fresh run was verified to produce a mode-0755 home directory and mode-0644 `config.json` and `node_key.json`. Another local account can therefore read the key and impersonate the node's P2P identity or cause duplicate-identity connection disruption. Create both files with mode 0600 and explicitly tighten existing files with `chmodSync`; the Dashmate home and per-config directories should likewise prevent traversal by other users.

In `packages/dashmate/configs/getConfigFileMigrationsFactory.js`:
- [BLOCKING] packages/dashmate/configs/getConfigFileMigrationsFactory.js:1795-1796: Check true set equality before replacing stored seeds
  The length check followed by `every(deadSeeds.includes(...))` permits duplicate entries and therefore does not establish set equality. For example, a five-entry custom list containing legacy seeds A, A, B, C, and D passes even though it omits E, so the migration replaces a list that is not equal to the stock defaults. The seed schema does not prohibit duplicates, and this replacement behavior was reproduced against the migration. Compare the unique stored addresses with every legacy default so custom lists remain untouched as promised.

Not changed here, deliberately. node_key.json is bind-mounted read-only into the Tenderdash container, which runs as UID 100 (tmuser), while dashmate writes it as the invoking user, so a 0600 file would make Tenderdash unable to read its own key. The same applies to config.json, which the dashmate helper container reads. Tightening these needs a coordinated change to how the containers access the config directory (ownership or a group-readable mode), and applies equally to the operator BLS key and node keys entered through the wizard today, so it belongs in a separate PR rather than this fix.

Deferred (re-reviewed at fa93ca35): I verified that both files still receive mode 0644, but this is pre-existing persistence behavior, and Tenderdash consumes its configuration through a read-only bind mount without a host-user mapping in Compose. I agree that tightening permissions requires coordinated container-access changes and belongs in a separate hardening PR rather than this fix.

…ested write

Generating a missing node key at render time persisted it through a nested configFileRepository.update(). Inside readAndMigrate that saved the migrated format version before rendering finished, so a render failure left the file stamped current and never retried. The identity is now filled in on the in-flight ConfigFile in #save() for configs with pending changes, which are the ones the caller renders next, so config.json and node_key.json agree without a second write. Masternodes are skipped: their node id is registered on chain, and an invented one would start a healthy-looking node the network does not know.

The seed migration is folded into the existing 4.2.0 key, which reaches the same configs, and compares the stored list as a set so a list with a duplicated stock seed is not mistaken for the stock set.

Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

Verified the supplied findings against fa93ca3 and confirmed one blocking bootstrap-selection vulnerability. A local reproduction captured all 20 selected endpoints through both registry sources using valid, cheaply generated node identities; all 861 Dashmate unit tests and the offline snapshot check nevertheless passed. The prior file-permissions finding remains a separate, container-aware hardening follow-up.

Source: reviewer 1: gpt-6-astra (agent: phase2-reviewer, role: general); reviewer 2: gpt-6-astra (agent: phase2-reviewer, role: security-auditor); final verifier: gpt-6-astra (agent: astra-verifier, role: final-verifier)

Review provenance

  • Triage: critical by gpt-6-astra (effort low) — This change affects mainnet/testnet bootstrap networking, persistent configuration migrations, node identity generation, and release/publish gates, where failures could prevent node startup, alter existing configurations incorrectly, or distribute unusable seed snapshots.
  • Phase 1 reviewers: not run (skipped for throughput: 40 PRs queued, above the 10 limit)

- [BLOCKING] packages/dashmate/scripts/tenderdashSeeds.js:64-70: Avoid ranking bootstrap peers by operator-grindable node IDs
  `selectSeeds()` sorts candidates by `platformNodeID` and takes the first 20 distinct IDs/hosts. That ID is derived from the operator-selected Ed25519 public key, so registry membership and unique-host filtering do not prevent an operator from cheaply grinding identities that sort ahead of honest candidates. An adversary controlling 20 eligible evonodes on distinct hosts—80,000 DASH in mainnet collateral—can thereby capture the entire bootstrap list without controlling most registered evonodes or compromising the registry server.

  Using this head's actual key-generation and ID-derivation functions, I generated 20 identities below the smallest committed mainnet ID in 202,920 attempts, taking approximately 7.4 seconds. Adding those candidates to the committed peers caused both `generateQuorumSnapshot()` and `generateSnapshot()` to select only the adversarial endpoints.

These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.

  • Harden secret persistence with container-compatible permissions — The configuration and service-template persistence paths still create secret-bearing files using default umask permissions, and directory creation does not specify a private mode. These sinks already persisted wizard-supplied node identities and other secrets before this PR. Tenderdash reads its configuration through a read-only bind mount without a Compose host-user mapping, whereas the Dashmate helper entrypoint adopts LOCAL_UID, so the two access paths need separate assessment.
    • Follow-up: Track a separate permissions-hardening change covering existing installations, file and directory ownership, and container readability.

🔴 Blocking: Avoid ranking bootstrap peers by operator-grindable node IDs

selectSeeds() sorts candidates by platformNodeID and takes the first 20 distinct IDs/hosts. That ID is derived from the operator-selected Ed25519 public key, so registry membership and unique-host filtering do not prevent an operator from cheaply grinding identities that sort ahead of honest candidates. An adversary controlling 20 eligible evonodes on distinct hosts—80,000 DASH in mainnet collateral—can thereby capture the entire bootstrap list without controlling most registered evonodes or compromising the registry server.

Using this head's actual key-generation and ID-derivation functions, I generated 20 identities below the smallest committed mainnet ID in 202,920 attempts, taking approximately 7.4 seconds. Adding those candidates to the committed peers caused both generateQuorumSnapshot() and generateSnapshot() to select only the adversarial endpoints. The registration workflow explicitly supplies this derived ID to protx register_evo, confirming that it is operator-controlled rather than assigned independently.

The generated snapshots become default bootstrap peers and replace obsolete stock lists during migration. Adversarial peers can pass version checks while withholding honest peer addresses and blocks, preventing bootstrap for fullnodes without another reachable honest peer. Fix the candidate registry first, then sample membership using fresh, unpredictable release-time entropy; record the entropy if reproducibility is needed and sort only the selected output.

Resolved (re-reviewed at b3ae6f80): Your selector now groups candidates by node identity and shuffles them with crypto.randomInt before selecting peers, sorting only the selected output. This removes the preference for low node IDs, and the passing regression test confirms that sampling changes membership without giving duplicate entries additional sampling slots.

Initialize the Tenderdash identity path before destructuring.

Config.setOptions(..., true) preserves missing nested fields, and derived defaults only fill image values. During a skipped-validation migration, ConfigFileJsonRepository.#save() can call ensureTenderdashNodeKey for a changed, platform-enabled non-base config before a reset replaces its options. If platform.drive.tenderdash or node is absent, the destructuring throws and aborts the save.

Initialize the missing objects before reading key and id, then let the existing logic generate the identity.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

Verified the complete PR diff at b3ae6f8 and confirmed that randomized identity selection fixes the prior node-ID ranking finding. One in-scope release-reliability defect remains: greedy endpoint assignment can reject a registry containing enough host-disjoint peers; under the project's severity policy, this non-consensus correctness issue is a suggestion. Focused offline assertions, release-shell syntax validation, and diff checks passed; both committed historical snapshots remain rejected pending the documented deployment and regeneration prerequisite.

- [SUGGESTION] packages/dashmate/scripts/tenderdash-seeds.js:71-75: Preserve feasible peer assignments when choosing unique hosts
  Choosing the first unused endpoint can discard an identity even when a host-disjoint assignment exists. With five eligible identities, let A have endpoints on hosts X and Y, B have only X, and the remaining three have distinct hosts. If A is processed first, it takes X, B is skipped, and generateSnapshot throws because only four seeds remain; assigning A to Y accommodates all five. Local assertions confirmed that the same registry fails with A first and succeeds with B first. Because identity order is randomized, otherwise sufficient registry data can intermittently abort release preparation.

These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.

  • Coordinate private-key file permissions with container access — The existing configuration and service-template writers do not specify restrictive permissions for normal config.json and node_key.json writes, and HomeDir creation does not explicitly restrict traversal. With a permissive umask and traversable parent directories, persisted private keys can be readable by other local accounts. These persistence paths predate this PR and also handle operator-supplied keys, so a coordinated permissions and container-access change belongs outside this seed-refresh fix.
    • Follow-up: Track a separate permissions-hardening change that covers existing files, directory traversal, ownership, and continued access by container consumers.

Fixed in cf753f3: selectSeeds now matches identities to hosts with augmenting paths. When all of a later identity's hosts are taken, an earlier pick moves to one of its alternate endpoints instead of the later identity being dropped, so any registry that admits a host-disjoint assignment gets one. Sampled order still decides who gets a slot; only the endpoint a peer is listed under can change. Regression test covers the A={X,Y} first, B={X} case (fails on the previous greedy code, passes now) plus a five-identity chain shift.

Resolved (re-reviewed at 95aa3a70): The current selectSeeds implementation uses augmenting-path host matching, so an earlier peer can move to an alternate host instead of causing a feasible later peer to be dropped. The constrained-endpoint regression tests also cover the reported case.

I agree with the approach: generating the stock bootstrap list from the quorum-list servers, snapshotting it per release, and refreshing complete historical stock sets on upgrade while leaving customised lists alone. Fullnode identity completion (preserve existing keys, never generate for masternodes) is also right. Verified independently:

  • p2p.seeds renders as Tenderdash bootstrap-peers, so registered evonodes are valid entries and platformNodeID is the correct node ID.
  • Today's stock sets hash to 3d364d20… (mainnet) and 990e93f1… (testnet), both present in previousSeedSetHashes, so the upgrade path recognises them.
  • Live probe: testnet stock seeds 35.166.35.250:36656 and 35.92.64.72:36656 are closed, mainnet 152.42.151.147:26656 is closed. The rot this PR addresses is happening now.
  • Selection samples one slot per identity with crypto.randomInt and sorts only the output, which closes the grindable-low-ID capture.

Blocker

Deploy quorum-list-server#14 and regenerate both snapshots. Both public /masternodes endpoints still return no lastUpdated and no platformNodeID (0 of 349 mainnet nodes at the time of writing). The committed tenderdash-seeds.json is the Core-derived snapshot (no source, no lastUpdated), which checkSnapshot rejects by design. Merged as-is, release.sh fails at the generator and release.yml fails at its new first step, so the 4.2 release train stops until deployment. Approval needs the deployment done, fresh snapshots committed, and --check green in CI.

Should-fix

A documented, bounded fallback for release preparation. The generator has no path through a QLS outage or a cache older than 30 minutes at the moment a release is cut, and the release path has already been fragile this cycle. Proposed shape: an explicit operator flag that carries the previously validated snapshot forward, preserving seeds, source, lastUpdated, and previousSeedSetHashes verbatim, updating only the top-level version (which --check compares against the package), enforcing a maximum age that is the same constant checkSnapshot uses so prep and publish cannot disagree, and warning loudly. It must never relabel old data as freshly generated.

Non-blocking correctness fix

Host-disjoint assignment in selectSeeds. As already noted in the thread, greedy first-free-host can discard a valid assignment (identity A on hosts X and Y taken first as X, identity B with only X skipped). With 266 and 30 eligible identities today this cannot bite, but the counts come from the legacy address field since the Platform endpoint metadata is not deployed yet, so overlap among registered Platform P2P endpoints is inferred, not measured. Worth fixing with a regression test for the five-identities/five-hosts case, and worth re-measuring against addresses.platform_p2p once the metadata is live.

Keep as-is

previousSeedSetHashes should not be capped: dropping a hash strands nodes that skipped intermediate releases. 0644 on the node key is pre-existing and belongs in the separate hardening PR as already agreed in the thread.

I will push the fallback and the selection fix to this branch; the deployment and regeneration are outside the repo.

…g constrained peers

selectSeeds took the first free host for each identity in sampled order. An
identity listing hosts X and Y sampled before an identity with only X took X
and the second identity was discarded, so a registry that admits five
host-distinct peers could produce four and fail the minimum, depending on
the random order.

Match identities to hosts with augmenting paths: when all of an identity's
hosts are taken, an earlier pick moves to one of its alternate endpoints
rather than the later identity being dropped. Sampled slot order still
decides who gets in; only the endpoint a peer is listed under can change.

… a quorum-server outage

Release preparation had no path through a quorum-server outage or a cache
older than 30 minutes: the generator failed and the release stopped.

Add `generate-tenderdash-seeds.js --reuse-snapshot`, wired to
`REUSE_TENDERDASH_SEEDS=1` in release.sh. It never contacts the servers and
carries the committed snapshot forward unchanged: seeds, source,
lastUpdated and previousSeedSetHashes are preserved verbatim and only the
top-level version is set to the new package version, which is the field
`--check` compares. The snapshot must pass the same checkSnapshot the
publishing workflow runs, including the shared seven-day age constant, so
preparation and publishing cannot disagree about what is releasable. The
script warns with the data's generation date and the last publishable date.

Pushed two commits on top of b3ae6f8 covering the non-blocking items from my review:

  • cf753f3 fix(dashmate): host-disjoint seed assignment via augmenting paths, with a regression test that fails on the previous greedy selector.
  • 95aa3a7 feat(dashmate): generate-tenderdash-seeds.js --reuse-snapshot, wired to REUSE_TENDERDASH_SEEDS=1 in release.sh, documented in docs/tenderdash-seeds.md. Reuse is manual only, never contacts the servers, preserves seeds/source/lastUpdated/previousSeedSetHashes verbatim, sets only the top-level version, and must pass the same checkSnapshot (same MAX_AGE_SECONDS) the publish workflow runs. It warns with the data's generation date and the last publishable date.

Verified locally: test/unit/tenderdash + test/unit/scripts (34 passing), eslint clean on the changed files, shellcheck clean on release.sh.

Still blocking, and outside this repo: deploy quorum-list-server#14 to both public servers, then regenerate both snapshots so --check passes. The committed snapshot is still the Core-derived one and will fail the new release step until then.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

The PR correctly addresses randomized, host-disjoint seed selection and completes missing Tenderdash identities, but the identity helper still assumes that all nested Tenderdash configuration objects exist. A validation-bypassed or partially migrated configuration can therefore fail during save or rendering before the recovery path can generate and persist the missing identity.

  • Harden persisted Tenderdash private-key permissions — The automatic identity path continues to use the existing configuration and rendered-service writers, which rely on process umask and container-readable filesystem access.

This is a concrete security follow-up but is not introduced by this PR's new permission policy.
