Summary

Follow-up to #16. A miner that reruns run-v2 for a round that is already UPLOADED now gets a clean no-op (exit 0, {"status": "UPLOADED"}) instead of HTTP 500, and the multi-round harness fails if its mid-round SIGKILL did not hit a staged job.

Why

After #16 the crash-resume case passes (job re-emission is idempotent), but a rerun after UPLOADED still failed: POST /v2/relay-receipts returned 500 because the master asked the relay for a second live retrieval of the same object (POST /v1/retrievals -> 400) and relay_receipt_v2 let the httpx.HTTPStatusError escape. No double send, no state change, but a 500 and rc=2 for a harmless restart. CodeRabbit also noted (PR #16, minor) that the SIGKILL probe could pass without having killed anything.

What changed

  • src/hypertrain/challenge/store.py relay_receipt_v2: a repeated receipt for the same (run_id, w, hotkey) returns the stored master acceptance without calling the relay; a different receipt for an accepted key stays refused (409 RELAY_RECEIPT_CONFLICT); a relay HTTPStatusError is mapped to a clean 502 instead of an unhandled 500. First submissions are unchanged.
  • tests/challenge/test_relay_receipt_idempotent.py — repeat receipt, conflicting receipt, relay 400 mapping, first-submission behaviour.
  • scripts/mine_multi_round_v2.py — the after_upload probe now requires rc == 0; the kill probe raises unless the process was alive and the island job staged. tests/test_mine_multi_round_v2.py proves the guard fires.
  • docs/network-v2.md — one sentence.

How it was tested

scripts/mine_multi_round_v2.py   # PASS, 4 rounds via CLI, miner_weight 250000.0
  restart.after_upload      = {rc: 0, delta_unchanged: true, relay_receipts_unchanged: true, stdout: {"status": "UPLOADED"}}
  restart.kill_mid_round    = {killed_after_job_staged: true, delta_recorded: true, resume: "UPLOADED"}
scripts/check-fast.sh   # PASS
scripts/check-proof.sh  # PASS
ruff check / ruff format --check: clean; mypy (repo gate, 130 files): no issues
pytest test_relay_receipt_idempotent + test_mine_multi_round_v2 + test_island_job_idempotent: 13 passed

Before the fix the same run gave after_upload.rc == 2 (HTTP 500). Not reviewed by Lens yet.

Risk and rollback

Only relay_receipt_v2 changes, and only for a receipt that is already recorded or for a relay error that used to be a 500. Rollback: revert the merge commit.

  • Bug Fixes

    • Rerunning an already uploaded round now completes successfully and preserves its original acceptance.
    • Submitting the same relay receipt again no longer triggers duplicate retrieval or acceptance.
    • Conflicting receipts for the same round are rejected with 409 RELAY_RECEIPT_CONFLICT.
    • Relay custody and retrieval failures now return clear 502 errors.
    • Multi-round interruption checks now fail immediately when the expected job was not staged.
  • Documentation

    • Updated run-v2 guidance to describe rerun, receipt conflict, and successful idempotent submission behavior.

A miner rerunning run-v2 for a round already UPLOADED resubmits the same
relay receipt. relay_receipt_v2 then issued a fresh RetrievalRequest
(new request_id and nonce), and the relay refused it with 400: its
retrieve() commit raises RelayError "one outstanding challenge per exact
object/key" because the first retrieval of the same delta still has
deadline_beacon (now+10) >= the serve beacon. The relay maps RelayError
to 400; the master let the httpx.HTTPStatusError escape as a 500.

The 400 is a correct relay refusal, not a relay bug, so the relay is
unchanged. After the receipt is verified, the master now looks up its
master-acceptance for (run_id, w, hotkey): the same receipt gets the
stored signed acceptance back without contacting the relay; a different
receipt gets 409 RELAY_RECEIPT_CONFLICT. A first submission follows the
unchanged path. Any HTTP status error from the relay acks or retrieval
call now maps to a 502 ChallengeError instead of a 500.

Rejected: making the relay idempotent for a new signed request. The
master never reuses a request id, and the first answer stays
authoritative.

The after_upload probe only checked that the delta and relay receipts
did not change, so it passed while the rerun exited 2 on the master's
500. Now that a repeated receipt is answered idempotently, the probe
also requires rc 0.

The kill-mid-round probe recorded killed_after_job_staged but never
checked it. If run-v2 finished before the poll saw the island-job row,
or the 120 s deadline passed before staging, the rerun returned
UPLOADED and the harness reported PASS without testing a resume.

Raise before the rerun unless the process was alive when killed and
the island-job row exists; main() records it and exits 1. The unit
test stubs a run-v2 that exits before staging.

📝 Walkthrough

Relay receipt submissions now reuse an existing acceptance for the same receipt and reject a different receipt for the same round and miner. The multi-round probe checks also verify successful no-op reruns and staged island jobs.

Changes: Relay Receipt Idempotency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Receipt acceptance and retry handling
src/hypertrain/challenge/store.py, docs/network-v2.md
The master checks for an existing acceptance before relay retrieval and checks again after retrieval. Matching receipts return the original acceptance; a different receipt conflicts. Relay HTTP status failures become 502 errors. The documentation describes these retry outcomes.
Receipt retry and concurrency tests
tests/challenge/test_relay_receipt_idempotent.py
Tests cover duplicate submissions, conflicting receipts, relay retrieval failures, and concurrent acceptance outcomes.

Multi-round Probe Checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rerun and kill-probe validation
scripts/mine_multi_round_v2.py, tests/test_mine_multi_round_v2.py
The post-upload rerun check now requires a zero exit code and unchanged delta and relay receipts. The kill probe fails if no staged island-job record is confirmed, with a test for that case.

Worker Test Import Setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Import worker before traps
tests/challenge/test_capacity_outer_v2.py
The metadata-only opening test imports the auditor worker before applying tensor-operation traps.

Repeated submissions of the same relay receipt now succeed without contacting the relay, and conflicting receipts are rejected cleanly. If the relay is unreachable or returns corrupt data during a first submission, miners still get an opaque server error instead of a clear relay-failure response. This is a small follow-up and is safe to merge with awareness.

…ond acceptance

relay_receipt_v2 looked up existing master-acceptance records only in
its first transaction, then left it to call the relay over HTTP. A
submission delayed on the relay (past the ~30 s challenge window) could
see no acceptance there, while a concurrent submission for the same
(run_id, w, hotkey) was accepted meanwhile; its second transaction then
wrote a second master-acceptance with a different received_drand.

The lookup moves into _accepted_receipt_v2 and runs at the start of
both transactions. _tx is BEGIN IMMEDIATE under the store lock, so the
re-check is atomic with the write: the same receipt returns the stored
acceptance, another receipt raises 409 RELAY_RECEIPT_CONFLICT. First
transaction and first submissions are unchanged.

Tests wrap RelayClient.retrieval so submission A is accepted while B
awaits the relay, against the real challenge store and relay. Before
the fix both write two acceptance rows; after, one row, with B getting
the stored acceptance (same receipt) or 409 (different receipt).

…nsors

test_prepared_profile_opening_metadata_without_tensor_calls patches
hypertrain.auditor.replay.unpack_state (and pack_state, init_params,
...) with `forbidden`. ChallengeStore imports hypertrain.auditor.worker
lazily; for the audit-honest param that import happens inside the trap.
When it is the first import in the process, worker.py's module-level
`from hypertrain.auditor.replay import unpack_state` binds `forbidden`.
monkeypatch restores replay but not worker's copy, so a later
test_v2_weights_bridge.py run hits it in execute_audit_v2 and fails
with "opening allocated tensors" (the "This portal is not running"
teardown error is a consequence).

Repro (host): pytest test_capacity_outer_v2.py test_v2_weights_bridge.py
red before, green after. Relay receipt file not needed for the failure,
so a leaked anyio portal there is ruled out. A sys.modules probe over
all 64 params shows auditor.worker is the only cold import that
captures a trapped name. CI sharding only exposed it.

Pre-importing the worker binds the real functions; trap unchanged.
No subprocess guard: it would test Python import semantics, not this
test; the file pair is the regression proof.
