Indexer Improvements: Multi-network, Monitoring, Graceful Shutdown & Replay CLI

[kris-nana]

Summary

This PR implements comprehensive improvements to the AudioBlock indexer subsystem, addressing four related issues that enhance reliability, observability, and debuggability.

Closes #255, Closes #256, Closes #257, Closes #258

What's Changed

1. Multi-Network Support (#255)

• ✅ Both networks index independently with separate cursors
• ✅ Failures on one network don't affect the other
• ✅ Documented in ADR-010

Implementation:

• Each (contract, network) pair runs in its own async poll loop
• Independent error handling and cursor management
• Configurable via environment variables (10 contracts: 5×mainnet + 5×testnet)

2. Replay/Reindex CLI (#256)

• ✅ Does not mutate live cursor
• ✅ Idempotent event upserts
• ✅ Documented with example invocations

Usage:

npm run cli:reindex -- \
  --contract CXXX... \
  --network mainnet \
  --from 1000000 \
  --to 1001000 \
  [--dry-run]

3. RPC Monitoring (#257)

• ✅ RPC call count metrics exposed
• ✅ Expected monthly volume estimated in ADR (5.2M calls/month)
• ✅ Alert thresholds proposed

Metrics:

• soroban_rpc_calls_total{network, method, status}
• soroban_rpc_latency_seconds{network, method}

4. Graceful Shutdown (#258)

• ✅ Cursor only advanced after batch fully persisted
• ✅ Verified with test suite
• ✅ No orphaned partial writes

Behavior:

• Listens for SIGTERM/SIGINT
• Finishes in-flight batch
• Updates cursor
• Exits cleanly

Configuration

New environment variables:

# Per-network RPC URLs
SOROBAN_RPC_URL_MAINNET=https://soroban-mainnet.stellar.org
SOROBAN_RPC_URL_TESTNET=https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org

# Mainnet contracts
ARTIST_FACET_MAINNET_CONTRACT_ID=
SONG_FACET_MAINNET_CONTRACT_ID=
ALBUM_FACET_MAINNET_CONTRACT_ID=
MARKETPLACE_FACET_MAINNET_CONTRACT_ID=
ROYALTY_FACET_MAINNET_CONTRACT_ID=

# Testnet contracts (same pattern)
ARTIST_FACET_TESTNET_CONTRACT_ID=
SONG_FACET_TESTNET_CONTRACT_ID=
ALBUM_FACET_TESTNET_CONTRACT_ID=
MARKETPLACE_FACET_TESTNET_CONTRACT_ID=
ROYALTY_FACET_TESTNET_CONTRACT_ID=

# Indexer tuning
INDEXER_POLL_INTERVAL_MS=5000  # Default: 5 seconds
INDEXER_BATCH_SIZE=100         # Default: 100 events
INDEXER_OVERLAP_WINDOW=10      # Reorg protection

Running the Indexer

# Start the indexer worker
npm run worker:indexer

# Reindex a specific range (debugging)
npm run cli:reindex -- \
  --contract <CONTRACT_ID> \
  --network mainnet \
  --from 1000000 \
  --to 1001000

# Dry-run mode (read-only)
npm run cli:reindex -- \
  --contract <CONTRACT_ID> \
  --network testnet \
  --from 500000 \
  --to 501000 \
  --dry-run

Testing

# Run indexer tests
npm test -- IndexerWorker.test.ts

# Run CLI tests
npm test -- ReindexCLI.test.ts
