Summary

Replaces the git submodule dependency with the published l1beat-l1-registry npm package, simplifying dependency management and enabling automatic updates.


Changes

🏗️ Infrastructure

  • Removed git submodule (.gitmodules, l1-registry/)
  • Added l1beat-l1-registry@^1.1.0 npm package
  • Added .npmrc for GitHub Package Registry
  • Added CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml)

✨ New Fields

  • isL1 – Distinguishes L1 chains from subnets (74 L1s, 42 subnets)
  • sybilResistanceType – Consensus type (Proof of Stake / Proof of Authority)
  • nativeToken.logoUri – Native token logo URLs

📝 Updated Files

  • src/services/registryService.js – Import from npm package, sync new fields
  • src/models/chain.js – Added new schema fields
  • Tests – Various test files updated for new structure

Testing

  • All 195 tests passing
  • ✅ API returns new fields correctly

- Update package.json to use @l1beat/l1-registry^1.0.0 from GitHub Packages
- Configure .npmrc for GitHub Packages authentication (token via NPM_TOKEN env var)
- Update src/services/registryService.js to use npm package path resolution
- Remove .gitmodules and l1-registry submodule
- Verify registry loads successfully with npm package

Benefits:
- Eliminates submodule update issues
- Enables automatic dependency management
- Works on all deployment platforms
- Supports semantic versioning and rollbacks

Tests: Registry API tests passing, no breakage in core functionality

Setup:
- Set NPM_TOKEN environment variable with GitHub PAT before running npm install
- Run tests on all branches with MongoDB service
- Node.js 18 with npm dependency caching
- Configure npm authentication for GitHub Packages
- Multi-stage pipeline: test, build, deploy-preview, deploy-production
- Uses GITHUB_TOKEN for secure package access
- Deploy to preview on develop, production on main
- Update MongoDB image to 7.0 with proper health check
- Add environment variables for API keys and endpoints
- Add MongoDB readiness check before running tests
- Configure proper test database URI
- Add GLACIER_API_KEY as repository secret (required for tests)
… timeouts

  - Parallelize chain updates: process 15 chains concurrently using p-limit
    - Reduce hourly cron from ~4 hours to ~10-15 min (90-95% faster)
    - Apply to both initial load and hourly updates
  - Fix teleporter weekly timeout errors
    - Increase timeout from 30s to 60s for weekly updates
    - Add retry logic with exponential backoff (up to 3 retries)
  - Improve teleporter logging to differentiate daily vs weekly updates
    - Add [TELEPORTER DAILY] and [TELEPORTER WEEKLY] prefixes
    - Add per-page timing and progress tracking
    - Add estimated time remaining for weekly updates
  - Replace console.log with logger in chainController
  Multiple simultaneous requests were creating duplicate update processes due to
  non-atomic check-and-create operations. This caused wasted API calls, inconsistent
  states, and confusing logs.

  Changes:
  - Use atomic findOneAndUpdate for lock acquisition (prevents race conditions)
  - Fix stale timeouts based on real performance (60min daily, 8hrs weekly)
    * Daily: 30-40 min typical, was timing out at 10 min
    * Weekly: 4-6 hours typical, was timing out at 30 min
  - Fix pageCount ReferenceError in error handlers with safe access checks
  - Add clear logging for lock acquisition vs rejection

  Impact: Eliminates duplicate updates, prevents premature cleanup, fixes crashes

  Or even shorter:

  fix: prevent teleporter race conditions and improve error handling

  - Use atomic findOneAndUpdate to prevent duplicate updates
  - Fix stale timeouts: 60min daily (was 10min), 8hrs weekly (was 30min)
  - Fix pageCount ReferenceError with safe variable access in catch blocks
  - Add lock acquisition/rejection logging

  Eliminates duplicate updates running simultaneously and prevents crashes
  during error handling.
- Reduce teleporter message page size from 100 to 50 to prevent timeout errors
- Improve validator fetching logs in chainService with request details
- Remove SnowPeer fallback for validator fetching
- Refactor concurrent chain updates to collect results instead of incrementing shared variables
- Ensure accurate success/failure reporting in logs
- Remove misleading progress counter from concurrent logs
… timeouts

- Increase daily and weekly timeouts to 120s (from 60s/90s)
- Reduce page size from 50 to 25 to lighten request load
- Address persistent Glacier API timeouts during data fetching
…cier errors

  - Separate state document creation from lock acquisition to prevent duplicates
  - Use updateOne with  (upsert) to ensure document exists
  - Use findOneAndUpdate WITHOUT upsert for atomic lock acquisition
  - Restore pageSize to 100 (reduced to 25 during high load)
  - Add retry logic for network errors (socket hang up, ECONNRESET, ETIMEDOUT)
  - Add retry logic for HTTP errors (502 Bad Gateway, 503, 504)
  - Retry up to 3 times with exponential backoff for transient failures
  - Check both error.code and error.cause?.code for error detection
  - Fixes ECONNRESET errors that have code in cause object
  - Add errorCode to retry warning logs for better debugging
… cleanup

- Implement "zombie-aware" locking in teleporterService to abort updates if lock ownership is lost
- Update fixStaleUpdates in app.js to respect update durations (60m for daily, 8h for weekly) before killing processes
- Add unique index to updateType in TeleporterUpdateState schema to prevent duplicate state records
- Clean up duplicate state records before starting new updates
- Prevent weekly updates from being killed prematurely on server restart
- Add ensureTeleporterUniqueIndex function to app.js startup
- Automatically clean up duplicate update state records on boot
- Enforce unique index creation on TeleporterUpdateState collection
- Prevent "duplicate key error" or silent index failures on existing DBs
- Add retry logic to ensureTeleporterUniqueIndex to handle race conditions during duplicate cleanup
- Update initializeDataUpdates to return explicit success/failure status objects for accurate tracking
- Improve logging for initialization results (success/failure counts)
…in cleanup

- Fix fetchValidators calls to use evmChainId as fallback parameter
  instead of subnetId for both parameters, enabling the alternative
  validator endpoint lookup when Glacier API fails

- Change cron job from Promise.all to Promise.allSettled for consistent
  resilience with initialization phase, ensuring all chains are updated
  even when individual updates fail

- Add removeLegacyChains startup function to clean up X-Chain and P-Chain
  documents that shouldn't be exposed in the L1 API
…rrors

Prevent server from running with corrupted state by throwing when
ensureTeleporterUniqueIndex fails, and wrap startup in try-catch
with process.exit(1) for critical errors.
- Add heartbeat mechanism in fetchICMMessages() that updates lastUpdatedAt
  every 10 pages (~2-3 min) to signal the update is still alive
- Increase stale timeout in teleporterController from 5 minutes to 4 hours
  for weekly updates (which take 2-4+ hours to complete)
- Increase response status display threshold from 5 to 15 minutes
- Add in-progress check in getWeeklyMessageCounts() before triggering
  background updates to prevent competing update triggers

The 5-minute stale timeout was causing API requests to mark valid in-progress
weekly updates as failed, triggering new updates that would steal the lock
and cause the original update to abort. This cycle repeated indefinitely,
preventing weekly updates from ever completing.
- Add 429 (Too Many Requests) to retryable errors in fetchICMMessages()
  with longer backoff times (30s, 45s, 60s) to handle Glacier API rate limits
- Change fixStaleUpdates() to reset ALL in_progress teleporter updates
  on server startup unconditionally, since processes are gone after restart
- Remove time-based stale check (60min/8h thresholds) that left zombie
  in_progress states blocking new updates

This fixes weekly updates that never complete due to:
1. 429 rate limit errors causing immediate failure instead of retry
2. Zombie in_progress states surviving server restarts
- Remove localhost URLs from production CORS configuration
- Remove deprecated useNewUrlParser and useUnifiedTopology MongoDB options
- Remove duplicate slug indexes from blogPost and author schemas
  (already created by unique: true constraint)

Fixes Mongoose duplicate index warnings and MongoDB driver deprecation warnings.
- Fix chainService evmChainId casting error by only checking numeric IDs
- Add chainId field to Chain model and services as alias for blockchainId
- Update chainModel tests to use blockchainId as primary field
- Fix TPS route handlers to properly handle null/undefined data
- Update test assertions to match actual backend behavior
- Created populate-native-tokens.js script
- Fetches chain data from Glacier API
- Migrates assets[] to nativeToken{} schema
- Populates missing descriptions and RPC URLs
- Added npm script: populate-tokens
- Updated Mongoose model: replaced assets[] with nativeToken{}
- Updated registryService: parse nativeToken from registry data
- Updated database sync: store nativeToken instead of assets

Schema change:
- Old: assets: [{symbol, name, decimals}]
- New: nativeToken: {symbol, name, decimals}
- Update Node.js version from 18 to 20 to meet package requirements
- Add packages:read permission to access GitHub Packages
- Resolves 401 authentication errors and unsupported engine warnings
- Replace GITHUB_TOKEN with NPM_TOKEN for package access
- Fixes 401 authentication errors in workflow
- Package is now public, no auth token required
- Simplified npm configuration for GitHub Packages
- Published l1beat-l1-registry to npm registry
- Remove GitHub Packages authentication requirement
- No tokens needed - works everywhere automatically
