+# CarbonLedger E2E Test Suite: Oracle → Soroban → Registry Pipeline
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd backend
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm ci
+
+# Run E2E tests locally
+npm run test:e2e
+
+# Run with verbose output
+npm run test:e2e -- --verbose
+
+# Run in watch mode
+npm run test:e2e:watch
+```
+
+## What's Tested
+
+This end-to-end test suite validates the complete data flow from the Python oracle through the NestJS backend to the Soroban smart contracts on Stellar Testnet.
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+| Test                          | Scenario                                                       | Status |
+| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |
+| **Submission → Verification** | Oracle submits monitoring data; verify on-chain state          | ✅     |
+| **Stale Data Detection**      | `is_monitoring_current()` returns false for stale/missing data | ✅     |
+| **Multi-Period Tracking**     | Track multiple submissions and verify freshness updates        | ✅     |
+| **DB ↔ Chain Consistency**    | Backend DB matches on-chain contract state                     | ✅     |
+| **Low Score Events**          | Emit warning events when methodology score < 70                | ✅     |
+
+## Architecture

+PostgreSQL (MonitoringData table)
+    ↓
+Message Queue (BullMQ + Redis)
+    ↓
+Soroban Contracts (carbon_oracle)
+    ↓

+
+- GitHub Actions: Check [Actions](../../actions) tab
+- Slack: Notifications on success/failure
+- Artifacts: Test results uploaded to GitHub
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### 1. Submit & Verify On-Chain State
+
+```
+Oracle submits monitoring data
+  ↓
+Backend API stores in PostgreSQL
+  ↓
+Message queue submits to Soroban
+  ↓
+Test verifies data on chain with correct values
+  ✓ is_monitoring_current() returns true
+```
+
+### 2. Stale Data Detection
+
+```
+Query fresh data → is_monitoring_current() = true
+Query missing data → is_monitoring_current() = false
+Query data > 365 days old → is_monitoring_current() = false
+```
+
+### 3. Multi-Period Tracking
+
+```
+Submit data for T-30 days
+Submit data for T-15 days
+Submit data for T (today)
+  ↓
+Verify latest submission marked as current
+```
+
+### 4. DB ↔ Chain Consistency
+
+```
+Store in PostgreSQL
+Store on-chain contract
+  ↓
+Query both
+  ↓
+Verify identical project_id, period, tonnes, score
+```
+
+### 5. Low Score Events
+
+```
+Submit with methodologyScore = 65 (< 70)
+  ↓
+Verify on-chain event emitted: c_ledger.low_score
+```
+

+```
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+- **Individual test**: ~5-15 seconds
+- **Full suite**: ~60-90 seconds
+- **CI/CD run**: ~5-10 minutes (including setup)
+- **Network latency**: ~100-500ms per RPC call
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Deploy Smart Contracts** (if not done)

+   - Deploy carbon_registry.wasm
+   - Note contract IDs
+
+2. **Generate Test Oracle Account**
+
+   ```bash
+   # Generate keypair
+   node -e "const k = require('@stellar/stellar-sdk').Keypair.random(); console.log('Public:', k.publicKey()); console.log('Secret:', k.secret());"
+
+   # Fund on testnet: https://laboratory.stellar.org/#account-creator?network=testnet
+   ```
+
+3. **Configure GitHub Secrets**
+   - Add environment variables from .env.e2e.example
+   - Set Slack webhook (optional)
+
+4. **Run First Test**
+
+   ```bash
+   npm run test:e2e -- --testNamePattern="should submit monitoring"
+   ```
+
+5. **Monitor CI/CD**
+   - Check GitHub Actions for nightly run
+   - Review test artifacts and logs

+# End-to-End Test Suite: Oracle → Soroban → Registry Pipeline
+
+## Overview
+
+This end-to-end test suite validates the complete data flow from the Python oracle, through the NestJS backend, to the Soroban smart contracts on Stellar Testnet.
+
+**Status**: Oracle submits monitoring data → carbon_oracle contract receives it → carbon_registry status updates
+
+**Acceptance Criteria**:
+
+- ✅ Tests run against Stellar Testnet (not mocked)
+- ✅ Covers: submit data → verify on-chain state change
+- ✅ Covers: stale data detection (`is_monitoring_current()` returns false)
+- ✅ Runs in CI on schedule (nightly)
+- ✅ Priority: High | Effort: Large
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+┌─────────────────┐
+│  Python Oracle  │  Submits monitoring data (tonnes, methodology score, satellite CID)
+└────────┬────────┘
+         │

+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### Test 1: Submit Monitoring Data → Verify On-Chain State Change
+
+**Scenario**: Oracle submits monitoring data for a project period
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Submit `SubmitMonitoringDto` via backend API
+2. Backend stores in PostgreSQL
+3. Backend queues submission to Soroban
+4. Test verifies data appears on-chain in carbon_oracle contract
+
+**Expected Outcomes**:
+
+- ✓ API returns 201 Created
+- ✓ Data stored in DB with correct values
+- ✓ On-chain query returns matching data
+- ✓ `is_monitoring_current()` returns `true` for fresh data
+
+---
+
+### Test 2: Stale Data Detection (is_monitoring_current)
+
+**Scenario**: Verify freshness validation works correctly
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Query `is_monitoring_current()` for a project with fresh data
+2. Query `is_monitoring_current()` for a project with no data
+3. Query `is_monitoring_current()` for data older than 365 days
+
+**Expected Outcomes**:
+
+- ✓ Fresh data: returns `true`
+- ✓ Missing data: returns `false`
+- ✓ Stale data: returns `false` (verified via separate test project)
+
+**Freshness Window**: 365 days (31,536,000 seconds)
+
+---
+
+### Test 3: Multiple Submissions & Freshness Tracking
+
+**Scenario**: Track multiple monitoring submissions across different periods
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Submit data for period T-30 days
+2. Submit data for period T-15 days
+3. Submit data for period T (today)
+4. Verify latest submission is marked as current
+
+**Expected Outcomes**:
+
+- ✓ All submissions accepted
+- ✓ Latest submission's freshness timestamp updated
+- ✓ `is_monitoring_current()` reflects the latest timestamp
+
+---
+
+### Test 4: Backend DB ↔ On-Chain Consistency
+
+**Scenario**: Verify data consistency between PostgreSQL and Soroban
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Submit monitoring data via API
+2. Query backend database
+3. Query on-chain contract state
+4. Verify both have identical data
+
+**Expected Outcomes**:
+
+- ✓ DB record persisted correctly
+- ✓ On-chain contract has same project_id, period, tonnes, score
+- ✓ Timestamps match (within network latency tolerance)
+
+---
+
+### Test 5: Low Methodology Score Event Emission
+
+**Scenario**: Verify warning events are emitted for low quality submissions
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Submit monitoring data with `methodologyScore < 70`
+2. Verify `low_score` event is emitted on-chain
+
+**Expected Outcomes**:
+
+- ✓ Submission accepted
+- ✓ On-chain event `c_ledger.low_score` emitted
+- ✓ Score value included in event
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Backend Connection Timeout
+
+```
+Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3001
+```
+
+**Solution**: Ensure backend is running on port 3001
+
+```bash
+npm run start:dev
+# Or verify with: curl http://localhost:3001/api/v1/health
+```
+
+### Database Connection Failed
+
+```
+Error: connect ECONNREFUSED postgresql://...
+```
+
+**Solution**: Verify PostgreSQL is running and database exists
+
+```bash
+psql -U carbonledger -d carbonledger_test -c "SELECT 1"
+```
+
+### Stellar RPC Timeout
+
+```
+Error: Timeout waiting for transaction confirmation
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+
+- Verify network connectivity to `soroban-testnet.stellar.org`
+- Testnet may be under maintenance; check [Stellar status](https://status.stellar.org)
+- Increase timeout in `jest.e2e.config.js` if network is slow
+
+### Contract Not Found
+
+```
+CarbonError::ProjectNotFound (1)
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+
+- Verify `CARBON_ORACLE_CONTRACT_ID` is correct
+- Confirm contract is deployed on testnet
+- Check contract initialization (admin must set oracle address)
+
+### Invalid Oracle Authorization
+
+```
+CarbonError::UnauthorizedOracle (8)
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+
+- Verify `ORACLE_SECRET_KEY` is authorized on contract
+- Call `initialize()` on contract with correct oracle address
+- Check oracle address matches Keypair public key
+
+---
+
+## Logs & Debugging
+
+### Enable Verbose Logging
+
+```bash
+# Run with detailed output
+npm run test:e2e -- --verbose
+
+# Capture logs to file
+npm run test:e2e 2>&1 | tee test-results.log
+```
+
+### Debug Mode (VS Code)
+
+```bash
+# Start in debug mode
+node --inspect-brk ./node_modules/.bin/jest --config jest.e2e.config.js
+```
+
+Then open `chrome://inspect` in Chrome DevTools.
+
+### Query Contract State Manually
+
+```bash
+# Use stellar-sdk to query contract storage
+npx ts-node -e "
+import { SorobanServer, Keypair } from '@stellar/stellar-sdk';
+const server = new SorobanServer('https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org');
+// Add query logic here
+"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+**Expected Test Runtimes**:
+
+- Individual test: ~5-15 seconds
+- Full suite: ~60-90 seconds
+- CI/CD run: ~5-10 minutes (including setup)
+
+**Network Latency**:
+
+- Stellar Testnet avg confirmation: ~4 seconds
+- RPC call latency: ~100-500ms
+
+---
+
+## Maintenance & Updates
+
+### Updating Test Suite
+
+After smart contract changes, update corresponding test fixtures:
+
+1. **New contract methods**: Add test case in E2E spec
+2. **Storage schema changes**: Update `getMonitoringDataOnChain()` parsing
+3. **Error codes**: Add to error handling in test helpers
+
+### Dependency Updates
+
+```bash
+# Update dependencies
+npm update
+
+# Check for vulnerabilities
+npm audit
+
+# Update specific package
+npm update @stellar/stellar-sdk
+```
+
