Plan

plans/dolos-governance-drep-snapshot-timing.md — divergence A of the mainnet governance oracle replay: DRep voting powers off on 14 of 893 credentials plus the Abstain bucket, net −5,648,950,777,614 lovelace against Koios/db-sync at epoch 645. Carved out of the pot plan (divergence B, delivered on #1227, now merged — this PR sits directly on main).

Mechanism, established per the plan before touching anything

The ledger takes the fresh DRep pulser snapshot at the very end of the boundary — after ENACT and POOLREAP — while dolos accumulated the distribution from pre-boundary account positions during the EWRAP shard passes. Three boundary effects were missing, each matched exactly to a measured mainnet offset from the retained mainnet-gov store joined against Koios pinned at epoch 645:

  1. Enacted treasury withdrawals — the six items enacted at the 644→645 boundary (2,350,000,000,000 to 549fe090…, 3,847,050,000,000 across five items to script eb06997a…, total 6,197,050,000,000; both recipients registered and delegated AlwaysAbstain at the snapshot) land in the ledger's snapshot but after dolos's accumulation.
  2. Proposal-deposit one-epoch double countis_active() keeps a resolved proposal visible one extra epoch for the drop pass, so load_proposal_deposits still counted its deposit in the same epoch its refund already sat in the return account's live stake. The three proposals resolved at the 643→644 boundary map exactly: d52a4917… returns to eb48b727…, delegated to DRep b3c2a80e… — the credential dolos-high by exactly 100,000,000,000; the other two return to Abstain-delegated credentials (+200e9 inside Abstain).
  3. Pool-deposit refund timing — the one pool retiring at the 644→645 boundary (9b922e2f…) refunds 500,000,000 to reward account e6bf21e2…, delegated at the snapshot to DRep 27757135… — the single dolos-low credential, by exactly −500,000,000. The ledger pays POOLREAP refunds before the pulser snapshot; dolos schedules them for the opening epoch.

Arithmetic check on Abstain: −6,197,050,000,000 + 200,000,000,000 = −5,997,050,000,000 predicted vs −5,996,004,893,013 measured — closed to a +1,045,106,987 residual, which belongs to the family below.

The residual small offsets are db-sync's own. For every one of the 12 non-mechanism differing DReps, dolos's row equals exactly the sum of per-account boundary instant stake over db-sync's own delegator list, computed from db-sync's own raw tables (delegation_vote, tx_out/tx_in, reward, reward_rest, withdrawal, gov_action_proposal — pinned to boundary tx 122,721,644, the last tx before slot 193,276,800): db-sync's drep_distr aggregation disagrees with its own source data. All twelve, dolos-high delta vs drep_distr@645:

DRep (Key) delegators Σ db-sync raw tables verdict
8af81c6e… 31 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+1,031,457)
426d5a97… 46 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+102,618,126,820)
a4d8e2b7… 125 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+709,317,863)
0ec943dc… 165 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+78,018,220,396)

a4a01438… 659 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+3,149,880,808)
0dd84c5b… 909 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+170,762,927)
b102197e… 1,424 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+529,770,792)
55215f98… 1,690 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+1,561,620,397)
d2e0ed6a… 3,065 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+2,674,373,806)
b6f4547a… 1,875 kept of 1,890 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+2,862,499,183)
8b75035882… 9,779 = dolos exactly db-sync artefact (+55,033,171,320)

b6f4547a… is the one that needed a second rule and settles a standing question: it has a dereg/re-reg cycle (epoch 507), and 15 accounts whose latest vote delegation predates the deregistration. dolos marks exactly those 15 NotDelegated; filtering them, Σ = dolos's row to the lovelace, and the 15 sum exactly to the 422,932,052,927 the naive cert replay overshoots by. This is the mainnet answer to the PV9 #4772 stale-delegator question: a DRep deregistration voids existing vote delegations and re-registration does not resurrect them — dolos and db-sync's aggregation independently agree on the same 15-account set.

What changed

  • ewrap/loading.rsload_proposal_deposits gates on is_unresolved_at_close (the ledger's live forest) instead of is_active (the drop-pass grace); a proposal resolved at this boundary stays counted, matching the ledger's pre-snapshot refund. New snapshot_drep_of helper shared by the accumulation, load_withdrawal_targets (which now also accumulates each deliverable amount onto the recipient's snapshot DRep), and the new load_pool_refund_credits (retiring pools' deposits onto their reward accounts' snapshot DReps; the pool leg untouched — SNAP precedes POOLREAP).
  • ewrap/mod.rsBoundaryWork.boundary_drep_credits carries the boundary-paid credits.
  • model/gov.rs + model/mod.rs — new GovDistrBoundaryCredit delta folds the credits into the completed accumulator at finalize, emitted before GovDistrRotate so the persisted row, the rotated copy the next boundary ratifies with, and the published DRepState.voting_power all agree. The variant is appended at the tail of CardanoDelta — variant order is the on-disk WAL format, and every index a released binary has written (0..=63 as of v1.7.0-alpha.0) is frozen.

Ratification is unaffected at the crediting boundary: the tally reads prev_distr (the previous boundary's row), and the ledger likewise ratifies with the post-enactment pulser only at the next boundary.

Tests

  • ratification_tests::enacted_withdrawal_credits_the_boundary_drep_distr — harness: real EWRAP shard + finalize; the credit lands in the accumulator, the rotated copy, and voting_power.
  • tests::resolved_proposal_deposit_leaves_the_snapshot — deposits of proposals resolved at the previous boundary stay out; resolved-at-this-boundary stay in.
  • tests::retiring_pool_refund_credits_the_boundary_drep_distr — the refund credits the DRep leg only; the pool leg is unchanged.
  • distr_boundary_credit_roundtrip / _serde_roundtrip — delta apply/undo and serde property tests.

cargo test --all-features (all 16 suites green, 258 in dolos-cardano), cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings clean, cargo +nightly fmt --all -- --check clean. cargo deny is red with RUSTSEC-2026-0258 (h2, transitive) — pre-existing, red on main too.

Verification — testnets (plan criterion 3)

Fresh instances from shared mithril snapshots, then in-place doctor rebuild-state --rewrite-logs --force, then full-width dolos data check, on this PR's build:

network rebuild-state data check DRep distr vs db-sync (direct SQL)
preprod (epoch 306) 3,556 s 101 s, 0 issues (all five checks) exact, whole population — 0 differing amounts incl. Abstain/NoConfidence; db-sync's 7 extra rows are all zero-amount
preview (epoch 1184) 3,916 s 73 s, 0 issues exact, whole population (2,854 entries) — the network that carried the old 2953/2954 divergence

Both pinned boundaries carried real mechanism events (preprod: 4 resolved proposals + 2 retiring pools; preview: 1 retiring pool), so the parity exercised the changed paths.

Verification — mainnet confirmation (plan criteria 4–5)

dolos doctor rebuild-state --target … --stop-epoch 646 against the retained mainnet-gov instance's archive (instance stores untouched), 29,760 s wall-clock (shared machine; dedicated datum 26,206 s), cursor at slot 193,535,999. Dumps diffed against the pot-fix (#1227) baseline store — which is byte-identical to pre-pot-fix on gov/dreps, so this is also the pre-fix baseline:

Row 9 — the 14 credentials. Exactly 2 dreps rows move, the two mechanism credentials, both landing exactly on Koios drep_history@645:

credential before after vs oracle
b3c2a80e… (mechanism 3 — resolved-proposal deposit) 48,664,267,209,133 48,564,267,209,133 exact
27757135… (mechanism 2 — pool-deposit refund) 50,437,376,424,221 50,437,876,424,221 exact

The other 12 differ from drep_distr by the amounts in the table above and are recorded as db-sync's, per-credential, from db-sync's own raw tables.

Row 7 — Abstain. 9,412,108,368,313,004 → 9,418,105,418,313,004: exactly the predicted +5,997,050,000,000 (mechanism 1's six withdrawals +6,197,050,000,000, minus the two Abstain-side deposit double-counts −200,000,000,000). Residual vs Koios-implied: +1,045,106,987 — the same db-sync composition family, evidenced per-account.

Regression guard (criterion 5). epochs and proposals dumps byte-identical to baseline (every pot, pparam, nonce, proposal outcome, ratified/canceled epoch unchanged); NoConfidence and the 895-entry population untouched; committee/constitution unchanged.

One movement beyond the DRep leg, verified correct. Three pool_distr rows drop exactly 100,000,000,000 each (pool_total −300,000,000,000): the snapshot deposit-set feeds both legs, and the three pools are exactly the boundary pool delegations of the three refunded return accounts (db-sync delegation @ boundary tx). Koios pool_voting_power_history@645 confirms 2 of the 3 land exact (both were +100e9 high before this fix). The third (894ff15d…/pool1398l…) improves +600e9 → +500,000,000,000: exactly the five deposits refunded at the 644→645 enactment, which dolos's pool leg still counts via the deposit-set while the ledger's SPO power excludes (post-ENACT deposit read over pre-ENACT mark rewards). Pre-existing, strictly improved here, outside this plan's scope (rows 7/9 are DRep-side) — flagged as a follow-up: pool-leg deposit-set/boundary-refund timing.

Consumer-visible surface change (for the v1.7 release notes)

Conway-era boundary governance stake distributions change value on a rebuilt/resynced store at every boundary that enacted a withdrawal, retired a pool, or resolved a proposal the epoch before:

  • DRep voting powersDRepState.voting_power, the gov distr row, minibf's DRep surfaces, Stelae snapshots. On mainnet at epoch 645 the net move is +5,997,050,000,000 across Abstain and two credential DReps.
  • SPO governance voting powers — the gov distr's pool leg (pool_distr/pool_total) moves at boundaries where a resolved proposal's deposit was double-counted; on mainnet at epoch 645, three pools −100,000,000,000 each.

Instances synced before the fix are corrected by dolos doctor rebuild-state (no migration path, per the plan). Goes in the v1.7 release notes and breaking-change sweep alongside #1227's treasury/rewards change.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 04e14

This change adds boundary-paid credits to governance distributions, but repeated replay can apply those credits more than once, overstating DRep voting power and later ratification weights. The PR is not merge-ready until replay is made idempotent and undo behavior is verified.

…post-enactment snapshot

The ledger takes the fresh DRep pulser snapshot at the very end of the
epoch boundary — after enactment and POOLREAP — while dolos accumulated
the distribution from pre-boundary account positions. Three boundary
effects were missing from the published row, each measured exactly on
the mainnet epoch-645 comparison against db-sync:

- enacted treasury withdrawals (the Abstain bucket short by the
  boundary's deliverable total, 6,197,050,000,000 lovelace at 644->645),
- pool-deposit refunds of pools retiring at the boundary (one DRep low
  by exactly the 500,000,000 pool deposit),
- and the deposit of proposals resolved at the *previous* boundary was
  still counted while its refund already sat in the account's live
  stake — a one-epoch double count (one DRep high by exactly the
  100,000,000,000 gov-action deposit, plus 200e9 inside Abstain).

The deposit share now follows the ledger's live forest
(is_unresolved_at_close, not the drop-pass grace of is_active), and the
finalize pass folds the boundary-paid credits into the completed
accumulator via a new GovDistrBoundaryCredit delta — before the
rotation, so the persisted row, the next boundary's ratification tally,
and the published DRepState.voting_power all carry them. The pool leg
is untouched: the ledger's pool snapshot (SNAP) precedes POOLREAP and
ENACT.

scarmuega force-pushed the fix/drep-distr-boundary-alignment branch from 3b6b8b6 to b8a0d0b Compare August 19, 2026 11:16
Variant order is the on-disk WAL format — bincode encodes enum variants
by positional index. Inserting the new variant before ProposalResolved
shifted that variant's tag from 63 to 64, and ProposalResolved shipped
in v1.7.0-alpha.0: stores synced on released builds carry WAL rows that
would misdecode. Appended at the tail instead, and the frozen-range
comment updated to name the actual rule (every released variant index
is frozen, 0..=63 as of v1.7.0-alpha.0) rather than the stale 0..=38.

Make GovDistrBoundaryCredit replay-safe.

Line 1134 adds every credit on each apply call. A replay of this delta changes the completed distribution again. applied only controls undo. apply never reads it.

Record successful credit application in GovDistr for the closing epoch. Skip a matching replay. Restore that state in undo. Otherwise a restart can overstate DRep voting power and the next boundary's ratification weights.

Generate a completed accumulator for these tests.

any_gov_distr generates committed_shards in 0..8 and total_shards in 8..16. Therefore GovDistr::is_complete_for is false for every generated accumulator. Both tests exercise only the skip path.

Add a case with a matching closing_epoch and committed_shards == total_shards. Assert that credits are added and that normal and serialized undo restore the prior distribution.
