From 2a7c89a91e3ea9f2a8bf82b9535e23f87852fa3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sami Ahmed Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 02:02:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] bootstrap: read manifest.json for canonical snapshot + verify SHA256 DownloadUtxoSnapshot now: 1. Fetches manifest.json from the bootstrap server 2. Locates the utxo_snapshot entry (filename + expected sha256) 3. Downloads THAT file 4. Verifies file SHA256 matches manifest 5. Falls back to legacy 'utxo-snapshot.bin' if manifest unavailable Also add 2207680 checkpoint to mapCheckpoints so the canonical signed snapshot (per 2026-06-18 manifest) passes the requireCheckpoint gate.

New flow: 1. Fetch big manifest.json, find canonical snapshot entry 2. Fetch the per-snapshot manifest (utxo-snapshot-{h}.manifest.json) 3. Verify the signer address is in the trusted signers list (currently Sami's TG8f76yktTxDrT7JJymY3wVAusXiD3fVvX) 4. Verify the signature cryptographically (Triangles compact-message protocol with strMessageMagic prefix, same construction as signmessage/verifymessage RPC) 5. Download snapshot file, verify SHA256 against manifest 6. Load with requireCheckpoint=false — signature is the gate Per Sami: 'It shouldn't require a checkpoint all it should require is a signature.' This removes the checkpoint coupling that was breaking fresh-node sync (the 2207680 checkpoint gate rejected the canonical snapshot even though it was validly signed). Trusted signer list is currently a hardcoded constant.

If lag >= n, wipe the chain DB (preserve wallet.dat, onion, smsg state) and request shutdown. On restart, the daemon sees no chain DB and the snapshot path takes over. WaitForPeerHeights() polls up to 60s for at least 3 peers. 2. -allowfastimport CLI flag (default OFF) The FastImportBlockFile() rebuild path is now gated behind this flag. If the chain DB is empty and blk0001.dat exists, the daemon fails with a clear error message that tells the operator how to recover (place utxo-snapshot.bin, delete blk0001.dat, or set -allowfastimport). FastImport is now operator opt-in only — the snapshot path is the canonical sync start.

LoadBlockIndex later sets this flag to true based on dbformat >= 2 and tries to read nChainTrust as part of every CDiskBlockIndex record. But LoadSnapshot runs FIRST and writes CDiskBlockIndex records while the static is still at its default value (false). The records are written WITHOUT nChainTrust. Then LoadBlockIndex reads with flag=true, expects nChainTrust, runs off the end of the buffer → 'CDataStream::read(): end of data: iostream error' → AppInit() exception. This bug affected every fresh snapshot load: the snapshot's headers and UTXOs loaded correctly (the per-record writes work), then the post-load LoadBlockIndex crashed. Sami identified this as the 'format mismatch' blocker; the signature verification work went in first but the underlying serialization bug remained. Fix: explicitly set fSerializeChainTrust=true at the top of LoadSnapshot before any CDiskBlockIndex writes. Then writes include nChainTrust. Then LoadBlockIndex reads with the same flag set → matches. The snapshot FILE format itself is unchanged — old snapshots produced by daemons that wrote with flag=false will still fail to load (their records don't have nChainTrust). New snapshots produced by daemons that always write with flag=true (i.e. always include nChainTrust) will load cleanly. --- src/utxosnapshot.cpp | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/utxosnapshot.cpp b/src/utxosnapshot.cpp index 5f1cada..d75fab3 100644 --- a/src/utxosnapshot.cpp +++ b/src/utxosnapshot.cpp @@ -314,6 +314,20 @@ bool LoadSnapshot(const fs::path& snapshotPath, bool success = true; unsigned int nBatchSize = 0; + // CRITICAL: Set fSerializeChainTrust=true before writing CDiskBlockIndex records. + // LoadBlockIndex later reads with fSerializeChainTrust=true (derived from + // dbformat >= 2), so writes must include nChainTrust to match.

Add fLoadedFromSnapshot global, set true at the end of successful LoadSnapshot. In both txdb-leveldb.cpp and txdb-rocksdb.cpp LoadBlockIndex verification loops, when ReadFromDisk fails AND fLoadedFromSnapshot is true, log a warning and continue (the UTXO set itself was already content-hash verified during LoadSnapshot, so we have strong evidence the chain state is correct). For non-snapshot chains (full blk0001.dat downloaded, normal IBD), the ReadFromDisk failure remains a fatal error as before.

The nHeaders arg is honored only when 0 < nHeaders < chain height for v1-compat diagnostic snapshots. - After writing headers + utxos sections, streams GetDataDir()/blk0001.dat bytes into the snapshot, chunked (64 KB), content-hashed. - Header now writes numBlocks between numUtxos and contentHash. LoadSnapshot changes: - Reads numBlocks after numUtxos when version >= 2. - After the UTXOs section, streams numBlocks bytes from the snapshot into dataDir/blk0001.dat. - v1 snapshots (no numBlocks in header) still load via the partial path: headers + UTXOs only, no blk0001.dat written. The 'block verification skipped for snapshot-sourced chains' hack stays for v1, becomes unnecessary for v2. Total v2 snapshot size: ~1.9 GB (550 MB headers + 1.3 GB blocks + 50 MB UTXOs).
