Summary

Fixes #1331. ReadEraSummary (gRPC v1alpha/v1beta) and the Ogmios n2c GetInterpreter query only returned eras the node had actually recorded as on-chain state:

  • Byron is never recorded as tracked state on mainnet/preprod (genesis starts post-Byron).
  • Preview's genesis skips Shelley, Allegra, and Mary entirely, jumping straight to Alonzo.

minibf's Blockfrost-compatible /network/eras route already worked around this with its own hardcoded padding logic. This PR extracts that into a shared dolos_cardano::pad_era_history helper and wires it into both gRPC query handlers and the Ogmios state-query server, so all three surfaces (gRPC, Ogmios, minibf) return the same complete Byron-through-tip era table. minibf's route is refactored to call the shared helper instead of duplicating the hardcoded logic.

Testing

  • New unit tests in crates/cardano/src/eras.rs cover mainnet Byron padding/chaining, Preview's triple-era skip, intra-era protocol-bump dedup, unsupported network-magic rejection, and the zero-recorded-eras edge case.
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features — clean on the changed files.
  • Manually verified against a live preprod node: queried ReadEraSummary via gRPC (both v1alpha and v1beta) with grpcurl, and cross-checked every era boundary against Koios's epoch_params.protocol_major transitions and Blockfrost's /network/eras. All boundaries (epochs 4/5/6/7/12/163) and parameters (epoch_length, slot_length, safe_zone) matched exactly across all three independent sources.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Era history views now reconstruct complete historical timelines, including eras not explicitly recorded on-chain.
    • Historical results extend through the current chain tip across gRPC and state-query interfaces.
    • Preview networks now show appropriate skipped-era placeholders and historical boundaries.
    • Network era metadata includes improved start/end times, slots, and safe-zone values.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Intra-era protocol changes are no longer shown as duplicate eras.
    • Unsupported network configurations now return clear errors instead of producing invalid history data.

ReadEraSummary (gRPC v1alpha/v1beta) and the Ogmios n2c GetInterpreter
query only reported eras the node had actually recorded as on-chain
state, which skips Byron on mainnet/preprod and skips
Shelley/Allegra/Mary entirely on Preview (genesis jumps straight to
Alonzo). minibf's Blockfrost-compatible /network/eras route already
worked around this with its own hardcoded padding.

Move that padding into a shared dolos_cardano::pad_era_history helper
and wire it into both gRPC query handlers and the Ogmios state-query
server, so all three surfaces return the same complete Byron-through-tip
era table. minibf's route is refactored to call the shared helper
instead of duplicating the hardcoded logic.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared era-history loading and padding APIs. It replaces minibf’s hardcoded era construction and updates gRPC and Ogmios handlers to return histories padded to the ledger tip. Tests cover reconstructed historical eras and network-specific validation.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Handle custom network magic without breaking complete-history queries.

CardanoConfig.magic accepts arbitrary values, including private or development networks. Before this change, both gRPC read_era_summary handlers and Ogmios GetInterpreter loaded load_era_summary(...).iter_all(), so they returned the recorded eras for those networks.

Now pad_era_history returns ChainError::InvalidConfig for every magic other than 764824073, 1, and 2. The gRPC handlers convert that error to Status::internal, and Ogmios converts it to a server error. This makes both interfaces unavailable for a reachable configuration.

Do not fix this by returning raw recorded eras when these interfaces require a complete history. That fallback can omit early eras that the node did not record. Provide the padding data needed for custom networks, or define and enforce an explicit partial-history contract instead of failing the request.

Comment thread crates/cardano/src/eras.rs Outdated
pad_era_history dropped Preview's Alonzo era entirely: its genesis
records protocolVersion.major as 6 (the intra-era-bump value used for
Alonzo's later PlutusV2 hard fork), not 5, so the KNOWN_HARDFORKS
filter — which assumed each era-name group's first recorded entry
always used the lower literal (5 for alonzo, 7 for babbage, 9 for
conway) — never saw a protocol-5 entry to anchor against and silently
dropped protocol 6 as a false "duplicate".

Replace the fixed literal list with era_group(), which buckets a
protocol number by the era name it reports (mirroring
protocol_to_era_name's ranges) and keeps the first entry seen per
bucket regardless of whether that entry happens to be the low or high
value of its range.

Caught by CI: the gRPC read_era_summary integration tests exercise the
real ToyDomain-bootstrapped Preview genesis (protocol 6), while the
pad_era_history unit tests only used hand-constructed protocol-5
fixtures, so the bug didn't surface until the full test suite ran.
…tworks, and clamp tip against a rolled-back era start

Two CodeRabbit findings on pad_era_history, addressed together since
the second fix touches the same code the first restructures:

- Unrecognized network magics (custom/private networks, e.g. devnets)
  returned ChainError::InvalidConfig outright. But these networks have
  no real predecessor era to recover in the first place — force_protocol
  makes their own genesis the origin, so there's nothing to pad. Seed
  the open era from the earliest real recorded entry instead of a
  hardcoded placeholder, so custom networks get their real (if
  unpadded) history back rather than a hard failure. Only the case with
  zero recorded eras at all now stays an error, since there's genuinely
  nothing to build a table from. Mainnet/preprod/preview keep their
  hardcoded Byron (and Preview's skipped-era) padding unchanged — those
  networks really did have history before their genesis started
  tracking it, which is the opposite situation.

- The open (last) era's end was derived straight from `tip` without
  checking it against the era's own recorded start. A rollback can
  leave `tip` behind that start, which would have produced an end
  before the era began. Clamp to `tip.max(era.start.slot)` so the
  worst case is a zero-width row instead of a negative one.

Note for reviewers: duplicated era-name grouping

While fixing the CI failures this PR turned up (see commit history), I found that the protocol → era name grouping (5,6 → alonzo, 7,8 → babbage, 9,10 → conway, etc.) is now hardcoded independently in four places:

  • src/serve/grpc/v1alpha/query.rs::protocol_to_era_name
  • src/serve/grpc/v1beta/query.rs::protocol_to_era_name
  • src/serve/o7s_unix/statequery.rs (inline match)
  • crates/cardano/src/eras.rs::era_group (added by this PR, for pad_era_history's dedup)

The first three predate this PR; this PR adds a fourth copy rather than consolidating. This duplication is directly related to one of the bugs this PR fixes — pad_era_history's old dedup logic assumed a fixed set of "opening" protocol literals, which drifted out of sync with reality (Preview's genesis records Alonzo starting at protocol 6, not 5) and silently dropped the era.

Happy to follow up with a small refactor that moves this grouping into one canonical function in dolos_cardano that all four call sites import, so the padding logic and the display-naming logic can't drift apart again — but wanted to flag it here rather than expand this PR's scope unilaterally. Let me know if you'd like that as a follow-up PR, part of this one, or if you'd rather leave it as-is.

(Separately: cargo deny's failure on this PR is a pre-existing yanked-crate warning on spin via flume→fjall, unrelated to this change — visible on other open PRs too.)
