feat: add event faucet claim codes

[yyswhsccc]

BCOS Checklist (Required For Non-Doc PRs)

• Add a tier label: BCOS-L1 is applied.
• No new code files added; existing faucet files were updated.
• Provide test evidence (commands + output or screenshots)

What Changed

• Adds admin-gated /faucet/event-codes creation for organizer-generated one-time event claim codes.
• Adds opt-in /faucet/event-claim redemption with wallet validation, expiration checks, one-time completion enforcement, and transfer status tracking.
• Records event redemptions in a separate event_claims ledger so event payouts do not affect normal /faucet/drip rate limits or /faucet/status drip statistics.
• Sends event payouts with a deterministic node idempotency key, releases the code for retry when the transfer call fails before completion, and keeps post-transfer finalization failures non-retryable to avoid duplicate payout attempts.
• Marks event claims as reserved before transfer start, releases only stale pre-transfer reservations after pending_claim_ttl_seconds, and keeps transfer-started claims locked for reconciliation.
• Retries rare generated event-code collisions instead of failing an organizer batch on the first duplicate token.
• Adds idempotent migration handling for existing drip_requests columns under concurrent startup.
• Documents the event-code configuration and API flow.
• Adds tests for event-code schema, admin authorization, successful claim, duplicate claim rejection, expired code rejection, transfer-failure retry safety, stale reservation recovery, generated-code collision retry, event/drip isolation, and migration race handling.

Why It Matters

Fixes #2340 by giving community event organizers a bounded faucet flow: create claim codes, distribute them to participants, allow one successful wallet claim per code, and expire unused codes without changing regular faucet drip behavior.

Touched Files / Subsystems

• faucet_service/faucet_service.py: event-code config, SQLite schema, creation endpoint, claim endpoint, isolated event claim ledger, retry/finalization handling, and transfer helper.
• faucet_service/test_faucet_service.py: schema and API regression tests for event codes.
• faucet_service/README.md: configuration and endpoint documentation.

Testing / Evidence

• .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -m pytest -q faucet_service/test_faucet_service.py -> 59 passed.
• .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -m py_compile faucet_service/faucet_service.py faucet_service/test_faucet_service.py -> passed.
• git diff --check upstream/main...HEAD -> passed.
• python3 /Users/ssr/.codex/bounty-radar/automation/scan_hidden_unicode.py --repo . --changed-files-from-git upstream/main...HEAD -> passed, 3 paths scanned, no findings.

Scope / Risk

This keeps the existing faucet drip behavior unchanged and adds event-code redemption as a separate, opt-in admin-gated flow. Real transfers still use the existing faucet transfer configuration; mock mode returns tx_hash: null for local testing.

[qingfeng312]

I found a blocker in the event-code redemption flow.

claim_event_code() performs the external faucet transfer while the SQLite transaction is still open, before the code is marked claimed and before the drip_requests row is inserted. If _perform_faucet_transfer() succeeds but the later database update/insert/commit fails, the exception handler rolls the SQLite transaction back and returns 500, but the token transfer has already happened. The event code remains unclaimed and can be retried, so a transient DB failure can double-spend event faucet funds.

The transfer should not be committed externally before the local one-time claim state is made durable, or the code needs a durable pending/finalization state that prevents retries after a transfer attempt succeeds.

🔍 Tri-brain review — changes requested (not merging yet — money path)

Clean (no smuggle), but money-safety blockers:

• [BLOCKING] NaN mint: amount accepts any positive int/float with no finite check or upper bound, and NaN passes the amount <= 0 guard → an authorized event-token user can mint an arbitrarily large (or NaN) faucet payout. Add math.isfinite + a hard max.
• [BLOCKING] Incomplete kill switch: event_codes.enabled gates POST /event-codes (creation) but POST /event-claim still redeems + transfers when disabled. Gate redemption too.
• [SHOULD-FIX] Code burned on transfer failure: the code is marked claimed + committed before _perform_faucet_transfer() runs — a transfer outage burns the one-time code with no payout and no retry. Commit the claim only after a confirmed transfer (or make it reversible/idempotent). (Same pre-commit-before-irreversible pattern we just fixed in the OTC bridge.)
• [SHOULD-FIX] invalid claims take BEGIN IMMEDIATE before proving the code exists → write-lock DoS; add rate limiting.

Please address the two blockers (NaN mint + kill switch) and I'll re-review.

⏸️ Faucet hold — drain risk + missing migration

Reviewed (Grok + Brain-3; Codex's content filter refused the diff, so this was a reduced-brain pass — extra reason to be careful on a money-out path). For a faucet that pays out RTC, these need fixing first:

[BLOCKING] Transfer-then-update can drain the faucet. The payout transfers RTC and then records the claim. If the process dies (or the node ack is lost) between the transfer and the DB write, the claim isn't recorded — a retry pays again. With event claim codes this is an attacker-exploitable drain. Make it idempotent: record/reserve the claim under a unique key (claim code + recipient) before the transfer, or key the transfer with an idempotency key (like the OTC bridge's otc_payout:<id>) so retries dedup server-side.

[BLOCKING] No migration for the new drip_requests columns. The event path reads/writes columns that aren't created by an ALTER/CREATE in this diff — an existing faucet DB will error at runtime. Add an idempotent migration.

[SHOULD-FIX] Event claims share drip_requests with normal faucet drips — coupling the two rate-limit/claim semantics. Consider a separate table or a clear discriminator so an event claim can't interfere with (or be exploited via) the normal drip path.

Good feature — just needs the payout to be crash-/retry-safe and the schema migrated before it touches real RTC.

@Scottcjn Maintenance update: I pushed a5c7c04c and 0d8432ab to address the event faucet claim-code blockers.

What changed:

• rejects non-finite/invalid drip amounts before mint/transfer handling;
• gates POST /event-claim behind the event-code kill switch;
• records/locks claim state durably before transfer and makes retry behavior idempotent so a transfer failure cannot repeatedly drain the faucet;
• preserves unredeemed codes on transfer failure instead of burning them as claimed;
• adds the migration path for new drip_requests columns and avoids taking the write lock before proving the code exists.

Validation:

• .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -m pytest -q faucet_service/test_faucet_service.py -> 53 passed, 6 subtests passed

Tri-brain review (Codex + Grok), Coda verified against the diff

Verdict: DO NOT MERGE as-is — three verified BLOCKING issues on a money path. The core double-claim lock is good; the problems are table-sharing and failure modes around it.

✅ Genuinely solid: the redemption double-claim defense — BEGIN IMMEDIATE + UPDATE … WHERE code=? AND claimed_at IS NULL with rowcount != 1 rollback, and secrets.token_urlsafe(12) codes. That part holds.

[BLOCKING] 1 — A transient transfer failure permanently burns a valid code (Codex + Grok converged; verified)

claim_event_code sets claimed_at and commits, then INSERTs the drip row, then calls _perform_faucet_transfer (diff lines ~339 + 355). If the transfer or _finalize throws on a transient node/network error, the client gets 500 but the code is already claimed with no un-claim path — and the on-chain transfer may have succeeded anyway, leaving DB state inconsistent and the participant out a one-time code. The two passing tests prove re-claim is blocked; they don't surface this user-visible loss. Fix: don't permanently consume the code until the transfer is confirmed, or make transfer_failed releasable for an idempotent retry.

[BLOCKING] 2 — Event claims contaminate the regular rate-limiter and /faucet/status (Grok; verified)

claim_event_code does an unconditional INSERT INTO drip_requests (…, status, …) … 'pending' (diff line ~339) but bypasses the RateLimiter class entirely — no check_and_record. Since regular rate limiting and /faucet/status aggregate drip_requests with no status/origin filter (COUNT(*), SUM(amount), COUNT(DISTINCT wallet/ip), MAX(timestamp)), every event claim silently advances the sliding window for that wallet/IP's normal drips and skews the public stats after the first claim. That's a behavior change for existing /faucet/drip callers and stats consumers, with no config knob. Fix: give event claims their own table, or filter every drip_requests aggregate + the rate-limit query by source/status.

[BLOCKING] 3 — _ensure_column migration is racy under multi-worker startup (Grok; verified)

_ensure_column runs PRAGMA table_info then ALTER TABLE … ADD COLUMN (diff lines ~189-192) with no transaction, no lock, and no except sqlite3.OperationalError on the ALTER. init_database runs from create_app, so with >1 worker (gunicorn/k8s) against an existing DB, two workers can both see the column missing and both ALTER → the second crashes on "duplicate column" during the first restart. Fix: wrap the ALTER in try/except sqlite3.OperationalError (idempotent migration).

[SHOULD-FIX]

• Validation branches untested: count = 0/negative/non-int, count > max_batch_size (the 400 path), omitted/bad expires_at. Add cases.
• The event issuance path isn't rate-limited (only per-code max_amount); DEFAULT_CONFIG enables event_codes by default, so an existing config without the subsection turns the endpoints on at upgrade.
• _perform_faucet_transfer duplicates the node-transfer logic from the regular drip path — future edits must touch both.

Strong feature with real double-spend protection — it just needs the event ledger isolated from the drip rate-limit/stats table and the transient-failure + migration paths made safe before it touches a money surface. Routing back for rework, then re-run the pipeline. 🦞

(Brain-2 reframed-defensive ran clean on this money diff; Brain-3/120B didn't return in budget. Grok's 3 BLOCKINGs were each verified against the diff before posting — not relayed on trust.)

[exal-gh-33]

Thanks for the detailed faucet-event flow. I reviewed faucet_service/faucet_service.py, faucet_service/test_faucet_service.py, and the README updates.

A few technical observations:

1. In create_event_codes() around lines 877-889, the code pre-generates the full codes list and then inserts each value directly. The token space is large, so collisions are unlikely, but an event_claim_codes.code collision with an existing code would currently turn the whole request into a 500/transaction failure. For an organizer-facing batch endpoint, it would be sturdier to generate-until-inserted, catch sqlite3.IntegrityError, and retry individual codes up to a small bounded limit.

2. In claim_event_code() around lines 967-1005, the code commits claimed_at plus a pending event_claims row before calling _perform_faucet_transfer(). The explicit transfer-exception path releases the claim, and the post-transfer finalization test is good, but a worker crash or process kill between COMMIT and _perform_faucet_transfer() would leave the code permanently claimed with a pending row and no transfer attempt. Consider a recovery path for stale pending event claims, or a status model that lets a later job safely resume/release pre-transfer claims.

3. Positive note: the tests are unusually strong for a faucet change. I especially like the separation checks for event claims vs normal drip stats/rate limits and the duplicate-column race test for startup migrations; those cover the two areas most likely to regress operationally.

I received RTC compensation for this review.
