SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive understanding and programmatic control over the complex lifecycle of rounds within the arkd system, from registration to finalization and sweeping.

Core Features & Use Cases

Lifecycle Visualization: Understand the distinct stages (Registration, Finalization, Ended) and events that govern a round's progression.
Intent Management: Learn how user intents are registered, validated, and processed.
Finalization Logic: Grasp the intricate steps involved in building commitment transactions, signing trees, and handling forfeits.
Use Case: When debugging issues with VTXO expiration or understanding why a batch sweep failed, this Skill provides the necessary context on the round's current stage, registered intents, and finalization status.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema

How does the arkd round lifecycle work from registration to sweeping?▼

The arkd round lifecycle progresses through Registration, Finalization, and Ended stages, governing intent registration, VTXO management, commitment transaction building, and batch sweeping.

What are the stages of VTXO management and intent registration in arkd?▼

VTXO management and intent registration occur during the Registration stage, where user intents are registered, validated, and processed before moving to the Finalization stage for commitment transaction building.

How do I debug a failed batch sweep or VTXO expiration in arkd?▼

Debugging VTXO expiration or batch sweep failures requires checking the round's current stage, registered intents, and finalization status to understand where the state transition or error handling failed.

What is involved in the finalization logic for arkd commitment transactions?▼

Finalization logic in arkd involves building commitment transactions, signing trees, and handling forfeits as part of the intricate state transition process before the round reaches completion.

Do I need to understand event sourcing and domain models to manage arkd round state transitions?▼

Managing arkd round state transitions requires understanding domain models, event sourcing, and service layer operations to properly handle the progression and error management across lifecycle stages.

Why does a round get stuck during finalization and not progress to the ended stage?▼

A round may stall during finalization if commitment transaction building, tree signing, or forfeit handling encounters errors, preventing the state transition from completing and blocking the batch sweep.
