Summary

Closes the registry-flow gaps that #479's review left as limitations, by fixing them where they live: in dpp-core's types (odal-node/dpp-core#486, released in 0.23.0), and then here.

Brought up to main on 2026-11-04. main is on the published dpp-core 0.23.0 since #561, so this branch builds against crates.io and needs no local core. #561 had to implement the port's new notify_transfer answer to compile, and took this PR's transfer-notification change with it (the TransferReport mapping, the stable Idempotency-Key, a replay read as already held), so that part is no longer in this diff and its CHANGELOG entry is #561's. What remains is below.

The stack continues: #487 (base is this PR's branch) records a handle by hand, and #488 and #489 sit on it; #490 (base is this PR's branch) reads the task list newest first. Merge in order, and retarget each child to main before merging its parent.

Changes

A lost submission handle is found again. A replayed idempotency key is answered with the conflict and not the submission, so a node whose first attempt got through, and whose record of the answer was lost by a crash between the POST and the row write or by a failed write, held a submitted row it could never poll. The drain now calls find_submission: it reads the dashboard and matches the passport by the unique product identifier it was submitted under, and answers with the handle and the ruling together, so a recovered passport is registered in the same pass.

• It does not guess. More than one submission reporting an identifier is Ambiguous (a successor can be submitted under its predecessor's), a task still being checked reports no passport, so not finding one while any is on the list is never read as the registry holding none, and a single match is taken only from a search that read every task. A lone candidate from a partial read is logged by name and not recorded.
• A row that is not found is backed off and counted as an attempt, so it reaches the stalled count instead of sorting to the head of the queue. So is one whose recovered handle could not be written down.
• Finished tasks' results are kept in a bounded cache: they do not change, and the lookup repeats every pass.
• A failed write of the handle after the registry accepted a submission is now logged at error level with the handle, instead of being discarded.

Where the task is. The dashboard list was read from the front for twenty pages, so past a thousand tasks a new submission on an oldest-first list was never found and was polled forever. The first page says how long the list is (totalElements), and a longer one is read from both ends, interleaved, because the registry's order is not recorded. A search that ran out says so rather than reporting the registry as still working.

Credential refusals. An access credential that fails authentication is told which of seven things to fix (a token that is not a compact JWS, no key for its kid, a signature that does not verify, a header or signature that cannot be read, a token not typed as a VC-JWT, a payload that is not a credential, or an issuer other than its document's), instead of one sentence for all. The presenter's own kid and issuer are not echoed, and a bad signature keeps its old sentence.

Docs. CHANGELOG.md (under [Unreleased]), and the production runbook says what a stalled registry row means and what to do about it, including that a transfer notification answered as already held was not shown to be applied.

Decisions I would like a second opinion on

• No legacy-kid verification. It would let tokens signed before core 0.22.0 verify again, which reverses that release's decision and needs a second, weaker resolver beside the strict one. No committed token carries an old-format kid, and the only kid-less token headers are placeholder strings in tests.
• Recording a handle by hand is feat(vault): record a registry handle by hand #487. Ambiguous and a never-found row still need a person, and on this branch alone there is no route or command to record a correlation identifier; the runbook text here says so, and feat(vault): record a registry handle by hand #487 replaces it.

Checklist

• Tests added or updated for new behaviour: the adapter against a mock registry (paging, the lookup, replay, reply mapping), the drains against Postgres, and the credential middleware
• just lint passes locally
• just fmt applied
• just check exits 0 against the published dpp-core 0.23.0 (1664 tests), and the Docker suites it touches pass (registry_outbox and smoke, 57 tests)
• No println!/eprintln!/dbg! in service-crate src/
• No secrets, credentials, or .env files in the diff
• Docs updated if a public API, endpoint, or CLI command changed
• If the DB schema changed: no schema change

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Lost registry submission handles can be recovered when a unique matching task is found. Ambiguous or incomplete searches leave submissions pending for later review or retry.
  • Registry task searches can check both ends of long task lists, and completed results may be reused to avoid repeated reads.
  • Access-credential failures now provide distinct, consistent error details without echoing supplied values.
• Documentation
  • Updated operational guidance for stalled submissions and transfer notifications, including how to interpret replay responses.

Walkthrough

The registry adapter now searches dashboard tasks by product identifier to recover missing submission handles. The drain records unique matches and retries unresolved lookups. The credential middleware now returns fixed, failure-specific authentication details.

Changes: Registry submission recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dashboard pagination and task search CHANGELOG.md, crates/dpp-node/src/infra/registry/dashboard.rs, crates/dpp-node/src/infra/registry/mapping.rs, crates/dpp-node/src/infra/registry/tests.rs	Task searches use reported list sizes to choose pages. Long lists are searched from both ends within a page cap. Incomplete searches are reported as incomplete, and tests cover bounded page selection.
Product identifier lookup CHANGELOG.md, crates/dpp-node/src/infra/registry/client.rs, crates/dpp-node/src/infra/registry/dashboard.rs, crates/dpp-node/src/infra/registry/mapping.rs, crates/dpp-node/src/infra/registry/tests.rs	The adapter matches registration-task results by product identifier, reuses cached finished results, and distinguishes unique, missing, and ambiguous matches. Tests cover incomplete searches and bounded result reads.
Drain recovery and retry behavior crates/dpp-node/src/infra/registry_drain.rs, crates/dpp-node/tests/registry_outbox.rs, docs/ops/PRODUCTION-RUNBOOK.md	The drain looks up missing handles from submitted requests and records a unique match. Unresolved lookups leave rows submitted; lookup or persistence errors trigger retries. Tests and the runbook describe these outcomes.

Access-credential refusal details

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Authentication failure details CHANGELOG.md, crates/dpp-vault/src/middleware/credential.rs, crates/dpp-node/tests/smoke.rs	Authentication failures map to fixed, distinct details without echoing supplied key identifiers or issuer values. Tests check the details and the exact signature-failure sentence.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value

The runbook states that repeating transfer notifications under the same key is safe, although the supplied PR context says that idempotency has been confirmed only for registration; this may overstate the transfer route's guarantee.

The operator may treat duplicate handovers as harmless and miss a registry-side consistency problem.

This can occur when: An operator relies on this guidance while diagnosing repeated transfer requests to a route that does not enforce key-based deduplication.

existing terminal-report handling.

@coderabbitai review

The branch took main (now on the published dpp-core 0.23.0) in 59a3f76d. #561 had already brought this PR's transfer-notification half to main, so it left the diff; the CHANGELOG entries moved out of the released 0.15.0 section into [Unreleased]. Nothing has reviewed e455c158 (the lone-candidate warning and the runbook/CHANGELOG corrections) or this merge.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Do not cache a result that has no report.

The cache assumes that a finished task's result never changes. registered() in dashboard.rs already handles a SUCCESS result that lists no passport. The test a_success_that_names_no_registration_keeps_the_poll_going pins this case. If the registry lists a task as finished before its result carries report.itemDetails, this code stores that empty result under the task ID.

Effects until the process restarts or the cache reaches 2,048 entries:

• check_submission returns Unrecognised on every poll and never re-reads the result.
• find_submission never matches the task.

Before this change, the next poll re-read the result. Cache only results that contain a report.

🛠️ Proposed fix

         let result = Arc::new(result);
+        // A result with no report may not be the result the task will have.
+        if result

         let mut kept = self.finished_results.lock().await;

             kept.clear();
         }

[LKSNDRTMLKV]

On the result-cache finding in the review summary (client.rs 122–127): fixed in 58ba914c, a little wider than suggested. Caching only a result with a report would still freeze the other case the poll keeps going on, a success whose passport has no registration identifier yet. A result is now kept only once TaskResult::is_complete: a refusal, or a report in which every accepted passport carries its registration identifier. a_result_that_names_no_registration_yet_is_read_again pins that the next poll takes the registration once it appears, and fails with the check disabled.
