fix(spend-control): one process-wide ledger, with the session window still resetting on restart (rebase of #322) - #331
Merged
Conversation
…et, doctor Per-surface SpendControl instances each loaded spending.json at construction and then enforced hourly/daily/session windows against diverging in-memory history — every aggregate window effectively doubled — while each instance's save() last-writer-won the file's history, dropping the other surface's records on restart. getSharedSpendControl() is now the single process-wide instance. startProxy, createDoctorX402Client, and the polymarket resolvers all default to it, and index.ts threads it explicitly through the startProxy options and the buildPolymarketTool deps seam. Injectable deps are unchanged for tests. New tests: LLM spend recorded through the wired instance blocks a Polymarket order placed via tool.execute with no per-call deps; tool functions called with no deps resolve the shared instance, not a private one; a restart over the same storage sees both surfaces' records instead of only the last writer's. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…surface proven on the singleton Restart semantics for the process-wide SpendControl, stated rather than implied: an in-process proxy restart keeps history and rolling windows but re-reads limits from spending.json, so a hand-edit made while the proxy was up still applies — which is what a restart did when each surface built its own instance. SpendControl.reloadLimits() does the limits-only re-read and fails closed exactly like the constructor: a malformed file refuses every payment until repaired, and a repaired file clears the refusal. Tests pin the other two guarantees the singleton exists for: a /policy write on it is enforced by a Polymarket order placed with no injected deps, and Polymarket spend recorded on it refuses a proxy x402 payment over the hourly cap — the cross-surface direction the earlier test did not cover. Both test files now leave a fresh in-memory instance behind after each test so the singleton cannot leak between them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
reloadLimits() adopted the on-disk limits but left diskLimits — the value a later saveLimits() compares storage against — at whatever the instance had last read or written. The first write after an in-process restart that had picked up an external edit was therefore refused as a conflict with the very state it had just reloaded. The baseline now follows what was just read. Test goes red with the one line removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…t may pay
CodeRabbit caught a fail-open this PR introduced. `reloadLimits()` is new
here, so the bug is new here too.
`FileSpendControlStorage.load()` has two failure modes. A malformed policy
list throws `MalformedSpendPolicyError`, which the reload already handled
by refusing every payment. A torn or unreadable file took the other path:
it logged and returned `null`, which is indistinguishable from "no file
yet". The reload then cleared `policyFileBroken` and set `limits = {}`, so
a `spending.json` truncated by a crash plus one in-process proxy restart
left the proxy running with no caps and no allow/deny lists.
The constructor can treat an unreadable file as an empty start because it
has nothing to lose. A reload does. Guessing at the call site is not
possible while both cases return `null`, so the distinction now lives at
the storage boundary: `load()` throws `UnreadableSpendPolicyError` for a
read or parse failure, and `null` again means only "nothing stored".
- constructor: catches it, logs the same "starting fresh" warning, and
begins with no limits. Startup behaviour is unchanged.
- reload: catches it, logs, and returns without touching limits or any
refusal state. The last known-good policy stays in force.
Refusing outright on a torn file would be stricter, but that is a change
to startup semantics beyond this PR; not widening is the part that
belongs here.
Test added red first: set a daily cap, make `load()` fail, reload, and
assert the over-cap payment is still refused. Before the fix the reload
reset limits to `{}` and it was allowed. 942 tests, typecheck, lint and
prettier clean.

…e variable Second CodeRabbit finding on this PR, and a fair one: the accessor promised a process-wide ledger while holding it in a module variable, so the claim only held for a single module instance. That is not a safe assumption in this plugin. A global install (~/.openclaw/extensions/clawrouter) and an npm-projects install (~/.openclaw/npm/projects/blockrun-clawrouter-*) can both be resolved in one gateway, and two module copies would each hold their own ledger -- every window enforced once per copy, which is the per-surface split this singleton exists to end. index.ts already defends against exactly this for startup state (`__clawrouterProxyStarted`, `__clawrouterStartupGeneration` and the rest live on `process`). The ledger now follows the same convention under `__clawrouterSharedSpendControl`, so `getSharedSpendControl()` and `setSharedSpendControl()` resolve through one process slot. The test pins where the instance lives rather than simulating a dual load; loading two isolated copies of the module under vitest would test the loader more than the ledger. 943 tests, typecheck, lint and prettier clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The unit tests for the torn-file path use an in-memory stub that throws UnreadableSpendPolicyError on demand. That proves the branch is handled; it does not prove a genuinely truncated file on disk reaches it, and "the file is not what the parser expected" is precisely the thing a stub cannot reproduce. These drive the real FileSpendControlStorage against a real half-written file, with a temp HOME set before import so WALLET_DIR lands in the sandbox. Three of the four go red against the pre-fix code, and one of them documents a defect worse than the one this PR set out to fix: - reload: the daily cap survives the torn read (the fail-open this PR fixes) - history save: the damaged file is left byte-identical, where before it was rewritten from limits that had just failed to load - policy write: `policy limit daily 2` now reports isError and leaves the file alone. Before, `result.isError` was undefined -- the command reported SUCCESS and overwrote the damaged file, discarding whatever payee or asset lists sat in the unreadable part. An operator repairing a corrupted policy file was the most likely person to hit that. The fourth pins startup behaviour as deliberately unchanged: a torn file must not take the constructor down, and still begins with no limits. 947 tests, typecheck, lint and prettier clean.

…estart The process-wide ledger fixed the per-surface split, but it also took over a reset that used to happen by accident. `sessionSpent`/`sessionCalls` are instance state that is never persisted, so every `startProxy()` building its own SpendControl was what made `session` reset on a proxy restart — docs/configuration.md and the /policy help both state that as the contract. One ledger for the whole process quietly redefined `session` as "since the gateway booted", and left it asymmetric: a gateway restart still reset it, an in-process restart no longer did. `supersedeEmptyConfigStartup` puts ordinary boots through two starts, so this was not a corner case. The restart path now resets it on purpose. History and the rolling hourly and daily windows still survive, which is the point of sharing the ledger. The regression test pins the wiring rather than the method: it asserts the same instance reaches both `startProxy` calls, then that `session` is back to 0 while `daily` still counts the payment recorded before the restart. Removing the reset call turns it red. Also: - `buildPolymarketTool()` takes no deps at the registration site. It was passed `getSharedSpendControl()`, which is what `resolveSpendControl` already falls back to, so the argument bought nothing and cost a synchronous read of spending.json on every plugin registration — including the installs that never place a bet, and nine `register()` call sites in the lifecycle tests that would reach the developer's real home directory. - Guard the conflict-recovery re-read in `save()`. `load()` now throws where it returned null, so a file that goes unreadable between the conflict check and the re-read would clear the limits and surface the wrong error class to /policy, which branches on `SpendPolicyConflictError`.

Remove the machine-local node_modules symlink.
The target is an absolute path under one developer's home directory. Other checkouts will have a dangling link, and dependency resolution can fail before tests or builds run. Remove this entry and recreate dependencies from the repository's package manifest and lockfile.

Reject invalid policy document shapes before replacing live limits.
load() accepts valid JSON such as [] or {"limits":[]} as an empty policy. Line 499 then clears active limits, so an over-cap payment can pass after reloadLimits(). Validate the root object and limits object, and raise MalformedSpendPolicyError when either is invalid.

Fail closed when an existing policy file is unreadable at startup.
If spending.json previously contained a cap but becomes unreadable, this branch leaves limits empty and does not set policyFileBroken. A new proxy process can then authorize payments that exceeded the prior cap.

`3f99536` (#331) committed `node_modules` as a **symlink to an absolute path on one developer's machine**. Anyone who pulled main got that link in their working tree, where it shadows their real install and breaks `npm ci`, `tsup` and every `.bin/*` resolution with "too many levels of symbolic links". It got in because `.gitignore` said `node_modules/` — with a trailing slash, which matches a directory and only a directory. The scratch worktrees used to rebase that PR pointed at the real install with `ln -s`, and a symlink named `node_modules` is not a directory, so it sailed past the ignore rule and into `git add -A`. Removes it from the index and lists both forms in `.gitignore`, so the symlink shape cannot come back the same way.
