A bare `plugin` line in .gitignore matched every <vm>/cmd/plugin DIRECTORY, so
`git add` inside one printed a hint and staged nothing. This file was written
and passing and was not in the repository. Another lane anchored the pattern to
/plugin; this is the file that was stranded behind it.
Work that is written, green, and invisible is the worst of the three states: it
looks done to whoever wrote it and does not exist to anyone else.
It printed a string literal beside bridgevm.Version. Bump either and the
binary an operator asks reports a version it is not. Splitting run() out of
main() makes what the plugin does separable from how a process reports it,
and testable.
A CMP group with no shares sums to the identity point, which marshals to a
well-formed thirty-three bytes. Handed back as the custody key it made an
empty config look like a finished keygen: the node reported itself ready to
attest and bridge_getInfo agreed, on a chain that could verify nothing.
The rest is subtraction. A settlement record now holds only the fact that
the transfer is settled, because the block that settled it is already named
by the chain. movedToday reports what it read or why it could not, instead
of reporting zero. RemoveSigner returns what happened rather than an error
it never had. Marshal cannot fail, so Bytes has no failure to handle. The
gorilla-rpc registration was a second way to serve one API. The route table
NewHTTPHandler built was a second copy of the one CreateHandlers names. The
logger is set at Initialize, so guarding every log call against its absence
was guarding against ourselves.
How often the watcher polls is data on the watcher, as the releaser's
backoff already is.
VMs now live in ONE place: chains/<name>/ owns the full implementation.
Previously split across node/vms/<name>/ (impl) + chains/<name>/main.go
(plugin wrapper). Now consolidated.
New layout:
chains/<name>vm/*.go — package <name>vm (VM code)
chains/<name>vm/cmd/plugin/main.go — package main (plugin binary)
chains/<name>vm/go.mod — module github.com/luxfi/chains/<name>vm
Moved 11 VMs: aivm, bridgevm, dexvm, graphvm, identityvm, keyvm,
oraclevm, quantumvm, relayvm, thresholdvm, zkvm.
External callers now import github.com/luxfi/chains/<name> directly.
