Every account_overrides.json/chains_for_testBalance.json entry has a
32-byte hex "account" field - a public AccountId32 (Substrate's public
account identifier), not a private key. The two share the same byte
length/hex format, but are fundamentally different: one is meant to be
public (it's literally how you address a chain account), the other
must stay secret. The scanner's regex can't tell them apart and flags
every single one, which just triggered a false "Possible private key
found" failure on PR #33 (the master->main sync).
This isn't a one-off - it'll fire on every future sync PR too, since
chains_for_testBalance.json always has these fields. Left as "FAILURE"
long-term, it trains reviewers to ignore this specific check, which is
exactly the alarm-fatigue failure mode that would let a real leaked
secret slip through unnoticed.
Last remaining balances-test failures (2 of 112): both Polkadot and
Kusama's fixture account (inherited from upstream nova-utils) had
zero balance - reaped since the fixture was last updated, causing
"Balance was null" assertion failures. Not a CI/infra bug, not
related to Tron - genuinely stale test data.
Replaced with the Treasury pallet account (py/trsry) for both chains
- protocol-owned, continuously replenished from fees/inflation, never
reaped. This matches the fixture's own existing pattern (Moonbeam and
Moonriver both already use their crowdloan pallet account, not a
personal wallet).
The account (0x6d6f646c70792f74727372790000000000000000000000000000000000000000)
was independently verified two ways before use: derived by hand
(modl + py/trsry + zero padding) and cross-checked against
@polkadot/api's own derivation - both matched exactly - then its
balance was queried live against wss://rpc.polkadot.io (22,527,885,189,670
free) and wss://kusama-rpc.polkadot.io (25,368,610,181,623 free) to
confirm it's genuinely funded, not just plausible-looking.
Applied via a new pezkuwi-overlay/tests/account_overrides.json,
applied by sync_from_nova.py after the existing chain-filtering step,
rather than hand-editing the generated fixture output (which would be
overwritten on the next sync).
Latest CI run confirmed all remaining balances-test failures (50 of
160) were java.util.NoSuchElementException for chain ids no longer in
the app's config - both newly-blacklisted chains and a handful of
retired testnets (Westmint, Moonbase Alpha/Relay, Aleph Zero Testnet,
an old Xode id, RegionX) that the raw Nova fixture still references.
None were real balance/fee assertion failures - the app itself is
working correctly for every chain it actually has configured.
sync_tests() now filters chains_for_testBalance.json down to entries
whose chainId exists in the latest merged chains.json (v22, 80 -> 56
entries) instead of publishing Nova's fixture verbatim, so the test
only ever exercises chains the app can actually resolve - and stays
correct automatically as chains.json changes, instead of needing
separate manual upkeep alongside blocked-chains.json.
Follow-up to the previous stale-blacklist fix: with that fix live,
Android's balances_test.yml CI job progressed much further but still
hung for the full 25-minute job timeout. Live logcat + a full-log
retry analysis (grouping by host, comparing first/last timestamp
against the ~23 minute test window) showed 27 more chains whose nodes
were retried continuously for the ENTIRE run duration with zero
successful connections - as opposed to the ~90 other chains, which
connect once (or retry once or twice in the first ~2 minutes) and
then go quiet, i.e. genuinely healthy.
Every one of these 27 is a real, currently-dead third-party RPC
(Kusama Asset Hub, KILT, Crust Shadow, Phala, Mangata X, Joystream,
Mythos, Base, and 19 others) - not anything related to Tron or this
session's other changes. Each was matched to its current chain_id by
node URL against live chains.json, not guessed.
sync_from_nova.py's new stale-blacklist warning confirms all 33
entries (6 previous + 27 new) now match something in Nova's current
chain data - zero silently-ineffective entries this time.
This is inherently a moving target (third-party community RPC uptime
changes over time) - the warning added in the previous commit is what
makes that maintainable going forward instead of silently rotting for
another five months.
Root cause of the balances-test hang in pezkuwi-wallet-android (silent
for over an hour, cancelled multiple times before finding this):
every single chain_id in blocked-chains.json was stale - none matched
anything in Nova's current chains.json (last_updated 2026-02-11, ~5
months of upstream chain-id drift since). The blacklist mechanism
silently no-opped for all 6 entries, so none of the chains it was
meant to exclude were actually excluded.
With the blacklist ineffective, several chains with genuinely dead RPC
endpoints (confirmed live 2026-07-08: 3DPass, Curio, Quartz, Subsocial
- 502s, timeouts, SSL failures) stayed in the merged output. The
Android app's ChainConnection/NodeAutobalancer has no backoff/circuit
breaker for dead endpoints, so it retried them in an extremely tight
loop (~1 attempt/second, 1500-1800+ attempts observed in a 25 minute
window per chain) - burning resources indefinitely and starving the
app's actual chain-sync/test work, which is what made the Android CI
job hang for over an hour with zero progress.
Fix: re-verified and corrected all chain_ids (matching by current
name against live chains.json), added 3DPass/Curio/Subsocial which
weren't blacklisted before, dropped entries for chains no longer
present upstream at all (Passet Hub Testnet, Darwinia Crab, DeepBrain,
Exosama - nothing to block, kept them as historical noise otherwise).
Also added a stale-blacklist warning to sync_from_nova.py: it now
tracks which blocked chain_ids actually matched something in Nova's
current chains across all versions, and prints a warning listing any
that didn't - so this exact silent drift is caught at sync time going
forward instead of rotting unnoticed for another five months.
Android's BalancesIntegrationTest CI fetches this fixture directly
from raw.githubusercontent.com/.../master/tests/chains_for_testBalance.json,
but it never existed in this repo's output - only chains/, xcm/,
icons/, and staking/ were ever synced from nova-base by
sync_from_nova.py. This is why "Run balances tests" in
pezkuwi-wallet-android has been failing (FileNotFoundException) even
after fixing its CI infra and instrumentation-runner issues.
Only this one fixture is published from nova-base/tests/, not the
rest of that directory (upstream's own pytest suite for validating
its chains.json output, unused by anything in this repo or its
consumers).
- pezkuwi-overlay/chains/pezkuwi-chains.json: add Tron mainnet
(native TRX + USDT-TRC20) chain entry, plus new TRX/Tron icons
under pezkuwi-overlay/icons/ (the correct source location - synced
into the top-level icons/ output by sync_from_nova.py).
- Regenerate all chains/*, xcm/*, staking/* merged output via
sync_from_nova.py against the current nova-base submodule state.
- Also picks up previously-uncommitted local fixes: canonical
Telegram/Twitter links (t.me/kurdishmedya, x.com/bizinikiwi) in
README/docs/banners, and Pezkuwi mainnet + People chain SubQuery
staking overrides.
Staking pallet lives on Asset Hub, not Relay Chain.
- RC HEZ staking set to null
- AH HEZ staking enabled with relaychain and nomination-pools
- AH externalApi staking subquery URL added
- Removed RC staking override from global configs
The staking dashboard was showing INACTIVE because all Pezkuwi chains
(including Asset Hub) were routed to the relay chain SubQuery for
staking stats. The relay SubQuery only has relay chain activeStakers,
not AH pool stash accounts. Split the override so Asset Hub queries
its own SubQuery endpoint which has the pool stash data.
- Created pezkuwi-overlay/config/global_config_overlay.json (source B)
with stakingApiOverrides for Pezkuwi SubQuery + prod API URLs
- Updated sync_from_nova.py with sync_config() function
Merges: nova-base/global + nova-base/staking (A) + overlay (B) → staking/ (C)
- Same merge pattern as chains, XCM, and icons
- Add staking, staking-rewards, history externalApi endpoints (subquery.pezkuwichain.io)
for both Pezkuwi Relay and Asset Hub
- Add identityChain reference to People chain on Relay and Asset Hub
- Add stakingWiki link to wiki.pezkuwichain.io/staking
- Add pushSupport option to Asset Hub
- Add defaultBlockTime to Asset Hub additional config
- Regenerate all merged chain versions via sync script
- Add blocked-chains.json with DNS-failing endpoints (AlephZero, InvArch, Quartz, Passet Hub Testnet)
- Update merge-chains.py to filter PAUSED chains, testnets (except Pezkuwi), and broken RPCs
- Reduce chain count from 102 to 86 (4 Pezkuwi + 82 working Nova chains)
- This fixes staking page not loading due to DNS resolution failures
