docker: add release Dockerfile, fix build deps and feature-split builds

- Add Dockerfile.release: downloads latest release from Gitea, verifies SHA-256 - Fix Dockerfile: remove unused libsodium/cmake, add libsqlite3-dev - Split build per binary with --no-default-features --features server/pusher - Remove Cargo.lock from .dockerignore for reproducible builds - Update README and knowledge base with Dockerfile.release docs
docs: update knowledge base to match current codebase

 # agents.md — Rust Maintainer & Security Auditor (opencode.ai)
 # Language rule: English only. This agent's output code/comments/files must be in English.
 ## 0) Documentation & Knowledge Base
 **Before reading, editing, or auditing any code in this repository, consult
 the knowledge base in `docs/INDEX.md` to locate the relevant domain knowledge,
 architecture notes, and security considerations.**
 - Start here: `docs/INDEX.md` — navigable index of all documentation
 - Bitcoin domain: `docs/02_glossary_and_bitcoin_domain.md`
 - Architecture: `docs/03_architecture_and_data_flow.md`
 - Security audit: `docs/08_security_audit.md`
 **After any significant code change (new features, API changes, schema changes,
 or security fixes), update the corresponding knowledge base file in `docs/`
 to keep documentation in sync with the implementation.**
 ## 1) Purpose
 Maintain and audit a Rust project with two main goals:
 - **Maintenance:** keep the codebase correct, stable, and easy to evolve.
 - **Security:** find and fix bugs and potential **exploits**, especially those reachable via untrusted input.
 ## 2) Scope (based on your dependencies)
 This repo likely uses:
 - **Async HTTP server:** `hyper`, `hyper-util`, `http-body-util`, `tokio`
 - **HTTP client:** `reqwest` (`json`, `socks`)
 - **Bitcoin components:** `bitcoin`, `bitcoincore-rpc`, `bitcoincore-rpc-json`
 - **Data/encoding:** `base64`, `bs58`, `hex`, `hex-conservative`, `byteorder`
 - **Crypto/TLS:** `sha2`, `openssl` (vendored)
 - **Serialization:** `serde`, `serde_json`
 - **Storage:** `sqlite`
 - **Parsing:** `regex`
 - **IPC/messaging:** `zmq`
 - **Logging:** `log`, `env_logger`
 Therefore, prioritize:
 - untrusted input flowing into **parsing/encoding/DB/RPC/IPC**
 - **SSRF/network abuse** via `reqwest`
 - **panics** from `unwrap()/expect()/panic!()` in request/message paths
 - **SQL injection** risks in SQLite usage
 - **secret leakage** through logs/config/error messages
 - **DoS** vectors: oversized bodies/messages, expensive regex, unbounded JSON, missing timeouts
 ## 3) Operating Principles
 1. **Reproducibility first**
   - Every fix or security claim must include concrete reproduction steps and exact commands.
 2. **Small changes**
   - Prefer minimal diffs with focused tests.
 3. **CI-aligned workflow**
   - If CI fails, identify the failing target/job and fix at the right layer.
 4. **Security-first triage**
   - If you see signs of exploitability (RCE/auth bypass/SSRF/secret leak/DoS), prioritize mitigation + regression tests.
 5. **No panics on untrusted input**
   - In any path reachable from HTTP/ZMQ/DB/IPC/network/CLI: eliminate `unwrap()/expect()` and replace with safe error handling.
 ## 4) Baseline Commands (must run before finalizing)
 Run and ensure these succeed:
 ```bash
 cargo fmt -- --check
 cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
 cargo test
 ```

 ```bash
 docker run -d \
  --name bal-server \
  --network host \
  --tmpfs /tmp:rw,noexec,nosuid \
  -v /path/to/data:/var/bal:rw \
  -v /path/to/.bitcoin/regtest/.cookie:/var/bal/.bitcoin/regtest/.cookie:ro \
  -e BAL_SERVER_REGTEST_ADDRESS="your_xpub_or_address" \
  -e BAL_SERVER_REGTEST_FIXED_FEE=50000 \

 # bal-pusher
 `bal-pusher` monitors Bitcoin blocks via ZMQ and pushes time-locked transactions from the database to the Bitcoin network when their **locktime** exceeds the **median time past** (MTP).
 ## Prerequisites
 - **Bitcoin Core** with ZMQ support enabled. Add to `bitcoin.conf`:
  ```
  zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
  ```
 - **Rust and Cargo**: [Rust Installation](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
 - **Libraries**: `libssl-dev`, `libzmq5-dev`, `libsqlite3-dev`
 ## Running
 ```bash
 bal-pusher [bitcoin|testnet|testnet4|signet|regtest]
 ```
 If no network is specified, defaults to `bitcoin`.
 ## Configuration (bal-pusher)
 ### General
 | Variable | Description | Default |
 | --- | --- | --- |
 | `BAL_PUSHER_DB_FILE` | Path to the SQLite3 database file. | `bal.db` |
 | `BAL_PUSHER_SEND_STATS` | Send stats to welist server. | `false` |
 | `BAL_SERVER_URL` | URL of bal-server (for stats reporting). | - |
 | `SSL_KEY_PATH` | Ed25519 private key for signing stats reports. | `private_key.pem` |
 | `WELIST_SERVER_URL` | Welist server URL. | `https://welist.bitcoin-after.life` |
 ### Per-network configuration
 Each network (`bitcoin`, `regtest`, `testnet`, `testnet4`, `signet`) supports the following variables.
 Replace `{NETWORK}` with the uppercase network name (e.g., `REGTEST`, `BITCOIN`).
 | Variable | Description | Default |
 | --- | --- | --- |
 | `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_ZMQ_HASHBLOCK` | ZMQ endpoint for block notifications. | `tcp://127.0.0.1:28332` (mainnet) |
 | `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_COOKIE_FILE` | Absolute path to Bitcoin Core cookie file. | `$HOME/.bitcoin/{dir}/.cookie` |

 # Project Overview
 ## Quick Reference
 - **What this file contains:** vision, scope, system components, and mapping to existing documentation.
 - **See also:** [02_glossary_and_bitcoin_domain.md](02_glossary_and_bitcoin_domain.md), [03_architecture_and_data_flow.md](03_architecture_and_data_flow.md)
 ## Vision and Scope
 `bal_server` is a Rust-based Bitcoin transaction executor server (v0.3.2, edition 2024). It receives raw Bitcoin transactions via HTTP, validates them, persists them in a local SQLite database, and coordinates their broadcast on-chain after a locktime condition expires. The system supports multiple Bitcoin networks (mainnet, testnet, regtest, testnet4, signet) and tracks extended public keys (xpub) for fee collection.
 ### Key Goals
 1. **Receive and validate** raw Bitcoin transactions with locktime.
 2. **Store** transactions, inputs, and outputs in a structured database.
 3. **Monitor** new blocks via ZMQ and push transactions to the Bitcoin network when the locktime is satisfied.
 4. **Track** derived addresses and extended public keys for fee accounting.
 5. **Collect and report** statistics about the service.
 ## System Components
 The project consists of two binaries and one shared library:
 1. **`bal-server`**: Async HTTP server (**actix-web 4.9.0** + actix-rt) that exposes the API for receiving transactions and serving statistics. Includes rate limiting via `actix-governor`.
 2. **`bal-pusher`**: Async daemon (tokio) that listens for `hashblock` ZMQ messages and pushes pending transactions to a Bitcoin node via RPC.
 3. **`lib.rs`**: Exports the shared modules `db`, `xpub`, and `validation`.
 ### Library Modules
 4. **`db.rs`**: All database operations, schema creation, path validation, and WAL mode for SQLite `0.34.0`.
 5. **`xpub.rs`**: Address derivation from xpub/zpub/ypub using BIP-84 and the `bitcoin` crate.
 6. **`validation.rs`**: SSRF protection for the `welist` URL, blocking private/internal IP ranges.
 ## Feature Flags
 The project uses Cargo feature flags to build each binary independently:
 | Feature | Dependencies | Binary |
 |---------|-------------|--------|
 | `server` (default) | `actix-web`, `actix-governor`, `actix-rt`, `chrono`, `hex-conservative` | `bal-server` |
 | `pusher` (default) | `zmq`, `reqwest`, `byteorder`, `base64`, `ed25519-dalek` | `bal-pusher` |
 ## Docker Support
 Two Dockerfiles are provided:
 - **`Dockerfile.release`** (recommended for production): Downloads the latest pre-built release from the Gitea server. No Rust toolchain needed. Verifies SHA-256 checksum. Supports pinning a specific version via `BAL_VERSION` build arg.
 - **`Dockerfile`** (for development/custom builds): Multi-stage build using `rust:1.95-bookworm` as the builder and `debian:bookworm-slim` as the runtime. Each binary is compiled with only its required features (`--no-default-features --features server` / `--features pusher`).
 Both run as a non-root `bal` user (uid 1000) with `tini` as PID 1 and include a healthcheck endpoint.
 ## Mapping to Existing Documentation
 | Existing File | Subject | Covered in this KB |

 # Glossary and Bitcoin Domain Knowledge
 ## Quick Reference
 - **What this file contains:** Bitcoin-specific concepts, protocols, and standards needed to understand this codebase.
 - **See also:** [01_project_overview.md](01_project_overview.md), [04_modules_detail.md](04_modules_detail.md)
 ## BIP-84: Derivation Path for P2WPKH
 BIP-84 defines the derivation path for native SegWit (Bech32) addresses (P2WPKH). The standard path is `m/84'/<coin_type>'/<account>'/0/<address_index>`. In this project, `xpub.rs` derives P2WPKH addresses from an xpub or zpub using the path `m/84'/coin_type'/account'/0/index`. The `bitcoin` crate's `Xpub::derive_pub` and `Secp256k1` are used in `src/xpub.rs`.
 ## XPub, ZPub, and Extended Public Keys
 An **XPub** (Extended Public Key) is a master key that allows derivation of child public keys without revealing private keys. A **ZPub** is the Bech32-encoded equivalent for native SegWit. The codebase uses `xpub.rs` to derive addresses from these and verify their checksums. See `src/xpub.rs` for the Base58 decoding and checksum logic.
 ## Locktime and nLockTime
 A Bitcoin transaction can include a `nLockTime` field. If it is non-zero and below `500_000_000`, it is interpreted as a **block height** before which the transaction cannot be mined. If above, it is a **Unix timestamp**. The system evaluates whether the locktime has been met by comparing it against the blockchain's median time. See `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs` for the evaluation logic.
 ## P2WPKH (Pay to Witness Public Key Hash)
 P2WPKH is a native SegWit output format that reduces transaction size and lowers transaction fees. The addresses are Bech32 encoded (e.g., `bc1q...`). The project assumes fee collection outputs are P2WPKH and uses `bitcoin::Address::p2wpkh` for derivation in `src/xpub.rs`.
 ## Bitcoin Block Header (80 bytes)
 A Bitcoin block header is a fixed 80-byte structure containing `version` (4 bytes), `previous block hash` (32 bytes), `merkle root` (32 bytes), `timestamp` (4 bytes), `bits` (4 bytes), and `nonce` (4 bytes). The `bal-pusher` binary uses the `hashblock` ZMQ topic and calls `getblockchaininfo` to get the `mediantime`.
 ## ZMQ Publisher
 Bitcoin Core can publish notifications over ZeroMQ. The project listens to two topics:
 - **`hashblock`**: Sends the 32-byte block hash when a new block is found. The `bal-pusher` uses this to trigger an update cycle.
 - **`rawblock`**: Sends the full raw block (including the 80-byte header). This is not used by the current `bal-pusher` implementation.
 The ZMQ endpoint is per-network:
 - Bitcoin: `tcp://127.0.0.1:28332`
 - Regtest: `tcp://127.0.0.1:21332`
 - Testnet: `tcp://127.0.0.1:23332`
 - Testnet4: `tcp://127.0.0.1:24332`
 - Signet: `tcp://127.0.0.1:22332`
 ## Bitcoin Core RPC
 The project communicates with a local Bitcoin Core node via the JSON-RPC interface. Key methods used are:
 - `sendrawtransaction`: To broadcast a pending transaction.
 - `getblockchaininfo`: To retrieve the current block height and `mediantime` (used to evaluate locktime).
 - `getblock`: To retrieve block data in `bal-pusher` (for median time calculation).
 Authentication is done via `bitcoincore-rpc` using either `UserPass` or `CookieFile` (the `cookie` file is stored in `~/.bitcoin/.cookie`). See `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs`.
 ## Mempool and P2P
 Transactions are validated against mempool rules before submission. The server checks that the fee output is paid to a specific address owned by the operator. It also ensures the transaction can be deserialized using the `bitcoin::Transaction` parser from the `bitcoin` crate. See `src/bin/bal-server.rs` (`pushtxs` endpoint).

 ## Data Flow (Transaction Lifecycle)
 1. **Submission**: A client sends one or more raw hex transactions to the `pushtxs` endpoint (newline-separated).
 2. **Validation**: The `bal-server` parses each transaction using `bitcoin::Transaction` via `consensus::deserialize`. It checks for the fee output, extracts inputs/outputs, and validates the locktime.
 3. **Storage**: Valid transactions are stored in `tbl_tx` with `status = 0` (waiting). The inputs and outputs are stored in `tbl_inp` and `tbl_out`. Batch inserts use `UNION ALL SELECT` for efficiency.
 4. **Monitoring**: The `bal-pusher` listens to the ZMQ `hashblock` topic with a 5-second receive timeout. When a new block is detected, it fetches blockchain info via RPC.
 5. **Evaluation**: The pusher queries the database for transactions with `status=0` and compares their locktime against the blockchain's best block height or median time (for timestamp-based locktimes above `LOCKTIME_THRESHOLD`).
 6. **Broadcast**: If the locktime is satisfied, the pusher sends the transaction via `sendrawtransaction` and updates the status to `1` (sent) or `2` (failed with error stored in `push_err`).
 7. **Statistics**: The pusher periodically calculates statistics and sends them to a remote `welist` server using an Ed25519-signed POST request. The server also exposes stats via the `GET /:network/stats` endpoint if `expose_stats` is enabled.
 ## State Machine
 ```
 [Submitted] -> status=0 (waiting)
      |
      | locktime satisfied
      v
 [Push attempt] -> status=1 (sent) or status=2 (failed)
 ```
 The `status` field in `tbl_tx` is an integer:
 - `0`: Waiting for locktime.
 - `1`: Successfully sent to the network.
 - `2`: Failed (e.g., RPC error `-25 bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent`). Error details stored in `push_err`.
 ## Error Handling Strategy
 The codebase has been hardened with comprehensive error handling:
 - **`bal-server`**: Uses `actix-web`'s built-in error handling. All `unwrap()`/`expect()` calls have been replaced with safe `match`/`if let` error propagation, returning appropriate HTTP status codes (400, 404, 500).
 - **`bal-pusher`**: ZMQ `recv` uses `set_rcvtimeo(5000)` with a match/timeout handler. RPC connection failures log errors and retry with a sleep interval instead of panicking. The pusher logs warnings for consecutive ZMQ timeouts (~1 hour threshold).
 - **`db.rs`**: Database operations use `Result` types. The `open_db` function validates paths before opening. WAL mode is set with retry logic.
 ## Logging and Monitoring
 The project uses `env_logger` and `log`. By default, `RUST_LOG=info` is set. The `bal-pusher` sends signed statistics to a remote server. The server exposes a `stats` endpoint (`/<network>/stats`) if `expose_stats` is enabled. The actix-web `Logger::default()` middleware logs all HTTP requests/responses.

 # Module Details
 ## Quick Reference
 - **What this file contains:** detailed analysis of each Rust module and binary, including source code references.
 - **See also:** [03_architecture_and_data_flow.md](03_architecture_and_data_flow.md), [09_references_and_links.md](09_references_and_links.md)
 ---
 ## `lib.rs`
 **Location:** `src/lib.rs`
 This is the root of the library crate. It exports three public modules:
 - `pub mod db;` — the database interface
 - `pub mod validation;` — SSRF URL validation
 - `pub mod xpub;` — the extended public key utilities
 It contains no application logic.
 ---
 ## `db.rs` (Database Interface)
 **Location:** `src/db.rs`
 This module contains all the logic for interacting with the SQLite database.
 ### Key Functions
 | Function | Signature | Purpose |
 |---|---|---|
 | `open_db` | `pub fn open_db(path: &str) -> Result<Connection, String>` | Validates path (blocks `..` traversal, forbidden system dirs, symlinks), opens SQLite, sets `busy_timeout=5000`, retries WAL mode up to 5 times, sets `synchronous=NORMAL`. |
 | `create_database` | `pub fn create_database(db: &Connection)` | Creates all tables and indexes (idempotent via `IF NOT EXISTS`). |
 | `check_duplicate_txids` | `pub fn check_duplicate_txids(db: &Connection, txids: &[String]) -> Result<HashSet<String>, Error>` | Batch check which txids already exist. Chunks in groups of 500 for SQLite parameter limit safety. |
 | `insert_xpub` | `pub fn insert_xpub(db: &Connection, network: &str, xpub: &str)` | INSERT OR IGNORE into tbl_xpub. |
 | `get_last_used_address_by_ip` | `pub fn get_last_used_address_by_ip(db: &Connection, network: &String, xpub: &String, address: &String) -> Option<String>` | Finds most recent address previously assigned to a remote IP for an xpub. |
 | `get_next_address_index` | `pub fn get_next_address_index(db: &Connection, network: &String, xpub: &String) -> (i64, i64)` | Atomically increments `path_idx` and returns `(xpub_id, new_index)` using `RETURNING`. |
 | `save_new_address` | `pub fn save_new_address(db: &Connection, xpub: i64, address: &String, path: &String, remote_addr: &String)` | INSERT into tbl_address. |
 | `execute_insert` | `pub fn execute_insert(db: &Connection, sqltxs: String, ptx: Vec<(usize, Value)>, sqlinp: String, pinp: Vec<(usize, Value)>, sqlout: String, pout: Vec<(usize, Value)>) -> Result<(), Error>` | Executes a transaction: BEGIN, insert txs, insert inputs, insert outputs, COMMIT (with ROLLBACK on error). |
 | `get_total_transaction_number` | `pub fn get_total_transaction_number(db: Connection, network: &String) -> Result<i64, Error>` | Counts transactions for a network. |
 | `get_all_addresses_by_xpub` | `pub fn get_all_addresses_by_xpub(db: &Connection, xpub: &str) -> Result<HashSet<String>, Error>` | Fetches all addresses for an xpub via JOIN on tbl_xpub/tbl_address. Used for O(1) fee validation in the push handler. |
 ### Design Notes
 - All SQL queries use parameterized statements (`?` placeholders with `bind()`). No string formatting is used for user-controlled values.
 - The `open_db` function validates paths before opening, rejecting directory traversal, system directories, and symlinks.
 - WAL mode (`PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL`) is enabled with retry logic for concurrent access safety.
 ---
 ## `xpub.rs` (Extended Public Key Utilities)
 **Location:** `src/xpub.rs`
 This module handles the derivation of Bitcoin addresses from extended public keys (xpub/zpub/ypub) and the creation of P2WPKH descriptors with Bitcoin Core checksums.
 ### Key Functions
 | Function | Signature | Purpose |
 |---|---|---|
 | `new_address_from_xpub` | `pub fn new_address_from_xpub(zpub: &str, index: i64, network: Network) -> Result<(String, String), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>` | Derives a P2WPKH (native SegWit) address at path `m/0/{index}` from an xpub. Returns `(address, path)`. |
 | `get_bitcoincore_descriptor` | `pub fn get_bitcoincore_descriptor(xpub: &str) -> String` | Generates a Bitcoin Core descriptor with checksum (e.g., `wpkh([fingerprint/84h/0h/0h]xpub/0/*)#checksum`). |
 | `calculate_fingerprint` | `pub fn calculate_fingerprint(tpub: &str) -> Result<String, String>` | Returns the hex fingerprint of an xpub (converts to standard xpub first). |
 ### Private Functions
 - `poly_mod(c, val)` / `calc_checksum(desc)` — Bitcoin Core descriptor checksum calculation.
 - `convert_xpub(xpub)` — Detects prefix (xpub/ypub/zpub or tpub/vpub/upub) and converts to target format.

 ---
 ## `validation.rs` (SSRF Protection)
 **Location:** `src/validation.rs`
 This module provides URL validation to prevent SSRF attacks via the `welist` stats reporting feature.
 ### Key Functions
 | Function | Signature | Purpose |
 |---|---|---|
 | `is_valid_welist_url` | `pub fn is_valid_welist_url(url_str: &str) -> bool` | Validates a URL against SSRF: checks scheme is HTTPS, blocks localhost/loopback/private/link-local/multicast/unspecified IPs for both IPv4 and IPv6. |
 ### Validation Rules
 1. URL must be well-formed and parsable.
 2. Scheme must be `https://` (plain HTTP is rejected).
 3. Host must not be `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `::1`, or any loopback/private/link-local/multicast/unspecified IP address.
 4. IPv4 private RFC1918 ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and AWS metadata link-local (169.254.169.254) are blocked.
 5. IPv6 Unique Local (fc00::/7) and link-local (fe80::/10) are blocked.
 ### Inline Tests
 8 unit tests cover valid domains, invalid schemes, localhost/loopback, private IPs, unspecified/multicast, IPv6 link-local, IPv6 unique local, malformed URLs, and valid public IPs.
 ---
 ## `bal-server.rs` (HTTP Server / API)
 **Location:** `src/bin/bal-server.rs`
 The main application binary that provides an async HTTP server.
 ### Architecture
 - **Runtime:** `actix-web 4.9.0` with `actix-rt` (`#[actix_web::main]`).
 - **Rate Limiting:** `actix-governor` middleware with token-bucket algorithm per endpoint.
 - **Response Compression:** `actix_web::middleware::Compress`.
 - **Request Logging:** `actix_web::middleware::Logger::default()`.
 - **Shared State:** `Arc<Mutex<Connection>>` for database access, `MyConfig` for configuration.
 ### Configuration Structs
 **`MyConfig`** (server configuration):
 - `regtest`, `signet`, `testnet`, `testnet4`, `mainnet`: `NetConfig` per network
 - `info`, `bind_address`, `bind_port`, `db_file`, `pub_key_path`, `expose_stats`
 **`NetConfig`** (per-network):
 - `address` (xpub or address), `fixed_fee` (sats), `xpub` (bool), `network` (bitcoin::Network), `name`, `enabled`
 **`ActixConfig`** (server tuning):
 - `max_body_size`, `timeout_secs`, per-endpoint rate limits (`pushtxs`, `searchtx`, `info`, `default`), `workers`, `max_connections`
 ### Key Routes
 | Method | Path | Handler | Description |
 |--------|------|---------|-------------|
 | GET | `/` | `echo_home` | Returns `cfg.info` string |
 | GET | `/.pub_key.pem` | `echo_pub_key` | Returns public key PEM file |
 | GET | `/version` | `echo_version` | Returns VERSION constant (0.3.2) |
 | GET | `/{network}/info` | `echo_info` | Returns `InfoResponse` JSON. In xpub mode, derives/returns per-IP address |
 | GET | `/{network}/stats` | `echo_stats` | Returns `Vec<StatsResponse>` JSON (requires `expose_stats=true`) |
 | POST | `/{network}/pushtxs` | `echo_push` | Accepts newline-separated raw tx hex. 3-phase: parse (no lock), check duplicates (lock), insert (lock) |
 | POST | `/searchtx` | `echo_search` | Searches by txid (body = 64 hex chars). Returns status, tx, our_address, our_fees, reqid |
 ### Handler Details
 **`echo_info`**: If xpub mode is enabled, first checks `get_last_used_address_by_ip` for an existing address for that IP. If none, atomically claims next index via `get_next_address_index`, derives address via `new_address_from_xpub`, and saves it. Two separate DB lock acquisitions (lookup + save) with CPU-bound derivation in between (no lock held).
 **`echo_push`**: Three-phase approach:
 1. Load all known addresses (for xpub validation) with DB lock, release lock
 2. Parse all transactions from request body (CPU-bound, no lock) using `parse_request_transactions`
 3. Batch check duplicates with DB lock, release lock
 4. Build bulk INSERT statements using `UNION ALL SELECT` and execute in single transaction
 **`parse_request_transactions`**: Splits body by newlines, hex-decodes each line, deserializes via `consensus::deserialize`, computes txid/wtxid/ntxid, checks if any output matches the expected address (or is in known_addresses for xpub mode) with amount >= fixed_fee.
 ### Error Handling
 All `unwrap()`/`expect()` calls have been replaced with safe `match`/`if let` error propagation, returning appropriate HTTP status codes (400, 404, 500). The server does not panic on untrusted input.
 ### Static Public Key (`/.pub_key.pem`)
 The server serves a static `public_key.pem` file. The corresponding `privkey.pem` is used by the pusher to sign statistics before sending them to the `welist` server.
 ---
 ## `bal-pusher.rs` (Async Transaction Pusher)
 **Location:** `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs`
 This is the async daemon that monitors the blockchain and pushes pending transactions.
 ### Architecture
 - **Runtime:** `tokio::main` with `rt-multi-thread`.
 - **ZMQ:** `zmq::Context` with a `SUB` socket. Subscribes to all topics. Uses `set_rcvtimeo(5000)` for 5-second receive timeout.
 - **RPC:** `bitcoincore-rpc` client. Tries username/password auth first, falls back to cookie file auth.
 - **HTTP Client:** `reqwest` with `json` and `socks` features. Sends Ed25519-signed JSON POST to the `welist` server.
 - **IPv6 Preference:** Optional `BAL_PUSHER_PREFER_IPV6` flag pins the HTTP connection to the first IPv6 address.
 ### Key Logic
 1. On startup and every `hashblock` message, it calls `main_result()`.
 2. `main_result` creates a `bitcoincore-rpc` client. If it fails, it logs an error and returns (no panic).
 3. It fetches `getblockchaininfo` to get `mediantime` and `blocks` height.
 4. It queries the database for transactions with `status=0` and locktime satisfied (block height < best block, or timestamp < mediantime for timestamps > `LOCKTIME_THRESHOLD`).
 5. For each pending transaction, it calls `sendrawtransaction`.
 6. If `send_stats` is enabled, it collects statistics, signs them with `privkey.pem`, and sends them to the configured `welist` URL via `reqwest`.
 7. It updates the database with the new status (`1` = sent, `2` = failed with `push_err`).
 ### Statistics Reporting
 - Statistics are aggregated from the database (total, waiting, sent, failed, profits, unique inputs).
 - The chain name is validated (alphanumeric, `-`, `_` only).
 - Stats are inserted into `tbl_stats` with `ON CONFLICT(chain) DO UPDATE`.
 - The stats payload is signed with Ed25519 and POSTed to `{welist_url}/ping`.
 - The `WELIST_SERVER_URL` is validated via `is_valid_welist_url()` before sending (can be bypassed with `WELIST_SKIP_URL_VALIDATION=true`).
 ### ZMQ Timeout Handling
 - Uses `set_rcvtimeo(5000)` (5-second timeout).
 - Logs a warning every ~720 consecutive timeouts (~1 hour of no blocks).
 - Does not block forever or panic on connection loss.
 ### Configuration
 All configuration is via environment variables (no config files):
 - `BAL_PUSHER_DB_FILE`: Path to SQLite database.
 - `BAL_PUSHER_BITCOIN_DIR`: Bitcoin data directory (for cookie file path).
 - `BAL_PUSHER_SEND_STATS`: Enable/disable remote stats reporting.
 - `BAL_SERVER_URL`: URL of the bal-server for internal communication.
 - `SSL_KEY_PATH`: Path to Ed25519 private key for signing stats.
 - `WELIST_SERVER_URL`: URL to POST stats to (validated against SSRF).
 - `WELIST_SKIP_URL_VALIDATION`: Bypass URL validation (for testing).
 - `BAL_PUSHER_PREFER_IPV6`: Pin HTTP connection to IPv6 address.
 - Per-network: `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_HOST`, `_PORT`, `_DIR_PATH`, `_DB_FIELD`, `_COOKIE_FILE`, `_RPC_USER`, `_RPC_PASSWORD`, `_ZMQ_HASHBLOCK`.

  ```json
  {
    "accepted": 2,
    "rejected": 0,
    "details": [...]
  }
  ```
 - **Response (400 Bad Request):** If all transactions are invalid, the fee is missing, or the locktime is not acceptable.
 - **Response (413 Payload Too Limited):** If the request body exceeds the configured max size (default 1 MiB).
 - **Security Note:** Invalid transactions or those not paying the required fees are not inserted into the database.
 ### `POST /searchtx`

    "status": 1,
    "tx": "020000000...",
    "our_address": "bcrt1q...",
    "our_fees": 1000,
    "reqid": "192.168.1.1"
  }
  ```
 - **Response (400 Bad Request):** If the txid is not exactly 64 hex characters.
 - **Response (404 Not Found):** If the transaction is not found in the database.
 ---
 ## ZMQ Messages (consumed by `bal-pusher`)
 ### Topic: `hashblock`
 - **Format:** A multipart ZMQ message. The first frame is the topic name (`hashblock`), the second frame is the 32-byte block hash.
 - **Trigger:** When a new Bitcoin block is found by the local node.
 - **Action:** The pusher fetches `getblockchaininfo` from the RPC, gets the updated `mediantime` and `blocks` height, then queries and pushes pending transactions.
 - **Endpoint:** Per-network (e.g., `tcp://127.0.0.1:28332` for mainnet).
 - **Timeout:** 5 seconds (`ZMQ_RCVTIMEO`). The pusher logs a warning after ~720 consecutive timeouts (~1 hour).
 ---
 ## Bitcoin Core RPC Usage (used by `bal-pusher`)
 ### `sendrawtransaction`
 - **Method:** `sendrawtransaction` (RPC `2`)
 - **Parameters:** `hexstring` (the raw hex of the transaction to broadcast).
 - **Description:** Broadcasts the transaction to the Bitcoin network. If the transaction is invalid (e.g., `bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent`), the RPC will return an error with a negative code (e.g., `-25`).
 - **Error Handling:** The pusher catches these errors, logs them, and updates the database status to `2` (failed) with the error in `push_err`.
 ### `getblockchaininfo`
 - **Method:** `getblockchaininfo` (RPC `1`)
 - **Parameters:** None.
 - **Description:** Returns the current blockchain state, including `mediantime` (median timestamp of the last 11 blocks) and `blocks` (best block height). Used to evaluate `nLockTime` of pending transactions.
 ### `getblock`
 - **Method:** `getblock` (RPC `1`)
 - **Parameters:** `blockhash`, `verbosity` (set to `1` for JSON with timestamp).
 - **Description:** Fetches block details. Used as an alternative for median time calculation.
 ### RPC Authentication
 Authentication is done via `bitcoincore-rpc` using either:
 - **`UserPass`**: `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_RPC_USER` and `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_RPC_PASSWORD`.
 - **`CookieFile`**: `$HOME/.bitcoin/{dir_path}.cookie` or custom path via `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_COOKIE_FILE`.
 The client tries username/password auth first, then falls back to cookie file auth.
 ---
 ## Ed25519 Stats Signing
 The pusher signs the statistics payload before sending it to the `welist` server:
 1. Collects statistics from the database.
 2. Serializes the stats as JSON.
 3. Signs the JSON payload with the Ed25519 private key (`privkey.pem`).
 4. Sends the payload with the base64-encoded signature in the `X-Signature` header.
 5. The `welist` server can verify the signature using the public key served at `GET /.pub_key.pem`.

 ---
 ## Database Technology
 - **Engine:** `sqlite` (Rust `sqlite` crate, version 0.34.0)
 - **File:** `bal.db` (default, configurable via `BAL_SERVER_DB_FILE` / `BAL_PUSHER_DB_FILE`)
 - **Connection Management:** Shared `Arc<Mutex<Connection>>` in `bal-server`, single connection in `bal-pusher`.
 - **WAL Mode:** Enabled via `PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL` with retry logic (up to 5 attempts) for concurrent access safety.
 - **Busy Timeout:** Set to 5000ms via `PRAGMA busy_timeout=5000`.
 - **Synchronous Mode:** Set to `NORMAL` via `PRAGMA synchronous=NORMAL`.
 - **Path Validation:** The `open_db` function validates the database path before opening, rejecting directory traversal (`..`), forbidden system directories (`/etc`, `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, `/usr`, `/bin`, `/sbin`, `/lib`, `/opt`), and symlinks.

    status INTEGER DEFAULT 0,           -- INTEGER: 0 = waiting, 1 = sent, 2 = failed
    push_err TEXT                       -- TEXT: The error message if the RPC broadcast failed
 );
 ALTER TABLE tbl_tx ADD COLUMN push_err TEXT;
 ```
 - **Indexes:** The `txid` is the primary key, so it is automatically indexed.
 - **Notes:** `date_creation` and `date_update` track when the transaction was inserted and last modified. `locktime` is compared against the blockchain's best block height or `mediantime` (for timestamps above `LOCKTIME_THRESHOLD`). The `status` column is the core of the transaction lifecycle state machine. `push_err` stores the RPC error message when status=2.
 ### `tbl_inp` (Transaction Inputs)
 ```sql
 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tbl_inp (
    id,                                 -- INTEGER: Auto-increment ID
    txid,                               -- TEXT: The transaction ID of the transaction being submitted
    in_txid,                            -- TEXT: The previous transaction ID (output being spent)
    in_vout                             -- INTEGER: The previous output index
 );
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ON tbl_inp(txid, in_txid, in_vout);
 ```
 - **Purpose:** Tracks all inputs of submitted transactions. Enables identification of double-spends.
 - **Constraints:** A unique index prevents duplicate entries for the same input in the same transaction.
 ### `tbl_out` (Transaction Outputs)
 ```sql
 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tbl_out (
    id,                                 -- INTEGER: Auto-increment ID
    txid,                               -- TEXT: The transaction ID of the transaction being submitted
    script_pubkey,                      -- TEXT: The hex scriptPubKey of this output
    amount,                             -- TEXT: The amount in this output (satoshi)
    vout                                -- INTEGER: The output index (0-based) in this transaction
 );
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ON tbl_out(txid, script_pubkey, amount, vout);
 ```
 - **Purpose:** Tracks all outputs of submitted transactions. The server searches for the `script_pubkey` matching the `our_address` for the network to verify fee payment.
 - **Constraints:** A unique index prevents duplicate entries for the same output in the same transaction.
 ### `tbl_xpub` (Extended Public Keys)
 ```sql
 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tbl_xpub (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,             -- INTEGER: Auto-increment ID
    network TEXT,                        -- TEXT: The network name (e.g., 'regtest', 'bitcoin')
    xpub TEXT,                           -- TEXT: The extended public key (xpub, zpub, ypub, etc.)
    date_create TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    path_idx INTEGER DEFAULT -1          -- INTEGER: The next address index to derive for this xpub
 );
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_xpub ON tbl_xpub (network, xpub);
 ```
 - **Purpose:** Stores the master xpub/zpub/ypub keys for each network. When the server receives a transaction in xpub mode, it derives new receiving addresses from these keys.
 - **Relationships:** `tbl_xpub` is linked to `tbl_address` via `id`. The `path_idx` tracks which child index is the next unused one for the wallet's derivation path.
 ### `tbl_address` (Derived Addresses)
 ```sql
 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tbl_address (
    address TEXT PRIMARY_KEY,            -- TEXT: The Bech32 P2WPKH address (e.g., 'bcrt1q...')
    path TEXT NOT NULL,                  -- TEXT: The derivation path (e.g., 'm/0/0')
    date_create TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    xpub INTEGER,                        -- INTEGER: The ID of the xpub in `tbl_xpub`
    remote_address TEXT                  -- TEXT: IP or client identifier that requested this address
 );
 ```
 - **Purpose:** Stores all generated addresses. In xpub mode, addresses are derived on-demand per requesting IP.
 - **Relationships:** `xpub` (FK) links to `tbl_xpub.id`. `remote_address` is used for rate-limiting and preventing address reuse per IP.
 ### `tbl_stats` (Per-Network Statistics)
 ```sql
 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tbl_stats (
    report_date TEXT,                    -- TEXT: The ISO timestamp of the report
    chain TEXT,                          -- TEXT: The network name (e.g., 'regtest', 'bitcoin')
    totals INTEGER,                      -- INTEGER: Total number of transactions submitted
    waiting INTEGER,                     -- INTEGER: Transactions currently waiting (status=0)
    sent INTEGER,                        -- INTEGER: Transactions successfully sent (status=1)
    failed INTEGER,                      -- INTEGER: Transactions that failed to broadcast (status=2)
    waiting_profit INTEGER,              -- INTEGER: Total fees for waiting transactions (satoshi)
    sent_profit INTEGER,                 -- INTEGER: Total fees for sent transactions (satoshi)
    missed_profit INTEGER,               -- INTEGER: Total fees for failed/expired transactions (satoshi)
    unique_inputs INTEGER                -- INTEGER: The number of unique inputs (for deduplication analysis)
 );
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_stats_chain ON tbl_stats(chain);
 ```
 - **Purpose:** Stores aggregate statistics for each network. The pusher calculates and upserts stats (`ON CONFLICT(chain) DO UPDATE`). The server reads from it for the `stats` endpoint if `expose_stats` is enabled.
 - **Relationships:** `chain` has a unique index. Data is updated by `bal-pusher` via `calculate_stats`.
 ---
 ## Data Query Strategy
 ### Key Queries
 - **Get Pending Transactions (by status and locktime):**
  ```sql
  SELECT * FROM tbl_tx
  WHERE network = :network
    AND status = :status
    AND (locktime < :bestblock_height
         OR locktime > :locktime_threshold AND locktime < :bestblock_time);
  ```
  Used by the `bal-pusher` to find transactions ready to broadcast. The `locktime_threshold` constant distinguishes block heights from timestamps.
 - **Insert Transaction (batched):**
  ```sql
  INSERT INTO tbl_tx (txid, wtxid, ntxid, tx, locktime, network, network_fees, reqid, our_fees, our_address)
  UNION ALL SELECT ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?
  UNION ALL SELECT ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?
  -- ... more rows
  ```
  Used by `bal-server` for efficient bulk inserts.
 - **Update Status:**
  ```sql
  UPDATE tbl_tx SET status = ? WHERE txid = ?;
  ```
  Used by the pusher after broadcast. Status `1` = sent, `2` = failed.
  ```sql
  UPDATE tbl_tx SET status = 2, push_err = ? WHERE txid = ?;
  ```
  For failed broadcasts, the error message is stored.
 - **Check Duplicate Txids:**
  ```sql
  SELECT txid FROM tbl_tx WHERE txid IN (?, ?, ?, ...);
  ```
  Used by `bal-server` to batch-check duplicates before inserting. Chunks in groups of 500 for SQLite parameter limit safety.
 - **Search Transaction:**
  ```sql
  SELECT * FROM tbl_tx WHERE txid = ?;
  ```
  Used by the `searchtx` endpoint.
 - **Get All Addresses by XPub:**
  ```sql
  SELECT a.address
  FROM tbl_address a
  JOIN tbl_xpub x ON a.xpub = x.id
  WHERE x.xpub = ?;
  ```
  Used to load all known addresses for an xpub in a single query, enabling O(1) fee validation in the push handler.
 - **Get Last Used Address by IP:**
  ```sql
  SELECT address FROM tbl_address
  WHERE remote_address = ? AND xpub = ?
  ORDER BY date_create DESC LIMIT 1;
  ```
  Used to check if an IP already has a generated address (address reuse prevention).
 - **Get Next Address Index:**
  ```sql
  UPDATE tbl_xpub SET path_idx = path_idx + 1
  WHERE network = ? AND xpub = ?
  RETURNING id, path_idx;
  ```
  Atomically increments the derivation index and returns the new value.
 ---
 ## Data Lifecycle
 - **Creation:** Transactions are created when a user submits raw hex tx via `POST /{network}/pushtxs`. Addresses are derived on-demand in xpub mode.
 - **Waiting:** Transactions are in `status=0` and are queried by the pusher every new block.
 - **Broadcast:** Transactions are pushed via `sendrawtransaction`. If successful, status becomes `1`. If the RPC returns an error, status becomes `2` and the error is stored in `push_err`.
 - **Statistics:** The pusher aggregates stats from the database and upserts into `tbl_stats` with `ON CONFLICT(chain) DO UPDATE`.
 - **Retention:** There is no explicit cleanup mechanism for old records. For production, a periodic vacuum or purge of old `status=1` transactions may be required.
 - **Backup:** The database is a single SQLite file. It can be copied directly using `cp` or `rsync`. WAL mode ensures consistency during copies.

 ## Docker
 The project provides two Dockerfiles:
 ### `Dockerfile.release` — Download pre-built release (recommended for production)
 Downloads the latest release from the Gitea server. No Rust toolchain needed. Fast builds.
 ```bash
 # Latest release
 docker build -f Dockerfile.release -t bal-server .
 # Specific version
 docker build -f Dockerfile.release --build-arg BAL_VERSION=v0.3.2 -t bal-server:0.3.2 .
 ```
 - Fetches `.tar.gz` from `https://bitcoin-after.life/gitea/api/v1/repos/bitcoinafterlife/bal-server/releases/latest`.
 - Verifies SHA-256 checksum if available.
 - Single-stage image (`debian:bookworm-slim`), minimal size.
 - `BAL_VERSION` build arg: set to a tag (e.g., `v0.3.2`) to pin a specific release.
 ### `Dockerfile` — Build from source
 Multi-stage build with the Rust toolchain. Use for development or custom builds.
 - **Builder stage:** `rust:1.95-bookworm` with full build. Each binary is compiled with only its required features (`--no-default-features --features server` / `--features pusher`).
 - **Runtime stage:** `debian:bookworm-slim` with minimal runtime.
 - **User:** Non-root `bal` user (uid 1000).
 - **PID 1:** `tini` for proper signal handling.
 - **Healthcheck:** `curl -f http://localhost:9137/ || exit 1`.
 ### Run (both Dockerfiles)
 ```bash
 docker run -d \
  --name bal-server \
  -v /var/bal:/var/bal \
  --env-file bal-server.env \
  -p 127.0.0.1:9137:9137 \
  bal-server
 ```
 ---
 ## System Services
 ### `bal-server.service` (Systemd Unit)
 ```ini
 [Unit]
 Description=Bal Server
 After=network.target
 [Service]
 User=bal
 Group=bal
 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/bal-server
 Restart=always
 RestartSec=5
 WorkingDirectory=/var/bal
 EnvironmentFile=/var/bal/bal-server.env
 ProtectSystem=full
 NoNewPrivileges=true
 PrivateDevices=true
 MemoryDenyWriteExecute=true
 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user
 ```
 - Runs as a dedicated non-privileged `bal` user.
 - Hardened with `ProtectSystem=full`, `NoNewPrivileges=true`, `PrivateDevices=true`, `MemoryDenyWriteExecute=true`.
 ### `bitcoind.service` (Bitcoin Core Daemon)
 ```ini
 [Unit]
 Description=Bitcoin Core Daemon
 After=network.target
 [Service]
 User=bitcoin
 Group=bitcoin
 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/bitcoind ... -zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332 ...
 Restart=on-failure
 RestartSec=30
 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user
 ```
 - Must be started with `zmqpubhashblock` (not `zmqpubrawblock`).
 - ZMQ ports must be bound to `127.0.0.1` only.
 ### `tbitcoind.service` (Testnet Bitcoind)
 Same as `bitcoind.service` but for testnet with a different data directory and ZMQ port (e.g., `tcp://127.0.0.1:23332`).
 ---
 ## Bash Scripts
 ### `bal-server.sh` (Development Server Startup)
 Sources `bal-server.env` and runs the development server:
 ```bash
 export $(grep -v '^#' bal-server.env | xargs)
 RUST_LOG=info cargo run --bin=bal-server 2>&1
 ```
 ### `bal-pusher.sh` (Development Pusher Startup)
 Sources `bal-pusher.env` and runs the pusher with a network argument:
 ```bash
 export $(grep -v '^#' bal-pusher.env | xargs)
 RUST_LOG=info cargo run --bin=bal-pusher $1
 ```
 ### `sendtx.sh` (Test Transaction Sender)
 A helper script that wraps `bitcoin-cli` for manual testing.
 ### `make_release.sh` (Release Builder)
 Builds release binaries, creates Git tags, and uploads to Gitea. Signs the release tarball with GPG. Release assets include `.tar.gz`, `.sha256`, `.sig`, and `.asc` files. Token is loaded from `.env` (not hardcoded).
 ### `download_bal_db.sh` (Database Pull Script)
 Uses `scp` to pull the production `bal.db` from a remote server.
 ---
 ## Nginx and SSL Configuration
 The `bal-server` is a plain HTTP server. A reverse proxy (Nginx) with TLS termination is required for production.
 ### Template: `contrib/nginx/bal-server.conf`
 ```nginx
 server {
    listen 80;
    server_name BAL_DOMAIN;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
 }
 server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name BAL_DOMAIN;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/BAL_DOMAIN/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/BAL_DOMAIN/privkey.pem;
    client_max_body_size 1m;
    add_header X-Frame-Options DENY;
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
    add_header Referrer-Policy no-referrer;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9137;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
    # Uncomment for rate limiting:
    # limit_req zone=pal limit=10 nodelay;
 }
 ```
 Key points:
 - `client_max_body_size` must match `BAL_SERVER_ACTIX_MAX_BODY_SIZE`.
 - `certbot --nginx` obtains the certificate automatically.
 - Security headers: `X-Frame-Options`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, `Referrer-Policy`.

 ## Production Deployment Checklist
 ### 1. `bal-server` Bind Address
 - [ ] `BAL_SERVER_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1` (never `0.0.0.0`).
 - [ ] `BAL_SERVER_BIND_PORT` matches Nginx `proxy_pass` (default `9137`).
 - [ ] Firewall blocks inbound connections to `BAL_SERVER_BIND_PORT` from external interfaces.
 ### 2. Reverse Proxy (Nginx + TLS)
 - [ ] Nginx installed (`contrib/download_and_install_bal.sh` handles this).
 - [ ] `contrib/nginx/bal-server.conf` template copied to `/etc/nginx/sites-available/`.
 - [ ] Real domain name replacing `BAL_DOMAIN`.
 - [ ] `listen 443 ssl http2` active.
 - [ ] `certbot --nginx` has obtained a valid certificate.
 - [ ] `proxy_pass` points to `http://127.0.0.1:9137`.
 - [ ] `client_max_body_size` matches `BAL_SERVER_ACTIX_MAX_BODY_SIZE`.
 - [ ] HTTP port 80 redirects to HTTPS.
 - [ ] Security headers configured.
 ### 3. Database and Secrets
 - [ ] Database file owned by `bal` user (`chown bal:bal /var/bal/bal.db`).
 - [ ] Database file permissions `600` (`chmod 600 /var/bal/bal.db`).
 - [ ] `.env` files in `.gitignore` and not committed.
 - [ ] `private_key.pem` / `privkey.pem` not in the repository.
 - [ ] `public_key.pem` readable by Nginx if served directly.
 ### 4. Pusher and ZMQ
 - [ ] ZMQ endpoints configured for `127.0.0.1` only.
 - [ ] `BAL_PUSHER_SEND_STATS=false` unless `welist` endpoint is needed.
 - [ ] If stats enabled, `WELIST_SERVER_URL` is a valid external HTTPS domain.
 - [ ] Firewall blocks inbound ZMQ ports from external interfaces.
 ### 5. Logging and Monitoring
 - [ ] `RUST_LOG=info` or `warn` in production (not `debug`/`trace`).
 - [ ] Log files rotated and stored under `/var/log/bal/` or systemd journal.
 - [ ] Log files not in the same directory as the database or private key.

 ## Tor and Privacy
 The `contrib/install_tor.sh` script installs Tor for onion-routed proxy use:
 1. `bal-server` can be reachable via a `.onion` address.
 2. `bal-pusher` can connect to Bitcoin RPC or `welist` through Tor.
 3. The server can run behind NAT without exposing the real IP.
 The script uses `ControlPort 9051` with `CookieAuthentication`. The `bal-pusher` supports SOCKS5 proxy via the `reqwest` `socks` feature for `.onion` connectivity.

 # Security Audit
 ## Quick Reference
 - **What this file contains:** threat model, vulnerability assessment, hardening recommendations, and a security checklist.
 - **See also:** [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md), [07_deployment_and_ops.md](07_deployment_and_ops.md), [06_database_schema.md](06_database_schema.md), [03_architecture_and_data_flow.md](03_architecture_and_data_flow.md), [04_modules_detail.md](04_modules_detail.md)
 ---
 ## Threat Model
 ### Assets
 1. **`bal.db` (SQLite database):** Contains all transaction details, user IP addresses, and stats data. Single unencrypted file on disk. WAL mode enabled for concurrent access safety.
 2. **Private Keys (`privkey.pem`):** Used to sign statistics payloads for the `welist` server. Located in `.gitignore`.
 3. **Bitcoin Node (`bitcoind`) Access:** The `bal-pusher` has RPC access. Compromise allows arbitrary transaction broadcasting.
 4. **Server Availability (`bal-server`):** Public-facing HTTP endpoint. DoS attacks threaten service availability.
 ### Attackers
 - **Remote Anonymous Users:** Can interact with the API via public HTTP. No credentials required.
 - **Network Man-in-the-Middle (MITM):** TLS termination is via Nginx reverse proxy. The `bal-server` itself is plain HTTP.
 - **Local/Insider Threats:** If the server is compromised, the attacker can access `bal.db`, private keys, and env files.
 ---
 ## Vulnerability Assessment
 ### 1. SQL Injection (FIXED)
 **Severity:** HIGH | **Status:** Fixed
 **Location:** `src/db.rs`, `src/bin/bal-server.rs`, `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs`
 **Description:** SQL queries previously used `format!()` for string interpolation. All queries now use parameterized statements (`?` with `bind()`).
 **Mitigation Applied:** All SQL queries rewritten with prepared statements. `execute_insert` uses parameterized batch inserts. `check_duplicate_txids` uses parameterized `IN` clauses. `echo_stats` handler uses prepared statements for chain filtering.
 **Regression Tests:** `tests/sql_injection_tests.rs` (3 tests).
 ### 2. Panic on Untrusted Input (FIXED)
 **Severity:** HIGH | **Status:** Fixed
 **Location:** `src/bin/bal-server.rs`, `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs`
 **Description:** All `unwrap()`/`expect()` calls on critical paths have been replaced with safe error handling.
 **Mitigation Applied:**
 - `bal-server`: `from_utf8` returns 400, `sqlite::open` uses `open_db()` with validation, all handlers return proper HTTP status codes.
 - `bal-pusher`: RPC failures log errors + sleep + retry (no panic), ZMQ `recv` uses `set_rcvtimeo(5000)`, `fs::read_to_string` uses `match` + 500, `cfg.lock()` uses `poisoned.into_inner()` recovery.
 **Regression Tests:** `tests/panic_regression_tests.rs` (2 tests).
 ### 3. Secret Leakage (FIXED)
 **Severity:** HIGH | **Status:** Fixed
 **Location:** `make_release.sh`, `.gitignore`
 **Description:** `make_release.sh` now loads `TOKEN` from `.env` (`.env.example` provided). Private keys (`.pem`, `.key`) are in `.gitignore`. `generate_keys.sh` sets `chmod 600` on generated keys.
 **Mitigation Applied:** Secrets removed from scripts and repository. `.gitignore` protects `.env`, `*.pem`, `*.key` files.
 **Regression Tests:** `tests/secret_leakage_tests.rs` (3 tests).
 ### 4. Denial of Service (DoS) (FIXED)
 **Severity:** HIGH | **Status:** Fixed
 **Location:** `src/bin/bal-server.rs` (HTTP), `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs` (ZMQ)
 **Description:** All DoS vectors mitigated via actix-web migration.
 **Mitigation Applied:**
 - Body size limit: `PayloadConfig::default().limit(max_body_size)` via `BAL_SERVER_ACTIX_MAX_BODY_SIZE` (default 1 MiB).
 - Rate limiting: `actix-governor` with token-bucket per endpoint (`BAL_SERVER_ACTIX_PUSHTXS_PER_SEC`/`BURST`).
 - Connection limits: `workers(4)` and `max_connections(100)` via `BAL_SERVER_ACTIX_WORKERS`/`MAX_CONNECTIONS`.
 - Body timeout: configurable via `BAL_SERVER_ACTIX_TIMEOUT_SECS`.
 - ZMQ timeout: `set_rcvtimeo(5000)` prevents infinite blocking.
 - RPC retry: sleep + retry on connection failure instead of panic.
 ### 5. SSRF / Network Abuse via `reqwest` (FIXED)
 **Severity:** MEDIUM | **Status:** Fixed
 **Location:** `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs`, `src/validation.rs`
 **Description:** URL validation prevents redirecting requests to internal/private IPs.
 **Mitigation Applied:** `is_valid_welist_url()` in `src/validation.rs` blocks localhost, loopback, RFC1918, link-local, multicast, unspecified, and IPv6 unique-local addresses. HTTPS-only scheme enforced.
 **Regression Tests:** `tests/ssrf_tests.rs` (integration) + 8 unit tests in `src/validation.rs`.
 ### 6. Insecure Database Access (FIXED)
 **Severity:** MEDIUM | **Status:** Fixed
 **Location:** `src/db.rs`, `src/bin/bal-server.rs`, `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs`
 **Description:** Database path validation and WAL mode for concurrent access.
 **Mitigation Applied:**
 - `open_db()` rejects `..` traversal, forbidden system directories (`/etc`, `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, `/usr`, `/bin`, `/sbin`, `/lib`, `/opt`), symlinks, and non-regular files.
 - WAL mode (`PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL`) with retry logic (up to 5 attempts).
 - `busy_timeout=5000` for concurrent access.
 - `bal-server` uses `Arc<Mutex<Connection>>` for thread-safe shared access.
 **Regression Tests:** `tests/db_path_validation.rs` (5 tests).
 ### 7. ZMQ Authentication and Encryption (OPEN)
 **Severity:** MEDIUM | **Status:** Open
 **Location:** `src/bin/bal-pusher.rs`
 **Description:** ZMQ connection is plaintext TCP. No authentication (ZAP), no encryption (ZMQ_CURVE). If the ZMQ port is exposed, any attacker can subscribe to topics.
 **Mitigation (Operational):**
 - Bind ZMQ to `127.0.0.1` only.
 - Firewall blocks external access to ZMQ ports.
 - If public ZMQ is required, use ZMQ_CURVE with public-key cryptography.
 ### 8. Missing HTTPS / Insecure Server Communication (FIXED)
 **Severity:** HIGH | **Status:** Fixed (Infrastructure)
 **Location:** Nginx configuration, `contrib/nginx/bal-server.conf`
 **Description:** TLS termination via Nginx reverse proxy. The `bal-server` intentionally does not implement TLS.
 **Mitigation Applied:**
 - Dedicated Nginx template with `listen 443 ssl http2`, Let's Encrypt paths.
 - Security headers: `X-Frame-Options`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, `Referrer-Policy`.
 - `client_max_body_size` matching `BAL_SERVER_ACTIX_MAX_BODY_SIZE`.
 - HTTP 80 redirect to HTTPS.
 - Deployment checklist ensures no accidental plain HTTP exposure.
 ### 9. Missing Input Validation (FIXED)
 **Severity:** MEDIUM | **Status:** Fixed
 **Location:** `src/bin/bal-server.rs`
 **Description:** Network, txid, and content validation.
 **Mitigation Applied:**
 - Network validation: `NETWORKS.contains(&param.as_str())` before processing. Unknown networks return 404.
 - Txid validation: `echo_search` requires exactly 64 ASCII hex characters. Non-hex or wrong length returns 400.
 - XPub address caching: `get_all_addresses_by_xpub` loads all addresses once per batch (O(1) lookup), eliminating N+1 queries.
 - Content-Length: Handled by actix-web `PayloadConfig` size limit.
 **Regression Tests:** `tests/input_validation_tests.rs` (4 tests).
 ### 10. Information Leakage (MITIGATED)
 **Severity:** LOW | **Status:** Mitigated
 **Location:** Application logs
 **Description:** Raw file logging (`valid_txs`/`invalid_txs`) has been removed. `info!`/`warn!` macros may still log txid and details in application logs.
 **Mitigation (Operational):** Set production `RUST_LOG` to `warn` or higher. Log files restricted with `chmod 600`.
 ### 11. `bal-stats.rs.dontcompile` (REMOVED)
 **Severity:** LOW | **Status:** Removed
 **Description:** The broken HTML report generator file no longer exists in the source tree.
 ---
 ## Hardening Recommendations
 ### System-Level
 1. Run as non-root user with systemd hardening (`ProtectSystem=full`, `NoNewPrivileges`, `PrivateDevices`, `MemoryDenyWriteExecute`).
 2. Use firewall to block all inbound ports except HTTPS (443) and SSH (22).
 3. Use VPN or Tor for `welist` connections if on public network.
 4. Run in a container or chroot for isolation.
 5. Enable SELinux or AppArmor profiles for the binaries.
 6. Use read-only filesystem for the server binary.
 ### Application-Level
 1. **Rate Limiting:** Implemented via `actix-governor` with per-endpoint token-bucket configuration.
 2. **Input Validation:** Network enum check, txid hex validation, body size limits.
 3. **HTTPS:** Via Nginx reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt.
 4. **WAL Mode:** Enabled with retry logic for concurrent access.
 5. **ZMQ Timeout:** 5-second receive timeout prevents infinite blocking.
 6. **Transaction Size Limits:** Configurable via rate limiting and body size.
 7. **ZMQ Retry:** Reconnect logic with timeout-based detection.
 8. **Fee Limits:** Per-network `fixed_fee` configuration.
 9. **Network Limits:** Only known networks accepted (bitcoin, testnet, testnet4, signet, regtest).
 10. **Locktime Reasonableness:** Locktime compared against blockchain height and median time with threshold-based distinction.

svatantrya	59250289a7	perf: reduce binary sizes from 15M/11M to 3.8M/5.5M - Add [profile.release]: opt-level=z, lto=true, strip=true, codegen-units=1, panic=abort - Replace vendored openssl (~5MB) with ed25519-dalek (pure Rust, ~100KB) - Feature-gate deps: server (actix, chrono) vs pusher (zmq, reqwest, ed25519-dalek) - Remove unused confy dependency - bal-pusher: 15M -> 3.8M (-75%) - bal-server: 11M -> 5.5M (-50%)	2026-07-19 19:27:42 -04:00
svatantrya	0f0f0a08c3	Merge origin/main: resolve conflicts and add 10s timeout to welist_http_client	2026-07-19 18:13:21 -04:00
svatantrya	6e6c634e98	fix(pusher): allow bypassing SSRF validation for local dev and fix RUST_LOG export - Add WELIST_SKIP_URL_VALIDATION env var to bypass URL validation in dev - Fix bal-pusher.sh: export RUST_LOG so env_logger picks up log level - Add WELIST_SKIP_URL_VALIDATION=true to bal-pusher.sh for regtest use	2026-07-19 17:48:43 -04:00
svatantrya	efcd91e6b4	fix(pusher): add ZMQ diagnostic logging and heartbeat monitoring - Log ZMQ subscribe confirmation with address - Add consecutive timeout counter with periodic warn every 60s - Log ZMQ connection restored after timeouts - Log main_result errors instead of discarding with let _=	2026-07-19 15:55:49 -04:00
svatantrya	22b60e55c7	Merge pull request 'pusher: optional IPv6 preference for welist reports + log report failures' (#1 ) from SAFE21.io/bal-server:fix/pusher-welist-ipv6-preference into main Reviewed-on: bitcoinafterlife/bal-server#1	2026-07-19 15:09:00 +00:00
SAFE21	7fe5fd3139	fix(pusher): log send_stats_report errors instead of discarding main_result called send_stats_report/calculate_stats with 'let _ = ...', silently dropping any failure. A broken welist route (e.g. unreachable IPv4 path) is then invisible in the logs and can go unnoticed for a long time. Log failures with warn! so connectivity problems are diagnosable.	2026-07-19 14:09:41 +02:00
SAFE21	b46f85f436	feat(pusher): optional IPv6 preference for welist reports (BAL_PUSHER_PREFER_IPV6) The welist host publishes both A and AAAA records. On networks where the IPv4 route is broken (connection stalls after the TCP handshake) while IPv6 works, the default connector may pick the broken family and the report request hangs. When BAL_PUSHER_PREFER_IPV6 is truthy, the pusher now resolves the welist host itself and pins the reqwest client to its first IPv6 address; the original hostname is still used for the Host header and TLS SNI. When the variable is unset (default) or no AAAA record exists, behavior is completely unchanged. Includes unit tests for the URL host/port parsing and documentation in docs/07_deployment_and_ops.md.	2026-07-19 14:09:01 +02:00
svatantrya	cd24eda111	fix(pusher): improve welist response logging, error handling, and add request timeout - Always log HTTP status code and response body from welist (info level) - Log send_stats_report errors at call site instead of silently discarding - Add 10s timeout to reqwest client to prevent indefinite hangs - Apply clippy fixes (is_empty, if-let chains, dead_code, etc.)	2026-07-18 22:58:42 -04:00
svatantrya	8ce3f6a445	fix(pushtxs): skip invalid txs instead of aborting batch, anonymize error responses - parse_request_transactions now skips txs without willexecutor output instead of returning an error that aborts the entire batch - returns 'error' (400) only when NO txs are valid - all HTTP error bodies replaced with generic 'error' to avoid leaking internal details	2026-07-18 21:35:39 -04:00
svatantrya	190cac929e	refactor: rename bal-server-actix.rs to bal-server.rs - Rename src/bin/bal-server-actix.rs -> src/bin/bal-server.rs - Update Cargo.toml to point to new filename - Update Dockerfile reference - Update docs/08_security_audit.md references	2026-07-17 10:31:56 -04:00
