Segment 12
This sub-session focused on three major areas: diagnosing the stalled deal flow (CIDgravity API timeouts preventing new Filecoin deals), cleaning up legacy Lassie/Graphsync retrieval code, and enabling HTTP-only repair workers with supporting infrastructure changes. Key achievements included removing the Lassie dependency from go.mod and all source files (eliminating dead code in retr_checker.go, retr_provider.go, and deal_repair.go); rewriting deal_repair.go to implement HTTP-only group retrieval from storage providers with PieceCID verification; adding startRepairWorkers() to the startup path; extending the Ansible role with repair worker configuration; and deploying the new binary to both kuri nodes. The assistant then addressed two critical production issues: a 429 rate-limiting error from the api.chain.love Lotus gateway and a repair staging path error on a read-only partition. The user directed switching the Lotus API endpoint to pac-l-gw.devtty.eu and placing the repair staging path under RIBS_DATA. The assistant updated configuration defaults, modified deal_repair.go to resolve staging path relative to RIBS_DATA, and committed these changes. After redeployment, repair workers launched successfully, but the CIDgravity deal check failed again with 'connection refused' because the new gateway host was not listening on port 443 or other tested ports, indicating the endpoint service itself is not yet operational.
