Implementation of Issues #102-105

This document describes the complete implementation of four critical issues for the LeaseFlow Protocol Backend.

Overview

  • Issue #105: Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) for Failed Soroban RPC Syncs
  • Issue #103: Postgres Row-Level Security for Multi-Lessor Isolation
  • Issue #104: Redis-Backed Rate Limiting for IoT Endpoints
  • Issue #102: Lessee "Proof of History" Reputation Indexer

Issue #105: Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) for Failed Soroban RPC Syncs

Problem

Uncaught exceptions during event processing could crash the entire ingestion engine, freezing dashboard updates permanently.

Solution

Implemented a comprehensive BullMQ-based Dead Letter Queue system with:

Key Features:

  • BullMQ Integration: Three-tier queue system (ingestion, DLQ, retry)
  • Automatic Retry Logic: 3 attempts with exponential backoff
  • Critical Event Detection: Prioritizes lease events (LeaseStarted: 10, SubleaseCreated: 8)
  • Administrative API: POST /admin/dlq/retry for manual job replay
  • Alert System: Immediate notifications for critical lease events
  • Ledger Tracking: Prevents infinite loops with last_ingested_ledger pointer

Files Created:

  • src/services/dlqService.js - Core DLQ service
  • src/routes/dlqRoutes.js - Administrative endpoints
  • src/tests/dlq.test.js - Comprehensive tests

Database Schema:

-- DLQ events table
CREATE TABLE dlq_events (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  original_job_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  event_type TEXT NOT NULL,
  ledger_number INTEGER NOT NULL,
  event_payload TEXT NOT NULL,
  error_message TEXT NOT NULL,
  error_stack TEXT,
  failed_at TEXT NOT NULL,
  retry_count INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 3,
  status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'failed'
);

-- Ledger tracking
CREATE TABLE ingestion_ledger_tracking (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT 'main',
  last_ingested_ledger INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
);

API Endpoints:

  • POST /admin/dlq/retry - Manual retry of failed jobs
  • GET /admin/dlq/jobs - List DLQ jobs with filtering
  • GET /admin/dlq/stats - Queue health statistics
  • POST /admin/dlq/jobs/:id/resolve - Mark job as resolved

Acceptance Criteria Met: ✅ Indexer worker never crashes permanently due to single bad ledger event ✅ Engineers receive immediate notification for critical lease events
✅ Failed ingestion jobs can be inspected and manually replayed

Issue #103: Postgres Row-Level Security for Multi-Lessor Isolation

Problem

Application-layer filtering could accidentally expose Lessor A's data to Lessor B due to WHERE clause bugs.

Solution

Implemented database-kernel level data isolation using PostgreSQL Row-Level Security:

Key Features:

  • Database-Level Security: RLS policies enforced at PostgreSQL kernel level
  • Automatic Context Injection: lessor_id columns added to all sensitive tables
  • Prisma Integration: set_current_lessor_id() function for context setting
  • Cross-Tenant Prevention: Even SELECT * queries are automatically filtered
  • SOC2 Compliance: Structural data separation for enterprise requirements

Files Created:

  • src/services/rowLevelSecurityService.js - RLS service implementation
  • src/tests/rowLevelSecurity.test.js - Security integration tests

Database Schema Updates:

-- Added lessor_id columns to sensitive tables
ALTER TABLE leases ADD COLUMN lessor_id TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE renewal_proposals ADD COLUMN lessor_id TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE utility_bills ADD COLUMN lessor_id TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE maintenance_jobs ADD COLUMN lessor_id TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE maintenance_tickets ADD COLUMN lessor_id TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE rent_payments ADD COLUMN lessor_id TEXT NOT NULL;

-- RLS Policies
CREATE POLICY leases_isolation_policy ON leases
FOR ALL TO authenticated_role
USING (lessor_id = get_current_lessor_id());

Security Functions:

-- Context management
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION set_current_lessor_id(lessor_id TEXT)
RETURNS VOID AS $$
BEGIN
  PERFORM set_config('app.current_lessor_id', lessor_id, true);
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql SECURITY DEFINER;

Acceptance Criteria Met: ✅ Cross-tenant data leakage is structurally impossible at database kernel level ✅ Developers don't rely entirely on application-layer filtering ✅ Implementation supports SOC2 compliance for physical data separation

Issue #104: Redis-Backed Rate Limiting for IoT Endpoints

Problem

500 smart locks rebooting simultaneously could overwhelm the API with status update requests.

Solution

Implemented Redis-backed token bucket rate limiting with per-IP enforcement:

Key Features:

  • Token Bucket Algorithm: Precise rate limiting with automatic token refill
  • Per-IP Enforcement: 60 requests/minute for IoT, 30/minute for webhooks
  • Global Protection: 10,000 requests/minute cluster-wide limit
  • HTTP 429 Responses: Proper Retry-After headers
  • Security Audit: Logging of throttled connections
  • Express Middleware: Easy integration with existing routes

Files Created:

  • src/services/rateLimitingService.js - Rate limiting service
  • src/tests/rateLimiting.test.js - Performance and accuracy tests

Rate Limit Configuration:

const config = {
  iotEndpoints: {
    windowMs: 60 * 1000,    // 1 minute
    maxRequests: 60,        // 60 requests per minute
    keyExpiry: 300          // 5 minutes
  },
  webhookEndpoints: {
    windowMs: 60 * 1000,    // 1 minute  
    maxRequests: 30,        // 30 requests per minute
    keyExpiry: 300
  },
  globalLimits: {
    windowMs: 60 * 1000,    // 1 minute
    maxRequests: 10000,     // 10k requests per minute globally
    keyExpiry: 300
  }
};

Middleware Usage:

// IoT endpoint protection
app.use('/api/v1/iot', rateLimitingService.createIotRateLimitMiddleware('sensor-data'));

// Webhook protection  
app.use('/api/v1/webhooks', rateLimitingService.createWebhookRateLimitMiddleware('payment-webhook'));

Acceptance Criteria Met: ✅ Backend is immune to connection flooding from physical hardware ✅ Individual devices cannot monopolize server resources
✅ Limits tracked globally across cluster using centralized Redis

Issue #102: Lessee "Proof of History" Reputation Indexer

Problem

Lessors had no way to evaluate tenant risk based on on-chain leasing history.

Solution

Built decentralized credit score system with comprehensive historical analysis:

Key Features:

  • Historical Scanning: Analyzes entire leasing lifecycle
  • Multi-Factor Scoring: Completed leases, payments, defaults, deposit handling
  • Time Decay Algorithm: Older events have reduced impact (36-month decay)
  • Fast API Endpoint: GET /api/v1/users/:pubkey/reputation
  • Transparent Grading: A-F letter grades with detailed breakdowns
  • Caching System: 5-minute cache for performance

Files Created:

  • src/services/reputationIndexerService.js - Reputation calculation engine
  • src/routes/reputationRoutes.js - API endpoints
  • src/tests/reputationIndexer.test.js - Algorithm accuracy tests

Scoring Algorithm:

const weighting = {
  completedLeases: 0.25,    // 25% weight
  payments: 0.35,           // 35% weight (most important)
  defaults: 0.30,           // 30% weight (very important)  
  deposits: 0.10            // 10% weight
};

// Time decay: events older than 36 months have 90% reduced impact
const timeWeight = 1.0 - (monthsSinceEvent / 36) * 0.9;

API Endpoints:

  • GET /api/v1/users/:pubkey/reputation - Get reputation score
  • GET /api/v1/users/:pubkey/reputation/history - Detailed history
  • POST /api/v1/reputation/batch - Batch processing (up to 50 users)
  • GET /api/v1/reputation/stats - Global statistics

Score Breakdown Example:

{
  "pubkey": "GB7T...",
  "score": 78.5,
  "breakdown": {
    "completedLeasesScore": { "score": 85, "weight": 0.25 },
    "paymentScore": { "score": 92, "weight": 0.35 },
    "defaultScore": { "score": 100, "weight": 0.30 },
    "depositScore": { "score": 70, "weight": 0.10 }
  },
  "grading": { "grade": "B+", "description": "Above Average" }
}

Acceptance Criteria Met: ✅ Lessors empowered with data-driven risk assessment insights ✅ Lessees build portable, undeniable on-chain reputation
✅ Algorithmic scoring is transparent, fair, and decays outdated events
