fix(dashmate): detect and report gateway certificate problems - #4420
Merged
Conversation
`dashmate doctor` could not report a certificate problem for any SSL
provider. Five defects stacked on top of each other:
1. `collectSamplesTaskFactory` did not await `validateZeroSslCertificate`.
`error` and `data` destructured off a Promise and were both undefined,
`obfuscateObjectRecursive(undefined, …)` is a silent no-op, and the
analyser gates on `ssl?.error` — so a ZeroSSL certificate never produced
a problem, no matter how long it had been expired.
2. The three metrics samples did not await `fetchTextOrError`, storing an
unresolved Promise. Diagnostic archives serialised it as `{}`, so reports
from nodes with metrics enabled carried no metrics at all.
3. `analyseConfigFactory` used `{block.cyanBright …}`, which is not a chalk
style. The message table is one object literal, built eagerly, so this
threw `Unknown Chalk style: block` for *every* certificate error of every
provider — including a Let's Encrypt renewal failure, where the operator
got a one-line crash instead of the diagnosis.
4. Two ZeroSSL messages dereferenced `ssl?.data?.certificate.expires` and
`.common_name` without optional chaining. Errors raised before the
certificate is fetched (API key unset, external IP unset) threw while the
table was being built.
5. `ZEROSSL_ERRORS` and `LETSENCRYPT_ERRORS` share the names
`CERTIFICATE_EXPIRES_SOON` and `EXTERNAL_IP_IS_NOT_SET`. In a single
literal the later Let's Encrypt entry won, so an expiring ZeroSSL
certificate was reported as a Let's Encrypt one and the suggested fix was
the wrong provider's command. Messages are now grouped per provider and
selected by the configured provider, so neither can shadow the other.
Defect 1 has been present since the doctor shipped (f2ded52).
Tests would have caught this in CI. Both new specs run against the unfixed
source first:
RED (7 failing, 2 passing)
analyseConfigFactory
1) Let's Encrypt certificate that expires soon
2) ZeroSSL certificate that expires soon
3) ZeroSSL API key is not set
4) external IP is not set
5) certificate files are not found
-> Error: Unknown Chalk style: block
collectSamplesTaskFactory
6) ZeroSSL certificate that expired months ago
-> expected undefined to equal 'CERTIFICATE_EXPIRES_SOON'
7) metrics collected as text
-> expected Promise{…} to equal 'metrics_sample 1'
GREEN (9 passing)
Defect 5 is masked in that run by defect 3 throwing first; it was observed
in isolation once the chalk style was corrected, as
`expected 'Let's Encrypt certificate expires at…' to include 'ZeroSSL
certificate expires at'`.
Full dashmate unit suite: 299 passing.

…erving Every certificate check dashmate had read a file or asked the provider's API. Nothing ever opened a connection to see what the gateway presents, so a certificate that was renewed on disk but never reached Envoy — a missed reload, an un-copied bundle — looked healthy to all of them. A live scan of mainnet found 88 of 353 evonodes serving an expired certificate, unreachable by any standards-compliant client, some for over a year. Doctor now connects to the gateway and reports what it serves: - expired, with the two causes distinguished. Serving an expired certificate while a newer one sits on disk means renewal never reached the gateway, and the fix is a restart; serving an expired certificate that matches disk means renewal itself is failing, and the fix is in the helper's logs. Both were one indistinguishable message before. - renewed on disk but not picked up, while the served one is still valid. This is the only warning that arrives before the node goes dark. - not trusted by standard clients, reported separately from expiry because a connection surfaces only its first verification failure, so an expired and untrusted certificate would otherwise hide the second fault. - issued for the wrong address, judged against the external IP rather than the address dialled. This is evaluated first and stops the comparisons below it: a certificate that does not name this node means the connection did not reach this node's gateway, so its contents say nothing about this node. - the gateway not answering TLS at all. Inbound port 80, which both providers validate over, is collected and reported only alongside a certificate problem. The port is bound for the seconds a validation takes, so an external check finds it closed on healthy nodes too: in the mainnet scan 52 nodes with valid, actively renewing certificates looked identical to 4 expired ones. Reported on its own it would fire thirteen times more often than it is right; reported as a possible cause of a renewal that is demonstrably failing, it is the first thing to check. Validity is judged against the time the samples were taken rather than the time they are analysed, because a report is commonly opened days after collection and a Let's Encrypt certificate for an IP address lives about six days. The served certificate is flattened to plain values before it is stored. A verified chain ends at a self-signed root whose issuer points back at itself, and that cycle makes both JSON serialisation and the sample obfuscation pass throw — on healthy nodes only, since a chain that fails verification terminates early. Tests cover the probe against real TLS servers, including a peer that accepts the connection and never completes the handshake and one that trickles bytes to keep an inactivity timer alive, since the socket timeout option is not a deadline and does not close the connection. Full dashmate unit suite: 320 passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two halves of the same gap: renewal could produce a certificate the gateway
never used, and nothing said so.
`dashmate ssl obtain` wrote the certificate files and exited. Only the helper's
scheduled renewal signalled the gateway, so an operator who ran the command that
doctor recommends saw it succeed while the gateway kept serving the previous
certificate until the node happened to be restarted. The command now reloads the
gateway, and skips that step with an explanatory message when the gateway is not
running, which is normal during setup.
`validateLetsEncryptCertificate` already computed whether the issued certificate
pair was the pair the gateway uses — the helper exists for exactly this, and its
own comment says file existence cannot distinguish a completed install from a
partial one. The result was assigned and never read, so the case it was written
to catch was reported as a healthy node. It is now returned as
CERTIFICATE_NOT_INSTALLED with a message telling the operator to restart, which
also covers a certificate that was issued but never installed at all.
This is deliberately a file-based check even though the gateway is also probed
directly: it works when the gateway is stopped, when platform is disabled, and
when a diagnostic archive is analysed later, none of which a live probe can do.
Tests would have caught this in CI:
RED
validateLetsEncryptCertificateFactory
✖ renewed certificate never copied to the gateway
✖ certificate issued but never installed at all
-> expected undefined to equal 'CERTIFICATE_NOT_INSTALLED'
SSL obtain command
✖ should reload the gateway so the new certificate is served
-> expected stub to have been called with 'gateway', 'kill -SIGHUP 1'
GREEN, and the suite is 326 passing.
The validator assertions deliberately match the literal error name rather than
the enum member: written against the enum they compared undefined to undefined
and passed before the fix existed.

…ir plan Four fifths of the ZeroSSL nodes on mainnet serve an expired certificate, and every certificate message told their operators to run `dashmate ssl obtain`. That command renews with the provider already configured, so for an operator whose account can no longer issue one it is the same failure again. It does work for an operator whose plan has certificates available, and dashmate cannot see which case it is looking at, so both routes are offered rather than one being asserted to be the answer. The Let's Encrypt route states what it costs — certificates for IP addresses last six days and renew on their own, against the ninety days a ZeroSSL certificate lasts — so switching is a choice rather than a nudge. Where ZeroSSL itself explained the failure, that explanation is now the description. Its API names an exhausted certificate limit, an unpaid invoice or a rejected key directly, which is more use than anything inferred from the certificate. An API failure that carried no message was previously dropped entirely, because the description doubles as the check for whether a problem exists. Also corrects a suggestion to run `dashmate ssl zerossl obtain`, which is not a command that exists. Only `obtain` and `cleanup` live under `dashmate ssl`. Tests would have caught this in CI: five assertions covering both routes being offered, the cost being stated, ZeroSSL's own reason being surfaced, an empty API failure still being reported, and no non-existent command being suggested. ✖ all five before, ✔ after. Suite: 331 passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The served-certificate probe assumed doctor only ever runs from the host, on the grounds that the helper's API exposes status and nothing else. That is true of the API and not of the command: dashmate is installed in the helper image and DASHMATE_HELPER is set there, so running the CLI in that container is possible and reports isHelper. The gateway's listener is published to the host. Inside the helper the same address is that container's own loopback, nothing answers, and the probe returned unreachable — which the analysis reports as "the gateway did not answer a TLS connection" on a node whose gateway is perfectly healthy. Exactly the kind of false alarm the check exists to avoid. The helper and self-signed cases are now recorded as explicitly skipped, with a reason, rather than being dropped by an enabled() guard. An absent sample and a deliberately skipped one are indistinguishable to a reader of a diagnostic archive, and only one of them is a statement about the node. Test would have caught this in CI: ✖ before: expected 'unreachable' to equal 'skipped' ✔ after Suite: 332 passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The comment on the served-certificate probe justified using the published address by asserting that doctor only ever runs from the CLI because the helper's API exposes status and nothing else. That reasoning was wrong: it describes the API surface, not where the command can run. The conclusion it supported is right for the reason that was never stated — doctor is a diagnostic an operator runs on the node, so the gateway's listener is reached where it is published. Also drops the helper guard added in the previous commit. It was written for `docker exec dashmate_helper dashmate doctor`, which nothing does: the helper's entrypoint is its own script, its API accepts only status, and neither scripts/helper.js nor src/helper mentions doctor. Guarding a path that does not exist is speculation, and it cost a constructor dependency and a test asserting behaviour nothing reaches. Suite: 331 passing.

The port 80 check was named for ACME and ran for every provider. Only Let's Encrypt validates over ACME; ZeroSSL reaches the node through its own verification server (VerificationServer.js binds the same port for a different protocol). The check is now called what it is, and runs only for the two providers that validate at all — a self-signed or operator-supplied certificate is never validated, so the port says nothing about it. The sample is renamed to match. Dropped the username obfuscation pass over the probe result. It exists to keep local paths out of a diagnostic archive, and the probe records certificate fields and socket error codes, none of which can contain one. Trimmed the Let's Encrypt suggestion. Both providers renew on their own, so saying so does not separate them, and the certificate lifetimes it went on to compare are not something an operator has to weigh. What matters is that Let's Encrypt is free. Suite: 331 passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every certificate message told the operator to run `dashmate restart`, which stops Core as well. Only the gateway has to reload, and it sits in the platform profile, so `--platform` is enough. On a masternode the difference is not just scope. A full restart takes the stop path that waits for a DKG window, or skips it and risks a ban; the platform-only path avoids the question entirely by leaving Core running. Suite: 331 passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The probe tests placed a certificate in the past with `openssl req -not_before` /`-not_after`. Those options arrived in OpenSSL 3.5; the CI image ships 3.0, so the suite passed locally and would have failed there. Certificates are now built with node-forge, already a dependency and already used to read them, which has no such constraint and needs no subprocess. All three specs share one helper. Also removes a race in the gateway reload. It asked whether the gateway was running and then signalled it, but execCommand makes that same check itself and throws when it fails, so a gateway that stopped in between turned a completed certificate acquisition into a failed command — sending the operator back to a provider that may have nothing left to issue. The pre-check is gone and the error is treated as nothing to reload. Suite: 331 passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Its reasoning is kept verbatim, and the one difference retained is how a stopped gateway is handled. The merged task asked whether the gateway was running and then signalled it. `DockerCompose.execCommand` makes that check itself and throws, so the two answers can disagree, and by that point the certificate has already been obtained — reporting the whole command as failed would send an operator back to a provider that may have nothing left to issue. The gateway is now signalled directly and only a stopped-service failure is treated as nothing to reload; any other error still fails the command, which is covered by a new test. The upstream spec is kept whole, including the ZeroSSL and already-installed cases this branch did not have. Suite: 333 passing.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented
A live scan of all 353 registered mainnet evonodes found 88 (25%) serving an expired TLS
certificate, unreachable by any standards-compliant client. Some had been dark for over a
year. PoSe does not probe port 443, so those nodes keep their score at 0 and are paid on the
same cadence as healthy ones — the tooling was the only place this could surface, and it was
blind.
Two independent reasons it stayed invisible:
dashmate doctorcould not report a certificate problem for any provider. Five defectsstacked on top of each other, so no path reached the operator.
provider-API-based, so a certificate that renewed on disk but never reached Envoy — a missed
reload, an un-copied bundle — read as perfectly healthy everywhere.
Related: #4354 (mainnet shielded wallet sync fails because the SDK bootstrap list dials dead
evonodes).

Renewal that never reaches the gateway
dashmate ssl obtainwrote the certificate files and exited; only the helper's scheduledrenewal signalled the gateway. It now reloads the gateway, skipping with a message when the

CERTIFICATE_NOT_INSTALLED.ZeroSSL remediation
Every message told operators to run
dashmate ssl obtain, which renews with the provider alreadyconfigured. Whether that works depends on the operator's ZeroSSL plan, which dashmate cannot see,
so both renewing and switching to Let's Encrypt are offered, with the cost stated (IP certificates
are 6-day and auto-renewing). Where the ZeroSSL API explained the failure — exhausted limit,
unpaid invoice, rejected key — that explanation is now the description; an API failure carrying no
message was previously dropped entirely. Also corrects a suggestion to run
dashmate ssl zerossl obtain, which is not a command that exists.How Has This Been Tested?

test/unit/ssl/probeServedCertificate.spec.js— probe against realtls.createServerinstances: served/expired certificates, identity judged against
externalIprather than theprobed address, identity reported separately from the chain when both fail, and the degradation
cases (nothing listening; a peer that accepts TCP and never handshakes; a peer that trickles
bytes to keep an inactivity timer alive).
test/unit/doctor/analyse/analyseGatewayCertificateFactory.spec.js— one case per severity rowincluding the negatives, plus judging expiry against sample-collection time and port 80 being
silent on a healthy node.
test/unit/doctor/analyse/analyseConfigFactory.spec.js— pins that every provider's certificateerrors produce a problem rather than throwing, plus the ZeroSSL remediation content.
test/unit/listr/tasks/doctor/collectSamplesTaskFactory.spec.js— end-to-end sample collection,including a real TLS server so the probe wiring is exercised.
test/unit/ssl/letsencrypt/validateLetsEncryptCertificateFactory.spec.js— a renewedcertificate that was never installed for the gateway.
test/unit/commands/ssl/obtain.spec.js— gateway reload after obtaining, and skipped when thegateway is not running.
Every fix was written test-first and observed failing against the unfixed code before the fix
landed. Certificate fixtures are generated at test time rather than committed, so no test rots on
a date nobody chose.
