CLAUDE.md (1)

44-103: Secciones de comandos esenciales claras pero requiere corrección de formato.

Las secciones "Setup", "Running the Application", "Testing" y "Code Quality" son excelentes y comandos están correctos. Sin embargo, static analysis flags muestran problemas de formato:

  • Línea 381, 386, 391, 397, 403: Usar encabezados ### en lugar de **emphasis** para títulos de sección

Ejemplo:

- Cambiar de: **MongoDB Connection Errors**
- Cambiar a: ### MongoDB Connection Errors
🧹 Nitpick comments (7)
CHANGELOG.md (1)

87-93: Guía de migración clara pero requiere verificación de completitud.

La sección Migration Guide proporciona 5 pasos accionables. Considera añadir referencias a las secciones de SECURITY.md relevantes (p.ej., "Handle new error responses") o enlace directo a documentación de rate limiting.

API_DOCUMENTATION.md (1)

79-106: Ejemplos de endpoints bien estructurados con respuestas completas.

Los ejemplos curl son correctos y educativos. Las respuestas incluyen todos los campos necesarios (nonce, difficulty, valid_hash). Considera añadir un comentario sobre timeouts de mining en la sección de "Mining Time" (línea 159-163) para alertar a usuarios sobre posibles comportamientos de espera prolongada.

SECURITY.md (1)

169-202: Configuración de MongoDB y nginx es práctica y educativa.

Los ejemplos YAML y nginx son correctos. La configuración de autenticación MongoDB es apropiadla. Sin embargo, línea 195 en la configuración nginx usa variables proxy_add_x_forwarded_for, que es correcto pero añade un comentario sobre que Rack::Attack usa remote_addr (podría causar desalineamiento si no se configura proxy correctamente).

CONTRIBUTING.md (1)

155-162: Requisitos de coverage correctos pero verifica consistencia de dificultad de testing.

Línea 154 sugiere "Keep tests fast: Use difficulty 1-2 for mining tests". Esto es correcto pero añade una nota: algunos tests podrían necesitar difficulty mayor para validar PoW correctamente. Considerar añadir ejemplo de test con dificultad variable o enlace a CLAUDE.md testing section.

DEPLOYMENT.md (2)

1-15: Guía de deployment con advertencia clara sobre naturaleza educativa.

La advertencia inicial sobre caution es crítica. La estructura seguida de Prerequisites es clara. Sin embargo, línea 4 dice "Production deployment guide" pero línea 5 advierte sobre proyecto educativo - esto es correcto pero podría mejorar con nota sobre "for learning environments" o similar.


181-260: Configuración de Nginx comprehensiva con rate limiting y security headers.

La config de nginx es excelente incluyendo rate limiting zones, security headers, y timeouts apropiados para mining. Sin embargo, línea 218 regex pattern en location podría ser más específica. Verifica que /api/v1/chain/.*/block$ coincida correctamente con ruta esperada.

README.md (1)

21-29: Sección de features v2 clara pero considera mejor organización visual.

La sección "Version 2 Features" enumera 7 características con checkmarks. Para mejorar legibilidad visual, considera agrupar por categoría (Mining, API, Security, Quality):

### Version 2 Features

**Mining & Consensus:**
-**Proof of Work (PoW)**...

**API & Security:**
-**API Versioning**...

🔇 Additional comments (21)
CHANGELOG.md (1)

15-93: Estructura clara y formato correcto según Keep a Changelog.

El documento sigue las convenciones de formato adecuadamente. La organización en secciones Added, Changed, y Breaking Changes es clara. Verifica que las referencias a PR (#1-#7) sean exactas y que los detalles técnicos (dificultad 1-10, endpoints /api/v1) sean consistentes con API_DOCUMENTATION.md y README.md.

API_DOCUMENTATION.md (2)

15-23: Documentación de rate limiting completa y consistente.

La tabla de rate limiting coincide correctamente con SECURITY.md (líneas 13-17) y README.md. Las especificaciones son claras y el formato es consistente.


398-445: Ejemplos de cliente Ruby, Python y JavaScript bien implementados.

Los ejemplos son funcionales y demuestran patrones correctos para cada lenguaje. Verificar que HTTParty (Ruby), requests (Python) y fetch (JavaScript) sean versiones soportadas y compatibles con la versión actual de Ruby 3.2.2 especificada en el proyecto.

SECURITY.md (2)

1-5: Descargo de responsabilidad claro sobre naturaleza educativa.

La advertencia inicial sobre que ChainForge es un proyecto educativo NOT para producción es crítica y está bien posicionada. Esto establece expectativas de seguridad correctamente.


243-263: Checklist de seguridad pre-deployment completo y accionable.

La checklist cubre aspectos críticos (MongoDB auth, HTTPS, firewall, rate limiting). Está bien estructurada para deployment en producción. Verifica que coincida con guía en DEPLOYMENT.md.

CONTRIBUTING.md (4)

1-39: Bienvenida clara y setup accesible para contribuyentes.

Las secciones iniciales establecen tono apropiado y Code of Conduct es importante. Los pasos de setup (rbenv, bundle, MongoDB) son claros. La configuración de .env.example copia es buena práctica.


56-77: Instrucciones de testing y calidad de código explícitas y completas.

Las secciones de "Test Your Changes" y comando COVERAGE son claras. El énfasis en >90% coverage se alinea bien con otros documentos (CLAUDE.md, README.md).


197-223: Proceso de PR clara con checklist pre-submisión.

La checklist es actionable y comprensiva. El énfasis en "Squash and merge" (línea 215) está claro. Verifica que el proceso de CI automatizado en GitHub Actions sea documentado en .github/workflows/ci.yml como se menciona en línea 211.


244-262: Guía de cambios de API y variables de entorno bien estructurada.

Las secciones sobre API changes y environment variables son prácticas y completas. Sin embargo, línea 249 menciona config/rack_attack.rb - verifica que esta ruta sea exacta en el repositorio (podría ser config/rack_attack.rb o similar).

DEPLOYMENT.md (1)

149-175: Systemd service configuration bien estructurada.

La configuración es correcta con ExecStart, Restart, etc. Sin embargo, línea 160 especifica ExecStart=/home/www-data/.rbenv/shims/bundle... - verifica que la ruta a rbenv sea correcta para usuario www-data. Típicamente rbenv se instala en /root/.rbenv (para root) o en home del usuario specific.

Considera usar:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/bundle exec rackup -p 1910 -o 127.0.0.1
README.md (6)

1-10: Introducción clarificada con énfasis en propósito educativo.

La línea 3 ahora declara explícitamente que ChainForge es proyecto educativo NOT para producción. Esto es excelente para establecer expectativas. El resto de badges y descripción en línea 10 es clara.


59-75: Configuración de ambiente bien documentada con pasos secuenciales.

La sección de Configuration (líneas 59-65) es clara. Sin embargo, la instrucción en línea 61 "Edit .env and configure:" seguida de 4 variables podría incluir valores de ejemplo en .env.example mismo. Verifica que .env.example exista en el repositorio.


130-147: Tabla de rate limiting consistente con API_DOCUMENTATION.md.

La tabla en líneas 134-139 coincide con especificaciones en API_DOCUMENTATION.md y SECURITY.md. Esto es correcto.


151-202: Ejemplos de API actualizados a /api/v1 pero requiere verificación de completitud.

Todos los ejemplos curl usan /api/v1 prefix correctamente (breaking change v2.0.0). Sin embargo, línea 168 especifica dificultad 3 pero línea 198-201 mining time table sugiere dificultad 3-4 toma "Few seconds" - verificar que el ejemplo es realista para demostración.


330-379: Sección Architecture comprehensive con diagrama de data flow.

La arquitectura está bien documentada. Sin embargo, línea 337-340 describe validaciones pero línea 341 dice "Genesis block is NOT mined (to speed up creation)" - verifica que esta exceción esté implementada correctamente en código (no es visible en archivos proporcionados pero está documentada aquí).


427-437: Limitaciones de seguridad honestamente documentadas.

La sección de "Known Limitations" es excelente para establecer expectativas. Pero línea 432 dice "Simple in-memory rate limiting" - verifica que esto sea exacto. Si se usa Redis backing en production, actualiza la doc.

CLAUDE.md (5)

107-132: Sección de Core Data Models detallada y educativa.

La descripción del modelo Blockchain (líneas 111-120) y Block (líneas 122-131) es clara y completa. Los detalles sobre genesis block no minado y validaciones de chain integrity son correctos. Sin embargo, línea 125 dice "field :_hash" - verifica que esta convención de naming (underscore) sea consistente en código.


133-166: API Endpoints bien documentados con rate limiting y validación.

La descripción de los 4 endpoints es comprensiva e incluye rate limits, parámetros, y respuestas. Sin embargo, línea 165 dice "GET / - Returns "Hello to ChainForge!" (HTML, not JSON)" - verifica que este endpoint raíz NO esté incluido en rate limiting (es especial), o actualization documentation.


187-194: Configuración de base de datos clara pero verifica precisión de defaults.

Las variables de entorno MongoDB están bien documentadas. Línea 190-194 lista DEFAULT_DIFFICULTY - verifica que el default actual en código sea 2 (como se especifica), no otro valor.


238-300: Guías de desarrollo comprehensivas con 10 puntos clave.

Los guidelines (10 puntos) cubren educational value, testing, code quality, simplicity, documentation, no production shortcuts, API versioning, environment config, security, y CI/CD. Esto es excelente. Sin embargo, línea 290 menciona "All user inputs must be validated" - verifica que tu contrato de validación cubra ALL campos posibles.


444-484: Objetivos educacionales y diferencias con blockchains de producción claros.

Las secciones "Educational Objectives" (líneas 444-456) y "Differences from Production Blockchains" (líneas 458-485) son excelentes. Establecen contexto importante para developers. Verifica que la comparación con Bitcoin en línea 466-467 sea factualmente correcta (e.g., "Fixed difficulty" vs Bitcoin's dynamic adjustment es correcto).

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**MongoDB Connection Errors**
- Ensure MongoDB is running: `docker-compose up -d mongodb`
- Check `.env` has correct MONGO_DB_HOST, PORT, NAME
- For Docker: use `host: mongodb` not `localhost`

**Rate Limiting in Tests**
- Ensure `.env.test` has `ENVIRONMENT=test`
- Check `main.rb` has: `use Rack::Attack unless ENV['ENVIRONMENT'] == 'test'`
- Rate limiting should be disabled in test environment

**RuboCop Failures**
- Run `bundle exec rubocop -a` to auto-fix
- Check `.rubocop.yml` for project-specific rules
- Don't disable cops without good reason
- Add `# rubocop:disable CopName` comment only when necessary

**Mining Takes Too Long**
- Use lower difficulty in development (1-3)
- Set `DEFAULT_DIFFICULTY=2` in `.env`
- Avoid difficulty >5 in tests
- Consider mocking `mine_block` in tests (with caution)

Sección de troubleshooting útil pero necesita restructuring de formato.

El contenido es excelente (MongoDB connection, rate limiting en tests, RuboCop failures, mining lento, SimpleCov). Sin embargo, los títulos usan **bold** en lugar de encabezados markdown:

- Cambiar: **MongoDB Connection Errors** 
- Cambiar a: ### MongoDB Connection Errors

Esto mejorará la legibilidad y generará TOC automático.

In CLAUDE.md around lines 377 to 401, the troubleshooting section uses bold text
for section titles instead of proper Markdown headers; replace each bolded title
(e.g., **MongoDB Connection Errors**, **Rate Limiting in Tests**, **RuboCop
Failures**, **Mining Takes Too Long**, etc.) with appropriate header syntax
(e.g., "### MongoDB Connection Errors") and ensure consistent heading levels,
update any nested subitems to use subordinate headers where needed, and verify
the file renders correctly and generates a TOC automatically.

### 1. Server Preparation

```bash
# Update system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Install dependencies
sudo apt install -y build-essential git curl libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev

# Install rbenv
curl -fsSL https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv-installer/raw/main/bin/rbenv-installer | bash

# Add to ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

# Install Ruby 3.2.2
rbenv install 3.2.2
rbenv global 3.2.2
```

### 2. MongoDB Installation

```bash
# Import MongoDB GPG key
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -

# Add MongoDB repository

Pasos de preparación de servidor detallados y correctos.

Los comandos para actualizar sistema, instalar dependencies, e instalar rbenv son correctos. Sin embargo, línea 44 usa sintaxis wget -qO - ... | sudo apt-key add - que es deprecada en Ubuntu 22.04+. Considera actualizar a curl y gpg --dearmor:

- curl -fsSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-archive-keyring.gpg
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In DEPLOYMENT.md lines 18 to 56, the MongoDB GPG key import uses the deprecated
apt-key pipeline; replace it by downloading the key and writing a dearmored
keyring file (e.g., /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-archive-keyring.gpg) using curl
(or wget) piped to gpg --dearmor with sudo to create the file, then update the
MongoDB apt source entry to reference that keyring with the signed-by option and
correct distribution (focal) so apt no longer relies on apt-key; ensure file
permissions and sudo are used when writing the keyring and the apt source line
uses the absolute keyring path.

Script de backup MongoDB well-thought-out con retention policy.

El script usa mongodump con auth correct, establece retention de 7 días. Línea 345 contiene password en plaintext - aunque es en script, considera usar credenciales desde .env o mongodump .mongorc.js:

- mongodump --host localhost --port 27017 --db chain_forge --out $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$DATE

Requerir autenticación en runtime usando stdin o archivo de credenciales.

## Proof of Work (PoW)

ChainForge implements a simplified Proof of Work consensus mechanism similar to Bitcoin's mining process.

### How Mining Works

1. **Target Calculation**: Based on difficulty level (1-10), the system determines how many leading zeros the hash must have:
- Difficulty 1: Hash must start with `0`
- Difficulty 2: Hash must start with `00`
- Difficulty 3: Hash must start with `000`
- And so on...

2. **Mining Process**:
```
Start with nonce = 0
Loop:
Calculate: hash = SHA256(index + timestamp + data + previous_hash + nonce)
If hash starts with required zeros:
Mining complete! ✓
Else:
nonce++
Try again
```

3. **Mining Example**:
```
Block: index=1, data="Hello World", difficulty=3
Target: Hash must start with "000"

Attempt 1: nonce=0 -> hash=a1b2c3d4... ✗ (invalid)
Attempt 2: nonce=1 -> hash=9f8e7d6c... ✗ (invalid)
Attempt 3: nonce=2 -> hash=3d4c5b6a... ✗ (invalid)
...
Attempt 1542: nonce=1542 -> hash=000a1b2c... ✓ (valid!)
```

### Performance Impact

| Difficulty | Average Time | Leading Zeros |
|-----------|-------------|---------------|
| 1-2 | < 1 second | 0 or 00 |
| 3-4 | Few seconds | 000 or 0000 |
| 5-6 | Minutes | 00000 or 000000 |
| 7+ | Hours+ | 0000000+ |

**Recommendation**: Use difficulty 2-4 for development and testing.

Sección PoW excelente con pseudocode educativo y tabla de performance.

La sección es muy educativa con:

  • Explicación clara de target calculation (línea 258-262)
  • Pseudocode detallado (línea 265-273)
  • Ejemplo de mining iterativo (línea 276-286)
  • Tabla de performance (línea 290-295)

Sin embargo, línea 322 refiere a "~19 leading zeros (as of 2023)" - el documento se creó en Nov 2025, actualiza a "as of 2025" o remueve timestamp para evitar obsolescence.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
README.md around lines 252-297 (and update the related reference at ~line 322):
the PoW section references "~19 leading zeros (as of 2023)" which is outdated
given the document creation date; update the timestamp to "as of 2025" or remove
the timestamp entirely to avoid future obsolescence, and ensure any other date
mentions in the PoW section are consistent; make the change in-place and run a
quick grep for other dated claims to keep them consistent.

repository's security contact can be found (e.g., "see repository SECURITY.md
contact"), and ensure the text is concise and uses a single, accurate contact
method for reporting vulnerabilities.
