USpeaks API Layer

Independent API-layer workspace nested inside the contracts repository.

Overview

• packages/client: TypeChain-first client, provider routing, policy metadata, and generated wrappers.
• packages/api: versioned HTTP API, domain modules, workflow routes, auth, rate limits, and contract execution context.
• packages/indexer: Base event ingestion, Supabase/Postgres projection pipeline, and reorg handling.
• db: Supabase/Postgres migrations, RLS policies, and GraphQL-first schema artifacts.
• scenario-adapter: API-mode shims plus a copied local snapshot of the full contracts deployment-scenario suite.
• ops: Local orchestration and health tooling.

Changelog & Documentation Mandate

ALL work MUST be documented in CHANGELOG.md. No exceptions.

We are committed to a "Building in Public" approach. This means every minor and major milestone, architectural change, or feature addition throughout the project's life must be recorded. Documentation is not just for devs; it's the history of the repo's evolution.

Quick Start

pnpm install
pnpm run sync:scenarios
pnpm run codegen
pnpm run build

Environment

The API runtime reads the repo .env directly. The deployed proof path is bound to the values already verified there:

• DIAMOND_ADDRESS
• RPC_URL
• ALCHEMY_RPC_URL
• ALCHEMY_API_KEY
• CHAIN_ID
• NETWORK
• PRIVATE_KEY
• ORACLE_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY
• API_LAYER_KEYS_JSON
• API_LAYER_SIGNER_MAP_JSON

For Base Sepolia proof runs, use the repo .env instead of hand-pointing the test harness:

pnpm run baseline:show
pnpm run setup:base-sepolia
pnpm run test:contract:base-sepolia

Those commands read the repo .env, verify the configured chain id from the live RPC, and fail loudly if the repo config is incomplete.

Base Sepolia Semantics

Licensing is split into two lifecycles:

• Template lifecycle: createTemplate -> updateTemplate/setTemplateStatus -> createLicenseFromTemplate This derives voice-specific terms and does not create a caller-scoped active license.
• Active license lifecycle: issueLicense or createLicense This creates the caller-scoped license that powers get-license-terms, record-licensed-usage, and transfer-license.

Caller-scoped licensing reads and actions must use the licensee actor, not a generic read/admin actor.

Governance workflows are also split by live chain timing:

• POST /v1/workflows/submit-proposal
• POST /v1/workflows/vote-on-proposal

The API no longer treats proposal submission and voting as a single happy-path workflow because the live Base Sepolia governance baseline enforces a non-zero voting delay.

pnpm run setup:base-sepolia writes a best-effort fixture report to .runtime/base-sepolia-operator-fixtures.json. That setup pack uses the repo .env signers to inspect and prepare:

• buyer funding and USDC allowance
• licensee/transferee actors
• aged marketplace listing fixtures
• proposer role and voting-power state

It reports which fixtures are actually ready, which are partial, and which still require upstream contract state or additional testnet funding.

Commercialization Ownership Rule

Business rule: a voice asset can only be commercialized by the current on-chain owner of that asset.

Not sufficient on their own:

• collaborator role
• marketplace seller role
• per-voice authorization
• template access
• approval-style setup without ownership

Commercialization includes:

• dataset packaging using the asset
• listing the resulting dataset/asset for sale
• collaborator-driven commercialization wrappers

UI precondition copy:

• Only the current asset owner can commercialize this asset.
• This account is authorized, but not the owner.
• Transfer ownership first if this collaborator should commercialize.

Validation guidance:

• Fail early in the workflow/UI when the acting user is not the owner.
• Suggested error shape: "commercialization requires current asset ownership; actor is authorized but not owner; transfer asset ownership before commercialization".

Scenario Adapter

scenario:api no longer falls back to local Anvil happy paths. You must supply an explicit scenario command:

API_LAYER_SCENARIO_COMMAND="node scenario-adapter/trace_access_bootstrap_invariants.js" pnpm run scenario:api

To bind that command to the validated Base Sepolia deployment baseline:

API_LAYER_SCENARIO_COMMAND="node scenario-adapter/trace_access_bootstrap_invariants.js" pnpm run scenario:api:base-sepolia

If a scenario uses multiple contract-signing actors, map signer addresses to API keys with API_LAYER_SIGNER_API_KEYS_JSON so API-mode calls preserve caller identity instead of collapsing to one global key.
