Closes #2852.

crates/subgraph/schema/raindex.graphql is the graph-node API schema, and
cynic_codegen in crates/subgraph/build.rs registers it as truth for the
generated client. Nothing in this repo produced it and nothing checked it, so a
wrong hand-edit compiled fine and only surfaced against a live endpoint at
runtime.

It cannot be regenerated offline the way copy-artifacts regenerates the ABIs
— reproducing it means running graph-node's own schema derivation. So this runs
graph-node.

The job

schema-snapshot, a second job in Subgraph unit tests:

  • anvil from .#sol-shell on the runner host, reached by graph-node over the
    docker host gateway. graph-node will not accept a deployment naming a chain
    it has no adapter for.
  • postgres + ipfs + graph-node from subgraph/docker-compose.graph-node.yml, a
    SEPARATE compose file: rainix's subgraph-test runs docker compose up --abort-on-container-exit over subgraph/docker-compose.yml, so these
    services must not land in it.
  • subgraph/check-api-schema.sh runs npm ci, graph build, graph create,
    graph deploy in subgraph/ as committed.
  • subgraph/print-api-schema.js introspects the deployed endpoint and prints
    the SDL through lexicographicSortSchema, so the snapshot does not encode
    graph-node's internal type ordering. It retries: graph-node answers
    Subgraph ... has not started syncing yet for the first second or two after
    a deploy.
  • diff -u against the committed snapshot, with the derived schema uploaded as
    an artifact so a mismatch is fixed by copying the artifact over the file.

The job asserts git diff --exit-code -- subgraph/ after, so build residue in
the source tree fails the job rather than being committed by accident.

What it found immediately

The committed snapshot was wrong. It is replaced here, verbatim from the job's
own artifact — 4534 lines to 3681.

Ignoring formatting, the difference is exactly four records — two interface
lists and two field names:

  • type Clear implements TradeEvent and type TakeOrder implements TradeEvent
    where subgraph/schema.graphql declares both as implements Event & TradeEvent. The snapshot dropped Event from the interface list on both.
  • raindexs on Query and on Subscription, where graph-node pluralises
    Raindex to raindices. Nothing in the repo queried that field, so it
    compiled.

The rest of the churn is canonical form, not content: the 281 descriptions in
the file are identical as text between the two, and the old file kept
graph-node's natural argument order where lexicographicSortSchema sorts
arguments, hard-wrapped descriptions that printSchema emits on one line, and
spread argument lists over multiple lines that printSchema prints inline.

Adapted from rainlanguage/rain.metadata#298, for rainlanguage/rainix#365

#298 is the reference. What had to change here, and why — this is the seam the
reusable workflow has to be able to straddle:

  1. No temp tree and no throwaway networks.json. 2024 02 16 app open larger size #298 copies subgraph/
    plus the ABIs its manifest names into a temp dir and synthesises a
    networks.json there, because rain.metadata's manifest is a template
    carrying no address/startBlock and graph build --network writes that
    network's values back into the manifest it builds. raindex's
    subgraph/subgraph.yaml already carries network, address and
    startBlock, so nothing here passes --network, nothing rewrites the
    manifest, and the build runs in place. --network is the whole reason for
    the temp tree
    — it is not part of the intersection, it is conditional on a
    network being selected at build time. A reusable workflow has to take that
    as an input rather than always doing it.
  2. graph-node's chain is named after the manifest, not the reverse. 2024 02 16 app open larger size #298
    names the chain anvil and rewrites the manifest onto that network. Here
    the compose file declares ethereum: sepolia:http://host.docker.internal:8545
    — the name graph-node is told is the one the committed manifest already
    declares — and anvil runs with --chain-id 11155111 so that name is not a
    lie. The chain name is a per-repo input derived from the manifest.
  3. No forge soldeer install and no forge build. 2024 02 16 app open larger size #298 needs both because
    rain.metadata's manifest points at ABIs forge emits. raindex commits
    subgraph/abis/*.jsondeploy-subgraph.yaml says so in as many words —
    so those two steps drop out entirely. An optional pre-build step, not a
    fixed one.
  4. No graph codegen. 2024 02 16 app open larger size #298 runs it. raindex commits
    subgraph/generated/, and subgraph-deploy builds straight off it; running
    codegen here would rewrite a committed directory and put the
    git diff --exit-code -- subgraph/ assertion at risk of firing for a reason
    that has nothing to do with the schema.
  5. Two shells, not one. 2024 02 16 app open larger size #298 runs everything under rain.metadata's default
    nix develop. raindex's default shell carries the rust and wasm toolchains,
    so the job splits: .#sol-shell for anvil/cast only, .#subgraph-shell
    (node + graph-cli, no rust, no foundry) for deploy and introspection. Both
    are the flake's re-exports, so they come from flake.lock's rainix rev
    rather than live main, per the comment on those outputs.
  6. The CI preamble is rainix's composite, not hand-rolled. 2024 02 16 app open larger size #298 had to
    hand-add cachix/cachix-action to its lane, because rain.metadata's
    subgraph lane is a hand-rolled workflow that predates the shared preamble.
    raindex's lane already calls rainix-subgraph-test.yaml, so this job uses
    rainlanguage/rainix/.github/actions/nix-cachix-setup@main and gets
    checkout, nix, cachix and the store cache from it. 2024 02 16 app open larger size #298's "Also here" cachix
    fix has no analogue here — which is the clearest signal that the preamble is
    already correctly upstream and the reusable workflow should call the
    composite the same way.
  7. Every name is a parameter. Snapshot path, derived-file name, artifact
    name and subgraph name all differ (crates/subgraph/schema/raindex.graphql,
    raindex.graphql.generated, raindex-api-schema, rain/raindex).

Carried over unchanged, and therefore the actual intersection: the separate
compose file (raindex has the same subgraph/docker-compose.yml collision
hazard with --abort-on-container-exit); the graphql 15.5.0 direct pin —
raindex's lock has the identical shape, graph-cli pinning 15.5.0 against
@float-capital/float-subgraph-uncrashable wanting ^16.6.0, with npm's
hoist tie-break today landing on 15.5.0 and nothing holding it there;
print-api-schema.js byte for byte, including AbortSignal.timeout and the
retry loop; lexicographicSortSchema + printSchema; the diff -u; the
artifact upload; and the graph-node:v0.35.1 / postgres:14 / kubo:v0.17.0
pins.

One limitation worth stating: the assertion is only ever "matches what
graph-node v0.35.1 derives". That pin is the oracle. If the deployment
target's graph-node moves, the pin has to move with it, and the snapshot churns
when it does.

QA

  • Discriminating tests: the schema-snapshot job itself — it is the test. It
    fails on base: at 4a57948, with main's hand-maintained snapshot in the tree
    and this job already wired up, run
    33038854396
    went red at Deploy the subgraph and diff the committed API schema, diffing
    the committed file against what graph-node v0.35.1 derived. With the snapshot
    corrected it is green, all nine steps including the residue assertion: run
    33039458785,
    2m52s.
  • Mutations applied: crates/subgraph/schema/raindex.graphql:24
    sender: Bytes!sender: String! in type AddOrder, pushed as commit
    bda92d4 on branch 2026-08-27-issue-2852-mutation (left in place as the
    audit trail; it is not for merge) → killed by schema-snapshot, run
    33039507532,
    red at the diff step reporting exactly - sender: String! /
    + sender: Bytes! and nothing else. The deploy and introspection steps
    before it passed — and the deployment hashed to the same
    QmYTBj2rmrYBP1qjD7Q4nSarJJCnS4UaFYKKrviXkJpWto as the green run, because
    only the snapshot moved — so the red is the assertion firing and not the
    harness falling over.
  • The retry loop is load-bearing, not defensive decoration: every run so far
    logs attempt 1/30: ... has not started syncing yet and succeeds on attempt
    2.
  • Oracle: graph-node itself. The expected schema is introspected out of a
    graph-node that was handed subgraph/schema.graphql; it is not derived from
    the committed file, nor from anything else in this repo. The four
    disagreements it forced on the committed snapshot are the oracle disagreeing
    with the artifact on first contact.
  • Category check: the issue asks for (a) a CI job that deploys the subgraph to
    a throwaway graph-node, introspects it and fails on a difference, (b) the two
    findings from 2024 02 16 app open larger size #298 carried over rather than rediscovered, (c) a check on
    whether the temp-tree/networks.json step applies here, (d) proof of red on
    a mutated snapshot. Covered: (a) the schema-snapshot job, (b) the graphql
    15.5.0 direct pin and the per-attempt AbortSignal.timeout, both carried
    verbatim, (c) it does not apply — see item 1 above, (d) run 33039507532.

Explanation

The changes provide the throwaway graph-node environment, schema deployment and introspection, deterministic GraphQL formatting, timeout-based retries, schema artifact upload, and snapshot comparison. The provided summaries do not verify the required repository-specific adaptation record or the demonstration that the check fails against a mutated snapshot. The excluded subgraph/package-lock.json also prevents verification of lockfile consistency for the pinned dependency.

Resolution

Provide reviewable evidence that the repository-specific adaptations were recorded and that the CI check was demonstrated to fail with a mutated snapshot. Inspect subgraph/package-lock.json, which was excluded by the path filters, to confirm it records the direct graphql@15.5.0 dependency consistently.

Run the required artifact regeneration before the drift check.

Add the rainix-copy-artifacts step sequence in nix develop github:rainlanguage/rainix#sol-shell before this assertion. Then check all generated artifacts, not only subgraph/, for uncommitted drift.

As per coding guidelines: “Regenerate artifacts — run the rainix-copy-artifacts step sequence ... Stage ALL changed artifacts or copy-artifacts drifts red.”

Wait for the IPFS API before graph-node deployment.

service_started does not confirm that IPFS accepts requests on port 5001. subgraph/check-api-schema.sh, Line 19, deploys through that API without a retry. Add an IPFS health check and require service_healthy so docker compose ... up --wait blocks until deployment can use IPFS.

Verbatim from the schema-snapshot artifact of run 33038854396.

Substantively the committed file claimed `Clear` and `TakeOrder` implement
only `TradeEvent` where schema.graphql declares `Event & TradeEvent`, and
claimed `raindexs` on Query and Subscription where graph-node pluralises
`Raindex` to `raindices`. The rest of the churn is canonical form: the
snapshot kept graph-node's natural argument order, and printSchema renders
argument lists and descriptions differently.
