2025-11-14 (Evening)

17:11 PST Window - Nonce Burn Cascade

  • Time: 17:11:06 PST
  • Reference: POST_MORTEM_2025-11-14_1714_PST_1711_FAILURE.md
  • Log: logs/bot-2025-11-14_16-47-28-577_PST.log
  • Outcome: ❌ Nonce cascade - 25 nonces burned (164→189) in 97 seconds
  • Root Causes: Nonce tracking slower than chain advancement, "nonce too low" death spiral
  • Impact: Led to implementing nonce cascade protection (max +5 delta, 200ms pause)

20:11 PST Window - RPC Rejections

  • Time: 20:10:28 - 20:11:54 PST
  • Reference: POST_MORTEM_2025-11-14_2015_PST.md
  • Outcome: ❌ Transactions rejected - Bot fired 3 TXs, all rejected by RPCs
  • Root Causes: "Already known" error, "replacement underpriced", late firing (46s late)

22:40-23:02 PST - Pre-Execution Analysis & Remediation Attempt

23:11 PST Window - Complete Blindness Failure

  • Time: 23:11:11 PST
  • Reference: POST_MORTEM_2025-11-14_2311_COMPLETE_FAILURE.md
  • Outcome: ❌ Catastrophic failure - Bot completely blind, zero transaction attempts
  • Root Cause: Single RPC client architecture
    • PublicNode RPC hit 429 rate limit at 23:10:49 PST (11s before window)
    • ALL view function calls failed
    • Window opened 23:11:00-23:11:11, never detected
    • WebSocket working but view functions couldn't execute

23:30-00:30 PST - Critical Architecture Fixes (Post-Failure)

  • NEW: Multi-RPC fallback pool (src/rpc/pool.ts)
  • FIX: WindowDetector RPC resilience (src/detection/window.ts)
  • FIX: Nonce cascade protection (src/main-rbf.ts)
  • FIX: HTTP polling auto-disable (reduces RPC load 50%)
  • Documentation updates: ARCHITECTURE.md, CODE_STRUCTURE.md, EXECUTION_FLOW.md, CONCEPTS.md
