Using a personal repository ('dknopik/ssv-mini') and a non-specific branch reference ('fixes') in production CI creates dependency risks. Consider using a stable, official repository or fork it under the organization's namespace with a specific commit hash or tagged version.

ref: v1.2.3

yeah, at least we should use a specific commit hash here

Why are we using a personal branch?

updated to use the specific commit hash

Why are we using a personal branch?

currently, we had to make slight adjustments in order to get the config working. this is currently done in a slightly hacky way to get this MVP for our CI.

We will continue to improve on this initial state and eventually upstream all changes to ssv-mini

What about we move it to sigp?

Could you please briefly explain what is being tested in this PR for people not familiar with it (like me)?

dknopik · 2025-09-04T17:18:55Z

IMO this is good to go, but before merging I want to test intentionally breaking anchor it to see if the CI catches it 😈

will do soon

dknopik · 2025-09-10T15:17:47Z

@lmnzx

I broke block production, but the CI seems to pass anyway. Can you please take a look?

lmnzx · 2026-01-20T04:48:56Z

updated the workflow with a custom test,

id: test_anchor_proposal
name: "Check for Anchor Proposal"
timeout: 30m
tasks:
  - name: sleep
    config:
      duration: 5m # wait for the anchor nodes to startup
  - name: run_tasks_concurrent
    config:
      tasks:
        - name: check_consensus_block_proposals
          config:
            blockCount: 50
            graffitiPattern: "Anchor.*"
            minAttestationCount: 1
        - name: check_consensus_attestation_stats
          config:
            minTargetPercent: 100
            minHeadPercent: 100
            minTotalPercent: 100
            failOnCheckMiss: true
            minCheckedEpochs: 2
  - name: check_consensus_finality
    config:
      minFinalizedEpochs: 2
      failOnCheckMiss: true
schedule:
  startup: true

flow of the test:

wait for anchor nodes to startup
check if the anchor nodes propose 50 blocks
and concurrently make sure no attestation is missed
and then check the chain is finalized to at least 2 epochs ( with seconds_per_slot: 6 and the 5 min wait time and the 2 epoch test for check_consensus_attestation_stats, the chain will be at the 5th epoch)

This reverts commit d65851d.
