Walkthrough

The event service initializes its processed height from Status, processes blocks announced by headers, and checks status when headers remain stale. It catches up through intervening heights and stops at a height when block-results retrieval or event publication fails. Tests cover startup, catch-up, quiet subscriptions, and event filtering.

Changes

Event processing service

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Service startup and height initialization go/util/events/publish.go, go/util/events/publish_test.go	NewEvents reads the initial chain height before subscribing, then starts lifecycle watching and the run loop. Tests add a synchronized fake client and verify that events at the initial height are not replayed.
Header and stale-height catch-up go/util/events/publish.go, go/util/events/publish_test.go	The run loop catches up after header events and checks Status after headers remain stale. Catch-up processes each intervening height in order and stops on block-results or publish errors. Tests cover header processing, height jumps, quiet subscriptions, and event filtering.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d5068

A long outage or slow event consumer can leave events unpublished or exhaust service memory, while a large catch-up can delay shutdown. Resolve or explicitly accept these risks before merging.

Blocks arrive in steady sequence.

Missed events find their way back.

- Around line 136-141: Update the run method so shutdown requests are received
independently of e.poll: start a goroutine that handles e.lc.ShutdownRequest(),
calls e.lc.ShutdownInitiated(err), and cancels ctx, exiting that goroutine if
ctx is already done. Have the main loop return on ctx.Done() and keep polling on
ticker events so shutdown interrupts catch-up at the next block boundary.
- Around line 157-175: Update poll’s catch-up flow to use
Status.SyncInfo.EarliestBlockHeight and skip any range below the node’s retained
base, logging the skipped heights so event loss is visible. Also bound retries
for a height that remains unavailable despite being at or above that base; after
the limit, warn and advance so polling can resume.

In `@go/util/events/publish.go`:
- Line 111: Bound each subscriber’s `evbuf` in `pubsub.NewBus` with an explicit
overflow policy, such as dropping events or disconnecting the slow subscriber;
keep `Publish` asynchronous and ensure overflow for one subscriber never blocks
others. Do not rely on limiting the blocks processed by `NewEvents.poll` per
tick, since that does not bound a persistently slow subscriber’s backlog.
