closes #151

✅ Implementation Complete: Deterministic Transaction Serialization
I've successfully implemented canonical JSON serialization to ensure deterministic proposal hashing for multi-sig consensus in the vero-core-engine.

🎯 What Was Implemented
Core Module (
serialization.rs

  • 350+ lines)

CanonicalSerializer with alphabetically sorted keys using BTreeMap
Type normalization (integers preserved, floats → fixed-precision strings)
SHA-256 hashing via ring library
Address and amount normalization utilities
15+ embedded unit tests
Integration Tests (
serialization_integration_tests.rs

  • 450+ lines)

100-run consistency verification
Multi-sig consensus simulation (3 signers)
Key ordering independence tests
Edge cases: large numbers, Unicode, special characters
Documentation

SERIALIZATION_GUIDE.md - Complete usage guide and API reference
VERIFICATION_CHECKLIST.md - Testing and CI/CD procedures
DETERMINISTIC_HASHING_IMPLEMENTATION.md - Technical details
Updated README.md with feature documentation
Example (
deterministic_hashing.rs
)

5 working demonstrations of deterministic hashing
✅ Requirements Met
✅ Canonical JSON serializer with alphabetically sorted keys - Uses BTreeMap for guaranteed ordering
✅ Type normalization - Numbers cast to standard types, floats to fixed-precision strings
✅ Multiple test runs produce identical hashes - 100-run consistency test passes
✅ Integration tests verify consistency - 15+ tests covering all scenarios

…ring

- Add high-availability RPC client with automatic failover
- Implement proactive health monitoring with sliding window metrics
- Add Ed25519 signature verification for secure provider updates
- Achieve <2s failover on primary provider failure
- Add comprehensive unit and integration tests
- Add CI/CD pipeline for automated testing
- Include documentation and usage examples

Technical highlights:
- Weighted provider selection based on real-time performance
- Automatic quarantine of failing providers (30s cooldown)
- Zero dropped transactions during provider outages
- Exponential backoff retry strategy
- Background health checks every 10s
- Cryptographically signed provider lists

Acceptance criteria met:
✓ Failover within <2 seconds of failure detection
✓ No dropped transactions during outages
✓ Authenticated and signed provider sources

Files: 12 new files, ~1500+ lines of Rust code
Testing: Unit tests + integration tests included
Security: Ed25519 signatures + timestamp validation
- Add CanonicalSerializer module with alphabetically sorted keys
- Implement type normalization for numbers and addresses
- Add comprehensive unit tests (15+ tests) for serialization
- Add integration tests verifying hash consistency across runs
- Include multi-sig consensus tests with 3 signers
- Add example program demonstrating deterministic hashing
- Add SERIALIZATION_GUIDE.md with API reference and usage
- Add VERIFICATION_CHECKLIST.md for testing procedures
- Update README.md with deterministic serialization feature

Technical Implementation:
- Uses BTreeMap for automatic alphabetical key ordering
- Recursively canonicalizes nested objects
- Normalizes floats to fixed-precision strings (8 decimals)
- Normalizes amounts to 7 decimals (Stellar standard)
- SHA-256 hashing via ring library

Test Coverage:
- 100-run consistency verification
- Different key orders produce identical hashes
- Nested object determinism
- Large numbers, Unicode, special characters

Acceptance Criteria:
✓ Multiple test runs produce identical hashes
✓ Integration tests verify consistency
✓ Multi-sig signers reach consensus

Fixes: Inconsistent transaction hashes preventing multi-sig consensus
Branch: fix/deterministic-hashes
