Fixes #128.

Problem

try_clear_bankruptcy_hlock_if_healthy released the market-wide bankruptcy_hlock_active flag on five group-header counters alone. Its doc comment claimed the clear-condition "mirrors group_has_position_or_loss_state_for_oracle_reset" and that the release was "strictly safe" because the hlock "cannot be cleared while ANY outstanding loss/stale/position state remains". It inspected no per-asset state, so neither claim held.

Booking a bankruptcy residual is precisely the operation that moves loss off an account — dropping negative_pnl_account_count — and onto an asset, into fields the predicate could not see. Every booking site calls the helper immediately afterwards. settle_resolved_bankruptcy_negative_pnl is the clearest path: it opens a close ledger (raising pending_domain_loss_barrier), books the residual, credits the account back toward zero PnL, then calls the helper — with no hlock re-arm, unlike the live-liquidation path.

The flag is consumed as a "market carries unabsorbed loss" signal: h_lock_lane lifts the haircut lane to HMax while it is set, and in the wrapper live_domain_withdraw_health_or_shutdown_view rejects backing and insurance withdrawals. That wrapper gate's only per-asset check additionally requires the asset to be stale, so a freshly-cranked asset carrying unabsorbed loss is not caught independently — on that path the hlock is the effective guard.

Fix

Adds group_has_unabsorbed_bankruptcy_loss, a per-asset predicate consulted by the clear-condition. A field qualifies only if it (a) represents loss not yet absorbed by anyone and (b) provably returns to zero under normal operation:

Field Why it qualifies
pending_domain_loss_barrier_{long,short} An open bankruptcy-close ledger with residual. Raised in begin_close_progress_ledger, decremented when residual_remaining reaches zero and on cure/cancel.
explicit_unallocated_loss_{long,short} The designated unallocatable-loss sink. Currently never written by production code; included so the sink is covered if it is ever wired up.
mode_{long,short} != Normal DrainOnly / ResetPending — structural impairment mid-resolution, cleared by finalize_side_reset. Also covers the social-loss quarantine window, since the same begin_full_drain_reset_inner that quarantines dust sets mode = ResetPending.

What is deliberately excluded, and why

The obvious fix — reuse group_has_position_or_loss_state_for_oracle_reset, the predicate the comment already named — is not correct here, and this is the main thing worth reviewing.

That predicate answers "is this market completely at rest?", which an oracle re-anchor genuinely requires because it rewrites the mark every open position is valued against. The hlock asks the narrower question "is any bankruptcy loss still unabsorbed?". Two groups of fields make the difference load-bearing:

  • Position presenceoi_eff_*, stored_pos_count_*, loss_weight_sum_*. validate_shape requires these to co-move, so a single open position anywhere makes the predicate true. Note pnl_pos_tot (already in the clear-condition) is only booked positive PnL and is routinely zero with positions open, so this is a categorical change, not an incremental one.
  • Monotone social-loss bookkeepingb_{long,short}_num accumulates and is zeroed only by a full side drain-reset; b_epoch_start_*_num is written once in begin_full_drain_reset_inner (= b_*_num) and never zeroed anywhere, and the only escape (asset retire/restart) is itself gated on that field being zero.

Requiring either group would make the clear-condition unsatisfiable after the first socialized bankruptcy — permanently trapping LP/insurance backing withdrawals and pinning the market to the HMax lane. That is the exact pre-FIX-1 defect, so a naive tightening trades a correctness bug for a worse liveness bug.

social_loss_remainder_* / social_loss_dust_* are also excluded: they are sub-atom rounding carry and its quarantine sink, which persist across side resets. The mode_* != Normal term already covers the window in which they are created.

Implementation notes

  • group_has_position_or_loss_state_for_oracle_reset is left untouched, so the oracle re-anchor path sees no behavioural or evaluation-order change.
  • The new predicate reads raw POD fields and returns bool rather than V16Result<bool>. It therefore adds no new error path to the settlement and liquidation call sites that invoke try_clear with ?, so a malformed byte in one asset slot cannot revert a liquidation on an unrelated asset. It also avoids the full 40-field AssetStateV16Account::try_to_runtime() decode per slot.
  • The scan is O(configured assets), but it runs only when the hlock is set; the !hlock_active early-return keeps the common path free. Because the flag can still clear once the loss is absorbed, the early-return resumes short-circuiting — this is the property the rejected alternative loses. If an O(1) check is preferred on the hot settlement paths, the follow-up would be a header counter maintained inside set_pending_domain_loss_barrier_count, mirroring the existing resolved_payout_blocker_count pattern; that needs a header layout change, so it is not bundled here.
  • The stale doc comment is rewritten. Its "mirrors ... strictly safe" claim is what invited this bug, so the new comment states plainly that the two predicates are deliberately different and why.

Tests

Three tests in mod bankruptcy_hlock_clear_predicate_tests:

  • hlock_held_while_asset_close_ledger_has_residual — the reported defect. Opens a close ledger via begin_close_progress_ledger, asserts all five header counters read zero, and requires the hlock to stay engaged. Fails on main.
  • hlock_held_while_asset_side_not_normal — a side left in ResetPending holds the hlock. Fails on main.
  • hlock_clears_with_open_position_and_no_unabsorbed_loss — the liveness guard. A market with an ordinary open position and no loss fields set must still release the hlock. This is the assertion the over-strict alternative fails, and the suite previously had no coverage for it, which is how a permanently-bricking predicate could otherwise ship green.

Verification on this branch:

cargo test --lib bankruptcy_hlock_clear_predicate   3 passed
cargo test                                          164 passed, 0 failed
cargo test --features audit-scan --lib              54 passed, 0 failed

The dependent wrapper (percolator-prog main @ 19d5d93) also still compiles and links against this branch.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

  1. asset_local_has_position_or_loss_state_view in the wrapper is a hand-copy of the engine predicate that has drifted — it omits pending_domain_loss_barrier_{long,short}, which the engine checks. That weakens the wrapper's oracle-reconfiguration and shutdown gates.
  2. Defense-in-depth at the consumption site: live_domain_withdraw_health_or_shutdown_view could check the requested domain's own pending_domain_loss_barrier directly, rather than relying on a market-wide header flag for per-domain state.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Bankruptcy status now clears correctly when only ordinary open positions or absorbed-loss records remain.
    • Bankruptcy remains active when unresolved close barriers, unallocated losses, or impaired account modes are present.
    • Improved handling of residual close records and side-mode states.

`try_clear_bankruptcy_hlock_if_healthy` cleared the market-wide
`bankruptcy_hlock_active` flag on five group-header counters alone, while
its doc comment claimed to mirror `group_has_position_or_loss_state_for_
oracle_reset` and be "strictly safe". It inspected no per-asset state, so
it released the hlock while an unabsorbed bankruptcy residual was still in
flight (an open close-progress ledger with `pending_domain_loss_barrier`,
or a side left in a non-Normal mode). The hlock gates LP/insurance backing
withdrawals in the wrapper and lifts the haircut lane to HMax, so an early
release erodes a withdrawal gate on a market still carrying loss.

Add `group_has_unabsorbed_bankruptcy_loss`, a per-asset predicate over the
fields that (a) represent not-yet-absorbed loss and (b) provably return to
zero: `pending_domain_loss_barrier_*`, `explicit_unallocated_loss_*`, and
`mode_* != Normal`. It deliberately excludes the position-presence fields
and the monotone social-loss index (`b_*`, `b_epoch_start_*`) that the
oracle-reset predicate checks — requiring those would make the hlock
permanently unclearable after the first socialized bankruptcy, reinstating
the pre-FIX-1 trap. Reads are raw POD, so no new error/revert surface is
added to the settlement/liquidation paths.

Regression tests cover the two held cases and, critically, a liveness case
asserting the hlock still clears on a market with an ordinary open position.

Walkthrough

Bankruptcy hlock clearing now scans configured asset slots for unabsorbed bankruptcy state. It blocks clearing for pending barriers, explicit unallocated losses, and non-normal modes. Regression tests cover blocked residual states and benign open positions.

Tests verify that residual close ledgers and non-normal asset modes keep the hlock active, while ordinary open positions allow clearing.

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

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 43b83

The bankruptcy-loss protection can still be cleared when a resolved fallback leaves loss unallocated but does not persist it in the fields used by the new gate. That could release withdrawal and haircut protections while loss remains outstanding, so the PR is not merge-ready until this path is fixed and covered by a regression test.

Persist explicit bankruptcy loss before clearing the hlock.

Line 13786 checks explicit_unallocated_loss_*, but the Resolved fallback in book_bankruptcy_residual_chunk_internal returns explicit_loss without updating that field. advance_close_progress_ledger can then finalize the ledger and remove its barrier. A later clear can release the hlock while the explicit loss remains unallocated.

Write the returned loss to the opposite-side explicit_unallocated_loss_* field before returning the explicit-loss outcome. Add a regression that exercises this Resolved fallback and verifies that the hlock remains active.
