Warning

Review limit reached

@WantClue, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 4 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR hardens Stratum JSON parsing and transport ownership, adds synchronized share submission and work access, replaces fatal thermal I2C failures with fallbacks, and corrects self-test voltage and hashrate handling.

Changes

Stratum transport lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transport state and APIs
main/global_state.h, main/system.c, main/tasks/stratum_task.h
Global and pool state now include transport locks, descriptors, and close-request flags. Task-safe close and share-submission APIs are declared and initialized.
Transport ownership and connection setup
main/tasks/stratum_task.c
Workers publish and claim transports. Other tasks request socket shutdown. Connection setup publishes transports only after successful initialization and serializes handshakes.
Submission and worker shutdown
main/tasks/stratum_task.c, main/tasks/asic_result_task.c
Share submission locks the selected transport during writes. Shutdown paths request worker-owned teardown and distinguish missing transports from write failures.
Work and ping synchronization
main/tasks/stratum_task.c, main/tasks/create_jobs_task.c
Extranonce data is synchronized for work generation and updates. Ping operations hold transport locks while using shared transports.

Stratum message validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validated Stratum parsing
components/stratum/stratum_api.c
Parsing rejects invalid JSON and malformed fields before access or allocation. Notification cleanup handles partial allocations and NULL input safely.

Thermal controller fault handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nonfatal thermal I2C operations
main/ThermalMonitoring/src/EMC2101.c, main/ThermalMonitoring/src/EMC2103.c
I2C failures are logged instead of aborting. Tachometer and temperature reads return safe fallback values.

Self-test measurement corrections

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reference and hashrate validation
main/self_test/self_test.c
Reference checks reject out-of-range readings. Hashrate measurement advances time consistently, handles empty results, and recalculates the final rate.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90+ minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5ebf7

The PR improves mutex and allocation handling but still accepts malformed work messages, can apply the wrong job-cleanup behavior, and may use an incorrect extranonce length; a close request can also be delayed until a receive timeout. These issues can affect work validity and connection responsiveness, so the change is not ready to merge until they are addressed.

A rabbit checks each socket tight,
And guards the nonce through day and night.
Bad JSON hops away,
Safe sensors guide the way,
While cooling fans and shares run right.

version_mask is inside the locked region, but the writer does not take that lock.

Lines 71-75 read extranonce_str, extranonce_2_len, and version_mask under stratum_work_lock. The extranonce fields need that lock, because stratum_task.c swaps and frees them under the same lock. GLOBAL_STATE->version_mask is different: stratum_task.c Line 1023 assigns it with no lock held. The read is therefore still unsynchronized. The value is a single aligned uint32_t, so the effect is a possibly stale mask for one job, not a memory error. Either take stratum_work_lock in the writer, or move the version_mask read out of the locked region and state that a stale mask is acceptable.

the n_merkle_branches validation loop and hex2bin call.
- Line 501: Update the parameter validation and assignment around

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate each merkle branch as a complete hash.

The current check accepts any JSON string. A short branch makes hex2bin return before it fills the HASH_SIZE buffer. Line 494 ignores that result, so new_work->merkle_branches contains incomplete data.

Require exactly HASH_SIZE * 2 hexadecimal characters before allocation and conversion. Reject the notification when a branch fails validation.
