Research direction

Start by locating the aggregator state machine and the existing /register-signature route, then trace how blocked and idle states are represented. Define the requested registration gate, status method, and enum, and verify that the route returns 503 only while the gate is closed and remains unchanged otherwise.

Description

optimization :hammer_and_wrench:

Why

The aggregator is not properly handling the reception of single signatures when it is not ready to sign (in particular when it is blocked). In that case, a long error message is logged which prevents their readability and exploitation during debugging.

What

Enhanced handling of incoming signatures when the aggregator is not ready.

How

  • Add a new service SingleSignatureRegistrationGate in the aggregator
  • Add a new get_status(&self)->SingleSignatureRegistrationStatus method and a SingleSignatureRegistrationStatus enum
  • The gate is closed when the state machine is in the Blocked state
  • The gate is opened during the Idle state
  • The /register-signature route returns a 503 error if the gate is closed, and is not modified otherwise
