# Final Release Summary – 2024-10-05

## Execution Overview
- **Scripted checks:** `./scripts/run_profit_simulation.sh`
- **Unit tests:** `GOCACHE=$(pwd)/.gocache go test ./...`
- **Integration tests:** `GOCACHE=$(pwd)/.gocache go test -tags=integration ./...`
- **Container build:** `docker build -t mev-bot:local .`

## Test & Build Results
| Check | Status | Notes |
|-------|--------|-------|
| Unit test suite | ✅ Passed | All packages compiled and unit tests succeeded with cached Go 1.25 toolchain. |
| Integration tests (`-tags=integration`) | ❌ Failed | Multiple suites require live RPC/endpoints and outdated helpers. Key blockers: missing `bindings/arbitrage` import path, deprecated config fields in `test/arbitrage_fork_test.go`, reliance on real Arbitrum RPC (DNS failures in sandbox), parser validations expecting fields not supplied by fixtures. |
| Docker build | ⚠️ Blocked | `docker build` denied (`open /run/user/1000/libpod/tmp/alive.lck: permission denied`) inside sandbox runtime. Requires elevated container privileges on build host. |
| Profitability simulation | ✅ Passed | Default vector run succeeded; net profit 0.087300 ETH, profit factor 6.37. Reports in `reports/simulation/latest/`. |

## Secrets & Keystore Readiness
- Added smoke-test environment at `env/smoke.env` with compliant `MEV_BOT_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, keystore/audit/backup paths, and metrics defaults. Production `.env` templates now set `MEV_BOT_KEYSTORE_PATH`/audit/backup defaults so `scripts/run.sh` scaffolds required directories.
- Created placeholder directories `keystore/smoke`, `backups/smoke`, `logs/` to satisfy key manager validation. Application will auto-generate a trading key on first start using this profile.
- **Action:** Swap RPC placeholders in `env/smoke.env` before hitting live infrastructure and load actual production secrets via preferred manager (Vault/SSM/etc.).

## Monitoring & Alerting
- Published Prometheus alert rules in `monitoring/alerts.yml`:
  - `MEVBotHighErrorRate` – fires if `mev_bot_trade_error_rate > 0.25` for 10m.
  - `MEVBotDegradedProfitFactor` – fires if `mev_bot_profit_factor < 1` for 15m.
- Updated metrics collector to expose `mev_bot_profit_factor` in JSON and Prometheus endpoints.
- Deployment guide (`docs/6_operations/DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md`) now references `env/smoke.env` and documents alert wiring.

## Observations & Follow-ups
- Integration harness needs refactor to match current API signatures (`arbitrage.NewArbitrageService`, config structs, parser fixtures).
- Network-bound tests require controllable RPC stubs or local fixtures to run in CI (legacy suites now gated behind the `legacy`/`forked` build tags).
- Container build requires host permissions or buildkit alternatives; publish Drone/Harness artifacts for verification when permissions are available.
- Secrets management decision outstanding (Vault vs. SSM vs. local `.env`).

## Artifacts
- Profitability reports: `reports/simulation/latest/report.json` and `report.md`.
- Smoke environment template: `env/smoke.env`.
- Alert rules: `monitoring/alerts.yml`.
