Extend the Filtering section in README with examples for address, pool, and DRep filters, including bech32 formats, CIP-0129 DRep ID handling, and combined filter AND/OR logic.

Closes #715


Summary by cubic

Adds README examples for address, pool, and DRep filtering and a complete reference for input.governance events. Standardizes docs to double-dash long flags and updates --help to cover comma-separated values and the new --filter-drep/--filter-pool, addressing #715.

  • Verify --help and examples: double-dash flags only (single-dash rejected), comma-separated lists, and new filters are documented.
  • Confirm filter applicability: --filter-address/--filter-pool/--filter-drep apply to input.governance; pool also to input.block and input.transaction; --filter-asset/--filter-policy do not affect governance; OR within a filter’s values, AND across filters.
  • Validate ID formats: pool IDs accept bech32 (pool1…) or hex; DRep IDs follow CIP‑0129 (drep1…/drep_script1… bech32 or raw 28-byte hex).
  • Check input.governance docs: emit conditions; context fields; payload arrays and optional transactionCbor via --input-chainsync-include-cbor; and how filters match within governance events (DRep, pool, address).

Written for commit b77fd3a. Summary will update on new commits.

Verified against the code at b77fd3a2. The double-dash conversion is a real fix: single-dash long flags fail with unknown shorthand flag: 'f' in -filter-type, so the previous examples could not have worked.

Three blockers in the new material, each confirmed by running the code rather than by reading it. Details inline.

Also non-blocking:

  • Three real event types are missing from the filter table. event/event.go:27-29 defines input.drep-registration, input.drep-update, and input.drep-retirement; chainsync emits them per DRep certificate in addition to input.governance (input/chainsync/chainsync.go:548-560) and --filter-drep gates them (filter/cardano/cardano.go:89-90,164-179). A reader filtering on input.governance alone drops them silently.
  • Format errors fail silently. filter/cardano/option.go skips unparseable values with continue, so --filter-drep not-a-valid-drep starts normally and emits nothing. Only --filter-drep is lowercased (filter/cardano/plugin.go:118); pool, policy, asset, and address are compared verbatim against lowercase hex (event/block.go:65), so an uppercase pool ID never matches.
  • The ## Governance events section (~120 lines) restates docs/governance.md, which is already linked at README:187. Two sources of truth that will drift.

No removed-content regressions: all 32 removals are dash conversions plus a stale Go-flag-style help block, and the new help excerpt matches actual --help output.

The open thread at README.md:184 is already addressed at this head: 56 fence lines, balanced, and the governance JSON block closes at line 185. The force-push orphaned the SHA it was left on.

adder has no markdown lint, link checker, or docs-parity target, and CI runs none, so review is the only gate on this class.

Comment thread README.md
Each commandline argument (other than `--config`) has a corresponding environment
variable. For example, the `--input` option has the `INPUT` environment variable,
the `--input-chainsync-address` option has the `INPUT_CHAINSYNC_ADDRESS`
environment variable, and `--output` has `OUTPUT`.

Applying this rule to the six filter flags this PR tabulates gives FILTER_ADDRESS, FILTER_POOL, and FILTER_DREP. Those are silently ignored.

ProcessEnvVars builds the prefix from plugin type and plugin name (plugin/register.go:69-83), then uppercases and replaces - with _ (plugin/option.go:90-100). CustomFlag shortens only the flag name (plugin/option.go:44-53), so the flag and the variable diverge:

Flag Environment variable
--filter-address FILTER_CARDANO_ADDRESS
--filter-pool FILTER_CARDANO_POOL
--filter-drep FILTER_CARDANO_DREP
--filter-asset FILTER_CARDANO_ASSET
--filter-policy FILTER_CARDANO_POLICY
--filter-type FILTER_EVENT_TYPE

Confirmed at runtime: FILTER_ADDRESS leaves address=""; FILTER_CARDANO_ADDRESS sets it.

Config keys diverge the same way: plugins.filter.cardano.{address,pool,drep,asset,policy} and plugins.filter.event.type. Neither the general rule nor the new table gives a reader a way to reach the right name.

Not true when --filter-pool and --filter-drep are combined. filter/cardano/cardano.go:190-205 ORs them deliberately:

// Pool and DRep IDs identify independent actors. When both are configured,
// pass governance events involving either followed identity.
if c.filterSet.hasPoolFilter && c.filterSet.hasDRepFilter {
	if !c.matchPoolFilterGovernance(ge) && !c.matchDRepFilterGovernance(ge) {
		return false
	}
}

The same pairing appears for transactions at cardano.go:145-159.

Confirmed: with both set, a governance event matching only the DRep is emitted. Control with --filter-address plus --filter-drep on the same event is not emitted, so AND does hold for other combinations.

This PR is the first to document both flags together, which makes this sentence load-bearing. A related asymmetry worth stating: with both configured, input.block is still gated by pool alone (cardano.go:98-120).

Three problems here, and the example above contradicts the note.

  1. 0x32 is not a CIP-129 header. Script-hash DRep is 0x23 — nibbles 0b0010 (DRep) and 0b0011 (script hash).
  2. Under CIP-129 both key and script DRep IDs use the drep HRP with a header byte. drep_script1... is the CIP-105 form and carries no header byte, so pairing it with any header value is wrong.
  3. Adder does not validate these bytes. filter/cardano/option.go:174-178 strips byte 0 whenever the decode is 29 bytes, whatever it contains:
if len(decoded) == 29 {
	decoded = decoded[1:]
} else if len(decoded) != 28 {
	continue
}

0x22, 0x23, and a fictitious 0x32 all reduce to the same stored hash.

The drep1... example above decodes (bech32) to hrp drep and 28 bytes, with no header byte — a CIP-105 identifier, not the CIP-129 form described here.

The hex guidance in the next bullet is correct and matches option.go:186-193. An accurate note would say Adder emits CIP-105-style IDs (event/governance.go:597,601) and accepts the CIP-129 form leniently.

The two values in this example are the same account. common.NewAddress(addr1qyht4ja0...).StakeAddress().String() returns exactly the stake1u9f9v0z5... listed beside it.

Both are well-formed mainnet addresses so the command runs, but it does not demonstrate matching any of several distinct addresses. A second unrelated account would.

- **`--filter-pool`** — matches voting procedures cast by the pool as an SPO,
and vote-delegation certificates referencing the pool's key hash.
- **`--filter-address`** — matches a proposal's `rewardAccount`, treasury
withdrawal destination addresses, and vote-delegation stake credentials.

--filter-address covers less than this for governance events. filter/cardano/match_address.go:69 checks rewardAccount only against stake addresses, and vote-delegation credentials only against stakeCredentialHashes (:89-99), which filter/cardano/option.go:45-53 populates solely from stake-prefixed values.

An addr1... value therefore matches treasury-withdrawal destinations only (match_address.go:77-83).
