* Proposal of canonical ledger state format This proposal defines the Simple Canonical Ledger State (SCLS), a stable, versioned, and verifiable file format for representing the Cardano ledger state. It specifies a segmented binary container with deterministic CBOR encodings, per-chunk commitments, and a manifest that enables identical snapshots across implementations, supports external tools (e.g., Mithril), and future-proofs distribution and verification of state. > Co-Authored-By: Nicholas Clarke <nicholas.clarke@moduscreate.com> > Co-Authored-By: João Santos Reis <joao.reis@moduscreate.com> * Update CIP-015x/README.md: fix Discussion topic Co-authored-by: Ryan <ryan.williams@intersectmbo.org> * Update CIP-015x/README.md: fix link style Co-authored-by: Ryan <ryan.williams@intersectmbo.org> * Update CIP-015x/README.md Co-authored-by: Robert Phair <rphair@cosd.com> * CLS: Improve README formatting and link references update references format * CLS: Add CBOR vs JSON section * CLS: Fix more links * CLS: Fix more links * CLS: Fix even more links * CIP: CLS fix terminology block -> record * Update CIP-015x/README.md Co-authored-by: Nicholas Clarke <nick@topos.org.uk> * Update CIP-015x/README.md Co-authored-by: Nicholas Clarke <nick@topos.org.uk> * Update definition and typography * Do not try to be clever with links * Fix more links * Fix another broken link * CIP: CLS — upadte META Record structure Use cbor data in metadata value. It will allow other software store structured introspectable metadata in file. * Update file structure.

Add number of entries and chunks per-namespace Add a comment about the spec * Clarify tombstone and value deletion (rickymac68#2) * Clarify tombstone and value deletion During an implementation it because obvous that it's easier to keep tombstones an explicit value in delta blocks. In this MR we remove obsolete tombstone/v0 namespaces and update spec * Explicitly require keys for entries * Add clarification about tombstone entries * CIP-0165: specification of the binary file (cardano-foundation#5) * CIP-0165: specification of the binary file Provide a binary file specification in Kaitai Struct format as well as html description of the format and svg diagram Co-authored-by: João Santos Reis <joaosreis@outlook.pt> * Fix format * Update keys (cardano-foundation#6) * Explicitly describe the length of the record payload * Drop len_data field, we already know it because we can calculat that from datastructure size * Introduce structure for the entries and a fixed size keys This commit introduces a fixed size keys the size of the key depends on the namespace that is used. This approach allows us not to waste time on the encoding of the size for each key and allows to have nice and fast keys for each namespace used. * remove tombstone namespace from the list of the namespaces * Update CIP to explicitly tell how we deal with trees * Update CIP-0165/README.md Co-authored-by: João Santos Reis <joaosreis@outlook.pt> * Update CIP-0165/README.md Co-authored-by: João Santos Reis <joaosreis@outlook.pt> * Fixes in spec --------- Co-authored-by: João Santos Reis <joaosreis@outlook.pt> * Add metadata record to spec * Update doc * Use sizeof<metadata_footer> instead of hardcoded values * Update .ksy with key length * Add namespaces definitions (cardano-foundation#10) * Add namespaces * Update namespaces definitions * Updates * Update CIP-0165/README.md Co-authored-by: Nicholas Clarke <nick@topos.org.uk> * Address review comments --------- Co-authored-by: Nicholas Clarke <nick@topos.org.uk> * Update format ksy sizeof is not supported by ksy * Apply suggestions from code review Co-authored-by: Thomas Vellekoop <107037423+perturbing@users.noreply.github.com> * Apply suggestions from code review Co-authored-by: Thomas Vellekoop <107037423+perturbing@users.noreply.github.com> * Update CDDL specifications * Fix typo in README.md: change "deletage" to "delegate" * Fix typo in format.ksy: change "ISO8061" to "ISO8601" * Update terminology from "block" to "record" in format.ksy * Update DELTA block information * Remove null terminator from magic string in README.md * Fix typos and improve clarity in README.md * Update heading from "Directory Record" to "DIR Record" for consistency * Rename 'namespaces_bytes' to 'name' for clarity in format.ksy * Clarify design approach for streaming * Clarify mithril scenario * Fix typo * Add note about chunk format and compression * Update and clarify namespace information in README.md * Fix headings for consistency in README.md * Clarify description of 'chunk_format' in README.md to specify it indicates the compression scheme * Place namespaces section on namespaces earlier in the document * Update headings for consistency in README.md * Clarify doc for 'offset' in manifest record * Clarify data types for `root_hash` and `digest` * Clarify entry digest computation and verification section * Fix typo in DataEntry description * Move slot_no to the manifest (cardano-foundation#11) * Move slot_no to the manifest * Removed slot_no from the delta record * Add explicit key size definition for namespace in format.ksy * Revert human readable names to tags * Update representation utxo * Remove pots/v0 namespace as it's can be derived from the other parts of the state * Change footer entries_count type from u64 to u32 Updated footer entry count type from u64 to u32 for consistency. * Remove network_id enum from format.ksy Removed network_id enum definitions from format.ksy. * Clarify namespace ordering and Merkle tree ambiguities - CHUNK records are ordered by namespace, bytewise/UTF-8 - Merkle nodes use the `0x00` domain separator - Merkle trees are unbalanced, with a "promote depth" behaviour on trailing nodes - Global Merkle root is computed from the per-namespace Merkle roots - Empty Merkle tree is H("") --------- Co-authored-by: Ryan <ryan.williams@intersectmbo.org> Co-authored-by: Robert Phair <rphair@cosd.com> Co-authored-by: Nicholas Clarke <nick@topos.org.uk> Co-authored-by: Adam Dean <63186174+Crypto2099@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Alexey Kuleshevich <lehins@yandex.ru> Co-authored-by: João Santos Reis <joaosreis@outlook.pt> Co-authored-by: João Santos Reis <joao.reis@tweag.io> Co-authored-by: Thomas Vellekoop <107037423+perturbing@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Christopher Harrison <christopher.harrison@tweag.io>
