Decision 2b of #324. Stacked conceptually on #342 (decision 1a) but independent in code — different crates, no shared symbols — so it targets main directly.

Fetching and verifying the Union costs ~40 MB of XML and an XAdES signature check per document. That is not work to redo per seal, and not work to redo on every restart: a cache in process memory means a node reports "nothing consulted" for the length of a whole refresh after every deployment, indistinguishable from a node whose refresh is broken. SealAuditStore makes the same argument for the audit's cursor in 0038, and it applies here unchanged.

The shape

One row per territory the list of trusted lists names, in exactly one of two states:

state carries
verified the parsed list, the digest of the certificate that signed it, when the check ran
unavailable why it could not be verified, in terms an operator can act on

A database CHECK enforces exactly one, because keeping them apart is the entire value of the table. And a third state falls out of the primary key: a territory absent was never named by the list of trusted lists; one recorded unavailable was named and could not be read. Those are different facts and a verdict needs both — #342 is the type that carries them.

Germany is why this is not decoration: its list does not verify against the mandated signature profile today (#320), so any node consulting the Union has an unavailable territory on day one.

The parsed form, never the documents

~40 MB of XML across the Union, 5.11 MiB for Germany alone, reducing to providers, services, histories and certificates. MAX_TRUSTED_LIST_BYTES is 8 MiB and bounds a hostile fetch — it is not a retention budget.

The round-trip test checks what a verdict reads rather than whole-value equality: UnverifiedTrustedList derives PartialEq, so comparing the two values would pass for a round trip that kept every field and broke the lookup that uses them. It counts CA certificates and asks was_granted_at, because certificates are what the issuer match runs against and the history is what "qualified at sealing" is read from. Confirmed by adding #[serde(skip)] to certificates and watching it fail 0 against 19.

🚨 from_store is the one constructor that trusts a record instead of bytes

Every other path into VerifiedTrustedList runs verify_trusted_list, so holding one is evidence the check ran on those bytes. This one is evidence it ran somewhere earlier and was written down. That is a real weakening of the type's invariant and it is taken deliberately — the alternative is canonicalising and checking an XAdES signature over a multi-megabyte document every time a seal is inspected, and a cache that re-does the work it caches is not a cache. The doc comment says exactly what it rests on.

put is per-territory, and that is load-bearing

A refresh failing for one Member State must leave every other row alone, and must leave that row's previous good copy in place rather than emptying it. Recording a territory as unavailable is a different decision from failing to refresh it, and only the caller can tell those apart — so the store never makes it.

What is deliberately not here

Nothing fills the cache. The refresh policy is decision 4 of #324 and the cold-start reporting is decision 3, both still open. This is the storage and the round trip, which are what those need to exist first.

It is also not a record of validations — Art. 33, reached for seals by Art. 40, makes a qualified validation service a QTSP service whose result carries the provider's own seal. Nothing stored here is signed and nothing is qualified; a row is this node's note that it read a published list.

Testing note

The four Postgres tests cover what a unit test structurally cannot: the CHECK, and that a territory moving between states leaves nothing of the other behind, in both directions. I cannot run them locally — Docker is unavailable on this machine, so just check compiles them and CI is the only place they execute. just check green, 1232 tests, and cargo clippy --features integration-tests clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added persistent trusted-list caching by territory, including verification details and parsed list content.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache contract and trusted-list restoration
crates/dpp-types/src/trust.rs, crates/dpp-seal/src/trustlist/*, CHANGELOG.md
CachedTrustedList distinguishes verified and unavailable entries. TrustedListStore defines asynchronous load and per-territory replacement operations. Trusted-list models support camelCase Serde conversion, and VerifiedTrustedList can expose and restore parsed content. Qualification results now record consulted and unchecked territory data.
PostgreSQL cache persistence
ops/pg/0039_trusted_list_cache.sql, crates/dpp-dal/src/pg/*, crates/dpp-dal/tests/pg_trusted_list_cache.rs, CHANGELOG.md
Migration 0039 adds the territory-keyed cache table with mutually exclusive verified and unavailable states. PgTrustedListRepo loads entries and performs conflict-safe upserts. Integration tests cover round trips, absent territories, state transitions, and per-territory updates.

Comment on lines +156 to +169
- **A qualification verdict now says how wide its absence claim is.**
`IssuerStanding::NotListed` gains `consulted` and `unchecked` counts, and
`SealQualification` gains `unchecked: Vec<UncheckedTerritory>` naming which
territories could not be consulted and why. `qualify` takes the skipped
territories alongside the lists.

`NotListed` is the only verdict that claims something is **not** there, so it
is the only one whose truth depends on what was available to look at. Its own
doc already admitted this — *"a statement about the lists that were passed in,
not about the Union"* — which is honest while a caller picks the lists by hand
and stops being honest the moment anything caches them. A cache silently
holding 26 of 27 lists turns "not listed" into a verdict against a perfectly
qualified provider, indistinguishable from a genuine miss.

Align the qualification release note with the shipped API. crates/dpp-seal/src/qualification.rs still defines IssuerStanding::NotListed { issuer }, SealQualification with only issuer and creation_device, and qualify(seal_der, lists, sealed_at) without skipped-territory metadata. The implemented cache change does not connect cached territories to qualification. Remove or rewrite the claims about consulted, unchecked, and the skipped-territories argument.

Pin historical service status in the round-trip test.

Utc::now() checks only the current status after restoration. Qualification uses historical status at sealed_at, so a restoration change that loses an earlier transition can pass this assertion. Compare was_granted_at at a fixture-covered fixed instant before and after restoration.

Remove the dpp-domain dependency from this contract.

TrustedListStore exposes DppError through both methods. This couples dpp-types to dpp-domain.

Define a store error in dpp-types, or use an associated error type. Convert that error to DppError at the service boundary.

As per path instructions: “dpp-types and dpp-common are standalone” and “Flag any edge outside that list.”

Three of the four findings were real and are fixed in 5015411. I checked each against the code rather than taking it as given, and one does not hold.

Fixed

The CHANGELOG documented an API this branch does not ship. Correct, and it was my error: 1a and 2b were originally one commit, and when I split them the conflict resolution kept 1a's entry on both branches. So this branch claimed consulted/unchecked while the code for them is in #342. Removed — and it would also have produced a duplicate entry once #342 merged and this rebased.

The Germany statement was date-sensitive in a permanent artifact. Reworded to "at the time of this release Germany was", which stays true when the status changes.

The round-trip test only asked about now. The better catch. My own comment said a flattened history "would answer today correctly and every past question wrongly" — and then the single assertion asked was_granted_at(Utc::now()), which is precisely the question a flattened history still gets right. It now asks two moments, and asserts they differ before comparing them, so a fixture whose services happened to be granted throughout cannot make this pass vacuously.

I could not run the obvious negative probe for it — #[serde(skip)] on history does not compile, because TrustServiceHistory has no Default. The assert_ne! is the guard instead, and it holds on the real Finnish list.

Not fixed, because the premise does not hold

Remove the dpp-domain dependency from this contract.

dpp-types already depends on dpp-domainCargo.toml line 17 — and DppError appears 104 times across the crate, including in the neighbouring SealAuditStore and SealOutbox traits that this one is modelled on. The use added here introduces no new edge.

Worth flagging what the finding did surface, though: CLAUDE.md's dependency graph says "dpp-types and dpp-common are standalone", and that has been untrue for a while. The documentation is stale, not the change — filing separately rather than fixing it in a PR about trusted lists.

just check green — 1232 tests.
