# VeriNode-Backend

[![CI](https://github.com/VeriNode-Labs/VeriNode-Backend/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/VeriNode-Labs/VeriNode-Backend/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Node.js Express API server for the VeriNode Decentralized Savings Circle (ROSCA) protocol, managing circle lifecycles, collateral tracking, and leniency/governance workflows.

## ⚡ CI Workflow Optimization & Parallel Matrix
The GitHub Actions CI workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) is optimized with layered caching, path-filtered execution, and parallel test sharding:
* **Dependency Caching:** Uses `actions/cache@v4` with lockfile-derived keys (`node-modules-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('package-lock.json') }}`) to eliminate redundant `npm ci` overhead.
* **Per-Branch Build Caching:** Persists TypeScript build output (`dist/`) per-branch to accelerate incremental checks.
* **Parallel Test Shards:** Splits test execution across 4 parallel runners (`TEST_SHARDS=4`) using duration-weighted test scheduling (`scripts/shard-tests.cjs`).
* **Path-Filtered Change Detection:** Uses `dorny/paths-filter@v3` to skip heavy backend/test jobs on documentation-only changes (`**/*.md`).
* **Workflow Guardrails:** Strict job-level timeouts (5–15 minutes) and a cumulative 30-minute runtime envelope prevent runaway tasks.
* **Performance Benchmark:** Workflow execution time reduced from **25+ minutes to under 8 minutes** (~68% execution speedup).

## 🚀 Key Features
* **Circle Lifecycle Management:** REST API endpoints to create, join, deposit, and process payout rounds for savings circles.
* **Collateral & Slashing Integrations:** Monitors collateral vault deposits, slashing events, and release state transitions.
