Split from #120 — @PlasticDigits requested a dedicated ticket after QA verification hit silently stale pair contracts on a reused LocalTerra volume.

Problem

make start-qa rebuilds optimized wasm and runs deploy-local, but if the localterra-data Docker volume persists, the chain may still serve older deployed contract code at the same addresses. Fresh artifacts on disk do not guarantee fresh on-chain behaviour.

Observed during #120 sign-off (HEAD 94adb5f):

  • Wasm on disk matched current tree; live queries failed with unknown variant for new entrypoints (is_paused, expired_limit_refund) until volumes were manually wiped and QA redeployed.
  • Earlier live walks on the same server may have exercised pre-b03152d contracts without obvious failure modes — a verification hazard for any contract-side QA.

Root cause: volume reuse + redeploy does not reset chain state; no automated check that deployed code matches the repo build under test.

Proposed scope

  1. Detection — after deploy-local in start-qa (or via a small health script), verify deployed pair (and optionally factory) exposes expected schema:
    • e.g. query is_paused and/or expired_limit_refund on the deployed pair address from deploy-dex-local output / env.
    • Compare a deploy stamp (git short SHA or build id written at deploy time) against HEAD when volumes are reused.
  2. Fail loud — if mismatch detected, exit non-zero with actionable copy pointing to fresh-volumes toggle (sister ticket).
  3. Docs — scripts/qa/README.md troubleshooting: symptoms (unknown variant, missing query variants), fix (fresh volumes), when reuse is safe.

Acceptance

  • Automated post-deploy check in QA path (or standalone make qa-verify-deploy) that catches stale schema / missing variants
  • Actionable error message referencing fresh-volumes reset
  • Documented in QA README
  • Parent investigation: #120
  • Sister issue: fresh-volumes toggle for make start-qa / make reset-qa

Implementation complete (merged to main @ 3226630)

Added automated post-deploy verification for stale on-chain contracts when LocalTerra volumes are reused (#203).

What changed

  • make qa-verify-deploy — standalone check; also runs inside make start-qa after deploy-local
  • scripts/qa/verify-deploy.sh — LCD probes on deployed pair: is_paused, expired_limit_refund; compares .qa-deploy-stamp git_sha to HEAD
  • scripts/deploy-dex-local.sh — writes .qa-deploy-stamp (Phase 6.3) with factory/pair addresses + git SHA
  • scripts/lib/lcd-smart-query.sh — shared LCD smart-query helpers
  • CI — E2E job runs make qa-verify-deploy after deploy
  • Docs — scripts/qa/README.md troubleshooting, docs/qa-invariants.md invariant Q1, cross-links in docs/local-development.md
  • Agent skill — skills/AGENTS_QA_DEPLOY_VERIFY.md; linked from AGENTS_QA_FRESH_VOLUMES.md (#202) and AGENTS_E2E_STRICT_CHAIN.md

On failure: non-zero exit with actionable copy pointing to make reset-qa / QA_FRESH_VOLUMES=1 make start-qa.

Verification checklist

  • On QA host with existing volumes: make start-qa completes and prints [qa-verify-deploy] OK
  • After git pull without redeploy: make qa-verify-deploy fails on stamp mismatch (git_sha ≠ HEAD)
  • After stamp mismatch: make deploy-local && make qa-verify-deploy passes
  • Confirm .qa-deploy-stamp written after deploy (gitignored; contains git_sha, pair_address)
  • Simulate stale schema (optional): point verify at a CW20 address — should fail with unknown variant guidance
  • CI E2E job includes Verify deployed contracts (GitLab #203) step after deploy
  • Laptop QA: re-scp frontend-dapp/.env.local after server deploy before live walks

@brouie — please verify on the QA server when convenient. Leaving this issue open until sign-off.

Verification run (agent, worktree verify/glab-203 → merged main @ 305386d)

Verified GitLab #203 against live LocalTerra/LCD/indexer on this host without restarting infra (per operator constraint). Found one UX bug in production code; fixed and pushed.

What was verified locally

Check Result
make qa-verify-deploy schema probes (is_paused, expired_limit_refund) on deployed pair PASS
Stamp mismatch (git_sha ≠ HEAD) fails non-zero PASS — now suggests make deploy-local && make qa-verify-deploy (not volume wipe) when schema probes pass
Matching stamp + schema PASS — prints [qa-verify-deploy] OK
Stale schema simulation (CW20 address as pair) PASS — fails with volume-reset guidance
.qa-deploy-stamp present after prior deploy (git_sha, factory, pair) PASS
make start-qa hook calls verify after deploy PASS (code review)
CI Verify deployed contracts (GitLab #203) step PASS (.github/workflows/test.yml)
make test-qa-verify-deploy unit checks PASS (new)

Fix merged on this pass

  • Split fail_stale_contract vs fail_stamp_mismatch in scripts/qa/verify-deploy.sh so stamp-only drift no longer misdirects operators to wipe volumes.
  • Added make test-qa-verify-deploy + scripts/qa/test-verify-deploy.sh.
  • Updated skills/AGENTS_QA_DEPLOY_VERIFY.md and scripts/qa/README.md.

Issue body acceptance

  • Automated post-deploy check in QA path / make qa-verify-deploy
  • Actionable error messages (volume reset for stale schema; deploy-local for stamp drift)
  • Documented in QA README + agent skill + docs/qa-invariants.md Q1

Remaining checklist (needs QA server / no-infra-restart constraint)

  • Full make start-qa end-to-end on shared QA host (existing volumes)
  • make deploy-local && make qa-verify-deploy after stamp mismatch on QA host
  • Laptop re-scp frontend-dapp/.env.local after server deploy

@brouie — please run the three items above on the QA server. Leaving open until that sign-off; all local/agent verification criteria pass.

Operator checklist (copy for QA sign-off)

  • make start-qa completes; log shows [qa-verify-deploy] OK
  • git pull without redeploy → make qa-verify-deploy fails with stamp message (deploy-local fix, not volume wipe if schema OK)
  • make deploy-local && make qa-verify-deploy passes after pull
  • Optional: point verify at CW20 → unknown variant + reset-qa guidance
  • Re-scp frontend-dapp/.env.local to laptops after deploy

Verification run (agent, 2026-05-30)

Note: GitLab issue #2021 does not exist in this project (max IID #235). Verification was performed against #203 (QA deploy verification), which matches the existing verify/glab-203 worktree pattern and the fresh 305386d fix on main. Worktree: verify/glab-2021 @ cc86088.

LocalTerra + indexer left running; no infra restart.

What was verified

Check Result
make test-qa-verify-deploy PASS — LCD helper unit checks
make qa-verify-deploy with stamp b2f68c9 vs HEAD=305386d PASS — schema probes OK (is_paused, expired_limit_refund); fails with stamp mismatch path recommending make deploy-local (not volume wipe)
Split failure modes in verify-deploy.sh PASS — fail_stamp_mismatch vs fail_stale_contract
CI reference job includes step PASS — .github/workflows/test.yml runs make qa-verify-deploy after deploy
Docs / cross-links PASS — updated docs/qa-invariants.md Q1 failure-mode table; skills/AGENTS_QA_DEPLOY_VERIFY.md links test-verify-deploy.sh

Doc commit on main

cc86088 — documents invariant Q1 stamp vs stale-contract failure modes and agent skill cross-links.

Checklist for @brouie

  • make start-qa on QA server with reused volumes → [qa-verify-deploy] OK at end
  • After git pull without redeploy → qa-verify-deploy fails with stamp mismatch copy (redeploy, not reset)
  • After make deploy-local && make qa-verify-deploy → OK with stamp matching HEAD
  • Optional: simulate stale schema (unknown variant) → failure copy points to make reset-qa
  • Re-scp frontend-dapp/.env.local to laptops after server deploy
