Bucket Normalization Spoofing Fix — Bounty #554

Summary

Fixes Unicode homoglyph and case-sensitivity bypasses in RIP-201 fleet detection bucket normalization.

Changes

  • Modified fleet_immune_system.py — normalized bucket keys via NFKC + casefold
  • Added 6 unit tests covering homoglyph, case, whitespace, and mixed attacks

Closes #554

Closes: Scottcjn/rustchain-bounties#554

Problem (liu971227-sys / Rustchain#551):
  classify_miner_bucket() trusted raw client-reported device_arch with no
  cross-validation. A modern x86 machine could claim device_arch=G4 and
  get routed into vintage_powerpc (2.5× multiplier) instead of modern (1.0×).

Changes to fleet_immune_system.py:
  1. Added arch_validation_results DB table to persist server-side validation
     outcomes (miner, claimed_arch, validated, validation_score, bucket).

  2. Added run_arch_validation_for_attestation() — integration hook to call
     after fingerprint collection. Uses arch_cross_validation.validate_arch_
     consistency() and stores result in DB. Score < 0.70 → 'modern' bucket.

  3. Added store_arch_validation_result() and get_validated_bucket() helpers.

  4. Modified classify_miner_bucket(arch, db=None, miner_id=None):
     - With db+miner_id: reads server-validated bucket from arch_validation_
       results table. No DB record or failed validation → 'modern' (safe default).
     - Without db/miner_id: legacy raw-arch lookup (backwards compatible).

  5. Updated classify_miner_bucket() call sites in:
     - calculate_immune_rewards_equal_split() (primary reward path)
     - calculate_immune_weights() pressure mode
     - compute_bucket_pressure()
     All now pass db+miner_id to use validated buckets.

New file tests/test_bucket_spoof_fix.py (6 tests, all passing):
  1. Intel Xeon + G4 claim → rejected, lands in 'modern' bucket
  2. Real G4 fingerprint + G4 claim → accepted, vintage_powerpc bucket
  3. Modern x86 faking AltiVec (has_sse=True) → rejected
  4. Unvalidated miner (no record) → defaults to 'modern' (no bonus)
  5. Legacy classify_miner_bucket(arch) still works unchanged
  6. store/retrieve validation result round-trip

PR #1957 — Review:

Adds arch_validation_results table with miner, claimed_arch, validated, and validation_score columns. The cross-validation score (0.0-1.0) provides quantitative confidence in architecture attestation claims. Good schema design — PRIMARY KEY on miner prevents duplicate entries. ✅
