frequent liquidation timing for testing

[dckc]

What is the Problem Being Solved?

When testing, we (@arirubinstein , @turadg ...) don't want to wait a full hour for liquidation auctions.

For my local chain, I used this kludge:
#7132 (comment)

Description of the Design

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. fix: connect auctioneer governance to EC charter #7305
   automerge:rebase +1
2. feat: more usable bidding CLI: integrated sign/broadcast #7256
   automerge:rebase +1

#7256 includes agops ec ... support for changing StartFrequency, ClockStep, etc.

road not taken:

• config file support

Our production config (#7311 ) won't include these parameters because the vaults contract is deployed post-bootstrap (#3947)

Security Considerations

Scaling Considerations

Test Plan

progress: I manage to set the StartFrequency to 300sec once on a local chain with these shell functions.

I'm having trouble reproducing it, though. Sigh.

I'm using a merge of a few branches...

EC CLI UX

With 52cce88 (WIP), govTools.sh is much simpler:

acceptGovInvitations () {
    agops ec charter --send-from gov1
    agops ec committee --send-from gov1
    agops ec committee --send-from gov2 --voter 1
}

Accepting invitations is idempotent: if it's already done, it bails and tells you.

Voting automatically looks up the continuing invitation id:

    agops ec vote --forPosition 0 --send-from gov1
    agops ec vote --forPosition 0 --send-from gov2

For other commands that still need --charterAcceptOfferId, I added an agops ec find-continuing-ids command:

    gov1propose=$(agops ec find-continuing-ids --from gov1 |
        jq -r 'select(.instanceName =="econCommitteeCharter") | .offerId ')

    agops auctioneer proposeParamChange \
        --charterAcceptOfferId ${gov1propose} \
        --start-frequency "$freq" >|"$offer"

Set auction start frequency with 1 shell function

Seems reliable now, on this WIP dc-auction-ec-ux branch.

$ setStartFreq 300
Now use `agoric wallet send ...` to sign and broadcast the offer.
