I thought I'd address these, but TBH, because there probably are higher priority problems, it might actually make sense to leave these for now...

Hi @Anviking

Thanks for making this PR!

I don't fully understand it yet, but I've left some comments and small requests.

Hopefully we can have a call to help clear up any misunderstandings that I have.

Thanks!

👍 I do like the "somehow" however, to signal that this is unexpected -> f347a64

Good point! Perhaps it's good to include the "somehow" after all. I agree it's nice to signal that this is unexpected.

I think this usage of the term "balance" might be confusing for people.

There is a pre-existing convention that "balance" refers to the sum of something. For example:

  • The "available UTxO balance": the sum of all values in the wallet's UTxO set.
  • The "input balance": the sum of all values provided by inputs in a transaction.
  • The "output balance": the sum of all values consumed by outputs in a transaction.

I think this usage of "balance" as the "sum" of something is quite intuitive.

Though in "evaluateTransactionBalance", "balance" seems to refer to a delta between input value provided to the transaction and output value consumed by the transaction. In other words, it's a delta between two sums: Σ input value − Σ output value.

Could we consider the term "delta" instead? This usage already has a precedent: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-wallet/blob/bfacc71ada6b926ee608e5e537e7040d37842eaf/lib/core/src/Cardano/Wallet/CoinSelection/Internal/Balance.hs#L510

Alternatively, if you're really keen on using the term "balance" here, then perhaps we should add some more comments to define what sort of "balance" it is. What do you think?

As a further suggestion: if we adopt the term "balance", then perhaps we could add a comment similar to:

The balance of a transaction is defined as:
(value consumed by the transaction) − (value produced by the transaction)

This way, we avoid having to mention the fee, since the fee is part of the value that's "consumed" by the transaction.

I'm in favour of balance as a term because it seems well-used in the node and ledger — including the ledger's evaluateTransactionBalance we make use of.

Delta seems to be a concept specific to coin-selection, and differs from balance in that it is not affected by the fee.

Question: why three commas here? 😄

I know, it looks strange! The idea was to have well-defined CSV columns for the sake of gnuplot. However, leaving empty values didn't seem to work... Maybe I should use a single comma unless we come up with a proper checked-in gnuplot script.

-> ece4adc, not sure what you think.

On a related note: having a concise ToText for balanceTx/coin-selection errors would be very neat!

Perhaps rendering these as JSON makes more sense? Since these errors sometimes have to contain structured information.

Hi @Anviking

I've added a few comments to add links to tickets on JIRA for the various TODO comments. If you could add the links, and link those JIRA tickets to the appropriate epic, then I think it would be fine to merge!

I've also added a few other comments and suggestions. Hopefully these should be make sense, but let me know if not.

Thanks again!

Jonathan

Squashed:

Tweak arguments of evaluateTransactionBalance

Allow passing in the UTxO in two parts:
1. `W.UTxO`
2. `[(TxIn, TxOut, Maybe (Hash "Datum"))]`

which are internally combined.

This could have been avoided if either:
1. `W.UTxO` could support datum hashes
2. A `UTxO -> Cardano.UTxO` conversion were available in core.

Maybe this will only be needed from the tests, but keeping for now...

3100: Re-write balanceTransaction using Node.evaluateTransactionBalance r=jonathanknowles a=Anviking

- [x] Rewrite balanceTransaction using `evaluateTransactionBalance`
     - Effects on goldens can be viewed in the diff of this PR
- [x] Enable `prop_balanceTransactionBalanced`
- [x] Polish
- [x] Even more polish
    - [ ] Will look through from top to bottom before merging

### Future work
- [x] Pay surplus as excess fee when we cannot afford a change-output. (Would like to do while comparing constructTx with balanceTx)
- [x] Ensure tx size limit is respected (Requires fixing ADP-1484 _and_ [this](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-wallet/blob/ae8a2206b6f659b879d3bf14fd4ffdad7e781992/lib/core/src/Cardano/Wallet.hs#L1788-L1818) )
