Add Subsidy Provider support (view, select, and inspect credit)

Summary

Adds first-class subsidy provider support to the CLI, wrapping the new on-chain subsidy machinery
(contracts #1052, Ocean Node
#1479 /
#1485) and the ocean.js wrappers
(#2158 /
#2160 /
#2163). A user can now:

  1. see which subsidy providers a node supports,
  2. choose which subsidy contracts to use when running compute or on-demand services, and
  3. inspect limits / remaining credit ("do I have credit available?") from a subsidy contract.

Subsidy providers are on-chain contracts that sponsor part or all of a job's cost (a subsidy released
back to the payer, plus an optional bonus to the node), subject to allow-lists, job-type restrictions and
per-period caps. The Ocean Node is the single source of truth for which providers are usable — a node
may not support subsidies at all — so the CLI always reads provider addresses from the node's status,
never from bundled contract addresses.

Changes

src/nodeConnection.ts

  • New nodeSubsidyInfo(status) extractor (mirrors nodeChainIds): returns
    { providers: Record<chainId, string[]>, filter: boolean } from the node's status. Reads the fields via
    a local narrowing cast (the ocean.js NodeStatus type does not yet declare them, but the node returns
    them at runtime), defaulting to {} / false for older nodes.

src/helpers.ts

  • New parseSubsidyProviders(raw?) implementing the Ocean Node tri-state for the
    --subsidyProviders flag: flag omitted → undefined (node default); none/empty → [] (explicitly no
    subsidy); CSV → EIP-55-normalized string[]. Throws on a malformed address. Preserving undefined vs
    [] matters because the ocean.js request body is truthy-guarded and [] is still transmitted.

src/commands.ts

  • computeStart gains a subsidyProviders?: string[] param, forwarded as the trailing arg to
    ProviderInstance.computeStart(...) (filling the intervening optional slots). initializeCompute is
    intentionally not touched — the subsidy applies at escrow-claim time, not at the payment preview.
  • startService gains a subsidyProviders option, added to the ServiceStartParams.
  • extendService gains a subsidyProviders? param, forwarded as the trailing arg to
    ProviderInstance.serviceExtend(...).
  • New getSubsidyStatus(token, opts) — a read-only, provider-agnostic report backed by the
    ocean.js SubsidyView base wrapper, with kind-specific detail from OPFSubsidyProvider (rolling
    day/week/month) and OneTimeSubsidyProvider (cumulative credit). Per discovered provider it prints the
    kind, per-window buckets (limit / used / remaining / reset), the amount claimable now
    (remainingSubsidy), the contract's available balance, eligibility, and an optional quote
    ({subsidy, bonus}) when --node/--jobType/--amount are given.
  • New private resolveSubsidyProviderAddresses(chainId, nodeProviders, override?) — resolves the
    contract addresses only from the node's advertised subsidyProviders[chainId]; --subsidy merely
    narrows to a node-advertised subset (addresses the node did not advertise are dropped with a warning).
    Never reads config.SubsidyProviders / ADDRESS_FILE.
  • New private mapJobType(str?) — maps compute|service|none (or a raw number) to the on-chain
    JobType enum (NONE=0, COMPUTE=1, SERVICE=2).
  • The report uses subsidyKind() as the liveness probe rather than gating on isSubsidyView(): the
    node already vouches for these providers, so a provider is only skipped if subsidyKind() reverts.

src/cli.ts

  • New getSubsidyProviders command (alias subsidyProviders) — prints the node's per-chain providers
    and whether subsidyProviderFilter is on. Node-dependent (not in NODE_FREE_COMMANDS), implemented
    inline like getNode.
  • getNode now also prints the subsidy info via a shared printSubsidyInfo helper.
  • New getSubsidyStatus command (alias subsidyStatus) — --token, --chainId, --subsidy,
    --node, --jobType, --amount; routes the signer with routeExplicit like the escrow getters.
  • --subsidyProviders option added to startCompute, startService and extendService, parsed with
    parseSubsidyProviders and threaded through. startFreeCompute is intentionally left unchanged (a free
    job does no escrow claim).
  • New "Subsidy providers" HELP_GROUPS entry covering both commands (keeps
    assertHelpGroupsCoverAll satisfied).

Docs & tests

  • README.md — new Subsidy Providers section documenting the three commands and the
    --subsidyProviders flag.
  • CLAUDE.md — added the Subsidy-providers entry to the command inventory, noting the node-as-source-of-
    truth rule and the ocean.js wrappers used.
  • test/subsidyProviders.test.ts — new unit test (no infra) covering the parseSubsidyProviders
    tri-state and EIP-55 normalization.

Design notes

  • Addresses come from the node, never from bundled config. A node may not support subsidies, and the
    lib's bundled addresses could list a contract the node will never claim against, so the node's status is
    authoritative.
  • subsidyProviders tri-state is preserved end-to-end (omit → node default, none/[] → no subsidy,
    list → those), matching Ocean Node / ocean.js semantics.
  • Provider-agnostic reads via SubsidyView + ERC-165 mean the same command works for OPF rolling-
    window providers, one-time onboarding-credit providers, and any future ISubsidyView provider.

Dependencies

  • @oceanprotocol/lib → 9.3.0-next.2 (adds SubsidyView / OPFSubsidyProvider /
    OneTimeSubsidyProvider, the subsidyProviders request threading, and the isSubsidyView/
    supportsInterface fix verified against live Base contracts).
  • @oceanprotocol/contracts → ^3.1.0 (ISubsidyView / OneTimeSubsidyProvider + new escrow claim ABI).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added commands to view subsidy providers advertised by a node and check subsidy eligibility, limits, balances, and quotes.
    • Added --subsidyProviders to paid compute, service start, and service extension commands. Omit it to use node defaults, pass none or an empty value to select no providers, or provide a comma-separated list to choose specific providers.
    • startFreeCompute ignores --subsidyProviders.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on inspecting subsidy settings and selecting providers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI adds commands to inspect subsidy providers advertised by a node and report provider status. Paid compute and service commands accept optional provider selections, with distinct handling for omitted, empty, and explicit values.

Changes

Subsidy provider support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Discover and report subsidy status
package.json, src/commands.ts, src/nodeConnection.ts, src/cli.ts
The CLI displays providers advertised in node status and adds commands to inspect subsidy eligibility, limits, balances, and optional quotes. The dependency versions for @oceanprotocol/contracts and @oceanprotocol/lib change.
Select providers for paid operations
src/helpers.ts, src/cli.ts, src/commands.ts, test/subsidyProviders.test.ts, README.md, CLAUDE.md
The provider parser preserves the difference between omitted input, no providers, and an explicit address list. Compute start, service start, and service extension pass the selection to ocean.js. Tests cover parsing behavior, and documentation describes the commands and option.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1ab87

Invalid provider selections cause unnecessary initialization and a misleading payment prompt, but do not submit payment. The change is mergeable with this bounded validation-order issue addressed or accepted for follow-up.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1ab87

The new selection remains separate from existing payer, payment-chain, escrow, and confirmation controls. No introduced authorization bypass or signer substitution was established. Risk remains above minimal because provider enforcement and payment recovery across the CLI, node, and contracts could not be fully verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The evidenced new exposure consists of subsidy choices on payer-initiated compute and service operations, plus reporting against node-selected contract addresses. Provider addresses are not substituted for signing identities locally. Maximum downstream contract, shared-credit, or cross-user exposure cannot be established from this repository alone.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Node-status retrieval applies transport-specific preparation and a timeout, then returns the library response. This implementation is unchanged from the base. It does not itself demonstrate response authentication; the new reporting path additionally trusts that response to identify provider query targets.
  • observed — Paid selections receive address-format validation but are not locally restricted to node-advertised providers. The advertised filter flag describes node policy rather than a CLI enforcement control. Whether downstream policy permits or rejects a selection is unresolved, not evidence of an authorization bypass.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate the end-to-end contract across supported versions: preserve omitted, empty, and explicit selections; enforce the configured provider policy; prevent silent fallback from a rejected explicit selection; and establish ownership of payment recovery after interruption, retries, or concurrent lifecycle requests.

AI automated code review (Gemini 3).

Overall risk: low

Summary:
This is an exceptionally well-crafted PR. The architecture correctly treats the node as the source of truth for subsidy providers. The implementation of the tri-state --subsidyProviders logic is robust, error handling is thorough, and the new getSubsidyStatus command is a comprehensive and helpful tool. The careful use of ethers.getAddress for address normalization and intersection logic is great to see. LGTM!

Comments:
• [INFO][other] Just a small note: the opts.amount value is passed directly to quoteSubsidy as a string. Depending on the token contract and ocean.js implementation, this might expect a Wei-formatted string (e.g. '1000000000000000000' for 1 token). If users typically provide natural units (e.g., '1.5') on the CLI, you might want to consider parsing it using ethers.parseUnits(opts.amount, decimals) first. If CLI users are already expected to pass Wei strings or if the lib handles it internally, this is perfectly fine as-is!
• [INFO][style] Excellent handling of the tri-state logic here! Preserving the distinction between omitting the flag (node default) and explicit empty arrays (no subsidy) is a very clean and robust solution for interacting with the ocean.js APIs without breaking expected payloads.

before `initializeSigner()` in the command flow, alongside the `serviceIds`
length check. Keep its existing error message and early return so invalid
`--subsidyProviders` values are rejected before compute initialization and
payment prompts.
