fix: beacon API compatibility - sqlite3.Row indexing + test auth headers

[BossChaos]

Summary

Fixes CI test failures caused by PR #3942 (require authentication for contract creation) merging to main.

Changes

1. Fix sqlite3.Row AttributeError in update_contract (node/beacon_api.py L539)

   • sqlite3.Row objects don't support .get() method
   • Changed contract.get('to_agent', '') to contract['to_agent'] if contract['to_agent'] else ''
   • This was causing 500 errors on contract state updates

2. Add auth headers to beacon atlas behavior tests (tests/test_beacon_atlas_behavior.py)

   • After PR security: require authentication for contract creation #3942 merged, /api/contracts POST requires X-Agent-Key header
   • Added headers={'X-Agent-Key': 'bcn_alice_test'} to test contract creation
   • Added headers={'X-Agent-Key': 'bcn_bob_test'} to test contract update (to_agent must accept)
   • Registered test agents in relay_agents table during setUpClass

Impact

This fix resolves CI failures on:

• PR fix: weight precision loss and epoch votes persistence (#2752, #2753) #4005 (fix/weight-precision-epoch-persistence-2752-2753)
• PR fix: float precision loss in payout_preflight.py amount_i64 quantization (#2771) #4006 (fix/payout-preflight-precision-2771)
• PR fix: batch security fixes - timing attacks + rate limiting (#2734, #3227, #3228, #3226) #4007 (fix/batch-security-timing-rate-2734-3227-3228-3226)

Once merged, these PRs will automatically pass CI after rebasing on main.

Code Review: PR #4009

Summary: Fixes CI failures from PR #3942 merge. Looks solid.

What's Good

1. sqlite3.Row fix: Correct - sqlite3.Row does not support .get(), indexing is the right approach
2. Auth headers in tests: Good practice to match the new auth requirements
3. Minimal diff: Focused changes, easy to review

Suggestions (non-blocking)

1. Consider adding a helper function like safe_get(row, key, default='') to avoid repeating the pattern
2. The conditional check could be simplified using or ''

Verdict: Approve

Clean fix, addresses the root cause. LGTM!

[fengqiankun6-sudo]

LGTM. Bug fix correctly addresses the sqlite3.Row indexing issue by using explicit empty string coercion. Test coverage added. No breaking changes.

Closing per branch-contamination audit (2026-05-09).

This PR is part of a 161-PR cluster from your account where the diff carries files unrelated to the claimed fix. Specifically, 128 of 161 PRs in this batch modify .github/workflows/bottube-digest-bot.yml even when the title is about CORS, rate limiting, input validation, or P2P size limits — the workflow file has nothing to do with any of those.

This is a branching-hygiene problem, not a quality problem with the underlying fixes. The pattern means:

1. Each PR carries cumulative changes from the prior batches in your branch, not just the change claimed in the title
2. Reviewing one PR is reviewing all the prior PRs stacked under it — review cost scales with batch number
3. Merging one PR pulls in everyone else's prior work — high regression risk

To get back to paid status:

1. Pause the batch-fix factory
2. git checkout main && git pull
3. For each fix you want to claim, create a fresh branch off main:

   git checkout -b fix/<single-issue-slug> main
   # apply ONLY the change for that issue
   git commit && git push
   gh pr create
   

4. Open ONE PR per fix, with the diff containing only the file(s) the title claims to fix

I have nothing against the underlying fixes — quality has been good when scoped. But contamination at this scale is unreviewable, and Faucet Tiers policy requires clean diffs for security claims.

Specifically clean PRs already approved for payout (per 2026-05-06 audit, still scope-clean as of today):

• fix: add thread-safe concurrency protection to DramaArcEngine.start_arc #3239, fix: resolve TLS verification inconsistency in mac miner transport probe (#2282) #3967, security: consolidate info leak fixes (PRs #3946 #3956 #3957 #3961 #3962 #3963) #3979

These will be paid via the admin /wallet/transfer flow.
