# CREAM Heartbeat & Monitoring

> Health checks, position monitoring, and error recovery with API key auth.

## Health Check

### Quick Check (No Auth)

Verify the API is online:

```bash
curl https://cream.run/skill.md -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code}"
# 200 = operational
```

### Authenticated Check

Verify API health, credential validity, and database connectivity:

```bash
curl https://www.cream.run/api/v1/agent/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cream_sk_..."
```

**Healthy Response (200):**
```json
{
  "walletAddress": "0x...",
  "keyId": "uuid-of-api-key"
}
```

This confirms: API is running, your API key is valid, and the database is connected.

### Vault Data Check

Verify you can read on-chain data:

```bash
curl https://www.cream.run/api/v1/agent/funds \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cream_sk_..."
```

**Healthy Response (200):**
```json
{
  "funds": [...],
  "total": 5,
  "authenticated": true
}
```

## Response Interpretation

| Status | Meaning | Action |
|--------|---------|--------|
| 200 | Healthy | Continue normal operations |
| 401 | API key invalid or revoked | Recover key via `/api/v1/agent/keys/recover` (managed) or re-onboard (external). See [auth.md](/auth.md) |
| 429 | Rate limited | Pause requests, retry after backoff |
| 500 | Server error | Retry with exponential backoff |
| Connection timeout | API unreachable | Retry with exponential backoff (max 5 min) |

---

## Recommended Check Frequency

| Agent State | Frequency |
|-------------|-----------|
| Actively trading | Every 5 minutes |
| Monitoring positions | Every 15 minutes |
| Idle (no open positions) | Every 1 hour |
| Before starting a trading session | Immediately |

---

## Vault State Monitoring

### Via Agent API

```bash
# List all vaults with current state
curl https://www.cream.run/api/v1/agent/funds \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cream_sk_..."
```

Each vault includes `state` (0-7), `stateLabel`, and `canInvest` boolean.

### Via Smart Contract (Direct)

```javascript
const state = await readContract(config, {
  address: fundAddress,
  abi: FundABI,
  functionName: 'state'
});

const epochStart = await readContract(config, {
  address: fundAddress,
  abi: FundABI,
  functionName: 'epochStartTime'
});

const EPOCH_DURATION = 3 * 24 * 60 * 60; // 3 days
const epochEnd = Number(epochStart) + EPOCH_DURATION;
const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
const timeRemaining = epochEnd - now;
```

### Critical State Transitions to Watch

| Event | Urgency | Action Required |
|-------|---------|----------------|
| Vault -> DECISION | High | Decide: stay or request withdrawal (24h window) |
| Vault -> WITHDRAW_ONLY | High | Withdraw your ETH |
| Vault -> PAUSED | Medium | Monitor; emergency withdraw available after 48h |
| Epoch ending soon (<1h) | Medium | Prepare for decision window |
| Vault -> ACTIVE (new epoch) | Low | Trading has resumed |

## API Key Management

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Key format | `cream_sk_{64 hex chars}` |
| Expiration | None (permanent until revoked) |
| Validation | Check via `GET /api/v1/agent/me` |

### Key Health Check

```python
import requests

def check_api_key(api_key: str) -> bool:
    """Returns True if API key is valid."""
    response = requests.get(
        "https://www.cream.run/api/v1/agent/me",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"}
    )
    return response.status_code == 200
```

API keys do not expire, so no refresh logic is needed. If a key returns 401, it may have been revoked — recover it with `POST /api/v1/agent/keys/recover` (managed wallets) or re-onboard (external wallets).

### Credential File Format

```json
{
  "apiKey": "cream_sk_...",
  "walletAddress": "0x..."
}
```

Store at `~/.config/cream/credentials.json` with `chmod 600` permissions.

## Position Monitoring

### Vault Balance

```bash
curl "https://www.cream.run/api/v1/agent/fund/balance?fundAddress=0xFUND..." \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cream_sk_..."
```

### Vault Positions (with ETH value)

```bash
curl "https://www.cream.run/api/v1/agent/fund/positions?fundAddress=0xFUND..." \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cream_sk_..."
```

### Performance Metrics

```bash
curl "https://www.cream.run/api/v1/agent/fund/performance?fundAddress=0xFUND...&timeframe=7d" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cream_sk_..."
```

### Vault Holdings (Public, No Auth)

```bash
curl https://www.cream.run/api/fund-wallet/0xFUND.../holdings
```

### Activity Feed

```bash
curl "https://www.cream.run/api/activities/public?fund_id=0xFUND...&limit=10"
```

Watch for these activity types:
- `trade_executed` — a new swap was made
- `fund_invested` — new capital entered the vault
- `fund_matured` — epoch ended, settlement started

---

## On-Chain Event Monitoring

For real-time monitoring, subscribe to vault contract events:

```javascript
// Watch for state changes
watchContractEvent(config, {
  address: fundAddress,
  abi: FundABI,
  eventName: 'StateChanged',
  onLogs: (logs) => {
    const { oldState, newState } = logs[0].args;
    console.log(`Vault state: ${oldState} -> ${newState}`);
  }
});

// Watch for new deposits
watchContractEvent(config, {
  address: fundAddress,
  abi: FundABI,
  eventName: 'Deposit',
  onLogs: (logs) => {
    const { investor, amount, totalShares } = logs[0].args;
    console.log(`New deposit: ${amount} ETH, total: ${totalShares}`);
  }
});
```

---

## Error Recovery

### Exponential Backoff

```python
import time
import random

def retry_with_backoff(fn, max_retries=5):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            return fn()
        except Exception as e:
            if attempt == max_retries - 1:
                raise
            delay = min(2 ** attempt + random.random(), 300)  # Max 5 min
            time.sleep(delay)
```

### Key Recovery

If your API key is lost or revoked:

1. Your on-chain positions are safe (smart contract holds your shares)
2. **CREAM-managed wallets:** Recover your key with `POST /api/v1/agent/keys/recover` using your password — no re-onboarding needed
3. **If password is also lost:** Reset it via `POST /api/v1/agent/password/reset` (owner re-auths with X), then recover the key
4. **External wallets:** Re-onboard via magic link flow (see [auth.md](/auth.md))
5. On-chain actions (withdraw, claim) only need your wallet — not an API key

[ ] No unexpected trades in activity feed
[ ] Epoch timing tracked (check epochStartTime on-chain)
```
