Drop everything that duplicates PyCardano. The landscape scan done
2026-04-23 confirmed: no ecosystem gap for wallet/chain/tx-build —
pycardano 0.19.x covers all of it cleanly. The gap is the merchant
state machine, so that's all we ship.
Deleted:
- addresses.py → consumers call pycardano.HDWallet directly
- txbuild.py → consumers use pycardano.OgmiosChainContext directly
- oracles.py → consumers supply a price_fn callable
- mint.py → consumers build mint txs with pycardano;
CIP-25 v2 metadata builder shipped as a copy-paste
snippet in the README
- ipfs.py → py-ipfs-http-client covers it
- tradecraft_compat.py → no one was importing it; kill
- docs/minting-workflow.md → redundant with README pairing guidance
Refactored:
- monitor.evaluate_utxos: ADA-only. The DexHunter token-equivalent
block came out. Consumers who want stablecoin support wrap the
function with their own asset-to-lovelace converter.
- monitor.reprice_expired_invoices: takes a new required kwarg
price_fn: Callable[[float], Awaitable[int]]. No more ADA/USD
oracle shipped in the SDK.
- scheduler.InvoiceScheduler: takes an optional price_fn field;
if None, the reprice job is a no-op (works for fixed-ADA invoices).
Tests (26/26 passing, all offline):
- test_invoice.py — state-machine helpers, 3 tests
- test_store_protocol.py — Protocol conformance + InMemoryStore round-trips, 13 tests
- test_monitor_with_inmemory_store.py — all status transitions + reprice,
rewired to pass price_fn fixtures instead of monkeypatching oracle funcs
Deps dropped: pycardano (consumer pairing, not our dep).
Deps kept: httpx (Koios), apscheduler (background scheduler).
Package shape (1.0.0-dev, ~700 LOC src):
cardano_checkout/
invoice.py — Invoice + InvoiceStatus
store.py — InvoiceStore Protocol + InMemoryStore
monitor.py — Koios poll + UTxO matching + reprice driver
scheduler.py — APScheduler wrapper
README rewritten top-to-bottom: "what we ship", "what we don't ship",
why the niche exists, pycardano-directly examples for the delete-list,
CIP-25 builder as a 20-line copy-paste, InvoiceStore implementation
example. Apache-2.0 license unchanged.
README status table moves everything green except the TradeCraft compat
shim (still yellow, documented sunset path). Adds a migration guide
section mapping every old services/cardano_*.py import to its new
cardano_checkout.* equivalent so TradeCraft can adopt in one atomic
diff once the SQLAlchemyInvoiceStore adapter lands.
docs/minting-workflow.md: step-by-step runbook for the cold-signer
pattern — hot host builds UnsignedMint, operator ships three CBOR hex
files to Lucy, offline signer produces a signed tx, hot host submits
via submit_signed_tx. Covers the tx-id sanity check, skey hygiene
rules, time-locked-policy TTL clamp, and the preprod dry-run
requirement for every new policy.
