📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR implements blockchain-style integrity chaining for grievance follower records. The feature adds SHA-256 hash computation during follower creation, links hashes in a chain via previous_integrity_hash, caches the last hash to avoid repeated DB queries, synchronizes operations with a threading lock, and provides a verification endpoint to validate chain integrity.

Pull request overview
This PR adds blockchain-style integrity chaining to GrievanceFollower records by storing an integrity_hash and previous_integrity_hash, computing the hash at follower creation time, and exposing an API endpoint to verify a follower record’s seal.
Changes:
- Add
integrity_hash/previous_integrity_hashfields toGrievanceFollowerplus DB migration steps for existing deployments. - Compute and persist follower chaining hashes during
POST /grievances/{grievance_id}/follow, using a process-local lock and aThreadSafeCachefor the last hash. - Add
GET /follower/{follower_id}/blockchain-verifyto validate a follower record’s stored hash.

functions that read/update the last hash (identify and wrap the code that

(e.g., Redis Redlock) and acquire/release it where follower_blockchain_lock is
used; alternatively, if you intend single-worker deployment, add a clear comment
and documentation near follower_blockchain_lock stating that multi-worker
concurrency is unsupported.

Re-enable migrate_db() (or ensure it runs as a deployment step) for existing DBs so grievance_followers gets the new columns/index.
The migration block in backend/init_db.py looks fine, but backend/main.py skips it at startup: Base.metadata.create_all runs, while # await run_in_threadpool(migrate_db) is commented out (“migrations skipped for local dev”). For existing databases, create_all won’t add new columns—yet backend/routers/grievances.py queries GrievanceFollower.integrity_hash and GrievanceFollower.previous_integrity_hash, which will error if those columns don’t exist.

| # Lock for synchronizing blockchain operations | ||
| follower_blockchain_lock = threading.Lock() |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
threading.Lock does not synchronize across multiple worker processes.
The lock prevents concurrent access within a single Python process but provides no protection when running with multiple uvicorn/gunicorn workers or multiple pods. Concurrent follow requests handled by different workers can still read the same "last hash" and create forked chains.
For true linearization across workers, consider:
- Database-level locking (e.g.,
SELECT ... FOR UPDATEon a sentinel row) - A distributed lock (Redis, etc.)
If single-worker deployment is acceptable for this use case, document that assumption.

💡 What:
Implemented SHA-256 blockchain-style integrity chaining for the
GrievanceFollowermodel.🎯 Why:
Ensures auditability and data immutability for follower records. Optimized performance using a
ThreadSafeCacheto eliminate database round-trips for the previous record's hash during creation. Added a globalthreading.Lockto prevent hash "forking" during concurrent follow requests.📊 Impact:
🔬 Measurement:
Verified using a new integration test suite covering both first-follower and sequential-follower chaining, ensuring
previous_integrity_hashlinks are correctly established and validatable.PR created automatically by Jules for task 2948554099736286497 started by @RohanExploit
Summary by cubic
Adds SHA-256 integrity chaining to grievance followers to make the history auditable and tamper-evident. Includes an O(1) last-hash cache, a lock to prevent concurrent forks, a verification endpoint, and DB fields for hashes.
