feat(rc): warn before publishing a post the account cannot afford - #3497
Conversation
Closes #3496 Until now the first anyone heard of an RC shortfall was the chain rejecting a post they had already finished writing. For a large enough post waiting does not help either: cost is dominated by serialized transaction size, and it can exceed the account's maximum RC rather than just its current balance, which is what happened in the report that started this work. The editor now costs the draft while it is being written and shows a non-blocking warning when it looks unaffordable. Tapping it opens the offer sheet a failed broadcast already raises, so there stays one place that sells a top-up or a boost. buildEditorRcPayload assembles the operation the editor actually broadcasts, including the real metadata. Pricing the raw draft with tags-only metadata would understate a post carrying a summary, images or links, and understating is the one direction that lets the chain reject a post we called affordable. Image ratios are the one deliberate omission: fetching them would put requests on the network every time typing pauses, and the few bytes they add can only make the estimate lower, never a false alarm. Costing parses the body, so it runs on a pause in typing rather than on every keystroke, and a draft that cannot be costed says nothing rather than guessing. @ecency/sdk 2.3.85 for estimateRcPrecheck, which prices the operation the way the chain does instead of using the network average. The average is dominated by short replies: it told the account in that report it could afford 17 more posts when the next one needed more RC than the account could ever hold.

When a post contains a poll, the actual submit path passes pollDraft to extractMetadata in editorContainer.tsx:1137-1143, but this builder never receives or forwards that value. Poll questions and choices can add substantial serialized metadata, so a low-RC account can receive no warning even though the larger operation is rejected; poll changes also do not affect the banner's current effect dependencies. Pass the live poll draft into this builder and rebuild when it changes.

Fixed in b44c4a8.
Right, and the stored list understated exactly the posts most likely to sit near the line. Two additions happen at submit time.
The 3Speak row is exact now: the builder calls the same enforceThreeSpeakBeneficiary the submit path calls, on the same body, so an embedded video adds the same mandatory row to the priced comment_options.
The support row needed a judgement call. Submit resolves it with a decrypted access token and a network fetch, which is far too heavy to repeat while someone types. It now comes from the shared query cache instead: getSupportSettingsQueryOptions is keyed ["support","settings",username] with no token in the key, so the settings screen and the beneficiary modal warm the same entry and a cold cache costs nothing. When the cache is cold the row is skipped, which leaves the estimate lower by one beneficiary rather than raising a warning that would not have happened. The container now exposes whether the author set an explicit list, since that is the condition submit uses to decide on the row at all.
Five tests: the 3Speak row added by an embed, the support row added when no list was set, an author-set list left alone, nothing added for the support account itself, and nothing added when the percentage is unknown.

This banner is also mounted when isEdit is true, but the builder treats that draft as a new post or reply. The real edit path in editorContainer.tsx:1540-1624 retains the existing parent/permlink and commonly broadcasts a compact diff patch, whereas this estimate prices the complete body with a generated permlink. Editing a large existing post can therefore show an RC-shortfall offer even when the small patch is affordable; either suppress the precheck for edits or construct the same edit operation.

Fixed in 618f287, by modelling edits rather than hiding the banner.
Checking the update path first was worth it, because the divergence is bigger than the permlink: editorContainer sends createPatch(oldBody, newBody) whenever the patch is smaller than the old body, keeps the original permlink and parent, and merges metadata through makeJsonMetadataForUpdate. Pricing that as a new post overstates a one-word fix to a long article by the entire article, so it invents warnings.
I chose to build the real edit payload because an edit can genuinely exhaust RC and suppressing the banner would leave that case silent. Six tests cover it: original identity kept, a small change to a long post staying small, the whole body sent when a diff would not be smaller, no comment_options, an untouched AI disclosure surviving the merge, and nothing returned when there is no post.

For every new top-level post, _submitPost supplies options to commentMutation in editorContainer.tsx:1197-1215, causing the SDK to broadcast both comment and comment_options; this precheck payload prices only the comment. The omitted operation includes reward settings and potentially beneficiaries, so accounts near the threshold can still pass the check and have the actual transaction rejected. Estimate the complete operation set rather than only this member.

Fixed in 618f287. Confirmed and worse than a near-threshold problem: makeOptions returns a full options object whenever author and permlink are present, so a post sends comment_options on default reward settings too. Every post was priced short by a whole operation plus its beneficiaries, not just the customised ones.
The payload now carries options for posts and omits it for replies, which genuinely send none. Three tests: options present on defaults, the real beneficiaries carried through, and absent for a reply.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not run this precheck for edits unless edit payloads are supported.
This banner renders when isEdit is true. buildEditorRcPayload only builds a new post or reply. Its post path generates a new permlink instead of targeting the existing post permlink.
The estimate can therefore describe a different operation from the edit broadcast. If edits are out of scope, render the banner only when !isEdit. Otherwise, add an edit payload that uses the existing author and permlink.

Review follow-up. Every finding was the same gap: the builder claimed to assemble the broadcast operation while quietly assembling less than one. A post always sends comment_options beside the comment, on default reward settings as much as custom ones, and the estimate carried none of it, so every post was priced short by a whole operation and its beneficiaries. Polls, video thumbnails and the selected thumbnail all go into json_metadata and the submit path feeds them to extractMetadata. The builder took only the body and tags, so a poll post could pass the check and still be rejected, which is the failure this feature exists to prevent. Edits were priced as new posts. An edit keeps the original permlink and parent and sends a diff of the body whenever that is smaller, so the priced operation described something the app would never broadcast, in the direction that invents warnings. It now builds the real update: original identity, createPatch body, makeJsonMetadataForUpdate metadata merged over what the post already carries, no comment_options, and an AI disclosure the author is not touching survives. The debounce dependencies missed aiTools, so a disclosure toggled after the last edit to title, body or tags left an obsolete estimate standing. Object inputs are serialized in the dependency list because the editor hands down fresh references on every render, which would otherwise restart the debounce forever. The reply permlink is memoized per parent rather than regenerated per rebuild: it is time-derived, so only its length reaches the estimate and the millisecond component can change that length at digit boundaries.
The stored beneficiary list is not what gets broadcast. _submitPost adds a mandatory 3Speak row when the body embeds one of their videos, and the author's voluntary Ecency support row when they never set a list of their own. Each lands in comment_options, so pricing the stored list alone understated exactly the posts most likely to sit near the line. The 3Speak rule is pure and runs the same enforceThreeSpeakBeneficiary the submit path calls, so it is exact. The support row needs the author's saved percentage, which submit fetches with a decrypted access token. That is far too heavy to repeat while someone types, so it is read from the shared query cache instead: the key is username-scoped and carries no token, so the settings screen and the beneficiary modal warm the same entry. When the cache is cold the row is skipped, which can only make the estimate lower by one beneficiary, never raise a warning that would not have happened. Whether the author set a list is now exposed by the container, since that is the condition submit uses to decide on the support row.

Closes #3496. Follow-up to #3495, which fixed the offer after a failure.
Why
The first anyone heard of an RC shortfall was the chain rejecting a post they had already finished writing. Worse, for a large enough post waiting does not help: cost is dominated by serialized transaction size, and in the report that started this work it reached 23.3B RC against an account whose maximum was 21.4B. No amount of regeneration would have made that post publishable, and nothing in the app could say so.
What
A non-blocking warning in the editor, shown while the draft is being written, when the estimated cost exceeds available RC. Tapping it opens the two-route offer sheet from #3495, so there is still one place that sells a top-up or a boost.
buildEditorRcPayload(src/utils/rcPayload.ts) assembles the operation the editor actually broadcasts: the same permlink shape, parent, tag fallback and fullmakeJsonMetadataoutput. Pricing the raw draft with tags-only metadata would understate a post carrying a summary, images or links, and understating is the one direction that lets the chain reject a post we called affordable.Two deliberate departures, both in the safe direction:
fetchRatiosis off. Fetching image ratios would put requests on the network every time typing pauses. The few bytes they add can only make the estimate lower, never a false alarm.Costing parses the body, so it runs 800ms after typing stops rather than on every keystroke, and a draft that cannot be costed shows nothing rather than guessing.
useRcPrecheck(src/hooks/useRcPrecheck.ts) wrapsestimateRcPrecheckover the three SDK queries. Without a payload the estimator prices a minimal operation, a lower bound that can miss a marginal case but never invents a warning, which is the right default for this.SDK bump
^2.3.83to^2.3.85forestimateRcPrecheck, which prices the actual operation the way the chain does rather than using the network average. The average is dominated by short replies: it told the account in that report it could afford 17 more posts when the next one needed more RC than the account could ever hold. Lockfile diff is the single@ecency/sdkentry.Testing
src/utils/rcPayload.test.ts, 10 cases: post and reply shapes, the five-word permlink cap, thehive-125125tag fallback, blank-tag filtering, AI disclosure, metadata size against a tags-only baseline, and the two nothing-to-price cases.Full suite 855 (10 new), typecheck clean at 0 errors, lint identical to
development.Device check
The estimator's arithmetic is covered by the SDK's own tests and was validated against a real rejection there, but the banner appearing at the right moment is worth confirming on a low-RC account: type past the threshold, confirm it appears, confirm tapping it opens the sheet, and confirm it does not appear for a normal short post.
