What
Make validator/miner chain-provider logging legible: a one-time startup summary of which API each provider talks to, and consistent backend tags on the RPC/verify path so it's clear who served a call.
Why
Today the backend in use is scattered across ad-hoc inline prefixes (
BTC RPC ...,BTC Esplora: ...,TAO scan: ...) and there's no single "here's the lineup" line at load. Hard to tell at a glance which API a node is using or which Esplora host served a given lookup.Changes
create_chain_providers, oncheck=True): logs each provider and its backend once, e.g.describe()onChainProvider(default = chain name; overridden by BTC/TAO).[BTC-RPC],[Esplora],[Subtensor](module constants, defined once).Scope
Limited to the transaction-verification / RPC-call path — the "which API served this" story. Send/sign/address/fee log lines are intentionally untouched. No behavior changes; logging strings only. Full base URL is still preserved inside the raised
HTTPErrorfor deep debugging.Test
ruff format+ruff checkpass; package compiles. No tests assert on the changed log strings.
