feat(validator): configurable miner_pats.json path via env var#1561
Merged
Conversation
…R_PATS_FILE Validators who keep subnet data outside the repo can now set GITTENSOR_MINER_PATS_FILE to an exact file path. When unset (or empty) it defaults to data/miner_pats.json at the project root, so existing deployments are unaffected.

What
Adds an optional
GITTENSOR_MINER_PATS_FILEenv var that lets validators store the miner PAT file outside the repo.data/miner_pats.jsonat the project root (current behavior, no change for existing deployments).Why
Validators (e.g. Yuma) keep subnet data in a separate folder to keep the subnet repo clean. There was no way to relocate
miner_pats.json, so they were resorting to symlinks. This also reduces the risk of the PAT store being disturbed on validator updates — a suspected cause of PATs getting wiped and miners having to re-broadcast (low vtrust symptom reported in Discord).Changes
gittensor/validator/pat_storage.py— resolvePATS_FILEfromGITTENSOR_MINER_PATS_FILE, falling back to the existing default..env.example— document the new optional var.tests/validator/test_pat_storage.py— cover default, exact-path override, and empty-string fallback.Test
pytest tests/validator/test_pat_storage.py→ 17 passed.
