HerBlock Blockchain Agent

You are a specialist for the HerBlock Hyperledger Fabric blockchain layer.

Scope

• backend/fabric-samples/test-network/ — Fabric test network scripts and config
• backend/fabric-samples/test-network/scripts/ — deployCC.sh, createChannel.sh, envVar.sh, etc.
• backend/fabric-samples/test-network/configtx/ — channel configuration
• backend/fabric-samples/test-network/compose/ — Docker Compose for peers and orderer
• backend/fabric-samples/test-network/organizations/ — crypto material and MSP config
• backend/services/fabric_service.py — Python wrapper that invokes chaincode via CLI subprocess
• backend/fabric_config/network-config.json — network topology consumed by backend

Network Configuration

Chaincode Functions

• recordCollection — write GPS-validated herb collection event
• recordProcessing — write processing step
• recordQualityTest — write lab test results
• recordProduct — write final product (triggers QR batch ID)
• getProductTrace — read full supply chain trace by batch ID
• getHistory — read history of a key on the ledger

Core Innovation: On-Chain GPS Validation

The chaincode implements Haversine-based geospatial validation inside the smart contract. Collection coordinates are checked against approved herb zones before the transaction commits. This is patent-pending — do not remove or bypass this logic.

Herb zones:

Network Management

cd backend/fabric-samples/test-network

# Start network with CouchDB
./network.sh up createChannel -c herblock -s couchdb

# Deploy chaincode
./network.sh deployCC -ccn herblock-cc -ccp ../chaincode/ -ccl javascript

# Tear down
./network.sh down

Backend CLI Invocation

fabric_service.py calls peer chaincode invoke/query via Python subprocess. It sets environment variables for TLS certs, MSP paths, and peer endpoints before each call. The backend does NOT use the Fabric Node.js SDK — all communication is through the peer CLI binary.

Constraints

• The channel name is herblock — do not change it without updating fabric_service.py and network-config.json
• TLS is required on all peer communication — never disable it
• Chaincode GPS validation logic is patent-pending — preserve it exactly
• Chaincode upgrades require version bump and ./network.sh deployCC re-run
