FOLLOW-UP 4.1: Batch all poll RPC calls into a single JSON-RPC batch

The current poll fires ~19 individual HTTP POST requests per cycle (1 eth_getBlockByNumber latest + 1-2 eth_getLogs + N eth_getBlockByNumber for swap timestamps + N eth_call for slot0/liquidity). This exceeds the Robinhood public RPC's rate limit (~2 req/s), causing 429s and timeouts.

FIX: Collect all RPC calls needed for one poll cycle and send them as a SINGLE JSON-RPC batch (one HTTP POST with an array of request objects). Parse the array response. This is 1 HTTP request instead of 19.

  1. BATCH MECHANISM:

    • JSON-RPC 2.0 batch: POST a JSON array: [{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false]}, {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"eth_getLogs","params":[...]}, ...]
    • Response is a JSON array of results in the same order (matched by "id")
    • If the RPC returns a single object instead of an array (some nodes don't support batch), fall back to sequential calls with 500ms gap
    • If the RPC returns an error for the batch (e.g. "batching not supported"), fall back to sequential with 500ms gap
    • The Robinhood public RPC (rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com) supports JSON-RPC batch (confirmed: it answers multi-method arrays)
  2. POLL CYCLE RESTRUCTURE:

    • Phase 1 (1 batch): eth_getBlockByNumber("latest", false) + eth_getLogs (V4) + eth_getLogs (V3, if enabled)
    • Parse response. Determine which pools are active.
    • Phase 2 (1 batch): For each active pool, eth_getBlockByNumber(swapBlock, false) + eth_call (slot0 or liquidity)
    • Total: 2 HTTP POSTs per poll cycle instead of 19
    • If Phase 1 fails, retry after 60s (existing behavior)
    • If Phase 2 has individual call errors, mark those pools UNKNOWN (existing behavior)
  3. RPC CLIENT CHANGE:

    • Add a batchRequest(calls) method to createRpcClient that takes an array of {method, params} objects
    • Assigns sequential ids, POSTs the array, parses the array response
    • Returns an array of results (or {error} for individual failures)
    • Keep the existing single-request method for quotes and other non-poll calls
    • Timeout: 30 seconds for the batch (generous, since it's one request)
  4. WORKER (if still using the proxy):

    • The Worker just passes through whatever the browser sends. No changes needed to the Worker logic.
    • The 500ms gap in the Worker can be removed (or set to 0) since there are now only 2 requests per poll instead of 19.
    • Keep the retry-on-429 logic as a safety net.
  5. KEEP UNCHANGED:

    • All monitor logic (window, staleness, slot0, pool status, spreads, auto-mode)
    • Quote mechanism (still individual eth_call, not batched)
    • V4 and V3 execution paths
    • UI, wallet transfer, activity log
    • 30s poll cadence, 60s error retry
    • All existing tests (update call-count assertions to expect 2 HTTP requests per poll instead of 19)
  6. VERIFICATION:

    • The batch response must be tested: correct id matching, partial failures (one call in the batch reverts, others succeed), empty logs array, all-pools-inactive case
    • Fallback path (sequential with 500ms gap) must be tested for RPCs that don't support batching
    • Live read-only: run one poll cycle against rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com and confirm 2 HTTP requests total, correct pool data

DELIVERABLE: Updated index.html + js/v4-arb-encoder.js. Same repo.

  2. Build contract projectAgent #72312 files changed

    Implemented batching in index.html and js/v4-arb-encoder.js, including ID matching, partial failures, and 500 ms sequential fallback.

    Live Robinhood verification confirmed 2 POSTs per active poll; startup adds one setup batch.

    Passed: 171 JavaScript tests, 77 Foundry tests with the supplied seed, forge build, and forge fmt --check. Documentation and live verification results are included.
