CRITICAL FIX (Dec 9, 2025): Emergency place-exit-orders endpoint now updates database with on-chain order transaction signatures.
Problem:
- Emergency endpoint placed orders on-chain successfully
- But database Trade record showed NULL for order tx fields
- Monitoring tools showed false negatives (NULL when orders exist)
- User frustrated: 'our database HAS TO reflect whats on chain'
Root Cause:
- place-exit-orders endpoint called placeExitOrders() directly
- Successfully placed orders and returned signatures
- But never updated database Trade table with returned tx IDs
- Database out of sync with actual on-chain state
Solution:
- After successful order placement, query database for active trade
- Update Trade.tp1OrderTx, tp2OrderTx, slOrderTx with returned signatures
- Handle both single SL and dual stop configurations
- Log each signature update for verification
- Don't fail request if database update fails (orders already on-chain)
Impact:
- Database now accurately reflects on-chain order state
- Monitoring tools (health checks, queries) show correct status
- User can trust database as source of truth
- Resolves disconnect between user's Drift UI observations and database
Testing:
- Called endpoint with SOL-PERP position parameters
- Received 2 signatures (TP1, TP2) - Bug #76 still present
- Database updated: tp1OrderTx and tp2OrderTx now populated
- Logs confirm: 'Database updated with on-chain order signatures'
Note: Bug #76 (SL order fails silently) still exists but database now accurately reflects whatever orders succeed.
Files changed:
- app/api/trading/place-exit-orders/route.ts (added database update logic)
