The Beacon Atlas API docs additions look good, but this PR also injects TOFU key code with the same bugs as PR #395 (duplicate function definitions, schema mismatches). Please split this: submit a docs-only PR with just the README and docs/API.md changes, and remove the TOFU code. The docs portion will be merged immediately.

Much better than the previous version — docs are solid. Two issues with the code portions:

  1. Duplicate function: ensure_tofu_tables() appears twice in the diff
  2. Dead code: revoke_tofu_key(), rotate_tofu_key(), and get_tofu_key() are added to the production server file but no Flask routes expose them. Either wire up @app.route handlers or move these to a separate module so they're not dead code in production.
  3. rate_limiting.py references beacon_atlas.db — the actual DB is rustchain_v2.db

The README and API.md documentation changes are good and ready to go. Can you either:

  • Remove the dead code (just ship the docs), or
  • Add the Flask routes to actually expose the TOFU endpoints?

Either way, fix the duplicate function. Thanks @dannamax!

Closing — this PR bundles 605 lines of broken TOFU/rate-limiter code (identical to closed PR #395) into what should be a documentation PR. The rate_limiting.py also has a SQL injection vulnerability via unsanitized table_name in f-strings.

The 81 lines of actual Beacon Atlas API docs are fine. If you want the docs bounty (#304), please resubmit a clean PR with ONLY the README.md and docs/API.md changes — no node code, no rate limiter, no TOFU.
