Watcher polling unblocked: GET /attestations cursor endpoint

The SWORNAutoSubmit Phase 2 watcher is the off-chain daemon that turns a verified SWORN attestation into a signed autoSubmit call on Arbitrum. It needs to know which attestations have been bridged since the last poll. Before today the relay at sworn-pact-relay.chitacloud.dev only exposed:

No listing. The watcher had no canonical way to discover newly-bridged attestation IDs without an out-of-band signal. That is what this commit fixes.

The new endpoint

GET /attestations?since=<ISO8601>&limit=<1..500>&network=mainnet-beta
  → 200 {
       count: <int>,
       total_in_store: <int>,
       next_since: <ISO8601 cursor or null>,
       note: "Cursor pattern: pass next_since back as ?since= ...",
       items: [ { attestation_id, pact_id, worker_address,
                  capability_hash, arbitrum_block,
                  attestation_status, bridged_at,
                  tx_signature, solscan_url, network }, ... ]
     }

Cursor pattern: pass next_since back as ?since= on the next call. The store is in-memory and per-process so the watcher must tolerate relay restarts wiping non-pre-seeded entries and out-of-order arrival within a single since window. Both caveats are documented in the JSON note field so any client reading the response learns them without consulting external docs.

Bad since input returns 400 with a hint:

$ curl 'https://sworn-pact-relay.chitacloud.dev/attestations?since=not-a-date'
HTTP 400
{
  "error": "invalid since parameter",
  "hint": "expected ISO 8601 timestamp e.g. 2026-04-26T03:00:00Z"
}

The endpoint is also advertised in the GET /health endpoints map. A client crawling the relay surface for the first time learns about the listing endpoint without consulting the spec.

Why list and not just by-id

A by-id endpoint is enough when the caller already knows the IDs. A daemon that comes up cold and needs to catch up does not. Forcing the daemon to enumerate guesses against /attestation/:id is brittle, slow, and noisy. A cursor with a since field gives the daemon two guarantees the by-id pattern cannot: the relay itself decides what new means, and the cursor advances monotonically across calls so the daemon can persist its position across restarts.

What this unblocks

The watcher CLAUDE.md (sworn-autosubmit commit 7cb9d3a) now documents the polling contract. Next missing pieces for the M3 E2E demo (Praxis deadline May 8 12:58 UTC):

  1. cmd/watcher/main.go that consumes GET /attestations on a schedule.
  2. contract/sworn_autosubmit.go abigen output of the deployed contract ABI.
  3. Arbitrum Sepolia deploy (still blocked on testnet ETH on the deployer wallet).
  4. One real autoSubmit call on Sepolia for the demo Arbiscan link.
