Demo Curve Ticker

oracle/src/services/demo-curve-ticker.ts — demo-only.

Re-publishes every seeded curve on a cron with a small random perturbation in basis points, so the blotter's "Trend" sparkline column accumulates history during a demo session.

Why it exists​

Canton's PublishDiscountCurve archives the previous Curve contract on every publish. The ACS holds exactly one curve per key. Without something tickling the curves, useCurveStream in the frontend would never see more than a single point and the trend column would be flat.

Config​

demo:
  curveTicker:
    enabled: true
    cron: "*/30 * * * * *"   # every 30 sec
    bpsRange: 0.25           # ± 0.25 bps perturbation per pillar

What gets ticked​

Every entry in demo.stubCurves.<ccy>.{discount,projections}.*. Each tick:

  1. Reads the seeded pillars from yaml.
  2. Adds Uniform(-bpsRange, +bpsRange) / 10000 to each zeroRate.
  3. Publishes a fresh Curve (which archives the old one) and appends a CurveSnapshot (which doesn't).

Production behaviour​

enabled: false (or remove the whole demo: block when profile: production). Live feeds publish their own curves on their own cadence; the ticker would just add noise.
