crypto_generator.py
===================
Generates fully-realized encryption challenges for the CyberArena pool.
Contract (this is one of N challenge-type generators; see main.py for the
orchestrator that runs all of them):
main.py watcher (polls encryption_challenges count)
โ
โผ
refill_pool(team_role, count)
โ
โผ
_refill_pool_unlocked()
โ
โ 1. System pre-selects algorithm (ALGORITHM_ROTATION)
โ 2. AI generates: title + story + task + hints + plaintext
โ 3. Python encrypts the plaintext with the pre-selected algo
โ 4. ChallengeBuilder produces a Challenge, insert to DB
โ
โผ
public.encryption_challenges
The algorithm is FIXED per slot โ the AI is only asked to write flavor text
(title, story, task, hints) plus the plaintext. Python handles all
encryption deterministically. This guarantees the algorithm always matches
its module, and the crypto logic is provably correct (no LLM hallucination).
Public API (used by main.py):
- POOL_TARGET = 5 per (team, module)
- async refill_pool(team_role, count) -> int (returns # inserted)
- async start_pool_watcher(team_role, module) (long-running task)
CLI:
python crypto_generator.py --team blue --seed-only
python crypto_generator.py --team red --seed-only
python crypto_generator.py --team blue --ai --count 1 (requires GROQ_API_KEY)

Pool model: each team (red) keeps POOL_TARGET=5 cached challenges total,
distributed round-robin across modules. Whenever the count is below
POOL_TARGET, the watcher refills exactly the missing slots (no waiting
for the count to drop to a threshold). Above POOL_TARGET it does nothing.
Concurrency:
- One watcher task per (generator, team) is enforced via
`_WATCHER_STARTED` โ second call is a no-op.
- The refill itself runs under the per-team lock, so even a manual
CLI `--refill` can't overshoot POOL_TARGET.
Polling cadence:
- When the pool is full (count >= target): poll every IDLE_POLL_SECS
seconds (cheap, just a count() call).
- When the pool is below target: poll every 5 seconds so a consumed
challenge is replaced almost in real-time.
