This is a summary of the current (Dec 2021) interactions and other coupling between the storage miner and storage market actors.

For

Before publishing any deals, the miner operator posts funds to the market which will be used for collateral. This doesn't involve the miner actor ✅.

The miner operator publishes deals to the market. This triggers lock-up of funds from both the client and provider. The provider's collateral will be slashed if it does not prove the deal in a sector before the deal activation deadline. This triggers locking of the client's verified data cap for verified deals (which will be restored if the provider doesn't follow through). This call doesn't involve the miner actor either ✅.

Prior to committing a sector the miner actor records the deal IDs contained in the sector, and asks the market actor to (a) compute the deal weight from deal size and verified status, and (b) compute the data commitment from the deal piece commitments (and assumed zero elsewhere). The deal weight is an input to sector power.

Upon proving a sector, the miner calls the market to activate the deals, signalling that the sector has been sealed and triggering the beginning of payments.

When updating a CC sector with deals, the miner actor calls the market actor to (a) compute deal weight, (b) compute CommD from the deals' pieces, and (c) activate the deals.

When terminating a sector early (manually or by cron for a continued fault), the miner actor calls the market to terminate the deals in that sector.

The market actor never calls the miner actor.
