shutdown/startup
Implement save/restore functionality for rejected events cache and
integrate persistence with relay shutdown/startup lifecycle. Both
purgatory and rejected cache now survive relay restarts.
Key features:
- Serialize rejected events cache to JSON (rejected-events-cache.json)
- Save both hot cache (2min, full events) and cold index (7day, metadata)
- Restore with downtime adjustment (preserves remaining TTL)
- Graceful degradation (missing/corrupted files don't crash)
- File cleanup after successful restore
- Automatic restoration in SyncManager::new()
Integration:
- Shutdown hook saves both purgatory and rejected cache
- Startup hook restores both and re-queues repositories
- Non-fatal errors (logs warnings, continues on failure)
Files:
- src/sync/rejected_index.rs: save_to_disk/restore_from_disk methods
- src/sync/mod.rs: SyncManager integration and auto-restore
- src/main.rs: Shutdown/startup hooks for both caches
- tests/purgatory_persistence.rs: 17 integration tests
Tests: 13 unit tests + 17 integration tests covering full lifecycle

Add comprehensive comment explaining why some relays (azzamo.net,
snort.social) return zero events during negentropy retry even when
they have the events. Documents infinite loop prevention logic and
suggests future REQ+EOSE fallback strategy.
|
|
When negentropy sync fails (one or more filters fail during diff), the
code previously left a pending batch and returned early, preventing any
sync from happening. This caused the "No sync targets found" issue.
Changes:
- Track negentropy success with a boolean flag
- On negentropy failure: clean up pending batch and fall through to REQ+EOSE
- Log the fallback at info level for visibility
- Restructure control flow so REQ+EOSE path executes after negentropy failure
This ensures sync always completes using traditional REQ+EOSE when
NIP-77 negentropy is unavailable or fails.

Add naughty list tracking for relays with persistent infrastructure issues
(DNS failures, TLS certificate errors, protocol violations) to reduce log
noise and provide better visibility via metrics.
Key features:
- Classify errors into naughty (persistent) vs transient (temporary)
- Track naughty relays with category, reason, and occurrence count
- Log WARN on first naughty occurrence, DEBUG on repeats
- Automatic expiration after 12 hours (configurable)
- Prometheus metrics for monitoring naughty relays by category
- Periodic cleanup task integrated with health checker
Components added:
- src/sync/naughty_list.rs: Core naughty list tracker with error classification
- NaughtyListTracker integration in RelayHealthTracker
- Connection error handling updates in sync manager
- Naughty list metrics (total by category, detailed info per relay)
- Config option for naughty_list_expiration_hours (default: 12)
Closes DNS lookup failures and TLS certificate errors tracking issues.

Live subscriptions (limit:0, no auto-close) are not tracked in
PendingBatch because they stay open indefinitely for new events.
When they receive EOSE (immediately, since no historic events),
handle_eose can't find them in outstanding_subs.
This is expected behavior, not an error. Changed log level from
warn to trace to reduce noise.
Observed in production logs: sync_live() subscriptions with limit:0
complete immediately and trigger this path.
Issue: work/active-issues/eose-unknown-subscription.md
|
|
Change relay NOTICE logging from DEBUG to TRACE level to avoid
duplicate logs (nostr-sdk already logs all NOTICEs at DEBUG level).
Negentropy-specific NOTICEs remain at INFO level as they indicate
important NIP-77 support information.
|
|
EOSE messages can arrive after batch completion due to:
1. Late/duplicate EOSE from relay (e.g., live_sync REQ subscriptions)
2. Race condition between batch confirmation and EOSE arrival
3. EOSE during intentional disconnect cleanup
Since this is expected behavior, downgrade from debug to trace level
to reduce log noise. Added detailed code comment explaining the
scenarios and suggesting how to investigate if needed (tracking
recently-completed subscription IDs).
Resolves issue where duplicate EOSE from live_sync subscriptions
appeared as confusing 'unknown relay' debug messages.
|
|
Previously, disconnect_relay() would immediately remove RelayState and
pending batches before the event loop finished draining messages. This
caused confusing 'unknown relay' debug messages for EOSE and other
events that arrived after state removal but were expected during
normal shutdown.
Changes:
- Add ConnectionStatus::Disconnecting to track intentional disconnects
- disconnect_relay() now marks relay as Disconnecting (keeps state)
- Event loop drains messages while state exists
- handle_disconnect() detects intentional vs unexpected disconnects:
- Intentional: Completes cleanup by removing state/connections
- Unexpected: Updates to Disconnected, keeps connection for retry
- handle_eose() suppresses logs for Disconnecting relays (TRACE level)
- check_disconnects() skips relays already in Disconnecting state
This ensures proper sequencing: mark->drain->cleanup instead of
remove->drain->confusion. Fixes the root cause instead of just
hiding log messages.

The bootstrap relay was being registered with is_bootstrap=false, causing
it to be disconnected when empty. This change adds an is_bootstrap parameter
to register_relay() and passes true when registering the bootstrap relay.
The existing check_disconnects() logic already skips bootstrap relays,
but the flag was never being set correctly.
|
|
When bootstrap sync completes with zero announcements, users may not
know if this is expected or indicates a configuration problem (wrong
domain or wrong bootstrap relay).
Changes:
- Add INFO-level message after bootstrap announcement sync completes
- If zero announcements: suggest verifying domain/relay configuration
- If announcements found: report count for user awareness
- Only applies to bootstrap relay (is_bootstrap flag)
This helps users quickly diagnose configuration issues during initial
setup and testing.

During relay disconnect, EOSE messages may arrive after the relay has
been removed from pending_sync_index. This creates a benign race
condition that was logged as a warning.
Changes:
- Downgrade from warn! to debug! in handle_eose() (src/sync/mod.rs:632)
- Add clarifying comment explaining this occurs during disconnect
- Update message to indicate this is expected behavior

Remove rejected_states_index and use single rejected_events_index for both
announcement and state events. Extract duplicate re-processing logic into
a consolidated helper function.
Changes:
- Eliminate duplicate RepositoryAnnouncement::from_event() call
- Remove rejected_states_index field from SyncManager
- Update cleanup loop to process both event types via single index
- Add ReprocessingStats struct to track re-processing outcomes
- Add reprocess_events_from_hot_cache() helper that handles:
- Logging re-processing attempts with context
- Calling process_event_static recursively
- Tracking saved/duplicate/purgatory/rejected counts
- Replace three nearly-identical re-processing loops with helper calls
Consolidates phases 1, 5, and 6 of rejected events index refactoring.

|
|
Replace PR-specific references (PR3, PR4.1, PR4.2) with problem-focused
documentation that explains what the code does and why.
Changes:
- Maintainer re-processing: Explain race condition handling
- State event re-processing (announcement): Clarify timing issue
- State event re-processing (state): Describe multi-event scenario
Why: PR numbers are ephemeral and meaningless to future readers.
Comments should explain the problem being solved, not when code was added.
All tests pass: 248 library tests passing

**Problem:**
Integration test `test_concurrent_state_and_pr_sync` was timing out because
of a race condition: when syncing from remote relays, state events can arrive
BEFORE their announcements (no ordering guarantee). The system was rejecting
these state events with "no announcement exists" but NOT tracking them for
re-processing when the announcement later arrived.
**Solution:**
Implemented announcement → state event re-processing (GRASP-02 PR4.1) to
handle the race condition, mirroring the existing maintainer announcement
re-processing logic (GRASP-02 PR3).
**What Changed:**
1. **Announcement → State Event Re-processing (GRASP-02 PR4.1)**: When a
repository announcement is accepted, the system now invalidates and
re-processes state events that were rejected with "no announcement exists".
This ensures state events arriving before their announcements are eventually
processed correctly.
2. **State Event → State Event Re-processing (GRASP-02 PR4.2)**: When a state
event is accepted (git data arrives), the system invalidates and re-processes
other rejected state events for the same repository from the hot cache.
(Renamed from PR4 for clarity - this was already implemented in previous commit)
3. **Proper Rejection Tracking**: Extended rejection reason detection to include
"no announcement exists" and "not authorized" messages, ensuring these state
events are properly tracked in the rejected events index for re-processing.
4. **Proper State Event Metrics**: State events now use `add_state()` instead
of `add_announcement()` when rejected, ensuring correct metrics tracking.
5. **Removed Redundant Field**: Removed `event_id` field from `ColdIndexEntry`
since it's already stored as the HashMap key. This eliminates dead code while
preserving the cold index's core purpose: preventing re-fetch of rejected
events during negentropy sync via `get_all_event_ids()`.
6. **Fixed Doc Test**: Changed doc test from `no_run` to `ignore` since it uses
undefined variables for illustration purposes.
7. **Fixed Clippy Warnings**:
- Added `#[allow(dead_code)]` for `reason` fields (reserved for future metrics)
- Fixed unused variable warning
- Collapsed nested if statement
**Why:**
The two-tier rejected events index was handling two scenarios:
- GRASP-02 PR3: Maintainer announcement arrives → re-process announcements
- GRASP-02 PR4.2: State event with git data arrives → re-process state events
But it was missing:
- GRASP-02 PR4.1: Repository announcement arrives → re-process state events
This created a race condition where state events arriving before their
announcements would be rejected and never re-processed.
**Implementation Details:**
The fix follows the same pattern as maintainer re-processing:
1. When announcement accepted, parse it to get pubkey + identifier
2. Call `invalidate_and_get_state_events()` to get rejected state events
3. Re-process each state event from hot cache using `process_event_static()`
4. Log results (Saved, Purgatory, Duplicate, or still rejected)
**Test Results:**
✅ All tests pass (578 total):
- 248 unit tests pass
- 330 integration tests pass (including the previously failing test)
- All clippy warnings fixed
- Doc tests pass
✅ Target test now passes consistently:
- `test_concurrent_state_and_pr_sync` completes in ~2.7s (was timing out at 30s)
**Impact:**
- Fixes race condition in sync ordering (state before announcement)
- No breaking changes - only adds re-processing capability
- Follows existing patterns - mirrors GRASP-02 PR3 maintainer re-processing
- Minimal code changes - ~86 lines added to handle new re-processing path

Add comprehensive authorization checks to ensure state events are only
accepted from maintainers of accepted repository announcements. This
implements the core GRASP-01 requirement that pushes must match the
latest state announcement "respecting the maintainer set."
Changes:
1. StatePolicy authorization (src/nostr/policy/state.rs):
- Check authorization BEFORE git data validation (fail-fast)
- Reject if no announcement exists for repository
- Reject if author not in maintainer set
- Use existing helpers: fetch_repository_data() and
pubkey_authorised_for_repo_owners()
- Structured logging for all rejections
2. Purgatory invalidation (src/nostr/builder.rs):
- New method: check_purgatory_state_events_for_identifier()
- Called when announcements accepted (Accept and AcceptMaintainer)
- Re-evaluates state events in purgatory for the identifier
- Processes newly-authorized events (releases from purgatory)
- Keeps unauthorized events for natural expiry (30 min)
- Enables retroactive authorization when announcements arrive late
3. Purgatory sync authorization (src/git/sync.rs):
- Check authorization BEFORE processing git data
- Remove unauthorized events from purgatory (permanent rejection)
- Prevents processing even if git data arrives first
- Structured logging for monitoring
4. Rejected events tracking (src/sync/rejected_index.rs):
- Add support for tracking rejected state events
- New methods: add_state(), contains_state()
- Separate metrics for state rejections
- Enables sync to avoid re-fetching rejected states
5. Sync metrics (src/sync/metrics.rs, src/sync/mod.rs):
- Add state-specific metrics (hot cache, cold index)
- Track rejected states separately from announcements
- Support monitoring of authorization rejections
6. Comprehensive tests (tests/state_authorization.rs):
- test_reject_state_without_announcement
- test_reject_state_from_unauthorized_author
- test_accept_state_from_announcement_author
- test_accept_state_from_maintainer
Security Impact:
- Before: State events could be published by anyone
- After: Only maintainers can publish state events
- Defense-in-depth: Authorization checked at 3 points:
1. On arrival (StatePolicy)
2. On announcement acceptance (purgatory re-evaluation)
3. On git data arrival (purgatory sync)
All tests pass:
- 248 unit tests
- 51 NIP-34 announcement tests
- 4 new state authorization tests
- 9 rejected index tests
Closes: State authorization requirement from GRASP-01 spec

Add automatic cleanup and Prometheus metrics for the two-tier rejected
events index that caches rejected announcements for re-processing.
Cleanup loops:
- Hot cache: Every 60 seconds (events expire after 2 minutes)
- Cold index: Every 24 hours (metadata expires after 7 days)
- Background task with graceful shutdown support
New Prometheus metrics (7):
- Gauges: hot_cache_current, cold_index_current
- Counters: hits, misses, hot_expired, cold_expired, invalidated
This completes the maintainer announcement re-processing feature,
reducing wait time from 24 hours to <1 second when a maintainer's
announcement arrives before the repository owner's announcement.
Memory is bounded through automatic cleanup, and comprehensive metrics
enable monitoring of hit rates, memory usage, and cleanup effectiveness.
Changes:
- src/sync/metrics.rs: Added 7 metrics with recording methods
- src/sync/rejected_index.rs: Added optional metrics support
- src/sync/mod.rs: Added cleanup background task
Tests: 248 library tests passing, 3 integration tests passing

- Add two-tier rejected events index (hot cache + cold index)
- Hot cache: 2-minute in-memory storage of full rejected events
- Cold index: 7-day metadata storage for deduplication
- Immediate re-processing when owner announcements list maintainers
- Fix rejection reason detection to match actual error messages
- Rewrite integration tests to use two-relay sync pattern
- All tests passing (3 passed, 1 ignored slow test)

Replaces the simple HashSet<EventId> with the sophisticated two-tier
RejectedEventsIndex from PR1, enabling future immediate re-processing
when maintainer dependencies resolve.
## Changes
### Config (src/config.rs)
- Add `rejected_hot_cache_duration_secs` (default: 120 = 2 minutes)
- Add `rejected_cold_index_expiry_secs` (default: 604800 = 7 days)
- Both configurable via CLI flags or environment variables
### SyncManager (src/sync/mod.rs)
**Type Change:**
- Before: `Arc<RwLock<HashSet<EventId>>>` (simple event ID set)
- After: `Arc<RejectedEventsIndex>` (two-tier storage)
**Initialization:**
- Pass config durations to RejectedEventsIndex::new()
- Creates hot cache (2 min) + cold index (7 days)
**Event Processing (process_event_static):**
- Extract identifier from 'd' tag
- Determine rejection reason from error message
- Call `add_announcement()` with full event + metadata
- Stores in both hot cache and cold index
**Negentropy Sync (derive_relay_targets):**
- Call `get_all_event_ids()` to get rejected IDs
- Returns union of hot cache + cold index event IDs
- Excludes from negentropy reconciliation
**Event Loop (relay_connection):**
- Use `contains()` method instead of direct HashSet access
- Simpler API, same skip-rejected behavior
### RejectedEventsIndex (src/sync/rejected_index.rs)
**New Method:**
- `get_all_event_ids()`: Returns HashSet<EventId> from both tiers
- Used for negentropy exclusion (replaces direct HashSet access)
### Tests Updated
**test_rejected_events_index_tracks_announcements:**
- Create RejectedEventsIndex with config durations
- Add 'd' tag to test announcement
- Use `add_announcement()` with full event
- Verify both hot cache and cold index populated
- Check lengths with `hot_cache_len()` and `cold_index_len()`
**test_rejected_events_excluded_from_negentropy:**
- Create RejectedEventsIndex instead of HashSet
- Build full event with 'd' tag
- Add to index with `add_announcement()`
- Get IDs with `get_all_event_ids()`
- Verify excluded from reconciliation
## Architecture
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SyncManager │
│ │
│ rejected_events_index: Arc<RejectedEventsIndex> │
│ ├─ Hot Cache (2 min): Full events for re-processing │
│ └─ Cold Index (7 days): Metadata for dedup │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│

│ get_all_event_ids() → HashSet<EventId> │
│ ├─ Union of hot cache IDs │
│ └─ Union of cold index IDs │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Benefits
### Immediate
- **Better tracking**: Store rejection reason + metadata
- **Configurable**: Tune cache/index durations per deployment
- **Observable**: Separate hot/cold metrics (future PR4)
### Future (PR3)
- **Immediate re-processing**: Get events from hot cache when valid
- **No 24h delay**: Maintainer announcements accepted in <1 second
- **Automatic recovery**: Hot cache for immediate, cold index for later
## Backward Compatibility
**No breaking changes:**
- Same rejection behavior (skip events in index)
- Same negentropy exclusion (union with purgatory IDs)
- Default config values match previous implicit behavior
**Migration:**
- Existing deployments continue working with defaults
- Optional: Tune durations via new config flags
## Testing
All tests passing:
- ✅ 9 rejected_index tests (hot cache, cold index, two-tier)
- ✅ 139 sync module tests (including updated integration tests)
- ✅ 247 total library tests
## Next Steps
**PR3: Add invalidation + immediate re-processing**
- Invalidate cold index when owner announcement accepted
- Get events from hot cache for re-processing
- Recursive call to process_event_static
- Integration tests for <1s maintainer acceptance
**PR4: Add cleanup + metrics**
- Hot cache cleanup task (every 60s)
- Cold index cleanup task (daily)
- Prometheus metrics for both tiers
- Monitor hot cache hits vs misses
## Configuration Examples
```bash
# Default (2 min hot cache, 7 day cold index)
ngit-grasp
# Longer hot cache for slow relays
ngit-grasp --rejected-hot-cache-duration-secs 300
# Shorter cold index for memory-constrained systems
ngit-grasp --rejected-cold-index-expiry-secs 86400
# Environment variables
export NGIT_REJECTED_HOT_CACHE_DURATION_SECS=180
export NGIT_REJECTED_COLD_INDEX_EXPIRY_SECS=259200
ngit-grasp

Implements a sophisticated two-tier storage system for rejected repository
announcements to enable immediate re-processing when dependencies resolve.
## Architecture
**Tier 1: Hot Cache (2 minutes)**
- Stores full event objects for immediate re-processing
- Enables <1 second re-processing vs 24 hour wait
- Auto-expires to prevent memory growth
- Memory: ~200 KB typical, ~20 MB worst case
**Tier 2: Cold Index (7 days)**
- Stores metadata only (event_id, pubkey, identifier)
- Prevents repeated downloads of rejected events
- Enables invalidation when circumstances change
- Memory: ~1 MB typical
## Problem Solved
Without this system, maintainer announcements face a timing gap:
00:00 - Maintainer announcement rejected → Event discarded
00:02 - Owner announcement accepted (lists maintainer) → Want to re-process
00:02 - ❌ Maintainer announcement GONE → Must wait 24h for next sync
With two-tier system:
00:00 - Maintainer announcement rejected → Stored in both tiers
00:02 - Owner announcement accepted → Invalidate + get from hot cache
00:02 - ✅ Re-process immediately → Accepted in <1 second
## Implementation
New module: src/sync/rejected_index.rs
- RejectedEventsIndex: Public API combining both tiers
- HotCache: Internal struct for full event storage
- ColdIndex: Internal struct for metadata storage
- RejectionReason: Enum for tracking why events were rejected
Key methods:
- add_announcement(): Add to both tiers
- contains(): Check if event is rejected
- invalidate_and_get_events(): Remove from cold index, get from hot cache
- cleanup_expired(): Remove expired entries from both tiers
## Testing
9 comprehensive unit tests covering:
- Hot cache storage and retrieval
- Hot cache expiration
- Cold index metadata tracking
- Cold index invalidation
- Two-tier integration
- Cleanup of expired entries
- Hot cache misses after expiry
- Multiple maintainer repositories
All tests passing.
## Next Steps
PR2: Switch SyncManager to use new RejectedEventsIndex
PR3: Add invalidation + immediate re-processing logic
PR4: Add cleanup task + Prometheus metrics

- Fix relay_connected() helper to check v >= 2 (Syncing/Connected states)
- Fix unit test to use status value 3 (Connected) instead of 1 (Connecting)
- Fix clippy warning: use .to_vec() instead of .iter().cloned().collect()
All 61 sync integration tests now passing.
All 238 unit tests passing.
Clippy clean.

Resolves naming conflict with RelayHealthState::Degraded by using a more
explicit name that clearly indicates the connection status relates to
historic sync failures, not connection health degradation.
Changes:
- ConnectionStatus::ConnectedDegraded → ConnectedHistoricSyncFailures
- Updated all documentation and comments
- Updated Prometheus metric descriptions
- Metric value remains 4 for backward compatibility
This makes it clear that:
- ConnectedHistoricSyncFailures = connection lifecycle (missing historic data)
- RelayHealthState::Degraded = connection health (reliability issues)
These are orthogonal concerns - a relay can be ConnectedHistoricSyncFailures
but Healthy, or Connected but Degraded.
|
|
- Add ConnectionStatus::ConnectedDegraded (status=4 in metrics)
- Track batch failures via PendingBatch.failed field
- Track relay-level failures via RelayState.historic_sync_had_failures
- Transition to ConnectedDegraded when any batch fails during historic sync
- Add is_live_sync_active() helper for cleaner match patterns
- Update state machine diagram with ConnectedDegraded transitions
- Update metrics docs with status=4 and example queries
Fixes issue where relays with failed negentropy retries would
incorrectly transition to Connected status despite missing data.
Now operators can distinguish 'fully synced' vs 'degraded (partial data)'.
|
|
- Add ConnectionStatus::Syncing state between Connecting and Connected
- Track historic_sync_completed and historic_sync_completed_at in RelayState
- Auto-detect sync completion via check_and_complete_historic_sync()
- Update metrics: ngit_sync_relay_connected now shows 0-3 (disconnected/connecting/syncing/connected)
- Update Prometheus metric documentation with new status values
- Add state machine diagram showing Syncing transition
- Operators can now distinguish 'connected but catching up' vs 'fully synced'
|
|
Add retry protection to negentropy event validation:
- Track retry_count in PendingBatch (incremented on each retry attempt)
- Detect when retry makes zero progress (relay returns no requested events)
- Abort retry and complete batch with partial results when stuck
- Log error with full details when retry protection triggers
This prevents infinite loops when:
- Relay has bugs and returns wrong events for ID queries
- Relay is malicious and returns unrelated events
- Relay has eventual consistency issues
- Network corruption causes incorrect responses
The protection triggers when received_count == 0 on a retry (relay
returned nothing we asked for), indicating the relay will never
provide the missing events.
Future work: Track failed batches in Prometheus metrics
(sync_failed_batches_total) for monitoring and alerting.
|
|
Add validation that all events requested by ID during negentropy sync
are actually received from the relay. When events are missing:
- Log detailed information (requested/received/missing counts and IDs)
- Create retry subscriptions for missing events (chunked by 300)
- Update batch to track only missing events in next round
- Only complete batch after all events received or retry fails
This handles relays that have limits on ID-based queries (e.g., max 150
events per query) by automatically retrying in smaller chunks.
Also excludes purgatory and rejected announcement events from negentropy
requests to avoid re-requesting events we know we can't/won't store.
Note: Current implementation lacks retry limit - infinite loop protection
needed (tracked as future work).
|
|
Implement RejectedEventsIndex to prevent repeatedly fetching and
processing announcement events (kinds 30617/30618) that have been
rejected by the write policy.
Changes:
- Add RejectedEventsIndex to track rejected announcement EventIds
- Record rejections in process_event_static when announcements fail
write policy validation
- Exclude rejected events from negentropy sync (along with purgatory)
- Skip rejected events early in REQ+EOSE processing
- Add 2 tests verifying tracking and exclusion logic
Benefits:
- Reduced network traffic (no re-fetching of known-bad events)
- Lower CPU usage (no repeated validation)
- Faster sync (smaller negentropy diffs)
- Better observability (trace logging when skipping)
Scope limited to announcements as they are the primary source of
repeated rejection cycles during Layer 1 sync.
Closes: Reduces wasted bandwidth from continually fetching rejected events

Replace the owner-npub configuration option with relay-owner-nsec to provide
a persistent cryptographic identity for the relay operator. This addresses
NIP-42 authentication requirements discovered during sync debugging.
Motivation:
- Some relays (e.g., relay.damus.io) require NIP-42 authentication for
advanced features like NIP-77 negentropy sync
- Previously used random ephemeral keys per connection, providing no
persistent identity
- Other relays can now recognize us by pubkey for reputation-based rate
limiting
- Ensures consistency between NIP-11 pubkey and authentication key
Changes:
- Config: relay_owner_nsec with auto-load/generate from .relay-owner.nsec
- NIP-11: Pubkey derived from nsec instead of separate npub field
- Sync: RelayConnection now uses operator keys for NIP-42 auth
- Docs: Updated README, .env.example, and added .relay-owner.nsec to gitignore
Key Features:
- Auto-generates key on first run and saves to .relay-owner.nsec
- Loads existing key from file on subsequent runs
- Can override via CLI flag or environment variable
- Enables reputation building across relay network
- Future-ready for event signing and WoT calculations
Testing:
- 225/232 tests passing (7 pre-existing purgatory failures unrelated)
- Verified key generation, loading, and NIP-11 derivation
- Release build successful

Implements Phase 3 of the purgatory sync integration test plan.
Key changes:
- Add immediate sync triggering for sync-received events that go to
purgatory (instead of default 3-minute delay for user-submitted events)
- TestRelay now respects RUST_LOG environment variable for debugging
- New test verifies end-to-end flow: state event syncs from source relay,
enters purgatory, git data is fetched from source's clone URL, and
event is released and served
|
|
|
|
don't save new events destined for purgatory events directly to db
or serve on websockets
don't download events already in purgatory via negentropy sync
|
|
|
|
so we can more easily support grasp purgatory feature

Add automatic pagination support for non-Negentropy historic sync to handle
large result sets efficiently. When a subscription receives >= 75 events,
the system automatically fetches the next page using the 'until' parameter.
Changes:
- Add PaginationState struct to track event counts and min timestamps
- Add pagination_state HashMap to PendingBatch for per-subscription tracking
- Add PAGINATION_THRESHOLD constant (75 events)
- Pass pending_sync_index to event processor for state updates
- Track events and timestamps as they arrive
- Check threshold on EOSE and launch follow-up subscriptions
- Initialize pagination state when creating historic sync subscriptions
- Update test fixtures in algorithms.rs
The pagination continues recursively until a page returns fewer than 75 events,
ensuring complete historic data retrieval without overwhelming relay limits.
|
|
Replace broken event counting that occurred before duplicate/policy checks
with accurate tracking of events that are new, accepted, and saved.
Changes:
- Added ProcessResult enum to track event processing outcomes
- Modified process_event_static() to return ProcessResult
- Replaced events_total (with source labels) with events_synced_total
- Removed gap_events_total and event_source module
- Removed eose_received flag (EOSE is per-subscription, not suitable)
- Updated all tests to use new simplified API
The new ngit_sync_events_synced_total metric only counts events that:
1. Are new (not duplicates)
2. Pass write policy validation
3. Are successfully saved to database
All 165 tests pass (124 lib + 41 integration)

Separated connection from subscription logic. The RelayConnection.connect()
method now only handles WebSocket connection establishment. Subscriptions
are managed separately via handle_connect_or_reconnect.
Changes:
- Renamed RelayConnection::connect_and_subscribe() to connect()
- Removed subscription logic from connect method
- Updated call site in try_connect_relay()
- Removed unused build_announcement_filter import

Bug: handle_connect_or_reconnect() was incorrectly calling quick_reconnect()
on first connections instead of fresh_start().
Root cause: The code updated last_connected = Some(now) at line 808, then
immediately read it back at line 932 to make the reconnection decision.
This meant first connections saw elapsed = now - now = 0 seconds, which
triggered quick_reconnect() instead of fresh_start().
Fix: Capture old_last_connected BEFORE updating the state, then use that
value for the reconnection decision. Now first connections correctly see
None and call fresh_start().
Impact:
- First connections now properly use fresh_start() with full historic sync
- Short disconnections (< 15 min) use quick_reconnect() with since filter
- Long disconnections (> 15 min) use fresh_start() with full resync
All 41 sync tests passing.
|
|
The system was incorrectly treating subscription-specific CLOSED messages
as connection-wide disconnects, causing live subscriptions to be terminated
immediately after historic_sync completed.
Two bugs fixed:
1. relay_connection.rs: Removed break on RelayMessage::Closed - it's
subscription-specific, not connection-wide
2. mod.rs: Removed disconnect handling for RelayEvent::Closed - only log
at DEBUG level and continue
All 41 sync tests now pass including previously failing live sync tests.

The log message claimed 'will fall back to REQ+EOSE' but no such
fallback was implemented - the function simply returns 0 and exits.
|

When negentropy (NIP-77) sync was enabled, the RelaySyncIndex was never
updated to reflect historical sync completion. This caused the three-way
diff algorithm in compute_actions() to malfunction, leading to:
- Repeated sync attempts for the same items
- Incorrect filter counting for consolidation
- Potential premature relay disconnection
This fix unifies both sync paths (REQ+EOSE and Negentropy) through a
consistent PendingBatch flow:
1. Added SyncMethod enum to distinguish between sync types
2. Updated PendingBatch struct to include sync_method field
3. Extracted confirm_batch() method for unified batch confirmation
4. Modified negentropy_sync_and_process() to:
- Create a PendingBatch before sync
- Add batch to pending_sync_index
- On success: Remove batch and call confirm_batch()
- On failure: Remove batch without confirming
The confirm_batch() method moves repos and root_events from the batch
to the RelayState.repos and RelayState.root_events, ensuring the
three-way diff works correctly regardless of sync method.

Main lib (src/):
- Add #[allow(dead_code)] for build_info field (stored to prevent Prometheus unregistration)
- Add #[allow(dead_code)] for first_seen field (reserved for future rate limiting)
- Replace .or_insert_with(RelaySyncNeeds::default) with .or_default()
- Replace manual div_ceil implementations with .div_ceil(100)
Test code (tests/):
- Replace .expect(&format!(...)) with .unwrap_or_else(|_| panic!(...))
- Remove needless borrows in fetch_metrics() calls
- Add #[allow(dead_code)] and #[allow(unused_imports)] to test helpers module
grasp-audit:
- Apply cargo fmt to fix formatting

Replace EOSE-based sync completion with negentropy reconciliation for:
- Initial connect (fresh sync)
- Daily sync (Layer 1 announcements)
- Stale reconnect (>15 min)
Key changes:
- Add NegentropySyncResult struct with remote_only, local_only, received fields
- Add supports_negentropy() using try-and-fallback approach
- Add negentropy_sync_filter() using nostr-sdk client.sync() API
- Modify handle_connect_or_reconnect() to use negentropy for fresh/stale sync
- Modify daily_sync() to use negentropy for Layer 1
- Single-warning logging per relay when negentropy fails
Quick reconnects (<15 min) unchanged - still use REQ with since filter.
If negentropy unsupported, gracefully falls back to REQ+EOSE flow.

- Add Layer 1 (announcements) re-subscription in daily_sync() after
unsubscribe_all() to ensure kinds 30617+30618 are re-established
- Clarify comments in handle_connect_or_reconnect() explaining that
Layer 1 subscription is established during connect_and_subscribe()
Addresses implementation gaps from design vs implementation report:
- Gap 1: Comments clarified (Layer 1 handled by connect_and_subscribe)
- Gap 2: daily_sync() now re-subscribes to Layer 1 without since filter
- Gap 3: consolidate() already had Layer 1 re-subscription (no change)
All 125 unit tests and integration tests pass.

Previously, events were classified as 'startup' or 'live' based on whether
they came from a bootstrap relay (is_bootstrap flag). This meant ALL events
from bootstrap relays were counted as 'startup', even events received after
the initial sync completed.
Now events are classified based on whether EOSE (End Of Stored Events) has
been received for that connection:
- Events BEFORE EOSE → 'startup' (historical events during initial sync)
- Events AFTER EOSE → 'live' (new events via real-time subscription)
This enables the test_live_sync_event_count test which validates that events
received after sync connection is established are counted as live events.
Also removed the #[ignore] attribute from test_live_sync_event_count since
the metrics are now properly wired up.

- Add periodic health check in RelayConnection::run_event_loop that polls
nostr-sdk's relay.is_connected() every second to detect dead connections
- When event channel closes without explicit Closed/Shutdown, send
DisconnectNotification to SyncManager (fixes case where TCP drops silently)
- Enable test_relay_connected_status test which validates the
ngit_sync_relay_connected metric correctly reflects connection state
The issue was that when a remote relay stops abruptly, nostr-sdk's
notification receiver blocks indefinitely waiting for data. TCP disconnect
detection without keepalive can take minutes. The health check polls
nostr-sdk's internal relay status which detects disconnection promptly.

Root cause: Both Metrics::new() and SyncManager::new() were trying to register
SyncMetrics with the same Prometheus registry. The second registration failed
silently, leaving SyncManager.metrics = None, so record_connection_attempt()
calls were no-ops.
Changes:
- SyncManager::new() now accepts Option<SyncMetrics> instead of Option<&Registry>
- main.rs passes already-registered sync metrics from Metrics to SyncManager
- Simplified test_connection_failure_increments_counter assertion
- Marked 3 tests as #[ignore] pending relay tracking metrics wiring
Tests fixed:
- test_connection_failure_increments_counter (now counts failures)
- test_health_state_degrades_on_failure (now tracks health state)
- test_live_sync_layer3_events (already working, confirmed)
Tests ignored (future work):
- test_live_sync_event_count
- test_multi_source_aggregate_counts
- test_relay_connected_status

Changes:
- Fix connection attempt metrics: record success/failure based on actual
connection result instead of pre-emptively recording failure
- Add health tracker integration on connection failure: call
record_failure() and record_health_state() in error path
- Add connection verification in relay_connection.rs: wait 500ms after
connect() then verify is_connected() to detect silent failures
- Add configurable disconnect check interval via
NGIT_SYNC_DISCONNECT_CHECK_INTERVAL_SECS env var
- Update TestRelay with fast test settings: startup_delay=0, jitter=0,
disconnect_check_interval=1s
- Add debug output to metrics tests for investigation
Note: Tests may still fail due to 5-second base backoff in health tracker.
A follow-up task will add NGIT_SYNC_BASE_BACKOFF_SECS config parameter
to allow faster test cycles.

Enable recursive relay discovery by broadcasting synced events to
WebSocket subscribers via LocalRelay.notify_event(). This allows the
SelfSubscriber to receive 30617 announcements synced from external
relays and discover additional relay URLs to connect to.
Changes:
- Pass LocalRelay to SyncManager::new() from main.rs
- Add local_relay field to SyncManager struct
- Call notify_event() after saving synced events to database
- Enable test_recursive_relay_discovery_syncs_announcement test
The test verifies that when relay_a syncs announcement_x from bootstrap
relay_b (which lists relay_c), relay_a discovers and connects to
relay_c to sync announcement_y.
Fixes recursive relay discovery from bootstrap sync.
