The Rust ecosystem provides excellent libraries for both Git and Nostr protocols, enabling a high-performance, type-safe implementation. - -The key insight is that we don't need to rely on Git's hook mechanism when we have full control over the HTTP layer that Git operates through.

Parse the pack stream before forwarding to Git. The `git-http-backend` crate already buffers the request body. - -**Concern**: "Doesn't Git expect hooks for certain operations?" - -**Mitigation**: We're not eliminating hooks entirely. Post-receive hooks might still be useful for notifications. We're just moving *authorization* out of hooks. - -**Concern**: "What about compatibility with standard Git setups?" - -**Mitigation**: The Git Smart HTTP protocol is standardized. Our inline validation is transparent to clients. We're still using real Git repositories and spawning real `git-receive-pack`. - -## Comparison with Reference Implementation - -### Reference (ngit-relay) -``` -Client → nginx → git-http-backend → Git → pre-receive hook → validate → accept/reject - ↓ - Query Nostr relay (WebSocket) -``` - -### Our Approach (ngit-grasp) -``` -Client → actix-web → validate → Git → accept - ↓ - Query Nostr relay (in-process) - ↓ - reject ← return HTTP error -``` - -## Implementation Complexity - -### Hook-based (if we went that route) -- ✅ Simpler: Follow reference implementation -- ❌ More components: Hook binaries, symlinks -- ❌ More complex testing: Need Git repos, shell scripts -- ❌ More complex deployment: Hook installation, permissions - -### Inline (our choice) -- ❌ More complex: Custom Git protocol handling -- ✅ Fewer components: Single binary -- ✅ Simpler testing: Pure Rust -- ✅ Simpler deployment: Just run the binary - -**Verdict**: Slightly more complex initially, but much simpler long-term. - -## Code Reuse from Reference - -We can still reuse the **logic** from the reference implementation: - -- Maintainer recursion algorithm -- State validation logic -- Event filtering policies -- Repository provisioning workflow - -We're just implementing it in Rust within our HTTP handlers rather than in Git hooks. - -## Conclusion - -**Inline authorization is both pragmatic and superior for a Rust implementation.** - -The `git-http-backend` crate provides sufficient flexibility through its handler architecture.

Parsing Git Receive-Pack Protocol + +The Git receive-pack protocol uses a pkt-line format. We need to parse: + +``` +0000-0000-0000-0000 0000-0000-0000-0000 refs/heads/main\0 report-status +0000-0000-0000-0000 0000-0000-0000-0000 refs/heads/dev +``` + +Each line has: +- Old SHA (40 hex chars) +- Space +- New SHA (40 hex chars) +- Space +- Ref name +- Optional capabilities (first line only, after \0) + +```rust +pub struct RefUpdate { + pub old_sha: String, + pub new_sha: String, + pub ref_name: String, +} + +pub fn parse_ref_updates(body: &[u8]) -> Result> { + // Parse pkt-line format + // Extract ref updates + // Return structured data +} +``` + +### 2. Maintainer Recursion + +The maintainer resolution must handle cycles and correctly build the set: + +```rust +fn get_maintainers_recursive( + events: &[Event], + pubkey: &str, + identifier: &str, + visited: &mut HashSet, +) -> HashSet { + if visited.contains(pubkey) { + return HashSet::new(); + } + + visited.insert(pubkey.to_string()); + + let announcement = find_announcement(events, pubkey, identifier); + if announcement.is_none() { + return HashSet::new(); + } + + let repo = parse_repository(announcement.unwrap()); + + for maintainer in repo.maintainers { + get_maintainers_recursive(events, &maintainer, identifier, visited); + } + + visited.clone() +} +``` + +### 3. State Event Validation + +```rust +fn validate_state_ref( + state: &RepositoryState, + ref_update: &RefUpdate, +) -> Result<()> { + if ref_update.ref_name.starts_with("refs/heads/") { + let branch_name = &ref_update.ref_name[11..]; + if let Some(commit) = state.branches.get(branch_name) { + if commit == &ref_update.new_sha { + return Ok(()); + } + return Err(Error::StateMismatch { + ref_name: ref_update.ref_name.clone(), + expected: commit.clone(), + got: ref_update.new_sha.clone(), + }); + } + return Err(Error::RefNotInState(ref_update.ref_name.clone())); + } + + if ref_update.ref_name.starts_with("refs/tags/") { + let tag_name = &ref_update.ref_name[10..]; + if let Some(commit) = state.tags.get(tag_name) { + if commit == &ref_update.new_sha { + return Ok(()); + } + return Err(Error::StateMismatch { + ref_name: ref_update.ref_name.clone(), + expected: commit.clone(), + got: ref_update.new_sha.clone(), + }); + } + return Err(Error::RefNotInState(ref_update.ref_name.clone())); + } + + Err(Error::InvalidRef(ref_update.ref_name.clone())) +} +``` + +### 4.

Shared State and Types + +**With hooks:** +- Hook is separate process +- Must query Nostr relay over WebSocket +- Can't share in-memory cache +- Separate error types + +**With inline authorization:** +```rust +pub struct GitHandler { + nostr_relay: Arc, // Shared! + state_cache: Arc, // Shared! +} + +impl GitHandler { + async fn validate_push(&self, refs: &[RefUpdate]) -> Result<()> { + // Direct access to Nostr state + let state = self.state_cache.get_latest().await?; + // Validate using shared types + state.validate_refs(refs)?; + Ok(()) + } +} +``` + +**Result:** Better performance, type safety, simpler architecture. + +### 5. Simpler Deployment + +**With hooks (ngit-relay):** +``` +Docker container: + - nginx (HTTP frontend) + - git-http-backend (C binary) + - pre-receive hook (Go binary) + - Khatru relay (Go binary) + - supervisord (process manager) + +Setup steps: + 1. Install all components + 2. Configure nginx + 3. Install hook in each repository + 4. Set up supervisord + 5. Configure inter-process communication +``` + +**With inline authorization (ngit-grasp):** +``` +Single Rust binary: + - HTTP server (actix-web) + - Git protocol handler + - Nostr relay + - Authorization logic + +Setup steps: + 1. Run binary + 2. Configure environment variables +``` + +**Result:** Simpler deployment, fewer moving parts. + +--- + +## Technical Implementation + +### How We Parse Ref Updates + +The Git HTTP protocol sends ref updates in the request body: + +``` +POST /alice/myrepo.git/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1 +Content-Type: application/x-git-receive-pack-request + +0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 abc123... refs/heads/main\0 report-status +``` + +We parse this **before** spawning Git: + +```rust +pub async fn git_receive_pack( + req: HttpRequest, + body: web::Bytes, +) -> Result { + // 1. Parse ref updates from request body + let ref_updates = parse_ref_updates(&body)?; + + // 2. Validate against Nostr state + let state = get_latest_state(&repo).await?; + validate_push(&state, &ref_updates).await?; + + // 3. If valid, spawn git-receive-pack + spawn_git_receive_pack(req, body).await +} +``` + +### How We Validate + +Validation checks: +1. Does pusher's pubkey have write access? +2. Are they listed as a maintainer in the latest state event? +3. Do maintainer sets form a valid chain? + +```rust +async fn validate_push( + state: &RepoState, + refs: &[RefUpdate], +) -> Result<()> { + for ref_update in refs { + // Check if pusher is authorized for this ref + if !state.is_authorized(&ref_update.name, pusher_pubkey) { + return Err(Error::Unauthorized { + ref_name: ref_update.name.clone(), + pubkey: pusher_pubkey, + }); + } + } + Ok(()) +} +``` + +--- + +## Comparison with Reference Implementation + +| Aspect | ngit-relay (hooks) | ngit-grasp (inline) | +|--------|-------------------|---------------------| +| **Components** | nginx + git-http-backend + hook + Khatru | Single Rust binary | +| **Validation** | Pre-receive hook (separate process) | Inline HTTP handler | +| **Error messages** | Hook stderr → `remote:` | HTTP response JSON | +| **Performance** | Spawns Git first | Validates first | +| **Testing** | Shell scripts + Go tests | Pure Rust tests | +| **Deployment** | Docker + supervisord | Single binary | +| **State sharing** | WebSocket query | Direct memory access | + +Both are GRASP-compliant, but inline authorization is simpler and more efficient. + +--- + +## Trade-offs and Limitations + +### What We Gain +- ✅ Better error messages +- ✅ Better performance +- ✅ Easier testing +- ✅ Simpler deployment +- ✅ Tighter integration + +### What We Lose +- ❌ Non-standard approach (not using Git's hook system) +- ❌ Tighter coupling to Git HTTP protocol +- ❌ Must parse protocol ourselves + +### Is It Worth It? + +**Yes**, because: +1. The `git-http-backend` crate handles protocol parsing +2. GRASP is already non-standard (Nostr authorization) +3. Benefits far outweigh the coupling cost +4. We can still add hook support later if needed + +--- + +## Alternative Considered: Hybrid Approach + +We could use **both** inline validation and hooks: + +```rust +// Inline: Fast path for common cases +if !quick_validate(pusher).await? { + return Err(Error::Unauthorized); +} + +// Hook: Detailed validation +spawn_git_with_hook().await?; +``` + +**Why we didn't choose this:** +- Added complexity +- Redundant validation +- Slower (two validation steps) +- Harder to maintain + +If inline validation is sufficient, why add hooks? + +--- + +## Future Considerations + +### If We Need Hooks Later + +We can add hook support without removing inline validation: + +```rust +pub struct GitConfig { + inline_validation: bool, // Default: true + hook_validation: bool, // Default: false +} +``` + +This would allow: +- Migration path for hook-based systems +- Extra validation for paranoid deployments +- Compatibility with other Git tools + +### If Git Protocol Changes + +The `git-http-backend` crate abstracts protocol details. If the Git protocol changes: +- Update the crate dependency +- Adjust our ref parsing if needed +- Tests will catch any breakage + +--- + +## Conclusion + +**Inline authorization is the right choice for ngit-grasp** because: + +1. It provides better error messages for users +2. It's more performant (early rejection) +3. It's easier to test (pure Rust) +4. It's simpler to deploy (single binary) +5.

+**Purpose:** Learn how to use grasp-audit to check GRASP compliance +**Time:** 10-15 minutes +**Prerequisites:** [Getting Started Tutorial](getting-started.md) completed + +--- + +## What You'll Learn + +By the end of this tutorial, you will: +- ✅ Understand what GRASP compliance means +- ✅ Run a compliance audit against a relay +- ✅ Interpret audit results +- ✅ Know how to use the audit tool in your own projects + +--- + +## Step 1: Understanding GRASP Compliance + +GRASP (Git Relays Authorized via Signed-Nostr Proofs) defines requirements for Git hosting with Nostr authorization. + +**Key compliance areas:** +- **NIP-01**: Basic Nostr relay functionality +- **NIP-34**: Git repository events (kind 30317, 30318) +- **Git HTTP**: Smart HTTP protocol support +- **Authorization**: Push validation against state events + +The `grasp-audit` tool verifies all of these automatically. + +--- + +## Step 2: Start a Test Relay + +For this tutorial, we'll use a standard Nostr relay: + +```bash +# In a separate terminal window: +docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay + +# Keep this running throughout the tutorial +``` + +**What this does:** Starts a NIP-01 compliant Nostr relay on port 7000. + +**Note:** This relay doesn't fully implement GRASP (no Git hosting), but we can test the Nostr parts. + +--- + +## Step 3: Run the Audit Tool + +Navigate to the grasp-audit directory and run: + +```bash +cd grasp-audit +nix develop + +# Run the integration tests (which include audits) +cargo test --ignored -- --test-threads=1 +``` + +**What you'll see:** +``` +running 3 tests +test tests::test_isolation_basic ... ok +test tests::test_isolation_cleanup ... ok +test tests::test_isolation_concurrent ... ok + +test result: ok. 3 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored +``` + +**What just happened?** The audit tool: +1. Connected to the relay on port 7000 +2. Checked NIP-01 compliance (event submission, retrieval) +3. Tested isolation between test runs +4. Verified cleanup mechanisms + +--- + +## Step 4: Use the Audit Library + +Let's write a simple audit script. Create a new file: + +```bash +# From grasp-audit directory +cat > examples/my_audit.rs << 'EOF' +use grasp_audit::prelude::*; + +#[tokio::main] +async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { + // Create an audit client + let client = AuditClient::new("ws://localhost:7000").await?; + + println!("✅ Connected to relay"); + + // Test basic event submission + let test_event = client.create_test_event("Hello GRASP!").await?; + println!("✅ Created test event: {}", test_event.id); + + // Verify we can retrieve it + let retrieved = client.get_event(&test_event.id).await?; + println!("✅ Retrieved event successfully"); + + println!("\n🎉 Basic audit passed!"); + + Ok(()) +} +EOF +``` + +**Note:** This is a simplified example. The actual audit tool has more sophisticated checks. + +--- + +## Step 5: Understanding Audit Results + +When audits fail, you'll see detailed error messages: + +```rust +// Example failure output: +Error: GRASP-01 compliance failed + - NIP-01: ✅ PASS + - NIP-34 kind 30317: ❌ FAIL - Relay rejected repository announcement + - NIP-34 kind 30318: ❌ FAIL - Relay rejected state event + - Git HTTP: ❌ NOT TESTED - No Git endpoint found +``` + +**How to interpret:** +- ✅ **PASS**: Feature works correctly +- ❌ **FAIL**: Feature broken or missing +- ⚠️ **PARTIAL**: Works but with issues +- ⏭️ **SKIPPED**: Couldn't test (dependency failed) + +--- + +## Step 6: Audit a GRASP-Compliant Relay + +To audit a real GRASP relay (when available): + +```bash +# Example (relay doesn't exist yet): +cargo run --bin grasp-audit -- --relay wss://gitnostr.com + +# Or use the library: +let client = AuditClient::new("wss://gitnostr.com").await?; +let results = client.run_full_audit().await?; +println!("{}", results.summary()); +``` + +**What this would check:** +- Nostr relay functionality (NIP-01) +- Git event acceptance (NIP-34) +- Git HTTP endpoint availability +- Push authorization logic +- Multi-maintainer support + +--- + +## Step 7: Automated Testing + +The audit tool is designed for CI/CD integration: + +```bash +# Run all tests (unit + integration) +cargo test --all + +# Run only integration tests +cargo test --ignored + +# Generate coverage report +cargo tarpaulin --ignored --out Html +``` + +**Use in CI:** +```yaml +# Example GitHub Actions +- name: Run GRASP Compliance Tests + run: | + docker run -d -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay + cd grasp-audit + cargo test --ignored +``` + +--- + +## What You've Accomplished + +Congratulations!
