## What Works

### grasp-audit Tool ✅

**Status:** Fully functional, all tests passing

```bash
cd grasp-audit
nix develop
cargo test --lib        # 12/12 unit tests ✅
cargo test -- --ignored # 1/1 integration test ✅
cargo run -- audit --relay ws://localhost:7000 --spec nip01-smoke
# Results: 6/6 passed (100.0%) ✅
```

**Features:**
- ✅ NIP-01 smoke tests (websocket, events, subscriptions)
- ✅ CI and production modes
- ✅ Test isolation via unique run IDs
- ✅ Standard "t" tag usage
- ✅ Audit event cleanup strategy
- ✅ CLI interface

**Test Coverage:**
- websocket_connection
- send_receive_event
- create_subscription
- close_subscription
- reject_invalid_signature
- reject_invalid_event_id

---

### Development Environment ✅

**Nix Flakes:**
- ✅ `grasp-audit/flake.nix` - Reproducible builds
- ✅ Rust toolchain via rust-overlay
- ✅ All dependencies managed
- ✅ Cross-platform support

**Usage:**
```bash
cd grasp-audit
nix develop              # Enter dev shell
nix develop -c cargo build  # One-off command
nix build                # Build package
```

## What's Next

### Immediate: NIP-01 Relay Implementation

**Goal:** Build basic Nostr relay that passes grasp-audit tests

**Approach:**
1. Create `src/` directory structure
2. Implement basic NIP-01 relay using nostr-relay-builder
3. Run grasp-audit tests against it
4. Iterate until all tests pass

**Files to Create:**
```
src/
├── main.rs              # Entry point
├── config.rs            # Configuration
├── nostr/
│   ├── mod.rs
│   ├── relay.rs         # NIP-01 relay setup
│   └── events.rs        # Event handling
└── storage/
    ├── mod.rs
    └── repository.rs    # Event storage
```

**Success Criteria:**
```bash
# Start ngit-grasp relay
cargo run

# In another terminal
cd grasp-audit
cargo run -- audit --relay ws://localhost:8080 --spec nip01-smoke
# Results: 6/6 passed (100.0%) ✅
```

---

### Phase 2: GRASP-01 Compliance

**After NIP-01 works:**

1. **Extend grasp-audit**
   - Create `src/specs/grasp_01_relay.rs`
   - Test repository announcements (NIP-34)
   - Test state events
   - Test maintainer validation

2. **Implement in ngit-grasp**
   - NIP-34 event validation
   - Repository state management
   - Maintainer authorization

3. **Iterate**
   - Run GRASP-01 audit tests
   - Fix failures
   - Repeat until passing

---

### Phase 3: Git Integration

**After GRASP-01 compliance:**

1. **Git HTTP Backend**
   - Implement git-smart-http handlers
   - Integrate with authorization

2. **Push Validation**
   - Query Nostr state events
   - Validate push permissions
   - Inline authorization (no hooks)

3. **Full GRASP-01**
   - Complete service requirements
   - End-to-end testing

---

## Development Workflow

### Daily Development

```bash
# For ngit-grasp (when we create it)
cd ngit-grasp
nix develop
cargo build
cargo test
cargo run

# For grasp-audit
cd grasp-audit
nix develop
cargo build
cargo test --lib
cargo test -- --ignored  # Requires relay
cargo run -- audit --relay ws://localhost:8080
```

---

### Running Tests

**Unit Tests (Fast):**
```bash
# grasp-audit
cd grasp-audit
cargo test --lib

# ngit-grasp (when created)
cargo test --lib
```

**Integration Tests (Requires Relay):**
```bash
# Start test relay
docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay

# Run integration tests
cd grasp-audit
cargo test -- --ignored
```

**Audit Tests:**
```bash
# Start your relay
cd ngit-grasp
cargo run

# Run audit in another terminal
cd grasp-audit
cargo run -- audit --relay ws://localhost:8080
```

---

## Key Technologies

### Current Stack

- **Rust**: Core language
- **nostr-sdk 0.43**: Nostr event handling
- **Nix Flakes**: Reproducible dev environment
- **Cargo**: Build system
- **Docker**: Test relay (nostr-rs-relay)

### Planned Stack (ngit-grasp)

- **actix-web**: HTTP server
- **nostr-relay-builder**: Relay infrastructure
- **git-http-backend**: Git protocol handling
- **tokio**: Async runtime

---

## Important Gotchas

### 1. Use Nix Flakes, Not nix-shell

```bash
# ✅ Correct
nix develop

# ❌ Wrong
nix-shell
```

**Why:** We use `flake.nix`, not `shell.nix`

---

### 2. grasp-audit is Separate

```bash
# ✅ Correct
cd grasp-audit
nix develop
cargo build

# ❌ Wrong
cd ngit-grasp
cargo build  # Won't find grasp-audit
```

**Why:** Separate crate with own flake and Cargo.toml

---

### 3. Integration Tests Need Relay

```bash
# ✅ Correct
docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
cargo test -- --ignored

# ❌ Wrong
cargo test -- --ignored  # Will fail without relay
```

---

### 4. nostr-sdk 0.43 API Changes

**Event Building:**
```rust
// ✅ Correct (0.43)
EventBuilder::new(kind, content)
    .tags(tags)
    .sign_with_keys(&keys)?

// ❌ Wrong (0.35)
EventBuilder::new(kind, content, tags)
    .to_event(&keys)?
```
