Five protocol-level fixes and a batch of harness correctness fixes to get
the headless Marmot/Whitenoise interop harness from 1/13 to 5/13 passing
cleanly, with the remaining failures all rooted in wn's per-account
serial event-processor retry backoff (which drops undecryptable
pre-membership commits after several minutes) rather than amy behaviour.
quartz + commons
----------------
* MarmotGroupData: hold CURRENT_VERSION at 2. mdk-core (the Rust MLS
engine used by whitenoise-rs) strict-rejects v3 payloads with
`ExtensionFormatError("Trailing bytes in NostrGroupDataExtension")`
— our v3 welcomes and GCE commits never apply, so every cross-client
group flow dies at welcome processing. We still parse v3 happily on
the way in; we just don't emit it until mdk publishes the
forward-compat fix MIP-01 mandates.
* MarmotManager.updateGroupMetadata: MERGE extensions instead of
REPLACING. RFC 9420 §12.1.7 says GCE proposals blow away the old
extension list; callers that pass only [marmot_group_data] dropped
[required_capabilities], which peers then reject. Preserve every slot
except the one we're updating.
* MarmotManager.createGroup: new optional `initialMetadata` parameter
that bakes MarmotGroupData into epoch-0 GroupContext.extensions
directly. Without it, creators had to publish a pre-membership
"bootstrap" commit that no later joiner could decrypt — each such
peer then burned their retry budget on an undecryptable kind:445
before seeing the real state. Threaded through MlsGroup.create /
MlsGroupManager.createGroup.
* MarmotManager.mlsGroupIdHex: new translation helper so any code
juggling the MIP-01 nostr_group_id (what amy indexes on) and the
MLS GroupContext groupId (what mdk indexes on) can cross-reference
them without reaching into MlsGroupManager directly.
amethyst module
---------------
* Account.leaveMarmotGroup: self-demote before SelfRemove per MIP-01,
and promote a surviving member to admin first if the caller is the
sole admin (otherwise we'd throw "admin depletion"). Matches the
cli/GroupMembershipCommands.leave flow.
cli (amy)
---------
* Context.syncIncoming: don't advance `giftWrapSince` on empty polls
(so the first-ever sync doesn't bump the cursor past every
past-timestamped wrap we've ever been sent), subtract 2 days lookback
when filtering (NIP-59 randomWithTwoDays gift wraps can have any
createdAt in the last 48h), and only advance `groupSince` for groups
we actually received events for.
* Context.syncIncoming: after ingest, if any Welcome consumed a
KeyPackage, rotate and publish a fresh one immediately. MIP-00
requires this — a KP can only be welcomed once and leaving the
consumed one on relays just means later senders invite us with a
bundle we no longer have private keys for.
* Context.resolveGroupId: accept either nostr_group_id (amy's primary
key) or the MLS GroupContext groupId (what wn emits) on every verb
that takes a group id. Wired through GroupAdd/Remove/Leave/Metadata
/Read, Message send/list, and all the await* verbs so harness
scripts never have to juggle both forms for a single group.
* GroupCreateCommand: bake initial metadata into epoch 0 (see the
quartz change above). Dropped the now-redundant bootstrap commit
publish and tightened the JSON output to include `mls_group_id`.
* GroupMembershipCommands.leave: self-demote admin before SelfRemove;
promote an heir if we're the only admin, otherwise the GCE would
deplete admins and the leave aborts.
* MarmotIngest.ingestGiftWrap: unwrap the sealed-rumor layer. NIP-59
wrap is gift-wrap(kind:1059) → seal(kind:13) → rumor; the old code
only unwrapped once and then checked `inner.kind == 444`, which is
always false because inner is actually the seal. Unseal once more
before the Welcome check. This single fix is what unsticks every
amy-side Welcome ingestion.
wn harness patches + scripts
----------------------------
* whitenoise-defaults-env.patch: honour $WHITENOISE_DISCOVERY_RELAYS in
`Relay::defaults()` (release builds otherwise bake damus.io / primal
/ nos.lol into every new account's NIP-65 / Inbox / KeyPackage
lists, which breaks publishing and prevents the inbox subscription
plane from ever reaching an operational state in a sandbox).
* setup.sh: sleep 2s after amy's initial kind:30443 publish so
nostr-rs-relay has a chance to fsync before wn's first targeted
discovery query. Without it wn's `keys check` races the relay's
WAL flush and intermittently returns NotFound.
* lib.sh: peel wn's `{"result": …}` wrapper in `jq_group_id`,
`wait_for_invite`, `wait_for_message`, `wait_for_member`. Post-v0.2
wn `--json` output nests everything under `.result` (and
`groups invites[]` nests further under `.group.mls_group_id`) —
these helpers were still pattern-matching on the flat shape, so
they returned empty strings for a perfectly good response.
* tests-{create,manage,extras}.sh: track both group IDs per test
(amy's nostr + wn's MLS), pass each CLI the id it understands, and
bump the post-commit wait timeouts to 90–120s so wn's exponential
retry backoff has time to work through the pre-membership commits
it can't decrypt and get to the ones it can.
