# Tasks: darkirc-delivery-status ## 1. Wire compatibility spike (blocks everything) - [ ] 1.1 Verify unknown-message tolerance: using the event-graph test harness (`src/event_graph/test_helpers.rs`), connect two nodes where only one registers an `EventPutStatus` dispatch, send one from the other, and confirm the receiving channel stays up (no stop/strike/ panic). Record the outcome in the change notes; if unknown ids destabilize channels, stop and re-discuss gating before proceeding. Verify via a new test in `src/event_graph/tests.rs`. ## 2. Event-graph layer (`src/event_graph`) - [ ] 2.1 Define `EventPutStatus`/`EventPutResult`/`NackReason` in `proto.rs` with explicit `u8` discriminants, `impl_p2p_message!` with default metering, and register dispatch/subscription in `ProtocolEventGraph::init`. Verify `make` builds and clippy is clean. - [ ] 2.2 Emit statuses from `handle_event_put` at every outcome per the design table (NotSynced, Has{false} duplicate, historical-slot check before TooOld, Invalid, Busy, Has{true} inserted), unicast on the receiving channel; strike/flood paths unchanged and silent. Verify each emission point with a two-node test asserting the exact reply variant, including the retained-slot `Has{false}` case across a rotation. - [ ] 2.3 Add `receipt_pub: Publisher<(EventPutStatus, ChannelPtr)>` and `receipt_subscribe()` to `EventGraph`; republish every inbound status unfiltered from the per-channel handler. Verify with a test that receives both own-origin and relayed statuses on the subscription. - [ ] 2.4 Decode hardening: unknown `EventPutResult`/`NackReason` variant or malformed body is dropped with a warning, no panic, no strike, channel stays connected. Verify with a fuzz-style unit test feeding truncated/random payloads through the decoder. ## 3. darkirc outbound tracking (`bin/darkirc`) - [ ] 3.1 Add the `darkirc_outbound` kvdb tree and serializable record (event id, plaintext Privmsg fields, state, attempts, ts, `superseded_by`), plus helpers to insert/close/update records. Verify with round-trip serialization + tree unit tests in `server.rs`. - [ ] 3.2 Write the outbound record in `publish_events` before `p2p.broadcast`; close as Delivered on any `Has`. Verify with a unit test that a crash-restart (reopen kvdb) still finds the record Pending. ## 4. darkirc delivery monitor (`bin/darkirc`) - [ ] 4.1 Receipt aggregation task: subscribe `receipt_pub`, filter to tracked ids, dedupe per (event id, channel address), update records; treat an ancestry reference (foreign event whose parents' closure contains a tracked id) as positive delivery evidence. Verify with unit tests driving synthetic statuses and a synthetic child event through the aggregator. - [ ] 4.2 Sweep + rebroadcast: periodic sweep gated by `is_synced() && connection_count >= K`, rebroadcasting the original `EventPut` (event + blob from local DAG) with backoff up to `R_MAX` rounds, then continuing at the slow rate. Verify with a multi-node harness test that a peer which already has the event answers `Has{inserted:false}` and the record closes without recreation, and that pure silence (status-incapable peer) never produces a replacement while the window is open. - [ ] 4.3 Recreate triggers per design: window-closed-with-no-holder (local rotation knowledge or TooOld nacks) and explicit all-nack with at least one `Invalid`; `NotSynced`/`Busy`/silence mean retry. Build a fresh event from stored plaintext (fresh nonce, fresh parents/timestamp), park on RLN `BudgetExhausted`, cap attempts at `A_MAX`, surface failure to the client on cap. Verify with harness tests: rotation-forced recreate writes a superseding record linked via `superseded_by`; budget exhaustion parks; attempt cap reaches Failed; `NotSynced`-only replies do not recreate. - [ ] 4.4 End-to-end darkirc scenario test: node A publishes while disconnected from B, A reconnects after DAG rotation, B must end up holding a recreate-generation event and A's record must show the `superseded_by` link; a second scenario where B already holds the original in a retained slot must close A's record as Delivered with no recreate. Verify both assertions in the multi-node harness. ## 5. Hardening and review gate - [ ] 5.1 Full workspace gates green: `make`, `make clippy`, `make test` (proofs + contracts built first per AGENTS.md); confirm no `unwrap`/`expect`/`panic!` on any new attacker-controlled decode path and no peer addresses logged with receipt state. - [ ] 5.2 Invoke `@anon-security-review` on the full diff; treat FAIL as blocking and address findings before marking the change ready to apply. Verify the review verdict is recorded in the change notes.
