Feat/one identity per connection - #710
Merged
Merged
Conversation
A relay connection is identified by its url alone today, which bakes in the assumption of one WebSocket per relay. NIP-42 needs the authenticated identity to be part of that identity instead, so that a socket carries at most one pubkey, fixed when it is opened and immutable afterwards. RelayConnectionKey pairs a normalized url with an optional pubkey, null meaning anonymous. Normalization is done by the factories, so two spellings of the same relay, a trailing slash for instance, cannot open two connections, and an uppercase pubkey cannot open a second connection for the same account. The canonical form is there for the persisted keys and log lines that will need it later. Nothing uses the key yet, re-keying GlobalState.relays comes next.
GlobalState.relays was keyed by relay url, which cannot express more than one connection per relay. It is now keyed by RelayConnectionKey, and RelayConnectivity carries its own key. Every connection is still created anonymous and AUTH still happens on the existing socket, so there is exactly one connection per relay and nothing changes for callers. relayConnectivityChanges therefore keeps its url keyed shape, which stays lossless until a second connection can exist. The only observable difference is that the connectivity stream now emits a snapshot instead of the live map, which also removes the risk of iterating it while connectRelay mutates it.
Each WebSocket receives its own NIP-42 challenge, so storing challenges per relay url could hand a socket a challenge that belongs to another one. The challenge cache and the connect completers are now keyed by RelayConnectionKey. connectRelay takes an optional authPubkey and derives the connection key from it. No caller passes one yet, so every connection is still anonymous and behaviour is unchanged. connectedRelays now tests the transport directly rather than looking the relay up by url, which would only ever return anonymous connections once a second connection per relay exists.
RequestState.requests was keyed by relay url, so a request could only ever be tracked once per relay. It is now keyed by RelayConnectionKey, and RelayRequestState carries its key with url as a getter. registerRelayRequest takes a connectionKey instead of a relayUrl, so the call sites that need to name a connection fail to compile rather than silently pick the anonymous one. There is still one connection per relay, so the map holds the same entries as before and behaviour is unchanged. Fetched ranges deliberately keep using the url only, that key belongs to the issue 707 fix.
A connection key says which identity a socket may ever assume, not that it is authenticated. An anonymous connection is bound to nobody and never answers a challenge, so a refused request hands over to a bound connection instead of promoting the one it was refused on. Relays send their NIP-42 challenge whenever they want, and some only send it once a request needs one, so a bound connection sends first and answers the challenge when asked. Nothing extra is revealed: the binding is a client side notion, and until the AUTH the relay sees an anonymous socket. closeTransport, resetTransport and reconnectRelay took a url and silently resolved it to the anonymous connection, so an authenticated one could never be closed, reset or reconnected: closeAllTransports leaked it on destroy and tryReconnect reconnected the wrong one. Each now exists per connection, with url variants looping over every connection to that relay. Waiting for a challenge gets its own short timeout, distinct from the wait for an AUTH OK, so a relay that never challenges no longer stalls requests. The mock relay tracked authentication per server rather than per socket and could not tell the two designs apart.
relayConnectivityChanges was a Map keyed by relay url, which cannot express more than one connection per relay. It now emits the connections themselves, and consumers group by url if they need to. The type change breaks every consumer at compile time, which is the point: the previous shape silently dropped all but one connection per relay. The pending delivery tracker still addresses relays by url, so it treats a relay as reachable as soon as one of its connections is open. That goes away with the broadcast lot.

didAllRequestsReceivedEOSE had no caller and its definition became wrong: a request refused on the anonymous connection never receives an EOSE there. eagerAuth chose between authenticating on the challenge and on the refusal. An anonymous connection never authenticates and a bound one always does, so the choice no longer exists. It is gone from RelayManager, where it was an internal no-op parameter, and deprecated on NdkConfig, where removing it would break callers for no reason.

getRelayInfo returns null for identity-bound connections.
connectRelay calls getRelayInfo(url) on Line 320 for every connection, including authenticated ones. getRelayInfo now only accepts the relay when an anonymous entry exists. If a relay is reached only through a bound connection, relayInfo stays null, and doesRelaySupportNip then reports false for that relay. Relay info is relay-scoped, not connection-scoped, so match any connection for the url.

closeSubscription picked the right connections by key, then called sendCloseToRelay with their url, which resolved back to the anonymous connection. A subscription that had moved to a bound connection never received its CLOSE, so it leaked on the relay and the active request count was decremented on the wrong connection.
reSubscribeInFlightSubscriptions matched on relay url, so a reconnecting anonymous socket replayed the requests of a bound connection, and a bound socket replayed anonymous ones, which made them attributable once it authenticated. Matching on the connection key is not enough: the anonymous entry of a re-routed request is still there, marked closed, and replaying it gets it refused again and retriggers the re-route. Entries the relay already closed are now skipped. onDone reconnected via the url, which targets the anonymous connection even when a bound one had dropped. The transport's own backoff hides this today, but the call was addressing the wrong connection. The mock relay now records REQs before the auth check and tracks authentication per socket, which is what makes any of this observable.
connectedRelays started returning every connection, while the engines still matched on url. A relay holding both an anonymous and a bound connection made the JIT engine send the same REQ twice, publish through whichever socket came first, and crash on a non-nullable cast when only a bound connection existed, because alreadyConnected matched by url while the lookup used the anonymous key. connectedAnonymousRelays returns at most one connection per relay, and the engines use it. An identity is added later by the re-route, on the relays that ask for one. The relay set fallback deduplicates urls before broadcasting, since several connections now share one.

1. Async authentication can resurrect a closed subscription
packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/usecases/relay_manager.dart:1184 and 1223
If closeSubscription() runs while openConnectionAs() or authenticateConnection() is pending, the callback later resumes and sends REQ anyway. RequestState.close() does not clear state.requests, so the check at line 1225 still succeeds after removal from inFlightRequests.
Result: an orphan relay subscription exists after closeSubscription() returns, and NDK no longer tracks it to send CLOSE.
Fix: before each asynchronous retry, verify:
identical(globalState.inFlightRequests[reqId], state)
and ensure the state/controllers remain open. Ideally closing the request should cancel pending auth/open operations.
2. Authentication state is not scoped to a transport generation
packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/usecases/relay_manager.dart:953-1035
_challengeWaiters, _authenticating, and pending AUTH callbacks are keyed only by RelayConnectionKey and survive reset, close, or disconnect.
Example:
- Start AUTH while waiting for a challenge.
- Close and reopen the same connection key.
- The replacement socket’s challenge completes the old waiter.
- _sendAuth() still holds the old RelayConnectivity, while the new attempt shares the stale _authenticating future.
This can send AUTH to a closed transport, leave the new socket unauthenticated until timeout, or let an old AUTH response mark a replacement socket authenticated.
Fix: add a transport-generation token and cancel/fail all authentication state whenever that transport closes or is replaced.
3. closeConnection() does not forget transportless entries
packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/usecases/relay_manager.dart:1451-1459
Removal and auth cleanup are conditional on relayTransport != null. After resetConnection() or a failed connection attempt, closeConnection() and closeAllTransports() leave the entry in globalState.relays.
Remove and clean the entry whenever connectivity != null; guard only the actual transport close.
4. Authenticated retries corrupt activeRequests
packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/usecases/relay_manager.dart:1237-1240
The retry sent on the bound connection never increments that connection’s activeRequests, but EOSE or closeSubscription() decrements it through _sendCloseToRelay(). The authenticated connection can therefore report -1, while accounting is attached to the original anonymous attempt.
Update request accounting during the handoff.

reSubscribeInFlightSubscriptions only replayed subscriptions, so a query that lost its connection before EOSE was never sent again. It waited out its timeout and resolved empty. It now goes back up on the replacement connection, unless that connection already answered its EOSE, in which case it is finished and replaying it would only re-deliver its events. The replay also went out twice per request. ConcurrencyCheck files a state under the hash of its filters on top of the entry under its id, so walking inFlightRequests visited the same state once per alias. The relay answered both REQs and the second batch landed after the request was already gone. Only the entry filed under its own id is replayed now. The mock relay was hiding all of this. HttpServer.close does not close the sockets that WebSocketTransformer already upgraded, they are detached from the server, so stopServer left every client connected and tests went on talking to a relay that was supposed to be down. It now closes them, after it stops accepting, so no client can reconnect into the gap. Writes to the mock go through _send: handlers are async and can still be running once the connection is gone, and readyState is no guard there since it still reads as open right after close(). local_first's offline reaction test kept the default 15s delivery retry while every other test in the file uses 1s. It only passed because the stopped relay went on serving.
An error on the socket cancels the stream subscription, so the done event that would otherwise follow never arrives: the connection kept the AUTH of a dead socket and never reconnected.
A connection that is retrying an authentication no longer counts as finished while it has no socket: the replacement owes it a replay. What the reconnection leaves behind stops retrying, so nothing waits on a socket nobody will bring back.
web_socket_client reconnects under us and keeps its message stream open, so onDone and onError never fire when a socket dies transiently. The connection kept claiming it was authenticated for the whole outage, and an AUTH still waiting for its OK sat there until authCallbackTimeout instead of failing with the socket it was sent on.

Verify the relay rebinds to the same port after the restart.
stopServer releases the reserved port, and startServer retries with a new random port if the bind fails. If the rebind moves the port, authRelay.url changes, and the NDK client keeps dialing the old URL. The test then fails after the 60 s query timeout with a misleading message instead of a clear cause. Capture authRelay.url before the stop and assert it is unchanged after the restart.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Wait for the broken connection to drop before counting authenticated connections.
breakStream injects an error into the wrapper stream only. The underlying WebSocket to MockRelay stays open until the manager closes the _FaultyTransport. The relay removes the entry from _authenticatedPubkeys in the socket onDone handler, which runs after that close completes. The preceding _waitUntil only waits for acceptedAuths == 2, which the new socket can reach before the old socket is torn down. connectionsAuthenticatedAs(key.publicKey) then reads 2 and the test fails intermittently.

Just for my understanding in the code there are multiple places in the jit engine with:
--- connectedRelays: relayManagerLight.connectedRelays
+++ connectedRelays: relayManagerLight.connectedAnonymousRelaysThis implies that the jit engine is not using authenticated relays in the strategies, right?
The tests should tests both engines

The JIT engine uses authenticated connection if needed. |

packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/usecases/relay_manager.dart:L1493: 🔴 bug (privacy): broadcast AUTH is sent on the shared RelayConnectionKey.anonymous socket. Once accepted, later “anonymous” requests reuse an authenticated connection and become attributable to the broadcast account. Reproduced with both engines. Open an identity-bound connection via openConnectionAs and retry the EVENT there.
packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/usecases/relay_manager.dart:L315: 🟡 risk: transient disconnects do not reset activeRequests; onReconnect replays every REQ and increments again, producing 1 → 2, then CLOSE → 1. Reset the transport-scoped count in onDisconnect before replay.
A transient disconnect never goes through close(), so activeRequests kept the requests the dead socket carried and the replay of onReconnect counted them again: a subscription went to 2, then back to 1 on its CLOSE. RelayStats now tracks the ids open on the connection and derives activeRequests from them, so a replayed REQ counts once and a CLOSE that lands after the socket came back cannot count below what is open.

One authenticated identity per relay connection
A connection is identified by
(relay url, pubkey | null)instead of by urlalone. The key says which identity a socket may ever assume, not that it is
already authenticated:
A relay refusing a request with
auth-requiredno longer triggers an AUTH onthe socket it refused: the request moves to a connection bound to the account,
and both attempts stay in the request state. Relays send their challenge
whenever they want, and some only once a request needs one, so a bound
connection sends first and answers when asked.
Breaking
relayConnectivityChangesemitsList<RelayConnectivity>instead of a mapkeyed by url, which could only carry one connection per relay
GlobalState.relaysandRequestState.requestsare keyed byRelayConnectionKey,registerRelayRequesttakes aconnectionKeyNdkConfig.eagerAuthis deprecated and has no effect: an anonymousconnection never authenticates and a bound one always does. This one is
silent, nothing fails to compile.
Deliberately left out
BroadcastStateis keyed by url andcannot follow an event across two connections (see authenticateAs for broadcast #665)
identity whose AUTH was accepted, not the connection's binding, otherwise a
bound connection that never authenticated records anonymous data as if it had
been fetched identified and the gap is never re-fetched.
Testing
Two new ones pin what would regress silently: the anonymous
connection survives a retry instead of being promoted, and closing all
transports leaves no authenticated connection behind.
