Reviewed the current head cdcc690c73e1df7496affc5d6e7ee6cf165509a8.
No blocking issues found. The fix now persists the revealed counterparty by order.id, avoids seeding the daemon pubkey as the peer, creates the missing maker session on reveal, and keeps replay/terminal-state guards in place. I also verified the CodeRabbit session-creation concern is addressed on this head.

Review — fix: persist counterparty pubkey and create the maker's session at peer reveal
Both halves of the diagnosis check out against the code: take_order really did seed counterparty_pubkey with the 38383 event author (the Mostro node), and create_session really is called from take_order only, so a maker reached on_peer_pubkey_received with no session and the old code's if let Some(session) branch silently did nothing. The symmetric key-match resolution is a genuine simplification over the per-action role table, and moving the capture ahead of the take-waiter interception is the right call — that reply is consumed and never reaches the arms.
I verified the pieces this depends on: create_session errors on duplicates rather than overwriting (so the take-race ordering in take_order is safe), save_trade is INSERT OR REPLACE but has only two production call sites and both precede the reveal, create_order already writes a maker row so update_trade_counterparty has something to hit, the ACTIVE_CHATS guard makes repeat spawns real no-ops, and the global DM filter carries no since, which is what makes the "every replayed reveal self-heals" claim actually true. cargo clippy --all-targets is clean and cargo test --lib passes (296/296).
One moderate issue and a handful of smaller ones.
🟠 Moderate
1. The new invariant guard is node-scoped, so it misses exactly the rows it exists to catch on every node but the active one.
chat_still_relevant rejects counterparty_pubkey == active_mostro_pubkey(). But the trades table has no node column:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS trades (
id TEXT PRIMARY KEY, data TEXT NOT NULL, status TEXT NOT NULL,
started_at INTEGER NOT NULL, completed_at INTEGER
);and resubscribe_active_chats iterates db.list_trades() — every row, from every node the user has ever pointed at (set_active_mostro_pubkey / refresh_subscriptions_for_active_node clear the order book, not the trades). So a pre-fix row poisoned with node B's pubkey sails through the guard while node A is active, derives garbage chat keys, and claims ACTIVE_CHATS — and subscribe_incoming_chat has no idle timeout, so it holds that claim for the life of the process and the self-healing reveal's spawn becomes a silent no-op. That is precisely the failure this guard was added to prevent, one node over.
A node-agnostic guard is available on the same row and is exact rather than heuristic:
&& trade.counterparty_pubkey != trade.order.creator_pubkeyThe poison is creator_pubkey — that was take_order's old seed — so this catches it regardless of which node published the 38383 event, needs no config read, and can never reject a legitimate peer (a peer trade pubkey is never the event author). Keeping both checks is fine too, but the creator_pubkey one is the load-bearing half.
🟡 Minor
2. The trade keys are derived twice per qualifying message. maybe_capture_peer_reveal loads get_active_trade_keys(trade_index) (l. 2314) to run resolve_peer_side, then calls on_peer_pubkey_received, which loads the same keys again (l. 2373) before delegating to apply_peer_reveal. Since maybe_capture_peer_reveal is now the only production caller of on_peer_pubkey_received, calling apply_peer_reveal(order_id, &peer_hex, &trade_keys, trade_index, role) directly drops a BIP-32 derivation plus an identity-lock read from every reveal — and makes role: Option<TradeRole> unnecessary (it is None only in peer_pubkey_with_no_session_does_not_panic).
3. No short-circuit once the peer is already captured. Widening capture from two actions to "any payload naming both trade pubkeys" means the whole path — key derivation ×2, DB UPDATE, ECDH, HKDF, session update, task spawn — now runs for essentially every daemon message in a trade's life, and again for the entire replayed history on each restart (the global DM filter deliberately has no since). An early return when the session already holds this exact peer and a shared key preserves the self-heal property for rows that missed it while making the overwhelmingly common case free. It also silences finding 4 on web.
4. The IndexedDB stub warns on every message. update_trade_counterparty logs at warn unconditionally. Unlike mark_trade_rated (once per trade), this now fires for every qualifying daemon message and every replayed one, so a web session's log fills with a message that carries no new information after the first. log::debug! — or a once-per-order warn — keeps the signal without the spam.
5. take_order returns a TradeInfo it has just contradicted in the DB. The replay block writes the peer to the row but leaves the returned struct's counterparty_pubkey empty, so the value handed across the bridge disagrees with what was persisted a line earlier. Harmless today — take_order_screen.dart discards the return and re-reads through rawTradesProvider — but TradeInfo.counterpartyPubkey is exactly what tradeInfoToChatRoom gates the chat room on, so a future caller that trusts the return value gets no chat room. One line (trade.counterparty_pubkey = peer.clone();) keeps them consistent.
6. maybe_capture_peer_reveal itself has no test. The tests cover resolve_peer_side (pure) and apply_peer_reveal (session creation) — both welcome — but not the layer whose behavior changed most: payload extraction (Order vs PaymentRequest(Some(_), ..)), the both-pubkeys-required rule, the terminal guard, the BondSlashed exemption, and the durable write. The identity dependency is what makes it awkward, and it is the same reason apply_peer_reveal was split out — the same trick works here: lift the payload → (buyer_pk, seller_pk) extraction into a pure helper and table-test it (single-sided payload, unparseable hex, non-Order payload). That covers the new decision logic without touching process-global identity state.
🔵 Nits
7. Stale comment left behind in the BuyerTookOrder | HoldInvoicePaymentAccepted arm. The terminal-guard comment still reads "a stale replay over a finished trade must not re-derive the peer key, recreate session state, or respawn the chat subscription either" — none of which this arm does any more. Behavior is fine (maybe_capture_peer_reveal carries its own status_sync_blocked_by_terminal), but the guard is now evaluated twice per message for these two actions and the comment describes the pre-#334 code.
8. let small_order = ... o.clone() in that same arm is now the only remaining use, and only small_order.status is read — the clone can go (pre-existing, but the arm shrank enough that it stands out).
✅ Verified
create_sessionreturnsSessionAlreadyExistsinstead of overwriting, so the take-race path (reveal creates session → take_order's create fails → replay persists from the session) cannot lose the peer or the shared key. ✔save_trade(INSERT OR REPLACE, full-row) has exactly two production call sites, both before any reveal, so thejson_setwrite cannot be clobbered. ✔create_orderpersists a maker row with an emptycounterparty_pubkey, so the maker's durable write lands on a real row. ✔resolve_peer_side'sTradeRolematches the codebase's "our role" convention, and the maker's session role therefore agrees with the trade row's. ✔session.orderis write-only in this crate, so the book-sourcedOrderInfoused when the reveal creates the session cannot diverge into anything observable. ✔- Placement is after the generation gate and after the local→daemon UUID reconciliation, so the capture always sees the daemon id. ✔
Requesting changes on 1; the rest are cheap enough to fold into the same round.

Changes requested — the fix is right and I verified it against the real database; the contract did not come with it
I confirmed the premise on disk, measured the effect on the user's own trade rows, and drove the capture end to end. Everything in the description holds. What is missing is the spec update the repo's own rule requires.
The bug is real, and it is in the database right now
order_events.rs:77-78 is literal: creator_pubkey = event.pubkey.to_hex(), with the comment "creator_pubkey is the Mostro node's pubkey (the event author)". Seeding counterparty_pubkey from it stores the daemon.
Reading a real mostro.db (read-only copy): 27 trades, 5 with counterparty_pubkey == creator_pubkey == the Mostro node. Running each branch's real chat_still_relevant over those rows:
main |
this PR | |
|---|---|---|
| Chat subscriptions armed at startup | 2 | 0 |
| …of which poisoned | 2 | 0 |
6a0f3c7b Success -> false
2251082f Active -> TRUE <- arms a subscription with garbage keys
5066fa12 Canceled -> false
3a24a01c FiatSent -> TRUE <- same
4ecb5857 CooperativelyCanceled -> false
So on that machine every chat listener the app arms on restart is built from the daemon's pubkey — not "somerows are bad", all of the ones that get that far.
One detail confirms the reasoning in the chat_still_relevant comment. In the probe the active node was thecompiled-in default, not the node those rows came from, so the active_mostro_pubkey comparison caught none ofthe five. The row-local creator_pubkey comparison caught all of them. The comment calling it "the load-bearingone" is exactly right, and the second check really is defence in depth.
The durable write repairs a real poisoned row
Applying the new update_trade_counterparty to order 2251082f in a writable copy of that database:
before: counterparty=00000018… chat_still_relevant=false
after: counterparty=aaaaaaaa… chat_still_relevant=true
Survives closing and reopening the database, and the empty-value write is refused. The full cycle is demonstrated on the real row shape: poisoned → excluded by the guard → repaired by the write → relevant again.
The capture, driven end to end
Seeding an identity, creating the row as a take leaves it (counterparty empty), then feeding one daemon messagenaming both trade pubkeys through dispatch_mostro_message. Same test, both branches:
main |
this PR | |
|---|---|---|
counterparty_pubkey on the row |
<empty> |
the peer's real pubkey |
| Session | none | created, with peer and shared_key |
That is #334 in one line: in the maker's shape main loses the counterparty entirely — no row value, no session, so no chat is possible ever.
Blocking: the contract does not accompany the change
The repo rule is explicit — "Specs are a living artifact: a behaviour change updates its contract in the same PR." This PR changes two things specs/004 describes:
contracts/orders.md:328gives theBuyerTookOrder/HoldInvoicePaymentAcceptedrow as "status → Active".When that was written, the arm also did the peer reveal. The reveal is now a cross-cutting step before dispatchthat applies to any action whose payload names both trade pubkeys, and no row in the table mentions it. Someoneimplementing from the contract would not implement the capture.contracts/orders.md:105-122saystake_orderis where "the trade session/subscriptions start". With this PR the session may already exist (created by the reveal), the duplicatecreate_sessionis an expected error, andcounterparty_pubkeyis no longer seeded there.
Two paragraphs: one line in orders.md for the pre-dispatch capture (with the BondSlashed exemption), and acorrection to the take_order section. While there, types.md:153 lists counterparty_pubkey with no semantics —worth a sentence saying when it is populated and that the row is the durable record while the session is a cache.

The seam this PR creates is undefended: deleting the wiring leaves all 341 tests green. Mutating each piece:
Mutation Caught by a test? Drop the two new chat_still_relevantconditionsyes Swap the sides in resolve_peer_sideyes Allow an empty pubkey in update_trade_counterpartyyes Restore counterparty_pubkey: order.creator_pubkeyintake_orderno Delete the maybe_capture_peer_revealcall from the dispatcherno The last one is the whole feature. I wrote the missing test to check the objection in the doc comment — thatcovering it means touching the process-global identity — and it is writable in about ninety lines, using onlywhat the file already has plus
import_from_mnemonic. It does have to be#[ignore]d, which is the pattern thisrepo already uses for anything that cannot share process state (restore_e2e_tests, theapp_dbOnceCell). Thatis the C table above; happy to hand over the probe.The
take_orderseed mutation matters less than it looks, and it is worth saying why: its consequence is nowdefended by thechat_still_relevantguard, which is covered. The poison can come back silently, but it nolonger reaches key derivation. -
peer_reveal_pubkeysaccepts empty strings where mostrix rejects them. The reference doesif buyer_s.is_empty() || seller_s.is_empty() { return None; }(chat_utils.rs:256-258); here aSome("")passes thefilter and dies later inPublicKey::from_hex, on the branch that logswarn!("unparseable trade pubkeys inpayload"). Safe, but this function runs for every daemon message and for the whole replayed history on eachrestart, so a daemon emittingSome("")instead ofNonewould fill the log. Two lines to match the reference.

- Ordering in the dispatcher is correct and load-bearing: generation gate → local→daemon UUID reconciliation →capture → take-waiter. The capture must follow the reconciliation, because it writes by
order.idand by thenthe row has been rebound to the daemon id. trade_indexreally is ours: on the global pathresolve_dm_recipienthas already pinned the addressed trade key andunwrap_mostro_messagedecrypted with those keys, so the "ours by construction" claim holds.- "Mirrors mostrix" is accurate:
~/Github/mostrix/src/util/chat_utils.rs:251-277does the same symmetric match and returnsNonewhen we are neither party. - The UI does learn about it. The capture emits no
TradeUpdate, but in the normal flow the same messagecontinues into the status arm, which does. The one case where it does not — a take's first reply, consumed by thewaiter — is covered deliberately: the new block at the end oftake_orderreplays the write and mirrors the peeronto the returned struct, with the comment explaining thattradeInfoToChatRoomgates on that field. - One row per
order.idin the real database (27 rows, 27 distinct ids), so theWHEREjson_extract(data,'$.order.id') = ?update touches exactly one. - CI on the tree merged with current
