fix: persist counterparty pubkey so the maker's chat resolves the peer - #347
Conversation
WalkthroughChatRoomScreen now hydrates room identity from trade data when opened, retries when the peer pubkey is empty, and re-hydrates after matching trade updates. ChangesChat room hydration and refresh
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Chat identity hydration improves direct-opened maker chats, but timing races can erase message preview state or leave the counterparty displayed as Unknown; unresolved rooms may also perform unnecessary refreshes. These cases should be addressed before merge. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

I found one blocking issue on the current head 07d0216d9a106fe766fd9a4708f7a53d27778801.
The new persistence makes the maker's room resolve the peer identity, but the maker still never gets a Session when the peer reveal arrives. create_order persists the maker trade without calling create_session, and the existing on_peer_pubkey_received branch still only updates a session if one already exists; otherwise it logs and continues. That means the fixed chat header can now show the peer nym, but pressing Send from the maker's chat still takes send_message's no-session path and stores a local-only message with an empty sender pubkey, so the counterparty never receives it.
Please create/populate the missing maker session when the peer pubkey is revealed (or otherwise make send_message reconstruct the needed chat context from the persisted trade row), and add a regression test for the maker reveal path with no pre-existing session.
Validation I ran:
cargo test update_trade_counterparty_round_trips_by_order_idcargo testfromrust/→ 294 passed, 8 ignored
GitHub checks are green, but this session-lifecycle gap remains blocking.

Re-reviewed current head 48659ae35721b35598bc58399de8c2759182d0a7.
The previous blocker is fixed: on_peer_pubkey_received now rebuilds a missing maker session from the persisted trade row, and resubscribe_active_chats also restores sessions after restart before spawning the peer chat subscription. The new regression tests live with SessionManager and cover both creating a session from a maker reveal with no existing session and preserving role/index/order on an existing session.

Reviewed at 48659ae, merged locally against current main (7bbfa1d — the branch is 16 commits behind and merges clean). On that merge: 315 Rust tests pass, cargo clippy --locked -- -D warnings and cargo check --locked --target wasm32-unknown-unknown are clean, flutter analyze reports nothing, flutter test → 292 pass. frb-generate.sh produces no drift.
The maker fix is real and the session-lifecycle gap from the previous round is genuinely closed. But rebuilding sessions inside resubscribe_active_chats turns a pre-existing bad row into an outgoing channel, so I can't approve this as it stands.
Blocking: the session rebuild makes the trade chat publish to the Mostro node
take_order seeds the trade row with counterparty_pubkey: order.creator_pubkey (orders.rs:833), and on a Kind 38383 book order creator_pubkey is the Mostro node's own pubkey — nostr/order_events.rs:77 says so in as many words ("creator_pubkey is the Mostro node's pubkey (the event author)"). On main nothing ever writes that field back, so every taken trade keeps it.
This is not hypothetical. In my local mostro.db, 6 of 27 trade rows carry my mostrod's pubkey as counterparty_pubkey, and two of them are still live with no outcome (one FiatSent, one Active). chat_still_relevant accepts both — non-empty counterparty, live status.
With this PR, resubscribe_active_chats now runs
upsert_peer_session(&trade, &trade.counterparty_pubkey, shared_key)for exactly those rows, so the session's peer_pubkey becomes the daemon's key. send_message then takes its normal path — session.peer_pubkey → chat_context → derive_chat_keys → publish_chat_payload — and puts the message on the relay.
I verified this by running the real code rather than reading it. A scratch test that saves the row take_order produces today and calls resubscribe_active_chats:
PROBE: session peer_pubkey = Some("82fa8cb978b43c79b2156585bac2c011176a21d2aead6d9f7c575c005be88390")
test result: ok. 1 passed
The same probe on clean main fails with PROBE: no session was built — today there is no session, send_message stays on its local-only path, and nothing leaves the device. With this PR it does.
And the recipient can read it. The chat ECDH is symmetric, so whoever holds the secret behind that pubkey derives the same K_conv. Also executed:
PROBE: the node derives the identical K_conv/K_sign — it can decrypt the chat
So the net effect is: trade chat content encrypted to the Mostro node instead of the counterparty, decryptable by the node operator, never delivered to the peer, while the UI shows it as sent. That is strictly worse than the current silent local-only behavior.
Fix, either way:
- Preferred — land #345 first and rebase this on top. #345 fixes the root cause (stops seeding
creator_pubkeyintake_order) and adds thechat_still_relevantguard rejecting a counterparty equal to the active Mostro pubkey, which covers rows that are already poisoned. I confirmed it: withmain + #345my probe fails atassert!(chat_still_relevant(&trade)), i.e. the bad row is correctly excluded from chat recovery. - Minimum inside this PR: the same guard in
chat_still_relevant, plus dropping thecreator_pubkeyseed. Note the guard alone only compares against the active node, so it would not cover a row seeded by a different node — which is why not writing that pubkey in the first place is the real fix.
Merge order matters: #345 and #347 conflict. Merging one after the other produces conflicts in rust/src/api/orders.rs and rust/src/db/sqlite.rs — both add update_trade_counterparty and both touch on_peer_pubkey_received. One of them has to be the base.
Minor
- The PR body describes the dangerous case incorrectly. "Trades taken before this fix keep their empty counterparty" is true for makers, but a taker's row is not empty — it holds the daemon pubkey, which is precisely the row that triggers the blocker above. Worth rewording so the case isn't hidden.
- The seam this PR creates has no test. The three new tests cover
upsert_peer_sessionand the SQLite round-trip, but nothing exercisesresubscribe_active_chats→ session, which is the new seam and where the defect is. A test there would have caught it — my probe is literally that test. - The maker fix does not apply on web.
IndexedDbStorage::get_trade_by_order_idreturnsOk(None)(#233), so the new branch inon_peer_pubkey_receivedfalls through to the warn and a web maker stays local-only. Not a regression, but the PR reads as if the gap were closed everywhere. #345 covers this by building the session without depending on the row. update_trade_counterpartydoes not refuse an empty pubkey. The only caller already guarantees non-empty, so there is no live bug, but it is a new trait seam that can blank a good value. The equivalent in #345 rejects it.- Dart:
_hydrateRoom()is invoked frombuild(). Whileroom.peerPubkeyis empty, every rebuild firesref.read(tradeInfoProvider(...).future)— one DB round-trip per rebuild. No infinite loop (tradeInfoToChatRoomreturnsnullfor an empty pubkey, so nothing is upserted to feed it back), but a simple_hydratingflag would bound it. refreshTrades(ref)invalidatesrawTradesProviderwholesale on everytradeUpdatefor this order. Works, but broader than needed.
What I verified
- Merge against today's
main, full CI as above. - The blocker chain, executed: with this PR the session is built with the daemon's pubkey; on clean
mainno session is built; withmain + #345the row is excluded bychat_still_relevant. ECDH symmetry proven with the realderive_chat_keys. - No identity-key exposure anywhere in this change: what is persisted is
SmallOrder.{buyer,seller}_trade_pubkey(orders.rs:1825), themaster_*_pubkeyfields are never referenced in this repo,resubscribe_active_chatsderives fromget_active_trade_keys(trade.trade_key_index), and the chat envelope is still kind 14 signed withK_signplus an inner kind 1 signed by the trade key. - Cross-PR conflict with #345.
The session rebuild in resubscribe_active_chats turned pre-fix rows (counterparty seeded with the node's pubkey by take_order) into an outgoing channel encrypted to the Mostro node. MostroP2P#345 fixes that root cause and already carries the persistence surface this PR duplicated, so the Rust half is dropped; the Dart-only hydration fix remains.

The imperative hydrate path was structurally broken, as chasing a CodeRabbit finding proved: tradeInfoProvider is autoDispose, so a one-shot read future goes stale when the reveal's invalidation lands mid-await and never resolves — wedging hydration for the screen's lifetime. Listen to the provider instead: rawTradesProvider already refetches itself on every trade update, so the reveal arrives as a fresh emission with no refresh or retry bookkeeping. Merge the live preview before upserting so a racing message isn't clobbered and a just-zeroed unread badge isn't resurrected. Three regression tests.
