Total: 305 unit tests, 12 test files, all passing

Security fixes (code review + per-milestone review)

M1–M9 (original):

  • CRIT-1: Seal Schnorr sig verification (verifyEvent) before trusting sender pubkey
  • CRIT-2: EIP-712 raw 66-byte digest (not ABI-encoded) in PaymentValidator
  • CRIT-3: Injectable verifyVoucherSig callback in ChannelBridge (prevents gas-waste spam)
  • HIGH-2: Conversation ID uses SHA-256(sorted pubkeys) instead of colon-join
  • HIGH-3: Rejection sampling eliminates modulo bias in random timestamp generation
  • HIGH-8: Nostr event id + sig verified in handleBridgeEvent() before routing
  • M8-SEC: verifyEvent on all relay-returned kind:0 / kind:10001 events (relay spoofing prevention)
  • M8-SEC: Reserved profile keys cannot be overridden via extra field
  • M9-SEC: verifyEvent on all relay-returned kind:443 KeyPackages before use
  • M9-SEC: verifyEvent before decrypting kind:445 group messages
  • M9-SEC: Welcome parser strictly validates all required fields

M10–M11:

  • crypto.timingSafeEqual with zero-padding for constant-time Bearer token comparison
  • maxBodyBytes (65536) with drain-then-respond before 413 — prevents memory DoS
  • maxSseClients (100) + requestTimeoutMs (30s) — prevents slow-client DoS
  • Internal errors never leak to client response body
  • RateLimiter O(1) key eviction via Set (replaced O(n²) array pattern)
  • FileNonceStore handles corrupted JSON gracefully (warn + empty reset)
  • ChannelBridge internal error strings no longer leaked in rejection reason

M12–M13:

  • WakuTransport validates content topic format before subscription
  • MultiTransport SeenSet uses Map for O(1) deduplication across transports
  • Fan-out errors isolated per-transport (one failure does not block others)

CRIT-1: Fix misleading security model comment in UserOpBridge — authorizationSig
  is fully verified via secp256k1 ecrecover (not deferred to consumer).

CRIT-2: Add FileNonceStore to NonceStore.ts — JSON-file backed store that survives
  process restarts, eliminating nonce replay vulnerability on restart. Exported as
  part of the public API alongside InMemoryNonceStore. Warn clearly in docs that
  InMemoryNonceStore must not be used in production.

CRIT-3: ChannelBridgeConfig is now a discriminated union requiring either
  verifyVoucherSig (EIP-712 offline verifier) or skipVoucherSigVerification: true
  (testing only). This prevents gas-wasting spam submissions at the type level.

H1: X402Bridge maxValidBeforeWindowSeconds default reduced from 7 days to 24 hours,
  preventing long-lived pre-signed authorizations from being replayed.

H2: Expanded callData layout comments in UserOpBridge to name the SimpleAccount
  execute(address,uint256,bytes) ABI assumption explicitly, with selector byte layout.

Review findings addressed (commit 1f6732b)

CRIT-1 — UserOpBridge authorizationSig ambiguity ✅

Fixed misleading JSDoc. The verifyAuthorizationSig() method fully implements secp256k1 ecrecover against a 128-byte payload: keccak256(chainId:32B || entryPoint:32B || userOpHash:32B || triggerNonce:32B). The old comment "left to the authorizationSig consumer" has been removed.

CRIT-2 — In-memory nonce store loses state on restart ✅

Added FileNonceStore — a JSON-file backed NonceStore that survives process restarts. Exported from the public API. Clear production warnings added to NonceStore.ts docblock directing operators to either FileNonceStore (single-process) or Redis SETNX / SQL INSERT OR IGNORE (multi-process). InMemoryNonceStore is now explicitly labeled as not safe for production.

CRIT-3 — ChannelBridge verifyVoucherSig optional ✅

ChannelBridgeConfig is now a discriminated union. Callers must provide either verifyVoucherSig (offline EIP-712 verifier) or skipVoucherSigVerification: true (testing only, explicit opt-out). This is enforced at the TypeScript type level — omitting both is a compile error.

H1 — maxValidBeforeWindowSeconds default too large ✅

Default reduced from 7 days → 24 hours (86400s).

H2 — callData layout assumption undocumented ✅

UserOpBridge comments now explicitly name the SimpleAccount execute(address,uint256,bytes) ABI, including the byte-level layout and the 0xb61d27f6 selector. Non-SimpleAccount wallets are warned not to configure allowedSelectors/allowedContracts.


All 212 tests passing, build clean.

M10 + M11 completed (commits bf5c94d, 4af2af9)

M10: SporeHttpGateway — HTTP/SSE REST Gateway

A XMTP-compatible REST API that lets external clients (Python, Go, mobile, etc.) use Spore Protocol without a Nostr SDK.

API surface:

  • POST /api/v1/messages/send — send NIP-17 DM
  • GET /api/v1/conversations — list conversations
  • GET /api/v1/messages?peer=<hex>&limit=<n> — fetch message history
  • GET /api/v1/stream — Server-Sent Events stream
  • GET /api/v1/health — health check

Security measures (from security review):

  • Bearer token auth — uses crypto.timingSafeEqual (prevents timing oracle)
  • maxBodyBytes (default 65536) — drain-then-respond logic before 413
  • maxSseClients (default 100) — returns 429 on overflow (prevents memory DoS)
  • requestTimeoutMs (default 30s) — prevents slow-client DoS
  • Internal errors logged server-side only; client receives internal_server_error
  • contentType MIME pattern validation
  • limit param clamped to [1, 200]
  • All JSON responses include X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

M11: Mainnet Hardening

RateLimiter (token bucket):

  • allow(key) — consumes token, returns allow/deny
  • Configurable ratePerSecond, burstLimit, maxKeys (LRU eviction)
  • RateLimitStore interface — pluggable Redis backend

MainnetChecklist (pre-deploy audit):

  • SEC-1 ~ SEC-9: wss:// relays, persistent NonceStore, rate limiting, voucher sig verification, gateway auth, X402 expiry window, UserOp auth mode
  • runMainnetChecklist(input)ChecklistReport.passed (false if any CRITICAL/HIGH fails)

Total tests: 258 passing (10 test files)

Review + Simplify + Security Fix (commit 444bb1f)

Code review and security review findings applied:

CRIT: timingSafeEqual — constant-time comparison via zero-padding

Removed the dummy-work pattern for unequal-length strings. Both inputs are now zero-padded to equal length and compared with a single crypto.timingSafeEqual call — simpler and fully eliminates length-based timing oracle.

HIGH: RateLimiter O(n²) → O(1)

Replaced keyOrder: string[] + includes() + shift() with keySet: Set<string>. has(), add(), delete(), and insertion-order iteration are all O(1).

MED: Remove internal error string leakage in ChannelBridge

  • channel_fetch_failed: ${err}'channel_fetch_failed' (with server-side console.error logging)
  • String(err)'settlement_failed'

MED: FileNonceStore — handle corrupted JSON gracefully

Constructor now catches JSON.parse failures and initialises an empty store with a console.warn, rather than throwing.

Simplification:

  • GatewayTypes.StreamEvent → discriminated union (StreamMessageEvent | StreamConnectedEvent | StreamErrorEvent)
  • MainnetChecklist: removed unused pass() / fail() helpers, unified into single check() function
  • ChannelBridge: removed redundant 'verifyVoucherSig' in this.config && type guard (TypeScript narrows automatically)

258 tests passing, build clean.

- Test: A→B DM delivery via NIP-17 GiftWrap + NIP-44 decrypt ✓
- Test: B echoes A; A receives round-trip reply ✓
- Test: relay rejects tampered event signatures ✓
- Test: relay sends EOSE on subscription ✓
- Test: distinct secp256k1 identities derived per agent ✓
- No mocks, no external relays, real crypto end-to-end
Security fixes (CRITICAL/HIGH):
- validateEventId/Sig → private in SporeRelayNode (prevent monkey-patching)
- verifyAuthorizationSig: hash bytes not hex strings (case-sensitive bug)
- StrfryPlugin: replace process.exit(0) with injectable onClose callback

Correctness fixes:
- unwrapDm: guard sealEvent.pubkey/content field types before decrypt
- randomTimestampInLastDay: use crypto.getRandomValues, not Math.random
- AirAccountIdentity: remove XOR keccak fallback, use @noble/hashes directly
- PaymentValidator: compute real EIP-712 domain separator (was placeholder)
- RelayPool: enforce wss:// in production (allowInsecure opt-in for dev/test)

Resilience:
- NonceStore interface: injectable persistence for X402Bridge + UserOpBridge
- VoucherStore interface: injectable persistence for ChannelBridge
- BoundedSet: cap seenIds at 10k entries to prevent OOM on long-running nodes

Tests:
- validateEventId/Sig tests: access private methods via unknown cast
- bridges.test.ts: restore self_only/whitelist modes; fix authSig expectations
CRITICAL — TOCTOU replay prevention:
- NonceStore: add claim() atomic method (check+set in one operation)
- X402Bridge/UserOpBridge: replace has()+add() two-step with claim()
- Async store implementations (Redis/DB) must implement claim() as atomic
  SET-NX or INSERT-OR-IGNORE to prevent concurrent replay attacks

HIGH — validBefore upper bound (X402Bridge):
- Add maxValidBeforeWindowSeconds config (default: 7 days)
- Commitments with validBefore > now + window are now rejected
- Prevents indefinitely-valid payment commitments

LOW — defensive robustness:
- X402Bridge: wrap BigInt() in try/catch; malformed amount/valid_before
  strings now return missing_tags instead of throwing uncaught
- PaymentValidator: remove 'as unknown as' type cast; pass Uint8Array
  directly to viem keccak256 (ByteArray overload, no runtime change)

False positives from review (not fixed):
- CRITICAL #2: keccak256 address derivation is correct (slice(-40) works)
- CRITICAL #3: BoundedSet never exceeds maxSize (evict-then-add)
- HIGH #7: Timing attack on string compare not exploitable in this context
- SporeRelayOperator: add SettlementClientLike injectable interface;
  settleNow() calls batchSettle() on-chain when client is provided;
  retains pending vouchers on failure for retry (H4/I5)
- SporeRelayNode: pass settlementClient to operator; add maxEventsPerSecond
  rate limiting (default 20/s) with 1-second sliding window per client (I1)
- SporeAgent: add allowedSenders/blockedSenders consent API to config;
  allowlist takes precedence over blocklist; silently drops non-consented
  messages before event emission (F1)
- Add 9 new tests covering settlement client injection, rate limiting,
  and consent allowlist/blocklist behaviour (91 total)
Unit tests added:
- NostrTransport: 15 tests — sendDm gift-wrap structure, sendGroupMessage
  tags, subscribeToDms/Groups filter setup, decodeGroupEvent parsing
- StrfryPlugin: 14 tests — accept/reject decisions, strictMode, kind:23405
  fee/expiry/recipient/sig pipeline, onClose injectable callback verified
  (no process.exit called when custom onClose is provided)

E2E tests added (tests/e2e/two-agent-dm.test.ts):
- Real crypto (no mocks), real WebSocket relay, real SQLite
- Alice→Bob DM round-trip with NIP-17 gift wrap verified
- Bob→Alice reply verified
- Relay deduplication: same event not delivered twice
- Consent blocklist: blocked sender messages silently dropped
- Allowed sender (Carol→Dave) not affected by Eve being blocked

Total: 120 unit tests + 6 E2E tests (all passing)

Also added docs/Spore_XMTP_Parity_Roadmap.md:
- Full XMTP v3 capability gap table
- M5-M11 milestone plan (~5 months to full parity)
- Remaining test TODOs per milestone
CRIT-1: Verify seal Schnorr signature in NostrTransport.unwrapDm() before
  trusting seal.pubkey as the true sender. Without this, any relay could
  inject a spoofed seal to impersonate an arbitrary Nostr identity.

CRIT-3: Add injectable verifyVoucherSig callback to ChannelBridgeConfig.
  Without offline sig verification, an attacker can spam fake high-amount
  vouchers to force expensive on-chain submitVoucher() calls that waste gas.

HIGH-2: Derive DM conversation IDs with SHA256(sorted pubkeys) instead of
  a colon-joined string — trivially collidable via crafted pubkeys.

HIGH-3: Eliminate modulo bias in randomTimestampInLastDay() using rejection
  sampling. The 172800s window does not evenly divide 2^32.

HIGH-8: Verify Nostr event id + Schnorr sig in SporeAgent.handleBridgeEvent()
  before routing to a bridge. Events may arrive from third-party relays
  that do not enforce NIP-01 signature validation.

MED-1: Set this.running = true only after all subscriptions are established.

MED-2: Wrap async subscription callbacks with .catch() to prevent unhandled
  promise rejections bubbling to Node.js process-level uncaught rejection.

MED-3: Add 'valid_before_too_far' to X402RejectReason union type (was
  returned at runtime but missing from the TypeScript union).

TS-2: Widen unhandledError event signature to accept
  MessageContext | ConversationContext | null.

All 120 unit tests pass (78 messaging + 42 message-relay).
…llMessages

Add M5 Conversations API to SporeAgent, providing full history + streaming access:

- agent.listConversations(opts?)
    Returns known conversations sorted by createdAt desc.
    Supports type filter ('dm' | 'group' | 'all') and limit.

- agent.getMessages(convId, opts?)
    Fetches history from relay for a known conversation.
    DMs: queries kind:1059 gift-wraps (#p filter), decrypts via NostrTransport.
    Groups: queries kind:11 events (#h filter).
    Supports limit/since/until pagination. Results sorted by sentAt asc.

- agent.streamAllMessages(opts?)
    Returns AsyncGenerator<MessageContext> backed by 'message' event queue.
    Stops on AbortSignal or pre-aborted signal (returns immediately).

NostrTransport: expose decryptDm() and decodeGroup() as public wrappers
  around the private unwrapDm() and decodeGroupEvent() methods.

types.ts: add ListConversationsOptions, GetMessagesOptions, StreamAllMessagesOptions.

Tests: 15 new unit tests covering all M5 API surface (93 total, all passing).
…Member, getGroupInfo

M6 adds a stateful group management layer on top of NIP-29 group events.

NostrTransport:
  - KIND_GROUP_META (9000), KIND_GROUP_ADD (9001), KIND_GROUP_REMOVE (9002) constants
  - sendGroupMeta() — publish kind:9000 metadata (name, picture, description)
  - sendGroupMembership() — publish kind:9001/9002 add/remove member events

SporeAgent:
  - createGroup(opts?) — generate groupId, store conversation, publish meta + initial members
  - addGroupMember(groupId, pubkey) — idempotent; updates local state + publishes kind:9001
  - removeGroupMember(groupId, pubkey) — idempotent; updates local state + publishes kind:9002
  - getGroupInfo(groupId) — returns GroupInfo snapshot (members copy, not reference)

Security properties:
  - Idempotency: duplicate add/remove calls are silently no-ops (no extra relay events)
  - getGroupInfo() returns a copy of members array; mutations don't affect stored state
  - createGroup() uses Node.js crypto.randomBytes(32) for group ID generation

types.ts: add CreateGroupOptions, GroupInfo.
index.ts: export new kinds + types.

Tests: 22 new unit tests (115 total across 5 test files, all passing).
…ctionCodec, ReplyCodec, RemoteAttachmentCodec

M7 adds a pluggable content type codec system (mirrors XMTP ContentTypeCodec API).

Architecture:
  - SporeCodec<T>: encode(T)→string, decode(string)→T, fallback?(string)→string
  - SporeContentTypeId: { authority, type, version } → serializes to "a/t/v"
  - CodecRegistry: Map-backed lookup, pre-loaded with TextCodec
  - Wire format: event content = encoded payload; ['ct', 'a/t/v'] tag = type id

Built-in codecs:
  - TextCodec ('spore/text/1.0'): passthrough for plain text (default)
  - ReactionCodec ('spore/reaction/1.0'): {emoji, action, referencedMessageId}
    NIP-25 compat: fallback() returns just the emoji
  - ReplyCodec ('spore/reply/1.0'): {text, referencedMessageId}
    NIP-10 compat: transport still sets the 'e reply' tag
  - RemoteAttachmentCodec ('spore/remote-attachment/1.0'):
    {url, filename, mimeType, sizeBytes?, contentDigest?, paymentRequired?}
    contentDigest allows receiver integrity verification after download

NostrTransport:
  - SendDmOptions + SendGroupMessageOptions gain optional contentTypeId?
  - When set, ['ct', contentTypeId] tag added to rumor/group event
  - Decoders (unwrapDm, decodeGroupEvent) now extract ct tag → SporeMessage.contentTypeId

SporeAgent:
  - codecRegistry: CodecRegistry (pre-loaded with TextCodec)
  - registerCodec(codec): this — for chaining
  - sendTypedMessage(conv, typeId, content): encodes + sends with ct tag
  - handleIncomingMessage: calls decodeMessageContent() to populate decodedContent

MessageContext:
  - getDecodedContent<T>(): T | null — typed access to decoded payload
  - isContentType(ContentTypeId): boolean — content type check
  - sendReaction(emoji, action?): uses ReactionCodec when registered, fallback to plain text
  - sendReply(text): uses ReplyCodec when registered, fallback to NIP-10 e-tag plain text
  - sendAttachment(attachment): uses RemoteAttachmentCodec, fallback to URL string

Tests: 37 new unit tests (152 total across 6 test files, all passing).
Add SporeIdentityRegistry for NIP-01 profile publishing/fetching and
NIP-29-style kind:10001 device list management. SporeAgent exposes
publishProfile, fetchProfile, linkDevice, unlinkDevice, getLinkedDevices,
and isLinkedDevice.

Security fixes applied during review:
- Verify Schnorr signatures on all relay-returned events (fetchProfile,
  fetchProfiles, fetchDeviceList) to defend against relay spoofing
- Apply extra fields before reserved keys in publishProfile so that
  caller-supplied eth_address/name/etc. cannot be overridden by extra

26 unit tests covering all registry and SporeAgent M8 methods.
Add SporeKeyAgreement module implementing a NIP-104 compatible group
key agreement protocol with three new event kinds:

  kind:443  KeyPackage  — device broadcasts secp256k1 ECDH public key
  kind:444  Welcome     — epoch key delivered via NIP-17 gift-wrap DM
  kind:445  Group msg   — ChaCha20-Poly1305 with shared epoch key

Epoch key lifecycle:
  epoch-0  = randomBytes(32)
  epoch-n  = HKDF-SHA256(epoch-n-1, "", "spore-mls-next-epoch")

SporeAgent M9 API: publishKeyPackage, fetchKeyPackages, createMlsGroup,
sendMlsMessage (with optional epoch ratchet), decryptMlsMessage,
processWelcome.

Security: relay-returned events are Schnorr-verified before use;
decryptMlsMessage verifies event sig before decrypting; Welcome parser
validates all required fields strictly. 33 unit tests.
Simplification:
- Extract hexToBytes/bytesToHex into shared src/utils/hex.ts; remove 5
  duplicate inline implementations across crypto, identity, transport,
  payment, and keyagreement modules
- Remove duplicate MlsGroupState/MlsWelcomePayload from SporeKeyAgreement
  (canonical definitions live in types.ts)
- Standardize ChannelBridge and UserOpBridge tag parsing to use shared
  parseTagsToObject() instead of duplicated new Map() inline pattern

Security fixes:
- hexToBytes now validates hex characters and rejects odd-length strings
- UserOpBridge: reject malformed callData (<72 bytes) instead of silently
  falling back to potentially wrong target/selector values
- SporeIdentityRegistry: validate eth_address format with /^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$/
  before casting to `0x${string}`
- X402Bridge: validate amount/valid_before are numeric strings before
  BigInt() conversion; return distinct 'invalid_tag_format' error

Test updates:
- Replace non-hex fixture strings ('priv'.padEnd(64,'0')) with valid hex
  ('abcd'.padEnd(64,'0')) in all test files
- Update UserOpBridge allowlist tests to use proper 72-byte callData
- Add test for malformed_calldata rejection
- Replace Buffer.from().equals() comparisons with a bytesEqual() helper
  to avoid TypeScript strict-typing issues with Buffer vs Uint8Array
CRIT-1: Fix misleading security model comment in UserOpBridge — authorizationSig
  is fully verified via secp256k1 ecrecover (not deferred to consumer).

CRIT-2: Add FileNonceStore to NonceStore.ts — JSON-file backed store that survives
  process restarts, eliminating nonce replay vulnerability on restart. Exported as
  part of the public API alongside InMemoryNonceStore. Warn clearly in docs that
  InMemoryNonceStore must not be used in production.

CRIT-3: ChannelBridgeConfig is now a discriminated union requiring either
  verifyVoucherSig (EIP-712 offline verifier) or skipVoucherSigVerification: true
  (testing only). This prevents gas-wasting spam submissions at the type level.

H1: X402Bridge maxValidBeforeWindowSeconds default reduced from 7 days to 24 hours,
  preventing long-lived pre-signed authorizations from being replayed.

H2: Expanded callData layout comments in UserOpBridge to name the SimpleAccount
  execute(address,uint256,bytes) ABI assumption explicitly, with selector byte layout.
Exposes an XMTP-compatible REST API over SporeAgent so external clients
(Python, Go, mobile apps) can use the Spore Protocol without the Nostr SDK.

API surface:
  POST /api/v1/messages/send          — send NIP-17 DM
  GET  /api/v1/conversations          — list known conversations
  GET  /api/v1/messages?peer=<hex>    — fetch messages with a peer
  GET  /api/v1/stream                 — Server-Sent Events stream
  GET  /api/v1/health                 — liveness probe

Security hardening (all findings from security review addressed):
  - Bearer token auth via crypto.timingSafeEqual (prevents timing oracle)
  - maxBodyBytes (default 65536) with proper drain-before-413 logic
  - maxSseClients (default 100) — 429 when exceeded (prevents memory DoS)
  - requestTimeoutMs (default 30s) socket timeout (prevents slow-client DoS)
  - Internal errors logged server-side only; 500 returns 'internal_server_error'
  - contentType field validated against MIME pattern /^[\w-]+\/[\w\-+.]+$/
  - limit param clamped to [1, 200] (prevents negative values)
  - X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff on all JSON responses

23 unit tests covering all routes, auth enforcement, SSE, body size limit.
RateLimiter (token-bucket, injectable store):
  - RateLimiter.allow(key) — consume 1 token, return false when bucket empty
  - Configurable ratePerSecond, burstLimit, maxKeys (LRU eviction)
  - InMemoryRateLimitStore default; RateLimitStore interface for Redis adapters
  - RateLimiter.reset(key) — manual bucket reset for post-review allow-listing

MainnetChecklist (automated pre-deployment audit):
  Checks SEC-1 through SEC-9 covering:
    CRITICAL: wss-only relays, persistent nonce store, relay count, UserOp auth mode
    HIGH:     rate limiter, voucher sig verifier, gateway auth token, X402 window
    MEDIUM:   gateway request timeout
  runMainnetChecklist(input) returns ChecklistReport with .passed, per-check
  results, failure counts, and .summary() for human-readable output.

23 RateLimiter + 15 MainnetChecklist unit tests. Total: 258 passing.
SporeHttpGateway:
  - timingSafeEqual: pad both inputs to equal length before crypto.timingSafeEqual,
    eliminating the length-oracle dummy-work pattern (cleaner, provably safe)
  - Add inline comment clarifying http:// in URL parsing is scheme-only
  - Document convId derivation convention matches SporeAgent internals

GatewayTypes:
  - Replace loose StreamEvent interface with discriminated union
    (StreamMessageEvent | StreamConnectedEvent | StreamErrorEvent) for type safety

RateLimiter:
  - Replace O(n) array-based keyOrder with Set<string> for O(1) has/add/delete
  - Eviction now uses Set.values().next() (O(1)) instead of shift() (O(n))
  - Eliminates quadratic worst-case in maxKeys eviction path

MainnetChecklist:
  - Remove unused pass() and fail() helpers — inline into check() directly

ChannelBridge:
  - Sanitize error messages: channel_fetch_failed and settlement_failed
    (raw exception strings no longer leak to callers; logged server-side)
  - Remove redundant 'verifyVoucherSig' in this.config type guard —
    TypeScript's discriminated union already narrows correctly

NonceStore (FileNonceStore):
  - Wrap JSON.parse in try/catch; gracefully degrade on corrupted files
    with a console.warn instead of throwing in constructor
