docs(plan): record why infinite scroll does not apply to the order book - #374
Conversation
Add PR 3.8 as a conditional entry: the list is already lazy, the relay cannot be paged, and the real cost at 1k orders is the snapshot pipeline Phases 2-3 already address. The only variant worth keeping is a windowed query over the bridge, gated on the Phase 5.2 measurements.

Both review bots flagged that get_orders(filters, offset, limit) over a live sorted book can skip or duplicate orders when a mutation lands before the offset between two page requests. Replace the positional sketch with a keyset cursor + book revision contract (reusing the revision PR 3.1 introduces), spell out how deltas before/inside/after the window affect membership, and extend the verification to cover those mutations.

Reviewed at 60a1a8d1, merged locally against current main (6261924). Docs only, merges clean, lands as 3.8 between 3.7 and Phase 4 — placement is right.
The reasoning is sound and this belongs in the plan. One of the three file:line references points at the wrong code, though, and in an entry whose whole purpose is "so the reasoning is not redone from the same static reading", sending the reader to the wrong place is exactly the failure it is trying to prevent. It is a one-line fix.
Blocking: orders.rs:1227 is not the order-book subscription
The text says:
The book is one relay subscription on kind 38383 filtered by author (
rust/src/api/orders.rs:1227).
That line is something else — it is the kind 14 per-trade filter inside subscribe_daemon_messages:
// orders.rs:1227
let filter = nostr_sdk::Filter::new()
.kind(nostr_sdk::Kind::PrivateDirectMessage)
.author(mostro_pubkey)
.pubkey(trade_pubkey)
.limit(0);And it carries a deliberate .limit(0) — so a reader following the pointer to check the claim that ".limit() is a hint that truncates the market silently" lands on a subscription that uses limit on purpose, and can conclude the opposite of what the paragraph says.
The book's subscription is:
rust/src/api/orders.rs:2858-2860—subscribe_node_filterscallsall_orders_filter(&mostro_pubkey)and subscribes under the stablemostro-ordersid;- and the filter itself is at
rust/src/nostr/order_events.rs:217-221:pub fn all_orders_filter(mostro_pubkey: &PublicKey) -> Filter { Filter::new() .kind(Kind::from(KIND_ORDER)) .author(*mostro_pubkey) }
That is the pointer that carries the sentence: kind 38383, author-pinned, no limit, no cursor. I would cite nostr/order_events.rs:217.
Worth noting the test plan says "file:line references checked against main" — this one was not.
Everything else checks out
home_screen.dart:83— exactlyreturn ListView.separated(with anitemBuilder. The "the list is already lazy" claim is correct.home_screen.dart:256—loading: () => const OrderListSkeleton(). The skeleton does exist.- "the Rust
OrderFilterspath is dead code today" — confirmed: both call sites (app_bootstrap.dart:320,home_order_providers.dart:151) passfilters: null. - "the book revision PR 3.1 already introduces" — 3.1 does require "a monotonic revision on the book", so the new contract builds on something already written rather than inventing a concept.
- "PR 1.6, withdrawn" — consistent with the 1.6 entry.
- The window contract is the good part: keyset instead of offset, revision to drop stale deltas, the three delta cases (before / inside / after the window) and the refill after evictions. That is the classic paging-over-a-live-list bug, addressed before anyone writes the code — which is when it is worth addressing.
And I measured the one number it states. The text says a thousand events is "about a megabyte". I pulled 50 real kind 38383 events from the node at wss://relay.mostro.network:
events=50 mean=653 B min=631 max=905
projection for 1000 events = 0.62 MB
So the claim is right to an order of magnitude and conservative by ~60%. "roughly 650 KB" is the measured figure if you want it exact.
Minor
-
The entry introduces a "CONDITIONAL" category the phase header does not account for. Phase 3 opens with "Ordered; 3.2 depends on 3.1, 3.3 on 3.2", and the milestone table defines M4 = Phase 3 done. With a 3.8 that may never be built, "Phase 3 done" becomes ambiguous. A clause in the phase header ("3.8 is conditional and does not count towards M4") closes it.
-
Context, not this PR's fault: the document still says "Status: implemented" for Phases 1 and 2 (lines 31 and 177) when only 4 of those 19 PRs are merged. This PR correctly does not touch those lines, but every docs PR that lands without correcting them entrenches the error. Since the author has to touch the file anyway for the reference fix, it is a cheap moment to fix the two banners as well.
What I could not verify
- That the central premise holds at scale: "ten thousand orders in memory do not slow the scroll itself" is correct in principle for a lazy
ListView, but nobody has measured it at 10k. The entry acknowledges this by gating itself on the PR 5.2 measurements, which do not exist yet.
With the reference corrected, this goes in as is.
- Point the order-book subscription reference at the code that carries the sentence: `all_orders_filter` (nostr/order_events.rs:217) and its `mostro-orders` subscription (orders.rs:2858). orders.rs:1227 is the per-trade kind 14 filter, which uses `.limit(0)` on purpose and read as the opposite of the point being made. - State that PR 3.8 is conditional and does not count towards M4 in the Phase 3 header, so "Phase 3 done" stays unambiguous. - Replace "about a megabyte" with the measured figure (~650 KB per 1k events, from 50 live events on relay.mostro.network). - Correct the Phase 1 and Phase 2 status banners: they said "implemented" while most of those PRs are still open.

Reviewed at e4f3075, merged locally against current main. Docs only, merges clean.
The round-2 fixes all landed: the subscription sentence now points at all_orders_filter instead of orders.rs:1227, the Phase 3 header carries the conditional/M4 clause, the size figure is the measured 650 KB, and both status banners were corrected. Thank you for the last one especially — it was outside this PR's scope.
Changes requested anyway, for a reason that is nobody's fault: between the last round and today, main overtook the entry's central paragraph. Since this entry exists precisely so the reasoning "is not redone from the same static reading", merging it while it describes a network layer that no longer exists reproduces the failure the previous round blocked on.
Blocking 1 — "The network cannot be paged" is out of date since #379 (merged Sep 3, one day after this branch's last push)
The entry says:
The book is one relay subscription on kind 38383 filtered by author —
all_orders_filter(rust/src/nostr/order_events.rs:217), subscribed under the stablemostro-ordersid bysubscribe_node_filters(rust/src/api/orders.rs:2858).
On main today it is two subscriptions, and all_orders_filter is no longer subscribed at all — it is only the builder the other two derive from (rust/src/api/orders.rs has zero calls to it now):
// order_events.rs:240 / :250
pub fn pending_orders_filter(pk) -> all_orders_filter(pk).custom_tag(s, "pending") // no since, no limit
pub fn recent_orders_filter(pk, since) -> all_orders_filter(pk).since(since) // time-windowedchosen by order_book_filters (orders.rs:3481) inside subscribe_node_filters (orders.rs:3506), under the ids mostro-orders and mostro-orders-recent.
Two consequences, and the second is substantive rather than cosmetic:
- The sentence "
since/untilwindows do not work either" now reads as contradicted by the code:recent_orders_filteruses.since()on purpose. It remains true that they do not work as a paging mechanism for the pending book, but as written, a reader following the pointer concludes the opposite — which is exactly what madeorders.rs:1227and its deliberate.limit(0)a blocker last round. - A new fact appeared that belongs in this very entry. #379's own comment in
subscribe_node_filterssays: "relays cap how many stored events they replay per REQ (relay.mostro.network: 300, oldest-first when no limit is given), so a barekind+authorfilter comes back with the node's dead history and none of the live book." So the market is already truncated today — not by a.limit()of ours, but by the relay's replay cap, and the fix was to split the query. An entry whose argument is "the network cannot be paged and does not need to be" has to account for that, or the next reader finds it refuted by the code it points at.
Blocking 2 — the status banners are wrong again, in the other direction
You had them corrected from "implemented" to "in progress" last round. Today everything they list as open is merged. Checked PR by PR against the API:
| the banner says | reality today |
|---|---|
| Phase 1: "Still open: #355, #356, #357" | #355 (Sep 2), #356 (Sep 4), #357 (Sep 3) — all three merged |
| Phase 2: "#360 merged; #361–#369 open" | #361–#369 all nine merged, two of them today (#365, #367) |
Five of those merges happened after this branch's last push, so this is not carelessness — it is that a document carrying a per-PR status ledger rots within days. The cheap fix is to update it (both phases are complete now). The durable one is to stop keeping the ledger here: list the PRs without adjudicating their state, or point at the milestone, which is where status actually lives.
Minor — three of the four file:line pointers died in five days
Checked at this branch's merge base (195b93c) and against main today:
| reference | at the merge base | on main today |
|---|---|---|
home_screen.dart:83 |
return ListView.separated( ✓ |
currencyFlags: flags, — the list was extracted to lib/features/home/widgets/order_book_list.dart:58 by 721a00e, the review round on #357 |
home_screen.dart:256 |
loading: () => const OrderListSkeleton(), ✓ |
a comment; the skeleton is now at :227 |
orders.rs:2858 |
the all_orders_filter call ✓ |
peer-reveal ECDH code |
order_events.rs:217 |
pub fn all_orders_filter ✓ |
still correct |
The only one that survived is the one last round insisted be cited by symbol. That is the lesson for the rest: anchor on the symbol (OrderBookList, pending_orders_filter, subscribe_node_filters) and let the line number be orientation, not the pointer.
The underlying claim still holds, for the record: the list is lazy — ListView.separated with an itemBuilder at order_book_list.dart:58, and the grid variant at :89.
What I verified
- Merge with today's
main: clean. - All four references, at the merge base and on
main, line by line (table above). - The real state of all 19 PRs named in the two banners, one by one.
- That
all_orders_filteris no longer subscribed (zero call sites inrust/src/api/orders.rs) and what replaced it, including the tests that pin the new pair's contract (pending_orders_filter_is_author_pinned_and_status_scoped,recent_orders_filter_is_windowed_and_status_agnostic). - When it changed:
25b95d7→ PR #379, merged Sep 3. - "the Rust
OrderFilterspath is dead code today" — still true:app_bootstrap.dart:320andhome_order_providers.dart:198both passfilters: null(the second moved from :151, but the entry does not cite it). - Internal consistency: PR 5.2 exists (line 483) and the monotonic revision the window contract reuses is in 3.1 (lines 352-353). The M4 clause is in place in the Phase 3 header.

448-453: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winDefine boundary-crossing and reordering behavior for deltas.
The contract says to update an in-window order “in place” and to ignore orders after the window. It does not define an order moving from after the window into the window, or a sort-key change that reorders an order while it remains inside the window. An implementation can omit an eligible order or render the window out of order.
Define rules for old-to-new membership transitions: insert and refill for outside-to-inside, evict and refill for inside-to-outside, reposition for inside-to-inside rank changes, and ignore only outside-to-outside changes. Extend the verification cases in Lines 459-463 for these transitions.
