fix(liveness): keep wait_for_dm waiters across reconnect (MOSTRO-80) - #170
Conversation
Aborting the DM listener on a relay flap dropped in-flight oneshots, so the UI reported failure while Mostro had already processed the action. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

WalkthroughThe change adds a process-wide DM waiter registry, request-id matching, reconnect catch-up subscriptions, relay handshake validation, and taker-reputation message persistence. Listener replacement preserves in-flight waits and scopes delayed catch-up results to their original waiters. ChangesDM waiter lifecycle and routing
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A failed scheduler reconnect can leave DM waits and order/dispute fetching unavailable until a later retry, causing requests already sent to Mostro to time out.

Reviewed at exact head 29ce7741fdc1c2ec374845a3fe90cbcb07743e02 against the connectivity-flap waiter-loss report.
Blocking:
- The process-wide registry still transfers ownership of every sender out of the registry while decrypting (
take_pending_waiters→ asyncunwrap_incoming). Aborting the listener in that interval still closes the waiters and recreates the reported false-failure/desync. The existing unresolved thread is correct: #170 (comment) - Key reload still aborts the live listener before establishing a usable replacement and proceeds even when replacement connection fails. The existing unresolved thread is correct: #170 (comment)
connect_client_safely(...).awaitis not a connectivity/handshake gate: nostr-sdk 0.45.1 implementsClient::connect()asconnect().and_wait(None), which starts relay connection attempts and returns without waiting for a connected relay. The reconnect path therefore still tears down the old session immediately after a TCP-only probe.- Startup waiter catch-up runs synchronously before the notification/select loop. It fetches each unique waiter target sequentially with a 15-second timeout, so a flap can consume the original waiter timeout (and, at the 32-waiter cap, block startup for minutes) while live replies are not being processed.
Commit 29ce774 does correctly await aborted tasks and adds periodic recovery for failed dynamic subscriptions, resolving those two earlier findings.
Local validation with Rust 1.97.0: formatting passed; strict Clippy for all targets/features passed; all-feature tests passed. git diff --check still fails on trailing whitespace in docs/BUGFIX_CONNECTIVITY_WAITER_PRESERVATION.md:93 and :96. Automated success does not cover the lifecycle races above; the new tests exercise registry helpers rather than an actual listener abort/rebuild with an in-flight waiter.

Re-reviewed the pushed fixes at exact head cb12bc91deec8bd4b92c3b211d21b150f1c1cb6b.
The six previously reported implementation defects are fixed: registry senders remain owned during decrypt; key reload preserves the old session until a replacement relay is connected; reconnect aborts are joined and failed waiter subscriptions retry; reconnect/key reload use a bounded real-relay connection check; request-bearing waiters correlate before consumption and CantDo handling; and V2 waiter dispatch authenticates the configured Mostro author. Catch-up is also detached from the live notification loop and its fetches are concurrency-bounded.
One lifecycle blocker remains: the detached catch-up is not bound to the waiter/listener generation that launched it. It snapshots only (trade_pubkey, since), survives listener/key reload replacement, then applies returned events against whichever waiters are current at completion. The None flows (restore and take-dispute) intentionally accept any decoded request ID, so a stale catch-up from waiter A—or even from the previous Mostro instance—can consume later same-key waiter B. This recreates false failure/state-desync after the live winner or another rebuild. Carry immutable waiter IDs/generations (and expected Mostro generation) through each detached fetch result, or retain/cancel/join the catch-up task so stale work cannot target replacement waiters. Add the production-path stale-completion ordering test described below.
Validation: Rust 1.97.0 format passed; strict Clippy for all targets/features passed; every all-feature test target passed; 14/14 GitHub checks are green; PR is mergeable and conflict-free. Separately, git diff --check finds trailing whitespace at docs/DM_LISTENER_FLOW.md:63 (the previously named docs/BUGFIX_CONNECTIVITY_WAITER_PRESERVATION.md is indeed not present on this head).
A delayed catch-up fetch re-read the live registry, so after waiter A was satisfied a later same-key None waiter could be consumed by A's result. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Re-reviewed the pushed fix at exact head c6dfd2babb8f2554dd44d3a296771cf1719b6736 after the branch update.
The waiter IDs correctly prevent an already-snapshotted catch-up from consuming a later waiter. One blocking scheduling gap remains: the snapshot is taken inside the spawned async future, on its first poll, rather than synchronously before tokio::spawn. An old-session task that has not yet been polled can consequently snapshot a new-session waiter while retaining the old Mostro key. This remains unsafe for the intentional expected_request_id: None paths (restore/take-dispute). The added test manually snapshots before the replacement waiter is registered, so it does not cover this ordering.
Please capture the immutable waiter IDs before spawning (or enforce a session generation) and test the delayed-first-poll/key-rotation case.
Exact-head validation passed locally with Rust 1.97.0: cargo fmt --all -- --check, strict Clippy for all targets/features, and cargo test --all-features (629 library tests plus integration/doc-test targets). GitHub reports 14/14 checks successful and the rebased head mergeable/clean.
Catch-up IDs were taken on first poll of the spawned task, so an unpolled old-session catch-up could consume a new-session None waiter after key reload. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Re-reviewed exact head 61f251b51aa6f6ed4cfb035b36fe02dc13a2fada.
The waiter catch-up blocker is fixed: candidate IDs are now snapshotted synchronously before tokio::spawn and passed into the detached task, so delayed first polling cannot absorb replacement-session waiters. The new regression test covers the intended None-correlated ordering.
One blocking lifecycle issue remains, already anchored by CodeRabbit at src/ui/key_handler/async_tasks.rs:476-477: key reload aborts the order/dispute fetch schedulers but starts replacements without awaiting the old handles. An aborted task can still finish its current poll and write stale old-session results into the shared orders/disputes state after the replacement starts. Please call await_aborted_task for both handles before spawn_fetch_scheduler_loops, with a focused overlap regression.
Mechanical gate: git diff --check 7b815b0b7a2a7ccb825097fc73a0cc0fb746b10a...HEAD still fails on trailing whitespace at docs/DM_LISTENER_FLOW.md:63.

Approved exact head b7b42ee04442668767817f80d89d274396bef25c.
The last blocker is fixed: both order/dispute fetch schedulers are now aborted and joined before replacements start, preventing old-session polls from writing stale shared state. The same join discipline was also added to fetch-scheduler reload, and the focused regression passes. The prior synchronous pre-spawn waiter snapshot fix remains intact, and the documentation whitespace failure is gone.
I rechecked the latest outside-diff automated note about preflighting apply_pending_fetch_scheduler_reload before teardown. That teardown order predates this corrective delta and is distinct from the connectivity-reconnect path fixed here, which already waits for a connected relay before replacing the active session. It is reasonable follow-up hardening, not a blocker for this report fix.
Exact-head validation with Rust 1.97.0 passed cargo fmt --all -- --check, strict Clippy for all targets/features, cargo test --all-features, and git diff --check. GitHub reports 14/14 successful checks and clean mergeability. No blocking findings remain.
