Strict review on current head f7aebb0d630c91493500d857a8d6cc053b6fc27e: I would approve this PR.
I re-checked the transport resolution flow, info-event signature/freshness handling, persisted protocol-version ratchet, v1/v2 receive authentication, background notification path, restore path, and the previously raised review threads. The earlier blockers appear addressed: legacy tagless info events are distinguished from unknown state, malformed protocol tags do not fall back to v1, the info-event subscription no longer inherits the 48h order cutoff, NIP-01 tie-breaking is applied, empty Mostro pubkeys fail clearly, and the tampered-seal test now reaches the intended signature check.

Review: fix: anchor transport resolution and authenticate v1 message senders
Verification performed locally (branch pr-659 @ 14f83f26, mocks regenerated): flutter analyze → 0 issues attributable to this PR (2 pre-existing deprecated_member_use infos in test/core/automation/automation_contract_test.dart); flutter test → 1114 passed, 0 failed. Branch is 15 commits behind main, no overlapping files, merges cleanly — a rebase is still pending as requested.
The direction is right and the security reasoning in the doc comments is careful: seal-author pinning + signature verification closes a real forgery hole on the v1 path, and the info-event signature/replacement checks close the relay-forgery and rollback vectors. The findings below are about the persistent ratchet, which has one design gap I consider blocking, plus a few consistency items.
🟠 Major — lib/features/mostro/protocol_version_store.dart (whole file), lib/features/mostro/transport.dart:73-95
The ratchet rejects evidence a relay cannot forge, and there is no recovery path.
anchoredProtocolVersion(advertised, remembered) takes the max regardless of when each version was asserted. The stated threat model is "a relay replaying or suppressing events". But a kind-38385 event that is (a) signature-verified, (b) accepted by _supersedesCurrentInfo, and (c) has a created_at newer than anything this client has ever seen, is not something a relay can manufacture — it is the node itself asserting v1. Today that legitimate, newer, signed assertion is discarded.
Consequences:
- mostrod 0.18.x still ships
transport = "gift-wrap". Any operator who rolls back after a bad v2 rollout permanently partitions every client that ever saw v2 from their node. Symptom is silent: sends time out, orders subscription hears nothing. ProtocolVersionStore.clear()is never called fromlib/(dead code).removeCustomNode()does not forget the node's entry,selectNode()does not either, and there is no settings action. The only way out is reinstalling the app.
Suggested fix, keeps the security property intact: persist (version, createdAt) per pubkey and only refuse a downgrade when the advertising event's created_at is older than or equal to the recorded one. A replayed pre-migration v1 event still loses (its timestamp predates the recorded v2), while a genuinely newer signed v1 event wins. Sketch:
int? anchoredProtocolVersion(AdvertisedVersion? advertised, RememberedVersion? remembered) {
if (remembered == null) return advertised?.version;
if (advertised == null) return remembered.version;
// Newer signed evidence from the node itself is authoritative in either direction;
// only an event that does not postdate the recorded one is a replay candidate.
if (advertised.createdAt.isAfter(remembered.createdAt)) return advertised.version;
return max(advertised.version, remembered.version);
}At minimum, if you prefer to keep the strict monotonic design: wire clear() / a per-pubkey forget(pubkey) into removeCustomNode(), expose a reset in the node/about screen, and state the "operator rollback is unsupported" trade-off in TRANSPORT_V2_MIGRATION.md.
🟡 Minor — docs/architecture/TRANSPORT_V2_MIGRATION.md:232-236, :276, :342-343, :367-369
Architecture doc now contradicts the code. §4.1 still says absent/unreachable → Transport.giftWrap (v1) and "degrade to v1 on an unsupported value". This PR flips both to kDefaultTransport = nip44 and adds a persisted ratchet, none of which is documented. CLAUDE.md also has no mention of ProtocolVersionStore or the new init-order requirement in appInitializerProvider. Please update both in this PR — the doc is referenced from the code comments (§4.1), so leaving it stale is actively misleading.
🟡 Minor — lib/features/mostro/mostro_instance.dart:114
MostroInstance.fromEvent still collapses malformed → 1. protocolVersion: event.protocolVersion ?? 1 reads protocol_version=abc as v1, exactly the conflation this PR introduces advertisesProtocolVersion to avoid. Only the About screen consumes it today, so it is not a transport bug, but it will display "1" for a node whose transport was actually resolved to v2. Suggest making the model field nullable or applying the same three-state logic as _advertisedBy (absent → kLegacyProtocolVersion, unparseable → null).
🟡 Minor — lib/features/mostro/transport.dart:45-55 + lib/features/subscriptions/subscription_manager.dart:116-118
Unsupported versions are recorded into the ratchet. resolveTransport(3) falls back to nip44 (fine), but _recordAdvertisedProtocolVersion will happily record(pubkey, 3), after which remembered == 3 forever and any later legitimate protocol_version=2 is anchored to 3. Today the outcome happens to be the same transport, but the store now holds a value no resolver understands, and once a v3 with a different kind exists the client is pinned with no way back (same root cause as the Major finding). Consider only recording versions that resolveTransport maps to a concrete transport, i.e. {1, 2}.
🔵 Nit — lib/data/repositories/open_orders_repository.dart:85-90
limit: 1 on the info filter is per-relay, so with N relays you may still receive N candidates; _supersedesCurrentInfo handles that correctly, but the comment above the filter reads as if a single event arrives — worth one line saying the tie-break also covers multi-relay delivery.
🔵 Nit — PR description
Says "7 atomic commits" and "1031 passing (+64)"; the branch has 12 commits and the suite is at 1114 on the current base. Please refresh after the rebase.
Test coverage notes
nip59_authentication_test.dart: the tampered-seal case now uses one ephemeral keypair for wrap author + encryption and asserts the exact'Invalid seal signature'message, so it genuinely reaches the seal check (earlier CodeRabbit finding resolved). 👍open_orders_info_event_test.dart: signature rejection, re-tagged forgery, NIP-01 tie-break and the two-filter /since-less info request are covered. 👍protocol_version_store_test.dart: reordering-safe write chain, load-merge, malformed persisted entries. 👍- Missing: a test asserting what happens when a newer signed v1 event arrives after a recorded v2. That behaviour is the product decision at the heart of the Major finding and is currently untested; whichever direction you take, add the case explicitly.
Verdict: Request changes — for the ratchet design gap (Major) and the stale architecture doc; the rest are quick follow-ups. Happy to re-review right after the rebase.

Add signature verification to OpenOrdersRepository's info event intake to prevent downgrade attacks. A relay can re-tag a genuine event with a forged protocol_version while keeping the node's real pubkey and signature triple; accepting this would pin the client to the v1 gift-wrap transport, whose intake authenticates nothing.
Add monotonic timestamp enforcement to OpenOrdersRepository's info event intake: only accept events newer than the current mostroInstance.createdAt. A relay can replay a genuinely signed but superseded info event to roll the advertised protocol_version back; signature verification alone cannot prevent this downgrade path. The timestamp check resets to null on instance switch (via updateSettings), so the newly selected node's own info event is never blocked by the previous node's timestamp.
…rade attacks Introduce ProtocolVersionStore, which remembers the highest verified protocol_version each Mostro node has ever advertised. A relay can replay a genuinely signed but superseded kind-38385 info event to downgrade the client's transport; the existing signature and timestamp checks reset on restart, so a cold start accepts the first event with nothing to compare it against.
…rsion Introduce anchoredProtocolVersion and resolveAnchoredTransport, which combine a node's current advertisement with the highest version it has previously been verified to speak, taking the maximum of the two. A relay can replay a genuinely signed but superseded info event to walk the client back to v1; the ratchet holds by refusing to accept any version claim lower than what the node has already proven.
Introduce anchoredProtocolVersionFor as the single resolution point for all send and receive paths. The dispute repository, restore manager, mostro service and subscription manager now call this instead of reading mostroInstance?.protocolVersion directly, ensuring the orders subscription and every outbound message always agree on which transport is in play.
Add expectedAuthor parameter to decryptNIP59Event, unWrap and mostroUnWrap, which verifies the seal's pubkey and signature before trusting its content. The outer wrap is signed by a throwaway ephemeral key and the rumor is unsigned by design, so the seal is the only layer that names the real sender; without this check any party able to reach a trade key could inject arbitrary Mostro messages.
…cy version semantics Introduce a write queue in ProtocolVersionStore to serialize all mutations to SharedPreferencesAsync, preventing concurrent setString/remove calls from landing out of order and resurrecting cleared state or overwriting newer snapshots with older ones. Add pendingWrites to expose flush points and _enqueueWrite to chain operations while swallowing individual failures.
…col version loss Split the subscription into two filters: one for orders with the existing time bound, one for kind-38385 info events without `since`. Info events are addressable, so a relay holds exactly one copy per node; a combined filter would hide it once the node has been up longer than the window, leaving `protocol_version` unknown for the whole session and stranding the client on kind 14 against a v1 node now that unknown resolves to v2.
…isinterpreting unknown as legacy
Introduce _supersedesCurrentInfo, which implements NIP-01's replacement rule for addressable events: higher created_at wins, and a tie goes to the lower id. The tie-break ensures all clients converge on the same copy when a node publishes multiple events within the same second, preventing relay race conditions from pinning different configs across sessions while still rejecting exact re-deliveries.
…ds to prevent session loss
…her number The store took max(advertised, remembered), so a kind-38385 event that verifies, supersedes the one in use and postdates everything this client has ever seen was still discarded whenever it asserted a lower version. That event is not something a relay can produce: a relay picks which signed events it serves, but it cannot mint one and it cannot move one forward in time without breaking the signature. Refusing it had a cost the threat model did not pay for. mostrod 0.18.x still ships transport = "gift-wrap", so an operator undoing a bad v2 rollout signs a newer v1 assertion — and every client that had ever seen v2 would refuse it, partitioning itself from the node silently, with no recovery short of reinstalling the app. Persist the assertion's created_at alongside the version and let the more recent one win, falling back to the higher version when the two share a timestamp or either cannot be dated. A replayed pre-migration v1 event still loses against a recorded v2; a genuinely newer signed v1 event is followed.
Any parseable protocol_version was recorded, v3 included. Resolution degrades an unrecognised one upwards to the safe default, but the store outlives the info event that carried it: from then on every later assertion is measured against a number no resolver understands, so the first client to meet a v3 node anchors itself to 3 and has no way back to the v2 it actually speaks. Record only versions that resolve to a concrete transport. The predicate is tryResolveTransport rather than a hardcoded set, so it cannot drift from the resolver as versions are added, and it sits in the store next to the guard it generalises — every call site gets it, and the load path drops an entry written by a build that spoke more versions than this one. Resolution is unaffected: it still reads the advertised version off the info event in hand.
MostroInstance.fromEvent collapsed the tag's three states into two with `event.protocolVersion ?? 1`, which is the conflation advertisesProtocolVersion was added to avoid. A node sending an unreadable value would be displayed as speaking v1 while its transport had resolved to v2. Make the field nullable and read the tag through a new assertedProtocolVersion: the version it names, kLegacyProtocolVersion for an absent tag, null for one present but unusable. The store's _advertisedBy now reads the tag through the same getter instead of repeating the rule, so what About displays and what the transport resolves from are one judgement. About shows the existing "unknown" string for the null case rather than a version the node never claimed.
…ption The comment above the two-filter request read as if one info event arrives. `limit: 1` bounds each relay separately, so N relays can each answer with their own candidate; say so, and point at _supersedesCurrentInfo as what converges them on one event.
TRANSPORT_V2_MIGRATION.md §4.1 still described the behaviour this branch reversed: absent or unreachable resolving to Transport.giftWrap, and an unsupported value degrading to v1. It is referenced from the code comments, so leaving it stale actively misleads. Rewrite §4.1 around what the code does: the tag's three states, the upward degrade and why its direction is a security property, and the persisted anchor — what it stores, why freshness rather than the higher number decides, what is deliberately never recorded, and the init-order requirement. Correct the same claims where they recur in §1, §2, Phase A, Phase C and §6, and record the new coverage in Phase D. CLAUDE.md gains a Transport Resolution section and the store's place in the initialization sequence, neither of which it mentioned.

What
Makes the client's choice of wire transport depend only on evidence it can verify, and authenticates the sender of protocol v1 messages.
created_at, and resolve the transport from whichever assertion is the more recent evidence.nip59.rs:201).Behaviour change
A node whose
protocol_versionis unknown now resolves to v2 (kind 14) rather than v1, matching mostrod's own default since v0.18.0. Against a node genuinely runningtransport = "gift-wrap", the client switches back to kind 1059 as soon as that node's signed info event arrives.The anchor is dated, not monotonic
A relay picks which signed events it serves, but it cannot mint one and cannot re-date one without breaking the signature. "Newer than anything this client has verified" is therefore exactly the evidence a relay cannot manufacture, and that — not the higher version number — is what the anchor compares:
transport = "gift-wrap", so an operator undoing a bad v2 rollout publishes exactly that; a monotonic ratchet would refuse it and partition every client that had ever seen v2, silently, with no recovery short of reinstalling.Two things are never recorded: a version this client cannot resolve, and an absent tag. Resolution reads an absent tag as v1 because it can see the info event is in hand; the store outlives it, and persisting 1 would let a relay resolve v1 off remembered state alone by simply withholding the event.
