Money path:
- Scoped, unbonded Nym exit for the money-path relay: the wallet dials a
relay operator's co-located exit over a MixnetStream (src/nym/streamexit.rs)
which pipes to its one relay; hostname-validated TLS end to end, no public
DNS. Anchor + fallback (never pin-only): any exit failure degrades to the
smolmix tunnel. relay.goblin.st's exit address is pinned in the relay pool
(src/nostr/pool.rs) and the maintainer gist so it bootstraps offline.
- STREAM_SETTLE bridges the open-before-accept gap so the first TLS byte is
not dropped into a stalled handshake.
- Verified end to end: two wallets complete a real gift-wrapped Grin payment
through relay.goblin.st over the exit, finalized + posted on mainnet
(src/wallet/e2e.rs, ignored live test).
Encryption:
- Adopt NIP-44 v3 for the NIP-17 gift-wrap path (G4): src/nostr/wrapv3.rs,
nip44 path dep; v3<->v3 and v3->v2 interop.
Also: mix-DNS (src/nym/dns.rs), full localization pass, GUI polish,
avatar-ring example, Android icon/script updates, GRIM deviation notes,
xrelay + connect-timing tests.
Settings now says "Manual transaction" and the privacy row reads "Messages &
lookups" opening a new Network privacy page that tells the truth: messages,
names, price and avatars ride the Nym mixnet; the grin node connects directly.
README and lander updated to match.
Requests are messages, payments are final: declining a request now sends the
requester a void control message (NIP-17), a requester can cancel a request they
sent (cancels the local invoice and notifies the payer), and incoming requests
resolve the sender's verified @username instead of a bare npub. The Requested
amount on the success screen is centered. New NostrDecline/NostrCancel tasks and
a goblin-action control message carry it, bound to the stored counterparty.
Localization: every Goblin-screen string moved to t!() keys (370 keys) and
translated into de/fr/ru/tr/zh-CN, guarded by a key/placeholder drift test.
System-locale auto-detect now matches region locales like zh-CN.
- N-F1: commit the wrap/rumor/slate dedup markers immediately after the
durable receive/finalize, before the reply+sync tail, so a crash there
can't re-trigger the action on catch-up. (grin + decide() already
backstopped it; this closes the window cleanly.)
- N-F3: prune the processed-dedup store hourly in the heartbeat, not only
at startup — a long-lived session could otherwise grow it unbounded
under fresh-keypair spam since the 30-day TTL never re-applied.
- N-F2: kept Created/SendFailed in the finalize allow-set (removing them
would strand a real send whose S1 reached the peer before we persisted
AwaitingS2) and documented why it is not a forgery vector; added a test.
- Update replay_check e2e: a same-pubkey second register is now blocked by
the name-change cooldown (fires before the one-name rule); accept either.
Validated: 35 lib tests + live nip17_slatepack_roundtrip + replay_check green.
- Remove the Node status chip from the wallet-list header; the integrated
node now lives in the cog's settings as a status + Enable/Autorun section,
with a "Node settings" button into the full stats/mining/tuning panel.
- Stop the desktop two-column rail from auto-docking the node beside the
settings screen, so the node has a single home in the cog at every width
(the full panel opens only on demand). Fixes the wide-window double-exposure.
- Prove NIP-17 payments transit the top public relays: parameterize the
nostr e2e roundtrip and add damus.io + nos.lol proofs (3/3 green).
- Add DEVELOPING.md documenting how we iterate and test (Xwayland :2 recipe,
Build N cadence, gui-sweep, e2e tests, live infra) — no secrets.
Verified live on :2: chip gone from the list; cog shows the node once
(single column, no left rail); "Node settings" opens the full panel on
demand. 34 lib tests green; nip17 roundtrip green over nrelay + damus + nos.lol.

Identity overhaul (server changes deployed to goblin.st separately):
Avatars
- profile pictures hosted on goblin.st, tied to the username: tap the
settings avatar → native image picker → 256px PNG uploaded over Tor
- letter avatars now use (background, ink) color pairs (8) keyed off the
npub, and render the first ALPHANUMERIC char — never the '@'
- custom pictures shown everywhere self/contacts appear: settings card,
home header, sidebar chip, peers strip, activity rows, send recipient
- AvatarTextures: disk cache (~/.goblin/cache/avatars) + background Tor
fetch + egui textures loaded on the UI thread; a network/Tor failure
is never cached as "no avatar" (would have stuck for 6h)
- nostr/avatar.rs mirrors the server's sniff→limits→orientation→crop→
256→re-encode-PNG pipeline so uploads are small and previews instant
Username lifecycle
- rotating the key now RELEASES the username (and deletes its avatar
server-side) instead of transferring; rotation aborts if release fails
- claim panel is one Claim button (checks then registers); registered
state shows "Registered <name>" + a Release action behind an
are-you-sure gate ("up for grabs the moment it's free")
- released names are immediately re-claimable (quarantine removed)
Other
- Tor::http_request_bytes: binary bodies + status code, for upload and
avatar download (string http_request kept as a wrapper)
- settings reordered Identity-first, then Wallet
- sidebar node card is 3 lines: status / block height / host
- profile card shows the full npub when it fits, else head…tail
34 lib tests green. Live-verified on goblin.st: upload→serve (image/png,
nosniff, immutable)→5/day limit (6th 429)→release purges avatar; a real
picture for @fartmuncher22 fetched over Tor and rendered across surfaces.

Wallet:
- identity.json (NIP-49 ncryptsec) now written 0600 in a 0700 dir so a local
user can't grind the wallet password offline (+ regression test).
- Wallet password held as a ZeroingString through init_nostr so it's scrubbed
on drop instead of lingering in a plain String for the session.
- Replaced 4 .unwrap() on re-read tx_meta with graceful guards (archive wipe
mid-send could otherwise panic the nostr/task thread).
- Tor::http_request/post: bind the client once via let-else and propagate TLS
builder errors, fixing a TOCTOU unwrap panic on concurrent Tor restart.
goblin-nip05d server (redeployed to goblin.st, verified live):
- One-name-per-pubkey now enforced by a partial UNIQUE index (closes the
check-then-insert race); INSERT rows-affected==0 returns 409 not a false 201.
- NIP-98 replay protection: one-time auth event-id enforcement within the
freshness window; tightened forward skew to +5s.
- Rate-limited the unauthenticated GET endpoints; SQLite in WAL mode.
- Verified live: replay rejected, second name for a pubkey blocked.
Audit verdict: fund-safety invariants (never auto-pay Invoice1; S2/I2
finalization bound to counterparty npub) and Tor-from-day-one all hold.

tests/nostr_e2e.rs (run with --ignored):
- nip17_slatepack_roundtrip: Alice gift-wraps a slatepack payment DM with a
subject to Bob over wss://nrelay.us-ea.st; Bob unwraps, the seal-author ==
sender invariant holds, the slatepack and subject extract intact.
- nip05_registration_roundtrip: registers a fresh name on goblin.st with a
real NIP-98 signature, resolves it back to the right pubkey, releases it.
Both pass against the live deployed infrastructure.
