Tier 3 of a protest-hardening review. The BLE mesh is already properly
fenced off from network reachability and needs nothing here; every gap is
on the internet side, or in how someone gets a build they can trust.
Say when Tor is blocked. The bootstrap poll loop simply ended at its
75-second deadline, leaving isStarting true with no further state, so a
network that blocks Tor was indistinguishable from a slow one and the UI
said "starting tor…" indefinitely. TorManager now exposes
bootstrapDidStall and posts .TorBootstrapDidStall, and the app reports
that mesh messaging still works while internet delivery is paused. It is
cleared on each new start or restart, so a later attempt can report again.
Let relays be added by hand. The four built-in relays are well-known
clearnet hostnames, which is four names for a censor to block and no
recourse short of a new build. NostrRelaySettings persists up to eight
additional relays, normalized, .onion accepted, with a settings editor.
They join the same target set as the built-ins and are subject to the
same activation policy. Removal reconciles against the previous set:
the teardown path iterates the current targets, so without that a removed
relay's socket and queued sends would linger — covered by a test that
fails without it. The merged list is cached rather than recomputed,
because allowedRelayList consults it once per candidate URL and would
otherwise read UserDefaults inside that loop.
Stop stranding people who denied location. The activation gate required
location permission or a mutual favorite, but teleporting into a geohash
requires neither, so someone with no permission and no favorites could
sit in a channel that never connected while Tor and the relays stayed
suppressed and nothing said why. Being in a location channel is now a
third arm of the gate, in both the activation service and the relay
manager's copy of the policy, and leaving the channel closes it again.
Stop burning the Tor timeout when Tor is off. GeoRelayDirectory awaited
Tor readiness unconditionally, but with the preference off TorManager has
been shut down, so every refresh spent the full bootstrap deadline and the
directory froze on its cached copy. It now keys on the preference, not on
live readiness: Tor wanted but unavailable must still skip the fetch
rather than fall back to clearnet.
Say what turning Tor off costs. The toggle's copy described it as
hiding your IP "for location channels", understating both scope and
consequence. It now names private messages too, and while the toggle is
off the settings screen states that every relay can see the device IP.
Make builds verifiable. There was no release verification of any kind:
no signatures, no checksums, no documented procedure. Post-takedown that
is the acute gap, because mirrors appear and people install whatever they
can find during a shutdown. source-manifest.yml publishes a per-tag
SHA-256 manifest with a provenance attestation, self-checking before it
publishes, and docs/VERIFYING-A-BUILD.md explains how to verify source and
states plainly that compiled builds from anywhere but the App Store cannot
be verified. It also records the gaps honestly: no published signing key,
no reproducible build, no non-GitHub mirror.
docs/TOR-INTEGRATION.md was substantially stale — it documented a
torrc, SOCKSPort and ControlPort that the in-process Arti client does not
use, and claimed there are no user-visible settings — so it is rewritten,
including the deferred gap below.
Deferred: no Tor bridges or pluggable transports. arti-client is built
without pt-client or bridge-client and bootstraps from stock config, so
in a country that blocks Tor outright there is still no circumvention
path — only a clear report that there isn't. Closing it needs the Rust
features, bridge config through the FFI, and an xcframework rebuild under
the pinned toolchain with a provenance update, which is its own change.

Moves inbound Nostr Schnorr verification and NIP-17 gift-wrap decryption off the main actor into per-relay bounded AsyncStream pipelines (parallel across relays, ordered per relay), dedups before crypto, and removes the redundant second re-verify in NostrInboundPipeline/GeoPresenceTracker. Adds a panic-wipe generation counter so in-flight decrypts are discarded after a wipe.
Rebased onto main; #1451's 256 KiB pre-parse byte cap and tag limits are preserved and still enforced before any crypto/allocation.
Centralize PTT and voice audio-session ownership, harden courier/bridge/outbox delivery and recovery, correct location and delivery-state races, add privacy/release metadata, and ship reproducible universal Arti slices with Release CI coverage.
Validated by the full iOS suite, repeated audio/fragment/performance regressions, BitFoundation tests, strict lint and dead-code analysis, universal iOS Release builds, and iOS/macOS archives.
Periphery 3.7.4 audit of both schemes (macOS + iOS, intersected so
platform-specific code is never touched), with test targets indexed and
the share extension built. 277 dead declarations removed or demoted:
dead forwarding wrappers (ChatViewModel+Nostr/+PrivateChat), removed-
feature remnants (autocomplete command suggestions, back-swipe tuning,
MediaSendError, GeohashParticipantTracker), unused Tor dormancy
bindings, assign-only properties, unused parameters (renamed to _), and
redundant public accessibility. 13 orphaned localization keys deleted
across all 29 locales (old pre-#1392 location-notes UI, app_info
warnings).
Two real tests were flagged as unused because they never ran: Swift
Testing methods missing @Test (NostrProtocolTests.
testAckRoundTripNIP44V2_Delivered, NotificationStreamAssemblerTests.
testAssemblesCompressedLargeFrame). Re-armed both; they pass.
Deliberately kept, now recorded in .periphery.baseline.json: iOS-only
code invisible to the CI macOS scan, C FFI signatures, keep-alive
NWPathMonitor reference, InboundEventKey.eventID (dedup semantics),
wifiBulk capability bit (reserved for Wi-Fi bulk work, used by
BitFoundation package tests), and the String secureClear cluster
(exercised by package tests).
New: .periphery.yml config and an advisory Dead Code CI job (mirrors
the SwiftLint precedent from #1361) that fails on findings not in the
committed baseline.
Verified: full macOS app suite, BitFoundation (119) and BitLogger (13)
package tests green; periphery scan --strict exits clean.

EOSE callbacks parked while Tor is bootstrapping now get a fallback
unblock at the standard 10s EOSE timeout (via the injected scheduler,
generation-guarded, single-fire) instead of waiting up to ~225s for
Tor-readiness retry exhaustion. The identity swap in
refreshPeerIdentity runs inside a messageQueue barrier with re-entrancy
guard, so a panic reset can no longer race in-flight packet builds
(deadlock analysis documented; both call paths verified off-queue).
Relay send-queue overflow drops now log a sampled warning.

MessageRouter outbox drops (attempt cap, TTL expiry in flush and
cleanup, per-peer overflow eviction) now invoke onMessageDropped, wired
to mark the message .failed in the ConversationStore - guarded so a
late failure never downgrades an already delivered/read status.
NostrRelayManager pending subscriptions gain a per-relay cap (64,
oldest-by-sequence eviction; durable intent still replays from
subscriptionRequestState) and a 10-minute age sweep on the existing
connect path. Reconnect backoff gets injectable +/-20% jitter so
recovering relays don't thundering-herd.

* Make location notes robust: durable relay subscriptions, failure decay, auto-recovery
Location notes (and geohash chat / DMs) intermittently stopped showing
events because the Nostr relay layer lost subscriptions and blacklisted
relays:
- Replay active subscriptions on every relay (re)connect. Relays drop
REQs with the socket; previously a drop silently killed the
subscription on that relay for the rest of the session. Durable
subscription intent now also survives disconnect()/resetAllConnections
(background -> foreground).
- Keep failed REQ sends queued instead of dropping them.
- Raise the EOSE fallback from a fixed 2s Timer to a 10s injected
schedule (Tor needs more than 2s), and settle EOSE trackers when a
relay disconnects before answering so initial load doesn't stall.
- Decay "permanently failed" relay markings after a 10-minute cooldown;
previously ~9 minutes of outage (or one DNS hiccup) excluded a relay
until app restart, with nothing resetting it on macOS.
- Make geo relay selection deterministic (distance, then host) so
publishers and subscribers with the same directory agree on relays.
- Post .geoRelayDirectoryDidRefresh after a directory fetch and let
LocationNotesManager auto-resubscribe out of the "no relays" state
instead of requiring a manual retry.

* Guard subscription activation on connection identity
A REQ send completion from a dead socket could land after
handleDisconnection cleared the relay's subscriptions and re-mark the
subscription active, making the next connection skip the durable replay
and leave that relay silent. Only mark a subscription active if the
completing socket is still the relay's live connection.
Regression test defers send completions in the mock so the stale
completion deterministically interleaves between disconnect and
reconnect.
Addresses Codex review on #1333.

NostrRelayManager no longer strands work when Tor is slow to bootstrap:
failed readiness waits retry (bounded by nostrTorReadyMaxWaitAttempts)
instead of dropping queued relay connections, parked EOSE callbacks fire
after exhaustion so callers never hang, and sends made before Tor is
ready are queued locally (capped) instead of being dropped on a failed
wait - still strictly fail-closed.
MessageRouter now prefers a connected transport over a merely
window-reachable one, and sends made on a weak reachability signal are
retained in the outbox until a delivery/read ack confirms receipt
(receivers dedup by message ID), with resends bounded by attempt count.
GCS sync filters from the wire are bounds-checked (p in 1...32, m > 1)
at both the packet decode and filter decode layers; oversized Golomb
parameters previously decoded to garbage via silent shift overflow.
BLELinkStateStore is now explicitly pinned to bleQueue: debug builds
trap any access from another queue, enforcing the ownership discipline
the surrounding code already relied on by convention.
CI gains an iOS simulator build job (arm64 only; the vendored Arti
xcframework has no x86_64 simulator slice) so iOS-conditional code
paths are compile-checked - SPM tests only cover the macOS slice.
