Previously, NoiseSessionManager would reject handshake initiations if it had an existing established session. This caused deadlocks when one peer cleared their session (e.g., after decryption failure) but the other peer rejected the new handshake.
Changes:
- NoiseSessionManager now always accepts handshake initiations, clearing any existing session
- Added comprehensive tests for handshake recovery scenarios
- Tests verify proper re-establishment after decryption failures and nonce desynchronization
Always accept handshake initiations even with valid sessions, as the peer must have cleared their session for a good reason (e.g., decryption failure). This prevents deadlock where one peer has no session while the other maintains an invalid one.
- Add test for peer restart detection and session recovery
- Add test for nonce desynchronization detection
- Add test for concurrent encryption thread safety
- Add test for session stale detection
- Add test for handshake after decryption failure
- Add integration test for peer presence tracking and reconnection
- Add integration test for encrypted messages after peer restart
These tests ensure:
- Sessions properly recover when a peer restarts
- Nonce desynchronization is detected correctly
- Encryption operations are thread-safe under concurrent load
- Identity announcements are sent on reconnection after silence
- Encrypted messages work after session re-establishment
- Add peer presence tracking with lastHeardFromPeer to detect reconnections
- Automatically send identity announcement when detecting peer reconnection after 30s
- Clear stale sessions when receiving handshake from recently-seen peer (likely restart)
- Add peers to activePeers when successfully decrypting their messages
- Fix thread safety in handshake coordinator with concurrent collections
- Extend message delivery timeouts (30s→120s private, 60s→180s room, 300s→600s favorite)
- Add per-peer encryption queues to prevent nonce desynchronization
- Make NoiseSession encrypt/decrypt operations thread-safe with barrier flag
- Initialize lastSuccessfulMessageTime when handshake completes
- Send identity announcement when decryption fails to prompt session reset
- Improve handshake state logging and debugging
This fixes:
- Peers stuck in "establishing encryption" after restart
- Nonce desynchronization causing "Decryption failed at nonce N"
- Asymmetric peer visibility (one peer sees the other but not vice versa)
- Thread safety issues causing crashes with pendingPrivateMessages
- Sessions marked as stale immediately after establishment
When panic mode is triggered (triple tap on logo), it now properly clears:
- All handshake coordinator states
- Handshake attempt times
- Notifies UI that all peers are disconnected
This fixes the issue where handshake states would persist after clearing identity, causing confusion when the device showed "zero peers connected" but still had established handshake states in logs.
Also ensures UI is properly notified to update the peer list to empty.
Added multiple UI update triggers to ensure the lock icon updates:
1. In onPeerAuthenticated callback when handshake completes
2. When detecting an already established session on reconnect
This ensures the encryption status is reflected in the UI immediately after:
- Initial handshake completion
- Reconnection with existing session
- Peer authentication events
The handshake was completing successfully but the UI wasn't being notified to update the encryption status icon. Added a delegate notification after handshake completion to trigger updateEncryptionStatusForPeers() in the UI.
This ensures the lock icon changes from empty to filled when encryption is established.
When a peer restarts and gets a new peer ID, the session migration was only happening on one side, causing a state mismatch where one peer had an encrypted session but the other didn't.
Changed approach to clear the old session instead of migrating it, ensuring both peers establish a fresh handshake after ID rotation. This fixes the issue where one peer shows empty lock (no encryption) while the other shows lock with circle (encryption established).
## Summary
- Added timestamps to SecureLogger for precise timing analysis
- Implemented NoiseHandshakeCoordinator to prevent race conditions
- Added deterministic role selection based on peer ID comparison
- Implemented proper handshake state machine with retry logic
- Added duplicate message detection for handshake messages
- Improved logging and diagnostics for handshake debugging
## Details
The coordinator ensures only one peer initiates handshakes by using deterministic role selection (lower peer ID initiates). This prevents the simultaneous handshake attempts that were causing failures. The state machine tracks handshake progress and handles retries with exponential backoff.
## Testing
Successfully builds with no errors or warnings. The implementation should resolve the "establishing encryption" stuck state issue by ensuring proper handshake coordination between peers.
