b31a63ce37 Burn down SwiftLint advisory violations from 109 to 4 (#1362)
Mechanical style fixes across the enabled rule set, mostly via
swiftlint --fix (trailing_comma, comma, colon, trailing_newline,
comment_spacing, unused_closure_parameter, unneeded_break_in_switch,
opening_brace) plus hand fixes:

- non_optional_string_data_conversion (45): .data(using: .utf8)! and
  ?? Data() fallbacks replaced with the non-optional Data(_.utf8),
  including two production sites (NIP-44 HKDF info constant and the
  announce canonicalization context/nickname bytes — byte-identical
  output, only the impossible-nil handling is gone).
- switch_case_alignment: LocationChannel had a misindented closing
  brace; also repaired an --fix artifact in BLEService's .none case.
- redundant_string_enum_value: TrustLevel raw values equal to the case
  names (encoded form unchanged).
- unused_optional_binding: let _ = binds replaced with != nil / is Bool.
- static_over_final_class: PreviewView.layerClass.
- Resolved the BinaryProtocolTests TODO by documenting that 8-byte
  recipient ID truncation is the fixed wire-field size, not a bug.

The 4 remaining violations are all todo markers for a shared
test-helpers module (tracked in #1088) and one Reuse note.

Test Harness Guide

This test suite uses an in-memory networking harness to make end-to-end and integration tests deterministic, fast, and race-free without touching production code.

In-Memory Bus

  • File: bitchatTests/Mocks/MockBLEService.swift
  • Registry/Adjacency: Global registry maps peerID to a MockBLEService instance; adjacency records simulated links between peers.
  • Setup: Call MockBLEService.resetTestBus() in setUp() to clear state between tests.
  • Topology: Use simulateConnectedPeer(_:) and simulateDisconnectedPeer(_:) to add/remove links. connectFullMesh() helpers in tests build larger topologies.
  • Handlers: Tests can observe data via messageDeliveryHandler (decoded BitchatMessage) and packetDeliveryHandler (raw BitchatPacket).
  • Deduplication: A thread-safe seenMessageIDs prevents duplicate deliveries during flooding/relays.

Broadcast Flooding

  • Flag: MockBLEService.autoFloodEnabled
  • Intent: When true, public broadcasts propagate across the entire connected component (ignores TTL for reach) while still deduping to prevent loops.
  • Usage: Enabled in Integration tests (setUp) to simulate large-network broadcast; disabled in E2E tests to keep routing explicit and verify TTL behavior (see PublicChatE2ETests.testZeroTTLNotRelayed).

Rehandshake Flow (Noise)

  • Why: The legacy NACK recovery path was removed; recovery now relies on Noise session rehandshake after decrypt failure or desync.
  • Manager: NoiseSessionManager manages per-peer sessions.
  • Pattern: On decrypt failure, proactively clear the local session and re-initiate a handshake. The peer accepts and replaces their session.
  • Test: IntegrationTests.testRehandshakeAfterDecryptionFailure
    • Corrupts ciphertext to induce a decrypt error.
    • Calls removeSession(for:) on the initiators manager before initiateHandshake(with:) to avoid alreadyEstablished.
    • Verifies encrypt/decrypt succeeds post-rehandshake.

Tips

  • Determinism: Add small async delays only where handler installation/topology changes could race the first send.
  • Scoping: Keep autoFloodEnabled toggled only within Integration tests; always reset in tearDown() to avoid cross-test contamination.
  • Direct vs Relay: Private messages target a specific peer when adjacent; otherwise they are surfaced to neighbors for relay and, if known, also delivered to the target.

Quick Start

  • Create nodes and connect them:
    • let svc = MockBLEService(); svc.myPeerID = "PEER1"
    • svc.simulateConnectedPeer("PEER2")
  • Observe messages:
    • svc.messageDeliveryHandler = { msg in /* asserts */ }
  • Enable broadcast flooding for Integration suites only:
    • MockBLEService.autoFloodEnabled = true
