Fixes the confirmed downlink/uplink defects from the PR #1384 review + Codex findings: - Downlink age + #g gate (Codex P2 / review #1): rebroadcastRelayEvent now drops events outside the same freshness window receivers enforce and whose #g tag mismatches the carrier geohash, BEFORE spending any budget — so a 1h/200-event channel-resubscribe backfill no longer burns the 30/min BLE budget on events every receiver drops. - Rate-limit + dedup before Schnorr (review #2): handleUplinkDeposit now runs cheap structural checks + carried-ID dedup + rate-token consume before isValidSignature(), so a replay flood is bounded by cheap work instead of unbounded main-actor verifies. - Quota-dropped deposits not rendered (review #3): enqueueUplink reports acceptance and injectInbound only fires for events actually published/queued, ending the local-timeline divergence. - Drain timer + mark-after-send (Codex P2 / review #4): a burst beyond budget now arms a timer to drain when the window frees; rebroadcast IDs are marked only after an event is actually sent, so overflow- dropped events stay retryable. - Symmetric publish path (review #5): the gateway publish closure now refuses when no geo relay is known, matching the local send path instead of publishing dead traffic to default relays. - Loop-rule doc (review #7): softened to reflect that rule 3 is a call-site convention with unit-tested backstops; added tests for the publishedEventIDs backstop, downlink freshness/mismatch, drain timer, and quota-drop non-injection.

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
registrymapspeerIDto aMockBLEServiceinstance;adjacencyrecords simulated links between peers. - Setup: Call
MockBLEService.resetTestBus()insetUp()to clear state between tests. - Topology: Use
simulateConnectedPeer(_:)andsimulateDisconnectedPeer(_:)to add/remove links.connectFullMesh()helpers in tests build larger topologies. - Handlers: Tests can observe data via
messageDeliveryHandler(decodedBitchatMessage) andpacketDeliveryHandler(rawBitchatPacket). - De‑duplication: A thread-safe
seenMessageIDsprevents 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 de‑duping 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 (seePublicChatE2ETests.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:
NoiseSessionManagermanages 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 initiator’s manager beforeinitiateHandshake(with:)to avoidalreadyEstablished. - 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
autoFloodEnabledtoggled only within Integration tests; always reset intearDown()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
