55d51ba084 DMs to unreachable peers use store-and-forward instead of failing instantly (#1415)
* DMs to unreachable peers route through store-and-forward; drop stale reachability gates

Field-found: sendPrivateMessage pre-judged reachability and marked the
message failed without ever calling the router, so the retained outbox,
courier deposits, and bridge drops never ran — a DM composed after a
peer's reachability window lapsed was dead on arrival while an identical
one sent a minute earlier delivered. Messages now always route; a live
path earns "sent", everything else stays "sending" until the router
reports carried/delivered or expires it as failed.

A sweep for sibling gates found and fixed:
- startPrivateChat refused offline non-mutual favorites ("mutual favorite
  required for offline messaging") — store-and-forward only needs the
  recipient's noise key, so the gate and its string are gone.
- markPrivateMessagesAsRead skipped the whole receipt pass for peers
  without a stored Nostr key, starving mesh-connected non-favorites; the
  router picks the transport now (sentReadReceipts dedups the parallel
  PrivateChatManager path).
- DM/geoDM blocked notices and the unknown-group error posted to the
  active public timeline; they now land in the thread they're about via
  addLocalPrivateSystemMessage.
- Banned copy: literal "user" fallbacks in code become "anon" (the
  default-nickname convention), and es/fr/it/pt translations of four keys
  still saying usuario/utilisateur/utente/usuário now say person. Orphaned
  keys removed (system.dm.unreachable, content.delivery.reason.unreachable,
  system.chat.requires_favorite).

* Deflake BLEServiceCoreTests: longTimeout for positive waits

CI flaked on duplicatePacket_isDeduped: the first message landed after the
5s wait expired on a loaded runner (the test's later count==1 assertions
passed, proving late delivery, not lost delivery). All four positive waits
in the file now use TestConstants.longTimeout, which exists for exactly
this — waitUntil returns as soon as the condition holds, so passing runs
never pay the longer ceiling.

* Fix read-receipt test contamination; baseline Periphery noiseKey flake

Two CI failures, both environmental:

- markReadReceiptSent_returnsFalseOnSecondCall flaked because every test
  ChatViewModel shared one per-process read-receipts scratch suite; the
  lifecycle test persists the same "read-1" ID (a path the receipt-gate
  removal now reaches), and test order decided who saw whose state. Each
  instance now gets its own UUID-suffixed suite.

- Periphery intermittently misses the loadFromDisk read of
  PrekeyBundleStore.StoredBundle.noiseKey and fails --strict with a false
  "assign-only" finding (recurrence of a known flake). Its USR is
  baselined; an in-source periphery:ignore can't work because strict mode
  flags it as superfluous on runs where the indexer gets it right.

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
