WalkthroughThe PR adds persistent protocol-version anchoring and safe transport defaults. It validates Mostro info-event signatures and freshness. It authenticates NIP-59 seals and wrapped messages against the configured Mostro author. It updates peer and dispute chat handling to use derived signing keys. ChangesMostro transport and message authentication
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change improves transport selection and message authentication, but the current version still has concrete risks: one invalid chat key can disable chat subscriptions, locally sent messages may trigger duplicate notifications, and protocol records can be lost during startup; sender verification is also duplicated across unwrapping paths, increasing security-control drift risk. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Strict review on current head f7aebb0d630c91493500d857a8d6cc053b6fc27e: I would approve this PR.
I re-checked the transport resolution flow, info-event signature/freshness handling, persisted protocol-version ratchet, v1/v2 receive authentication, background notification path, restore path, and the previously raised review threads. The earlier blockers appear addressed: legacy tagless info events are distinguished from unknown state, malformed protocol tags do not fall back to v1, the info-event subscription no longer inherits the 48h order cutoff, NIP-01 tie-breaking is applied, empty Mostro pubkeys fail clearly, and the tampered-seal test now reaches the intended signature check.
Validation:

No blocking findings from my review.
Add signature verification to OpenOrdersRepository's info event intake to prevent downgrade attacks. A relay can re-tag a genuine event with a forged protocol_version while keeping the node's real pubkey and signature triple; accepting this would pin the client to the v1 gift-wrap transport, whose intake authenticates nothing.
Add monotonic timestamp enforcement to OpenOrdersRepository's info event intake: only accept events newer than the current mostroInstance.createdAt. A relay can replay a genuinely signed but superseded info event to roll the advertised protocol_version back; signature verification alone cannot prevent this downgrade path. The timestamp check resets to null on instance switch (via updateSettings), so the newly selected node's own info event is never blocked by the previous node's timestamp.
…rade attacks Introduce ProtocolVersionStore, which remembers the highest verified protocol_version each Mostro node has ever advertised. A relay can replay a genuinely signed but superseded kind-38385 info event to downgrade the client's transport; the existing signature and timestamp checks reset on restart, so a cold start accepts the first event with nothing to compare it against.
…rsion Introduce anchoredProtocolVersion and resolveAnchoredTransport, which combine a node's current advertisement with the highest version it has previously been verified to speak, taking the maximum of the two. A relay can replay a genuinely signed but superseded info event to walk the client back to v1; the ratchet holds by refusing to accept any version claim lower than what the node has already proven.
Introduce anchoredProtocolVersionFor as the single resolution point for all send and receive paths. The dispute repository, restore manager, mostro service and subscription manager now call this instead of reading mostroInstance?.protocolVersion directly, ensuring the orders subscription and every outbound message always agree on which transport is in play.
Add expectedAuthor parameter to decryptNIP59Event, unWrap and mostroUnWrap, which verifies the seal's pubkey and signature before trusting its content. The outer wrap is signed by a throwaway ephemeral key and the rumor is unsigned by design, so the seal is the only layer that names the real sender; without this check any party able to reach a trade key could inject arbitrary Mostro messages.
…cy version semantics Introduce a write queue in ProtocolVersionStore to serialize all mutations to SharedPreferencesAsync, preventing concurrent setString/remove calls from landing out of order and resurrecting cleared state or overwriting newer snapshots with older ones. Add pendingWrites to expose flush points and _enqueueWrite to chain operations while swallowing individual failures.
…col version loss Split the subscription into two filters: one for orders with the existing time bound, one for kind-38385 info events without `since`. Info events are addressable, so a relay holds exactly one copy per node; a combined filter would hide it once the node has been up longer than the window, leaving `protocol_version` unknown for the whole session and stranding the client on kind 14 against a v1 node now that unknown resolves to v2.
…isinterpreting unknown as legacy
Introduce _supersedesCurrentInfo, which implements NIP-01's replacement rule for addressable events: higher created_at wins, and a tie goes to the lower id. The tie-break ensures all clients converge on the same copy when a node publishes multiple events within the same second, preventing relay race conditions from pinning different configs across sessions while still rejecting exact re-deliveries.

chatUnwrapnow returns a rumor signed bychatKeys.sign. The later check on Line 472 compares that signer tosession.tradeKey.public. These keys are different, so the check cannot suppress a locally sent chat envelope echoed by a relay.Track locally published outer envelope IDs and suppress matching events before persistence and notification.
