Will Pfleger f7ff4294fa feat(nip-fi): harden Blossom kind-24242 verifier to NIP-FI spec (#7288)
Brings `buzz-media`, `buzz-relay`, all first-party kind-24242 minters,
and desktop token minting into compliance with [NIP-FI
§kind-24242](https://github.com/block/buzz/blob/main/docs/nips/NIP-FI.md).

## What changed

**`buzz-media/src/auth.rs`**
- Add `BlossomStrictness` enum (`Strict` | `Permissive`). `Strict`
applies full NIP-FI rules (active modes); `Permissive` preserves
pre-NIP-FI Off-mode behavior byte-identical [FI-INV-15].
- Rewrite `verify_blossom_auth_event_for_verb` with count-based
cardinality: exactly one `t`/`expiration`/`server` in `Strict`;
duplicate `x` also rejected. `Permissive` keeps main's boolean semantics
exactly: any valued `t` other than the verb (including `""`) rejects,
valueless `t` is ignored.
- `Strict`: mandatory `server` tag on all proofs (upload + read); absent
or mismatched → `evidence_rejected` (`ServerMismatch`).
- `Strict`: 60-second proof window (`now - created_at <= 60s`,
`expiration <= created_at + 60s`). `Permissive`: 3600s / optional
server.
- **[F1]** Permissive server validation uses any-match semantics: a
proof with multiple `server` tags is accepted if any tag matches the
bound host. This restores origin/main base behavior. Strict
duplicate-rejection unchanged.
- **[F1 compat]** Permissive server gate uses `server_values.is_empty()`
(valued tags only) rather than `server_count > 0` (includes valueless
tags). A lone valueless `["server"]` tag is treated as absent in
Permissive/Off mode, matching pre-NIP-FI base behavior [FI-INV-15].
- **[F4]** Valueless `x` tags in Strict get reads are tracked before
`filter_map` so they cannot become absent scope (host-wide
authorization). Any `x` tag present in Strict must contain the exact
requested sha256.
- **[F3 unit]** Cases A–D in `auth.rs` are helper-level unit tests: they
call `verify_blossom_upload_auth` and `verify_upload_hash_only`
directly. They do not enter the upload pipeline
(`process_upload`/`process_video_upload`). Retained as helper evidence.

**`buzz-media/src/error.rs`**
- Add `DuplicateTag(&'static str)` variant.
- Add `blossom_denial_kind()` method: classifies each auth error as
`MissingEvidence`, `EvidenceRejected`, or `AuthorizationDenied`.
Non-auth errors return `None`.
- `IntoResponse` retains the legacy JSON 401 shape [FI-INV-15].

**`buzz-relay/src/api/media.rs`**
- Add `MediaDenial(MediaError, BlossomStrictness)` wrapper mapping to
byte-exact NIP-FI fixed responses in `Strict`; falls through to legacy
JSON in `Permissive`.
- `blossom_strictness_from_state()` selects `Strict` when
`state.config.nip_fi.is_enforce()`, otherwise `Permissive`. Strictness
is threaded through the `admit_nip_fi_http_on_state` NIP-98 closures on
upload and read, and through the post-admission X-SHA-256, hash-binding,
and membership denials.
- `extract_blossom_auth` keeps first-value `Authorization` extraction;
Enforce rejects repeated fields at the `admit_nip_fi_http` cardinality
gate, and Off keeps legacy behavior [FI-INV-15].
- Both membership-denial call sites use
`media_denial(RelayMembershipRequired, strictness)` so Strict mode
produces the correct fixed-text response.
- `upload_blob` serving-write fence conversion (`:406`) uses
`map_err(|e| media_denial(e, strictness))` — a community fence committed
between auth admission and lease acquisition no longer resets Strict to
Permissive.
- Mode-driven regressions in `mod postgres_tests` (selected by the
nextest `postgres-ci` profile via `test(/postgres_tests::/)`, `#[ignore
= "requires Postgres"]`), run through the full relay router with a real
Enforce verifier and assertion: Enforce rejects Permissive-only proofs
(300s lifetime, missing `server` tag) on both upload routes and reads
with `evidence rejected`; Off accepts the same proofs with pre-NIP-FI
responses; DenyProtected answers 503 before any proof check; membership
denials are `authorization denied` text/plain in Enforce and exact
legacy JSON 403 in Off, with a member positive control. GET and HEAD are
each discriminated (HEAD with a suppressed body). Both upload routes pin
the handler's `X-SHA-256` missing/malformed/unsigned and post-body
hash-mismatch denials in both modes. Off rejects an empty-valued `t`
beside a valid one with legacy 401 JSON in either order, and ignores a
valueless one. Exact status, Content-Type, challenge, and body bytes are
pinned.

**`buzz-media/src/upload.rs`** (`mod minio_tests`)
- **[F3 pipeline]** Four tests exercising the actual post-body call
sites (`process_upload` `:85`, `process_video_upload` `:413`) with real
MinIO I/O: buffered/streaming × expired-proof-accept +
mismatched-hash-reject. The positive cases use
`fresh_strict_upload_auth` (`created_at = now-58`, `expiration = now+2`,
lifetime = 60s) — Strict-admissible at sign time — followed by a real 3s
sleep so the proof is expired when the upload completes.
`nostr::Timestamp::now()` reads the OS wall clock directly; paused Tokio
time does not advance it. The negative cases use a pre-expired proof
with a mismatched `x` tag. All four are `#[ignore = "requires MinIO"]`;
no CI lane runs them automatically.

**`buzz-media/src/validation.rs`**
- `minimal_valid_mp4()` promoted to `#[cfg(test)] pub(crate)` — a
618-byte pre-computed H.264/avc1 fast-start MP4 available to all
`buzz-media` test modules; smoke-tested by
`test_minimal_valid_mp4_passes_validate_video_file`.

**`desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/media.rs`**
- `sign_blossom_upload_auth`: `server` tag mandatory; upload expiry 60s
(was 3600s/300s).
- `MEDIA_GET_AUTH_EXPIRY_SECS`: 60s (was 600s).

**`desktop/src-tauri/src/media_proxy.rs`**
- Single re-mint+retry on 401/403 for range requests; non-auth failures
do not retry.

**`crates/buzz-cli/src/client.rs`**
- Read expiry: 60s (was 600s). Upload expiry: 60s. `server` tag
mandatory on upload.

**`crates/buzz-dev-mcp/src/view_image.rs`**
- `MEDIA_GET_AUTH_EXPIRY_SECS`: 60s (was 600s). Test updated.

**`mobile/lib/shared/relay/media_auth.dart`**
- `_mediaGetAuthLifetimeSeconds`: 60 (was 600). Refresh margin updated.

**`mobile/lib/shared/relay/media_upload.dart`**
- `_uploadAuthLifetimeSeconds`: 60 (was 300). `server` tag mandatory.

**`mobile/lib/features/channels/media_viewer_page/video_viewer.dart`**
- **[F2]** Remove Android-specific `VideoPlayerController.networkUrl`
streaming path. `video_player_android` 2.9.5 freezes headers into static
`DefaultHttpDataSource` request properties — a 60s proof minted at
controller creation time becomes stale on seeks. All platforms use the
authenticated local-file download path.
- **[F2 transport]** `unawaited(request.sink.close())` before
`client.send()`. `AbortableStreamedRequest` carries no request body;
without closing the sink, `IOClient.send()` awaits
`stream.pipe(ioRequest)` which blocks until the sink ends — every video
download hung in loading indefinitely on every platform.
- **[F2 pending-ctrl]** `pendingController` ref set before the first
`await (initialize())`, cleared in all exit paths. Effect cleanup
disposes `pendingController.value` so a close-during-init releases the
native player even if the initialized event never arrives.
- **[F2r(a)]** On native init failure (post-create,
pre-initialized-event), the inner catch starts disposal detached via
`unawaited(localController.dispose().catchError(...))` — the
`.catchError` handler absorbs any disposal exception so it does not
reach the test error zone — then rethrows the original load error.
`video_player` 2.11.1 completes the init future with an error without
disposing the native player.
- **[F2r(b)]** Non-2xx error body cancelled via `_cancelVideoResponse()`
(subscribe+cancel) instead of `drain()`. `drain()` waits for the
upstream to close; a stalled server body blocked `initializeVideo`
indefinitely.
- **[F2r(d)]** `unawaited(localController.dispose().catchError(...))` in
the catch — not `await`. Two failure mechanisms exist: (1) when
`createWithOptions()` throws, `_creatingCompleter` is never completed
and `await dispose()` deadlocks at `:682-683`, blocking the outer catch
from setting error state. (2) when `createWithOptions()` succeeds but
initialization fails, `dispose()` runs but its thrown exception becomes
an unhandled async error reaching the test zone. Both are fixed:
`unawaited` lets the outer catch run immediately and set `error.value`;
`.catchError(...)` on the detached disposal future absorbs any disposal
exception.


**`mobile/test/features/channels/media_viewer_page/video_viewer_test.dart`**
- `_FinalizingFakeClient`: calls `request.finalize().drain()` — a test
without the sink fix times out because the drain never completes,
validating the transport contract.
- F2r(a): `forceInitError=true` fake emits `PlatformException` on
subscribe; `disposeCallCount >= 1` verifies disposal even on init
failure.
- F2r(b): `stalledBody` `StreamController` with `onCancel` Completer
(bounded completion signal, not a sleep). Asserts: (1)
`bodyStreamCancelled=true` while body stream is still open (impossible
with `drain()`); (2) error UI visible while body remains open. Restoring
`drain()` breaks both.
- F2r(c): `neverInitialize=true` fake never sends initialized event;
unmount asserts `disposeCallCount >= 1` via `pendingController`.
Distinct from the event-error case.
- F2r(d): `forceCreateError=true` fake throws `PlatformException` from
`createWithOptions()` itself (before any player ID is returned). Asserts
error UI visible within a bounded deadline. With the old `await
dispose()` the outer catch is blocked — `error.value` is never set and
the error UI assertion fails at the deadline; with
`unawaited(dispose())` the error text appears immediately.


**`mobile/test/features/channels/media_viewer_page/video_viewer_transport_test.dart`**
(separate file)
- Real-IO loopback probes using `flutter_test` (not `package:test`) to
avoid `depend_on_referenced_packages` lint. No
`TestWidgetsFlutterBinding` — no HttpClient override interfering with
`dart:io`.
- Probe 1: `HttpServer.bind(loopbackIPv4, 0)` reads the full request
body before replying. Without `sink.close()`, `req.drain()` hangs and
the test times out.
- Probe 2: server signals request arrival via a Completer (not a sleep);
abort fires after confirmed arrival; `client.send()` must throw
`RequestAbortedException` (typed assertion) within a bounded 5s
deadline.

**`scripts/test-video-upload.sh`**
- Proof minted with `+60` expiry and mandatory `server` tag.

**`buzz-test-client/tests/e2e_media*.rs`** +
**`buzz-relay/src/api/media.rs` test fixtures**
- All fixtures updated to 55s expiry + `server` tag.

**`RELEASING.md`**
- New "NIP-FI upload proof freshness (relay floor)" section documenting
that 60s proofs require the first relay release carrying this PR's
post-body hash-only check (the first tag > `v0.2.1` — update once cut)
for reliable large-file uploads. Operators on older self-hosted relays
(≤ `v0.2.1`) must upgrade before receiving these clients.

## Finding 3: 60s upload proofs vs old-relay compatibility

Desktop/CLI/mobile upload proofs are now 60s. Older relays re-run full
expiry verification after the body is transferred. A valid upload whose
body transfer takes >60s will fail on an old relay.

**Resolution (relay floor prerequisite):** `RELEASING.md` requires that
verified supported deployments (relay releases confirmed to carry the
post-body hash-only check, commit `75e9bef748`) be in place before
distributing 60s-proof client builds. Unknown or unverified self-hosted
relay deployments are excluded from distribution until they upgrade.
This makes the verified-deployment status a prerequisite for release
distribution, not a post-distribution advisory. The concrete tag (`>
v0.2.1`) is to be recorded once cut.

## Sequencing note

Builds on #7264 (merged): Blossom strictness is derived from its
`config.nip_fi` mode in this PR, so enabling `BUZZ_NIP_FI_MODE=enforce`
activates the strict verifier with no further wiring.

## GIF compatibility exception

An unauthenticated Off-mode request on a configured tenant with no GIF
provider changes from 404 to 401 (base `gifs.rs:269-275` checked an
unconfigured provider first; the current code authenticates first). All
other Off-mode Blossom responses are byte-identical to pre-NIP-FI
behavior.

Buzz Mobile

Flutter mobile client for Buzz.

See VISION_MOBILE.md for intended behavior and architecture.

Setup

Use the Flutter SDK pinned by the repository. Activate Hermit from the repo root before resolving packages or running any Flutter command:

cd /path/to/buzz
. ./bin/activate-hermit
./bin/just mobile-install

mobile-build-android intentionally builds with --no-pub. If an IDE or an external Flutter SDK has touched mobile/.dart_tool, rerun mobile-install with the pinned SDK before building so flutter_test, sky_engine, and the engine all come from the same Flutter version.

Run

# From repo root (applies a worktree-isolated debug identity and starts/reuses Simulator):
just mobile-dev

# Direct (uses the app's configured community; apply worktree overrides first):
cd mobile && flutter run --dart-define=BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL=https://push.example

Worktree-aware debug identity

Debug builds produced from a git worktree get a unique app identifier keyed to the worktree directory name (xyz.block.buzz.dogfood.mobile.<slug> on iOS, xyz.block.buzz.mobile.<slug> on Android) plus a display-only branch label in the app name (Buzz (my-branch), or a short SHA when the worktree is detached). Because the identifier follows the directory rather than the branch, one worktree keeps exactly one installed app — and its login state — across branch switches, and builds from multiple worktrees install side by side, mirroring the desktop dev experience. Release and profile builds always keep the production identity and name.

just mobile-dev and just mobile-build-android apply this automatically by running scripts/mobile-worktree-overrides.sh, which writes two gitignored files:

  • mobile/ios/Flutter/WorktreeOverrides.xcconfig (included by Debug builds only; a developer's AppOverrides.xcconfig is included after it, so app-specific overrides like a personal BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER for device signing always win)
  • mobile/android/worktree.properties (read by the debug build type only)

Android developers can keep a stable local test identity that takes precedence over the generated worktree values by creating the gitignored mobile/android/AppOverrides.properties:

appName=Buzz Pairing
applicationIdSuffix=.device_pairing_e2e1

These values are consumed by the debug build type only. The standard just mobile-build-android command can still be used; regenerating worktree.properties does not overwrite AppOverrides.properties. Release and profile builds keep the production Buzz name and application ID.

For direct Xcode / Android Studio / flutter run development, run ./scripts/mobile-worktree-overrides.sh from the repo root once per branch switch to refresh the display label (the install identity never changes); the persisted files are then picked up by any subsequent build. In the main checkout the script is a no-op that removes stale override files, restoring the plain Buzz identity. To enable push in direct Xcode builds and Runner tests, supply a BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL build setting in the gitignored mobile/ios/Flutter/AppOverrides.xcconfig; the build phase validates and passes it through as a Flutter Dart define. Since // begins an xcconfig comment, spell the origin as BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL = https:/$()/push.example.

For an Android debug build that must remain installed alongside other Buzz worktree builds, set an explicit launcher name and package suffix when invoking the generator or a recipe that invokes it:

BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL="https://push.example" \
BUZZ_ANDROID_DEBUG_APP_NAME="Buzz Huddles" \
BUZZ_ANDROID_DEBUG_ID_SUFFIX=".huddles_829c" \
./bin/just mobile-build-android

This example produces the debug-only package xyz.block.buzz.mobile.huddles_829c with the launcher label Buzz Huddles. The suffix must start with a dot followed by a lowercase letter and may contain only lowercase letters, digits, and underscores. Release and profile builds ignore these overrides and retain the production package and name.

To remove leftover worktree-suffixed installs from booted iOS simulators and connected Android emulators, run just mobile-clean (add --dry-run via ./scripts/mobile-worktree-clean.sh --dry-run to preview). Production installs are never touched.

iOS push capability

Every iOS artifact builds and embeds the Notification Service Extension and native push bridge. Runtime activation is fail-closed and scoped to the current relay. After authenticated connectivity and a fully valid NIP-11 nip-pl push descriptor, Buzz independently requests display permission and registers with APNs. Display denial or request failure does not gate the device token, gateway enrollment, or lease publication, so a later user opt-in can display pushes without rebuilding transport authority. An absent, malformed, or unreachable descriptor leaves push inactive without partial enrollment.

Mobile builds without a gateway origin succeed with push unavailable. To enable push, supply the gateway origin explicitly:

flutter build ios --dart-define=BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL=https://push.example
flutter build apk --dart-define=BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL=https://push.example

The iOS and Android build gates validate any supplied define, rejecting empty or malformed values. Release/profile builds require an HTTPS origin without an explicit port. An absent define disables permission requests, APNs registration, gateway enrollment, and lease publication; Settings shows push as unavailable. No production gateway is selected implicitly. Enrollment grants and crash-recovery journals are scoped to this origin. Push has not shipped to existing users, so there is no legacy-state or cross-gateway migration. Changing gateways requires fresh enrollment; old installations expire under their original gateway's lease policy. Current-gateway response loss is still retried from the exact journaled request.

Relay rollout remains an explicit deployment opt-in. Only deployments with BUZZ_PUSH_ENABLED=true advertise the descriptor and process push. See docs/push-gateway-deployment.md for the canonical gateway profile contract, manual physical-device proof, measurements, and rollback procedure.

For local physical-device development, override the identity and sandbox environments in the gitignored mobile/ios/Flutter/AppOverrides.xcconfig:

BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER = com.example.buzz.mobile
BUZZ_DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = YOUR_TEAM_ID
BUZZ_IOS_PUSH_ENVIRONMENT = development
BUZZ_APP_ATTEST_ENVIRONMENT = development
BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL = https:/$()/push.example

Use your personal bundle ID and team above. Provision both the parent and its .NotificationService extension. Configure an isolated gateway with the matching App Attest application ID, APNs topic and sandbox certificate. Development attestation requires the explicit personal-dev-app-attest gateway build feature and BUZZ_PUSH_APP_ATTEST_ENVIRONMENT=development; ordinary gateway builds accept production attestation only. See docs/push-gateway-deployment.md. This validates the personal client/relay/gateway integration, not the internally distributed dogfood artifact. Validate dogfood separately using the signed internal release and its production gateway configuration.

Parent app identifiers require Apple's Communication Notifications capability and a regenerated app provisioning profile. The Notification Service Extension profile does not require that capability. Enable it on the personal development App ID for local rich-presentation validation. Enabling it on the Block dogfood and eventual App Store App IDs is a release follow-up and is not performed by this repository change. Without a matching parent profile, source and unit validation still work, but the app cannot be signed for a physical device.

APNs and the gateway continue to carry only the constant opaque wake-up. The extension fetches the message from the scoped relay, verifies message, sender profile, and channel-metadata signatures, and uses a bounded App Group cache for names and app-rendered avatar thumbnails. It never fetches an avatar URL; missing, stale, or invalid enrichment falls back to the verified message with a short sender pubkey, community subtitle, and no image.

Checks

dart format --output=none --set-exit-if-changed .
flutter analyze
flutter test --dart-define=BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL=https://push.example

Or from the repo root: just mobile-check and just mobile-test.

Android release signing

Android release builds fail unless all upload-key inputs are supplied through the environment:

  • BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_PATH: path to a CI-vended keystore file
  • BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
  • BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIAS
  • BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD

The keystore path must be absolute, and the keystore must remain outside the repository. Development and debug builds do not require these variables.

Release pipelines that sign through the central APK Signer service instead of a local upload keystore must set BUZZ_ANDROID_RELEASE_SIGNING=external. That mode produces an unsigned release bundle and refuses to run if any BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_* value is also set.
