## Summary Buzz has no way to load-test the relay as a whole. `wamp_bench` sends kind:9 messages from one identity to one channel, and `perf/relay_bus_scaling.py` only measures Redis fan-out. Neither can show what happens to a relay with many more users, channels, or deep threads. This PR adds `buzz-loadgen`, a load generator in `crates/buzz-test-client`: - `buzz-loadgen seed <scenario.toml>` creates communities (through `POST /operator/communities`), channels, channel history, and deep threads. - `buzz-loadgen run <scenario.toml>` drives simulated humans and agents through ramp steps (1x, 2x, ...) and prints p50/p90/p99 latency, errors, and rate-limit rejections per operation for each step. - Humans hold a WebSocket with live subscriptions, fetch history on connect, and send presence, typing, messages, thread replies, and reactions. Agents authenticate with a NIP-OA tag, poll HTTP `/query`, post through HTTP `/events`, and send encrypted observer frames to their owner. - Per-client rates come from the scenario. Set them to model a deployment, and a step of `users = 10` means 10x that deployment's population. - Every identity, host, and channel id comes from the scenario's `run_id`, so `--shard i/n` splits a population across machines with no coordination. - Each step measures from ramp start to hold end, so connect failures during the ramp count. A step aborts the run when an operation's error rate or p99 (delivery included) crosses the scenario's `[abort]` limits, when a relay `CLOSED`s a live subscription often enough, or when a client exits unexpectedly. The report names the limit that tripped. - Each connect plus authentication has a deadline (`target.connect_timeout_secs`), and shutdown is bounded, so a relay that stalls connections still produces a report and a non-zero exit. - `seed` exits non-zero unless the relay accepted every planned post. - `NostrWsConnection::connect_to_addr` opens the TCP connection to a given address while the URL still names the host. This lets a client inside the relay's cluster reach a community host through the relay's service address. - `wamp_bench` is deleted. Its paced single-channel load is a subset of a scenario. What got simpler: one load tool instead of two partial ones. The change touches only test tooling, the unit-test lane, and one additive method in `buzz-ws-client`. Relay code is unchanged. ### Related issue None found. ### Testing Smoke run on a Linux workstation against a local relay built from this branch, with its own Postgres, Redis, and MinIO containers: ```bash cargo run --release -p buzz-test-client --bin buzz-loadgen -- seed perf/scenarios/local-smoke.toml cargo run --release -p buzz-test-client --bin buzz-loadgen -- run perf/scenarios/local-smoke.toml ``` - `seed`: 710 of 710 posts accepted (10 channels, 200 history messages, 10 thread roots, 500 thread replies). - `run`: both steps (1x = 50 humans + 5 agents, then 2x) completed with 0 errors and 0 rate-limit rejections. Every operation recorded traffic: 55/55 connect/auth, 205/205 live subscriptions, 150 history fetches, presence/typing/observer frames, messages and reactions, HTTP `/query`, HTTP `/events`, and publish→delivery. Delivery p99 was 45 ms at 1x and 42 ms at 2x. - Failure paths are covered by unit tests: a listener that accepts TCP but never answers (connect deadline, then `run` aborts and returns), a fake `/events` server that rejects posts (`seed` fails), `CLOSED` subscriptions, and invalid scenarios. `just test-unit` (and its `scripts/run-tests.sh` fallback) now runs the new `loadgen::` unit tests. Before this change, no CI lane ran `buzz-test-client` lib tests. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Signed-off-by: Luke Tornquist <tornquist@squareup.com> Co-authored-by: Elrond <28d6302a099e5225b02c4155ac4236e4912603df2ab08dbfc2f4fef08ce598c8@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
