- Increase WebSocket message size limit from 500KB to 10MB to prevent
truncation of large kind 3 follow list events (8000+ follows)
- Add validation in SaveEvent to reject kind 3 events without p tags
before storage, preventing malformed events from buggy relays
- Implement CleanupKind3WithoutPTags() to remove existing malformed
kind 3 events at startup
- Add enhanced logging showing tag count and event ID when rejecting
invalid kind 3 events for better observability
- Create round-trip test proving binary tag encoding preserves p tags
correctly through JSON→binary→JSON cycle
- Root cause: 500KB limit was truncating large follow lists during
WebSocket receive, causing tags to be lost or incomplete
- Three-layer defense: prevent at gate (size), validate (save time),
and cleanup (startup)
Files modified:
- app/handle-websocket.go: Increase DefaultMaxMessageSize to 10MB
- pkg/database/save-event.go: Add kind 3 validation with logging
- pkg/database/cleanup-kind3.go: New cleanup function
- pkg/database/cleanup-kind3_test.go: Round-trip test
- app/main.go: Invoke cleanup at startup
- Add 'serve' subcommand for ephemeral RAM-based relay at /dev/shm with
open ACL mode for testing and benchmarking
- Fix e-tag and p-tag decoding to use ValueHex()/ValueBinary() methods
instead of Value() which returns raw bytes for binary-optimized storage
- Document all command-line tools in readme.adoc (relay-tester, benchmark,
stresstest, blossomtest, aggregator, convert, FIND, policytest, etc.)
- Switch Docker images from Alpine to Debian for proper libsecp256k1
Schnorr signature and ECDH support required by Nostr
- Upgrade Docker Go version from 1.21 to 1.25
- Add ramdisk mode (--ramdisk) to benchmark script for eliminating disk
I/O bottlenecks in performance measurements
- Add docker-compose.ramdisk.yml for tmpfs-based benchmark volumes
- Add test coverage for privileged policy with binary-encoded p-tags
- Fix blossom test to expect 200 OK for anonymous uploads when auth is
not required (RequireAuth=false with ACL mode 'none')
- Update follows ACL to handle both binary and hex p-tag formats
- Grant owner access to all users in serve mode via None ACL
- Add benchmark reports from multi-relay comparison run
- Update CLAUDE.md with binary tag handling documentation
- Bump version to v0.30.2
- Introduced CLAUDE.md to provide guidance for working with the Claude Code repository, including project overview, build commands, testing guidelines, and performance considerations.
- Added INDEX.md for a structured overview of the strfry WebSocket implementation analysis, detailing document contents and usage.
- Created SKILL.md for the nostr-websocket skill, covering WebSocket protocol fundamentals, connection management, and performance optimization techniques.
- Included multiple reference documents for Go, C++, and Rust implementations of WebSocket patterns, enhancing the knowledge base for developers.
- Updated deployment and build documentation to reflect new multi-platform capabilities and pure Go build processes.
- Bumped version to reflect the addition of extensive documentation and resources for developers working with Nostr relays and WebSocket connections.
