Request changes — the branch is 19 commits behind main and the merge doesn't
build. Not a mistake on your side: #892 changed accept_event under you while
this sat open, and ci.yml triggers on: push only, so no build ever ran here
to tell either of us.
Reproduced on the merge with current main (textually clean, no conflicts):
error[E0308]: mismatched types --> src/app.rs:1206:17
1199 | let result = accept_event( <- arguments to this function are incorrect
1206 | false,
Five of them (1206, 1234, 1259, 1297, 1324): the new tests pass bool where
main now takes gate: Option<&SpamGate>. #892 also inserted event.verify()
ahead of the spam gate.
The rebase isn't mechanical, though — three things need redoing rather than
re-applying:
1. The spam_gate.rs change loses its reason to exist. It weakens
install_global_then_second_install_is_rejected (no longer asserts the first
install succeeds) only because the new tests install the process-wide
OnceLock. On main the gate is injected as a parameter, so those tests can
build their own and never touch the global. That weakening should die in the
rebase.
2. The nip33 story is stale, and the comment that survived is wrong.
Commit 45ca902 says it drops the TagKind::Custom("expiration") arm — that arm
no longer exists on this base: the nostr-sdk 0.45.1 migration (#867, on main)
already replaced the whole matches!(..) || matches!(..) with
t.kind() == "expiration". The production diff here is the comment alone.
And the comment claims something that doesn't hold: in 0.45 Tag::kind()
returns &str (crate source, event/tag/mod.rs:142), so the check compares the
serialized tag name and matches a Tag::custom("expiration", …) either way.
There's no dependency on the sdk normalising, and the canary the comment
promises ("if an sdk upgrade ever stopped normalising, this test goes red")
can't fire. Both tests are worth keeping — the comment and the commit message
are what need rewriting.
3. The mutation score is measured against a tree that no longer exists.
"9 rather than 10 because dropping the arm also drops its ||→&& mutant" —
there is no || in has_expiration_tag on this base, so that mutant doesn't
exist in either version. accept_event also changed shape, so its mutant set
moved too. Worth re-running after the rebase.
On the mutation-test target: the underlying insight is good and worth writing
down — a test failing from port contention scores as a killed mutant, which
inflates exactly the number the target measures. Two reservations on the fix:
- I couldn't check whether
CARGO_MUTANTS_JOBS=1changes anything (not
installed here). If cargo-mutants still tests one mutant at a time by
default, it's a no-op in CI and the rationale only applies to someone who
passes-jby hand. If 27.x parallelises by default, forcing 1 makes the
weekly full run much slower — andmutation.ymldeclares no
timeout-minutes, so it inherits GitHub's 6-hour default. Worth confirming
which, since that comment is the whole justification for the target. - Pinning
MOSTRO_TEST_LN_PORT=18080doesn't stop two workers colliding with
each other — they'd both use 18080. It only avoids something else already
holding 8080. The root fix is the test not depending on a fixed host port;
serialising is the patch.
Nits: the env-var read is copy-pasted in three places (lnurl.rs prod, its
test, invoice.rs test) with the same parse and fallback — one helper keeps
them from drifting; and the Makefile default (18080) differs from the code
default (8080), so cargo test and make mutation-test exercise different
ports.
The good part, to be clear: pulling is_stale and missing_inner_signature
out with boundary tests is exactly what mutation testing should produce, and
the accept_event tests cover the first-contact PoW lane, which had nothing at
all. Worth landing once it's rebased.

Read changed paths as NUL-delimited records.
git diff --name-only is not NUL-delimited, and the read loop cannot reconstruct newline-containing or Git-quoted pathnames. A pull request with such a Rust filename can pass an incorrect path to cargo mutants, causing mutation coverage to be skipped or the job to fail. Use git diff --name-only -z with a NUL-delimited reader.

Reject port 0 for the shared test-port setting.
When MOSTRO_TEST_LN_PORT=0, TcpListener::bind in src/lightning/invoice.rs selects an ephemeral port, but extract_lnurl still builds URLs with port 0. Lightning Address tests then connect to the wrong port. Reject zero during parsing or pass the assigned port back to the URL builder.

In `@src/lnurl.rs` around lines 253 - 257, Update test_ln_port so
MOSTRO_TEST_LN_PORT parses only nonzero u16 values, falling back to 8080 when
unset, invalid, or equal to zero; keep the shared port consistent with the URL
construction used by extract_lnurl and the listener in invoice.rs.
The LNURL tests bind a fixed 127.0.0.1:8080, and `extract_lnurl` resolves `cfg!(test)` lightning addresses against the same literal. That fails outright when something on the host already holds 8080 — which is how a mutation run dies before it measures anything. `MOSTRO_TEST_LN_PORT` overrides both, defaulting to 8080 so ordinary `cargo test` is unchanged. `0` is rejected along with unset and unparseable values: it parses as a valid `u16` but tells a listener to let the OS choose, which would bind an arbitrary port while the URL still said `:0`. One helper, `lnurl::test_ln_port`, rather than the same parse in the prod path, its own test and the test server: three hand-copied fallbacks would eventually disagree. This does not make the suite hermetic — two workers still share whatever port they are pointed at. It only dodges a pre-existing listener.
`accept_event` decides what the daemon will even look at, and had no direct tests for its front gates: the PoW bar, the accepted-kind check, and the spam gate's two lanes were only exercised through the full inbox path. The v1 gates (a validly-wrapped gift wrap, and a kind mismatch) go in a new module alongside the existing gift-wrap helpers. The two first-contact PoW lanes go in `accept_event_ordering_tests` instead, and reuse its `v2_event` and `accept` helpers. The gate only ever reaches production on the v2 loop, with `NostrKind::from( DM_EVENT_KIND)` — pairing a gift wrap with `Some(gate)` would have exercised a combination the daemon never produces, and rebuilt fixtures that module already has. The gate is passed in rather than installed globally. `accept_event` takes it as a parameter, so each test owns a pristine one and none touch the process-wide `SPAM_GATE` OnceLock — which means `spam_gate`'s own "second install is rejected" test keeps asserting that the *first* install succeeded, instead of being weakened to tolerate whatever another test had already installed.
`create_event` auto-adds a NIP-40 expiration tag to order events unless
one is already present. Nothing pinned that the caller's own tag
suppresses the auto-add, in either shape it can arrive in.
Two tests: the typed `Tag::expiration`, and the `Tag::custom("expiration",
..)` that `order_to_tags` actually builds.
The comment above the check is rewritten. It claimed the single
comparison works because "nostr normalises the tag name at construction",
and promised a canary if an sdk upgrade stopped doing so. Neither holds:
in nostr 0.45 `Tag::kind()` returns the tag's serialized name — its first
cell — and both constructors put the literal "expiration" there, so the
match is by construction and there is no normalisation step to regress.
The one-hour restore-session timeout was a bare `60 * 60` and the log reporting it was the independent literal "1 hour". Change one and the other silently lies. `RESTORE_SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECS` is now the single source, and the message is computed from it. It reports minutes rather than raw seconds so the log stays readable to whoever is reading it at 3am. The constant is written `3_600`, not `60 * 60`. The product is a computation with nothing to compute, and its only effect is to give a mutation operator an `*` to flip into `+` — a survivor no test can kill except by restating the constant on the line below it. Removing the operator is the honest fix; adding that assertion would raise the score without protecting anything.

Two changes to how mutation testing is invoked. `make mutation-test` gives the weekly full run and local runs one definition of the environment cargo-mutants needs here: serialised, and pointed off port 8080. cargo-mutants already tests one mutant at a time by default (verified against 27.1.0 — a single scratch dir on a 16-CPU host with no `-j`), so this pins an existing default rather than changing behaviour; it is set explicitly because the suite genuinely cannot tolerate more. The LNURL tests bind a fixed host port, parallel workers collide on it, and a test failing for its own reasons scores as a killed mutant — inflating the very number the run exists to measure. The PR job builds its `--file` flags as a bash array instead of word-splitting a string. Those filenames come from a PR diff, so they are attacker-controlled, and a crafted name could previously smuggle extra argv tokens into cargo-mutants, cargo and rustc's flag surface. It calls cargo mutants directly rather than through the make target, whose `$(ARGS)` is a plain string splice safe only for hand-typed input; the Makefile now says so.

What changed
Makefile/.github/workflows/mutation.yml: added amutation-testtarget (CARGO_MUTANTS_JOBS=1 MOSTRO_TEST_LN_PORT=$${MOSTRO_TEST_LN_PORT:-18080} cargo mutants) so a single knob caps concurrency (avoids OOM on constrained machines) and lets the local LN test port be overridden when 8080 is already taken on the host. Single worker on purpose: workers share the host's TCP ports, and a worker losing the race for the LNURL listener fails that test for its own reasons — which mutation testing scores as a killed mutant, inflating the result.src/lnurl.rs,src/lightning/invoice.rs: threadedMOSTRO_TEST_LN_PORTthrough the local test HTTP server/URL builder socargo-mutantsruns don't collide with something else already bound to 8080.src/app.rs:is_staleandmissing_inner_signatureout ofaccept_eventwith direct boundary tests.accept_event_testscovering the full accept/reject paths (valid gift wrap, wrong kind, wrong receiver) plus the protocol-v2 spam-gate / PoW-first-contact branch (accepted when the bar is cleared, dropped when it isn't) — this branch had 3 surviving mutants with zero coverage.src/nip33.rs: added tests forcreate_event's NIP-40 expiration-tag dedup check — a caller-supplied expiration tag must not be duplicated by the auto-expiration logic, which was the source of a surviving||→&&mutant.
