fix(privacy): drop the log lines that pair two user keys (#836)

[ToRyVand]

Summary

Refs #836 — deliberately not Closes. The issue asks for a structural fix:
a CI gate, or a tracing_subscriber layer redacting at runtime. This PR is
neither. It is the narrow fix for the five log lines that actually leak, so the
structural half stays open, and the negative result on the regex-gate approach
is written up on #836 so nobody rebuilds it.

History, since the diff no longer matches the title's origin: this branch
started as a 16-file change — a scripts/check_log_redaction.py CI gate plus 14
redacted call sites. @Catrya's review established the right criterion and the
branch was rewritten around it: one commit, 3 files, +35/−21, no script, no CI
job.

The criterion

Not "a pubkey appears in the line" but what linkage does the line reveal. A
key beside an order id is Mostro-only data. Two user keys in one record —
one person's identity and trade key, or two counterparties — is the association
the two-key design exists to keep to Mostro alone. Mostro's own key is public,
which is why pubkey_event_can_solve keeps two keys in one line and stays as it
is. Five lines meet the test:

Line	Linkage
job_cancel_orders — println!("Edited order: {:?}")	identity ↔ trade key, this order ↔ the maker's next one, and buyer_invoice — on stdout
accept_event missing-inner-signature	identity ↔ trade key
notify_users_canceled_order	maker ↔ taker ↔ order
send_dm sender / receiver	identity key, on the hot path
send_dm receiver + payload	receiver's trade key ↔ the key inside Payload::Peer

The first is the widest, and an earlier revision filed it as an unrelated
chore. It dumps a whole Order. edit_pubkeys_order nulls only the
counterparty pair, so on the side it keeps the dump carries the maker's trade
key beside their identity key; next_trade_pubkey, which links this order to
the same maker's next one — the only one of the five that breaks unlinkability
across orders; and buyer_invoice where populated, which AGENTS.md names
explicitly ("Scrub logs that might leak invoices or Nostr keys"). It went to
stdout, so neither RUST_LOG nor the redaction layer #836 stays open for would
ever touch it. It now lives in the same commit as the other four, so the fix
cannot be cherry-picked without it.

The last is the ordinary trade flow, not an admin path: on every FiatSent,
fiat_sent.rs sends Payload::Peer { pubkey: event.sender } to the seller and
Peer { pubkey: seller_pubkey } to the buyer. That line printed receiver and
payload, so it wrote the seller's trade key next to the buyer's on every trade.

What changed

• src/scheduler.rs — the println! is gone, which collapses the rebind it
  sat in to the let-else job_cancel_orders already uses. In
  notify_users_canceled_order, both trade keys are dropped and the order id is
  kept.

• src/app.rs — drop unwrapped.identity, keep unwrapped.sender, which
  is unpaired and is the half that tells one misbehaving client from many.

  Deliberately without event.id. This warning fires mostly on the v1
  gift-wrap path — identity != sender is the normal dual-key layout there —
  and on that path the outer event is signed by a throwaway key with a tweaked
  timestamp (gift_wrap_from_seal_with_pow) precisely so it cannot be
  attributed to the rumor's author. Logging the wrap id beside the trade key
  inside it would undo that. On v2 the kind-14 is signed by the trade key
  (wrap_message_nip44), so sender == event.pubkey and the id adds nothing.

• src/util.rs — send_dm logs once per send, after the wrap:

  let event = wrap_message_with(/* … */)
      .await
      .inspect_err(|e| {
          tracing::warn!(
              action = %inner.action,
              order_id = ?inner.id,
              request_id = ?inner.request_id,
              error = %e,
              "wrapping DM failed"
          )
      })?;
  
  info!(
      event_id = %event.id,
      action = %inner.action,
      order_id = ?inner.id,
      request_id = ?inner.request_id,
      "sending DM"
  );

  With event_id, because it is the only join key between the log and the
  relay copy. request_id does not carry it: it is client-supplied, and 23 of
  the 65 enqueue_order_msg call sites pass None, including both sends in
  notify_users_canceled_order.

  After the wrap, with the failure logged separately, because this is the only
  log on that path. The queue drainer reports a failed send as
  Failed to send message: {e} — no order, no action — and drops it after four
  retries, so a wrap failure with no line of its own would be invisible. Either
  outcome of the wrap now leaves exactly one line with the routing fields.

• Structured tracing fields on every touched line rather than interpolated
  strings, per AGENTS.md's "prefer tracing spans over ad-hoc logging". It also
  matters for the half of Nostr keys logged in cleartext across multiple modules — needs a structural fix, not per-line patches #836 left open: a tracing_subscriber redaction layer
  can only act on named fields, so a redaction PR emitting opaque message
  strings would be writing the one shape that mechanism could never touch.

The limits of this change, stated rather than hidden

1. What a relay archive still reveals. On v2, the default transport,
wrap_message_nip44 publishes every DM Mostro sends as a kind-14 signed by
Mostro, p-tagged to the receiver, with an untweaked created_at. So anyone
holding these logs and a relay archive can match the log's timestamp to the
event and resolve order_id → receiver, with or without event_id. Joining the
two sends of one cancellation on order_id then rebuilds the maker↔taker
pairing removed from notify_users_canceled_order. event_id adds a join key,
not a linkage. On v1, gift_wrap_from_seal_with_pow signs with an ephemeral key
and tweaks created_at by up to two days, so timestamps don't match — but there
event_id itself resolves the receiver through the wrap's p tag. That residual
goes away with the deprecated transport (#786).

This PR removes the linkages that are readable from the logs alone. It does
not make logs plus a relay archive safe, and it should not be read as settling
that.

2. The invariant is per-line, not repo-wide. bond/payout.rs logs
recipient = %recipient_pubkey beside order_id = %bond.order_id by design, and
that is one of the lines this PR deliberately puts back — for several of the
reverted sites the key is the log's content, and dropping it leaves "someone
asked, the answer was 7". Making the guarantee mechanical is the structural work
#836 stays open for, and the repo already has a precedent worth reusing there:
the <redacted> Debug impls in price/providers/coingecko.rs and
price/providers/eltoque.rs, each with a test.

Everything else stays

The surviving {event:#?} dumps are NIP-33 replaceable events published to
relays a moment later. A key next to an order or dispute id links nothing. And
add solver request, pubkey_event_can_solve, last_trade_index and
is_assigned_solver are back exactly as they were.

Addressed in 4945eb8.

The five positive cases now assert the exact (line, identifier) tuples rather than just the count, so a scanner reporting the wrong key name no longer slips through:

self.assertEqual(violations, [(1, "pubkey")])
self.assertEqual(violations, [(1, "identity_key")])
self.assertEqual(violations, [(1, "sender_key")])

One addition beyond the suggestion: every existing case is a one-liner, so asserting line 1 would still hold if check_file never computed a line number at all. Added a case with the call further down the file so that arithmetic is actually pinned:

def test_reported_line_is_the_macro_line_not_the_first(self):
    violations = self._violations(
        "fn x() {\n    let a = 1;\n    info!(\"{}\", pubkey);\n}"
    )
    self.assertEqual(violations, [(3, "pubkey")])

Both CI steps pass locally: python3 scripts/check_log_redaction_test.py → 8 tests OK (was 7), and python3 scripts/check_log_redaction.py → clean, exit 0.

[AndreaDiazCorreia]

Nice direction. A structural gate beats another one-off patch, and the 14 call-site
fixes are correct: no unused params left behind (checked sender in payout.rs,
my_keys in pubkey_event_can_solve, taker_pubkey in cancel_not_active_order),
no format-arg mismatches, and the taker_pubkey removal from cancel_order_by_taker
updated both call sites cleanly. The checker runs clean and its 8 tests pass locally.

A few things worth addressing before merge.

Blocking-ish: the gate misses the most idiomatic form of the leak. find_call_span blanks string-literal contents, so Rust 2021 inline captured args are invisible:

tracing::info!("User with pubkey {pubkey} did X"); // check_file() -> []

This style is already used all over the tree (util.rs:465,467,839,919,1088,1101,

tracing::info!("User with pubkey {pubkey} did X"); // check_file() -> []

This style is already used all over the tree (util.rs:465,467,839,919,1088,1101, main.rs:108,229, scheduler.rs:78,201, lnurl.rs:179), so the gate green-lights exactly what it exists to stop. Suggestion: run SUSPICIOUS_RE over the {...} capture names inside the format string too, instead of blanking them along with the prose.

One leak still in the tree. src/app/admin_add_solver.rs:73:

Ok(r) => info!("Solver added: {} with category {}", r, category),

add_new_user returns the solver pubkey as stored (db.rs:1007, "Return the pubkey as stored (plain)"), the same key you redacted at the RPC entry point in rpc/service.rs:322. So the flow is scrubbed on the way in and logged on the way out. The checker misses it only because the binding is named r.

Checker gaps worth a follow-up (not necessarily this PR):

• MACRO_RE doesn't cover println!/eprintln!, which is ironic since f485590 in this very PR removes a println! leaking order pubkeys that the gate couldn't have caught. event! and *_span! are uncovered too.
• A '"' char literal desyncs the string scanner: info!("{} {}", s.trim_matches('"'), pubkey) returns [], and the unbalanced span then runs to EOF.
• MACRO_RE scans raw text including comments, so a doc comment showing info!("{}", pubkey) as an example fails CI with no real code to fix.

Smaller stuff:

• db.rs:1257 now reads "Solver assigned to order {}" unconditionally before the SELECT EXISTS that decides it, so it logs the assertion even when the function returns false. Worth moving after the query or rewording to "checking".
• util.rs:660 info!("Sending DM") has no correlation data left on the daemon's highest-frequency path. Consider dropping it, or attaching order_id/request_id instead of the keys.
• util.rs:465/839/919 still dump whole Nostr events with {event:#?} (pubkey, tags, content, sig), which is inconsistent with dropping payload from send_dm for the same reason.
• The 14 (AGENTS.md:48) comments hardcode a line number, which AGENTS.md:42 explicitly prohibits. Citing the section ("AGENTS.md, Security & Configuration Tips") survives edits to that file.

Also: needs a rebase. The branch is 30 commits behind main and currently conflicts in src/scheduler.rs (touched by #879, #872, #862, #867 and #772 since the branch was cut). GitHub reports the PR as CONFLICTING / DIRTY.

[ToRyVand]

Rebased onto main (was 30 commits behind — resolved the scheduler.rs conflict in notify_users_canceled_order: kept upstream's neutral "was not completed" wording, dropped the pubkeys per this PR's intent).

Addressed the review:

Blocking — inline captures. find_call_span now extracts {ident} capture names from each string literal before blanking its contents, so info!("pubkey {pubkey}") is caught alongside the existing info!("{}", pubkey) form. Added coverage for captures with format specs ({pubkey:?}), positional placeholders (not captures), and escaped braces (not captures).

The leak still in the tree. admin_add_solver.rs:73 — add_new_user's return (the stored pubkey) was being logged on the success path after being scrubbed at the RPC entrypoint. Dropped it.

{event:#?} dumps. Six call sites (admin_cancel.rs, admin_settle.rs, admin_take_dispute.rs, util.rs x3) were logging the full Event — pubkey, tags, content, sig — via {:#?}. Replaced each with a scoped identifier already in scope (dispute_id/order.id) or dropped it where redundant with the next line.

Smaller stuff:

• db.rs's is_assigned_solver now logs after the SELECT EXISTS, gated on the actual result, instead of asserting unconditionally before the query ran.
• send_dm's log moved past Message::from_json (already happening on this path) and now carries request_id for correlation.
• The AGENTS.md:48 line-number references (11 in code, 2 in the script) now cite "Security & Configuration Tips" instead, so they survive edits to that file.

Left for a follow-up issue, per your note that it's not necessarily this PR: println!/eprintln!/event!/*_span! coverage, the unbalanced-span issue from an unescaped '"' char literal, and comments being scanned as code. Happy to file that if useful.

All green locally: cargo build, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo fmt --check, cargo test --bin mostrod (1186 passed), and both check_log_redaction.py runs (checker + its own test suite, now 12 tests).

Rebased onto main @ 848ee3b. No behaviour change and no new scope — the diffstat is byte-identical to the pre-rebase branch (16 files, +326/−94), and all 21 redaction sites survive.

Two files conflicted, both structural rather than semantic. In each case I kept upstream's structure and reapplied only the redaction on top:

src/app.rs — #892 reworked accept_event: the spam gate now arrives as gate: Option<&SpamGate> instead of is_v2 + SpamGate::global(), which removed a nesting level and expanded the surrounding comments. Kept that shape verbatim; the only thing carried over is dropping event.pubkey from the pow_first_contact line:

// No key in the log line — sender pubkey (AGENTS.md, Security & Configuration Tips).
tracing::info!(
    "Dropping first-contact kind-14 event below pow_first_contact ({} bits)",
    pow_first_contact
);

src/app/admin_take_dispute.rs — #899 hoisted new_dispute_event above the DM sends (monotonic created_at), so the block this branch used to rewrite no longer exists there. Kept upstream's construction and redacted only the dump that followed it: info!("Dispute event to be published: {dispute_event:#?}") → info!("Dispute event to be published for dispute {}", dispute.id).

src/util.rs, src/db.rs, src/scheduler.rs and src/app/bond/payout.rs auto-merged cleanly.

Verification on the rebased head:

• cargo test — 1233 passed, 0 failed, 3 ignored
• cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features — clean
• cargo fmt --check — clean
• python3 scripts/check_log_redaction.py — clean, i.e. none of the 15 commits main gained since the last rebase introduced a new leak
• python3 scripts/check_log_redaction_test.py — 13/13

The CI wiring still holds against #905: test gates on [fmt, clippy, log-redaction], and the new msrv job is independent.

@AndreaDiazCorreia the review scope is unchanged — your round-1 findings are still addressed in the same commits, just replayed onto current main. Ready for round 2 whenever you have a moment.

[Catrya]

Request changes. The analysis work here is real — you found 9 sites manual
review had missed — but I don't think the premise holds for most of them, so
the diff should end up an order of magnitude smaller.

The criterion isn't "a pubkey appears in the line", it's "what linkage does
the line reveal". By that measure the 14 sites split into three groups:

Already public. The three {event:#?} dumps are of events Mostro is about to
broadcast to relays (finalize_order_publication, update_order_event_stamped,
the dispute events) — public a millisecond later. In send_dm the "sender key"
was Mostro's own key, which it publishes in its info event. Nothing is disclosed
by logging any of it.

Not public, but not linking. The taker's trade key, the assigned solver, the
solver identity in admin_take_dispute. Mostro-only data, but it pairs a key
with an order id, not with another key.

Actually sensitive. One line:

warn!("Missing inner signature: identity {} differs from trade key {}",
      unwrapped.identity, unwrapped.sender);

Identity key and trade key in the same record is exactly the linkage the two-key
design exists to keep to Mostro alone. And the identity isn't even useful here:
to chase a non-conforming client you want the event (event.id, public on the
relay) and, to tell one client from many, sender alone. The identity buys
nothing you can act on.

What I'd keep: that line, rewritten around event.id, and the
println!("Edited order: {:?}", edited_order) in scheduler.rs, which is
leftover debug litter and goes regardless. That's it.

What I'd revert: the rest, and particularly the sites that dropped a key and
put nothing back. info!("Received add solver request") has req.request_id
right there. info!("Checking whether the dispute event was sent by the mostro admin") fires on every dispute event and says neither which dispute nor the
outcome. last_trade_index is the clearest: that line is the pubkey — "who
asked, what we answered" — and without it you get "someone asked, the answer was
7", worthless the moment two users ask in the same minute. You applied the right
pattern in send_dm (swap the key for request_id); the rest just delete.

Separately, is_assigned_solver doesn't only lose the key: it moves the log
after the query and makes it conditional on result == true. That's a behaviour
change inside a redaction PR, and it drops the branch you actually want when
debugging a rejected solver.

The CI script I'd drop entirely. I probed it with a file under src/; all
of these pass check_log_redaction: clean:

info!("Order event to be published: {event:#?}");      // the line this PR deletes
info!("Sending message with payload: {:#?}", payload); // ditto
println!("Edited order: {:?}", edited_order);          // ditto
println!("nsec {}", nsec);
let pk = order.buyer_pubkey; info!("buyer {pk}");      // renaming the variable is enough

println! isn't in MACRO_RE, and whole-struct Debug dumps don't match
SUSPICIOUS_RE — so the two classes this PR had to find by hand are the two the gate cannot see. A check that stays green while the leak comes back is worse than no check: it turns a known gap into false confidence. It also
false-positives on an mpsc Sender and on tracing calls inside doc comments,
where the only escape is to write // pubkey-log-allow: on something that has
nothing to do with pubkeys.

One process note, no hard feelings intended: #836 is your own issue, so nobody
on the project had agreed the threat model before this was built. For structural
work — a new CI gate, a new repo-wide convention — it's worth settling that
first; it would have saved you most of these 326 lines.

Whether you strip this branch down or open a fresh one is up to you, but the
result should be a couple of lines, not a subsystem.

[ToRyVand]

Thanks @Catrya — you're right about the criterion and about the gate. Rewritten
around both: 16 files / +326-94 → 3 files / +27-18, and the CI script is
gone entirely.

On the script, I probed it as you did rather than take it on report. Your
five cases pass clean, and two more are false positives — a tracing call inside
a doc comment, and an mpsc::Sender named sender. Wrong in both directions.
The false positives are fixable; the false negatives are not: deciding whether
{event:#?} prints a key needs to know what event is, and a regex has no
types. That is the shape that produced #834. Written up on
#836 as a negative result so
nobody rebuilds it.

On the criterion — "what linkage does the line reveal" — I agree, and ran it
over the six sites your groups didn't reach. It comes to four lines, not one:

Line	Linkage
Missing inner signature	identity ↔ trade key	yours
notify_users_canceled_order	maker ↔ taker ↔ order	new
send_dm sender/receiver	identity key on the hot path	new
Sending message … payload	receiver ↔ Payload::Peer{pubkey}	new

The middle one is the strongest. It wrote both counterparties' trade keys in
one record, and the published order event carries neither — order_to_tags
emits kind, fiat, status, amount, payment method, premium, expiry and the
source tag, no party pubkeys. So that pairing is not otherwise derivable, and
unlike the others it links two different people.

On send_dm you addressed the sender half — Mostro's own key, agreed, public.
The line also wrote the receiver, and admin_take_dispute calls it with
event.identity (admin_take_dispute.rs:249). So on that path it wrote an
identity key, on the daemon's highest-frequency send path. Your "swap the key
for request_id" is what it does now.

And the fourth: payload carries a key of its own —
Payload::Peer { pubkey: event.identity } is sent to both counterparties — so
that line paired a receiver's trade key with a solver's identity key.

Everything else is reverted, on your classification: the four whole-event
dumps are published to relays a moment later; a key beside an order or dispute
id links nothing; and the sites that dropped a key and put nothing back are
back as they were — add solver request, pubkey_event_can_solve,
last_trade_index, is_assigned_solver. You were right that the last one was
worse than a redaction: it moved the log after the query and made it
conditional on result == true, which drops the rejected-solver case, and that
is a behaviour change with no business being in this PR.

I did not take the request_id improvements those reverted lines invite. That
would be the same scope mistake in the other direction.

The println! is a separate commit — unrelated to redaction, goes regardless.

Your process note is taken, and it is the part that generalises: #836 was my
own issue, so nobody had agreed the threat model before a CI gate and a
repo-wide convention were built on it. The narrow fix here needed none of that.

[Catrya]

This is the right PR now. 16 files → 3, the CI gate gone, and the four lines you
kept are the four that meet the criterion — I checked each one rather than take
it on report.

Verified before commenting:

• Merges clean onto current main (7e6b600, 17 commits ahead). On the merged
  tree: cargo clippy --all-targets clean, cargo fmt --check clean, no unused
  params left behind, no test asserts on any of the four strings.
• The reverts are real — no script, no CI job, no .gitignore change, and
  add solver request, pubkey_event_can_solve, last_trade_index and
  is_assigned_solver are back exactly as they were.
• I scanned the resulting tree for tracing calls interpolating two key-shaped
  identifiers (paren-balanced, string contents blanked): none left.
• The surviving {event:#?} dumps (util.rs:481/873/1378, dispute.rs:45/293,
  admin_settle.rs:154, admin_cancel.rs:155, admin_take_dispute.rs:288) are

• Your notify_users_canceled_order claim
  (src/nip33.rs:473) emits k/f/s/amt/fa/pes_at/

  derivable elsewhere.

Four things before merge, one of which is t

---

1. send_dm now emits two lines that canand it
is the only log on the entire outbound path.

The first line fires before wrapping and carries only request_id; the second
fires after and carries only event.id. Th
concurrent sends there is no way to tell which request_id produced which event
id. Before, both lines carried receiver_pubkey and joined on it.

Worse, request_id is a client-supplied Option<u64>, and **23 of the 66

2. app.rs dropped sender as well, which the review asked to keep.

The ask was event.id and sender alone — the second is what tells one
misbehaving client from many. On the gift-whrowaway

One thing the PR undersells. The payload-line justification cites only
admin_take_dispute. The stronger case is fi
Peer { pubkey: event.sender } (the buyer's and
Peer { pubkey: seller_pubkey } to the buyerer plus
payload, so it wrote the seller's trade key next to the buyer's — a direct
maker↔taker pairing between two different pvery
single trade, not just an admin path. Worth citing; it makes that one
unarguable.

[ToRyVand]

All four addressed. Rebased onto afc39a2 (v0.18.7); 3 files, +15/−15.

1. send_dm. The two lines are one now, after the event is built —
event_id, action, order_id, request_id. You were right that the split
left no join key, and that request_id alone doesn't carry it: I counted 21
of 63 enqueue_order_msg call sites passing None, including both sends in
notify_users_canceled_order — the function this PR edits. Emitted as tracing
fields rather than an interpolated string, since the redaction layer #836 leaves
open can only act on named fields; an opaque message string would have been the
one shape that mechanism could never touch.

2. app.rs. sender is back — event.id and sender, identity out.

3. Comments. Cut to the forward invariant, two lines each.

4. Closes → Refs #836, in the commit and the body. The body was stale
well past that line — still describing the CI script, the 14 call sites and the
cancel.rs signature change, none of which exist. Rewritten.

On the payload line: you were right that I undersold it. fiat_sent sends
Peer { pubkey: event.sender } to the seller and Peer { pubkey: seller_pubkey }
to the buyer, so that line wrote the seller's trade key next to the buyer's on
every trade, not on an admin path. That's the justification now.

One residual I hit while doing this, in the body rather than left implicit:
both wrap paths p-tag the recipient (mostro-core transport.rs:208,
nip59.rs:149), so event_id resolves to the receiver given a relay archive,
and the maker↔taker pairing is still reconstructible by joining two sends on
order_id. I didn't chase it here — bond/payout.rs:455 already logs
recipient beside order_id with no relay needed, and that's a line you asked
me to put back. It belongs to the structural half #836 stays open for. Flagging
it so the narrowing isn't mistaken for a guarantee.

Green: cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features,
cargo test --bin mostrod — 1323 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored.

[ToRyVand]

Correction first, because I published something that isn't true.

The justification I gave for keeping sender was false. I wrote that an
unpaired trade key sits inside the repo's accepted threshold because the
first-contact drop 40 lines above already logs one. That log is inside
if let Some(gate) = gate, and app.rs:351-355 states the gate is None for
v1 gift wraps — which is exactly where this warning mostly fires, since
identity != sender is the normal dual-key layout there. The evidence does
not hold on the path that matters.

I took that from your review instead of probing it. That one's on me: being the
one under review doesn't move the burden of checking.

What it changes. event.id is gone from the line; it logs sender alone.
On the v1 path the outer event is signed by a throwaway key with a tweaked
timestamp (nip59.rs:153) precisely so it cannot be attributed to the rumor's
author — pairing that wrap id with the trade key sealed inside it undoes the
property. On v2, sender == event.pubkey (transport.rs:323), so the id adds
nothing there either. You asked for the half that tells one misbehaving client
from many; that half is sender, and it stands without the id.

send_dm moved to before the wrap, and lost its event id. Two reasons, both
from re-reviewing my own diff:

• Putting the only log after wrap_message_with left both failure paths
  silent. Message::from_json and the wrap each return Err having logged
  nothing, and job_flush_messages_queue reports it as error!("Failed to send message: {e}") — no order, no action, no destination — then drops the message
  after four retries. That is your round-1 criticism, dropped a key and put
  nothing back, relocated into the error path.
• Both wrap paths p-tag the recipient (transport.rs:208, nip59.rs:149), so
  an event id resolves straight back to the receiver — and two sends joined on
  order_id would rebuild the maker↔taker pairing I had just scrubbed from
  notify_users_canceled_order. Logging it would have quietly reopened the thing
  this PR closes.

Structured tracing fields on all three lines, not one. The argument I made
for send_dm — the redaction layer #836 leaves open can only act on named
fields — applies identically to the other two lines I touch. Applying it to one
of three was incoherent.

The let-else collapse moved into the chore commit, where it belongs: the
if let Ok(x) = x { x } else { … } shape existed only because the println!
was sitting in the then-arm.

The body is rewritten around all of this, including a section on what this
change does not guarantee: the invariant is per-line, not repo-wide, since
bond/payout.rs:455 logs recipient beside order_id by design and is one of
the lines you asked me to put back.

---

On the #849 conflict. You asked for the order to be decided rather than
discovered at merge, so: I'd like this one to land first and #849 to carry the
rebase. It's a single hunk, and #849 still has open items while this is down to
review. The resolution has changed shape with the above, so here it is against
the current head:

if missing_inner_signature(unwrapped.identity, unwrapped.sender, unwrapped.signature) {
    // Identity beside trade key is the linkage the two-key design keeps to
    // Mostro alone; `sender` alone is unpaired, and is what tells one
    // misbehaving client from many. No `event.id`: on the v1 path this is
    // the gift wrap, signed by a throwaway key with a tweaked timestamp
    // precisely so it cannot be attributed to the rumor's author.
    tracing::warn!(
        trade_key = %unwrapped.sender,
        "missing inner signature: identity differs from trade key"
    );
    return None;
}

#849's condition, this PR's body. If you'd rather #849 went first, say so and
I'll take the rebase here instead.

Green on afc39a2 (v0.18.7): cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features, cargo test --bin mostrod — 1323 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored.

[ToRyVand]

@AndreaDiazCorreia — heads-up rather than a nudge: your review here is against a shape this PR no longer has, so it may be reading as blocking something that is already gone.

You reviewed 4945eb8 — the CI gate plus 14 call-site fixes — and your blocking finding was that find_call_span in scripts/check_log_redaction.py missed the inline-{key} form. That file is no longer in the PR. @Catrya's review argued the scope was two PRs, not one: a privacy fix and a new CI gate, with 14 mechanical edits burying the four lines that actually pair two Nostr keys. She was right, so the gate and the call-site sweep both came out.

Current head e416e38 is 3 files, +26/−23 — only the four lines that log an identity key next to a trade key. The structural work the gate was standing in for is tracked on #836, where I also recorded a negative result: a Redacted<PublicKey> newtype is the right shape and the repo already has the pattern (price/providers/coingecko.rs:54, eltoque.rs:92), but it belongs to #836, not here.

Your other points were addressed in the rewrite. Happy to walk through anything, or you may prefer to just dismiss the old review — your call, I only wanted you to know it is pointing at deleted code.

[Catrya]

Request changes. Three of the four items below are body/commit-message only, but one of them changes what this PR is.

The four points from the last round are addressed. What follows is what's left.

---

1. The println! is the widest leak in this PR, and it is filed as a chore
that is "unrelated to redaction".

println!("Edited order: {:?}", edited_order) is not debug litter. It dumps a
whole Order, and on the side that survives edit_pubkeys_order that is:

• buyer_pubkey next to master_buyer_pubkey (or the seller pair) — the
  maker's identity ↔ trade key pairing, which is exactly what you are fixing
  in app.rs;
• next_trade_pubkey — which links this order to the same maker's next one. None of the four lines in the table breaks unlinkability across orders; this one does, and that is the strongest privacy claim available here;
• buyer_invoice where it is populated, which AGENTS.md names explicitly:
  "Scrub logs that might leak invoices or Nostr keys".

And it goes to stdout, so neither RUST_LOG nor the tracing_subscriber
redaction layer #836 stays open for would ever touch it.

The practical consequence of the current split: cherry-pick the fix(privacy)
commit alone onto a patch release and the worst of the four leaks stays behind. Move it into the privacy commit, or at minimum into the body's table and the criterion, and describe it for what it is.

2. The reason given for dropping event_id from send_dm does not close the channel it claims to close, on the default transport.

The argument is that the id resolves to the receiver through the wrap's p tag.
True, but incomplete on v2, which is the default: wrap_message_nip44 finalizes the kind-14 with Mostro's own key and p-tags the receiver, so every DM Mostro sends is publicly enumerable, with a timestamp and a recipient. The new line carries order_id — public, it is the d tag of the 38383 event — and its own timestamp. Given a relay archive, time-correlating the two yields
order_id → receiver, and joining the two sends of one cancellation on
order_id rebuilds the maker↔taker pairing you just scrubbed from
notify_users_canceled_order. On v1 the argument does hold (ephemeral key,
timestamp tweaked by up to two days) — but v1 is the deprecated path.

So the cost is real (the only join key between the log and the relay, which the
review asked for twice) and the benefit applies only to the transport on its way
out. Either put event_id back, or state this residual in the body next to the
bond/payout.rs one. What I don't want is for it to read as settled.

3. "21 of the 63" is wrong.

On this branch there are 65 enqueue_order_msg call sites and 23 pass a literal None. That figure appears in the commit message and the body, and it is the evidence you use to go further than the review asked — it should be exact.

4. The mostro-core line numbers are wrong, and shouldn't be there.

transport.rs:208 and nip59.rs:149 are cited; in 0.14.6 the p-tag is at
transport.rs:211 and nip59.rs:166. Beyond being off, AGENTS.md's
Documentation Guidelines prohibit hardcoded line numbers — the same nit you took in round 1 over AGENTS.md:48, now pointed at a crate that will version-bump under you. Cite the functions (gift_wrap_from_seal_with_pow,
wrap_message_nip44). The in-repo citation (bond/payout.rs:455) is accurate.

---

Smaller, not blocking:

• The util.rs comment cites a failure mode that cannot occur: "so an
  encrypt/PoW failure is traceable too" — send_dm wraps with
  WrapOptions::default(), pow: 0, so nothing is ever mined on the outbound
  path. And Message::from_json still runs before the log, so
  MessageSerializationError remains contextless; unreachable in practice from
  the drainer, which round-trips as_json → from_json, but the comment reads
  as if it were covered.
• The criterion as written doesn't describe the tree it leaves. "Two keys in one
  record" — pubkey_event_can_solve has two keys in one line and is reverted on purpose. The rule is two user keys. Worth saying so, or the next person
  applying it literally reopens that line.
• Commit subjects are 57 and 68 characters; AGENTS.md asks for ≤50.
• Pre-existing and out of scope, but adjacent enough to name: send_dm swallows the send when get_nostr_client() fails (if let Ok(client), then Ok(())),
  and the drainer removes the message from the queue believing it went out. This PR doesn't make it worse, but now that the only log sits before the wrap, the sole trace is "sending DM" with nothing after it. Separate issue.

On the #849 ordering: agreed, this one first. It's three files against a
mutation-testing PR that still has open items, and the resolution snippet you
posted matches the current head.

[ToRyVand]

All four addressed, plus the smaller points. Still based on afc39a2, now one commit, 3 files +35/−21.

1. The println! is now in the privacy commit

You're right about what it is, and I had it filed wrong. I checked it against edit_pubkeys_order: on a buy order it nulls only the seller pair, so the dumped Order still carries buyer_pubkey beside master_buyer_pubkey, plus next_trade_pubkey and buyer_invoice.

The two commits are now one, fix(privacy): drop logs that pair two user keys (47 chars, which also settles the subject-length nit), so the privacy fix can't be cherry-picked without it. The println! heads the table in both the body and the commit message, described as the widest of the five lines and the only one that links across orders.

2. event_id is back

I verified the transport difference before deciding. Through send_dm, wrap_message_nip44 signs the kind-14 with Mostro's key, p-tags the receiver, and leaves created_at untweaked. gift_wrap_from_seal_with_pow uses an ephemeral key and a 0–2 day tweak. So on the default transport, dropping the id bought nothing a timestamp doesn't already give, and it cost the only join key. It's back:

• The single sending DM line now sits after the wrap, with event_id, action, order_id and request_id.
• A wrap failure logs its own wrapping DM failed warning with the same routing fields (inspect_err). That keeps last round's error path covered: whichever way the wrap goes, each send leaves exactly one line.

The residual is in the body as its own point, and it doesn't read as settled. With a relay archive, the maker↔taker pairing on a cancellation can still be rebuilt on v2 by joining two sends on order_id. On v1 the id itself resolves the receiver, and that goes away with the transport (#786). The body now says the PR removes what is readable from the logs alone, not from logs plus an archive.

3. 23 of 65

I counted with a parser over balanced call arguments this time, not by eye. There are 65 enqueue_order_msg call sites, and 23 have a literal None in request_id's position, both notify_users_canceled_order sends among them. Your numbers exactly. Fixed in the commit message and the body. It's another number I asserted instead of counting, and that's the habit I most need to break.

4. Line numbers

Every mostro-core citation is now a function (wrap_message_nip44, gift_wrap_from_seal_with_pow), in the body, the commit message and the code comments. I also dropped the in-repo line numbers from the body (bond/payout.rs, the price providers), since the same rule applies to them.

Smaller

• util.rs comment: the PoW claim is gone (pow: 0, so nothing is mined). The new comment claims only what the code does, routing fields on both outcomes of the wrap. It says nothing about from_json, which still fails without context (unreachable from the drainer, as you say).
• Criterion: it now says "two user keys", and names pubkey_event_can_solve as the reason, since Mostro's own key is public.
• Subjects: one commit, 47 chars.
• send_dm's swallow is filed as send_dm returns Ok and the queue drops the message when the Nostr client is unset #960. While writing it up I found it's latent on both sides. main.rs installs the client before the scheduler starts, and initialize() installs it in the test binary, where the repo already notes the uninitialised branch isn't deterministically reachable. So it's filed as a contract bug, low priority.

Green on afc39a2 (v0.18.7): cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings and cargo test --bin mostrod (1323 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored). /code-review over the range came back clean.

On #849: its round 3 is answered too. The one-hunk resolution I posted here still applies unchanged: #849's condition with this PR's warn! body.
