Summary

Flips the daemon's default wire transport to protocol v2 (transport = "nip44") and bumps mostro-core to 0.14.5. gift-wrap (protocol v1) is not removed — it stays fully functional, but is now an explicit opt-in: a node only speaks gift-wrap if the operator deliberately writes transport = "gift-wrap" in settings.toml. Removing the gift-wrap code path remains scheduled for v0.19.0 (#786).

Changes

  • src/config/types.rs: new daemon-side default_transport()Transport::Nip44Direct, used as the #[serde(default)] for transport and in MostroSettings::default(). This intentionally overrides mostro-core's Transport::default() (still gift-wrap, kept for clients' migration needs).
  • src/config/settings.rs: Settings::get_transport() falls back to default_transport() instead of unwrap_or_default(), so send_dm() also degrades to nip44 when config isn't initialised.
  • settings.tpl.toml: ships transport = "nip44" and documents that this is the default and that gift-wrap is deprecated and opt-in only.
  • src/main.rs: comment + startup deprecation warning now say the operator opted into gift-wrap explicitly.
  • docs/TRANSPORT_V2_SPEC.md: transport table, release timeline (new v0.18.5 entry) and Phase 1 note updated.
  • README.md: it only described protocol v1. Now documents kind-14 NIP-44 as the default transport, adds a Protocol Transport (v1 vs v2) section, marks gift-wrap as deprecated explicit opt-in, and updates the event-kind table (14 added, 1/13/1059 marked v1-only), architecture diagram, [mostro] config example (transport, pow_first_contact), client snippet and doc links.
  • Cargo.toml / Cargo.lock: bump mostro-core 0.14.3 → 0.14.5 (pulls in the fix that ensures the rumor id is serialized inside the gift wrap, mostro-core#164).

Tests

  • transport_defaults_to_nip44 (replaces transport_defaults_to_gift_wrap)
  • transport_omitted_in_toml_deserializes_to_nip44 — a [mostro] block without transport lands on nip44, not on mostro-core's default
  • transport_gift_wrap_is_explicit_opt_in — writing transport = "gift-wrap" is still honoured
  • transport_falls_back_to_nip44 (settings.rs)

Test plan

  • cargo fmt, cargo clippy --all-targets clean
  • cargo test: 1181 passed (also green after the mostro-core 0.14.5 bump)
  • Operator upgrade note: existing deployments that rely on the old implicit gift-wrap default must add transport = "gift-wrap" to settings.toml before upgrading, or their node will start subscribing to kind 14 only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Protocol v2 now defaults to NIP-44 transport.
    • Existing gift-wrap transport remains available through explicit configuration.
  • Documentation

    • Updated configuration guidance to identify gift-wrap as deprecated and opt-in.
    • Added instructions for transitioning away from gift-wrap settings.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved fallback behavior when transport settings are omitted, consistently selecting NIP-44.

The daemon now starts on protocol v2 (transport = "nip44") when the
setting is omitted. gift-wrap (protocol v1) stays fully functional but is
only used when the operator explicitly writes transport = "gift-wrap" in
settings.toml. No gift-wrap code is removed — that is deferred to v0.19.0.

- add daemon-side default_transport() (Nip44Direct) and use it for the
  serde default, MostroSettings::default() and the get_transport()
  fallback, overriding mostro-core's Transport::default() (gift-wrap)
- settings.tpl.toml: ship transport = "nip44" and document that
  gift-wrap is deprecated and opt-in only
- update startup deprecation warning and docs/TRANSPORT_V2_SPEC.md
- tests: default is nip44, omitted key deserializes to nip44,
  explicit gift-wrap still honoured

Warning

Review limit reached

@grunch, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 30 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

The daemon transport default changes from gift-wrap to Nip44 direct. Shared default logic covers configuration deserialization, default settings, and fallback lookup. Tests, templates, specifications, comments, and deprecation warnings reflect the change.

Changes

Transport default migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define the daemon transport default
src/config/types.rs
Adds default_transport(), applies it to MostroSettings, and tests Nip44 defaults with explicit gift-wrap support.
Apply the default during settings lookup
src/config/settings.rs
Uses the shared Nip44 fallback and tests uninitialized settings, configured transports, and global configuration access.
Document transport selection and deprecation
settings.tpl.toml, docs/TRANSPORT_V2_SPEC.md, src/main.rs
Documents Nip44 as the default and gift-wrap as explicit opt-in. Runtime guidance explains the deprecated setting.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 05b77

The daemon now defaults to NIP-44 while preserving gift-wrap as an explicit opt-in; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

I hop through Nip44,
While gift-wrap stays opt-in.
Defaults now choose the path,
Tests confirm the setting math.

A node with no `transport` line starts in `nip44`. Operators who still need
to serve protocol-v1 clients must write `transport = "gift-wrap"` explicitly
in `settings.toml`; it is never selected automatically.

P2 Badge Show nip44 in the configuration example

The only TOML example immediately above this paragraph still sets transport = "gift-wrap". An operator copying the canonical example will therefore explicitly select deprecated protocol v1 and defeat the new fresh-install default described here; change the example to nip44 or clearly label it as a legacy opt-in example.

Fixed in 05b77c8 — the §4 example now uses transport = "nip44".

…port fallback

- docs/TRANSPORT_V2_SPEC.md: the §4 TOML example now shows the default
  transport = "nip44" instead of the deprecated gift-wrap
- settings.rs: extract transport_or_default(Option<&Settings>) so the
  None (uninitialized MOSTRO_CONFIG) branch is actually exercised by a
  unit test; add a test for the configured-value branch too
Pulls in the fix that ensures the rumor id is serialized inside the gift
wrap (mostro-core #164).
The README only described the NIP-59 gift-wrap wire format. Document the
kind-14 NIP-44 transport as the default, add a 'Protocol Transport (v1 vs
v2)' section, mark gift-wrap as deprecated explicit opt-in, and update the
event-kind table, architecture diagram, [mostro] config example, client
snippet and doc links accordingly.
