What

trade_pubkey_action persisted the maker's trade-pubkey rotation with a full-row Crud::updateUPDATE orders SET <all columns> WHERE id = ?, with no status guard. This routes it through a compare-and-swap instead, and moves the confirmation message after the persist.

Why

#866 converted every pre-trade order writer to a compare-and-swap guarded by status IN ('pending','waiting-taker-bond'), so that a writer working from a snapshot read earlier loses cleanly instead of overwriting whatever committed in the meantime. The sweep covered cancel.rs, take_buy.rs, take_sell.rs, add_invoice.rs and bond/flow.rs.

The trade-pubkey rotation was not part of it. #871 later rewrote this handler's ownership checks but left the persist as it was, so the invariant the sweep established did not actually hold across the whole pre-trade window.

The pre-trade window has concurrent writers outside the (sequential) event loop: the scheduler's expiry job, and — with anti-abuse bonds enabled — the bond invoice subscriber, whose resume path holds the order pre-trade across an LND create_hold_invoice round trip. A full-row write from this handler can therefore land on top of state another writer already committed, and it carries every column, not just the two the rotation means to move.

Separately, the confirmation was enqueued before the persist, so a write that never landed still told the maker their key had rotated. That is #811.

Changes

  • src/db.rs: cas_rotate_maker_trade_pubkey — writes only the maker-side trade pubkey (seller on a sell order, buyer on a buy order) and creator_pubkey, guarded by the existing PRETRADE_STATUSES.
  • src/db.rs: cas_complete_pretrade_take narrowed to the taker side only. This is the widest behavioural change here — it affects take_sell, take_buy, the bond resume and show_hold_invoice, not just the rotation. A take never learns new maker-side values (every caller copies them from its own snapshot), so writing them back could only undo someone else's committed write: a rotation landing during the create_hold_invoice round trip used to be reverted here, and only halfway — creator_pubkey was left alone, and the resulting mismatch fails the seller_pubkey == creator_pubkey gate in handle_child_order.
  • src/app/trade_pubkey.rs: persist through the CAS; reject with NotAllowedByStatus and log when the order left the pre-trade window; send the confirmation only after the write lands.

Tests

  • cas_rotate_maker_trade_pubkey wins from both pre-trade statuses and moves nothing but the two intended columns; wins on the buyer side of a buy order; misses on an order that already moved past the window, with the row left byte-for-byte intact.
  • cas_complete_pretrade_take preserves a concurrent maker rotation, creator_pubkey included.
  • trade_pubkey_action does not confirm a rejected rotation ([MEDIUM] trade_pubkey confirmation sent before the rotation is persisted #811) — both the pre-check rejection and the CAS miss — and a successful rotation leaves taker context and escrow material untouched.

Full suite green: 1241 passed. cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings clean.

Scope

The pre-trade CAS invariant now holds for the Lightning paths. It does not yet hold for the Cashu take path: show_cashu_escrow_request (added by #830, after the #866 sweep) still persists with a full-row write built from a pre-claim snapshot and reverts a concurrent rotation. Filed as #919 rather than folded in here — routing it through cas_complete_pretrade_take is not a drop-in, since claim_order_status has already moved the row out of the guard's range; the issue spells out what the real fix involves.

Walkthrough

trade_pubkey_action now performs a status-guarded maker-key rotation. The database updates only the maker key and creator_pubkey. Confirmation is sent after persistence succeeds. Tests cover rejected rotations, CAS misses, and preservation of taker and escrow fields.

Changes

Maker trade-key rotation

Layer / File(s) Summary
CAS persistence and validation
src/db.rs, src/app/trade_pubkey.rs
cas_rotate_maker_trade_pubkey binds the new key once and writes it to both maker-side fields. CAS misses return NotAllowedByStatus. Tests verify unchanged taker, escrow, status, and timestamp fields.
Handler persistence and confirmation flow
src/app/trade_pubkey.rs
The handler accepts Pending and WaitingTakerBond, validates only the maker key, invokes the CAS operation, and confirms only after successful persistence. Rejected rotations and CAS misses send no confirmation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f6e3f

The PR narrows trade-pubkey rotation writes to a guarded compare-and-swap and sends confirmation only after persistence succeeds. It is mergeable with explicit deployment-owner awareness because concurrent application instances may still make stale schema decisions and cause one migration attempt to fail after another removes columns.

Strict review on current head 4905c760eca0a8e41a2671f98fe0e89b531ad9b8: I would approve this PR.

I verified the trade_pubkey_action path now persists the maker rotation before enqueueing the confirmation, rejects post-pre-trade rotations without confirmation, and uses a targeted CAS that only updates the maker-side trade pubkey plus creator_pubkey. I also re-checked the prior P1 concern: cas_complete_pretrade_take now writes only the taker-side columns, so a pending take committing from a stale snapshot preserves a concurrent maker rotation, including creator_pubkey.

Validation:

  • GitHub Actions are green on this head: fmt, clippy, test, MSRV build, build.
  • Local git diff --check 792a8b3b1534fa543559814df3dda51fcf71505f...4905c760eca0a8e41a2671f98fe0e89b531ad9b8 passed.
  • Local cargo fmt --all -- --check passed.
  • Local cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings passed.
  • Local cargo test --all-features passed: 1229 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored (+ cashu_mint ignored as expected).
  • Focused regression tests for the rotation/take race and no-confirm-on-reject paths passed.

No blocking findings remain from my review.

Reviewed head 4905c76. Verified locally: cargo fmt --check, clippy -D warnings, and the cas_* / trade_pubkey* tests (45) all green. CI green.

The fix itself is right — persist-then-confirm closes #811, the maker-side CAS carries creator_pubkey (avoiding the half-revert that breaks the seller_pubkey == creator_pubkey gate), and narrowing cas_complete_pretrade_take to the taker side is safe: I checked every caller (take_buy.rs:154-197, take_sell.rs:240-242, show_hold_invoice at util.rs:1584-1585, bond resume) and none carries new maker-side values — they all copy from the snapshot.

Requesting changes for one reason only:

1. Rebase — main has a new pre-trade full-row writer this PR does not cover

The branch is 4 commits behind main (merges clean, no conflicts). #830 (0be0ab9) added show_cashu_escrow_request (src/util.rs:1679-1733 on main):

if !claim_order_status(pool, order.id, Status::Pending, Status::WaitingPayment).await? { ... }
order.seller_pubkey = Some(seller_pubkey.to_string());   // from the pre-claim snapshot
...
order_updated.update(pool)                                // full-row

A rotation landing between the order read and claim_order_status wins the CAS and confirms the maker — then this update reverts seller_pubkey and creator_pubkey to the snapshot. That is exactly the class of bug this PR's description says is now closed "across the whole pre-trade window". Not introduced here, but the claim no longer holds on main.

Ask: rebase, and route that write through cas_complete_pretrade_take (it fits now that the helper is taker-only; #830's own comment already warns about "narrowing the write"). If you'd rather keep it out of this PR, open an issue and link it from the description instead — but one of the two.

2. Follow-ups filed (not blocking)

  • #911 — the in-flight take still sends PayInvoice / WaitingSellerToPay to the maker's pre-rotation key: the row survives, the flow does not. The doc-comment on cas_rotate_maker_trade_pubkey reads as if the race were fully resolved; worth a one-line caveat pointing at #911.
  • #912trade_index is not rotated with the key (pre-existing).

Please add Follow-ups: #911, #912 to the PR description.

3. Description

  • The Changes section omits the third commit (cas_complete_pretrade_take taker-only), which is the widest behavioral change in the PR — it affects take_sell, take_buy and the bond resume, not just the rotation.
  • "See also #902" does not resolve to a PR.

Inline nits below are non-blocking. Will approve once rebased and the Cashu writer is either fixed or tracked.

…bbering

Introduce cas_rotate_maker_trade_pubkey, a compare-and-swap that writes only the maker-side trade pubkey and creator_pubkey while the order is still pre-trade (pending or waiting-taker-bond). Guards on pre-trade statuses so a rotation handler working from a stale snapshot loses cleanly instead of reverting a concurrent take that committed waiting-payment with escrow material.
…reserve concurrent maker rotations

cas_complete_pretrade_take previously wrote all six pubkey/master/index columns from the caller's snapshot, which could revert a maker trade-pubkey rotation that committed during the create_hold_invoice round trip. The take now writes only the taker side (selected by order kind, matching cas_promote_taker_context), so a concurrent rotation on the maker side survives. The maker's pubkey, master key and trade index are persisted at order creation and a take never learns new values for them.

Serialize schema discovery with the migration.

The schema checks run outside the transaction. Two processes can both find the legacy columns, then one can remove them before the other executes its stale ALTER TABLE, causing connect() to fail. Start a write transaction before checking the columns, then perform the checks and drops under that transaction.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 1 remains after this review.

The maker-side column and creator_pubkey always take the same value, so
reuse the numbered parameter instead of binding it twice.

Also note on the function what the CAS does not fix: a take already in
flight keeps addressing the maker with the pre-rotation key it read at
the top, because its messages are built from its own snapshot. The row
survives the race; the conversation does not (#911).
The rejected-rotation test uses a post-pre-trade status, so it stops at
the handler's pre-check and never reaches the compare-and-swap: the
`!rotated` branch had no handler-level coverage. Add a test that gets
there, standing a BEFORE UPDATE / RAISE(IGNORE) trigger in for the
racing writer, and say in the existing test's doc which path it covers.

Log the CAS miss as well. Every other CAS-miss site records the order
id; this one returned silently, which is the one trace that would show
a rotation and a take colliding in production.

@grunch thanks for the review — rebased and addressed. New head f6e3f16; cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings and the full suite (1241 passed) are green locally.

1. Rebase and the Cashu writer

Rebased onto main — clean, no conflicts.

The show_cashu_escrow_request write is filed as #919 and linked from the description, rather than folded in here.

One thing worth recording from evaluating it: routing that write through cas_complete_pretrade_take is not a drop-in. claim_order_status has already advanced the row to WaitingPayment by the time the persist runs, so the helper's pre-trade guard would match zero rows. The real fix is to drop claim_order_status and let a single cas_complete_pretrade_take carry both the taker-side write and the status transition — the way show_hold_invoice and take_sell already do. That moves the guard to after update_order_event, so the loser publishes a NIP-33 event before finding out it lost and has to repair the relay view with republish_winning_state_after_cas_miss. It also has to keep the two ordering constraints the current comments at L1712-1727 protect (no clobbering a TA-1 lock CAS, neither enqueue_order_msg above the persist — a taker-only CAS satisfies the first by construction), and the three existing tests would need to follow. All of that is spelled out in the issue.

2. Description

3. Inline nits

src/db.rs — duplicate bind. Done, ?2 reused for both columns with a single .bind.

src/db.rs — doc-comment overclaims. Done. The caveat now says the row surviving is not the flow surviving: the in-flight take keeps addressing the maker from its own snapshot, and points at #911.

src/app/trade_pubkey.rs — no log on the CAS miss. Done, tracing::info! with the order id.

src/app/trade_pubkey.rs — the CAS-miss branch is untested. Did both halves of your ask. The existing test's doc-comment now says explicitly that it covers the pre-check rejection, and trade_pubkey_action_does_not_confirm_a_cas_miss covers the !rotated branch at handler level. There is no injection point between get_order and the UPDATE, so a BEFORE UPDATE ... RAISE(IGNORE) trigger stands in for the racing writer: the row is skipped and the handler sees the same rows_affected() == 0 a no-longer-matching status guard would produce. Same technique as simulate_concurrent_claim (dev_fee.rs) and vanish_after_pending (bond/flow.rs).

4. Not done — CantDoReason unification

Left as is, and I want to flag it rather than quietly skip it.

The pre-check / CAS-miss split is already the repo convention, not an inconsistency local to this handler:

  • take_sell.rs:84 and take_buy.rs:46 — pre-check, InvalidOrderStatus
  • take_sell.rs:44 — CAS miss, NotAllowedByStatus

Exactly the same pair this handler has. Unifying only here would make trade_pubkey the outlier; unifying repo-wide changes a client-facing error code and reads like its own PR. I documented the reasoning in a comment at the CAS-miss site so the next reader does not re-litigate it.

Happy to change it either way if you'd rather — just say which direction.
