Summary

Adds docs/PAYER_HISTORY_ANTI_TRIANGULATION.md, the engineering plan for the anti-triangulation mechanism described in this specification, and links it from docs/README.md. Docs only — no code changes.

The gist defines the mechanism (buyer declares the fiat payer identity, seller verifies the sender, Mostro reports aggregate success history for that buyer + payment identity). This document maps it onto the actual codebase:

  • Context / problem — the triangulation scam, why payment references and declared details alone fail, and the reuse-vs-burn asymmetry the signal exploits.
  • Baseline facts (with file:line refs) — identity vs trade keys, how Full Privacy Mode really works in mostrod (no users row, master_*_pubkey == trade key, i.e. no cross-trade continuity), what Mostro relays today, the single Status::Success writer (release::payment_success CAS), what is public on Nostr.
  • Locked design decisions — history keyed on master_buyer_pubkey; plaintext payer details never reach Mostro (hash only, plaintext goes buyer→seller over the peer channel); honest buyer_mode = full_privacy answer with nothing stored; increment only on the Success CAS; disputed trades don't count; counterparties stored as keyed hashes; push at fiat-sent + optional seller query; additive protocol surface only; off by default.
  • Protocol changes for mostro-coreAction::{DeclarePayer, PayerDeclared, PaymentHistory}, Payload::{PayerDeclaration, PaymentHistory}, CantDoReason::{InvalidPaymentHash, PayerNotDeclared}, verify() matrix, wire examples.
  • Canonicalisation contract for clients (domain-separated sha256("mostro-payer-v1|" + canonical)).
  • Daemon plan[payer_history] config, info-event tags, migration (three private tables, no orders/users changes), src/app/payer/ module with handler sketches, the ten-line success hook, prune job, Cashu cross-track obligation.
  • Authorization & privacy analysis — why there is no same_user oracle, who learns what, residual risks.
  • Client UX contract, suggested risk tiers, forbidden wording.
  • Test plan, PR breakdown (PH-0 … PH-6 across mostro-core, mostrod, protocol), Definition of Done, open questions and deferred extensions.

Things worth discussing in review

  • Full Privacy Mode: the gist says the mechanism must "work with" it; on this codebase that can only mean compatible, not functional (there is nothing to key history on). The spec returns an explicit buyer_mode = full_privacy and stores nothing; hash-only history is listed as a future extension with its risk.
  • D-6: disputed trades never build history (conservative); see §17.
  • §10.4: post-Success queries answer not_found (declaration row is consumed on success); see §17.

Test plan

  • Markdown renders; all file:line references checked against main and mostro-core 0.14.5
  • Review by maintainers / client authors (Concept ACK on §4 locked decisions before PH-0)

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds a complete specification for opt-in payer-history anti-triangulation support. It defines hash-only declarations, four aggregate counters, experienced-counterparty qualification, private storage, transactional success recording, authorization, client and Cashu integration, tests, rollout criteria, and a documentation index link.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2130e

This documentation-only PR defines payment-history and anti-triangulation behavior, but its current contract still contains inconsistencies that could lead to false success publication, unreliable history delivery, privacy-sensitive data entering the protocol, incorrect client trust tiers, or rollout incompatibility. It should not be merged until these bounded design issues are corrected or explicitly accepted by the owners.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with hashes tucked under my ear,
Four quiet counters make the design clear.
Experienced peers gain a monotone mark,
Success and retries share one transaction arc.
The guide now waits where the docs links spark.

Do not propagate history-build errors after FiatSent is durable.

order_updated.update(pool).await? completes before this block. If build_for_order(...).await? fails, fiat_sent_action returns an error after the order is already FiatSent. A retry then fails the status check, and the seller may not receive the history push. Catch the error, log it, and return successfully as required by the following paragraph.

Proposed handling
-if let Some(h) = payer::history::build_for_order(pool, ctx.keys(), &order_updated).await? {
-    enqueue_order_msg(None, Some(order_updated.id), Action::PaymentHistory,
-                      Some(Payload::PaymentHistory(h)), seller_pubkey, None).await;

270-271: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the stale pm field from the daemon-facing flow.

PayerDeclaration defines only payment_hash at Lines 343-347, but this sequence still shows {h, pm} on both messages through mostrod. An implementer can reintroduce payment_method and relay client-controlled payer data, which breaks the hash-only privacy contract. Change both messages to {h}. If a method identifier is required, define and validate a non-sensitive allowlisted field across the protocol, daemon, and storage.

Add an experienced_counterparties metric alongside distinct_counterparties:
a counterparty qualifies when, at success time, it already had >= N
successful undisputed trades with OTHER buyers spanning >= D days
(current trade and same-buyer trades never count). The flag is stored
per (buyer, payment_hash, counterparty_id) and is monotone 0->1.

N and D are node policy ([payer_history] experienced_min_trades /
experienced_min_days, defaults 5/30), advertised on the info event.
Established tier now requires experienced_counterparties >= 1.

The flag is **monotone** and is evaluated only when a success is recorded. A
counterparty stored with `experienced = 0` is upgraded to `1` only when a
*subsequent* successful trade with the same `(buyer, payment_hash)` pair
happens after the seller has crossed the thresholds; it is never flipped
retroactively merely because the seller's record improved later, and it never
flips back.

Define how threshold changes affect stored snapshots.

The experienced flag is monotone and is never re-evaluated, but N and D are operator-configurable. Raising thresholds leaves old experienced = 1 rows counted under a stricter policy. Lowering thresholds leaves old experienced = 0 rows unupgraded. Current info-event tags cannot explain this mixed population.

Freeze thresholds after first use, store the evaluated policy version with each snapshot, or define reset/recompute behavior.

Based on the D-7 snapshot and configuration contracts in this document.

Publish the Success event only after the transaction commits.

The supplied payment_success context calls update_order_event(..., Status::Success, ...) before the SQL CAS, and that call builds and publishes the event. The new history hook can fail after that publication. The database can then roll back while peers have already received Success.

Build the event without publishing, commit the CAS and history together, then publish the success and completion messages. A transactional outbox is another valid solution.

Based on the supplied src/app/release.rs, fn payment_success context.

payment_success so update_order_event builds the Success event without
publishing before the SQL CAS; commit the order CAS and db::bump_history

**Suggested tiers** (client policy, not protocol):

| Tier | Condition (all of) | Wording |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Established | `successful_trades ≥ 5`, `distinct_counterparties ≥ 3`, `experienced_counterparties ≥ 1`, `first_success_at` ≥ 30 days ago | "Established payment account" |
| 🟡 Limited | `successful_trades ≥ 1` and not Established | "Limited payment history" |
| 🔴 New | `successful_trades == 0` (`buyer_mode == reputation`) | "No previous successful trades with this account" |
| ⚪ Unavailable | `buyer_mode == full_privacy` | "History unavailable (buyer trades in full-privacy mode)" |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use an explicit age comparison for the Established tier.

The table uses first_success_at ≥ 30 days ago. Because first_success_at is a Unix timestamp, that literal predicate reverses the intended age check. A client can classify a recent account as Established.

Use now - first_success_at >= 30 days or first_success_at <= now - 30 days.

Based on the timestamp contract and tier table in this document.

the Established tier’s first_success_at condition to explicitly require an
account age of at least 30 days, using now - first_success_at >= 30 days or the
equivalent timestamp comparison. Preserve the other tier conditions and wording.
