Why

ARCHITECTURE.md was severely stale — still referenced MySQL constructs, had LOC counts from months ago (22.7K vs actual 72K), and was missing the largest crate entirely. Every claim needed verification against the live codebase.

Major corrections

What Was Now
Total LOC ~22.7K across 13 crates ~72K across 17 crates
Database syntax MySQL (INSERT IGNORE, GET_LOCK, JSON_CONTAINS, TO_DAYS) Postgres (ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, pg_advisory_lock, INNER JOIN event_mentions, PARTITION BY RANGE)
handler_semaphore 64 1024
MAX_SUBSCRIPTIONS 100 1024
Cron scheduler "TODO — not yet implemented" Fully implemented (window-based matching)
Local-echo dedup "TODO" Implemented (AppState.local_event_ids)
Feed mentions Full table scan (JSON_CONTAINS) Normalized table (INNER JOIN event_mentions)
MCP create_channel kind 40 kind 9007 (NIP-29)
MCP set_canvas e tag h tag
ALL_KINDS 74 entries 80 entries (KIND_AUTH excluded)
e2e tests 42 across 4 files 148 across 8 files
Auth paths Okta JWT in auth tag; dev mode grants [MessagesRead, MessagesWrite] Okta JWT in auth_token tag; dev mode grants Scope::all_known(); API tokens intercepted by relay handler
Slow client handling Immediate cancel on full buffer 3-strike grace limit (SLOW_CLIENT_GRACE_LIMIT)
Search indexing "spawned per event" Bounded worker queue (search_index_tx, capacity 1000)
Workflow webhooks "HMAC-SHA256 secret verification" Constant-time XOR comparison of stored UUID secret
Proxy kind tables Claimed kinds 4, 40, 43, 44 inbound Actually accepts 1, 7, 41, 42 only; outbound adds reactions + deletions

New content

  • sprout-acp section — 14,920 LOC (largest crate), was completely missing. Documents the Agent Communication Protocol harness: architecture diagram, module LOC table, key behaviors
  • REST API table expanded from 15 → 40 endpoints (verified against router.rs); approval endpoints annotated as unreachable (🚧 WF-08)
  • 4 new crates added to hierarchy: sprout-acp, sprout-sdk, sprout-media, sprout-cli
  • AppState struct expanded with Arc wrappers, relay_keypair, local_event_ids, search_index_tx; marked "not exhaustive"
  • Known limitations updated: removed 3 resolved items (cron scheduler, local-echo dedup, feed mentions), added 3 new ones (approval gates not wired e2e, workflow actions partially stubbed, no dedicated typing REST endpoint)
  • Infrastructure updated: Adminer/Keycloak ports corrected, MinIO + Prometheus added
  • Ephemeral pipeline updated: non-presence events now show local fan-out + dedup steps
  • SSRF expanded: added 0.0.0.0/8, 255.255.255.255, 2001:db8::/32
  • Huddle clarified: session types are data structures only, no active registry
  • Token hashing clarified: API tokens (caller pre-hashes) vs approval tokens (create_approval hashes internally)
  • Proxy kind translation rewritten: distinguishes KindTranslator mappings from actual proxy event flow

Verification methodology

Every numerical claim was verified against the live codebase:

  • Per-crate LOC via find crates/<name> -name '*.rs' | xargs wc -l
  • Appendix table sums to exactly 72,126
  • Constants verified via grep (handler_semaphore, MAX_SUBSCRIPTIONS, KIND_ count, #[tool( count)
  • REST endpoints cross-referenced against router.rs
  • Test counts verified per file
  • Zero stale MySQL references remain

Review process

7 rounds of crossfire review (Claude Opus subagents + OpenAI Codex CLI):

Round Reviewer Score Verdict Issues found
1 Codex CLI 5/10 REQUEST_CHANGES MAX_SUBSCRIPTIONS, cron TODO, ALL_KINDS, tool count, LOC sums
1 Opus #1 7/10 REQUEST_CHANGES Same + missing crate sections
1 Opus #2 6/10 REQUEST_CHANGES Same + missing known limitations
2 Opus 10/10 APPROVE All prior fixes verified
2 Codex CLI 7/10 REQUEST_CHANGES Approval gates, tool count nuance
3 Codex CLI 2/3 confirmed Tool count note added
4 Codex CLI 7/10 REQUEST_CHANGES Slow client, search queue, ephemeral fan-out, webhook security, SSRF
5 Codex CLI 8/10 REQUEST_CHANGES Auth paths, AppState struct, Typesense diagram
6 Codex CLI 8/10 REQUEST_CHANGES Proxy kind tables, token hashing, huddle sessions
7 Codex CLI 9/10 REQUEST_CHANGES Approval endpoints unreachable annotation

Each round found genuinely new issues in sections previous rounds hadn't deeply verified. All findings addressed. Round 7 verified 13 specific spot-checks (a–m) against source — all passed.

Commits

# Commit Scope
1 ARCHITECTURE.md accuracy pass — verified against every line of code Bulk: LOC, Postgres, new crates, sprout-acp, REST table, known limitations
2 fix 7 additional inaccuracies found by deep codex review Slow client, search queue, ephemeral fan-out, webhook security, SSRF, typing, workflow triggers
3 fix auth paths, AppState struct, and Typesense diagram per codex round 5 Auth tag/scopes/entry points, AppState fields, diagram label
4 fix proxy kind tables, token hashing, huddle session per codex round 6 Proxy inbound/outbound kinds, API vs approval token hashing, huddle session types
5 mark approval endpoints as unreachable per codex round 7 REST API table annotations for WF-08

What's deferred

  • Crate reference sections for sprout-sdk, sprout-media, sprout-cli (added to hierarchy but no detailed sections yet)
  • Dependency diagram edge completeness (some cross-crate deps not shown)
  • Event pipeline step count (ingest.rs has grown beyond the documented 12-step summary — a full rewrite of that section is a separate PR)

…code

Major corrections (main was stale — still referenced MySQL, wrong LOC counts):

- LOC: 22.7K → 72K across 13 → 17 crates (verified via wc -l)
- Postgres everywhere: ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, pg_advisory_lock, PARTITION BY RANGE,
  INNER JOIN event_mentions (all MySQL-isms removed)
- handler_semaphore: 64 → 1024, MAX_SUBSCRIPTIONS: 100 → 1024
- Cron scheduler: was 'TODO' → fully implemented (window-based matching)
- Local-echo dedup: was 'TODO' → implemented via AppState.local_event_ids
- Feed mentions: was 'full table scan' → normalized event_mentions table
- MCP: kind 40 → 9007 (NIP-29), e tag → h tag, 43 registered tools
- ALL_KINDS: 74 → 80 entries (KIND_AUTH excluded)
- 148 e2e tests across 8 files (was 42 across 4)

New content:
- sprout-acp section (14,920 LOC — largest crate, was missing entirely)
- sprout-sdk, sprout-media, sprout-cli added to crate hierarchy
- REST API table expanded: 15 → 40 endpoints (verified against router.rs)
- MinIO and Prometheus added to infrastructure
- Approval gates limitation clarified (executor + API exist, engine not wired)
- send_dm/set_channel_topic workflow actions noted as stubbed

Crossfire reviewed: 3 rounds × (opus + codex CLI). All numbers verified
against live codebase. Appendix sums to exactly 72,126.
- Slow client handling: not immediate cancel — 3-strike grace limit
- Search indexing: bounded worker queue (capacity 1000), not spawned per event
- Ephemeral pipeline: non-presence events now have local fan-out + dedup
- Workflow webhooks: constant-time XOR secret comparison, not HMAC-SHA256
- Typing indicators: local fan-out now works — limitation updated
- Workflow trigger exclusions: relay-signed + GIFT_WRAP also excluded
- SSRF: added 0.0.0.0/8, 255.255.255.255, 2001:db8::/32 to blocked list
…x round 5

- Auth paths: Okta JWT uses auth_token tag (not auth), API token path
  intercepted by relay handler (not verify_auth_event), dev mode grants
  Scope::all_known() (not just MessagesRead+MessagesWrite)
- AppState: expanded to show Arc wrappers, relay_keypair, local_event_ids,
  search_index_tx; marked as 'key fields, not exhaustive'
- Typesense diagram: 'spawned per event' → 'bounded worker queue'
- is_private_ip summary: added unspecified/broadcast/documentation ranges
…round 6

- Proxy kind translation: document actual accepted kinds (1,7,41,42 inbound;
  stream/edit/reaction/deletion outbound) vs full KindTranslator mappings
- Separate API token hashing (caller pre-hashes) from approval token hashing
  (create_approval hashes internally)
- Huddle: clarify session types are data structures only, no active registry
The engine marks approval-gated runs as Failed before creating
WaitingApproval rows, so the grant/deny endpoints are wired but
currently unreachable from normal execution (WF-08).
