Fresh installs now generate two independent ed25519 keys — one as the
network (QUIC) identity in identity.key, and a SEPARATE one as the
default posting identity in posting_identities. They share nothing.
v0.6.0 upgraders: if the default posting key equals the network key
(the state Phase 4's migration left us in), rotate identity.key to a
fresh random value. The old key stays in posting_identities as the
default persona — peers keep seeing the same author on our posts; only
the QUIC NodeId changes. A one-shot reconnect-churn on upgrade, then
back to normal.
Storage:
- Drop seed_posting_identity_from_network (v0.6.0-specific helper)
- Add count_posting_identities()
Node::open_with_bind:
- Load identity.key (network secret — network-only from now on)
- Ensure posting_identities has at least one entry; if empty, generate
an INDEPENDENT random posting key as the default
- Detect default-posting-key == network-key collision and rotate
identity.key, logging the migration
- default_posting_id / default_posting_secret resolved from storage
Decrypt:
- decrypt_posts now takes &[PostingIdentity] and tries each held
persona as a recipient candidate. Past DMs to any persona on this
device (including ones added via Import as personas) decrypt
correctly. Callers pre-load list_posting_identities() alongside
group_seeds.
- decrypt_just_created looks up the author's specific posting identity
rather than assuming the default.
Profile broadcasts (wire-level privacy):
- Profile stays keyed by network NodeId — the field is load-bearing
for N1/N2/N3 social routing (anchors/recent_peers/preferred_peers
feed build_preferred_tree_for and peer-anchor reachability lookup).
- But push_profile and InitialExchange now STRIP display_name, bio,
and avatar_cid before sending, via new
PublicProfile::sanitized_for_network_broadcast(). A name attached to
the network id would correlate the QUIC endpoint to a human. Until
v0.6.2 introduces persona-signed profile posts, peers display
authors as hex.
Auto-follow only the default posting id (network id is never an
author, following it would be dead weight).
All 111 core tests pass.
