Closes #202

Problem

open_dispute treated a successful relay publish as a successful dispute: it persisted Dispute { status: Open } right after publishing and never registered a pending-request waiter. The Dispute message also carried no request_id, so the daemon's CantDo rejection matched nothing in the dispatcher and was dropped (no matching pending request, ignoring event). The dispute stayed locally Open and the UI navigated to the dispute detail — a false success.

Fix

The Dispute message now carries a request_id nonce, which the daemon echoes in both DisputeInitiatedByYou and CantDo (verified in mostro src/app/dispute.rs and src/app.rs). open_dispute registers a pending record before publishing and waits up to 10 s, exactly like create_order / take_order / send_invoice. It persists only on a correlated acceptance; rejection and timeout return an error and write nothing.

The acceptance also carries the daemon's dispute UUID — the id its Kind 38386 event and the solver refer to — so the record is stored under it instead of a locally minted one.

No Dart changes: _openDispute already showed a localized SnackBar and rethrew without navigating, so propagating the error was enough.

Notes

The daemon replies CantDo only for MostroCantDo causes. A duplicate dispute or a daemon-side DB failure is an internal error it merely logs, so those surface as NoDaemonResponse rather than a precise reason.

Verification

cargo build, cargo clippy --locked -- -D warnings, cargo test (238 pass), flutter analyze, flutter test (195 pass). frb-generate.sh produces no drift — the public bridge surface is unchanged.

Tests cover the correlation layer, where the bug was: the kind/nonce gates of take_matching_dispute, a CantDo reaching the waiting caller through the dispatcher's lookup, and the dispute-id extraction. The end-to-end path needs a live daemon — pending manual check with the #203 repro.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

  • A record created for a peer-opened dispute still gets a local UUID, so the two sides know the same dispute under different ids. Documented in data-model.md.
  • fiat_sent, release and cancel still send no nonce and await no reply — the same false-success shape as this issue, in other actions.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Dispute requests now wait for daemon confirmation and use the daemon-provided dispute ID.

Walkthrough

open_dispute now waits for a correlated daemon response before local persistence. The flow handles acceptance, rejection, timeout, unmatched replies, publish failures, daemon dispute IDs, and late acceptance reconciliation.

Changes

Dispute correlation flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Correlated dispute message contract
rust/src/mostro/actions.rs, rust/src/mostro/pending.rs, specs/004-mostro-p2p-client/contracts/orders.md, specs/004-mostro-p2p-client/data-model.md
Dispute messages now include a request nonce. Pending requests support disputes. Acceptance replies can include the daemon-assigned dispute UUID.
Pending reply registration and dispatch
rust/src/api/orders.rs, rust/src/mostro/pending.rs, specs/004-mostro-p2p-client/contracts/orders.md
The orders API matches dispute waiters by request kind and nonce. Matching replies forward the parsed dispute ID. Late acceptances trigger reconciliation. Tests cover extraction, matching, and rejection handling.
Open dispute acceptance lifecycle
rust/src/api/disputes.rs, specs/004-mostro-p2p-client/contracts/disputes.md
open_dispute prevents concurrent openings for one trade and waits up to 10 seconds after publishing. It persists only accepted disputes with the daemon UUID. It reports rejection, timeout, protocol, and publish failures. Late accepted replies create unread local records when needed. Placeholder claims adopt the daemon ID. Evidence submission uses only the current chat payload and local recording path.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3fa28

The PR prevents disputes from being saved before the daemon accepts them, but timeout-and-retry or interruption races can still leave an order marked disputed without the corresponding local dispute record and daemon dispute ID. Merge should wait for this recovery risk to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

… placeholder

When claiming a peer-initiated placeholder during the open_dispute race window, adopt the daemon's dispute ID instead of keeping the locally-minted placeholder ID. The peer path never sees the daemon's ID, while an accepted open carries it; discarding it would lose the authoritative identifier. Add test coverage for ID preservation during claim (#275 review).

Strict review: changes requested

I would not approve this yet.

Blocking issue:

  • open_dispute still persists a locally generated dispute id when the accepted daemon reply does not carry a Payload::Dispute id. That contradicts the new daemon-id contract this PR introduces: the solver and Kind 38386 dispute events use the daemon UUID, so a locally generated fallback can recreate an unjoinable local dispute record. The late-acceptance reconciliation has the same fallback. Please fail closed instead: treat an acceptance without a daemon dispute UUID as a protocol error / unreconcilable malformed acceptance and persist nothing, and add a focused test for that case.

I verified the rest of the previously raised concurrency/late-acceptance concerns on the current head: the in-flight guard, placeholder id adoption, and late-acceptance reconciliation tests are present and pass locally.

Local verification run:

  • cargo test --lib → 248 passed, 8 ignored.

AndreaDiazCorreia added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 6, 2026
Reject malformed acceptances that carry no dispute_id in both open_dispute and record_late_acceptance. Dispute.id is contractually the daemon's identifier; minting a local fallback would create a record indistinguishable from a genuine one while being wrong. A conforming daemon always sends it (mostro src/app/dispute.rs notify_dispute_to_users), so this is a protocol-violation guard. Add test coverage for late acceptance rejection (#275

Strict re-review: changes requested

The previous daemon-id fallback blocker is fixed on this head, but I would still not approve yet.

Blocking issue:

  • The late-acceptance reconciliation still leaves an admin-created placeholder unchanged. If open_dispute times out, then admin-took-dispute creates the peer-style placeholder before the correlated DisputeInitiatedByYou acceptance is processed, record_late_acceptance calls upsert_or_update(..., |_| Ok(())) and keeps the local placeholder id plus initiated_by_me: false. That loses the daemon dispute id and ownership proof from the correlated acceptance, so the local record still violates the daemon-id contract in this race.

Please make record_late_acceptance claim only the placeholder shape that proves this race (InReview, non-initiator, no reason, solver present): preserve the solver/status, replace the local id with the daemon dispute id, and set initiated_by_me = true. Leave completed retry records unchanged. Add a focused test for that interleaving; the current a_late_acceptance_leaves_an_existing_record_alone test actually codifies the buggy behavior.

Verification:

  • cargo test --lib passes on the current head: 249 passed, 8 ignored.
  • A temporary focused test for the placeholder interleaving fails on this head: the record keeps the placeholder UUID instead of adopting the daemon UUID.

Strict re-review: approved

The latest head fixes the remaining daemon-id reconciliation blocker. I re-checked the prior concerns on the current commit:

  • Missing daemon dispute ID now fails closed and persists nothing.
  • Late acceptance with no local record creates a daemon-ID-backed dispute.
  • Late acceptance racing an admin-created placeholder now claims only the placeholder shape, preserves solver/status, and adopts the daemon dispute ID plus initiator ownership.
  • A successful retry record is left untouched.

Local verification:

  • cargo test --lib -- --nocapture → 250 passed, 8 ignored.
  • cargo clippy --locked -- -D warnings → passed.

No blocking issues remain from my review.

@AndreaDiazCorreia please do rebase to fix the conflicts

open_dispute persisted the local Dispute record as soon as the publish
succeeded, but a publish is not an acceptance. The daemon answers a dispute
the trade is not eligible for with CantDo, and that rejection had no pending
request to resolve, so it was dropped and the dispute stayed locally Open
forever.

The Dispute message now carries a random u64 request_id nonce and registers a
pending request before publishing, exactly like create, take and add-invoice.
Only a DisputeInitiatedByYou echoing that nonce creates the record, stored
under the dispute UUID the daemon assigned — the id its Kind 38386 event and
the solver refer to. An acceptance without that id fails closed instead of
minting a local one indistinguishable from a real one; a rejection surfaces
the daemon's reason; a timeout returns NoDaemonResponse having persisted
nothing.

An acceptance that lands after the timeout is still reconciled: its status
update moves the trade to Dispute either way, so dropping the record would
leave a disputed trade with no dispute to open and no solver to reach. When a
solver was assigned inside that window the record already exists as the
peer-style placeholder, and the correlated acceptance proves it is ours, so it
is claimed — daemon id and initiator flag replace the locally minted ones
while the solver and InReview survive. is_peer_placeholder holds that shape
test for both claim paths.

The open is single-flight per trade: two concurrent calls derive the same
trade key, so the second registration would replace the first one's pending
record and strand its waiter on a timeout the daemon never caused.

Rebased onto the current main: the correlation registry now lives in
mostro::pending (#120), so the dispute record kind, its matcher and the
registration helper go there alongside the take and add-invoice ones, and the
waiter channel carries a Wake (#259) rather than a bare DaemonReply.
The disputes contract now states what open_dispute waits for, that only the
correlated acceptance persists a record, how a late acceptance and the
peer-opened placeholder are reconciled, and the fail-closed guard on an
acceptance with no dispute id. The orders contract lists open_dispute among
the request-correlated calls, and the data model records that Dispute.id is
the daemon's for a dispute we opened while a peer-opened one is still known
locally under a minted UUID.

Strict review: changes requested

I re-reviewed the rebased current head (3fa2845b). CI is green and the previous daemon-id fallback / late-placeholder blockers are fixed, but one blocking race remains.

Blocking issue:

  • A retry after open_dispute times out overwrites the original timed-out pending dispute request for the same trade key. If the daemon later accepts the first request, take_matching_dispute(trade_pubkey_hex, old_request_id) no longer finds it, so record_late_acceptance is never called. The message then falls through as a status update, recreating the split state this PR is meant to prevent: the trade can move to Dispute without the daemon-ID-backed Dispute record.

Secondary issue:

  • The orders contract still says late dispute replies are "logged and dropped", but the implementation intentionally reconciles them through record_late_acceptance when the original pending record survives.

Verification:

  • cargo test --lib passes on the clean current head: 298 passed, 8 ignored.
  • A temporary focused regression probe for timeout → retry registration → original late acceptance fails on this head because the first request is overwritten by register_dispute_request.

I am not duplicating CodeRabbit's active inline threads beyond this verified verdict; the pending-request overwrite is still a blocker on the current head.

Review: changes requested

The bounded superseded-nonce list reintroduces the split state this PR is designed to prevent. After more than eight timed-out retries for the same trade key, register_dispute_request drops the oldest nonce. A delayed but genuine DisputeInitiatedByYou for that dropped attempt then returns None from take_matching_dispute; it falls through to the normal status arm, which changes the trade to Dispute without calling record_late_acceptance. The client again has a disputed trade with no daemon-ID-backed dispute record or solver context.

Please either retain every still-answerable timed-out nonce until it is resolved/rejected or make the retry limit fail closed (rather than discarding correlation state). Add a regression test that exceeds the bound and delivers the oldest acceptance, asserting reconciliation rather than a status-only update.

The focused dispute tests pass locally (31 passed). Note that the Web CI check is still in progress; this blocker is independent of that pending check.

Approved

Re-reviewed the current head. The nonce-retention fix removes the cap, preserves every still-answerable timed-out dispute nonce, and adds a regression test proving the oldest retained nonce reconciles without displacing the live waiter. The prior blocker is resolved.

Local verification: cargo test --locked mostro::pending::tests::every_superseded_dispute_nonce_stays_answerable -- --exact (1 passed) and cargo clippy --locked -- -D warnings passed. GitHub Rust, Flutter, and Web checks are green.

Reviewed at e139591, merged locally against current main (3641db9 — the branch is 14 commits behind and merges clean). On that merge: 305 Rust tests pass, cargo clippy --locked -- -D warnings and cargo check --locked --target wasm32-unknown-unknown — the exact CI commands — are clean. No Dart changes, and no FRB surface change (open_dispute keeps its signature, record_late_acceptance is pub(crate), dispute_id_from_payload is private).

Nothing here is broken. I verified the whole path end to end by writing the tests that are missing, and they pass. Both asks below are small, and one of them is a single sentence.

Blocking: the seam this PR creates is not covered by any test that runs the real code

The two central tests assert a copy of the logic rather than the logic:

  • a_cantdo_rejection_reaches_the_waiting_open_dispute re-implements the Action::CantDo arm inside the test itself — take_matching_restore(key).or_else(|| take_matching_request(key, Some(73))), under the comment "Exactly what the Action::CantDo arm does to find its caller" — and then sends the Wake by hand. It never calls dispatch_mostro_message. Add a kind gate to that arm and the test stays green while #202 comes back exactly as reported: the rejection matches no pending request and is dropped.
  • take_matching_dispute_only_consumes_dispute_records covers the matcher, not the dispatcher's if kind.action == Action::DisputeInitiatedByYou arm, and not the claim that the acceptance still falls through to the status arm.

This is the one place the PR asks to be trusted on, so it should be the one place a test drives the real dispatcher. The module already has that harness: a_late_cancel_for_a_superseded_generation_is_dropped builds an UnwrappedMessage with sender = active_mostro_pubkey() and calls dispatch_mostro_message directly.

Two tests are enough, and I confirmed on your branch that both pass as written, so this is missing coverage rather than a defect:

  1. Acceptance. Register a dispute request, seed the order as Active, dispatch a DisputeInitiatedByYou carrying that nonce and a Payload::Dispute(uuid, None), then assert the waiter receives DisputeAccepted with the daemon's id and that the order ends up Dispute — that second assertion is what pins the "falls through to the status arm" claim the comment makes.
  2. Rejection. Register a dispute request, dispatch a CantDo carrying that nonce with Payload::CantDo(Some(NotAllowedByStatus)), and assert the waiting caller receives Rejected. That is #202 itself, driven through the arm that was dropping it.

Two notes that cost me a compile each: CantDoReason is re-exported from mostro_core::error, not ::message, and Wake has no Debug, so the non-matching arm can't format it.

Blocking: "the whole record is purged when the trade's subscription ends" is not true in the common case

That sentence appears twice — in the doc-comment on PendingRequestKind::Dispute { superseded } and in contracts/disputes.md — and it is the justification for deliberately not capping the superseded list after the cap was pushed back on.

purge_pending_request has exactly one production caller: the exit of subscribe_daemon_messages (orders.rs:1299). That watcher only exists for trades created, taken or restored in this process. A dispute opened on a trade loaded from the database after an app restart has no per-trade watcher — its daemon messages arrive over the global mostro-dm feed — so its pending record, superseded list included, lives for the life of the process. Nothing purges it.

The decision itself still holds: the list only grows through user-driven retries, each gated by a 10-second wait, at eight bytes each. But the stated reason is wrong, and in specs/ — a living contract — it reads as a bound that does not exist. One sentence fixes it in both places.

Minor

  • DisputeAlreadyOpen is not mapped in lib/core/daemon_errors.dart. The new single-flight refusal ("an open_dispute for trade … is already in flight") falls through to the generic openDisputeFailed, as does the pre-existing "a dispute already exists". Not a regression — the marker was already missing — but this PR adds a second trigger for it. One line in the mapper plus a key in the five .arb files.
  • The CantDo reason is lost at the UI. bail!("{message}") produces the daemon's English prose, which matches no marker, so Dart shows the generic fallback. The user learns the dispute failed but not that it was NotAllowedByStatus — which is precisely the #203 case this is meant to make legible. That is the debt CLAUDE.md already records ("some CantDo errors still return English prose directly — should become markers"), so a follow-up rather than a change here, but worth an issue.
  • A superseded nonce is never removed once it has been reconciled as Late. Harmless, but the list then claims attempts are still outstanding when they are not. One line if you want it honest.

…n bound

The two central tests asserted a copy of the logic rather than the logic: the
CantDo test re-implemented the arm's own lookup and sent the Wake by hand, and
the matcher's test never reached the DisputeInitiatedByYou arm. Both now drive
dispatch_mostro_message itself, so a kind gate on the CantDo arm or a lost
fall-through leaves them red instead of green while #202 comes back. The
acceptance test also pins the fall-through the arm's comment claims: the same
reply that wakes the caller with the daemon's dispute id moves the trade to
Dispute.

The record's lifetime was documented as bounded by the trade's subscription. It
is not: purge_pending_request runs only when a per-trade watcher exits and
open_dispute starts none, so a dispute on a trade loaded from the database after
a restart — answered over the global feed — keeps its record for the life of the
process. The retention decision stands on the retry rate alone, and a superseded
nonce now leaves the list as soon as its reply is reconciled, so the list never
names an attempt already answered.

DisputeAlreadyOpen reached Dart unmapped, and this change set adds a second
trigger for it (the single-flight refusal), so both refusals now resolve to one
localized message instead of the generic open-dispute failure.

The CantDo reason is still lost at the UI as English prose — tracked in #373.
