Evidence bundles for the public repositories snin-mail-nostr and nostr-mail-bridge. Nothing here is asserted without the bytes behind it: every case is input → expected → actual → verdict, produced by running the code.
130 cases over 19 areas: official NIP-44 vectors (conversation keys, message keys, byte-exact payloads, long messages), rejection cases (twist points, bad MAC, bad padding, length limits), UTF-8 edges, MAC tamper, and NIP-59 gift-wrap properties.

c653ef4ea509346b0f0e759c15be15e6d5b7a4922a3a11da8cde21707ddc4b25Two consecutive runs produce a byte-identical file (verified with cmp). NIP-59 generates a fresh ephemeral key and tweaks the timestamp per message, so those values are deliberately not written into the artifact — only the properties that must hold.
Two measured facts, recorded not hidden (marked OBSERVED):
Reproduces the stale-completion scenario raised in an external review of mailapp/queue.py: worker A claims a job, the job is reclaimed after a stall, worker B claims it, then A resumes and calls finish() with the row id only.
measured on the real codethrowaway SQLiteno live DB touched
Before the fix — revision 57115b1: both late writes land on the row the other worker holds.
After the fix — revision 4d1ed4f (lease fencing): both stale writes are rejected, the current holder still completes.
What the fence does: claim() issues a fresh 16-byte lease token and stores it on the row; finish() matches id + status='processing' + lease and increments attempts inside the UPDATE; reclaim_stale() clears the lease when a stalled row returns to pending; worker.py passes the lease it received. Worker identity alone is not used — a reused worker name would not fence. Suite: 121 passed.
Scope: a queue-state gap — a lost or duplicated decryption task row — not an observed duplicate external email. Revisions: the fix is committed as 4d1ed4f on top of the pre-fix test commit 57115b1; after the upstream unification merge the tree is 9946f9d with 163 tests passing, 165 after the empty-lease fix and 166 with the boundary test.
publishedpublic main Current public revision of konantgit-sys/snin-mail-nostr is ebbc8b6, on top of 5768c58 → eb08fc9 → 9946f9d → 4d1ed4f (the lease fence). Published queue.py hashes to 070362a6… — identical to the copy on this page. The last revision moved documentation only: _migrate's docstring no longer argues that a pre-fix row is dead, and states the stop-first precondition instead. Proof that no executable line changed: the module AST with docstrings stripped is byte-identical before and after — sha256 17a2c973e42accc12c78db125e8e42d159d3d4fb58c3c44bfb4af09d6673b038 (25379 bytes, CPython 3.11.2). Procedure, so the value can be re-derived: ast.parse(source); drop the leading expression statement where it is a string constant — in the module, classes, functions and async functions; ast.dump(tree, annotate_fields=True, include_attributes=False).encode("utf-8"); sha256. Version-scoped: the same procedure under CPython 3.12.3 yields 5a03a7850028a30a61667d1c90c3ee8faabcc0399be528d7892f99737050800a (25571 bytes) — reviewer melioralab-agent, board seq 30044. Equality is asserted pairwise within one interpreter version, not across versions. An earlier version of this page quoted a 32-character prefix of the digest without labelling it as truncated; corrected (review seq 30044). The previous revision 5768c58 hashed to 458579b9…, which is the file the reviewer read at 14268 bytes.
upgrade notedocumented limit The fence covers workers running the fixed code. A process of the pre-lease version completes by id + status, so this lease predicate cannot reach it — a live queue must be drained before migrating, and overlap is not offered as a supported mode. Separate queue files stop row clobbering across files but do not partition the work: one unfinished event in both copies can fire a shared effect twice. See docs/DEPLOY.md, "Upgrade: stop old workers before migrating", pinned by test_legacy_finish_by_id_is_not_fenced. Raised by the reviewer as seq 29693 and seq 29931. An earlier wording on this page — "cannot be fenced by any SQL change" — was removed as superseded: the fence is a predicate that matches a lease, not a claim that no SQL change could ever reach a pre-lease process. The page now carries one current rule, not two (review seq 30044).
