A negotiation session lived only in memory, so a restart lost it. This adds save, restore, and close to both the channel and RFQ sessions, so a session can resume right where it left off after a restart. A restored session keeps its replay protection, and a finished deal stays finished.

Tests 52/52. Closes the SDK side of node #1036.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Channel and negotiation sessions can now be saved and restored after a restart, preserving their progress and current state.
    • Closed sessions reject outgoing actions, and closed channel sessions ignore incoming messages. Saved session details remain available after closing.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Restored sessions preserve sequence tracking and terminal negotiation outcomes, preventing replayed messages or new offers from changing saved state.

Channel and RFQ session state lived only in memory, so a process restart
lost an in-flight negotiation with no way to resume it.

Add checkpoint()/restore()/close() to both ChannelSession and RfqSession.
checkpoint() returns a plain-JSON snapshot (live demos client, CH-6
registry, and send callback are re-injected on restore, never serialized).
restore() rebuilds the exact prior state: the channel resumes at its
sequence floor so a replayed older message is still rejected, and it does
NOT re-register the channelId (the id was registered before the restart).
A restored terminal negotiation stays terminal. close() releases a session
locally, blocking further sends/receives while still allowing a final
checkpoint.

Walkthrough

ChannelSession and RfqSession now support checkpointing and restoration. Both session types add local close behavior, and the channel module exports their snapshot types.

Changes

Session Recovery and Closure

Layer / File(s) Summary
ChannelSession checkpoint and restore
src/l2ps/channel/session.ts, src/l2ps/channel/index.ts, src/tests/l2ps/channel.test.ts
ChannelSession checkpoints its sequence floor, transcript, identity, membership, and timestamps. Restore validates snapshot fields and resumes without registering the channel ID. Closing blocks messaging while leaving checkpoint access available. Tests cover recovery, replay rejection, and closure.
RfqSession checkpoint and restore
src/l2ps/channel/negotiate.ts, src/l2ps/channel/index.ts, src/tests/l2ps/negotiate.test.ts
RfqSession checkpoints and restores negotiation state, proposals, and outcome with new callbacks. Closing ignores inbound messages and rejects outbound actions. Tests cover restored proposals, terminal negotiations, and closure.

[Medium impact] The changes affect restart and message-order behavior in the SDK’s L2PS channel and RFQ workflows.

Do not merge yet: repeated restarts can reuse message numbers, and overlapping RFQ actions can reopen a finished negotiation.

Fix with agent prompt
### Issue 1
src/l2ps/channel/session.ts:275-277
`ChannelSession.restore()` accepts `persist` but does not pass it to the new session. Even when the caller supplies the hook, restored sends skip saving. Restore through sequence N, send N+1, then crash again before a manual checkpoint: the saved floor is still N, so the next restore can sign another message at N+1.

Forward `opts.persist` when rebuilding the session.

```suggestion
            demos: opts.demos,
            channelIdRegistry: opts.channelIdRegistry,
            now: opts.now,
            persist: opts.persist,
```

### Issue 2
src/l2ps/channel/negotiate.ts:214-215
`persistSettled()` clears `pending` even when another send is still running. Start `offer()`, then `abort()` before the offer finishes. Both save pending snapshots. If the offer finishes while the abort is still being delivered, it saves an open snapshot without `pending`. A crash after the peer receives the abort but before the local abort settles restores that snapshot as open.

Serialize complete RFQ actions, or keep the pending marker until every outstanding action has settled.

### Issue 3
src/l2ps/channel/session.ts:326-327
`restore()` copies timestamps from the old process but creates a new default clock. That clock starts from a different point after a restart. If the saved activity time is 300,000 ms and the new clock reads 1,000 ms, `liveness()` throws because the current time precedes the saved activity. Restore elapsed time against the new clock, with an explicit policy for time spent offline, rather than copying process-local timestamps.

### Issue 4
src/l2ps/channel/negotiate.ts:361-363
`close()` does not wait for pending sends, so a checkpoint taken afterward may not be final. Start `RfqSession.accept()`, close while `sendFn` is pending, then save both sessions. The send can still finish and settle the RFQ after those snapshots were captured. The saved RFQ remains open even though the peer received an acceptance. `ChannelSession.sendOutgoing()` can likewise append a signed message after close. Make shutdown wait for pending work, or refuse a final checkpoint until that work finishes.

Summary

Adds saved state, restore, and close support for channel and RFQ sessions.

  • Channel sessions resume from a saved transcript and sequence.
  • RFQ sessions restore their offers and keep finished deals finished.
  • The channel transport starts receiving at the restored sequence.

Assert inbound rejection after close.

The close test checks only sendOutgoing() after close(). A regression that allows receiveIncoming() after close would pass this test.

Reject invalid RFQ snapshot state and proposal sequences.

RfqSession.restore() assigns snapshot.state without validation. An unknown state leaves the session outside RfqState; onIncoming() drops all traffic, and assertOpen() rejects outbound actions. The restored session is stranded instead of rejected during restore.

Validate the state before assignment. Also reject proposal sequences that are not positive integers. The channel layer enforces this sequence contract for live messages, but it does not validate RFQ snapshot contents.

Rebase restored CH-4 timestamps.

restore() can load timestamps from a previous process's monotonic-clock epoch. The new clock can be earlier than those timestamps. checkLiveness() then throws instead of evaluating the CH-4 deadlines.

Rebase both timestamps to the new clock during restore. Reject non-finite snapshot timestamps at the restore boundary.

Automated launch review: needs-changes at d2eb10d

An automated reviewer checked this PR for the Demos mainnet launch. Each finding cites the code at this head. If a finding is wrong, reply here with the reason.

  1. [high] Stale checkpoint after sign/deliver lets restore reuse a channel sequence and re-sign a different envelope

    sendOutgoing advances highestSeen and signs, and transport.send delivers, all in one call, with no persist hook in between. If the last durable checkpoint predates a delivered message, restore() puts back the older floor, and the next send signs a new envelope at an already-used sequence. Peers silently drop it as a duplicate (transport.ts L185), so the two transcripts diverge with two valid signatures over one sequence. The snapshot docs only say to persist 'as the session progresses'. Fix: persist (or offer a persist hook) before releasing a signed envelope, and re-send the stored transcript bytes instead of signing anew.

    Code: src/l2ps/channel/session.ts:228-228, src/l2ps/channel/transport.ts:149-161, src/l2ps/channel/session.ts:157-184, src/l2ps/channel/transport.ts:185-185

  2. [medium] RfqSession has no pending-action marker; crash after sendFn re-drives offer/accept/reject/abort

    Every outbound RFQ action awaits sendFn before it updates _state/_standing. A crash after delivery but before the next checkpoint restores the session as 'open' with no record of the action, so the action can be issued again or replaced by a different terminal action. The peer then throws on a second offer (L303-306) or ignores it because it is already terminal (L294).

    Code: src/l2ps/channel/negotiate.ts:257-262, src/l2ps/channel/negotiate.ts:386-403, src/l2ps/channel/negotiate.ts:294-294

  3. [medium] closed flag is not persisted, so restore() revives closed sessions

    ChannelSessionSnapshot and RfqSessionSnapshot have no closed field, and neither restore() sets it, even though both checkpoint() docs advertise checkpointing after close(). A session restored from a final post-close snapshot accepts sends and receives again.

    Code: src/l2ps/channel/session.ts:52-63, src/l2ps/channel/session.ts:157-184, src/l2ps/channel/negotiate.ts:188-211

  4. [medium] L2PSChannelTransport cannot be resumed over a restored session (appliedSeq always starts at 0)

    appliedSeq is private, initialised to 0, and cannot be set from an option or from ChannelSessionLike. After restore at floor N, a new transport's drain looks for seq 1. The peer's N+1 then sits in the buffer (or is dropped once beyond MAX_REORDER_AHEAD), and any offline-queue replay of seq ≤ N reaches receiveIncoming and throws non-monotonic into onError. Traced, not executed. Whether the node replays already-applied sequences is not shown in the inputs.

    Code: src/l2ps/channel/transport.ts:113-113, src/l2ps/channel/transport.ts:47-56, src/l2ps/channel/transport.ts:193-200

  5. [low] Transport retry comment claims same-sequence re-emit, but retry signs a new sequence (pre-existing)

    The comment says a retry after a failed peer.send re-emits the same sequence. In fact transport.send calls sendOutgoing again, which reserves highestSeen+1 and signs a new envelope. Recipients that received the first attempt then see two sequences for one logical message. The covering test uses a fake session that never advances highestSeen, which hides this. The code is outside this diff, but it bears directly on the idempotent-resend question.

    Code: src/l2ps/channel/transport.ts:153-158, src/tests/l2ps/transport.test.ts:203-211

  6. [low] restore() inputs are weakly validated

    ChannelSession.restore does not check that transcript sequences are ≤ highestSeen or that the channelId is still registered. RfqSession.restore does not check that state/outcome are valid RfqState values or that outcome.state matches state. A corrupted or hand-edited snapshot is accepted as-is.

Security pass. Nothing is persisted by the SDK itself (snapshots are plain objects the caller stores), no keys or subnet secrets are in the snapshot, and there is no deep-merge or __proto__ sink. Two items I would fix before this is relied on as restart recovery:

  1. A restored session does not work with L2PSChannelTransport: the transport's appliedSeq starts at 0 and cannot be seeded, so after restore at highestSeen = N an inbound seq N+1 is buffered forever (drain waits for seq 1), and any replayed frame with seq <= N now reaches receiveIncoming and throws "non-monotonic" (channel-fatal onError) instead of being dropped as before. Seeding appliedSeq from the session on restore and including the #164 pending envelope in the checkpoint fixes both.
  2. checkpoint() is pull-based, so a crash between sendOutgoing (which bumps highestSeen) and the caller's checkpoint restores an older floor: the session signs a different message at an already-used sequence (the peer drops it as <= appliedSeq and the channel desyncs), and a rolled-back snapshot lowers the replay floor and, for RFQ, re-opens an already accepted deal. A persist hook called before the send leaves the process (write-ahead) plus a note that snapshots must be integrity-protected and saved atomically with the RFQ snapshot covers it.

Smaller: restore() only checks highestSeen and that transcript is an array; re-verifying each transcript entry, channelId, membership and highestSeen >= max seq keeps a tampered store from injecting messages that finalizeRfq would then co-sign. closed is not in the snapshot, so a closed session restores as open. The default in-memory registry loses CH-6 across restart (a markSeen on restore would keep channelId reuse blocked).

Tests: a tampered snapshot, a stale checkpoint and a transport round-trip after restore are the missing cases.

… checkpoints

Address Hov's two merge blockers on restart recovery:

- A restored ChannelSession could not resume receiving through a new
  L2PSChannelTransport: the transport started its contiguous-apply
  counter at 0 and an inbound seq N waited forever for the already
  applied seq 1. ChannelSession now exposes highestSequence and the
  transport seeds appliedSeq from it (or an explicit resumeFrom).

- A checkpoint taken while a send was in flight was non-final, so a
  restore from it could re-drive the session and reuse a sequence.
  ChannelSession.sendOutgoing and every RfqSession send now mark the
  call in flight, and checkpoint() refuses until it settles.
Re-validate the whole persisted transcript on ChannelSession.restore
(channelId, membership, monotonic sequence, signature, and highestSeen
floor), so a tampered store cannot inject messages a restored session
would co-sign on. Carry the closed flag in both ChannelSession and
RfqSession snapshots so a session closed before a crash restores closed
instead of re-opening a finished negotiation.

Thanks for the round. The transport seeding and the per-entry verification in ChannelSession.restore are right. Three of the four points from the first pass are still open, and the Greptile finding is real, so this is not restart recovery yet.

  1. session.ts:152, negotiate.ts:174 — no write-ahead persistence. pendingSends only makes checkpoint() throw during a send; the crash window is after delivery (transport.ts:177) and before the caller's checkpoint, and it still restores an older floor: the session reuses a sequence and a rolled-back RFQ snapshot re-opens an accepted deal. Add a persist hook awaited before the signed message leaves the process, carrying the message and the new floor.
  2. session.ts:44-70, transport.ts:139-177 — the pending signed-but-undelivered envelope (#164) is not in the snapshot, and appliedSeq is seeded from highestSeen, which includes it. After restore the peer's reply is awaited past a message it never saw. Persist the pending envelope, resend it idempotently, and seed from delivered sequences.
  3. session.ts:234 — the monotonic check rejects checkpoints a live session produces: sendOutgoing reserves the sequence before the signing await (:308), so a concurrent receive lands first and the transcript reads [7, 6]. Keep the transcript sorted by sequence on push, or require uniqueness plus per-entry verification instead of append order. Add a slow-signer test.
  4. session.ts:312 — if signing throws, the reserved sequence is never released; the gap is then seeded into appliedSeq. Release or burn it, and say which.
  5. negotiate.ts:211 — RfqSession.restore validates nothing: state and outcome enums, standing in proposals, sequence validity, terminal state matching the outcome. Better: bind the RFQ snapshot to the verified ChannelSession transcript.
  6. session.ts:166, channelIdRegistry.ts — mark the channelId as seen on restore (or document that the registry must be durable); today a restored session's id can be reused after restart.
  7. checkpoint() docs: snapshots must be integrity-protected by the caller and saved atomically together with the RFQ snapshot.
  8. Tests: a rolled-back snapshot after a send, a crash between send and persist, tampered RFQ state, and the out-of-order transcript case.

One nit: the commit message in d82abf4 names a reviewer; worth squashing out before merge.

Add an optional persist hook to ChannelSession and RfqSession that is
awaited before a signed message leaves the process, closing the crash
window between a send and the caller's next checkpoint: a restart can no
longer reuse a sequence or re-open an already accepted deal. Session
mutations are serialized so each write-ahead snapshot is consistent, a
failed persist releases the reserved sequence, restore accepts an
out-of-order transcript (rejecting only duplicates), and RfqSession.restore
re-validates the snapshot's state, outcome and proposal list. Document that
snapshots must be integrity-protected and saved atomically, and that CH-6
reuse-blocking across a restart needs a durable registry.

P1 Restored channels stop saving

ChannelSession.restore() accepts persist but does not pass it to the new session. Even when the caller supplies the hook, restored sends skip saving. Restore through sequence N, send N+1, then crash again before a manual checkpoint: the saved floor is still N, so the next restore can sign another message at N+1.

Forward opts.persist when rebuilding the session.

**Restored channels stop saving**

`ChannelSession.restore()` accepts `persist` but does not pass it to the new session. Even when the caller supplies the hook, restored sends skip saving. Restore through sequence N, send N+1, then crash again before a manual checkpoint: the saved floor is still N, so the next restore can sign another message at N+1.

Forward `opts.persist` when rebuilding the session.

P1 Overlapping sends erase crash protection

persistSettled() clears pending even when another send is still running. Start offer(), then abort() before the offer finishes. Both save pending snapshots. If the offer finishes while the abort is still being delivered, it saves an open snapshot without pending. A crash after the peer receives the abort but before the local abort settles restores that snapshot as open.

Serialize complete RFQ actions, or keep the pending marker until every outstanding action has settled.
