Vitor PamplonaandClaude Opus 5 bb95cad98b Audit fixes: one clock per record, no shared mutable list, pin the file format
Deep-audit pass over the branch. Nothing here changes what a band claims;
these are the defects that pass tests and bite later.

- record() read the clock twice PER KIND. A 40-kind map took 80 readings,
  and worse, a span's floor and ceiling were judged against two different
  instants — so a span could be accepted at one end and rejected at the
  other on a clock tick. One read, one instant, for the whole call. The
  aggregate path had the same double read and now shares it.

- legs() handed the SAME MutableList instance to every Filter in a group,
  publishing its accumulator through a public return value. Filters are
  treated as immutable everywhere else; this keeps that true by
  construction rather than by nobody having tried yet.

- The state file's round trip was asserted only for the fields, never for
  the behaviour. Three tests now pin it: per-kind spans survive a restart
  AND still narrow per kind afterwards; the ALL_KINDS sentinel survives
  its negative key through toString/toInt; and a pre-split file (min/max,
  no spans) loads as the claim it always was. Plus the rollback contract
  — `min`/`max` must remain the OUTER edges, since a binary from before
  per-kind spans reads those and would otherwise skip ground it has not
  covered.

Checked and found sound, recorded so the next reader need not re-derive
it: ConcurrentMap.snapshot() copies, so export() cannot be mutated under
a writer; Band is immutable (widen() copies its map), so a shared Band
across threads is safe; merge() keeps old.fullAt, preserving the
re-walk clock across widening; and coveringWindow does NOT regress —
a paged band gave >1 leg before this change too, and a reconciled band
still collapses to one leg and narrows the shared snapshot.

geode

A standalone Nostr relay for the JVM, built on Quartz's relay-server code (Ktor CIO). It speaks the core relay protocol plus NIP-11 (info doc), NIP-42 (AUTH), NIP-45 (COUNT), NIP-50 (full-text search), NIP-77 (Negentropy sync), and NIP-86 (relay management), stores events in SQLite (or a filesystem backend), and can mirror upstream relays strfry-router style.

geode depends only on :quartz — no Android, no Compose. amy serve (the Amethyst CLI) embeds the same engine in-process.

Install

Pick the channel that matches how you deploy. For a real relay, the Docker image or the .deb/.rpm + systemd are the two production paths; Homebrew and the portable tarball are handy for local testing.

Images are published to GHCR on every release:

# Ephemeral — in-memory store, events vanish on restart:
docker run --rm -p 7447:7447 ghcr.io/vitorpamplona/geode:latest

# Persistent + configured:
docker run -d --name geode -p 7447:7447 \
  -v $PWD/geode.toml:/etc/geode/geode.toml:ro \
  -v geode-data:/var/lib/geode \
  ghcr.io/vitorpamplona/geode:latest --config /etc/geode/geode.toml

with in_memory = false and file = "/var/lib/geode/events.db" in your geode.toml. Pin a version (:1.13.1) instead of :latest for reproducible deploys. To build the image yourself, from the repo root:

docker build -f geode/Dockerfile -t geode:local .

Debian/Ubuntu (.deb) and Fedora/RHEL (.rpm)

Download geode-<version>-linux-x64.deb (or .rpm) from the release page and install it — a minimal JRE is bundled, so no system Java is required. It installs to /opt/geode/ with the launcher at /opt/geode/bin/geode.

sudo dpkg -i geode-1.13.1-linux-x64.deb    # or: sudo rpm -i geode-1.13.1-linux-x64.rpm

To run it as a managed service, wire up the shipped systemd unit (/opt/geode/share/geode/geode.service) — the unit file's header comment has the copy-paste steps (create the geode user, drop your config in /etc/geode/geode.toml, systemctl enable --now geode).

Homebrew

brew install vitorpamplona/tap/geode    # from the tap, once published

The formula depends on openjdk and installs the no-JRE jar bundle. Reference formula: packaging/homebrew/geode.rb.

Portable tarball (any Linux/macOS, no system Java)

Download geode-<version>-<os>-<arch>.tar.gz, unpack, and run:

tar xzf geode-1.13.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
./geode/bin/geode --config geode/share/geode/config.example.toml

The tarball bundles a jlink'd JRE plus share/geode/config.example.toml and share/geode/geode.service.

From source

./gradlew :geode:run --args="--config /etc/geode.toml"

Configure

geode runs with zero config (binds 0.0.0.0:7447, in-memory SQLite). For anything real, copy config.example.toml and edit it — the sections mirror nostr-rs-relay's config.toml so existing configs port almost verbatim. Precedence is CLI flags > TOML > built-in defaults.

geode --config /etc/geode/geode.toml
geode --help          # full flag list
geode --version

Key sections: [info] (NIP-11 doc), [network] (bind + thread pools), [database] (SQLite path/tuning), [options] (AUTH / verify / search), [authorization] (allow/deny lists), [[mirror]] (upstream mirroring), and [admin] (NIP-86 management). See the example file for every knob.

Verbs

geode [relay] [flags]        serve the relay (default)
geode import [flags] [FILE…] bulk-load NDJSON events into the store
geode export [flags]         dump the store as NDJSON to stdout

import/export are geode's strfry import / strfry export — one JSON event per line, for seeding, migrating, or backing up a relay. Both stream, so a multi-million-event corpus round-trips in roughly constant memory.

Release process

geode ships on the same tag-driven pipeline as the rest of Amethyst: pushing a v* tag runs .github/workflows/create-release.yml, whose build-geode job produces the tarball + .deb/.rpm + Homebrew jvm bundle, docker-geode builds and pushes the GHCR image, and bump-homebrew-geode-formula.yml syncs the reference formula.
