A brand-new install routes 100% of its relay traffic over Tor by construction,
and that is a chicken-and-egg rather than a preference: `trustedRelays` is empty,
so `TorRelayEvaluation` falls through to `newRelaysViaTor` (default true) for
every url — and the kind:10002 that would populate it can only be fetched over
Tor. Measured on a Samsung SM-T220, same account, same login timing, fresh
install each: the first relay socket opened 2.3-2.9s *after* Tor became ready,
whenever that happened to be, and Arti's directory download ran 12.6-51.7s.
While an account's own lists are unknown, the defaults the app is already
dialling are now also classified for Tor purposes — as `assumed` relays, the
last branch before `newRelaysViaTor`:
first relay socket, vs when Tor became ready (n=3 each, counterbalanced)
before: login+5.87s / +7.89s — always 2.3-2.9s AFTER Tor Active
after: login+1.21s / +1.24s / +1.29s — independent of Tor entirely
events ingested by the 20s census, non-overlapping
before: 0 / 892 / 1159 / 2590
after: 3719 / 3997 / 4081 / 5311 / 6051
It resolves to `trustedRelaysViaTor`, not to a hardcoded false: the app's
stand-in for a list gets the policy the user chose for their own list, so
anyone who set that preference keeps Tor here with nothing new to discover. And
it sits below .onion, money-operation and DM in the precedence chain, so those
keep their own policy for free — the branch can only capture urls that would
have been treated as strangers.
The guess ends by itself. `assumedDefaults` keys on the *event* being absent —
never on a list being empty, which is a choice we honor — so each list's
contribution empties the moment that event lands, with no window, timeout or
per-account bookkeeping. Device log: `Guessed relays: 15 -> 10 -> 5 -> 0 (own
lists arrived; released to their real Tor policy)`, after which 28 relays
re-dialled and their connect latency moved from a median 116ms to 503ms — the
handover onto Tor circuits, visible in the timings.
Deliberately NOT merged into `TrustedRelayListsState`. That feeds
`Account.isInMyRelayList` -> `RelayAuthPermissionLedger` -> `RelayAuthResolver`,
i.e. the NIP-42 AUTH decision. Guessed relays must never make the app sign an
AUTH challenge as though they were the user's own; that would turn a timing
signal into a signed identity assertion. Tor routing is the only consumer.
Two supporting changes, both of which pay for themselves here:
`RelayClassification` groups the four category sets into one value. The
reconnect trigger in `RelayProxyClientConnector` used to compare them field by
field, so a new category meant remembering another `||` — and I had forgotten
it, which is exactly the silent failure it invites: relays keep a socket on a
transport the policy has already moved them off. It is now one structural
comparison. That also removes a `Pair` that existed only to squeeze past
`combineTransform`'s five-source limit. Regression test covers the case that
made the omission reachable: an *empty* arriving list, where `trusted` does not
change while `assumed` empties.
`AccountsTorStateConnector.unionAcrossAccounts` replaces four ~30-line copies of
the same per-account fold. The copies had already drifted — two carried an
`if (isEmpty)` guard that could never fire, since `ifEmpty` had just guaranteed
otherwise.
Verified byte-identical to the build these numbers were measured on, and
re-measured after the refactors: first socket 1.24s median vs 1.21s before,
fully overlapping.
