rust-nostr 0.45 added a connection-wide 300-frame-per-minute bucket and closes a WebSocket when it is exhausted. Production recorded 5,020 such disconnects before this change; Caddy correlation showed both a rapid source sending more than 300 frames in roughly 1.5 seconds and legitimate gitworkshop.dev, gittr.space, armada.buzz, and localhost browser sessions crossing the same ceiling. This predates and is independent of the subscription-budget ledger. Select a fixed 6,000-message-per-minute allowance for ngit-grasp. An initial 1,200/minute production candidate reduced closures to one in 29 minutes, but that remaining localhost development client legitimately sustained about 44-45 frames/second. A 100-frame-per-second token rate gives that observed traffic useful headroom while retaining a finite catch-all for malformed and non-operation traffic. The tighter independent limits for EVENT writes, queries, and authentication events remain unchanged, so this does not expand those operation budgets. No new configuration option is added because clients cannot discover or adapt to a non-standard frame quota. Add scenario coverage proving a 1,201-frame burst remains connected and completes a subsequent REQ/EOSE exchange, while a rapid 6,001-frame burst is still closed. Update the changelog and relay hardening/scaling references in the same commit. Per-IP admission fairness and upstream rust-nostr policy remain deliberately out of scope. Validation: - nix develop -c cargo test --test relay_message_rate (46 passed) - nix develop -c cargo test --lib (643 passed on the initial candidate) - nix build .#ngit-grasp (initial candidate; final package rebuilt by deploy)
ngit-grasp Documentation
Welcome to the ngit-grasp documentation! We use the Diátaxis framework to organize our documentation into four types, each serving a different purpose.
