fix: stop one chat conversation from showing as two chat rooms - #709
Conversation
KeyManager.getNextKeyIndex() read the stored trade key counter, stored currentIndex + 1 and also returned currentIndex + 1. The counter is the index deriveTradeKey() hands out next (it derives at the stored index, then increments), so the index reserved here was the very same one the next deriveTradeKey() call derived. getNextKeyIndex() is used only to reserve the trade key for a range order's child session, so after a range order release the next order the user created or took got a trade key identical to the child session's. Session.sharedKey is ECDH(tradeKey.private, peer.publicKey), so two such sessions sharing a counterparty derive the identical ChatKeys pair. Both ChatRoomNotifiers then pass the `event.pubkey == chatKeys.sign.public` ownership check for the same kind 14 envelopes, each stores them under its own orderId and each renders its own row: two chat rooms with the same peer, holding the same messages, both live, with a message typed in one appearing in the other. getNextKeyIndex() now returns currentIndex, reserving the index the counter points at and advancing past it. No collision and no gap: two consecutive calls hand out N and N+1. Sessions created before this fix are still on disk, so the chat list also collapses rows that share a conversation key, keeping the newest. An equal ECDH shared key means literally the same messages on both rows, and distinct orders always differ on at least one trade key, so this can never merge two legitimate conversations. Also hardens SessionNotifier against a related class of duplicate: Session.orderId is mutable and reachable through three maps of which only _sessions is keyed by orderId, while the promotion paths purged stale entries by identity alone. _emitState() now dedupes by orderId (the persisted _sessions entry wins) and _claimOrderId() drops other in-memory sessions carrying an orderId that has just been claimed.

For legacy colliding sessions after an app restart, the newest session can have an empty room while the older session owns the persisted history: each envelope is stored globally only once under whichever orderId first handles it (chat_room_notifier.dart:255-261). This code adds the newest session's key to seenConversations before checking whether its room has messages, so the empty room is discarded and the older room containing the history is then skipped, making the entire conversation disappear from the chat list. Read the room and confirm it is nonempty before claiming the conversation key, or select the nonempty candidate when collapsing duplicates.

Valid finding, fixed in bf1f354.
Confirmed the mechanism: envelopes are stored globally once, keyed by outer id and tagged with whichever orderId first handled them (chat_room_notifier.dart:255-261), and _loadHistoricalMessages reloads by that orderId. So after a restart only one of two colliding rooms holds the history, and it can be the older session's. Claiming the conversation key before the emptiness check meant the newest (empty) room consumed the claim, was then dropped as empty, and the room actually holding the messages was skipped as a duplicate — hiding the conversation entirely, which is worse than the duplicate the dedup was added for.
_chatsForSessions now resolves the room and requires it non-empty before claiming the conversation key, so the empty candidate is passed over and the one with the history wins.
Added test/features/chat/chat_rooms_notifier_dedup_test.dart covering exactly this case (the conversation survives when only the older room holds the history), plus collapsing when both rooms hold the conversation and keeping genuinely distinct conversations separate. Verified the new test is a real regression test by reverting the reorder — only that case goes RED (Expected: ['order-older'] Actual: []).
…ssion The conversation-key dedup claimed the key before checking that the room actually held messages. Envelopes are stored globally once, under whichever orderId first handled them, and history is reloaded by that orderId, so after a restart only one of two colliding rooms holds the conversation — and it can be the older session's. The newest session's empty room then consumed the claim, was dropped as empty, and the room holding the messages was skipped as a duplicate, hiding the chat entirely. Resolve the room and require it non-empty before claiming the conversation key, so the empty candidate is passed over and the one with the history wins.

dispute_chat_duplicate_envelope_test failed on CI (and locally) because chatUnwrap verifies and decrypts on a worker isolate whose spawn takes real wall-clock time: pumpEventQueue can return before the valid envelope has been accepted, so the assertion read an empty message list. Poll for the message to land instead. Test-only, and identical to the fix on perf/orders-since-cursor, so whichever branch lands first the other rebases cleanly.

Make the forged copy reach heavy verification.
chatUnwrap rejects forged synchronously because its tags list is empty. The p-tag check runs before Isolate.run. This test therefore does not cover the stated case where the forged copy occupies the in-flight unwrap while the valid copy arrives. Add the required conversation p tag and retain the invalid signature so the forged event reaches _chatUnwrapHeavy.

Assert removal of the stale request mapping.
These assertions only check state. _emitState also deduplicates by orderId, so all three tests pass even if the _claimOrderId calls are removed. In each test, also assert that getSessionByRequestId returns null for the stale request ID.

Problem
While selling on a range order, a peer's messages produced two chat rooms with the same counterparty, each holding the same messages. Both stayed live: a message typed in one appeared in the other after switching rooms.
Root cause
KeyManager.getNextKeyIndex()handed out an index it had just stored as the counter:The stored counter is the index
deriveTradeKey()hands out next — it derives at the stored index, then increments (key_manager.dart:85-98). So the index reserved bygetNextKeyIndex()was the exact one the nextderiveTradeKey()derived.getNextKeyIndex()has a single caller (mostro_service.dart:355), reserving the trade key for a range order's child session. So after a range order release, the next order the user created or took received a trade key identical to the child session's.Session.sharedKeyisECDH(tradeKey.private, peer.publicKey)(session.dart:203), so two such sessions sharing a counterparty derive the identicalChatKeyspair. BothChatRoomNotifiers then pass the ownership checkevent.pubkey == chatKeys.sign.public(chat_room_notifier.dart:212) for the same kind-14 envelopes, each persists them under its ownorderId, and each renders its own row — reproducing every detail of the report.Fix
getNextKeyIndex()returnscurrentIndex— reserves the index the counter points at and advances past it. No collision, no gap: two consecutive calls hand outNandN+1.SessionNotifierhardening (defense-in-depth, not the trigger):Session.orderIdis mutable and reachable through three maps of which only_sessionsis keyed byorderId, while promotion paths purged stale entries by identity alone._emitState()now dedupes byorderId(the persisted_sessionsentry wins) and_claimOrderId()drops other in-memory sessions carrying a just-claimedorderId.Test plan

Trade-index monotonicity is preserved —
getNextKeyIndexstill consumes exactly one index. The restore flow'ssetCurrentKeyIndex(lastTradeIndex + 1)(restore_manager.dart:625,985,1120) already assumes "counter = next index to hand out", which bothderiveTradeKeyand the fixedgetNextKeyIndexnow agree on.This PR does not address the missed push notifications mentioned alongside the report; that is a separate issue.
