fix: isolate ADV discovery and hosted account anchors - #1880
Cold companion ADV validation can hold the offline processing permit and primary Signal lock while waiting for a network lookup. Hosted companions additionally resolve the account anchor to an invalid hosted device zero, repeating a cold lookup even when the ordinary paired anchor is present.
This change preflights cold discovery before processing admission and shares bounded account/generation flights (eight active queries maximum). Network I/O happens outside Signal locks; admitted persistence retains the primary fence and drain ticket through actual backend completion, including caller cancellation. Publication rechecks current trust.
Hosted ADV account anchors now use the ordinary PN/LID account family, while original hosted Signal device addresses and signature semantics remain intact. Multi-lock acquisition orders canonical accounts before companion devices; phash/device-list ordering is unchanged. Prekey parsing, receive, send, migration, USync recovery and the paired-self guard use that account contract consistently. No embedded certificate key replaces trusted account identity. The static Web reference, bundle hashes and complete-module offsets are recorded in agent_docs/adv_account_identity.md.
Regressions cover slow unanswered IQs, warm progress, bounded sharing, invalid signatures/prefixes/wrong account family, generation/trust changes, cancellation and owned durable publication; hosted own-account receive without an IQ; concurrent actual send/decrypt lock order; primary/prekey bootstrap and paired USync protection. Client layout assertions remain unchanged. Generated group-create assertions retain their oracle expectations; the emitter generates equivalent is_none() checks compatible with stable Clippy 1.95.
Linux stable Rust 1.95, one CPU and 5 GiB/no additional swap: formatting, scoped package Clippy (--lib --tests --no-deps -- -D warnings) and 1,120 focused tests passed, with two existing ignored cases. This combines unchanged green results with the corrected targeted participant-send fixture; ten new hosted regressions and both exact Client layout/memory assertions passed. CREATE conformance and both emitter tests passed. The complete SDK suite and consumer production rollout are separate from these focused results. No customer identifiers, transcripts, keys or raw protocol payloads are included.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Incoming companion messages with an unverifiable identity are reported as untrusted; other queued messages are marked as not attempted.
Identity checks can proceed without delaying unrelated message processing during a slow lookup.
Concurrent identity lookups share results and are limited to eight active queries.
Companion identity checks use the associated account identity across hosted and ordinary devices, including phone-number and LID accounts, preventing incorrect identity updates.
ADV identity lookup, locking, and persistence now use canonical account JIDs. A generation-scoped registry coordinates concurrent bootstrap requests. Incoming companion identity checks run before processing permit acquisition. Tests cover bootstrap, lock ordering, identity validation, and equivalent filter conditions.
adv_account_jid maps hosted and ordinary companion JIDs to the account anchor. Identity lookup, session locking, migration, sending, USync, and prekey parsing use that anchor. Tests cover PN and LID addresses and hosted identity behavior.
Registry and bootstrap lifecycle src/inbound_queue.rs, src/prekeys.rs, src/prekeys/adv_bootstrap_tests.rs, src/client/node_io.rs
A lazy registry shares generation-scoped ADV lookup results and errors, with up to eight active queries. Bootstrap checks trust and connection state before persistence. Tests cover shared requests, cancellation, query limits, persistence, retained memory, and an ignored client-future size diagnostic.
Incoming companion pre-key payloads are validated before permit acquisition when the connection generation matches. A failed recheck reports the affected payload as untrusted, marks other queued payloads not attempted, and requests an ADV-failure retry. Tests cover trust recovery, address-family isolation, identity rotation, and account locking.

Summary
Moves cold ADV discovery ahead of message-processing admission and shares account lookups with at most eight active queries.
Cold companion lookups no longer hold message admission open.
Hosted companions use their PN or LID account for ADV trust.
Conformance and test checks keep the same results in Clippy-friendly form.
No new actionable issues found. This review inspected code and tests; it did not run the test suite.

Minor · Retry the claim when the flight leader is cancelled. Do not fail the joiner. · prekeys.rs:486-497
src/prekeys.rs:486-497 Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win
Retry the claim when the flight leader is cancelled. Do not fail the joiner.
One caller's cancellation should not break everyone else's message. When the leader's future is dropped, its AdvBootstrapLease drops without setting result. Every joiner then gets "ADV bootstrap cancelled", even if its own generation and shutdown scope are still valid.
Here is a realistic trigger. A send creates the cold flight and is then cancelled by its timeout or its caller. At the same time, a receive preflight joined that flight. The receive marks the payload untrusted and sends an ADV-failure retry receipt. The account is fine, and the client caused a delivery round trip for no reason.
The joiner already re-checks its scope after released.recv(). If the scope is still valid, the joiner should claim again and become the new leader. The test that asserts the joiner fails on leader cancel must change to match.

Follow-up on exact head 28122a4. The two open inline findings are still valid; replies explain the unpublished local corrections. The earlier CodeRabbit leader-cancellation finding is also still present: a valid joiner receives ADV bootstrap cancelled instead of reclaiming a result-less flight. The local candidate retries claim only after the existing generation/shutdown check, preserving shared completed results.
Current blockers remain:
Conflicts with main. The local reconciliation used main 4ad6d76 and retained its epoch-aware PN/LID identity transaction. It has not been pushed. The GitHub integration reports push=false for the fork despite maintainer_can_modify=true; local gh has no authentication.
Connected retention failed all eight scenarios with +1,936 requested heap bytes per sample. This regression is not fixed or waived. In that same run, the client benchmark build received runner shutdown/exit 143; its benchmarks did not execute.
Cargo Deny failed RUSTSEC-2026-0459. Current main also locks libsqlite3-sys 0.38.2, and Diesel 2.3.14 declares >=0.17.2,<0.39.0. The advisory requires >=0.39.0. No advisory exception was added.
The binary-size job reports a 12,255,472-byte stripped head binary and 9,927,715-byte .text. Its green result and the size-increase-ok label do not establish absence of regression.
I independently verified the pinned whatspec ae388092 snapshot: schema 4.5.0, WA 2.3000.1052559453, all 676 bundle hashes/sizes and set hash d6ab7ae601eda281cfac570a68de1d787adde8f4d778f0bb994416f661a21abf; archive SHA256 2958d99a3d84141fa8479f1f991e06246e68c063ca8f618a8d5d361287387f62. Complete AST-extracted WAWebAdvSignatureApi, WAWebWidFactory, WAWebWid and WAWebSignalAddress confirm ordinary account anchors for hosted devices while retaining hosted Signal addressing/signature semantics. This is static Web evidence, not authenticated server testing.

- Around line 483-506: Update both the leader and joiner error paths that return
`result` so `DeviceListIdentityConflict` variants remain downcastable instead of
being hidden by `SharedAdvBootstrapError`; retain the shared wrapper for other
errors. Add a group-refresh test where the alias changes during bootstrap and
verify that other members are still published.
- Around line 574-578: Update the refusal path in
persist_adv_bootstrap_identity_inner so a false persistence result returns
DeviceListIdentityConflict::Bootstrap instead of an untyped anyhow error.
Preserve that conflict type through the shared flight so GroupRefresh can handle
