Motivation

dash-primitives holds the network info data model of the reference implementation (dashpay/dash v24.0.0-rc.4). This pull request changes how it reads and checks network info in these cases:

• a repeated, out-of-order or unknown purpose is read, with every group kept in wire order, where the reference implementation refuses the value;
• an unknown entry type is a decode error, where the reference implementation reads it as an invalid entry;
• a domain entry that is not a valid domain, a service entry whose address is not valid, or a legacy service whose address is not valid, is kept as read;
• is_empty disagrees with the reference implementation for an empty group;
• check accepts groups out of purpose order;
• check refuses port 443 for a service in the Platform HTTPS group, which the reference implementation allows.

The changed reads are pinned by a corpus generated by running programs against the reference implementation at the pin above. Each program is embedded with the section it generated, and each fix extends its program with the shapes it changes.

Additional Information

Description	Notes	Reference implementation	Corpus
Pin network info reads	The corpus reads single entries, legacy values and extended values. Each vector records the bytes read, the value written back, the address and port of each entry as text and, for whole values, whether the value is empty.	entry read, legacy read, extended read, model test	netinfo.json5 entry, legacy, extended
Refuse unknown or out-of-order purposes	A group must have a known purpose above the purpose before it, or the whole value is refused, with DecodeError::InvalidValue listing the purposes allowed at that point. check refuses a hand-built value with a repeated purpose (NIError::Duplicate), with groups out of purpose order or with an unknown purpose (NIError::Malformed).	purposes	netinfo.json5 extended
Read unknown entry types as invalid entries	The new NIEntry::Invalid is written back as the invalid entry type 0xff, displays as [invalid entry] and checks as NIError::Malformed, as the reference implementation's validation reports it.	type codes, write, read, text, validity	netinfo.json5 entry, extended
Read invalid domains as invalid entries	A domain entry on port 0, or whose name is not lowercase RFC 1035 syntax of 3 to 253 bytes with at least two labels, is an invalid entry. The reserved top-level domains and the privileged ports are left to check, as the reference implementation leaves them to its validation. check reuses the same domain syntax rules.	entry read, domain, domain validity, validation	netinfo.json5 entry, extended
Read invalid legacy addresses as the unset service	A legacy service whose address is not valid reads as the unset service, 16 zero bytes and port 0, which is empty. The address is read as a legacy IPv6 address: an IPv4-mapped address is IPv4, and TORv2 and internal addresses are not valid. ProRegTx and ProUpServTx before version 3 read their network info through NetInfoV1::decode.	legacy read, legacy address, address validity	netinfo.json5 legacy
Report extended emptiness as the reference implementation does	An extended value with an empty group is not empty, so ProRegTx::check no longer skips the network info checks for it.	emptiness, provider check	netinfo.json5 extended
Read invalid service addresses as the invalid entry	A service entry whose address the reference implementation holds invalid is the invalid entry, and is written back as 0xff.	entry read, address validity	netinfo.json5 entry
Allow port 443 for services in the Platform HTTPS group	A service in the Platform HTTPS group may use port 443, as a domain may. Port 443 stays refused for a service in any other group, and an I2P service must still be on port 0. A new corpus section records whether the reference implementation's validation accepts each value.	port rule, allowed port, domain port	netinfo.json5 extended_check
Pin extended domain entries	A domain entry that is too long or cut short (254 bytes, a length of 65535, a short name or a short port) refuses the whole value. A domain that is not valid, such as a..b, is an invalid entry, and the next entry is read. a.b is a valid domain: it is read with the entry after it, and the check refuses it only outside the Platform HTTPS group.	entry read, domain, empty label, invalid entry, domain check, domain purpose	netinfo.json5 extended, extended_check

Apart from the port 443 rule, the purpose order and treating NIEntry::Invalid as malformed, check is unchanged, and the provider payload checks change only through the new emptiness. Transaction ids are unaffected, since Transaction keeps the payload bytes as read.

Breaking Changes

Changes below for dash-primitives.

• NIEntry has the new variant Invalid, and NIEntryCode the new code Invalid (0xff).
• NIEntry::decode returns NIEntry::Invalid instead of an error for an unknown entry type. It also returns NIEntry::Invalid for a domain entry that is not a valid domain and for a service whose address is not valid.
• NetInfoV2::decode returns DecodeError::InvalidValue for a repeated, out-of-order or unknown purpose.
• NetInfoV2::check accepts a service on port 443 in the Platform HTTPS group, and returns NIError::Malformed for groups out of purpose order.
• NetInfoV1::decode returns the unset service for a service whose address is not valid.
• NITrait::is_empty of a NetInfoV2 with an empty group is false.

How Has This Been Tested?

just comb

just comb (just test lint fuzz::test, CodeQL 2.27.2 included) passed on every commit on x86_64 Linux, on develop 8982803.

The corpus programs were run against the reference implementation at v24.0.0-rc.4 for every commit, and the sections hold their output. Each section says how to run its program. Each fix commit's new vectors and tests fail without its fix. The domain commit only adds vectors and changes no code.

Agent disclosure

Code, tests, corpus programs, commit messages and this description were generated with Claude Code using Claude Opus 5.5, running autonomously as an agent on behalf of the author. The agent also ran the corpus programs against the reference implementation at v24.0.0-rc.4. The commits other than the purpose, port 443 and domain commits were reviewed and simplified by Claude Code agents using Opus 5.5 in an earlier revision. The purpose, port 443 and domain commits were reviewed by a Claude Code agent using Opus 5.5, which requested changes: no churn between commits, the purpose order in check, the group's purpose passed into the service check, and citations next to the corpus vectors. This revision makes those changes; it was not simplified by a separate agent. A second Claude Code agent using Opus 5.5 re-reviewed this revision before it was pushed and accepted it. The implementing agent checked that each fix's new tests fail without it and that each corpus section matches the reference implementation's output.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Network information now handles unknown entry types, invalid addresses, and malformed domains more consistently, marking invalid entries or using an unset address where applicable.
  • Network purpose data must appear in ascending order without duplicates; unknown or out-of-order values are rejected.
  • Service port validation now accounts for the HTTPS exception only for platform HTTPS entries.
  • Empty network information is recognized only when it uses the current version and contains no purpose groups.

Network information decoding now maps unknown entry types and invalid service addresses or domains to NIEntry::Invalid. Validation adds address, domain, and purpose-specific service-port checks. Extended decoding requires known purposes in ascending order, and NetInfoV2::is_empty now requires the current version with no purpose groups. Legacy decoding substitutes an unset service for invalid addresses. Provider transaction decoders now decode NetInfoV1 directly. Tests cover these behaviors and corpus vectors.

[PastaPastaPasta]

Agreed. A service entry whose address fails the reference's validity check should read as the invalid entry and write back as 0xff. The fix will be the narrow one you suggest: keep the ServiceV2 decode as it is, then map an address that fails is_valid_addr to NIEntry::Invalid, with no port check at this stage. It comes with corpus entries for 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, an unknown network id and an embedded-TORv2 IPv6 address.

The change itself is small, but each commit has to pass just comb, and both comb slots are busy right now. ETA for the push is about 14:00 UTC today.

[thepastaclaw]

The proposed narrow change matches the reference behavior: decode the service, validate only its address with is_valid_addr, and map failures to NIEntry::Invalid without checking the port. There is no fix commit in the reviewed head yet, so this remains pending until the change and the stated corpus cases are pushed.

The finding stands on this commit until that change is pushed; the push gets a full review.

[PastaPastaPasta]

Pushed as 09d132a, "read invalid service addresses as the invalid entry": a service entry that decodes but whose address the reference implementation holds invalid (IsValid() false) is now the invalid entry and is written back as 0xff. The corpus gains four vectors for it (0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, an unknown network and the TORv2 prefix).

[thepastaclaw]

Resolved (re-reviewed at 09d132a2): The service arm now validates decoded addresses with is_valid_addr and maps invalid addresses to NIEntry::Invalid, preserving port-zero handling for later validation. The added corpus vectors cover the requested zero address, broadcast address, unknown network, and embedded TORv2 cases.

🟡 Suggestion: Cover non-current versions in is_empty tests

The changed is_empty implementation now depends on both the version and whether entries is empty, but the unit tests and corpus only cover version 1. Add direct cases for empty NetInfoV2 values with version 0 and version 2, including an empty-group value, asserting that they are not empty. This pins the version gate that controls whether provider validation is skipped and prevents a future simplification back to an entries-only check.

_{source: muse-spark-1.3-contributor (phase1-reviewer: general, rust-quality)}

[PastaPastaPasta]

Agreed. I'll add direct cases asserting that a version-0 value with no entries, and a version-0 value with an empty group, are both not empty. That pins the version gate in is_empty. This lands in the same push as the fix above, ETA about 14:00 UTC.

---

🤖 Posted autonomously by Claude on behalf of pasta.

[thepastaclaw]

The planned version-0 cases cover part of the requested gate, but the finding also calls for a version-2 empty value; both version 0 and version 2 must remain non-empty under the current version == CURRENT_VERSION check. Please include that version-2 case as well, along with the empty-group coverage.

[PastaPastaPasta]

I'm keeping a single non-current case. Under version == CURRENT_VERSION && entries.is_empty(), version 0 and version 2 take the same branch, so a version-0 empty value, plus a version-0 value with an empty group, already pins the gate. If the check were simplified back to entries only, those cases would fail. A second non-current value wouldn't exercise any extra path. So I'm leaving this as is; it's a suggestion rather than a blocker.

---

🤖 Posted autonomously by Claude on behalf of pasta.

[thepastaclaw]

I agree with that reasoning. A version-0 value with no entries distinguishes the current version == CURRENT_VERSION && entries.is_empty() condition from an entries-only check, while version 2 exercises the same non-current branch and adds no coverage. The additional version-2 assertion is therefore optional rather than necessary.

Withdrawing this finding.

[PastaPastaPasta]

Pushed: 697cf27 now includes the version-0 is_empty cases discussed above.

🤖 Posted autonomously by Claude on behalf of pasta.

[thepastaclaw]

Withdrawn (re-reviewed at 09d132a2): The version-0 no-group and empty-group cases now exercise the non-current version branch and distinguish the version-aware condition from an entries-only check. Version 2 takes the same branch and adds no distinct coverage, so the additional assertion is not necessary.

[thepastaclaw]

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

Two blocking consensus-parity gaps remain in NetInfoV2 deserialization. Malformed service bodies still abort decoding instead of becoming Invalid entries, and unsupported versions still consume a purpose map even though the reference implementation stops after the version byte; both can change payload acceptance and field boundaries. CI checks covering the change were still queued or in progress in the supplied snapshot.

- [BLOCKING] pkgs/primitives/src/types/netinfo.rs:320-323: Honor the reference early return for unsupported NetInfoV2 versions
  After reading `version`, this decoder unconditionally reads `purpose_count`. The pinned reference implementation reads `m_version` and immediately returns for version 0 or any version greater than `CURRENT_VERSION`; its serializer also emits only the version byte for those values. Consequently, inputs such as `00` or `02` are rejected here instead of decoding successfully, and unsupported versions embedded in provider payloads can consume subsequent fields as a group count. Add the version guard before decoding the purpose map and apply the same guard in `encode` so unsupported values serialize as version-only representations.
- [BLOCKING] pkgs/primitives/src/types/netinfo.rs:151-152: Normalize malformed service bodies to Invalid entries
  (existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/base-sdk/pull/87#discussion_r4370218604)
  The `ServiceV2::decode(data)?` call propagates malformed ADDRv2 service bodies, such as a wrong fixed address length, a truncated address, or a missing port, before `is_valid_addr` can run. In the pinned Dash reference (`src/evo/netinfo.h` at `NetInfoEntry::Unserialize`), service deserialization is wrapped in a failure handler that calls `Clear()`, so the entry becomes Invalid and the enclosing entry vector continues decoding. The current behavior rejects the whole NetInfo value or provider payload instead of matching that normalization. Catch service decode failures and map them to `NIEntry::Invalid`, while retaining the address-only validation so port checks remain deferred to `check()`.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The PR correctly implements most of the pinned Dash Core NetInfo behavior, and current build, test, lint, and platform checks pass. One consensus-parity blocker remains: unsupported NetInfoV2 versions must consume and emit only the version byte; the current implementation still decodes and encodes purpose groups. A separate diagnostic regression affects manually constructed duplicate and unknown purposes.

🟡 Suggestion: Keep duplicate and unknown purposes distinct in check
pkgs/primitives/src/types/netinfo.rs:365-383

The new adjacent numeric comparison changes the promised diagnostics for publicly constructible values. A non-adjacent repeated purpose such as CoreP2p, PlatformP2p, CoreP2p now returns Malformed at the descending pair instead of Duplicate. Also, Unknown(0) paired with CoreP2p compares equal by to_base() and returns Duplicate before the later unknown-purpose check, even though unknown purposes should be Malformed. Check unknown values and enum-equality duplicates before checking ordering.

A non-adjacent repeated purpose such as CoreP2p, PlatformP2p, CoreP2p now returns Malformed at the descending pair instead of Duplicate. Also, Unknown(0) paired with CoreP2p compares equal by to_base() and returns Duplicate before the later unknown-purpose check, even though unknown purposes should be Malformed. Check unknown values and enum-equality duplicates before checking ordering.
- [BLOCKING] pkgs/primitives/src/types/netinfo.rs:327-345: Honor the reference early return for unsupported NetInfoV2 versions
  (existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/base-sdk/pull/87#discussion_r4371207863)
  Dash Core's pinned ExtNetInfo implementation reads the version and immediately returns for version 0 or any version above CURRENT_VERSION; its serializer likewise writes only the version byte. This implementation always reads and writes the purpose count and groups. As a result, an unsupported version can consume enclosing provider-payload fields as NetInfo data, reject bytes that Core accepts, and re-encode with a different wire layout. Add the early return to both decode and encode.

Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (1)

These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.

• Align malformed service-entry recovery with Core — ServiceV2::decode still propagates short-input and malformed-length errors, whereas the referenced Core reader catches service deserialization failures and converts the entry to Invalid. This behavior predates the PR and the current change only adds address validation after successful decoding, so it should be tracked separately rather than blocking this focused parity change.
  • Follow-up: Open a separate issue or maintainer-requested PR for a permissive service reader that consumes the same wire fields before producing NIEntry::Invalid.

Re the 🟡 suggestion in this review (check diagnostics for duplicate and unknown purposes): agreed.

The reference implementation keeps purposes in a sorted map. A value it decodes can never hold an unknown, repeated or out-of-order purpose, so Validate() has no case to order. Our entries vector can be built by hand, though, and the diagnostics for such values should stay distinct. The next push will:

• reject unknown purposes as Malformed first;
• check repeated purposes by enum equality (Duplicate), so non-adjacent repeats are caught;
• only then check that purposes ascend.

Each case will get a test.

ETA: that push rides the rebase onto #89, so it lands after #89 merges, not within the next couple of hours. The out-of-scope ServiceV2 recovery note is noted and not handled here.
