Change checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my own code,
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation. All new code adheres to the team's documentation standards,
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works (if possible),
  • I have made sure the CHANGELOG is up-to-date. All user-facing changes should be reflected in this document.

Outside contributions

  • This pull request is based on an issue that a maintainer has accepted (see Before Opening a Pull Request).
  • I have read and agree to the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have read and agree to the AI Policy document. I understand that failure to comply with the guidelines will lead to rejection of the pull request.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Gossip messages are now forwarded only after validation. Valid block and signed-message payloads on their matching topics are accepted and delivered, while undecodable payloads and payloads on unknown topics are ignored.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for validation decisions and event delivery across valid, undecodable, and unknown-topic payloads.

Walkthrough

Gossipsub now requires validation before forwarding messages. The service assigns verdicts to gossip messages, emits valid block and signed-message payloads, and reports each verdict to gossipsub.

Changes

Gossip message validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Enable validation and expose verdict reporting
src/libp2p/behaviour.rs
build_gossipsub enables message validation. ForestBehaviour reports message IDs, source peers, and acceptance verdicts to gossipsub.
Create, report, and test message verdicts
src/libp2p/service.rs, src/libp2p/mod.rs, src/libp2p/tests/gossip_validation_test.rs
handle_gossip_event returns verdicts for valid, undecodable, and unknown-topic messages. The swarm handler reports each verdict. Tests cover accepted payloads, ignored payloads, and emitted events.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ea963

This change withholds gossip forwarding until a recognized payload decodes. Deeper application checks still occur downstream; no actionable merge-blocking regression is established.

73-125: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover the gossipsub reporting path.

filecoin_gossip_verdicts calls handle_gossip_event directly. It checks verdict generation and local event emission, but it does not execute handle_forest_behaviour_event, where the verdict reaches swarm.behaviour_mut().report_message_validation_result(...). A regression that removes this reporting call would still pass the current tests.

Add a focused test or fixture that exercises the service handler and observes the validation result reaching gossipsub. This is a test-coverage gap, not evidence of a current production failure.
