Addressed Issues:

Part of #139 (5 of 5). UX follow-up — the migration works without this, but the flow is rough.

Screenshots/Recordings:

Before: you created an invoice, then learned from a toast that the client could not read it.
After: registration is a step before the form, and the client's registry status is shown as soon as their address is entered — before any gas is spent.

Additional Notes:

Sender

Registration comes before the form rather than after the transaction. The key lives in the on-chain registry, so a returning user is recognised from the chain and never sees the step; only a genuinely new address is asked to register.

checkRegistration now reports whether it is still checking. Without that, isRegistered is false during the initial read and the setup step flashes on every page load. A failed read still counts as unregistered — registering again is a no-op when the same key is already on-chain, so the cost of being wrong is one extra signature rather than a blocked or wrongly unlocked flow.

Open question for reviewers: registering is not cryptographically required to send — ECIES only needs the recipient's key. It is required to receive, and an invoicing tool has no one-way users, so gating creation keeps the model coherent. But it does cost the sender one transaction before their first invoice. Happy to soften this to a dismissible banner if you would rather not spend that gas up front.

Recipient

The registry is queried as soon as a valid client address is entered, so the sender is told whether details will actually reach them before paying gas, instead of after. An unregistered client does not block anything: the invoice is still valid on-chain and still payable.

SentInvoice also sweeps for undelivered invoices on load and delivers any whose recipient has since registered. That is the case the manual resend button existed for, and it is entirely mechanical — the sender should not have to notice and click. The button stays for what a sweep cannot fix, such as a client who cleared their local storage.

Also fixes a bug from #195

Keys were memory-only by default, so a page reload lost the private key and relay polling never restarted — the inbox silently stopped working. Keys now persist to sessionStorage (still dying with the tab), the hook rehydrates them from cache without an extra signature, and polling keys off reactive state so registering or unlocking starts it immediately. 14 regression tests in tests/services/relayKeyManager.test.js pin this.

Review order: requires #193, #194, #195, #196.

Walkthrough

The contract registry now uses generic public-key names. The frontend ABI and relay services use the renamed methods. Invoice creation registers missing sender keys, and sent invoices retry pending relay delivery. Deployment documentation marks existing deployments as incompatible.

Changes

Public key registry migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registry contract interface
contracts/src/Chainvoice.sol, contracts/test/Chainvoice.t.sol
The contract and tests rename Waku-specific errors, events, storage, functions, and test cases to public-key terminology. Key validation and storage behavior remain unchanged.
Frontend contract compatibility
frontend/src/contractsABI/ChainvoiceABI.js, frontend/src/services/relay/relayKeyManager.js, frontend/tests/services/relayKeyManager.test.js
The ABI, relay key manager, and tests use getPublicKey, registerPublicKey, PublicKeyRegistered, and InvalidPublicKey. The derivation message changes to the Messaging v2 value.
Registration state handling
frontend/src/hooks/useRelayKeys.js
The hook exposes isCheckingRegistration and handles unavailable contracts and stale registration requests.
Invoice creation registration flow
frontend/src/page/CreateInvoice.jsx
Invoice creation checks client key status, registers the sender key when required, blocks unsupported networks, and displays registration or invoice creation progress.
Pending invoice redelivery
frontend/src/page/SentInvoice.jsx
Sent invoices that lack relay delivery are reloaded, encrypted payloads are sent after recipient key lookup, and successful deliveries are recorded.
Deployment compatibility documentation
Deployments.md, README.md, frontend/.env.example, frontend/README.md
Deployment addresses and descriptions now indicate that redeployment is required. The documentation states that existing public keys must be registered again.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 43522

The PR adds pre-registration gating, automatic relay delivery, and session-persisted keys. At the current head, stale cached keys or cross-chain reads can select incorrect registration state, while delivery retries can duplicate messages; these concrete correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

The registry stores a plain secp256k1 public key and says nothing about
how the encrypted payload reaches the recipient. Naming it after Waku was
accurate only while Waku was the transport; now it just misleads.

  registerWakuPublicKey -> registerPublicKey
  getWakuPublicKey      -> getPublicKey
  wakuPublicKeys        -> messagingPublicKeys
  WakuKeyRegistered     -> PublicKeyRegistered
  InvalidWakuKey        -> InvalidPublicKey

BREAKING — requires redeployment. Renaming external functions changes
their selectors, so no already-deployed Chainvoice answers to this ABI.
The registry is contract storage, so a redeploy also starts it empty:
every user has to sign and register again regardless of what this commit
does.

That re-registration is what makes it safe to also fix the derivation
message, which still read "ChainVoice Waku Key Derivation v1". Since
everyone must re-register anyway, changing it costs nothing extra, and
leaving it would have kept a Waku reference in the one constant that can
never be changed casually. Bumped to v2 to make the break explicit.

.env.example is blanked rather than left pointing at 0x7bC4…, which no
longer matches this ABI and would fail confusingly at the first call.

Contract suite: 28 passed.
Registration was previously something you discovered by failing: create an
invoice, then find out from a toast that nobody could read it. Both sides
of that are now handled up front.

Sender — registration comes before the form rather than after the
transaction. The key lives in the on-chain registry, so a returning user
is recognised from the chain and never sees the step; only a genuinely
new address is asked to register. Registering is not cryptographically
required to *send* — ECIES only needs the recipient's key — but it is
required to receive, and an invoicing tool has no one-way users.

`checkRegistration` now reports whether it is still checking. Without
that, `isRegistered` is false during the initial read and the setup step
flashes on every page load. A failed read still counts as unregistered:
registering again is a no-op when the same key is already on-chain, so
the cost of being wrong is one extra signature rather than a blocked or
wrongly unlocked flow.

Recipient — the registry is queried as soon as a valid client address is
entered, so the sender is told whether details will actually reach them
*before* paying gas, instead of after. An unregistered client no longer
blocks anything: the invoice is still valid on-chain and still payable.

Sent Invoices also sweeps for undelivered invoices on load and delivers
any whose recipient has since registered. That is the case the manual
resend button existed for, and it is entirely mechanical — the sender
should not have to notice and click. The button stays for what a sweep
cannot fix, such as a client who cleared their local storage.
Registration was gating the whole Create Invoice page behind a separate
setup step before a new sender could even see the form. Move it inline
instead: createInvoiceRequest now checks registration status right before
building the transaction, registers only if actually missing (a returning
user is a no-op), and proceeds straight into invoice creation. The Create
button reflects both phases ("Setting up encryption key..." vs
"Creating Invoice...") so a first-time sender isn't confused by two
wallet prompts in a row.
VITE_RELAY_URL=/relay only avoids the cross-origin CORS failure if
something actually proxies that path same-origin. The Vite dev server
does this via vite.config.js, but that's dev-only — Vercel needs its own
rewrite, which only takes effect through a committed vercel.json (there's
no dashboard equivalent for a Vite/static project). Also adds the SPA
fallback rewrite react-router needs for direct/refreshed client-side
routes, since defining any custom rewrites array replaces Vercel's
zero-config default for this.

Flow logic is solid.

On your open question, gating creation is defensible, but the dismissible banner is the more forgiving default.

@Atharva0506
Atharva0506 marked this pull request as ready for review August 20, 2026 06:38
The rewrite hardcoded a specific relay deployment
(thrubox-server.onrender.com) into the repository. That is one person's test
instance, so committing it upstream makes every fork and every deployment
point at it, and moving the relay means a code change rather than a config
change.

The relay is already env-configurable: VITE_RELAY_URL takes either an
absolute URL, which the relay now supports via its CORS allowlist, or a
same-origin path for hosts that would rather proxy. Removing this file keeps
that choice with whoever deploys instead of fixing it in git.

Nothing else depended on the file. The other rewrite was an SPA fallback,
which this app does not need — it uses HashRouter, so every route lives after
the '#' and the server is only ever asked for '/'. Local development is
unaffected: the Vite dev server proxies /relay from vite.config.js.

Deploying against an absolute VITE_RELAY_URL requires the relay to allow the
site's origin, via RELAY_SECURITY_ALLOWED_ORIGINS.

107-150: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject registration results from a previous chain.

isStale only compares address. If the wallet changes chains for the same address, an old registry read can finish after the new read and set isRegistered for the wrong chain.

Track a request identity that includes both address and chainId, or use a monotonic request generation. Otherwise, CreateInvoice.jsx can see isRegistered === true and skip registration on a chain where the sender has no public key.

Deployments.md now lists the Sepolia deployment the frontend actually
targets, alongside the v1 rows. Recording it made the surrounding docs
wrong: .env.example and both READMEs still said a redeployment was
required and left every address blank, which was true only until that
deployment existed. All four now agree — Sepolia is populated, and the
warning is narrowed to Ethereum Classic and Polygon, which really do
still run v1.

Session keys are now stored under a version-tagged prefix. The cache is
consulted before the derivation message is signed, so a tab still holding
a v1 key was handed it straight back — and could register that stale key
on the redeployed registry, where it would never match the v2 key the
same wallet derives after a reload. Bumping the prefix alongside the
message makes old records unreadable rather than silently wrong.

Automatic relay delivery no longer counts an invoice as delivered when
the local flag fails to persist. updateInvoiceStatus returns null on a
failed IndexedDB write, and the delivered counter ignored that, so a
storage failure produced a success toast and then re-sent the same
invoice on every subsequent refresh. It also re-checks the cancellation
flag after each awaited call, so teardown mid-read cannot still send.

The Ethereum Classic deployment steps told the reader to set
VITE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS, which the frontend never reads — it looks up
VITE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS_<chainId>. Following those steps produced an app
with no contract address at all.

Also fixes MD028: blank lines separating adjacent blockquotes now carry
their own marker.

@rohans02 thanks and agreed, the banner is the better default. That is already in as of 7d1df44: the up-front gate is gone, and key registration now happens inline during submission the first time it is actually needed, so a first-time sender goes signature → registration tx → invoice tx without being stopped at the door. The button text tracks which stage is in flight so the wallet prompt is never mislabelled.

The one case still handled separately is an unsupported network, which gets its own panel rather than a registration prompt registering cannot help when there is no deployment on that chain.
