What changes and why

This is phase 6, PR 6.2 of the Mostro reputation portability plan. It is stacked on #932 (6.1). The protocol side is MostroP2P/protocol#74, "Issuance" and "Telegram hand-off".

The flow.

1. A Mostro client opens https://t.me/<bot>?start=rep_<identity>. The identity is the user's Mostro key, written as 43 characters of unpadded base64url, so the start parameter stays within Telegram's 64-character cap.

2. The bot reads the account from the Telegram user who sent the command, never from the link. It checks eligibility (6.1) and refuses with a message if the account does not qualify.

3. First binding. The bot shows the identity as an npub with a confirm button, and nothing is recorded until the user presses it. On confirm, a conditional findOneAndUpdate binds the account: it matches only if reputation_exported_to is empty or already equal to that identity. Of two concurrent confirmations, exactly one wins.

4. Issue. The bot signs an attestation with REPUTATION_ISSUER_SK:

   • subject is the user's internal id, never the Telegram id;
   • the figures are total_reviews, total_rating and the first trade day;
   • it is valid for 7 days.

   The bot replies with the figures, then with the attestation JSON as a message of its own, with no formatting, so it can be copied whole into the app.

5. Later requests.

   • Same identity: an account already bound to it gets a fresh attestation without asking again. This is how a lost or expired one is replaced.
   • Another identity: refused, naming the bound npub. Moving the binding is 6.3.

Sunset mode. This is the one feature a retiring bot keeps, and its main real-world case.

• The handlers are registered right after i18n, ahead of the sunset catch-all. Every other update still gets the sunset notice.
• The sunset startup connects to MongoDB when the issuer key is set (feat(reputation): issuer key, eligibility and first trade date #932). Without a database connection, the export answers that it is unavailable instead of throwing.
• Without REPUTATION_ISSUER_SK, /start rep_… gets the sunset notice like any other update.
• A malformed REPUTATION_ISSUER_SK stops the bot at startup.

Private chats only. The binding is accepted only in the user's private chat with the bot. A /start rep_… sent in a group is left to the rest of the bot (the sunset notice, in sunset mode), and a confirm button pressed in a group is acknowledged and ignored. Otherwise any group member could press the button and bind their own account to an identity someone else chose.

Rate limiter. The confirm button gets its own @grammyjs/ratelimiter bucket (limiterKey). Without it, a press within a second of the /start that showed it was silently dropped.

Texts. Seven new keys, translated in all ten locales.

Deviation. The plan says the bot replies with "a button that opens the client's deep link". Telegram URL buttons only accept http(s) and tg:// links, not an app scheme. So the attestation travels as a copyable message instead, which the plan already describes for desktop and web.

Tests

tests/bot/modules/reputation.spec.ts, 13 cases. The protocol vectors are copied to tests/fixtures/reputation_v1.json.

• Vectors:
  • Every rounding case.
  • The attestation built from the vector's inputs has the vector's exact id and tags, and verifies.
• Builder: it refuses every argument a Mostro instance would refuse.
• Identity encoding: 43 characters, a round trip, and malformed and non-canonical spellings.
• Flow:
  • confirm before a first binding;
  • bind and issue on confirmation;
  • direct re-issue to the bound identity;
  • refusal of another identity;
  • two concurrent confirmations, of which exactly one binds;
  • ineligible accounts, including one with no first trade;
  • no database;
  • a bad link;
  • the user's stored language.
• Routing:
  • /start rep_… and the confirm button are taken, and anything else is passed on;
  • both are ignored outside a private chat.
• Rate limiter: the real limiter middleware lets the confirm button through right after /start.

tests/bot/sunset.spec.ts drives updates through initialize():

• with SUNSET_MODE on and the issuer key set, /start rep_… and the confirm button, pressed back to back, reach the export and issue an attestation;
• any other update, and a link sent in a group, get the sunset notice;
• with no database connection, the link answers that export is unavailable;
• with no issuer key, the link gets the sunset notice;
• outside sunset mode, the link behaves the same.

npx tsc && npm test         278 passing
npm run lint                clean

Manual testing

Not run yet against Telegram. The round trip with a Mostro client comes with the client PRs (mobile 5.3, app 5b.2).

Walkthrough

The change adds signed reputation attestations and a Telegram export flow. It adds identity and rating validation, account eligibility and binding checks, localized responses, and bot startup integration. Tests cover attestation vectors, export handling, rate limiting, and sunset-mode behavior.

Changes

Reputation export

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attestation construction and protocol vectors bot/modules/reputation/attestation.ts, tests/fixtures/reputation_v1.json, tests/bot/modules/reputation.spec.ts	Adds identity encoding and decoding, rating helpers, input validation, and signed kind-38388 event construction. Tests cover event contents, signatures, invalid inputs, and protocol vectors.
Telegram export and identity binding bot/modules/reputation/index.ts, locales/*.yaml, tests/bot/modules/reputation.spec.ts	Adds private-chat start-link and confirmation handling, eligibility checks, atomic identity binding, attestation replies, and localized messages. Tests cover export flow, routing, conflicts, and rate limiting.
Bot startup and sunset-mode integration bot/start.ts, tests/bot/sunset.spec.ts	Configures the reputation limiter and handlers during startup when an issuer key is available. Integration tests exercise reputation exports in sunset mode and related unavailable or unhandled cases.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2811f

The new Mostro reputation export works on the normal path. If an internal error occurs, the user gets no reply, and the Persian text uses a confusing word for "reputation". The change is mergeable, with small follow-ups recommended.

handleConfirm to send the user a best-effort reputation_unavailable reply after
logging the error. Swallow any failure to send that reply so it cannot cause
another error, and preserve the confirm path’s private-chat restriction.

Review comments at @locales/fa.yaml:
- Around line 878-884: Update the Persian translations in
reputation_invalid_link, reputation_unavailable, reputation_not_eligible,
reputation_confirm, reputation_confirm_button, reputation_bound_other, and
reputation_exported to use the file’s established term شهرت for “reputation”
instead of اعتبار, preserving the remaining wording and placeholders.
