# Repository card "Updated" timestamps are stale until first open
|
||||
|
||||
Feedback under investigation:
|
||||
|
||||
> My repositories that I updated yesterday show up as being updated like 6 months ago,
|
||||
> but then when I open them and they get cloned that timestamp is fixed, which means
|
||||
> you're not reading the repository state event, only the date of the repository
|
||||
> announcement event and the git history?
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
The reviewer is essentially right. The backend *has* logic to include kind `30618`
|
||||
repository state events in the "last activity" timestamp, but that logic only reads
|
||||
events that are **already present in the local nostr database**. The app never
|
||||
globally fetches state events for repositories the user has not opened, so for those
|
||||
the timestamp falls back to the announcement's `created_at` — the repository's
|
||||
creation date. Opening (and cloning) the repository fetches the state event, which is
|
||||
why the timestamp corrects itself afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
The "git history" part of the hypothesis is not accurate for this label: no
|
||||
git-derived timestamp feeds the repository card. The only git-derived times in the UI
|
||||
are commit timestamps in commit lists and diffs, which are unrelated.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a data-coverage bug, not a missing computation. The code that aggregates state
|
||||
events is correct; it is simply starved of input on the explore list.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where the timestamp comes from
|
||||
|
||||
The label is rendered in `crates/workspace/src/views/repo_list.rs` (L209-212):
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let activity = last_activity
|
||||
.map(relative_time)
|
||||
.map(|label| SharedString::from(format!("Updated {label}")))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`last_activity` is computed in `crates/signed_state/src/repos.rs`,
|
||||
`RepoListStore::run_refresh` (L192-235), as a max over three sources:
|
||||
|
||||
| Source | Code | Availability |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `announcement.created_at` (kind 30617) | L195-198 | always; seeded for every listed repo |
|
||||
| kind 30618 repository state events | L200-213 | only events already in the local database |
|
||||
| NIP-34 activity (issues, PRs, patches, statuses, comments) | L215-235 | only local database, windowed to 90 days (`ACTIVITY_WINDOW`, L13-14) |
|
||||
|
||||
The critical gap is the global sync scope. `RepoListStore::subscribe_remote`
|
||||
(`crates/signed_state/src/repos.rs` L131-139) only syncs:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
backend.sync_bootstrap(filters::all_announcements(), cx); // kind 30617 only
|
||||
backend.sync_bootstrap(filters::deletions(), cx);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
State events are fetched **per repository, on open**, via `RepoStore`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `repo_filters` (`crates/signed_state/src/repo.rs` L254-270) queries
|
||||
`[GitRepoAnnouncement, RepoState]` plus activity and deletions.
|
||||
- `subscribe_remote` (L296-306) runs those filters against the bootstrap relays.
|
||||
- `connect_announced_relays` (L272-294) runs a negentropy sync of the same filters
|
||||
against the relays in the announcement's NIP-34 `relays` tag.
|
||||
- Both fire from `RepoStore::new`'s deferred initialization (L93-112).
|
||||
|
||||
Publishes only ever create a state event, never re-publish the announcement:
|
||||
`sign_state_event` in `crates/signed_state/src/backend.rs` (L1655-1682) and the
|
||||
fan-out at L907-918. A repository created 6 months ago and pushed yesterday therefore
|
||||
has an announcement dated 6 months ago and a state event dated yesterday.

||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Why the report reproduces exactly
|
||||
|
||||
1. The announcement (kind 30617) is addressable and effectively static; pushes replace
|
||||
only the state event (kind 30618).
|
||||
2. On a database that has never fetched that repository (fresh install, another device,
|
||||
or wasm where the database is in-memory per session), only the announcement is
|
||||
known, so the card shows the creation date.
|
||||
3. Opening the repository triggers the per-repo fetch; the state event lands in the
|
||||
database, and `RepoListStore` does react to `RepoState` updates
|
||||
(`crates/signed_state/src/repos.rs` L69-82), so the card corrects itself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Secondary issues found in the same area
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`RepoStore` ignores live state events.**
|
||||
`subscribe_backend` (`crates/signed_state/src/repo.rs` L195-239) matches relay
|
||||
updates via `Update.coordinate`, which is built from `a` tags only
|
||||
(`crates/signed_nostr/src/update.rs` L13-21). A kind `30618` event carries `d`, not
|
||||
`a`, and the kind check only accepts `GitRepoAnnouncement`. A state update arriving
|
||||
from a relay therefore does not refresh an open repository panel's `head`.
|
||||
`RepoListStore` is unaffected because its check is kind-based.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Locally published state events refresh nothing.**
|
||||
`BackendEvent::Published` is ignored for `RepoState` by both stores
|
||||
(`crates/signed_state/src/repos.rs` L83-92 and `crates/signed_state/src/repo.rs`
|
||||
L221-231). The comment in `crates/signed_state/src/backend.rs` L907-909
|
||||
("publishing notifies the repository views") is inaccurate: after an in-app push,
|
||||
the explore card stays stale until the next unrelated refresh, sync or restart,
|
||||
even though the event is in the local database.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Usage counts are similarly under-scoped.**
|
||||
The Popular ranking (`crates/signed_state/src/repos.rs` L239-261) counts only
|
||||
issues, PRs and patches present locally, i.e. mostly repositories the user has
|
||||
opened.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **The Recent tab is not "recently updated".**
|
||||
`RepoFilter::Recent` (`crates/workspace/src/views/repo_list.rs` L73-84) truncates the
|
||||
announcement-sorted list (`crates/signed_state/src/repos.rs` L189-190), so it orders
|
||||
by creation, not by `last_activity`.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **The 90-day activity window is deliberate.**
|
||||
Activity-driven bumps decay after `ACTIVITY_WINDOW`; only state events would bump
|
||||
indefinitely once fetched (L13-14).
|
||||
|
||||
## Remediation options
|
||||
|
||||
- **A. Global state sync (smallest change). — implemented.**
|
||||
`RepoListStore::subscribe_remote` now also syncs `filters::all_states()`
|
||||
(`Filter::new().kind(Kind::RepoState)`) alongside the announcement sync. Kind `30618`
|
||||
is addressable, so relays keep one event per repository — volume comparable to
|
||||
announcements. Caveat: coverage depends on whether state events reach the bootstrap
|
||||
relays; if a grasp server is the only holder, those repositories remain unseen.
|
||||
|
||||
- **B. Targeted fetch for the user's own repositories. — implemented.**
|
||||
`RepoListStore` fetches each own repository's state event from the relays that
|
||||
repository announces, once the list discovers it. Driving this from the list rather
|
||||
than `sync_inbox` sidesteps the login race described above: whenever the announcement
|
||||
list is (re)loaded, any own repository not yet fetched is covered. The fetched-set is
|
||||
cleared on `SignerChanged`, so a login or account switch re-fetches.
|
||||
|
||||
- **C. Reactivity fixes. — implemented.**
|
||||
`Kind::RepoState` is now included in the `BackendEvent::Published` refresh condition of
|
||||
both `RepoListStore` and `RepoStore`. `RepoStore::subscribe_backend` also matches relay
|
||||
state updates by owner plus kind — state events carry `d`, not `a`, so coordinate
|
||||
matching misses them — and locally published state updates by owner plus the `d`
|
||||
identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
A + B + C are implemented.
