Direct messages between peers are now end-to-end encrypted. The
broker only ever sees {nonce, ciphertext} — plaintext lives on the
two endpoints.
apps/cli/src/crypto/envelope.ts:
- encryptDirect(message, recipientPubkeyHex, senderSecretKeyHex)
→ {nonce, ciphertext} via crypto_box_easy, 24-byte fresh nonce
- decryptDirect(envelope, senderPubkeyHex, recipientSecretKeyHex)
→ plaintext or null (null on MAC failure / malformed input)
- ed25519 keys (from Step 17) are converted to X25519 on the fly via
crypto_sign_ed25519_{pk,sk}_to_curve25519 — one signing keypair
covers both signing + encryption roles.
BrokerClient.send():
- if targetSpec is a 64-hex pubkey → encrypt via crypto_box
- else (broadcast "*" or channel "#foo") → base64-wrapped plaintext
(shared-key encryption for channels lands in a later step)
InboundPush now carries:
- plaintext: string | null (decrypted body, null if decryption failed
OR it's a non-direct message)
- kind: "direct" | "broadcast" | "channel" | "unknown"
MCP check_messages formatter reads plaintext directly.
side-fixes pulled in during 18a:
- apps/broker/scripts/seed-test-mesh.ts now generates real ed25519
keypairs (the previous "aaaa…" / "bbbb…" fillers weren't valid
curve points, so crypto_sign_ed25519_pk_to_curve25519 rejected
them). Seed output now includes secretKey for each peer.
- apps/broker/src/broker.ts drainForMember wraps the atomic claim in
a CTE + outer ORDER BY so FIFO ordering is SQL-sourced, not
JS-sorted (Postgres microsecond timestamps collapse to the same
Date.getTime() milliseconds otherwise).
- vitest.config.ts fileParallelism: false — test files share
DB state via cleanupAllTestMeshes afterAll, so running them in
parallel caused one file's cleanup to race another's inserts.
- integration/health.test.ts "returns 200" now uses waitFullyHealthy
(a 200-only waiter) instead of waitHealthyOrAny — prevents a race
with the startup DB ping.
verified live:
- apps/cli/scripts/roundtrip.ts (direct A→B): ciphertext in DB is
opaque bytes (not base64-plaintext), decrypted correctly on arrival
- apps/cli/scripts/join-roundtrip.ts (full join → encrypted send):
PASSED
- 48/48 broker tests green

Adds scripts/{seed-test-mesh,peer-a,peer-b,smoke-test}.ts|.sh that
prove an end-to-end message flow works against a real Postgres:
- seed-test-mesh.ts creates user+mesh+2 members with deterministic
hex pubkeys ("aa..aa", "bb..bb"), writes seed JSON to stdout
- peer-a.ts sends hello then a direct "send" message to peer B's
pubkey with fake ciphertext "hello-from-a"
- peer-b.ts sends hello, waits up to 5s for a push, asserts
senderPubkey matches peer A, exits 0/1
- smoke-test.sh wires the three together
Verified flow: hello registers presence row → send queues into
mesh.message_queue → fanout matches connected peer by pubkey →
drainForMember joins on mesh.member for senderPubkey → push lands
with ciphertext + correct sender attribution.
Also fixes a date-serialization bug that blocked the first run:
applyPendingHookStatus used `sql${col} >= ${jsDate}` which passed
JS Date.toString() to Postgres (failed to parse). Replaced raw
sql`` template with typed gte/desc/isNotNull operators from
drizzle-orm. Same fix applied in sweepPendingStatuses.
