v0.4.7 - Implement NIP-70 Protected Events - Add protected event support with authentication checks, comprehensive testing, and relay metadata protection

- Add cache refresh mechanism for config updates
- Implement selective re-initialization for NIP-11 relay info changes
- Categorize configs as dynamic vs restart-required using requires_restart field
- Enhance admin API responses with restart requirement information
- Add comprehensive test for dynamic config updates
- Update documentation for dynamic configuration capabilities

Most relay settings can now be updated via admin API without requiring restart, improving operational flexibility while maintaining stability for critical changes.

-Inconsistency audit with exact fixes (treating README.md as authoritative)
-
-Backend auth_rules schema mismatch
-Evidence:
-Migration (creates mismatched columns):
-See "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS auth_rules ... UNIQUE(rule_type, operation, rule_target)".
-Active code uses rule_type, pattern_type, pattern_value, action:
-Insert: "INSERT INTO auth_rules (rule_type, pattern_type, pattern_value, action)"
-Delete: "DELETE FROM auth_rules WHERE rule_type = ? AND pattern_type = ? AND pattern_value = ?"
-Query mapping: map_auth_query_type_to_response()
-Queries: "... WHERE rule_type LIKE '%blacklist%'"
-Validator checks:
-"... WHERE rule_type = 'blacklist' AND pattern_type = 'pubkey' AND pattern_value = ?"
-"... WHERE rule_type = 'blacklist' AND pattern_type = 'hash' AND pattern_value = ?"
-"... WHERE rule_type = 'whitelist' AND pattern_type = 'pubkey' AND pattern_value = ?"
-Embedded schema expects pattern columns and active/indexes:
-"CREATE TABLE auth_rules ( ... )"
-"CREATE INDEX idx_auth_rules_pattern ON auth_rules(pattern_type, pattern_value)"
-"CREATE INDEX idx_auth_rules_active ON auth_rules(active)"
-Fix (update migration to align with sql_schema.h/config.c):
-Replace the DDL at "create_auth_rules_sql" with: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS auth_rules ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, rule_type TEXT NOT NULL, -- 'whitelist' | 'blacklist' pattern_type TEXT NOT NULL, -- 'pubkey' | 'hash' | future pattern_value TEXT NOT NULL, -- hex pubkey/hash action TEXT NOT NULL, -- 'allow' | 'deny' active INTEGER DEFAULT 1, created_at INTEGER DEFAULT (strftime('%s','now')), UNIQUE(rule_type, pattern_type, pattern_value) );
-After creation, also create indexes as in "sql_schema.h":
-CREATE INDEX idx_auth_rules_pattern ON auth_rules(pattern_type, pattern_value);
-CREATE INDEX idx_auth_rules_type ON auth_rules(rule_type);
-CREATE INDEX idx_auth_rules_active ON auth_rules(active);
-Duplicate UI function + stale DOM id usage
-Evidence:
-Duplicate definition of disconnectFromRelay() and disconnectFromRelay(); the second overwrites the first and uses legacy element access paths.
-Stale variable: "const relayUrl = document.getElementById('relay-url');" — no element with id="relay-url" exists; the real input is "relay-connection-url" and is referenced as "relayConnectionUrl".
-Calls using relayUrl.value.trim() (must use relayConnectionUrl):
-"sendConfigUpdateCommand() publish URL"
-"loadAuthRules() publish URL"
-"deleteAuthRule() publish URL"
-Tests:
-"testGetAuthRules()"
-"testClearAuthRules()"
-"testAddBlacklist()"
-"testAddWhitelist()"
-"testConfigQuery()"
-"testPostEvent()"
-Fix:
-Remove the duplicate legacy function entirely: delete the second disconnectFromRelay().
-Remove stale variable: delete "const relayUrl = document.getElementById('relay-url');".
-Replace every relayUrl.value.trim() occurrence with relayConnectionUrl.value.trim() at the lines listed above.
-Supported NIPs inconsistency (README vs UI fallback)
-Evidence:
-README implemented NIPs checklist (authoritative): "NIPs list" shows: 1, 9, 11, 13, 15, 20, 33, 40, 42 implemented.
-UI fallback for manual relay info includes unsupported/undocumented NIPs and misses implemented ones:
-"supported_nips: [1, 2, 4, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 22]"
-"supported_nips: [1, 2, 4, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 22]"
-Fix:
-Replace both arrays with: [1, 9, 11, 13, 15, 20, 33, 40, 42]
-Config key mismatches (README vs UI edit form)
-Evidence:
-README keys (authoritative): "Available Configuration Keys"–(README.md:110)
-relay_description, relay_contact, max_connections, max_subscriptions_per_client, max_event_tags, max_content_length, auth_enabled, nip42_auth_required, nip42_auth_required_kinds, nip42_challenge_timeout, pow_min_difficulty, nip40_expiration_enabled
-UI currently declares/uses many non-README keys:
-Field types: "fieldTypes" include nip42_auth_required_events, nip42_auth_required_subscriptions, relay_port, pow_mode, nip40_expiration_strict, nip40_expiration_filter, nip40_expiration_grace_period, max_total_subscriptions, max_filters_per_subscription, max_message_length, default_limit, max_limit.
-Descriptions: "descriptions" reflect the same non-README keys.
-Fix:
-Restrict UI form generation to README keys and rename mismatches:
-Combine nip42_auth_required_events/subscriptions into README’s "nip42_auth_required" (boolean).
-Rename nip42_challenge_expiration to "nip42_challenge_timeout".
-Remove or hide (advanced section) non-README keys: relay_port, pow_mode, nip40_expiration_strict, nip40_expiration_filter, nip40_expiration_grace_period, max_total_subscriptions, max_filters_per_subscription, max_message_length, default_limit, max_limit.
-Update both "fieldTypes" and "descriptions" to reflect only README keys (data types and labels consistent).
-First-time startup port override (-p) ignored when -a and -r are also provided
-Observation:
-You confirmed: first run with -p 7777 works, but with -p plus -a and -r the override isn’t honored.
-Likely cause:
-The code path that handles admin/relay key overrides on first-time setup bypasses persisting the CLI port override to config/unified cache before server start, so "start_websocket_relay(-1, ...)" falls back to default.
-Fix:
-Ensure first_time_startup_sequence applies cli_options.port_override to persistent config and cache BEFORE default config insertion and before starting the server. Specifically:
-In the first-time path (main):
-After "first_time_startup_sequence(&cli_options)" and before creating defaults on the -a/-r path at "populate_default_config_values()", write the port override:
-set_config_value_in_table("relay_port", "<port>", "integer", "WebSocket port", "relay", 0);
-and update unified cache if required by the port resolution code.
-Verify the code path where -a/-r trigger direct table population also applies/overwrites the port with the CLI-provided value.
-Add a regression test to assert that -p is honored with and without -a/-r on first run.
-Minor consistency recommendations
-UI NIP-11 fallback version string:
-Consider aligning with backend version source (e.g., src/version.h). The UI currently hardcodes "1.0.0" at "version: '1.0.0'".
-UI hardcoded relay pubkey fallback:
-"getRelayPubkey()" returns a constant when not connected. Safe for dev, but should not leak into production paths.
-Added TODO items (as requested)
-
-The following todos were added/organized:
- Remove duplicate disconnectFromRelay() and standardize to relay-connection-url
- Replace all relayUrl.value references with relayConnectionUrl.value in api/index.html
- Align Supported NIPs fallback arrays in api/index.html with README (1,9,11,13,15,20,33,40,42)
- Update config form keys/descriptions in api/index.html to match README keys
- Fix backend auth_rules migration in src/main.c to match src/sql_schema.h/src/config.c
- Investigate and fix first-time startup port override ignored when -a and -r are provided
- Add tests for port override and auth_rules flows
- Rebuild via ./make_and_restart_relay.sh and validate against README

+### Dynamic Configuration Updates
+
+C-Relay supports **dynamic configuration updates** without requiring a restart for most settings. Configuration parameters are categorized as either **dynamic** (can be updated immediately) or **restart-required** (require relay restart to take effect).
+
+**Dynamic Configuration Parameters (No Restart Required):**
+- All relay information (NIP-11) settings: `relay_name`, `relay_description`, `relay_contact`, `relay_software`, `relay_version`, `supported_nips`, `language_tags`, `relay_countries`, `posting_policy`, `payments_url`
+- Authentication settings: `auth_enabled`, `nip42_auth_required`, `nip42_auth_required_kinds`, `nip42_challenge_timeout`
+- Subscription limits: `max_subscriptions_per_client`, `max_total_subscriptions`
+- Event validation limits: `max_event_tags`, `max_content_length`, `max_message_length`
+- Proof of Work settings: `pow_min_difficulty`, `pow_mode`
+- Event expiration settings: `nip40_expiration_enabled`, `nip40_expiration_strict`, `nip40_expiration_filter`, `nip40_expiration_grace_period`
+
+**Restart-Required Configuration Parameters:**
+- Connection settings: `max_connections`, `relay_port`
+- Database and core system settings
+
+When updating configuration, the admin API response will indicate whether a restart is required for each parameter. Dynamic updates take effect immediately and are reflected in NIP-11 relay information documents without restart.
+
 ### Response Format
 
 All admin commands return **signed EVENT responses** via WebSocket following standard Nostr protocol. Responses use JSON content with structured data.
