P2p improve - #6
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe project moves to Node.js 24 and a flat ESLint setup. The bootstrap runtime gains role-based configuration, persistent storage, admin endpoints, structured lifecycle handling, improved RabbitMQ publication, hardened container packaging, expanded operations documentation, and Node test coverage. ChangesBootstrap modernization
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to Merge should be blocked because the container is configured to start with an unsupported Node.js 24 option and will exit before the service loads. A separate startup failure path can leave the process running but non-functional, and queue backpressure can cause duplicate peer updates until these issues are corrected or explicitly accepted.

Node.js v24 CLI documentation experimental-specifier-resolution removed unknown option behavior
💡 Result:
The --experimental-specifier-resolution command-line flag was removed from Node.js in version 19.0.0 [1]. Consequently, this option is not present in Node.js v24 documentation [2]. Regarding the behavior of unknown command-line options, Node.js generally treats unrecognized flags as errors [3][4]. Specifically, the Node.js configuration parser is designed to throw an error if a configuration file—such as one used via NODE_OPTIONS—contains unknown keys [3][5]. While the behavior for direct command-line arguments can sometimes result in different levels of strictness depending on the specific flag type (e.g., whether it is a V8 flag or a Node.js-specific flag), passing a non-existent or removed flag like --experimental-specifier-resolution will not be recognized by the Node.js CLI and will typically cause the process to fail or emit an error indicating that the option is unknown [6]. To achieve the functionality previously provided by --experimental-specifier-resolution (such as extension-less imports), you are now expected to use custom module customization hooks (loaders) [7][1].

site:nodejs.org/docs/latest-v24.x/api/cli.html Node.js unknown command-line option error "bad option"
💡 Result:
A Node.js error indicating an unknown command-line option or bad option occurs when you pass a flag to the node executable that it does not recognize or support [1]. To resolve this issue, consider the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Check the Placement of Options: Node.js interprets command-line arguments in a specific order: node [options] [V8 options] [script.js] [--] [arguments] [1]. If you place options after your script filename or after the -- delimiter, Node.js may attempt to parse them as options for the node binary itself, leading to an error [1]. To pass arguments to your script instead of Node.js, place them after -- [1]. 2. Verify Environment Variables: Options can be set via the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable [1]. If an invalid option is defined there, it will trigger an error every time you run node. Check your environment configuration to ensure no unsupported or misspelled flags are present. 3. Consult Official Documentation: Ensure the option you are using is valid for your specific version of Node.js [1]. You can review the supported command-line options in the official Node.js Command-line API documentation [1]. 4. Check for Syntax Errors: Node.js allows options to be separated by dashes (-) or underscores (_) [1]. Ensure your flag is typed correctly (e.g., --pending-deprecation is equivalent to --pending_deprecation) [1]. If you are using a configuration file, note that the Node.js configuration parser will throw an error if the file contains unknown keys or keys that cannot be used in a specific namespace [1].

Exit non-zero when node creation fails.
createNode returns null on any startup error. start() then returns while the process stays alive. libp2p is null, /health answers 503 and /ready answers not-ready, but nothing exits and nothing retries. The admin endpoints bind to loopback only, so an external liveness probe cannot observe this state and a container restart policy never triggers. The service stays permanently non-functional until an operator notices.
Exit deliberately, as the datastore path at Line 759 already does.

amqplib 2.0.1 Channel sendToQueue returns false write buffer backpressure drain official documentation
💡 Result:
In amqplib, the sendToQueue method behaves similarly to a Node.js Writable stream to manage backpressure [1][2]. When you call channel.sendToQueue, the method returns a boolean value [1][3]: - true: The message was successfully written to the internal buffer, and you may continue sending more messages [1]. - false: The channel's internal write buffer is full. This indicates that you should stop sending messages and wait until the channel emits a 'drain' event [1][4]. If sendToQueue returns false, you should cease sending further messages and register a listener for the 'drain' event on the channel [1][5]. The channel will emit this 'drain' event once its internal write buffer has been emptied and it is ready to accept more messages [1]. Attempting to ignore this signal and continuing to send messages can lead to memory exhaustion, event loop saturation, and potential loss of data if the connection is terminated or the application crashes [6]. It is not necessary to re-send the specific message that triggered the false return value, as it is already queued in the channel's internal buffer [5][6]. You simply need to pause your production logic until the drain event occurs [5]. Top results: [1], [4], [5]

Do not treat sendToQueue() === false as a broker rejection.
notifyQueue() skips fingerprint storage when publishToQueue() returns false. However, amqplib uses false to signal a full local write buffer; the message is already buffered. The next update can therefore republish the same peer update. Model publication failure with publisher confirms or channel errors instead.

Bootstrap: dependency refresh, RabbitMQ rewrite, durable state, roles, observability
Why
This service had not been touched in months and sat two majors behind the rest of the stack.
Five problems were live in production:
amqplib:
Connection.onSocketErrorsetsexpectSocketClose, callssafeEmit(this, 'error')—which throws, because the model is not yet bound — and therefore never reaches
toClosed(). Nothing rejected the pending RPC, sorunSetupnever settled, no reconnect wasever scheduled, and the connect promise never resolved. Measured: one connect attempt, then

rate-limit that leaves the node with no TLS address at all.
them after 1 h, and re-storing does not refresh.
What changed
Dependency and toolchain refresh
libp2p and the
@libp2p/*stack brought level with ocean-node, Node 24, flat ESLint config(
.eslintrc/.eslintignoreremoved),strict: truewith no opt-outs, tsoa and its generatedoutput dropped, and the
postinstallpatch script removed — upstream shipped that fix.958 → 515 packages, 0 vulnerabilities.
RabbitMQ — rewritten, then deliberately simplified
Durable queue with persistent messages (RabbitMQ 4.x rejects a transient non-exclusive queue
outright, so this is a compatibility requirement), bounded recovery with backoff, and
'error'listeners on both connection and channel.
Delivery is intentionally best-effort. A peer that misses the queue is not a correctness
problem — the inventory is a cache of who is reachable, and the peer republishes on its next
update, which incremental protocol registration triggers several times per connection. So there
are no publisher confirms, no unconfirmed cap, no drain gate, no fan-in cap:
publishToQueueisfire-and-forget. That removed ~174 lines.
persistent: trueis kept because it is free and abroker restart would otherwise lose the whole fleet, not one peer.
Two crash paths fixed:
'error'listener is installed on the unbound model inside the setup hook — the onlyplace reachable before amqplib binds it. The previous global
uncaughtExceptionguard matchedon error code alone and swallowed DNS failures, libp2p socket resets and unhandled promise
rejections, logging them without a stack and blaming amqplib.
closeRabbitMq()is memoised with bounded closes. Two concurrent calls previously split theresources — one took the channel and waited forever for a
close-okthe other had orphaned.Real symptom:
docker stopduring a broker flap took 8207 ms, exit 1; now 2372 ms, exit 0.Persistent datastore
LevelDatastoreatP2P_DATASTORE_PATH(default./databases/bootstrap-store), explicitlyopened — it has no
start/stop, so libp2p never opens it for you. The Dockerfile pre-createsand chowns the directory and declares
VOLUME ["/usr/src/app/databases"]; the README documentsthe mount as required. Startup probes for the autoTLS certificate key and logs whether one was
loaded or will be provisioned.
This is what makes the peer store lifetime below survive a restart.
ROLEbootstrap(default) orrelay, mutually exclusive. Circuit-relay server, the RabbitMQ feed andthe
maxConnectionsdefault are all derived from it — the previous independentENABLE_CIRCUIT_RELAY_SERVERknob is removed, since that was the drift vector. An invalid valuelogs and exits 1 rather than silently defaulting. A relay does not run the discovery feed even
with
RABBITMQ_URLset.Seed mesh
mDNS finds nothing across cloud regions, so the bootstraps only ever learned about each other from
inbound dials.
@libp2p/bootstrapnow seeds fromBOOTSTRAP_PEERS(env-only, no hardcodedfallback — the default list lives in two other repos and a third copy would drift), tagged
keep-alive-bootstrap-seedwith no TTL. The tag prefix matters: libp2p's reconnect queue onlyredials tags starting with
keep-alive; the plainbootstraptag shields a peer from trimmingbut never reconnects it. A finite TTL would be worse than none — the tag expires, the peer becomes
prunable, and it is never redialled.
Health and readiness
A plain

/healthreports role, DHT mode and libp2p status;/readyreturns 503 with aper-check breakdown until TLS and routing-table conditions are met.
Prometheus metrics are deliberately not part of this PR and will be added separately. There is
no
@libp2p/prometheus-metrics, noprom-client, and no/metricsendpoint — the admin serverexists solely for liveness and readiness.
DHT mode and address hygiene
clientMode: falseon both roles — a bootstrap and a relay are publicly reachable and must beunconditional DHT servers. Mode is logged on start and on every
self:peer:update, and surfacedin
/healthand/ready.peerInfoMappernow defaults toremovePrivateAddressesMapper, withpassthroughMapperonlywhen
P2P_ANNOUNCE_PRIVATE=true. This is the highest-leverage hygiene point in the network: thisnode answers
GET_PROVIDERSandFIND_NODEfor everyone, so any junk address it holds isserved to everyone, and it previously enforced none.
Peer store lifetime
maxAddressAgeandmaxPeerAgeboth 48 h, matching provider-record validity, and now durableacross restarts thanks to the datastore.
Multiaddr publishing, shutdown, limits
peer.addressesentries unwrapped correctly. Payload is{peerId, event, timestamp, multiaddrs, protocols}—protocolsadded because the dedupefingerprint covers them, so a protocol-only change previously produced a byte-identical message.
Addresses ranked (direct-routable → circuit-relay → private) before truncation; the previous
