fix(multisig-client): authenticate consume-notes input notes before every summary (#409) - #460
Conversation
…across sync heights (#409) Summary-binding verification used to re-execute a pending proposal at the verifier's current sync height, so a cosigner syncing at a later block than the proposer could not reproduce the signed summary and the whole listing aborted. Chain-anchored execution (#340) fixed that; nothing asserted it. - Rust: mock-chain test where a fresh cosigner syncs five blocks past the proposal's anchor and lists it through the strict listing, with a control showing a tip re-execution yields a different commitment. - TS: syncProposals must re-execute at the anchor decoded from the proposal's own metadata, never via the sync-height variant, and free it. - Move the mock-GUARDIAN fixtures (account, registered state, pending delta) into test_support so both integration test modules share them. (cherry picked from commit 5dd696d)
…very summary (#409) A consume-notes summary depends on how each input note is consumed, and miden-client decides that per note from the local store alone: a record with an inclusion proof is consumed authenticated, anything else unauthenticated, and the two commit differently into the summary (hash(nullifier || note_id_or_ZERO)). A proposer that had synced the notes and a cosigner on a fresh store therefore signed different commitments, and the cosigner's load failed with "metadata does not match tx_summary" even with the chain anchor pinning the block. Authenticated is now the canonical mode on both SDKs: - Proposal creation authenticates the proposer's notes before the summary and its anchor are captured (fetching missing proofs from the node), and refuses a note that is not committed on chain. - Every rebuild (sync/list, sign, execute, offline import) authenticates the proposal's embedded notes first: notes already authenticated are left alone, the rest get their proofs from the node in one round trip and are imported as committed; an import that lands unverified because the client is behind the note's block triggers one sync. - A note that cannot be authenticated fails with ConsumeNoteNotAuthenticated / ConsumeNoteNotAuthenticatedError (consume_notes_note_not_authenticated) naming the note, never with a summary mismatch. Rust mock-chain tests cover the live shape (public notes synced by the proposer, fresh cosigner lists via the strict path and ends up authenticated), the helper's import/idempotence/refusal, and the earlier cross-height anchor case; TS unit tests cover the helper and the create/verify ordering. Docs and spec 006 (FR-005, FR-014, new FR-015) amended. Verified live on staging (0.17.0-rc.3, devnet) with two Rust demo clients: cosigner on a fresh store loads, lists, signs and executes the pending consume-notes proposal.

Pass the configured RPC endpoint to getRawMidenClient.
RawClientSource can be a public Miden client. In that case, getRawMidenClient requires an RPC URL. This call omits it even though options.midenRpcEndpoint is available. Authentication then fails before it can inspect or import any note.
Proposed fix
- const webClient = await getRawMidenClient(midenClient);
+ const webClient = await getRawMidenClient(midenClient, options.midenRpcEndpoint);Add a regression test that passes a public-client mock and asserts that this endpoint reaches getRawMidenClient.

@zeljkoX, I verified the finding.
getRawMidenClient requires the RPC URL for a public Miden client. ensureNotesAuthenticated has options.midenRpcEndpoint but does not forward it.
- Change
packages/miden-multisig-client/src/transaction/noteAuthentication.tsto call:const webClient = await getRawMidenClient(midenClient, options.midenRpcEndpoint);
- Add a regression test in
packages/miden-multisig-client/src/transaction/noteAuthentication.test.ts.- Pass a public-client-shaped mock as
midenClient. - Use an already-authenticated note to avoid unrelated RPC proof work.
- Assert that
mockGetRawMidenClientreceives the public client andMIDEN_RPC_ENDPOINT.
- Pass a public-client-shaped mock as
- Run the focused
noteAuthentication.test.tstest and the package typecheck after the change.

Map a failed verifying sync to the authentication error.
If import leaves a note unverified and syncState() rejects, this method leaks the raw sync error. The caller cannot handle that failure with consume_notes_note_not_authenticated, unlike proof-fetch and import failures. Catch this rejection and throw ConsumeNoteNotAuthenticatedError for the first remaining note.

Renumber the cross-client parity requirements.
FR-015 is already used by authenticated consumption. The Speckit workflows use requirement identifiers for analysis, validation, and traceability. References such as see FR-015 can therefore resolve to either requirement. Renumber the cross-client parity requirement and all following requirements, then update their references.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It changes high-risk multisig verification/execution behavior (including new node I/O and store mutations) across both SDKs, so it warrants final human validation despite strong test coverage.
Pull request overview
This PR fixes a multisig liveness/consistency bug for consume_notes proposals (issue #409) by enforcing authenticated input-note consumption as the canonical mode across both the TypeScript and Rust multisig SDKs, so that proposal summary commitments are reproducible across devices with different local note-store state.
Changes:
- Add note-authentication helpers (TS + Rust) that fetch inclusion proofs from a Miden node and import proposal-embedded notes as committed before summary rebuild / verification / execution.
- Wire authentication into
consume_notesproposal creation and into proposal verification/rebuild paths, with explicit note-naming errors when authentication cannot be achieved. - Update docs/specs and add targeted regression tests covering cross-store and cross-height verification behavior.

Thanks for working on this.
Approach looks good.
Let's fix before merging:
noteAuthentication.tsgetRawMidenClient is called without options.midenRpcEndpoint.- crates/…/README.md:471 and packages/…/README.md:629 - Both published consume-notes sections still say v2 rebuilds from embedded notes alone with no local-store read and no network call. Error tables still say all four errors and omit ConsumeNoteNotAuthenticated.
…; document the authenticated consume mode Review follow-ups on #460: - `ensureNotesAuthenticated` resolved the raw client without the configured Miden RPC endpoint, which a public `MidenClient` wrapper needs to build its WASM client. Pass `options.midenRpcEndpoint`, with a unit test pinning the argument. - Both package READMEs still described v2 consume-notes verification as "embedded notes alone, no local-store read, no network call" and listed four errors. They now describe the authenticated mode (proofs fetched from the node, notes imported into the store, one sync when behind) and include `ConsumeNoteNotAuthenticated` / `ConsumeNoteNotAuthenticatedError` in the taxonomy and the TS import list.
…te-authentication tests vitest 5 (bumped on main in #459) rejects `new` on an arrow-function mock, so the mocked `Endpoint` and `RpcClient` constructors threw inside the helper's proof fetch and every note came back as not authenticated.
What
A second signer could not load a multisig account while a consume-notes proposal was pending: its listing failed with
metadata does not match tx_summary. Reproduced live on staging (0.17.0-rc.3, devnet) with two Rust demo clients, then fixed and re-verified live.Root cause
The chain anchor (#340) pins the reference block, but a consume-notes summary also depends on how each input note is consumed. miden-client decides that per note, at execution time and from the local store alone: a record carrying its inclusion proof is consumed authenticated, anything else unauthenticated, and the two commit differently into the summary (
hash(nullifier || note_id_or_ZERO)). The proposer had synced the notes (authenticated); a cosigner on a fresh store had nothing (unauthenticated); their summary commitments, and therefore the proposal id, disagreed. There is no request-level override in miden-client to force either mode.Fix
Authenticated is now the canonical mode on both SDKs.
ProposalBuilder::build_consume_notes/createConsumeNotesProposal) authenticates the proposer's notes before the summary and its anchor are captured, fetching missing proofs from the node, and refuses a note that is not yet committed on chain.verify_proposal_summary_binding/verifyProposalMetadataBinding, i.e. sync, sign, execute) authenticates the proposal's embedded notes first: notes already authenticated are left alone, the rest get their inclusion proofs from the node in one round trip and are imported as committed. An import that lands unverified because the client is behind the note's block triggers one sync.MultisigError::ConsumeNoteNotAuthenticated/ConsumeNoteNotAuthenticatedError(consume_notes_note_not_authenticated), naming the note, never with a summary mismatch.New:
transaction/consume.rs::ensure_notes_authenticated(Rust),transaction/noteAuthentication.ts(TS).ProposalBuilder::buildnow takes the node RPC handle.Behaviour changes to know
already-present(it still covers notes whose proposal failed verification for another reason).Not covered here
A second, independent defect found by the same live repro: every guarded transaction loads the fee faucet as a foreign account at the anchor block (the kernel's faucet-callback check), and the devnet node serves account state only ~50 blocks (~2.5 min) back. After that no one can verify or execute a pending proposal. Tracked separately.
Supersedes #410. Closes #409.
