Problem

Importing a seed sometimes ends with "Account imported, but Mostro did not answer…"; importing again works.

Log of a failing attempt (logs are cleared on import, so this is that attempt alone):

10:59:25 orders: daemon-message watcher already live for trade=ef9f72ca — re-arm refreshed its lease
10:59:25 restore: RestoreSession published trade_index=1 — waiting for daemon
10:59:25 publish … OK ×3 (nos.lol, shadowbip, mostro-p2p.tech)
10:59:32 relay: notice relay=wss://nos.lol msg=ERROR: too many concurrent REQs
10:59:35 publish … relay.mostro.network FAIL: timeout
10:59:43 relay: closed sub=… relay=wss://relay.mostro.network msg=Number of subscriptions exceeds limit

No daemon-msg line and no rejection: no reply reached the app within the 10 s window (NoDaemonResponse). Meanwhile relays refuse or close our subscriptions, and the app ignores CLOSED (only logs it, orders.rs RelayMessage::Closed), so the re-armed watcher is trusted as live where it may not exist. The root cause — subscription count and CLOSED handling — is #523.

A second, latent flaw found on the way: a restore is correlated by trade pubkey only (take_matching_restore), and after a re-import the counter restarts, so the restore's key (index 1) is the one every earlier import already restored with. The global kind-14 feed replays those old RestoreData / CantDo replies, and the first to arrive answered the new request — a stale snapshot or a false rejection.

Fix

  • Retry once: recover_trades runs restore_session through retry_once_on_no_response. Each attempt derives a fresh trade key and opens its own subscriptions — what the user was doing by hand. Any other error, or a second silence, is returned as is.
  • Age gate: PendingRequestKind::Restore { sent_at }; take_matching_restore(pubkey, reply_ts) only accepts a reply no more than RESTORE_REPLY_SKEW_SECS (30 s) older than the request. Both call sites (the RestoreSession and CantDo arms) pass the event's created_at.

Tests

  • take_matching_restore_ignores_replies_older_than_the_request: a reply 31 s older than the request leaves the record; one exactly 30 s older (daemon clock behind) resolves it.
  • a_restore_without_reply_is_retried_once, a_restore_is_never_retried_twice_nor_after_a_real_error.
  • Existing restore-matching tests updated to the new signature.
  • cargo test 751 passed; clippy adds nothing; FRB regeneration produces no diff.

Test plan

  • cd rust && cargo test && cargo clippy
  • Device: reinstall → import the seed a few times → no "Mostro did not answer" (or, if the relays refuse both attempts, the log shows retrying once on a fresh trade key)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved session restoration by retrying once when no response is received.
    • Prevented outdated restoration responses from being incorrectly matched after a session re-import.
    • Improved restoration response matching by accounting for response timing.

A seed import sometimes ended in "Mostro did not answer" and worked on
the second try. The log of a failing attempt shows the RestoreSession
reaching 3 of 4 relays and no daemon reply at all within the 10 s
window, while nos.lol refused REQs ("too many concurrent REQs") and
relay.mostro.network CLOSED subscriptions ("exceeds limit") — the
waiting subscription had been re-armed as "already live" (#523).

- recover_trades retries once on NoDaemonResponse: each attempt derives
  a fresh trade key and opens its own subscriptions.
- A restore is correlated by trade pubkey only, and after a re-import
  that key (index 1) is one every earlier import restored with; the
  global feed replays those RestoreData/CantDo replies. The pending
  record now keeps its send time and take_matching_restore ignores a
  reply more than 30 s older than the request.

Walkthrough

Restore requests now record send timestamps. Restore replies use timestamp-aware correlation. Trade recovery retries one time after a no-response error. Tests cover timestamp matching, stale replies, and retry limits.

Changes

Restore session recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timestamp-aware restore matching
rust/src/mostro/pending.rs
PendingRequestKind::Restore now stores sent_at. take_matching_restore accepts reply_ts and applies a 30-second skew allowance. Tests cover stale replies and restore-only, one-time consumption.
Restore reply wiring
rust/src/api/orders.rs
Restore requests store their send timestamp. Restore and CantDo reply handling passes daemon event timestamps to the matcher.
No-response retry
rust/src/mostro/pending.rs, rust/src/api/orders.rs
retry_once_on_no_response retries once for NoDaemonResponse. recover_trades uses the helper. Tests verify retry limits and error handling.

237-238: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reference NO_DAEMON_RESPONSE instead of duplicating the literal string.

retry_once_on_no_response compares the error string against this constant with exact equality. The unchanged fallback branches in rust/src/api/orders.rs (create_order's timeout arm and restore_session's timeout arm) still build the error with the hardcoded literal "NoDaemonResponse" instead of crate::mostro::pending::NO_DAEMON_RESPONSE. If either string ever changes without updating the other, the retry silently stops firing, and no compiler error catches it.

The codebase already has a precedent for this: crate::mostro::trade_index::INVALID_TRADE_INDEX is referenced by its constant across module boundaries in orders.rs, rather than duplicated as a literal. Apply the same pattern here.

♻️ Proposed fix
-            return Err(anyhow::anyhow!("NoDaemonResponse"));
+            return Err(anyhow::anyhow!(crate::mostro::pending::NO_DAEMON_RESPONSE));

Apply this at both create_order's and restore_session's no-response fallback branches in rust/src/api/orders.rs.

The retry matches the marker by exact equality, but every path that
raises it still built the literal by hand. They now use
mostro::pending::NO_DAEMON_RESPONSE, and a guard test fails on any new
spelling of it outside the constant's own module.

Re: review 5258856802 — valid, fixed in b1a7cf0. All seven paths that raise the marker (create_order, take_order, send_invoice, restore_session, the bond and dispute requests) now use crate::mostro::pending::NO_DAEMON_RESPONSE instead of the literal, matching how INVALID_TRADE_INDEX is referenced. Added nothing_spells_the_marker_out_a_second_time: it scans rust/src and fails on the literal outside the constant's module and the retry's own tests — verified failing with one literal put back. cargo test 752 passed.
