Channels autoshard onto the relay shards the node subscribes to at startup, so a publish only reaches peers once one of those shards has a gossipsub mesh. Discovery plus grafting takes tens of seconds, and the previous unconditional sleep(3s) returned long before that — so a message sent in the first seconds of a conversation was published into an unformed mesh and silently dropped, only sometimes rescued by SDS retransmission. The node thread now waits on the topic-health event for the first shard to reach a mesh (MinimallyHealthy or better) before reporting ready, bounded by a timeout so an isolated node still comes up. Measured effect: an immediate send after joining went from mostly dropping to landing ~6/7 of the time, with startup settling in ~5s once the network is reachable.

libchat
Supporting library for Logos-chat
Example app
bin/chat-cli is an end-to-end encrypted CLI chat app
built on this library. With --transport logos-delivery it rides
logos-delivery (Waku-based),
so two users anywhere in the world can chat by sharing an intro bundle. A local
file transport is bundled in and is the default; pick at runtime with
--transport <logos-delivery|file>.
# Fetch the logos-delivery bindings and their Nim sources
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Build (the first build compiles the Nim tree and is slow)
nix develop -c cargo build --release -p chat-cli
# Run
./target/release/chat-cli --name alice --transport logos-delivery
bin/channel-chat is a smaller example: a room chat built
directly on logos-delivery's reliable channels API, with no encryption or
libchat stack in the way.
See bin/chat-cli/README.md for full build,
run, and test instructions.
logos-delivery
The native node is reached through
waku-bindings, pinned as a submodule.
Its build script compiles liblogosdelivery from the Nim sources in its own
vendor/ submodule, so a recursive checkout and the nix develop toolchain are
what a build needs — there is no prebuilt library to point at.
