feat: make Persistence interface async
The 14 Persistence proc fields now return Future[...] with
{.async: (raises: []), gcsafe.}, allowing real I/O backends (SQLite,
encrypted file, network) to suspend rather than block the Chronos event
loop the manager runs on.

Propagates through:
- ReliabilityManager.lock: system.Lock -> chronos.AsyncLock. Acquired
  across awaits cleanly; matches the single-threaded Chronos worker the
  FFI uses. Multi-OS-thread use is now explicitly the caller's
  responsibility.
- sds_utils + sds.nim public API procs (wrapOutgoingMessage,
  unwrapReceivedMessage, markDependenciesMet, setCallbacks,
  resetReliabilityManager, cleanup, ensureChannel, removeChannel, the
  getter snapshots, etc.) are now async.
- FFI request handlers in library/sds_thread/... await the new API.
- Tests converted via an asyncTest template that wraps each test body
  in an async proc; setup/teardown use waitFor for their single async
  call (ensureChannel / cleanup).

Lock scope is preserved exactly: the same call sites that held the
kernel Lock today hold AsyncLock now -- no new locking added.

nim-sds

Nim implementation of the e2e reliability protocol.

Prerequisites

  • Nix package manager

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/logos-messaging/nim-sds.git
cd nim-sds

# Build the shared library
nix build '.#libsds'

# Run tests
nix develop --command nimble test

Building

Desktop

nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds'

Android

nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-android-arm64'
nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-android-amd64'
nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-android-x86'
nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-android-arm'

iOS

nix build --print-out-paths '.#libsds-ios'
Development shell

Enter the dev shell:

nix develop

Build using nimble tasks:

# Dynamic library (auto-detects OS)
nimble libsdsDynamicMac    # macOS
nimble libsdsDynamicLinux  # Linux
nimble libsdsDynamicWindows # Windows

# Static library
nimble libsdsStaticMac     # macOS
nimble libsdsStaticLinux   # Linux
nimble libsdsStaticWindows # Windows

Run tests:

nimble test

The built library is output to build/.

Android (without Nix)

Download the latest Android NDK:

cd ~
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r27c-linux.zip
unzip android-ndk-r27c-linux.zip

Add to ~/.bashrc:

export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$HOME/android-ndk-r27c
export PATH=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH

Then build:

ARCH=arm64 nimble libsdsAndroid
Architecture Command
arm64 ARCH=arm64 nimble libsdsAndroid
amd64 ARCH=amd64 nimble libsdsAndroid
x86 ARCH=x86 nimble libsdsAndroid

The library is output to build/libsds.so.

Dependency management

Dependencies are managed by Nimble and pinned via nimble.lock.

To set up dependencies locally:

nimble setup -l

To update dependencies:

nimble lock

After updating nimble.lock, the Nix outputHash in nix/deps.nix must be recalculated by running nix build and updating the hash from the error output.
