Widget styles now prefer --bitgate-* custom properties, falling back to the
deprecated --gov-* names and then the existing defaults so current pages and
overrides keep working. Browser bundles and ESM entry points expose VERSION
(and window.bitgate.version) from package.json. Document allowlist on the
widget policy preset list. Sync the lockfile so npm ci sees @bitgate/standalone.

The engine already honored requireAllowlist + allowlistMiss, and the
commerce example configured a seller allowlist by hand -- but there was no
reusable, named "only show allowlisted publishers" preset, the symmetric
twin of the denylist. Integrators (Tessera) punted on allowlist mode for
lack of one.
Add ALLOWLIST_POLICY (registry name "allowlist"): a publisher is shown only
when an authorized actor has contributed a user-allow for them, and every
unlisted publisher misses and is hidden across all four dimensions.
Administrative denials still apply on top, and protected actors (root,
moderators) are never gated -- the people who curate the list can always
see. Populate userAllow exactly as the denylist: signed contributions
resolved from relays (e.g. NIP-32 allow labels).
Exported from @bitgate/core, registered in POLICY_PRESETS, documented in the
README, and covered by presets.test.js (unlisted hidden, allowlisted shown,
protected bypasses).
Addresses the "allowlist / whitelist mode" item of the Tessera integration
feedback (docs/TODO.md).

Closes the four spec gaps from the audit, verified against the NIPs repo.
NIP-65 (kind 10002) — the one that was actually breaking things. Mute lists are
published by each contact to their own write relays, so querying a fixed relay
set finds only the subset who happen to write where this deployment reads. The
trust graph was silently under-fed and counts came out low, which looks like
"nobody muted them" rather than like a bug. Adds a relay-list codec, per-author
grouping with a fallback for accounts that have published no list, and
on-demand relay connections in the transport so an outbox query can reach
relays that were never configured.
NIP-51 private entries — the viewer's own private mutes are now decrypted
through their signer (NIP-44) and applied as viewer mutes. Someone who mutes
privately previously got no effect at all. The privacy boundary is asymmetric
and enforced at the codec: another account's private list is never decoded,
and the check lives there rather than in the caller's discipline.
NIP-02 (kind 3) — the runtime can build the trust graph itself, so
<bitgate-provider> no longer needs a host to supply a follow list. Set
trust="manual" to opt out.
NIP-56 vocabulary — SOCIAL_POLICY declared thresholds for "harassment", which
is not a NIP-56 type, so no standard client could ever trigger it. Replaced
with the defined vocabulary and asserted in tests. Commerce keeps its
marketplace-specific categories, now documented as deliberate, with defaults so
unclassified reports are never silently dropped.
Two bugs found by the new tests:
- checkout had no default threshold, so a flood of "other" reports did nothing
at the one place money changes hands. Now earns review, never auto-denial.
- describe() spread diagnostics after a derived field, so a stale zero shadowed
the live relay-list count.
Adds docs/nips.md recording coverage, deliberate choices, and remaining gaps —
NIP-32 labelling being the largest.
811 tests.
Renames the project and makes it as easy to adopt as BitLogin, which was the
stated bar and which it did not previously meet.
Rename (ADR 0005): @nostr-governance/* -> @bitgate/*, governance-* elements ->
bitgate-*, createGovernanceRuntime -> createBitGate. "Governance" reads as DAO
voting to this audience and named a category rather than a product; BitGate
names the benefit and joins the bit- family that BitVid and BitRoad compose
with. Domain types keep their names — the product is BitGate, the subject
matter is still governance. The migration plan is left as written; this ADR
records the change rather than rewriting history.
Drop-in distribution (ADR 0006): adopting BitGate meant supplying a transport,
authoring a policy, and wiring every element in JavaScript. Now:
- createRelayTransport(urls) — WebSocket transport with reconnection, backoff,
subscription replay, and cross-relay dedupe
- policy presets (social, commerce, admin-only) addressable by name; the engine
still carries no thresholds of its own
- <bitgate-provider> — configuration in markup, with descendants finding the
runtime through a bubbling context event rather than DOM walking, which
breaks across shadow boundaries
- npm run build:widget — a self-contained dist/bitgate.js
That last one came from running it in a browser rather than from a test. Bare
specifiers resolve in Node and vitest but not in a browser, so the widget
source worked everywhere except a plain static page — the one place it exists
to serve. The bundle is not committed: consumers build from reviewed source.
Also found by running it: the provider's ready event fires during element
upgrade, before a page that defines elements after parsing can attach a
listener, so it now exposes `ready` as a promise too.
Four bugs fixed along the way, three found by new tests and one by the browser:
admin state stayed silent when a roster change altered capabilities but no
denials; the relay transport sent every subscription twice on connect; the
commerce preset computed a meaningless visibility verdict at checkout and could
hide a listing from its own seller; <bitgate-status> threw on an unusable
decision.
759 tests; lint, typecheck, and both builds clean.
Proves the engine did not stay video-specific during extraction.
- application adapter contract in core (createApplicationAdapter,
evaluateObject, collectTargets): an object names the targets that govern it
and the strictest verdict reaching any of them wins, so denying a seller
takes their whole catalogue down with no cascade logic in the application
- examples/commerce: a marketplace on the public API covering all ten
proof-of-fit behaviors the plan requires, including that no core change was
needed. One product, one snapshot, four surfaces, four different verdicts.
- README, integration guide, per-example README, CHANGELOG, four ADRs, and
GPL-3.0-or-later LICENSE (the license was listed in Phase 1 but missing)
- checkpoints rewritten to reflect actual state and to say plainly which
migration-plan phases belong to the consumer repos rather than here
Fixes a real gap found by the proof-of-fit: composeDecisions kept only the
first decision's evidence, so an object governed by several targets lost the
evidence that drove its verdict. Evidence now merges — counts summed,
contributor lists unioned, flags or-ed.
556 tests; lint, typecheck, and per-package type build clean.
The evaluator was a skeleton with invented thresholds (5/3/10/5) and two
unimplemented branches. Rebuild it against the migration plan's spec and the
behavior characterized from the pinned reference commit.
Core:
- four independent decision dimensions (ranking, visibility, interaction,
transaction) with severity ladders and max-merge composition
- stable reason identifiers replacing free-text strings
- structured evidence, redacted unless a profile opts in
- administrative-state reduction with capability filtering at merge time, so
revoking a role drops that actor's entries immediately
- protected actors stripped from every denial set
- snapshot fingerprints for cache invalidation
- generic policy engine: applications supply profiles and category thresholds;
the core carries none of its own
Characterization:
- 34 generated fixtures covering every behavior the plan's Phase 0 requires
- conformance suite that actually evaluates them, replacing a placeholder that
asserted a list's length
- reference thresholds (3/3/20/5, 60-day mute window) live in bitvid-compat as
an application profile, not as engine defaults
Fixes found while building:
- reduceAdminState accepted malformed target identifiers, because getTargetKey
formats anything it is given
- community-user-deny fired for any contributor rather than only for
community-curated sources
273 tests pass; typecheck and the reference-import guard are clean.
Replace pnpm-only workspace: protocol with npm workspace deps, pin BitVid and
BitRoad reference commits, add Node types, and make the reference-import check
scan package graphs and source for forbidden bitvid/bitroad imports.
