## Vac 2025/11/10 §

### highlights §

- QA: RLN contract fuzz and adversarial suites expanded via waku-rlnv2-contract#40 and #42, keeping the property-based pipeline current with protocol changes.
- QA: Status-go functional tests gained new settings wrappers plus reduced noise as status-go#6984 iterates toward green.
- QA: Desktop QA broadened e2e coverage around toplevel windows, Squish 9.1 setup, and Windows send flows while verifying release PRs such as status-desktop#19227.
- QA: Mobile QA advanced BrowserStack/Jenkins wiring (status-desktop#19163) and continued the Appium 1x1 chat test port.
- DST: Gas-price overflow during RLN registrations was isolated on `vac:dst:waku:2025q4-waku-scaling:TWN-supports-RLN-tree`, explaining the stalled Merkle tree fills.
- DST: Browser bootstrapping work overcame multi-arch docker manifest gaps and now runs in the dedicated `zerotesting-pwhite` namespace.
- DST: Codex-in-Status integration scenarios were tuned via retention and archival limits ahead of handoff.
- DST: Regression sweeps on nwaku v0.37 exposed packet loss/logging issues, prompting new image proposals and analysis script fixes.
- Nim: Nimble 1.0.0 now supports Nim binary parametrization (nimble#1514) and instrumentation call trees (#1511).
- Nim: Packaging fixes such as copying VCS metadata before install (nimble#1513) and addressing `nimResolve` assertion defects (#1512) cleared several long-standing issues.
- Nim: Confutils now flattens nested options and improves subcommand help thanks to status-im/nim-confutils#118 and #119.
- P2P: QUIC stabilization merged docker-compose harnesses plus negotiated protocol, wildcard resolver, EOF handling, and timeout fixes across nim-libp2p/nim-quic.
- P2P: C-bindings now support threaded workers and richer request handling via nim-libp2p#1820.
- P2P: Kademlia provider work delivered `getProviders`, provider-manager limits, and integration test prep spanning nim-libp2p#1852, #1789, #1843, and #1848.
- P2P: Maintenance tightened test layouts, coverage bundles, CI naming, and AsyncSemaphore support in nim-chronos#586.
- ACZ: Zerokit removed the legacy FFI implementation (zerokit#337) while the wasm/public API rework (#352) moves toward review.
- ACZ: RLN shared database PoC now has unit tests and pending performance fixes before landing in the monorepo.
- ACZ: Logos discovery RFC drafting advanced alongside a working POC covering lookup/advertise flows and registrar RPC exchanges.
