feat: implement NIP-17 & NIP-44 v2 for Modern Direct Messages

[CKodidela]

Description

This PR introduces comprehensive support for NIP-17 (Private Direct Messages) and NIP-44 v2 (Encrypted Payloads), establishing the modern standard for secure messaging on Nostr.

Changes included:

• NIP-17 Support:
  • Added new Event Kinds: Seal (13), Direct Message (14), File Message (15), and Gift Wrap (1059).
  • Implemented GiftWrapEventStrategy to handle and validate incoming Gift Wrap events.
  • Added repository-level protections to block direct relay publication of inner events (Kinds 13, 14, 15), mandating they be encrypted inside a Gift Wrap.
• NIP-44 v2 Crypto:
  • Implemented nip44Encrypt and nip44Decrypt functions supporting ChaCha20, HKDF extraction/expansion, and MAC verification as per NIP-44 v2 specifications.
  • Added validateNip44Payload to ensure payloads adhere to the exact format requirements without needing to decrypt them.
• Cleanup:
  • Removed deprecated encryptKind4Event (legacy NIP-04 DM algorithm) from event.ts.
  • Updated package.json to declare NIPs 17 and 44 in supportedNipExtensions.
• Tests:
  • Added extensive unit tests across NIP-44 encryption logic, Event Strategies, and Message Handlers.
  • Resolved sort-imports ESLint violations in multiple handler specs.

Motivation and Context

The Nostr ecosystem is migrating to NIP-17 and NIP-44 v2 for private direct messages because the legacy NIP-04 standard was found to have systemic metadata leaks and weak encryption. This PR adopts the new, much more private standard by actively supporting Gift Wrap events, handling NIP-44 payload validation natively, and safely rejecting any unprotected inner events before they hit the database, ultimately protecting the relay's users.

How Has This Been Tested?

• Added specific unit tests for all NIP-44 v2 crypto functions (key derivation, encryption limits, validation failures).
• Unit tested the newly added helper methods detecting NIP-17 inner events.
• Covered EventMessageHandler with tests to ensure it correctly blocks standard publications of Kinds 13, 14, and 15 without a wrapper.
• Validated NIP-59/NIP-17 structural integrity (p tags limitations) within GiftWrapEventStrategy.spec.ts.
• Automatically passed standard verification layers, including fixing prior ESLint violations in test packages, and successfully executed npm run test:unit.

Pull request overview

Adds modern Nostr direct-message support by introducing NIP-17 event kinds and handling for Gift Wrap events, alongside a new NIP-44 v2 encryption/decryption utility and associated unit tests.

Changes:

• Added NIP-44 v2 crypto utilities (nip44Encrypt, nip44Decrypt, validateNip44Payload, getConversationKey) plus test vectors and round-trip tests.
• Introduced NIP-17-related event kinds (13/14/15/1059), helpers, and a GiftWrapEventStrategy to validate/persist/broadcast Gift Wrap events.
• Blocked direct publication of NIP-17 inner kinds (13/14/15) in EventMessageHandler, and updated relay metadata (supportedNips).
