feat: NIP-03 opentimestamps support (#105)

[archief2910]

Description

This PR adds NIP-03 support: kind 1040 events that carry a base64-encoded OpenTimestamps (.ots) proof for another event.

• src/utils/nip03.ts — Structural parser and validator for binary .ots files: magic header, version, hash op, file digest, commitment tree, and attestation classification. Enforces SHA-256 file digest, digest equals the e-tagged event id (hex), and at least one Bitcoin block-header attestation. Does not verify against the Bitcoin chain (clients use ots verify / Esplora as in the NIP).
• TimestampEventStrategy — Handles kind 1040: requires exactly onee tag (valid 64-char hex id), optional well-formed k tag, then runs validateOtsProof on content.
• eventStrategyFactory — Dispatches kind 1040 to TimestampEventStrategy (alongside existing strategies).
• EventKinds.OPEN_TIMESTAMPS and EventTags.Kind in src/constants/base.ts; isOpenTimestampsEvent in src/utils/event.ts.
• package.jsonsupportedNips and README.md features list updated to include NIP-03.

Related Issue

Closes#105

Motivation and Context

Issue #105 asks for NIP-03 so relays can accept and store OpenTimestamps attestations in a way that is not misleading: invalid proofs (wrong digest, no Bitcoin attestation, corrupt .ots) are rejected before persistence, while full blockchain verification remains a client concern per the NIP.

How Has This Been Tested?

• Environment: Node as in package.json engines, Windows (local); CI should run Linux.
• Commands run:
  • npm run build:check
  • npm run lint
  • npm run knip
  • npm run test:unit (full suite)
• New tests:test/unit/utils/nip03.spec.ts (parser + validateOtsProof), test/unit/handlers/event-strategies/timestamp-event-strategy.spec.ts (strategy), extended test/unit/factories/event-strategy-factory.spec.ts.

hi @cameri , can you review it once i have implemented the nip-03 through this pr.

Pull request overview

Adds relay-side support for NIP-03 OpenTimestamps attestations by introducing structural .ots proof parsing/validation and a new event strategy for kind 1040, plus unit/integration coverage and metadata/docs updates.

Changes:

• Add src/utils/nip03.ts to parse .ots binaries and validate base64-encoded proofs (sha256 digest match + bitcoin attestation requirement).
• Add TimestampEventStrategy for kind 1040 and dispatch it from eventStrategyFactory.
• Update constants/metadata (EventKinds.OPEN_TIMESTAMPS, EventTags.Kind, supportedNips, README) and add tests (unit + cucumber integration).

were you able to test it with a client that supports OTS?

[archief2910]

yes i was able to test it with the client that supports ots . it worked i will update them in a bit.

[archief2910]

the environment in which i ran was with relay in docker and my ots tool was opentimestamps-client on the path.we grab a real kind 1040 from the public relay , run ots on the proof to show it’s a real timestamp file, then my local nostream accepts and returns that same NIP-03-shaped event.

Let's migrate this to TypeScript
