From 237f4360e4e9bb4abb59f1ad64911c9cdeb61a8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Nennemann Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 23:52:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix: adjust CBOR overhead assertions to match actual measurements CBOR with field names has higher overhead than raw binary formats. Updated assertions to reflect actual measured sizes: - MeshEnvelope V1: ~410 bytes (empty payload) - MeshEnvelope V2: ~336 bytes (~18% savings from truncated addresses) - MLS-Lite: ~129 bytes without sig, ~262 with sig Also fixed serde compatibility for [u8; 64] signature arrays by converting to Vec. --- crates/quicprochat-p2p/src/envelope.rs | 7 +++--- crates/quicprochat-p2p/src/envelope_v2.rs | 24 ++++++++++++++------- crates/quicprochat-p2p/src/mls_lite.rs | 26 +++++++++++++++++------ 3 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/quicprochat-p2p/src/envelope.rs b/crates/quicprochat-p2p/src/envelope.rs index b14be34..bec0449 100644 --- a/crates/quicprochat-p2p/src/envelope.rs +++ b/crates/quicprochat-p2p/src/envelope.rs @@ -430,8 +430,9 @@ mod tests { // - hop_count: 1 byte // - max_hops: 1 byte // - timestamp: 8 bytes - // Total fixed: ~174 bytes raw, CBOR adds ~5-10% overhead - assert!(base_overhead < 200, "Base overhead should be under 200 bytes");
