Summary

Step 2 of the partial-messages implementation (tracking issue #435, design doc).

This PR introduces the public API surface and internal state management layer. No routing changes.

New — public API (io.libp2p.pubsub.gossip.partialmessages)

  • PartialMessagesHandler<PeerState>onIncomingRpc + onEmitGossip callbacks; PartialMessagesPeerFeedback passed per-call (resolves open question from design doc §9: context-object-per-callback rather than constructor injection)
  • PublishAction<PeerState> / PublishActionsFn<PeerState>
  • PartialMessagesPeerFeedback interface + FeedbackKind enum

New — internal state management

  • GroupId — content-equality ByteArray wrapper safe as HashMap key
  • GroupState<PeerState> — per-(topic, groupId) container with mutable TTL and app-opaque peerStates
  • PartialGroupStateStore<PeerState> — TTL countdown + GC (on ttl ≤ 0 or empty peerStates), DoS caps (255/topic, 8/topic/peer — matching go-libp2p defaults), onPeerDisconnected, onTopicUnsubscribed
  • PartialMessagesAdapter (internal) / PartialMessagesAdapterImpl<PeerState> — erases PeerState at the GossipRouter boundary via a single @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST") in the builder

Wiring

  • GossipRouterBuilder: new partialMessagesHandler field; build-time IllegalStateException if PARTIAL_MESSAGES extension is enabled without a handler
  • GossipRouter: internal var partialMessages: PartialMessagesAdapter? (set post-construction by the builder)

Tests

  • 21 new unit tests for PartialGroupStateStore covering: GroupId equality, local/peer group creation, both DoS caps, TTL countdown + GC, resetTtl, onPeerDisconnected, onTopicUnsubscribed
  • Updated existing tests that enable GossipExtension.PARTIAL_MESSAGES to supply the now-required partialMessagesHandler (via nopPartialMessagesHandler in GossipTestsBase)

Test plan

  • PartialGroupStateStoreTest — 21 tests, all pass
  • Full gossip test suite — all pass
  • spotlessCheck + detekt — clean

Captures the MVP scope, jvm-libp2p/client responsibility boundary,
client-facing API, routing semantics, per-group lifecycle and DoS
caps, and the implementation plan for the gossipsub partial-messages
extension. Lands ahead of implementation so sub-issues of libp2p#435 can
reference a stable design anchor.
Step 1 of the partial-messages extension: plumb SubOpts.requestsPartial /
SubOpts.supportsSendingPartial through subscribe announcements in both
directions, and track the per-peer-per-topic receive state.

- AbstractRouter parses the flags with the spec-mandated coercion
  (supportsSendingPartial := requestsPartial || supportsSendingPartial)
  and zeroes them on subscribe=false.
- New enqueueSubscribe hook unifies outbound subscribe enqueueing so
  GossipRouter can attach per-topic flags in a single override.
- GossipRouter exposes setTopicPartialFlags(topic, ...) to configure
  flags advertised for a locally-subscribed topic, and stores inbound
  flags in a new PartialSubscriptionState (plain HashMap on the pubsub
  event loop). State is cleaned on peer disconnect, topic unsubscribe,
  and per-peer unsubscribe.
- Outbound unsubscribe MUST NOT carry partial flags; enforced at the
  SubscriptionPart wire-build site.

No routing behaviour changes yet. See docs/partial-messages.md §4.5,
§5, §6.1 for context.
…t addSubscription overload

- `PartialSubscriptionWireTest`: route reads of `partialSubscriptionState`
  through `submitOnEventThread { ... }.join()`. The state container is
  not thread-safe; direct access from the JUnit thread races the event
  loop and can surface as `ConcurrentModificationException` or stale
  reads. Two helpers (`peerFlagsOnEventLoop`, `snapshotPartialStateOnEventLoop`)
  establish the happens-before barrier.

- `RpcPartsQueue`: remove the 2-arg `addSubscription(topic, status)`
  default overload. The remaining 4-arg abstract method is the single
  source of truth; `addSubscribe` / `addUnsubscribe` remain the
  convenience entry points.
- `PartialSubFlags.coerce(requestsPartial, supportsSendingPartial)`:
  single source of truth for the spec coercion rule
  `supportsSendingPartial := requestsPartial || supportsSendingPartial`.
  Used from `GossipRouter.setTopicPartialFlags` for the outbound side.
  AbstractRouter keeps the inline expression for the receive side to
  avoid a reverse layering dependency (pubsub -> gossip); a comment
  notes the rule is applied on both sides.

- `PartialSubscriptionState.setPeerFlags`: document that passing
  `PartialSubFlags.NONE` (or any equivalent all-false flags) is
  treated as a removal. Makes the set-sometimes-deletes invariant
  explicit for readers.

- `AbstractRouter.handleMessageSubscriptions`: add Kdoc now that the
  method is `protected open`. Documents the "call super" contract
  for overrides (GossipRouter relies on this to keep peersTopics and
  partialSubscriptionState in sync) and the flag-normalisation
  precondition.
Introduces the public partial-messages API surface and the internal
state management layer required before any routing logic lands:

Public API (io.libp2p.pubsub.gossip.partialmessages):
- PartialMessagesHandler<PeerState> — onIncomingRpc + onEmitGossip;
  PartialMessagesPeerFeedback passed per-call (resolves open question
  from design doc §9)
- PublishAction<PeerState> / PublishActionsFn<PeerState>
- PartialMessagesPeerFeedback interface + FeedbackKind enum

Internal state management:
- GroupId — content-equality ByteArray wrapper for use as map key
- GroupState<PeerState> — per-(topic,groupId) container with mutable
  TTL and app-opaque peerStates
- PartialGroupStateStore<PeerState> — TTL countdown, GC on ttl≤0 or
  empty peerStates, DoS caps (255/topic, 8/topic/peer, matching
  go-libp2p defaults), onPeerDisconnected, onTopicUnsubscribed
- PartialMessagesAdapter (internal interface) /
  PartialMessagesAdapterImpl<PeerState> — erases PeerState at the
  GossipRouter boundary via a single @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
  in the builder

Wiring:
- GossipRouterBuilder: partialMessagesHandler field; build-time error
  if PARTIAL_MESSAGES extension enabled without a handler
- GossipRouter: internal var partialMessages: PartialMessagesAdapter?

No routing changes in this step.
