Multi-directory client for managing connections to multiple directory servers.
Provides a unified interface for connecting to multiple directory servers and aggregating orderbook data. Implements multi-directory aware nick tracking - a nick is only considered "gone" when ALL directories report it as disconnected.

MultiDirectoryClient
Wrapper for managing multiple DirectoryClient connections.
Provides a unified interface for connecting to multiple directory servers and aggregating orderbook data. Implements multi-directory aware nick tracking - a nick is only considered "gone" when ALL directories report it as disconnected.
Direct Peer Connections: When enabled (prefer_direct_connections=True), the client will establish direct Tor connections to makers when possible, bypassing directory servers for private messages. This improves privacy by preventing directories from observing who is communicating with whom.
Connection flow: 1. First message to a maker goes via directory relay 2. Opportunistically starts direct connection in background 3. Subsequent messages prefer direct connection if available 4. Falls back to directory relay if direct connection fails
This prevents premature maker removal when: - A maker temporarily disconnects from one directory but remains on others - Directory connections are flaky or experiencing network issues - There's a race condition between directory updates

fetch_orderbook(timeout: float = 120.0) -> list[Offer]
async
Fetch orderbook from all connected directory servers in parallel.
Trusts the directory's orderbook as authoritative - if a maker has an offer in the directory, they are considered online. This avoids incorrectly filtering offers as "stale" based on slow peerlist responses.
Args: timeout: Timeout in seconds (default: 120s). Note: The actual timeout is controlled by DirectoryClient.fetch_orderbooks() which uses 120s to capture ~95% of offers based on empirical testing over Tor. The 95th percentile response time is ~101s, so 120s provides a 20% safety buffer.

send_privmsg(recipient: str, command: str, data: str, log_routing: bool = False, force_channel: str | None = None) -> str
async
Send a private message, respecting channel consistency for CoinJoin sessions.
CRITICAL: Within a single CoinJoin session, all messages to a maker MUST use the same communication channel (either direct or a specific directory). Mixing channels causes the maker to reject messages as they appear to be from different sessions.
Message routing priority (when force_channel is None): 1. Direct peer connection (if connected and prefer_direct_connections=True) 2. Directory relay (fallback)
Args:
recipient: Target maker nick
command: Command name (without ! prefix)
data: Command arguments
log_routing: If True, log detailed routing information
force_channel: If set, only use this channel:
- "direct" = peer-to-peer onion connection
- "directory:
Returns:
Channel used: "direct" or "directory:

sync_nicks_with_peerlist(server: str, active_nicks: set[str]) -> None
Synchronize nick tracking with a directory's peerlist.
This is called after fetching a peerlist from a directory to update the nick tracking state. Nicks not in the peerlist are marked as gone from that directory.
Args: server: The server identifier reporting the peerlist active_nicks: Set of nicks currently active on this server

wait_for_response(from_nick: str, expected_command: str, timeout: float = 30.0) -> dict[str, Any] | None

wait_for_responses(expected_nicks: list[str], expected_command: str, timeout: float = 60.0, expected_counts: dict[str, int] | None = None) -> dict[str, dict[str, Any]]
async
Wait for responses from multiple makers at once.
Listens for responses from BOTH: - Directory server message streams (via client.listen_for_messages()) - Direct peer connections (via self._direct_message_queue)
Returns a dict of nick -> response data for all makers that responded. Responses can include: - Normal responses matching expected_command - Error responses marked with "error": True
Error handling: - Makers may send !error messages instead of the expected response - These indicate protocol failures (e.g., blacklisted PoDLE commitment) - Errors are returned in the response dict with {"error": True, "data": "reason"}
Deduplication: - When connected to multiple directory servers, the same response may arrive multiple times. ResponseDeduplicator tracks which responses we've seen and logs duplicates for debugging.
Special handling for !sig: - Makers send multiple !sig messages (one per UTXO) - We accumulate all messages in a list instead of keeping just the last one - Use expected_counts to specify how many signatures to expect per maker - Returns as soon as all expected signatures are received
Args: expected_nicks: List of maker nicks to expect responses from expected_command: Command to wait for (e.g., "!pubkey", "!sig") timeout: Maximum time to wait in seconds expected_counts: For !sig, dict of nick -> expected signature count
