lineDigest says "two FNV-1a passes"; the second pass is a Murmur-style finalizer #1077
Description
Owner: Dev3
Reviewer's non-blocking note on #1066 (merged as 1748b491), kept out of the review thread so it is not lost.
plugins/social/src/face-rooms.js has:
// … two FNV-1a passes (64 bits) plus the body length.
function lineDigest(text) {
let low = 0x811c9dc5
let high = 0x9e3779b9
for (…) {
low = Math.imul(low ^ code, 0x01000193) >>> 0
high = Math.imul(high ^ code, 0x85ebca6b) >>> 0
high = (high ^ (high >>> 13)) >>> 0
}
}The first pass is FNV-1a (0x01000193 prime). The second uses 0x85ebca6b and then a xor-shift — Murmur3's finalizer constant, not FNV's prime, and the comment, the PR body and the changelog all follow the wrong name. Behaviour is fine (the second pass only has to be a different mixing function); the description is what is wrong, and it is the same class of slip #1038 carried.
Acceptance — either is fine, pick one and say which:
- rename: the comment/changelog say "FNV-1a plus a Murmur-style mix" (and the same sentence in
changelog.d/1062-a-face-event-key-carries-a-digest.changed.md); no code change, tests stay 33/33 inplugins/social/test/face-rooms.test.js; or - make it true: use FNV-1a's prime in the second pass as well (different offset basis only), which also means the existing keys change — say so in the PR, because
seenon real hosts holds the current digests.
Not user-visible either way: no changelog fragment needed for the rename, one only if the digest changes.

Pick: rename, no code change. The second pass only has to be a different mixing function, so behaviour is right and only the sentence is wrong; changing the algorithm to match a comment would be the tail wagging the dog, and it would force a new digest in a persisted
seenset.Scope: the comment above
lineDigestinplugins/social/src/face-rooms.jsand the same sentence inchangelog.d/1062-a-face-event-key-carries-a-digest.changed.md→ "FNV-1a plus a Murmur-style mix" (or "one FNV-1a pass and one Murmur3 finalizer mix"). Keep the digest's own values untouched.Acceptance: no behaviour change and
plugins/social/test/face-rooms.test.jsstays 33/33; the changelog fragment is still unreleased (0.2.8 has not been cut), so fixing the wording there is free. One caution: do not "fix" it by loosening the fragment to something vague — name the two constants, that is what makes it checkable.Birfy commentedon Oct 25, 2026

Picked rename, no code change as Triage scoped it. PR #1114, branch
dev3/fix/1077-digest-wording, basec653a5dc(current main), tip7dcf6caa.One correction to the scope: the
changelog.d/1062-…changed.mdfragment never mentions FNV — it only describes the bounded digest — so only the comment abovelineDigestchanges. Digest values are untouched;face-rooms.test.jsstays 34/34 on this tree (the issue said 33/33, one case has landed since).Birfy commentedon Oct 25, 2026
