Only the first peer to send us a version of an announcement was recorded as its relayer, as the `FIXME` in `handle_announcement` notes. Inventory announcements are relayed with a delay, so peers that sent the same version in the meantime were sent it back, which kept `announcement_message_amplification` close to the worst case. Node and refs announcements are relayed as soon as they arrive, so this does not affect them. The gossip store does not report which row a duplicate belongs to, so key the relayers by announcer, type and repository instead, together with the version they relayed. Having `Store::announced` report the row of a duplicate would also work, but would change what its result means for its other callers. As before, entries are never pruned, but there is now at most one entry per announcer, type and repository, rather than one per row ever created. With this, 1000 runs of `announcement_message_amplification` measured between 2.525 and 2.975, with a mean of 2.72, down from a mean of 3.98, against a best case of 2.5 for five fully connected nodes. Require it to stay below 3.25, which leaves room for the variation between runs.

Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack
Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful
peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a
full implementation of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line
interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).
Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.
See the Radicle home page for general information, and the Zulip chat to talk to the project.
See the Protocol Guide for an in-depth description of how Radicle works.

Running
Systemd unit files are provided for the node under the /systemd folder.
They can be used as a starting point for further customization.
For running in debug mode, see HACKING.md.
