NIP-05 specification local part allowed characters identifier grammar
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
According to the NIP-05 specification, the local part of a Nostr internet identifier (the portion before the @ symbol) is restricted to a specific set of characters, despite the broader definition of "internet identifiers" found in other standards [1][2]. The allowed characters for the local part are: - Lowercase letters: a-z [1][2] - Digits: 0-9 [1][2] - Hyphen: - [1][2] - Underscore: _ [1][2] - Period:. [1][2] While the specification references more liberal standards for internet identifiers, NIP-05 explicitly mandates that the local part must only use the characters a-z, 0-9, -, _, and. [1][2]. These characters are treated as case-insensitive [2]. Additionally, the identifier _@domain is recognized as a "root" identifier, which clients may choose to display simply as the domain name itself [1][2]. Implementation examples, such as those found in Rust libraries, enforce these constraints by validating that the local part contains only these characters and is not empty [3][4].

Reject invalid NIP-05 local parts.
NIP-05 permits only a-z, 0-9, -, _, and . in the local part. The current guard accepts values such as alice+tag@example.com and alice/path@example.com, then the use cases pass them to cache checks and NIP-05 resolution. Return null before those operations and add regression tests for these values.
