* Pause Nostr geohash firehose in background to cut mobile data
The Bluetooth mesh uses no mobile data, but the Nostr relay layer ran
unbounded in the background: the live geohash channel subscription kept
streaming across 5 relays, the presence heartbeat broadcast every ~60s,
and a participant-refresh timer polled every 30s. Combined with
reconnect/re-subscribe replay on public relays, this could burn gigabytes
while idle.
GeohashViewModel now tears down the high-volume subscriptions when the app
is backgrounded (onStop) and restores them on foreground (onStart):
- drop the live channel message stream (currentGeohashSubId)
- drop sampling subscriptions
- cancel the presence heartbeat and participant-refresh timer
Gift-wrap DM subscriptions are intentionally kept alive in the background
since they are filtered to our pubkey (lightweight) so DMs still arrive.
The selected channel is tracked in activeChannelGeohash so the stream can
be rebuilt on foreground without losing the user's selection. The channel
subscription logic is extracted into subscribeChannelStream() /
subscribeChannelDM() helpers.

* Chore: Remove unused `lifecycle-livedata-ktx` dependency
This commit removes the `androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx` library from the project's dependencies.
The `[libraries]` and `[bundles]` sections in `gradle/libs.versions.toml` have been updated to reflect this removal, as the dependency is no longer in use.
* Refactor: Remove unused `runtime-livedata` dependency
* Refactor: Migrate `LocationChannelManager` and `GeohashBookmarksStore` to StateFlow
This commit refactors `LocationChannelManager` and `GeohashBookmarksStore` to use `StateFlow` instead of `LiveData` for managing and exposing their state. This change aligns with modern Android development practices and improves testability.
**Key Changes:**
- **`LocationChannelManager`**:
- All `MutableLiveData` properties (`permissionState`, `availableChannels`, `selectedChannel`, etc.) have been replaced with `MutableStateFlow`.
- Consumers now access these properties as `StateFlow`.
- State updates have been changed from `postValue()` to direct `.value` assignments, simplifying thread management within the manager which already uses a dedicated coroutine scope.
- **`GeohashBookmarksStore`**:
- `bookmarks` and `bookmarkNames` are now exposed as `StateFlow` instead of `LiveData`.
- State updates similarly use `.value` assignment.
- **Nullability**:
- The non-nullable nature of `StateFlow`'s value reduces the need for null-checks in both the manager classes and their consumers, leading to safer code.
* Refactor: Migrate from LiveData to StateFlow for Nostr components
This commit replaces `LiveData` with `StateFlow` across core Nostr-related classes to align with modern Android architecture and improve state management. This change affects `NostrClient`, `NostrRelayManager`, `LocationNotesManager`, and `GeohashRepository`.
**Key Changes:**
- **`NostrClient`**:
- `isInitialized` and `currentNpub` are now `StateFlow` instead of `LiveData`.
- `relayConnectionStatus` and `relayInfo` now return `StateFlow` from `NostrRelayManager`.
- **`NostrRelayManager`**:
- Public properties `relays` and `isConnected` are migrated from `MutableLiveData` to `MutableStateFlow`.
- Updates are now pushed using `.value` instead of `.postValue()`.
- **`LocationNotesManager`**:
- All public `LiveData` properties (`notes`, `geohash`, `initialLoadComplete`, `state`, `errorMessage`) are converted to `StateFlow`.
- The class documentation is updated to reflect the use of `StateFlow`.
- **`GeohashRepository`**:
- Methods `updateGeohashPeople` and `updateReactiveParticipantCounts` now call `set...` methods on the `state` object instead of `post...`, reflecting the removal of `LiveData` from the underlying state management.
* Refactor: Migrate ChatState from LiveData to StateFlow
This commit refactors the `ChatState`, `ChatViewModel`, and `GeohashViewModel` to use `StateFlow` instead of `LiveData` for managing and exposing UI state. This migration improves state management by leveraging modern coroutine-based flows.
**Key Changes:**
- **`ChatState.kt`**:
- Replaced all `MutableLiveData` instances with `MutableStateFlow`.
- Exposed state properties as `StateFlow` instead of `LiveData`.
- Removed `MediatorLiveData` for computed properties (`hasUnreadChannels`, `hasUnreadPrivateMessages`) and replaced them with `Flow.combine` to create derivative `StateFlows`.
- Simplified non-nullable `getters` to directly return the `.value` of the `StateFlows`.
- Removed `postValue` helpers that are no longer necessary.
- **`ChatViewModel.kt`**:
- Updated all state properties to be `StateFlow`, reflecting the changes in `ChatState`.
- **`GeohashViewModel.kt`**:
- Changed state properties (`geohashPeople`, `geohashParticipantCounts`, etc.) from `LiveData` to `StateFlow`.
- Replaced `observeForever` on `LiveData` from `LocationChannelManager` with `viewModelScope.launch` blocks that `.collect()` from the underlying flows.
* Refactor: Migrate UI from LiveData to StateFlow
This commit replaces `LiveData.observeAsState()` with `StateFlow.collectAsState()` across various UI components. This change aligns the codebase with modern Android development practices, using Kotlin Flows for reactive UI state management.
No functional changes are intended. The primary goal is to remove the dependency on `androidx.lifecycle.livedata` from the composable functions.
**Affected Components:**
- `ChatScreen`
- `SidebarComponents`
- `ChatHeader`
- `LocationChannelsSheet`
- `LocationNotesSheet`
- `LocationNotesButton`
- `GeohashPeopleList`
- `LocationNotesSheetPresenter`
* Refactor: Use `collectAsStateWithLifecycle` for UI state collection
* Refactor: move CloseButton to core/ui/component
* Refactor: remove AI generated comments
* Refactor: fix combine to map and use WhileSubscribed
* Refactor: Pass CoroutineScope to ChatState
This commit refactors the `ChatState` class to accept a `CoroutineScope` in its constructor instead of creating its own.
**Key Changes:**
- **`ChatState.kt`**: The constructor now requires a `CoroutineScope`. This scope is used for the `stateIn` operators that convert `Flows` into `StateFlows` (`hasUnreadChannels`, `hasUnreadPrivateMessages`), ensuring they operate within the lifecycle of the provided scope.
- **`ChatViewModel.kt`**: The `viewModelScope` is now passed to the `ChatState` constructor during its instantiation. This ties the lifecycle of the state's coroutines directly to the `ViewModel`'s lifecycle.
* Test: Use `TestScope` for coroutines in `CommandProcessorTest`
This commit refactors `CommandProcessorTest` to use a `TestScope` and `UnconfinedTestDispatcher` for managing coroutines.
This ensures that coroutine-based operations within the test are executed in a controlled and predictable manner, improving test reliability. The `coroutineScope` for `CommandProcessor` and the `scope` for `ChatState` are now both configured to use this test-specific scope.

* chore(debug-branch): remove unrelated files that were mistakenly added in first commit; keep only intended debug settings changes
* fix(chat): prevent mesh→geohash leak
Root cause:
- DebugSettingsManager→chat bridge appended system logs to the global timeline regardless of active channel
- MeshDelegateHandler added public mesh messages to UI unconditionally
Fixes:
- Only inject debug system messages when selected location channel is Mesh
- Only add public mesh messages to UI when Mesh is selected (still send notifications)
Build: ./gradlew assembleDebug
}
* fix(timeline): restore message persistence across channel switches
Root cause:
- NostrGeohashService.switchLocationChannel() called messageManager.clearMessages()
which wiped ALL messages (mesh + debug + geohash) from main timeline
- Geohash events were adding to main timeline, causing cross-contamination
Fixes:
- Remove messageManager.clearMessages() from channel switching
- ChatScreen displayMessages now routes to separate storage:
- Mesh: messages (main timeline, includes debug logs when Mesh selected)
- Geohash: viewModel.getGeohashMessages(geohash) from separate history
- Private: privateChats[peerID]
- Channels: channelMessages[channel]
- Geohash events no longer add to main timeline, only to geohash history
- Mesh messages always stored to preserve history when switching away
Result: Each chat type has persistent separate storage, no message loss
* Debug/relay logs: use MessageType names; include device route in verbose packet logs.
* Verbose device-peer assignment and connection/disconnection logs with peerId, deviceId, nickname; packet relay log uses MessageType names.}
* Debug logs API: include nickname and deviceId for incoming/relay; update callers.}
