* UI: replace textual 'close' with X icon\n\n- AppInfoView (iOS): use xmark icon in nav bar to match Location Notes style.\n- LocationChannelsSheet: use xmark icon for close on iOS/macOS toolbars; add accessibility label.
* Location Notes: prefix usernames with @ and lighten #geohash\n\n- Show @ before usernames in notes list.\n- Split header into '@' and '#geohash' and color the geohash with secondary green for consistency.
* Header spacing: add breathing room between channel badge, notes button, and people count\n\n- Add trailing padding after #mesh/#geohash badge.\n- Add leading padding before notes button and people counter to improve readability.
* Header: nudge #mesh/#geohash badge right with leading padding
* Location Notes + Header polish\n\n- Header: add space in '@ #geohash' and use darker green for geohash.\n- Notes list: render '@name#abcd' with darker green for #abcd to match chat.\n- Header: move geochat bookmark icon after #geohash badge with consistent spacing.
* Location Notes: @name regular green, #abcd darker; nudge #hash\n\n- Render '@' and base name in regular green, suffix '#abcd' in darker green.\n- Add extra left padding before '#geohash' in notes header.\n- Increase leading padding for channel badge to push #mesh/#geohash further right.
* Fix notes icon color: subscribe/count at block-level geohash\n\n- Use block (precision 7) geohash for notes: when opening sheet, on channel changes, and when subscribing the counter.\n- Aligns with LocationNotesManager which publishes at street-level geohash, allowing the counter to detect notes and turn icon blue.
* Header spacing: move #mesh/#geohash closer to notes/bookmark\n\n- Reduce trailing padding on channel badge and leading padding on notes/bookmark to cluster them together.\n- Keeps larger gap before people count for readability.
* Notes: standardize on building-level (8 chars) for publish/read\n\n- Use .building geohash when opening notes, reacting to channel updates, and subscribing the counter.\n- Update comments to reflect building-level scope.
* Location Channels sheet: use black sheet background like other sheets\n\n- Add backgroundColor and apply to container and list.\n- Hide list default background with scrollContentBackground(.hidden).
* Notes icon: use green when notes exist (matches app green)
* Location Channels: boxed 'bookmarked' section; keep 'remove location access' outside box\n\n- Wrap bookmarked list in a rounded, subtle grey box within the list.\n- Ensure the 'remove location access' button is not inside the box and clears list row background.
* Notes counter UX: avoid grey flicker when closing sheet\n\n- Preserve last count during resubscribe to prevent brief 0 state.\n- Keep existing subscription when building geohash temporarily unavailable; only cancel if none or permission revoked.
* Notes counter: unsubscribe without clearing count on resubscribe\n\n- Avoid calling cancel() in subscribe; just unsubscribe old sub to prevent wiping count to 0.\n- Prevents green→grey flicker after closing sheet or location updates.
* Notes icon: use sheet count until counter finishes initial load; don’t zero on sheet close\n\n- Compute hasNotes using max(count, sheetCount) while initialLoadComplete is false.\n- Remove sheetNotesCount reset on sheet disappear to avoid transient grey.
* Location Notes header: remove extra gap before #geohash (drop leading padding)
* Notes sheet: color #abcd suffix as darker green via opacity (match chat)
* Notes sheet: show timestamp in brackets; drop #abcd from @name
* chore: commit remaining local changes
* Header: move notes + bookmark to left of #mesh/#geohash
* Header spacing: tighten gap between #mesh/#geohash and peer count

* SPM Test target + Github Action to build and test
Because the tests are XCTests `swift test` runs them first and then runs another batch of empty tests which results in "0 tests" at the end of the report - https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-package-manager/issues/8529#issuecomment-2815711345
* Fix dependency and library issues + handle mixed languages
`include` folder has to be next to the `*.c` file for it to work
* Location notes: Matrix loader with 1–3s minimum display; allow multiple notes; wire notes UI from mesh toolbar
* Location notes: prevent duplicate loading/subscriptions (StateObject manager, geohash captured at open, guard subscribe)
* Location notes: fix duplicate state redeclaration in ContentView
* Location notes: render note bodies with monospaced font in notes list
* Location notes: add close (x) button in sheet header (upper-right) using @Environment(\.dismiss)
* Location notes: acquire geohash on open (force refresh) and show Matrix loader until block-level geohash resolves; add LocationNotesSheet wrapper
* Location notes: inline sheet wrapper to avoid missing file in target; force location refresh and show Matrix loader until block geohash resolves
* Location notes: remove Matrix animation; use simple spinner when acquiring location; simplify notes view layout
* Location notes: remove per-note relative timestamp from sheet (no seconds display)
* Location notes: fix intermittent first load by ensuring resubscribe after geohash change, removing over-eager subscribe guard, and widening note fetch window (no since filter)
* Location notes: add background counter service and show count next to notes icon on mesh; auto-subscribe to current block geohash
* Location notes: move notes icon to the right of #mesh badge in toolbar
* Location notes: restore timestamps in notes list; remove loading state from manager and sheet (no spinner/animation)
* Location notes: drop 'teleport' tag from kind-1 events; simplify note builder API and usage
* Location notes: show timestamp as relative within 7 days, else absolute date (MMM d or MMM d, y); keep monospaced styling
* Location notes: append 'ago' to relative timestamps (within 7 days)
* Switch location notes and UI helpers to building-level geohash (precision 8): add GeohashChannelLevel.building, map length 8, use building for notes selection and counter, add building name mapping
* Location notes: change notes toolbar icon to SF Symbol 'long.text.page.and.pencil'
* Revert notes geohash selection back to block-level (precision 7); keep building level available but unused; update counter and sheet accordingly
* Location notes: show block name (from reverse geocode) in header instead of 'street-level notes'
* Nostr: add EOSE handling with callback support for subscriptions; wire to LocationNotesManager/Counter (initialLoadComplete). Remove 'building' level from channel enum and geocoder mapping; geohash list shows block/neighborhood/city/province/region only
* Fix Swift 6 isolation: hop to @MainActor inside Timer callback for EOSE tracker mutations
* Notes counter: show 0 by default; subscribe at building-level (precision 8) for notes and counter; keep building hidden in channel list
* Notes header: show building name when available (fallback to block name)
* Notes: subscribe counter to building + parent block (merge results); hide notes icon unless location is authorized; replace 10s timer with live location updates while sheet open
* Notes counter: subscribe only to building geohash (precision 8) so count reflects current 8-cell; auto-begin live location refresh on mesh (and permission) to update as you walk
* Notes header: show count in parentheses; icon shows blue if any notes, grey if none; only start live location updates while sheet is open; reduce nickname width; set live distance filter to 10m
* Notes header: show count as '(N note/notes)' with non-bold, secondary styling next to title
* Notes header: move count before title as '<N> note(s) @ #gh'; remove parentheses; keep count non-bold
* Notes header: bold count text; ensure sheet updates when building geohash changes by calling manager.setGeohash on geohash change
* Notes sheet: add light haptic feedback when building geohash changes (iOS only)
* Notes icon: force a one-shot location refresh before (re)subscribing the counter so icon turns blue immediately on current 8-cell
* Notes subscribe: fallback to default relays when GeoRelayDirectory has no entries (pass nil relayUrls) so counter/icon turn blue and sheet loads even before georelay fetch
* Notes icon: turn blue immediately when sheet shows notes by passing count up from sheet (closure) and OR-ing with counter; reset on sheet close

* Fix emote targeting and grammar; add tests
Prevent 'system' mis-target via peerID-derived display name in actions sheet. Correct /hug and /slap usage/error grammar by passing base command name. Improve geohash nickname resolution to match displayName with #suffix. Add CommandProcessor tests.
* Geohash ordering: strict in-order inserts and timestamp clamp
Use channel-aware late-insert threshold with 0s for geohash to keep strict chronological order. Clamp future Nostr event timestamps to 'now' to avoid future-dated items skewing order in geohash timelines.
* Trim trailing/leading spaces in geohash nicknames and tag emission
Sanitize Nostr 'n' tag values on ingest and emit by trimming whitespace/newlines to prevent trailing spaces in displayed usernames. Local nickname is already trimmed on focus loss and submit.

* Add geohash bookmarks: persistence, sampling integration, and UI\n\n- Add GeohashBookmarksStore with UserDefaults persistence and toggle API\n- Sample union of regional + bookmarked geohashes for activity notifications\n- LocationChannelsSheet: bookmark icons on nearby rows and a Bookmarked section\n- Header toolbar: toggle bookmark for current geohash\n- Tests: GeohashBookmarksStoreTests for normalization and persistence\n\nRationale: Bookmarked geohashes are always sampled for new activity notifications and quickly selectable from the sheet.
* Notifications: remove background 'new chats!' nudge; geohash activity only on zero→alive; mesh 'nearby' only on zero→alive\n\n- Geohash sampling: notify only when previous participant count in last 5m was zero, with 30s freshness gate\n- Suppress old sampled events after (re)subscribe\n- Remove channel inactivity nudge\n- Mesh: reset rising-edge gate immediately when peer list goes empty (strict zero→alive)
* Geohash notifications: ensure triggering message appears\n\n- On zero→alive sampling, pre-populate geoTimelines[gh] with the triggering message\n- Dedup on per-geohash timeline and UI messages by message ID to avoid duplicates after subscribe\n- Keeps participant update, block/self checks, and cooldown intact

- Use minimal-distance hue palette for mesh and geohash lists; align chat sender colors with list palette.
- Add foreground geo notifications for different channels; deep-link to bitchat://geohash/<gh>; per-geohash 60s cooldown; respect self/blocks.
- Global geohash sampling runs outside the sheet; delegate handles deeplinks and suppresses when already in-channel.
- Switch location channel sheet to continuous CoreLocation with 21m distance filter; add config knob.
- Only link geohash hashtags when standalone (no @name#abcd or word#abcd).
- Include mesh-reachable peers in mesh counts and in "bitchatters nearby" notification.
- Add TransportConfig knobs for palette and geo notifications.

* Sign public broadcasts; verify relayed messages via persisted signing keys; keep scheduled relays in sparse graphs and speed their jitter; persist announce signing key for offline auth; add short backoff after disconnect errors to reduce reconnect thrash
* Add connected vs reachable model: retain peers after link drop, expire after reachability window; expose all peers in snapshots; compute isReachable in UI; add meshReachable state and sorting; avoid removing peers on link events; notify UI on stale removals
* ContentView: handle new .meshReachable connection state in header icon switch (exhaustive switch fix)
* Logs: tag relayed announces as 'Reachable via mesh' and annotate public message logs with (direct|mesh) path for easier field analysis
* Fix syntax error: remove stray else/log inserted into writeOrEnqueue; keep logs clean
* UI: use 'point.3.connected.trianglepath.dotted' for mesh-reachable; change people count to include connected+reachable (exclude Nostr-only)
* UI: switch to 'point.3.filled.connected.trianglepath.dotted' for mesh-reachable icons in list and header
* Reachability: reduce retention to 21s for all peers (verified and unverified) to minimize stale presence
* mesh DMs/acks: route to reachable peers; queue READ/DELIVERED until handshake; add Transport.isPeerReachable; UI: hide offline non-mutuals; DM header: better name fallback + show transport + encryption icons; fix NostrTransport conformance
* Verification sheet: compute encryption status and fingerprint using short mesh ID mapping (fix 'not encrypted/handshake' for DMs with stable key)
* Announce cadence: faster discovery (4s), sparse 15±4s, dense 30±8s; initial 0.6s; post-subscribe 50ms; min-force 150ms; maintenance 5s; proactive announces on handshake + recent-traffic nudge
* Relay: increase broadcast TTL cap in sparse graphs to 6; tighten jitter for handshake (10–35ms) and directed (20–60ms) relays
* Range/robustness: store-and-forward for directed packets (15s) with flush on new links + periodic; announces: no subset + afterglow re-announce on first-seen; adaptive scanning: force ON when <=2 neighbors or recent traffic
* Fix warnings: remove unused msgID and unused mutable var in directed spool flush
* Announces: TTL 7 (sparse only) via RelayController; no fanout subset for announces; neighbor-change rebroadcast of last 2–3 announces. Fragments: faster pacing (5ms global, 4ms directed).
* Peer list: real-time icon updates by publishing snapshots on connectivity checks; add unread message indicator (envelope) next to peers with unread DMs
* UI: unread envelope uses orange; hasUnreadMessages checks Nostr conv key for peers with known Nostr pubkeys (geohash DM consistency)
* Logs/robustness: debounce disconnect notifications (1.5s), debounce 'reconnected' logs (2s), add weak-link cooldown after timeouts on very weak RSSI (<= -90)
* Peer icons: faster, accurate reachability\n\n- Run connectivity checks every maintenance tick (5s)\n- Publish peer snapshots on central unsubscribe for instant UI refresh\n- Lower inactivity timeout to 8s and disconnect debounce to 0.9s\n- Gate reachability on mesh-attached (>=1 direct link); no links => no reachable peers\n- Keep 21s retention for verified/unverified, but only when attached to mesh\n\nImproves list responsiveness when walking out of range and prevents stale 'reachable' states when isolated.

* Improve BLE mesh relay and flooding
Add last-hop suppression using ingress-link tracking to prevent echo. Implement deterministic always-relay for handshakes and directed encrypted/fragments; widen jitter for broadcasts; keep TTL cap only for broadcast. Add deterministic K-of-N broadcast fanout to reduce amplification in dense topologies. Introduce backpressure-aware writes using canSendWriteWithoutResponse with per-peripheral queues and draining on peripheralIsReady. Minor helpers for messageID, deterministic selection, and maintenance cleanup.
* Tests: stabilize FragmentationTests and InputValidatorTests
Make _test_handlePacket mark synthetic peers verified/connected with normalized senderID to avoid drops in public-message reassembly tests. Tighten validatePeerID to reject non-hex strings when length equals 16 or 64; allow internal IDs only for other lengths. All iOS simulator tests pass locally.
