jackandClaude Opus 5 dc7475a0ba Harden what a locked or seized device gives away
The realistic compromise for many of the people this app is built for is
not interception but a phone taken, and often unlocked under coercion.
Content encryption is in good shape; these are the gaps around it.

Hide notification previews, by default. Notification content is rendered
by the system on the lock screen, so it was readable without unlocking:
DM alerts carried the sender's nickname and the full message body, and
geohash alerts put the geohash in the title. Alerts now state that a DM,
mention, or location-channel activity arrived and withhold the rest until
the app is opened. userInfo still carries the routing peer ID and deep
link, neither of which the system displays, so taps land where they did.
A settings toggle restores full previews for anyone who wants them.
Default-on is the deliberate part: a phone face-up on a table should not
narrate conversations, and someone who wants previews can say so.

Cover the window on willResignActive, so the snapshot iOS stores for the
app switcher shows a placeholder rather than an open conversation. Opaque
rather than blurred, because blurred large text stays partly legible and
the snapshot goes to disk. Added synchronously from a UIKit notification
with queue: nil, since the capture follows shortly after and an
OperationQueue hop or a SwiftUI state change can lose that race. Panic
wipe already deleted snapshots already on disk; this stops new ones from
being worth deleting.

Bound media by age as well as size. The 100 MB quota only ever considered
incoming files, so outgoing media had no lifetime at all and a received
photo could outlive its conversation indefinitely. A launch-time sweep now
deletes managed media older than seven days, incoming and outgoing, with
the same exemptions quota eviction honors: in-flight live captures and
files reserved by a delivery or deletion in progress.

Make /clear tell the truth on the mesh timeline. It recorded an echo
watermark and left the gossip archive on disk for up to 6 hours, so
someone who cleared before a police stop had deleted nothing. Clearing now
erases the archive too. The watermark still matters: it suppresses
pre-clear messages this device hears again from peers. The cost is that
the device stops serving recent public backlog until it hears fresh
traffic, which is a fair reading of what clearing a timeline means.

Documented in PRIVACY_POLICY.md and the privacy assessment, including a
new section on what is deliberately NOT addressed: there is still no
duress mechanism of any kind (no decoy passphrase, no wipe-on-failed-auth,
no app lock), macOS gets no file-protection classes, and media is not
sealed at the app layer. The duress question is a product decision as much
as an engineering one, since in some jurisdictions destroying data on
demand is itself an offence and hiding may protect someone better than
destroying, so it is called out rather than guessed at.

Three findings from the audit that prompted this work turned out to be
already fixed on main and are not included: keychain accessibility is
AfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly with a retrying migration, the panic media
wipe uses a two-location durable marker transaction, and panic already
discards staged share-extension content.

jackandGitHub 934b2cd2d3 Harden iOS-sim CI: destination fallback + Noise reconnect test determinism (#1483)
Two CI-robustness fixes for the iOS-simulator job seen on main:

1. The destination picker no longer dies on runner images with placeholder/unavailable simulator lists (macos-26-arm64 20260720.0258): it filters error/unavailable rows, falls back to xcrun simctl's available-device list, and as a last resort creates a simulator from the newest installed iOS runtime's own supported iPhone device types. Each path logs which route was taken.

2. Deflakes NoiseEncryptionServiceTests' quarantine-restore test: the injected 20ms responder timeout also armed during the SETUP handshake, so a loaded runner tore down the half-open responder session before the scenario began (production quarantine/restore verified correct — the failure signature was a fresh msg2 to a session-less peer). Timeout raised to 1s and the fixed 100ms sleep replaced with a bounded waitUntil on the restore condition. No assertion weakened; 10/10 sequential + 3/3 under full-core CPU load.

jackandGitHub a1711bd399 Retry unacknowledged DMs after Noise replacement (#1462)
DMs sent through an established Noise session are retained in the durable MessageRouter outbox until an authenticated delivery/read ack, and retried under the same message ID when the peer's replacement handshake authenticates — fixing DMs silently lost into stale local sessions after a remote app restart. Mesh ack handling is peer-scoped end-to-end (alias-scoped delivery status, peer-bound markDelivered, PeerMessageKey retry state), so a colliding message ID from another conversation can no longer clear or promote foreign state; bridge-drop dedup keys are recipient-scoped with hashed persistence.

Includes review fix: acks arriving after a relaunch (durable outbox restored, conversation not) now clear the peer-scoped router entry unconditionally — only the UI status transition is gated on conversation presence — so a delivered message can no longer re-send to the attempt cap and be marked failed despite delivery. Regression test simulates the relaunch through real store persistence; the dead allowedPeerIDs parameter (unscoped-tombstone trap) is removed.

jackandGitHub a4d294015a Keep DMs canonical across transport aliases (#1461)
Joins the two authenticated aliases of one account — the full noise-key conversation ID used by the Nostr path and its derived 16-hex mesh short ID — into one canonical conversation, migrating messages and handing off an open DM sheet (short ID while connected, stable ID offline). Delivery/read-ack outbox removal is scoped to the authenticated peer's aliases with per-peer tombstones, so a colliding message ID queued for a different peer survives, including across protected-data cold-load recovery. Geohash DMs never enter the alias path (their conversation keys carry no noise key).
2026-07-26 15:03:58 +02:00
jackandGitHub 660632ef6b Keep open DMs alive across Bluetooth settings (#1460)
Presenting the root Bluetooth alert while the people/DM sheet was up forced SwiftUI to dismiss the sheet, whose binding setter called endConversation() — destroying the open DM. The root alert is now gated behind a modal-presentation guard (scene active, no competing modal), a second copy presents from inside the sheet, and the sheet-dismissal setter only ends the conversation when the dismissal is genuinely explicit.

Includes review fix: the voice-recording error alert (mic permission denied inside an open DM) destroyed the DM through the exact same path — it now participates in the same guard and gating pattern at both root and sheet level.
2026-07-26 14:50:03 +02:00
jackandGitHub c72bb4ca2e Make private-media deletion transactional (#1468)
Receiver-side private-media deletion (per-bubble delete and /clear) becomes a write-ahead transaction: a deletion journal in BLEPrivateMediaReceiptStore is the atomic commit point, materialization (tombstones + payload unlinks) is idempotent and retried on recovery, path reservations in BLEIncomingFileStore prevent delete racing an in-flight arrival, and overlapping /clear operations are serialized with panic-generation invalidation. Integrates with the receipt quarantine (a pending journal entry outranks quarantine; materialization never resurrects a quarantined ID).

Review fixes included: (1) /clear no longer deletes outgoing media mirrored into another conversation (alias protection now mirrors the incoming path, with a regression test that fails pre-fix); (2) explicit delete of legacy incoming media actually unlinks the decrypted payload when unreferenced — gated on pending-delivery/reservation state, restoring main's delete semantics safely instead of leaving plaintext for quota cleanup; (3) refused deletions surface a localized system message in the affected chat instead of failing silently (30-locale key). Full local suite 1876 green.

jackandGitHub d6bd4f0681 Retry confirmed private media after reconnect (#1467)
Sender-side retry of private media whose local BLE fragment completion never received a remote delivery receipt: the encrypted file packet is retained in memory (bounded: 8 packets / 4MB / 120s / 2 retries per message / 2 per reconnect) and re-sent on peer reconnect or re-authentication, gated at four boundaries on capability bit 9 plus the exact Noise session generation, so legacy or bit-8-only peers can never receive a retry and the receiver's stable-ID ledger dedups anything re-sent. Remote delivery/read receipts release retention; limits and expiry end in a visible failed status.

Includes review fix: a dropped policy-resolution callback can no longer wedge retries for a peer — the pending resolution is cleared on peer disconnect (with a regression test proving recovery).
2026-07-26 14:15:12 +02:00
jackandGitHub fb451bc6d0 Persist authenticated private-media delivery receipts (#1466)
Adds a durable receiver-side ledger (BLEPrivateMediaReceiptStore) mapping a deterministic private-media message ID — hash-bound to sender, recipient, and entropy-bearing filename — to the stored file before UI delivery and before the Noise-encrypted delivery ACK, so sender retries and relaunches cannot create duplicate bubbles or files. Receipts are unforgeable without the Noise session; capability bit 9 rides the existing announce bitfield (no wire-format change; rolling upgrade safe both directions).

Includes review fixes: corrupt receipt records are quarantined per-record (bytes preserved at <id>.json.corrupt, only that ID fail-closed — previously one bad record silently disabled ALL inbound private media forever); the panic reset now reaches BLEService's own store instance via completePanicReset with a production-wiring test; and both content.delivery.reason.* strings ship with full 30-locale coverage.

jackandGitHub a9ceddab21 Deliver live DM transport events synchronously (#1465)
Removes the nested-Task deferral when typed transport events reach ChatViewModel: didReceiveTransportEvent now dispatches to @MainActor *Synchronously coordinator methods inline within the single notifyUI main-actor hop, fixing a real ordering race where a delivery-status update emitted right after a message could apply before the message existed in the ConversationStore and be dropped. Adds SynchronousMessageTransportEventDelegate so BLEService.deliverTransportEvent returns a documented accepted/unconfirmed verdict for .messageReceived (consumed by the private-media receipt layer above). Intra-main-actor only — no cross-queue sync added; the bleQueue-never-blocks-on-main invariant is preserved.

jackandGitHub e3e97d51ec Preserve early Noise ciphertext across reconnect promotion (#1464)
Companion to #1463 (they were built as a unit): adds a bounded deferral buffer (4/peer, 32 global, byte-budgeted, responder-timeout lifetime) for ciphertext that arrives before XX message 3 or before BLE installs generation-bound transport state, retried exactly once after the serialized authentication/restore callback. Reclassifies malformed/forged/replayed/oversized/rate-limited ciphertext as drop-only, so attacker bytes can no longer evict an established session (on main, a 1-byte forgery evicts the session via the old clearSession + re-handshake path). Serializes Noise packet reception as messageQueue barriers.

Honors #1463's timeout-restore deferral through the same-generation ready path (verified by negative test: without the gate, parked DMs drain under discarded keys). Full local suite 1789 tests green.
2026-07-26 13:30:06 +02:00
jackandGitHub 78a81e5b57 Make ordinary Noise reconnects atomic and race-safe (#1463)
Replaces destroy-then-rebuild Noise re-handshakes with an atomic reconnect protocol: prepared XX message-1 handoff tokens (claim-once, invalidated by crossed inbound initiations), receive-only quarantine of the established transport while an inbound replacement proves identity (promote on success, rollback+cooldown on failure/timeout), deterministic lower-peerID-wins crossed-initiator resolution, and a per-link-epoch BLE revalidation policy that re-proves cached sessions inside the same bleQueue critical section as the link rebind. On main, a fresh msg1 simply destroys an established session and rekey spans two non-atomic barriers.

Includes the review fix: timeout-restores defer outbound queue draining until the convergence retry completes (restore reason plumbed end-to-end), so DMs are never drained under keys a restarted peer already discarded — with a deterministic interleaving test. Identity-mismatch restores drain immediately. Full local suite 1768 tests green.

jackandGitHub e9275cb3d8 Relabel private Nostr envelopes honestly in docs; harden legacy envelope validation (#1480)
Split-out safe half of #1437 (the kind-1402 wire migration stays held for Android coordination). Docs (README/WHITEPAPER/PRIVACY_POLICY/privacy-assessment) now describe the actual proprietary DM construction — kind 1059 gift wrap carrying XChaCha20-Poly1305 with a 24-byte nonce, base64url v2: framing, and an HKDF that borrows the nip44-v2 info label but is not the NIP-44 key schedule — instead of claiming NIP-17/44/59.

Hardens the existing legacy inbound path: 64 KiB ciphertext cap before decode (~46x the largest producible legacy envelope), outer kind/recipient-tag/signature binding, tagless kind-13 seal binding, unsigned kind-14 inner binding, inner tags restricted to the two shapes deployed clients emit (verified against every historical iOS release and a fixture frozen from Android production), SecRandomCopyBytes failure now throws, non-UTF-8 plaintext now throws instead of returning empty. Adds frozen cross-platform fixtures with hash-pinned generators; interop-reviewed with no rejection surface for deployed clients.

jackandGitHub 55f824a11f Make nearby notes tests parallel-safe (#1471)
Injects the location-notes enabled getter and settings-change publisher into NearbyNotesCounter (defaults reproduce the prior wiring exactly), so tests no longer mutate the persistent UserDefaults key shared across parallel test worker processes. No production behavior change.

Un-stacked from the Codex chain (both files were byte-identical between main and the parent branch) and rebased onto the post-#1479 deflaked test suite.
2026-07-26 12:29:12 +02:00
jackandGitHub 2d96fd99a1 Encrypt private media before BLE fragmentation (#1434)
Closes the last cleartext private-content path over BLE: private DM images/voice were sent as plaintext signed fileTransfer packets, TTL-relayed across the mesh, so every relay saw the full bytes. Now the complete BitchatFilePacket is encrypted as a single Noise AEAD message (inner type 0x20, matching Android) and the opaque ciphertext is fragmented. Adds an authenticated in-session capability proof (0x21 TLV: capabilities + Ed25519 key), TOFU-style downgrade pinning, a per-send consent dialog for the signed-cleartext fallback to legacy peers, and a cancellation/admission registry so cancel/delete cannot race a deferred cleartext send.

Android wire constants (0x20 / 0x21 / capability bit 8) confirmed shipping. The 256-fragment preflight cap applies only to the directed fileTransfer migration fallback; encrypted media to capable peers uses the full receiver ceiling.

Rebased over #1428/#1349: identity reads go through BLELocalIdentityStateStore; the session-bound authenticated signing-key check and the announce-path TOFU pin are kept as complementary checks. Full local suite green (1744+197 tests).
2026-07-26 12:17:22 +02:00
jackandGitHub 10886428ca Deflake GeoRelayDirectoryTests under constrained runners (#1479)
Raises the file-local waitUntil default from 1s to 10s (returns early on success, so zero cost on healthy runs) and fixes a latent race in the observers test: it waited on the fetch-probe request count, which increments before handleFetchSuccess settles isFetching/lastFetchAt on the MainActor, so the next trigger notification posted into that gap was silently swallowed by the guard. Now waits on the .geoRelayDirectoryDidRefresh notification posted at the end of the synchronous success handler. Negative checks assert against captured baselines. No assertion weakened; 15/15 x 9 local runs including under 2x-ncpu CPU load.
2026-07-26 12:14:20 +02:00
jackandGitHub bcb21f2116 Require review before importing shared content (#1430)
Replaces the share-extension handoff that auto-sent shared text/URLs into the current channel with a validated, single-slot 24h envelope that shows the destination and a bounded preview and requires an explicit tap to copy into the composer — it never sends. Rejects malformed/oversized/control-character/non-HTTP(S)/expired payloads (including bidi-override U+202E), and clears on consume/cancel/expiry/panic.

Rebased onto main with Persian strings added for all new keys (30-locale coverage verified), plus a panic-recovery clear so an envelope staged during an interrupted wipe cannot survive relaunch.
2026-07-26 11:40:17 +02:00
jackandGitHub b96a41054e Pin announce signing keys to stop mesh identity spoofing (#1349)
TOFU-pins the Ed25519 signing key per noise key so a self-consistent announce that reuses a victim's peerID+noise key with the attacker's signing key/nickname is rejected instead of overwriting the registry and persisted identity. Complements #1432: that PR's signed-LEAVE verification reads the stored signing key this PR protects from announce-path poisoning.

Rebased onto main as a single commit; swift build --build-tests green, 40/40 targeted tests incl. the spoofing e2e cases, and #1432's suites 50/50 unaffected.
2026-07-26 11:38:24 +02:00
jackandGitHub d326cecb63 Fix BLE identity state races (#1428)
Converts BLEAnnounceThrottle to a lock-backed class and moves myPeerID/myPeerIDData/myNickname into a lock-backed BLELocalIdentityStateStore snapshot, so announces can never observe a split peer-ID/wire-ID during panic rotation. Serializes sendAnnounce onto the messageQueue barrier and moves the panic-reset pendingNoiseSessionQueues clear onto collectionsQueue (the queue every other mutation site uses).

Rebased onto main after #1431/#1432; integrates with #1431's panic-suspend structure (guard retained in both the outer sendAnnounce and the deferred worker).
2026-07-26 11:38:16 +02:00
jackandGitHub b59ad97dd6 perf: verify Nostr inbound signatures once, off the main actor (#1352)
Moves inbound Nostr Schnorr verification and NIP-17 gift-wrap decryption off the main actor into per-relay bounded AsyncStream pipelines (parallel across relays, ordered per relay), dedups before crypto, and removes the redundant second re-verify in NostrInboundPipeline/GeoPresenceTracker. Adds a panic-wipe generation counter so in-flight decrypts are discarded after a wipe.

Rebased onto main; #1451's 256 KiB pre-parse byte cap and tag limits are preserved and still enforced before any crypto/allocation.
2026-07-26 11:27:57 +02:00
jackandGitHub 58ccb30575 Route GeoRelay updates through reviewed data (#1436)
Replaces the scheduled workflow that pushed upstream georelay CSV directly to main unreviewed with a validator-backed automation that resolves an immutable upstream commit, validates against the reviewed baseline, and opens a non-auto-merged PR (or tracking issue) instead of writing to main. Adds a mirrored strict client-side validator in GeoRelayDirectory (all-or-nothing, size/row/host/coord caps, streamed 512KiB cap, >=50% baseline overlap) that fails safe to last-known-good, and retargets runtime refresh to bitchat's reviewed copy.
2026-07-26 10:55:07 +02:00
jackandGitHub 400ac4c904 Avoid conversation index rebuilds at retention cap (#1435)
Replaces ConversationStore's message-ID->physical-index map with logical indexes plus a head indexOffset, so cap-eviction advances the offset instead of rebuilding the whole dictionary on every steady-state append (~23.7x measured ingest throughput at cap). Adds a steady-state benchmark floor and a 1,200-op differential stress test against an O(n) reference model.
2026-07-26 10:52:28 +02:00
jackandGitHub 565d2b7773 Make developer cleanup artifact-only (#1433)
Rewrites just clean/nuke to remove only ignored build artifacts (.DerivedData/.build), never git-checkout or rm tracked project files (previously could destroy uncommitted work). Adds a CI guard (check-just-clean-safety.sh) against reintroducing source-mutating cleanup, plus README/Local.xcconfig modernization.
2026-07-26 10:50:25 +02:00
jackandGitHub 6b71ad2a64 Run iOS simulator tests in CI and repair coverage reporting (#1429)
Adds an ios-tests CI job that runs the UIKit/CoreBluetooth-conditional suite on the first available iPhone simulator (serial), and fixes the coverage-summary step ordering so the profile isn't invalidated by the serial benchmark rebuild.
2026-07-26 10:50:09 +02:00
jackandGitHub 16324c819f Bind Noise sessions to claimed peer identities; require signed leaves (#1432)
Adds remote-static-key->peerID binding at Noise handshake completion (closes a mesh impersonation/MITM hole where a peer could complete a handshake under another peer's ID). Also hardens LEAVE handling to require a verified signature and suppresses relay of unverifiable leaves.

* Add Persian (fa) localization and an in-app language picker

Persian was the one notable gap in the 29-language catalog. Translate all
381 strings (plus the share extension) with proper plural substitutions,
and register fa in knownRegions.

Settings gains a LANGUAGE section: a picker over every language the bundle
ships (native names via Locale), backed by an AppleLanguages override so
users can run bitchat in a language different from the device's. Localization
resolves at process start, so the picker surfaces a restart note.

* fix: use country-level resolution for low-precision geohashes (#887)

* fix: skip admin fallback when country exists but is duplicate

Prevents mixed labels like "United Kingdom and Scotland" for

no country is available from the placemark.

* fix: migrate stale low-precision bookmark names so country-first logic applies

Users who bookmarked a <=2-char geohash before the country-first resolver
kept the old administrativeArea cache (e.g. "England" for `gc`) because
resolveBookmarkNameIfNeeded bails when bookmarkNames[gh] is non-nil. Add a
one-shot, versioned migration that drops cached names for <=2-char geohashes
on load; the next LocationChannelsSheet .onAppear re-resolves them via the
fixed logic. Higher-precision entries are untouched.

b205a55523 Consolidate duplicate BLE links after restore; duplicate fragment-stream suppression; onChange coalescing (#1426)
* Consolidate duplicate BLE links after restore; suppress duplicate fragment streams; onChange coalescing

Field evidence (two-phone test after BLE state-restoration relaunches):
both phones held 2-3 simultaneous same-role connections to each other —
one side received every packet from three distinct centrals all bound to
the same peer — so every PTT voice frame arrived 3x, and a 41KB voice
file went out as TWO complete independent 89-fragment streams (different
assembly ids), both fully reassembled and the duplicate only dropped at
the very end by messageID dedup. 2-3x airtime/battery on all traffic
plus doubled reassembly memory.

Root causes and fixes:

- Duplicate links stayed unbound forever: announces (the only packet
  that binds a link to a peer) went through the per-peer duplicate-link
  collapse, so a peer's second/third link never received the announce it
  needed to become bound — and unbound links pass the collapse untouched,
  so every broadcast sprayed down all of them. Direct announces now
  bypass the collapse and reach every live link (relayed announces keep
  it); once bound, the existing collapse dedups all traffic.

- Same-role link retirement: a verified direct announce now consolidates
  our central-role connections to that peer — keep the link the announce
  arrived on (or the most recently bound one), cancel other connected
  links bound to the same peer. One connection per role per peer is the
  normal dual-role topology; only same-role duplicates are touched, only
  links already announce-bound are retired (never pre-announce links),
  at most one retirement per peer per rebind-cooldown window, and the
  peer keeps a live link either way. Directness stays forgeable (TTL is
  unsigned), so a replay could nominate the survivor — bounded by the
  cooldown and by DM routing's existing canDeliverSecurely gate. A
  rotation rebind now also cancels other stale links still bound to the
  rotated-away ID, so the ghost identity retires promptly.

- Deterministic preferred-link collapse: when several bound links to one
  peer are candidates, collapse now keeps the peer's most recently bound
  link (the reverse-mapped one) instead of dictionary order; links
  without a discovered characteristic are excluded from fanout (they
  cannot be written to, and could silently eat a peer's collapsed copy).
  links(to:) now reports all bound peripheral links, and removing one
  duplicate no longer clobbers the reverse map of the survivor.

- Duplicate fragment streams: a transferId-less resend (gossip-sync
  replay, spool) of file content already being fragmented out to a
  covering audience is dropped at the outbound scheduler (broadcast
  covers everyone; directed covers its recipient). App-initiated sends
  carry an explicit transferId the progress UI tracks and always run.
  A peer that asks after the stream completes still gets a resend.

- didUnsubscribeFrom no longer flaps a peer that is still live on other
  links (the far side retiring its duplicate arrives as an unsubscribe);
  didDisconnectPeripheral bookkeeping is skipped for self-retired links
  by removing the store entry before cancelling.

Also: guard the DeliveryStatus onChange state write in TextMessageView/
MediaMessageView (unconditional per-row writes under a message storm
tripped SwiftUI's "tried to update multiple times per frame" warning).

The restore-path bgRemaining=∞ log was already fixed on main (#1425

* Review fixes: multi-link disconnect guard, characteristic-aware retirement

Adversarial review of the duplicate-link PR (merge-with-nits):

- didDisconnectPeripheral gets the same multi-link guard as the
  unsubscribe path: when a duplicate link drops naturally while the peer
  stays live on another (dual-role central link, or a second bound link
  during the post-restore consolidation window), peer-disconnect
  bookkeeping (markDisconnected + disconnect notify) no longer runs — a
  UI blip until the next announce re-marked the peer connected. The
  reverse map was just repaired onto a connected survivor, so
  directLinkState is the accurate probe. Scan restart and connect-slot
  refill stay unguarded: they respond to the physical drop regardless of
  remaining logical links. (No unit test: driving the CBCentralManager
  delegate requires CBPeripheral instances, which cannot be constructed
  in tests; the policy pieces backing the guard are covered.)

- Retirement is now characteristic-aware: the policy snapshot carries
  characteristic presence, and keptPeripheralUUID selects anchors only
  among writable links while any exist — consolidation must not keep a
  link mid-service-rediscovery (didModifyServices cleared its
  characteristic) and cancel the writable duplicate, stranding outbound
  traffic on the central link until rediscovery finishes. When neither
  anchor is writable but a writable duplicate exists, consolidation
  defers to a later announce instead of guessing. The reverse-map
  survivor repair in removePeripheral prefers writable links for the
  same reason. Three new policy tests cover charless-vs-writable.

Deferred with code comments per review: central-side collapse keeps the
oldest subscription (no recency signal; remote consolidates within its
cooldown), and the extra preferred-bindings bleQueue hop in
sendOnAllLinks (fold into a combined snapshot if profiling flags it).

f8ab0a7dc0 Fix restore-path main↔bleQueue deadlock and courier drop amplification (#1425)
* Fix restore-path main↔bleQueue deadlock and courier drop amplification

A device froze permanently in a two-phone test. Debugger stacks showed an
ABBA deadlock: the main actor was in bleQueue.sync (delivery-ack send →
broadcastPacket → readLinkState) while bleQueue was in main.sync
(captureBluetoothStatus reading backgroundTimeRemaining). The load that
lined the two edges up came from a courier-drop amplification storm:
drop dedup was in-memory only while the outbox driving 120s re-deposits
is persisted, so every relaunch republished the same undelivered DM as a
fresh 24h relay drop and every gateway relaunch re-fetched the whole
backlog — ~20 copies of one DM delivered in 40ms, each triggering
decrypt + delivery + ack + handshake work.

Fixes, in rank order:
- Edge B (P0): captureBluetoothStatus no longer main.syncs from bleQueue;
  backgroundTimeRemaining is sampled on main and cached behind a lock.
  Invariant documented: bleQueue must NEVER sync-dispatch to main.
- Edge A (P0, defense in depth): sendDeliveryAck / sendReadReceipt /
  sendPrivateMessage / sendNoisePayload / triggerHandshake hop to
  messageQueue like sendMessage, so no main-actor call path reaches
  readLinkState's bleQueue.sync.
- Drop dedup (P1): publishedDropKeys and seenDropEventIDs persist across
  relaunches (new BridgeDropDedupStore, entries expire with the 24h
  NIP-40 drop window; wiped on panic) — one drop per message ID per 24h
  regardless of relaunch count.
- Receiver dedup (P1): openCourierEnvelope dedups on the inner private
  message ID before delivery, so a duplicate copy costs one decrypt and
  never re-delivers, re-acks, or re-triggers a handshake.
- Handshake gating (P2): queued acks initiate a Noise handshake only for
  reachable peers; mail from absent/rotated identities no longer turns
  each copy into a mesh-wide handshake flood (the ack stays queued and
  flushes when a session eventually establishes).
- Outbox (P3): re-enqueueing a queued message ID carries over its
  depositedCourierKeys so resends stop re-burning the same courier slots.

* Review fixes: offline-drop durability, gateway handoff retry, restore-log freshness, coalesced persist

Adversarial review of the storm/deadlock PR surfaced four issues:

- Offline blackhole (must-fix): a deposit made while relays were down
  persisted its dedup key even though the drop only sat in the in-memory
  pending queue — app killed before reconnect meant the relaunch lost the
  drop but the persisted key blocked every re-deposit for 24h. The
  persisted snapshot now excludes keys still pending; they become durable
  only when flushPendingDrops actually publishes them.
- Gateway handoff: seen-event IDs were consumed before the deliverToPeer
  handoff; a failed handoff (peer walked away) permanently dropped the
  event for a single-gateway island. deliverToPeer now reports whether
  the handoff was attempted, and a failure releases the seen slot so a
  relaunch or backlog redelivery retries.
- Restore-path logs: central/peripheral-restore captures logged the init
  sentinel bgRemaining=∞. The cache is now seeded in init's main-thread
  branch and restore captures route through the sampler, which refreshes
  the cached budget before logging.
- Persist cost: the dedup record was a full JSON encode + atomic write on
  the main actor per mutation (once per event during a backlog re-fetch).
  Writes now coalesce behind a 1s window, flushed immediately on
  background/terminate; panic wipe stays immediate.

304460ee83 Nearby notes: tap-to-reveal (consent-gate the location subscription) + subscription hygiene (#1422)
* Nearby notes: tap-to-reveal before any relay REQ, plus shared subscription pool

The nearby-notes counter used to open a live building-precision (precision-8)
geohash REQ to the closest geo relays whenever the mesh public timeline was
visible — a passive location side-channel with no opt-in. Now nothing
subscribes until one explicit act reveals the counter for the session: tapping
the new "check for notes left here" line on the empty mesh timeline (static,
no network), opening the notices sheet's geo tab, or a successful /drop. The
app-info setting stays the default-ON kill switch and still gates /drop.

Subscription hygiene alongside:
- LocationNotesManager.deinit now unsubscribes its live REQ (hopping to the
  main actor like the timer teardown) instead of only invalidating timers.
- New refcounted LocationNotesPool dedupes the counter's and the notices
  sheet's identical 9-cell kind-1 REQs into one shared manager per geohash;
  both callers release-and-reacquire instead of retargeting in place, and the
  sheet releases its ref on dismissal.

The reveal affordance is localized across all 29 catalog locales, and new
NearbyNotesCounterTests cover the no-REQ-before-reveal contract, the 9-cell
filter, NIP-40 expiry handling, single unsubscribe on deactivate, and pool
refcounting.

* Review fixes: permission-gate the hint, exclude building cell from pre-reveal sampling, explicit-act reveal only

Fixes the verified review findings on the tap-to-reveal PR:

- Permission dead-end: the "check for notes left here" hint now renders
  only when location permission is already authorized (it never prompts).
  Previously a location-denied install could tap it, flip the sticky
  revealed flag, and get nothing for the rest of the session because
  retarget() guards on authorization. Predicate lives on
  NearbyNotesCounter.offersRevealHint(permissionState:) and is reactive
  to the published permission state.

- Building-cell sampling: background geohash sampling subscribed
  geo-sample-<gh> for every regional level including the precision-8
  building cell, pre-reveal — contradicting the claim that nothing
  building-precision hits a relay before the explicit act.
  GeoChannelCoordinator now excludes the building level until
  NearbyNotesCounter.revealed (injectable publisher for tests); coarser
  levels keep the nearby-conversation hint and participant counts
  working, and bookmarks stay exempt (bookmarking is explicit).

- Implicit reveal: opening the notices sheet no longer reveals — the
  sheet auto-lands on the geo tab whenever a location channel is
  selected, so browsing a remote geohash and opening notices revealed
  the LOCAL building subscription. reveal() now fires only on the
  person actively picking the geo segment, and only when the sheet has
  a geo scope (the empty-mesh hint tap and /drop stay as before).

- Subscription hygiene: switching the sheet geo → mesh releases the
  pooled notes manager (the REQ was left streaming behind the mesh
  board); switching back re-acquires from the pool. The dismissal
  release stays balanced — liveGeoManager is nil after the tab-switch
  release.

- VoiceOver: the hint button exposes the plain localized action text
  instead of the decorated "* 📍 … *" label.

- Removed LocationNotesManager.setGeohash: zero callers, and calling it
  on a pooled instance would corrupt the pool's keying and refcounts.

New tests: hint permission gate, explicit-geo-tab reveal contract,
building-cell sampling exclusion before/after reveal, pool
release/re-acquire round trip. Full suite (1467) green; iOS simulator
build green.

* Deflake peer-snapshot binding waits: longTimeout for the multi-hop pipeline

CI failed once on initialization_bindsPeerSnapshotsIntoAllPeers: the
snapshot -> allPeers binding crosses the mock transport's unstructured
Task, UnifiedPeerService.updatePeers, a receive(on: main), and another
Task { @MainActor } in bindPeerService — all contending with every
parallel worker. On the failing runner the whole suite took 10.1s
(usually ~4.4s locally), so the positive 5s defaultTimeout wait lost
the race. That's exactly the case TestConstants.longTimeout documents;
passing runs return as soon as the condition holds and never pay it.

Not caused by the tap-to-reveal changes: nothing on that pipeline was
touched, and 20 full parallel-suite loops each on the branch and on
origin/main reproduce zero failures locally. The two sibling waits on
the same pipeline in this file get the same timeout.

b7c6f42b3a Close forged-directness link-rebind DoS on DM routing (#1421)
* Gate connected-link trust on a secure session; deny forged direct announces the connected shortcut

Residual gap after the rotation-heal containment (#1401): "verified
direct" announces prove the signature but not directness — TTL is
unsigned — so a malicious connected peer can replay a victim's fresh
announce with its TTL restored. When the victim has no live link, the
replayer's link rebinds to the victim's ID and reads as "connected",
and MessageRouter's connected fast-path then trusts it outright: every
DM stalls on a Noise handshake the replayer can never complete and is
silently lost while showing "sent".

Router-level trust gate (no wire change):
- Transport gains canDeliverSecurely(to:) — BLE answers with an
  established Noise session; Nostr keeps its prompt-delivery predicate;
  the protocol default forwards to canDeliverPromptly for transports
  without a forgeable link layer.
- MessageRouter.sendPrivate only trusts a connected link outright when
  it can deliver securely; otherwise it still sends (kicking the
  handshake on a genuine link) but retains a copy and hands a sealed
  copy to couriers, like the reachable path. flushOutbox gets the same
  gate so a flush over an insecure link resends instead of dropping the
  retained copy.

Presence hardening (defense in depth): a "direct" announce arriving on
a link already bound to a different peer no longer shortcuts the
claimed peer into "connected" — only real link state does. Genuine
first-contact and direct announces are unaffected; only the ambiguous
heal path loses the forgeable shortcut.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Harden the insecure-link outbox bound; document the second-replay presence gap and the courier metadata tradeoff

Review follow-ups on the canDeliverSecurely gate:

- flushOutbox no longer counts connected-but-insecure flushes toward the
  maxSendAttempts drop: the message was actually transmitted over a live
  link, so a peer whose Noise handshake stalls across reconnect flapping
  must not burn through the cap and lose the store-and-forward copy the
  gate exists to preserve. Retention stays bounded by the 24h outbox TTL
  and the per-peer FIFO cap; acks still clear it. Attempt-counting stays
  for reachable-only (heuristic) sends. Regression test: >8 connected-
  insecure flushes keep the retained copy, drop callback never fires.

- Document the known second-replay presence gap: linkBoundToOtherPeer
  reads the binding before rebindLinkAfterVerifiedDirectAnnounce steals
  the link, so once a first replay has rebound a link to an absent
  victim's ID, a second replay marks the victim connected. Presence
  display only — DMs stay on the retain+courier path via the router
  gate. Not closed at the announce layer because the post-rebind state
  is indistinguishable from a legitimate rotation/reconnect heal (a
  supported, field-verified flow). Covered by a two-announce test.

- Note the accepted courier-spray metadata tradeoff at the connected-
  insecure send: nearby verified peers receive a sealed copy (they learn
  a DM exists, never its content), cleared on ack.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Promote a healed rotation to connected; normalize the secure-delivery probe; retain Codable properties in Periphery

Codex review follow-ups on 5017c232:

- P1: a legitimate rotation announce necessarily arrives on a link still
  bound to the OLD peer ID, so the linkBoundToOtherPeer denial stored the
  new identity as disconnected — and the rebind only fixed link state,
  never the registry. A healed rotation then read as disconnected until
  the peer happened to announce again. rebindLinkAfterVerifiedDirect-
  Announce now promotes the rebound identity to connected after the
  containment checks pass (registry markConnected + topology/snapshot/
  peer-list refresh; the .peerConnected UI event already fired from the
  announce path). This consciously moves the forged-presence residue
  from second-replay to first-successful-rebind — bounded by the rebind
  containment (never steals a live identity, one rebind per link per
  cooldown) and still display-only: DMs stay gated on canDeliverSecurely.
  Comments and the pinned tests updated; new regression test covers
  rotate-on-open-link -> rebind -> isPeerConnected(new) == true.

- P2: BLEService.canDeliverSecurely probed the Noise session with the
  peer ID as given, but sessions are keyed by the short wire ID — a send
  keyed by the full 64-hex Noise key (favorites resolution) misread an
  established session as insecure and needlessly retained + couriered
  every DM until ack. Normalize with toShort() like isPeerConnected.
  Test drives a real XX handshake and asserts both ID forms pass.

- Periphery: the PrekeyBundleStore.StoredBundle.noiseKey "assign-only"
  flake fired again and slipped past its baselined USR (read exists in
  loadFromDisk; the indexer intermittently misses it). Replace the
  baseline entry with retain_codable_properties: true — deterministic,
  and a truly-dead Codable field is a persisted-format change anyway.
  Local periphery scan --strict: no unused code detected.

c8479c15e3 PTT hardening: per-peer burst keys + live-capture storage quota (#1420)
* PTT hardening: burst-ID collision hijack + live-capture quota bypass

Fix C — burst-ID collision hijack: inbound live-voice assemblies and the
finished-burst registry were keyed by the sender-chosen burst ID alone, so
an attacker who observed a public burst ID could race a START and capture
the real talker's frames (packets from the true sender were dropped as
"collisions"). Assemblies now key on (peerID, scope, burstID): a colliding
START from another peer opens its own capped assembly and can never divert
the victim's frames; finalized-note absorption matches on the same triple,
preserving the sender/scope binding. Live capture files also gain the peer
ID in their name so colliding bursts land on distinct paths (still rejected
by burstID(fromVoiceFileName:), so live names remain unabsorbable).

Fix B — live-burst files bypassed the incoming-media quota: progressive
voice_live_*.aac captures were written via raw FileHandle without ever
touching BLEIncomingFileStore.enforceQuota, growing disk unbounded outside
the 100 MB LRU accounting. The coordinator now takes an injected
BLEIncomingFileStore, reserves pttMaxBurstBytes before opening a capture,
and sweeps orphaned voice_live_* partials from previous sessions at
startup. enforceQuota gains an `excluding:` set so in-flight partials are
never LRU-evicted mid-stream; existing callers are unaffected.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Review fixes: pattern-guard live captures in quota, scope in capture names

Quota-eviction gap: BLEFileTransferHandler enforces the quota for every
finalized arrival via enforceQuota(reservingBytes:) with no exclusion set,
so a file landing at quota could LRU-evict an in-flight live capture —
unlinking the inode under the coordinator's open FileHandle and leaving a
dead bubble. Protection is now layer-independent: enforceQuota itself skips
voice_live_* names (they still count toward usage), and the excluding:
parameter is gone since the pattern guard covers its only caller. Orphaned
partials are still reclaimed by the coordinator's startup sweep, which the
quota deliberately never touches.

Same-peer cross-scope truncation: makeIncomingURL omitted the scope, so one
peer running a DM burst and a public burst with the same burst ID mapped
both assemblies onto one path — and FileManager.createFile truncates, so
each START corrupted the other capture. Names now mirror the assembly key:
voice_live_<burstHex>_<peerID>_<dm|mesh>.aac. The sweep and quota guard
match on the voice_live_ prefix and burstID(fromVoiceFileName:) still
rejects every live name, so live captures remain unabsorbable;
sameBurstIDCoexistsAcrossScopes now asserts both files survive with intact
contents.

Nits: the coordinator's file operations route through the store's
injectable FileManager instead of FileManager.default, and the
TestEnvironment.isRunningTests branch in init is replaced by a
sweepsOnInit parameter (tests sharing the real application-support
directory pass false for hermeticity).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Promote kept live captures off the voice_live_ name at finalize

Codex P1 follow-up: when a burst finalizes with frames but its .m4a note
never arrives, the voice_live_*.aac capture stays behind as the bubble's
replayable audio — yet the startup sweep deletes every voice_live_* file
and the quota guard skips them forever, so a kept fallback was both
quota-immune for the rest of the session and doomed at the next launch.

finalize now promotes the capture to a plain voice_ name (same suffix) and
republishes the row pointing at it; the finished-burst registry tracks the
promoted URL so a late note still absorbs and deletes it. voice_live_ is
thereby scoped to genuinely in-flight captures: the sweep never touches a
referenced fallback, and promoted files age out of the quota like any
finalized media. If the move fails the live name is kept — exactly the
pre-promotion behavior.

Premise correction, verified while tracing the reference model: chat rows
are NOT persisted across restarts (ConversationStore is in-memory; the
gossip archive replays MessageType.message packets only), so today's sweep
never orphaned a persisted row — the fix removes the in-session quota
immunity and makes the invariant hold if row persistence ever lands. Crash
case stays deliberate and documented: a mid-burst partial from a dead
process is swept because no surviving row can reference it.

Tests: finalize-as-fallback promotes the file, repoints the row, and
survives a later coordinator's startup sweep; promoted fallbacks are
LRU-evictable by the quota; the sweep still removes true orphans while
sparing promoted names; existing burst tests updated for the promoted
paths.

84d315e62d Bridge dedup: content-derived stable mesh message ID (#1419)
* Bridge dedup keys on a content-derived stable mesh message ID

Public mesh messages carry no message ID on the BLE wire, so every
non-origin device minted a fresh UUID and the bridge's m-tag dedup only
matched on the origin device: duplicate bridged rows, misattributed
"across the bridge" counts, redundant downlink rebroadcasts, and an
m-tag spoof vector (an attacker could claim a victim's message ID).

Every device now derives the same stable ID from the signed wire fields
(sender ID + ms timestamp + trimmed content, SHA256/32 hex) via the new
MeshMessageIdentity — zero BLE wire change. The bridge event's m tag
carries the origin coordinates ["m", senderIDHex, timestampMs] and
receivers recompute the key from those plus the event's own content
instead of trusting a claimed ID; old-format/absent tags fall back to
the event ID as before.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix mixed-version message loss: m tag leads with the derived stable ID

The previous layout (["m", senderIDHex, timestampMs]) broke v1.7.0
receivers: their parser takes m[1] unconditionally as the timeline
dedup key whenever the tag has >= 2 elements, so every bridged message
from a new-version sender keyed on the CONSTANT sender hex and
inject-dedup dropped all but the first. The tag is now
["m", <derived stable ID>, senderIDHex, timestampMs]: old parsers get a
per-message-unique m[1] (exactly today's semantics), while the new
parser recomputes the ID from elements 2-3 plus the event's own content
and never trusts element 1, keeping the recompute-don't-trust property.

Also:
- Soften the overstated security claim in MeshMessageIdentity and the
  BridgeService classify comment: forging a chosen ID onto different
  content is infeasible, but all three hash inputs are cleartext on the
  radio, so identical-content front-running by a radio-local attacker
  remains possible (no worse than the unbridged mesh).
- Fix the stale archivedEchoKeys rationale: re-synced copies of others'
  messages now carry the derived stable ID (insert-by-ID catches them);
  the content key remains for echo--prefixed archive rows + self echoes.
- Tests: old-parser semantics on the new tag (m[1] per-message-unique
  and equal to the derived ID) and a forged-m[1] event that cannot
  pre-poison a genuine message's dedup slot.

dd6b624cae Quality pass on the 1.7.0 batch: fix confirmed bugs, bump to 1.7.1 (#1418)
* Quality pass on the 1.7.0 batch: fix confirmed bugs, bump to 1.7.1

Post-merge review of PRs #1400–#1417 (push-to-talk, mesh bridging, DM
store-and-forward, empty-mesh liveliness, geo-notes). Fixes the confirmed,
well-scoped findings; deeper architectural/security items are tracked
separately.

- PTT hot-mic leak: releasing the mic during VoiceCaptureSession.start()'s
  150ms retry pause left the mic live and streaming for up to 120s, because
  cancel() no-op'd once `completed` was set. Bail after the sleep if the hold
  was released, and make cancel() always tear down a late-started capture.
- Bridge courier depositDrop reported success and burned the dedup slot before
  the drop was actually published (evicted/compose-fail = lying 📦 "carried"
  with no retry). Only consume publishedDropKeys on durable accept; add
  BoundedIDSet.remove() to release evicted/failed slots (uses the dead dedupKey).
- Blocked senders resurfaced via archived "heard here earlier" echoes, the one
  path that bypassed the live block filter — filter at seed time.
- A late optimistic .sent clobbered the router's .carried state; extend
  ConversationStore.shouldSkipStatusUpdate to a full precedence guard
  (sending < sent < carried < delivered < read).
- Read receipts were permanently burned when the router dropped them (marked
  sent then dropped). sendReadReceipt/routeReadReceipt now return Bool; only
  record as sent on a successful route, else retry on the next read scan.
- MessageRouter.cleanupExpiredMessages() had no production caller, so DMs to a
  peer that never reconnects sat on .sending until relaunch — run it in the
  120s bridge sweep.
- Sightings tally now rolls over at midnight while idle; wave notification
  action localized across all 29 locales; bridged anon#tag uses suffix(4) like
  everything else; makeThrowawayIdentity delegates to NostrIdentity.generate();
  .swiftlint.yml excludes .claude worktrees.
- Add regression tests: carried→sent no-downgrade, carried→delivered upgrade,
  evicted pending drop stays retryable.
- Bump MARKETING_VERSION to 1.7.1.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix CI: adjust delivery-status benchmark and drop now-dead addSystemMessage

The stricter no-downgrade guard (delivered/carried never regress to sent) broke
two things the earlier commit didn't catch locally (perf tests are skipped in
the default run, and Periphery runs only in CI):

- PerformanceBaselineTests delivery benchmarks alternated sent <-> delivered
  assuming both directions apply; the delivered -> sent half is now correctly
  skipped, so the pass measured 0 updates. Alternate two delivered timestamps
  instead — every update is real, no downgrade.
- Routing the geoDM "not in a location channel" error into the thread removed
  the only caller of ChatPrivateConversationContext.addSystemMessage, leaving
  it (and its mock) dead per Periphery. Drop the protocol requirement, the mock
  impl, and the now-vacuous systemMessages.isEmpty assertions (the invariant is
  compile-time enforced: the context can no longer emit a public system line).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Address review findings: read-receipt dedup, carried-vs-sending, block-time echo purge

- Read receipts: claim the receipt in sentReadReceipts synchronously
  before spawning the routing task (chat open runs two read scans in one
  MainActor stretch, so the async insert let every unread message route
  twice), and release the claim when the route fails so the
  retry-on-failed-route behavior is preserved.

- Delivery status: extend the no-downgrade guard so the `.sending`
  stamp a pre-handshake resend emits can no longer clobber
  carried/delivered/read (the 📦 indicator survived `.sent` but not
  `.sending`).

- Archived echoes: blocking a peer now purges their carried public
  messages from the gossip archive at block time (UnifiedPeerService
  and /block), while the fingerprint-to-peerID mapping is still known —
  the seed-time filter can't resolve offline non-favorite strangers and
  stays only as defense-in-depth. New Transport hook (default no-op) +
  GossipSyncManager.removePublicMessages with immediate persist.

- Bridge courier: an envelope that can't encode within the drop size
  caps fails identically on every attempt; consume the dedup slot so
  the 120s retry sweep stops re-running Noise sealing on it.

- MeshSightingsTracker: cache the day-key DateFormatter instead of
  building one per call.

Tests: double-markAsRead dedup + failed-route retry, carried→sending
no-downgrade matrix, block-time purge (manager + service wiring),
oversize-drop slot consumption.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Also skip the sent→sending downgrade in the delivery-status guard

Codex review follow-up: sendPrivateMessage without an established Noise
session emits `.sending` asynchronously, so it can land after the
message already reached `.sent` and visibly walk "Sent" back to
"Sending...". Treat `.sending` as weaker than `.sent` too — the status
was already truthful. `.failed` → `.sending` stays allowed so a retry
after a real failure remains visible.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Retain Codable properties in Periphery scan (same fix as #1421)

The noiseKey assign-only false positive fired persistently on this branch
(twice, including a rerun) despite the baselined USR. Byte-identical to the
fix on fix/announce-replay-link-steal so the branches merge cleanly in
either order.

The variable only fed the deleted guard (#1415); the favorites lookup in
the unified-peer branch existed solely to populate it.

55d51ba084 DMs to unreachable peers use store-and-forward instead of failing instantly (#1415)
* DMs to unreachable peers route through store-and-forward; drop stale reachability gates

Field-found: sendPrivateMessage pre-judged reachability and marked the
message failed without ever calling the router, so the retained outbox,
courier deposits, and bridge drops never ran — a DM composed after a
peer's reachability window lapsed was dead on arrival while an identical
one sent a minute earlier delivered. Messages now always route; a live
path earns "sent", everything else stays "sending" until the router
reports carried/delivered or expires it as failed.

A sweep for sibling gates found and fixed:
- startPrivateChat refused offline non-mutual favorites ("mutual favorite
  required for offline messaging") — store-and-forward only needs the
  recipient's noise key, so the gate and its string are gone.
- markPrivateMessagesAsRead skipped the whole receipt pass for peers
  without a stored Nostr key, starving mesh-connected non-favorites; the
  router picks the transport now (sentReadReceipts dedups the parallel
  PrivateChatManager path).
- DM/geoDM blocked notices and the unknown-group error posted to the
  active public timeline; they now land in the thread they're about via
  addLocalPrivateSystemMessage.
- Banned copy: literal "user" fallbacks in code become "anon" (the
  default-nickname convention), and es/fr/it/pt translations of four keys
  still saying usuario/utilisateur/utente/usuário now say person. Orphaned
  keys removed (system.dm.unreachable, content.delivery.reason.unreachable,
  system.chat.requires_favorite).

* Deflake BLEServiceCoreTests: longTimeout for positive waits

CI flaked on duplicatePacket_isDeduped: the first message landed after the
5s wait expired on a loaded runner (the test's later count==1 assertions
passed, proving late delivery, not lost delivery). All four positive waits
in the file now use TestConstants.longTimeout, which exists for exactly
this — waitUntil returns as soon as the condition holds, so passing runs
never pay the longer ceiling.

* Fix read-receipt test contamination; baseline Periphery noiseKey flake

Two CI failures, both environmental:

- markReadReceiptSent_returnsFalseOnSecondCall flaked because every test
  ChatViewModel shared one per-process read-receipts scratch suite; the
  lifecycle test persists the same "read-1" ID (a path the receipt-gate
  removal now reaches), and test order decided who saw whose state. Each
  instance now gets its own UUID-suffixed suite.

- Periphery intermittently misses the loadFromDisk read of
  PrekeyBundleStore.StoredBundle.noiseKey and fails --strict with a false
  "assign-only" finding (recurrence of a known flake). Its USR is
  baselined; an in-source periphery:ignore can't work because strict mode
  flags it as superfluous on runs where the indexer gets it right.

dc99d641c8 Give the macOS app a proper icon matching iOS (#1414)
The macOS Debug configuration uses AppIconDebug, which had no mac-idiom
entries at all, so Debug builds shipped with the generic dock icon. And
the mac slots in AppIcon reused the full-bleed square iOS artwork; macOS
does not mask icons at render time, so even Release showed a sharp-
cornered square.

- Regenerate all AppIcon mac PNGs with the Big Sur icon grid baked in
  (824x824 rounded-rect body on a transparent 1024 canvas + standard
  drop shadow), derived from the same 1024 iOS art.
- Add a full mac icon set to AppIconDebug from the green debug artwork.
- Add scripts/generate-mac-appicon.swift (pure CoreGraphics) to
  re-derive the mac sizes whenever the 1024 source changes.

020de96519 Mesh bridging: stitch nearby mesh islands over the internet, courier drops, unified settings (#1412)
* Mesh bridging: stitch nearby mesh islands over Nostr, courier drops, settings surface

Three features plus a UI consolidation, all opt-in behind a new Bridge toggle:

Channel bridge: while bridging, outgoing public mesh messages are also
signed (with a derived, unlinkable per-cell Nostr identity) as kind-20000
events tagged #r with the local geohash-6 cell and published to the cell's
deterministic geo relays; mesh-only peers deposit via new toBridge/fromBridge
carrier directions through a bridge gateway (bridge + gateway toggles).
Remote islands' events render into the mesh timeline marked with a network
glyph. Events carry the original mesh message ID so the store's insert-by-ID
absorbs radio/bridge duplicates in either order. Loop prevention mirrors
GatewayService (three BoundedIDSet caches + skip-if-seen-locally + budgets).
Nothing crosses a bridge unless its author signed it for the bridge; a
per-message "nearby only" composer toggle keeps a message radio-only.

Courier over the bridge: sealed courier envelopes park on default relays as
kind-1401 drops tagged #x with their day-rotating recipient tag (NIP-40
expiry), signed by per-drop throwaway keys. Recipients subscribe for their
own candidate tags; bridge gateways watch verified local peers' tags and
hand matching drops over as directed courier packets. DM delivery to known
peers stops requiring a physical courier encounter; the Noise-X seal never
opens in transit.

Presence: kind-20001 heartbeats on the rendezvous feed a "people across the
bridge" count in the header (approximate: local participants subtracted by
radio-copy attribution).

Settings/Info: AppInfoView is now a segmented Settings/Info sheet. Settings
hosts appearance, voice (fixes the duplicated Voice section), a Connectivity
section (bridge + gateway + Tor toggles, the latter two moved out of the
location sheet), and a confirmed panic-wipe button. New announce TLV 0x06
advertises the gateway's rendezvous cell; PeerCapabilities gains .bridge.

i18n: 23 new keys across all 29 locales; coverage tests green.
Tests: 50 new app tests + 3 BitFoundation tests; full suite 1445 green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Settings polish: one toggle style, sticky Info-first tab, location access in Settings

- The live-voice toggle now uses the same settings card + IRC pill as the
  connectivity toggles (settingToggle, renamed from connectivityToggle).
- Segmented control orders Info first; the selected pane persists across
  opens (AppStorage), so first-ever open lands on Info and afterwards the
  sheet reopens where it was left.
- "remove location access" moved from the channels sheet into the Settings
  Connectivity section (same key, still deep-links to system settings).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Location UX + copy: state-aware access control, honest empty state, clearer bridge/gateway text

- Settings' location control now covers all three permission states: grant
  (real prompt, only possible while never-asked), open-system-settings when
  denied, remove-access when granted. The channels sheet keeps its own grant
  path for people who start there.
- The channels list no longer spins forever without permission; it shows
  "grant location access to find nearby channels" instead (new key, 29
  locales).
- Bridge and gateway subtitles rewritten for clarity; the gateway subtitle
  moved to a new key since it now carries bridge traffic, and the old
  geohash-only key is deleted. The word "user" is banned from copy in every
  locale ("this person is blocked").

* Field-test fixes: dedupe relay-connectivity triggers, throttle presence, log bridge decisions

First on-device run confirmed publishes accepted and the subscription
delivering, but exposed trigger spam: NostrRelayManager's isConnected
re-emits per relay recompute, so presence published 5x/second and the
courier-drop subscription rebuilt 6x in 300ms. removeDuplicates() on the
sinks + a 30s presence throttle (same-second heartbeats are byte-identical
events anyway). Also: injection/skip/downlink now log under 🌉 so field
verification is observable — the first test looked silent precisely because
dedup correctly suppressed same-island bridged copies.

* Fix restart self-echo: recognize own rendezvous events by derived pubkey

Second field run proved bidirectional bridging live (~1-2s Mac<->iPhone via
Tor) but caught a bug: relay backfill after an app relaunch re-delivered the
device's own pre-restart events, and with the in-memory published-ID cache
wiped they rendered as bridged copies of your own messages. The rendezvous
identity is deterministically derived per cell, so self-recognition by
pubkey needs no cache and survives restarts; own events are also marked
never-downlink. Regression test simulates the fresh-launch state.

* People sheet: mesh, bridge, and groups in one list

The header's bridged count had no matching faces anywhere — the people
sheet only knew mesh peers. BridgeService now publishes named participants
(nickname from message tags, geohash-style #last4 disambiguation, presence
keeps a known name alive) and the mesh people sheet gains an
"across the bridge" section between mesh peers and groups. Display-only
rows in v1 (bridged identities have no DM route yet). Two new catalog keys
x29 locales; also normalizes one out-of-sort-order entry inherited from a
hand-edited key on main.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Header: one people icon, one count, one sheet

Fold the bridged-people count into the main person.2.fill count instead of
a second network-glyph counter; the merged people sheet (mesh / across the
bridge / groups) is the breakdown. VoiceOver still announces how many of
the total are across the bridge.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* People sheet symmetry: #mesh section header, no active count

Every section now gets the same glyph+label header shape (shared
PeopleSectionHeader): #mesh over the peer list, across-the-bridge over
bridged people. The "N active" line is gone (mesh); location channels keep
their geohash subtitle. Dead subtitle/count helpers removed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* One switch: the bridge toggle drives all internet sharing

Field feedback: two toggles (bridge + gateway) with an invisible dependency
was a trap — bridged messages silently never reached mesh-only neighbors
unless a second lever was found and flipped. Collapsed to a single switch
that does the right thing for your situation:

- Bridge ON + internet: your messages cross, you see the bridge, AND your
  device serves its island — accepts toBridge deposits, carries remote
  messages onto the radio, watches courier drops for verified local peers,
  advertises the cell, and runs the geohash-channel gateway.
- Bridge ON, no internet: you ride whoever nearby is serving.
- Bridge OFF: nothing of yours crosses; radio reception of bridged traffic
  stays passive and free.

With every online bridger serving, downlink gets a 0.2-1.5s jittered
holdoff + send-time suppression recheck so co-located gateways don't burn
duplicate airtime (two-gateway test included). The internet-gateway card is
gone from Settings (GatewayService now follows the bridge switch, with
launch-time migration); its orphaned catalog keys deleted and the bridge
subtitle broadened across all 29 locales. Also: MeshPeerList's empty state
("nobody around...") aligned to the section row rhythm.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Bridge pumps its own location; fix centered people sheet; stop drop-subscription churn

Field session 3 found the bridge silently cell-less: it read
availableChannels passively, which only flow while some other feature
(channels sheet, location notes, geo sampling) happens to pump location —
turn those off and the bridge never gets a rendezvous. BridgeService now
requests a one-shot fix whenever it's enabled without a cell (and
piggybacks one on the presence timer so moving devices migrate cells).

Also from the session: the people sheet's scroll content hugged its widest
child and got centered on iPhone when the list was empty — pinned to full
width, leading. And the courier-drop subscription rebuilt every ~60s on
verified announces despite an unchanged tag set — now resubscribes only
when the tags actually change.

(Also merges origin/main: keychain test isolation #1413.)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix launch race: bridge reacts to the permission callback, retries cell-less

Field session 4: the launch-time location request ran before the CoreLocation
authorization callback delivered, so refreshChannels() silently no-opped
(it requires .authorized) and nothing ever retried — the bridge stayed
cell-less all session. Three layers now close it:

- a $permissionState sink re-enters refreshRendezvous the moment
  authorization resolves (the fast path),
- the maintenance timer arms even without a cell and retries the full
  rendezvous refresh (the backstop; it previously required a cell, which
  made it useless for exactly this failure),
- flipping the bridge switch while never-asked triggers the location
  prompt — that's the user-initiated moment for it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* People sheet: one header style for every section; bridged people visible while own bridge is off

GroupChatList's header now uses the shared PeopleSectionHeader (glyph +
label, same size/padding as #mesh and across-the-bridge; keeps its key and
header trait). Bridge section and the header count are no longer gated on
this device's own toggle: bridged people arrive over passive radio from a
serving neighbor, and whoever is visible in the timeline belongs in the
sheet and the count.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* People sheet: equalize the first section's gap

MeshPeerList's first row kept a legacy 10pt top bump from when nothing sat
above it, and the outer VStack's 6pt inter-child spacing applied between
the #mesh header and the list but not inside the other sections. Both gone:
sections own their rhythm (header 12/4, rows 4), spacing 0 outside.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* People sheet: rows drop their leading glyphs — the section header carries the type

Mesh rows lose the per-state transport icon (connected/relayed/nostr/
offline), bridge rows the network glyph, group rows the person.3 icon.
Trailing state badges (star, lock, verified, unread, blocked, crown) stay,
and the row accessibility description still announces connection state, so
VoiceOver loses nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Remove dead code left behind by the Settings|Info consolidation

Periphery (--strict) flagged five leftovers on this branch:
- LocationChannelsModel.setGatewayEnabled: the standalone internet-gateway
  toggle is gone (the bridge switch drives internet sharing), so nothing
  calls it; the gatewayEnabled published property stays for the header dot.
- AppInfoView Strings.Location title/enable/openSettings: the old Location
  section's header and permission buttons no longer exist. Their orphaned
  Localizable.xcstrings entries go with them (the gateway-toggle keys were
  already pruned).
- BridgePeopleList's appTheme environment value was never read.

The sixth CI finding (PrekeyBundleStore.StoredBundle.noiseKey assign-only)
is a Periphery flake: the property is read in loadFromDisk, the finding
didn't reproduce locally or on the next CI run of unchanged code.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* People sheet: mesh rows get their transport glyph back

The mesh section is the one heterogeneous list — the leading icon encodes
HOW a peer is reachable (radio / relayed / nostr-only / offline), which the
header can't say. Bridge and group rows stay glyph-free.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix courier drop skipped by stale BLE reachability; periodic deposit sweep

Field test: a DM sent seconds after the recipient's radio vanished still
saw them as "reachable" (60s verified retention), so canDeliverPromptly
held, every deposit was skipped, and the message sat spooled with no retry
path. MessageRouter now sweeps its outbox every 2 minutes and publishes
bridge drops for messages whose recipient no transport can promptly reach;
the drop layer's message-ID dedup makes the sweep idempotent. Regression
test reproduces the exact field sequence.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Show "carried" when a message ships as a bridge drop

Field feedback: dropped DMs delivered but the sender saw nothing — the
drop path never fired onMessageCarried, and the recipient's delivery ack
has no radio route back until the peers next share a transport. depositDrop
now reports whether a fresh drop was sealed and the router marks the
message carried (📦) on both the send path and the sweep; the ack still
upgrades it to delivered whenever a route exists.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix locale word order: offline tag after name in DM header; localized "ago"

The private-chat header rendered the localized offline word in the
availability-glyph slot, before the name — "sin conexión bob". Offline now
shows the same dimmed person glyph the mesh list uses, with the word as a
small trailing tag after the name and lock, so it reads correctly in every
locale. Full sweep of views found one more composition bug: notice
timestamps glued English "ago" onto a localized duration; now the whole
phrase comes from RelativeDateTimeFormatter (same as the "fades" label).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* DM header offline state: icon only

The availability slot now reads uniformly as a glyph (radio / relayed /
globe / dimmed person), matching the mesh list; the text tag is gone.
VoiceOver still announces "offline" via the glyph's accessibility label.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Offline glyph: slashed antenna instead of dimmed person

Offline is now the visual negation of connected (same antenna glyph,
slashed) in both the DM header and mesh list rows; a generic person icon
didn't say "unreachable".

d499c3e415 Isolate tests from the developer's real login keychain (#1413)
* Isolate tests from the developer's real login keychain

Every test run prompted for the login keychain password (repeatedly,
since the xctest runner's code signature changes each build, so
"Always Allow" can never stick) and silently deleted the developer's
real Nostr identity via panic-mode tests.

Two holes let tests reach the real keychain:

- NostrIdentityBridge() defaulted to the real KeychainManager. Tests
  inject mocks, but app-side constructions with no injection point
  (LocationNotesManager's static bridge, GeohashPresenceService,
  BoardManager, AppRuntime) read the real chat.bitchat.nostr item
  when exercised under test.
- clearAllAssociations() used raw SecItem* calls that bypassed the
  injected keychain entirely, so panicClearAllData tests wiped the
  real Nostr identity items on every run.

Fix: centralize FavoritesPersistenceService's test-guarded in-memory
default as KeychainManager.makeDefault() and use it for all default
keychain parameters, and add deleteAll(service:) to
KeychainManagerProtocol so clearAllAssociations() goes through the
injected keychain like every other operation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Share one in-memory test keychain per process (Codex P2)

A fresh store per makeDefault() call diverges from production, where
separate default-constructed bridges share chat.bitchat.nostr —
BoardManager's publish and NIP-09 delete paths would derive different
geohash identities under test. PreviewKeychainManager gains a lock
since the shared instance is reached from arbitrary threads.

4baeaab717 Geo notes latency: EOSE scoped to reached relays + connecting state with auto-retry (#1411)
* Empty-mesh liveliness: nearby conversations, echoes, wave action, dead drops, radar

The empty mesh timeline was a dead end: a grey zero and "nobody in range
yet". This turns it into a live surface and gives the app pull when the
mesh wakes up:

- Nearest conversation: background geohash sampling now tracks actual
  chat messages (not just presence) per regional channel; the empty state
  surfaces the busiest nearby conversation with a preview, one tap to
  join (GeohashChatActivityTracker, fed from GeoPresenceTracker).
- Echoes: the carried 6h store-and-forward window renders as dimmed
  "heard here earlier" rows at launch (new Transport
  collectArchivedPublicMessages -> GossipSyncManager snapshot, decoded
  with signature-derived nicknames; content-identity dedup guards
  against re-synced duplicates).
- Wave: the "bitchatters nearby" notification gains a "wave" quick
  action that broadcasts a mesh 👋 straight from the notification, even
  backgrounded (first UNNotificationCategory in the app).
- Dead drops: /drop pins a note to the current building geohash as a
  kind-1 location note with a 24h NIP-40 expiry; expired notes are now
  dropped client-side at ingest; the notices sheet shows "fades in Xh";
  a "location notes" toggle plus location-permission controls live in
  app info (also fixes the duplicated Voice section).
- Radar: an ambient sonar animation shows the radio scanning, with a
  privacy-safe daily tally ("N devices passed within range today" via
  salted per-day hashes) and a "notes left here" hint that opens the
  notices geo tab.

All new user-facing strings ship in all 29 locales. 1403 tests green,
including new suites for the activity tracker, sightings tally, and
note expiry/drop publishing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Review round: app-info polish, urgent/expiry parity, centered radar, pin fill, Codex P2s

- App info: LOCATION header uppercased like sibling sections; location
  notes and live voice descriptions shortened (29 locales); redundant
  "location access granted" line removed.
- Notices parity: urgent + expiry controls now show on the geo tab too;
  the bridged Nostr note carries ["t","urgent"] and NIP-40 so relay-side
  readers see both; urgent parsed back from incoming notes.
- Radar moved from the top of the empty state to the center of the chat
  area, below the help text (empty state fills the visible height).
- Header pin fills whenever the scope has notices (was: only unseen),
  and Nostr-only nearby notes now light it too.
- Codex P2 fixes: notification completion deferred until the wave action
  is handled (background suspension dropped the send); NIP-40 notes now
  prune on a timer when they expire while displayed; the location-notes
  kill switch retargets the nearby-notes counter immediately.

* Hide macOS segmented picker's built-in label in notices composer (duplicate 'expires in')

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Geo notes: permanent (∞) expiry default, urgent stays mesh-only

- Geo expiry picker gains ∞ as the default: a permanent note posts as a
  pure relay note (no NIP-40 tag, no mesh-board copy — a board copy must
  fade within days, contradicting the ∞ the user picked). 1/3/7d keep
  the board + bridged-note path with NIP-40.
- The notes manager is now owned by the notices sheet (not the list) so
  the composer local-echoes ∞ notes into the list; it revives via
  refresh() after a tab-switch cancel, and its expiry-prune timer
  survives cancel (weak self, dies with the instance).
- Urgent toggle returns to mesh-only per review — notes are ambient;
  the read-side urgent-tag parse stays so tagged notes still render.
- macOS: hide the segmented picker's built-in label (duplicate
  "expires in").

* Geo notes latency: EOSE scoped to reached relays, connecting state with auto-retry

Field finding: opening notices on a cold launch showed "no notices yet"
after ~10s, with notes popping in later — the empty state was a lie told
by two mechanisms:

- EOSE tracking waited on ALL target relays, including ones still
  mid-Tor-circuit; one dead relay of five pinned "loading" until the
  10s fallback. Trackers now count a relay only once the REQ actually
  reached it (marked from the send completion, or proven by its EOSE),
  so the first responding relay resolves the initial load and dropped
  targets can't stall it. The 10s fallback stays as backstop.
- When that fallback fired with ZERO connected target relays (Tor still
  bootstrapping), LocationNotesManager reported .ready with no notes.
  It now enters a .connecting state — rendered as "connecting to
  relays…" instead of the empty state — and polls every 3s, re-
  subscribing for a fresh initial fetch the moment a target relay
  comes up.

New NostrRelayManager.isAnyRelayConnected(among:) feeds the check via
an injectable dependency (tests default to legacy behavior). String
localized in all 29 locales. 1412 tests green, iOS+macOS builds clean.

* Clearing the mesh timeline dismisses echoes for good; tighter divider copy

Triple-tap /clear emptied the timeline but the next launch re-seeded
"heard here earlier" from the persisted archive. A MeshEchoSettings
watermark now records the clear; only messages heard after it come back
(the archive itself still carries everything for peers' sync). The
echo dedup keys reset with it, and panic wipe drops the watermark.

Divider copy tightened to "heard here earlier · last 6h" (29 locales).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Mark EOSE relays at send initiation, closing the in-flight-send race

Codex P2 on #1411: with several sockets already connected, a fast
relay's EOSE could complete the tracker while a slower relay's async
send completion hadn't yet moved it out of awaitingSend — the initial
load reported done with that relay's stored events still pending.
Relays are now marked awaiting-EOSE synchronously when the REQ send is
initiated (and when a flush skips an already-subscribed relay), so
every relay that was actually asked is counted before any EOSE can
race. Failed sends resolve via the disconnect settle or the fallback.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Echoes visual polish: tinted history block, radar-captioned tally, ambient footer

Device-test feedback on the echoes screen:
- Archived echoes now sit on a subtle tinted background (secondary at
  8%) in addition to the dim, so "heard here earlier" reads as one
  distinct block; the divider carries the echo ID prefix to join it.
- "N devices passed within range today" moves out of the narration
  lines to sit centered under the radar as its caption.
- When the timeline holds only echoes/system lines, a compact ambient
  footer (small radar + tally + live hints) renders below the history
  instead of the whole ambient layer vanishing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Notes strip persists above the mesh chat; leaner empty-state narration

- The 📍 "notes left here" line was empty-state-only, so starting a
  conversation hid it. It is now a tappable strip pinned above the mesh
  timeline whenever unexpired notes exist at this place (opens the
  notices geo tab); the nearby-notes counter runs for the whole mesh
  timeline, not just the empty state.
- Empty state narration drops "nobody in range yet..." (the radar and
  the sightings caption already say it) and the nearby-conversation
  hint moves below the help line instead of splitting the narration.

* Empty-mesh liveliness: nearby conversations, echoes, wave action, dead drops, radar

The empty mesh timeline was a dead end: a grey zero and "nobody in range
yet". This turns it into a live surface and gives the app pull when the
mesh wakes up:

- Nearest conversation: background geohash sampling now tracks actual
  chat messages (not just presence) per regional channel; the empty state
  surfaces the busiest nearby conversation with a preview, one tap to
  join (GeohashChatActivityTracker, fed from GeoPresenceTracker).
- Echoes: the carried 6h store-and-forward window renders as dimmed
  "heard here earlier" rows at launch (new Transport
  collectArchivedPublicMessages -> GossipSyncManager snapshot, decoded
  with signature-derived nicknames; content-identity dedup guards
  against re-synced duplicates).
- Wave: the "bitchatters nearby" notification gains a "wave" quick
  action that broadcasts a mesh 👋 straight from the notification, even
  backgrounded (first UNNotificationCategory in the app).
- Dead drops: /drop pins a note to the current building geohash as a
  kind-1 location note with a 24h NIP-40 expiry; expired notes are now
  dropped client-side at ingest; the notices sheet shows "fades in Xh";
  a "location notes" toggle plus location-permission controls live in
  app info (also fixes the duplicated Voice section).
- Radar: an ambient sonar animation shows the radio scanning, with a
  privacy-safe daily tally ("N devices passed within range today" via
  salted per-day hashes) and a "notes left here" hint that opens the
  notices geo tab.

All new user-facing strings ship in all 29 locales. 1403 tests green,
including new suites for the activity tracker, sightings tally, and
note expiry/drop publishing.

* Review round: app-info polish, urgent/expiry parity, centered radar, pin fill, Codex P2s

- App info: LOCATION header uppercased like sibling sections; location
  notes and live voice descriptions shortened (29 locales); redundant
  "location access granted" line removed.
- Notices parity: urgent + expiry controls now show on the geo tab too;
  the bridged Nostr note carries ["t","urgent"] and NIP-40 so relay-side
  readers see both; urgent parsed back from incoming notes.
- Radar moved from the top of the empty state to the center of the chat
  area, below the help text (empty state fills the visible height).
- Header pin fills whenever the scope has notices (was: only unseen),
  and Nostr-only nearby notes now light it too.
- Codex P2 fixes: notification completion deferred until the wave action
  is handled (background suspension dropped the send); NIP-40 notes now
  prune on a timer when they expire while displayed; the location-notes
  kill switch retargets the nearby-notes counter immediately.

* Hide macOS segmented picker's built-in label in notices composer (duplicate 'expires in')

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Geo notes: permanent (∞) expiry default, urgent stays mesh-only

- Geo expiry picker gains ∞ as the default: a permanent note posts as a
  pure relay note (no NIP-40 tag, no mesh-board copy — a board copy must
  fade within days, contradicting the ∞ the user picked). 1/3/7d keep
  the board + bridged-note path with NIP-40.
- The notes manager is now owned by the notices sheet (not the list) so
  the composer local-echoes ∞ notes into the list; it revives via
  refresh() after a tab-switch cancel, and its expiry-prune timer
  survives cancel (weak self, dies with the instance).
- Urgent toggle returns to mesh-only per review — notes are ambient;
  the read-side urgent-tag parse stays so tagged notes still render.
- macOS: hide the segmented picker's built-in label (duplicate
  "expires in").

* Clearing the mesh timeline dismisses echoes for good; tighter divider copy

Triple-tap /clear emptied the timeline but the next launch re-seeded
"heard here earlier" from the persisted archive. A MeshEchoSettings
watermark now records the clear; only messages heard after it come back
(the archive itself still carries everything for peers' sync). The
echo dedup keys reset with it, and panic wipe drops the watermark.

Divider copy tightened to "heard here earlier · last 6h" (29 locales).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Echoes visual polish: tinted history block, radar-captioned tally, ambient footer

Device-test feedback on the echoes screen:
- Archived echoes now sit on a subtle tinted background (secondary at
  8%) in addition to the dim, so "heard here earlier" reads as one
  distinct block; the divider carries the echo ID prefix to join it.
- "N devices passed within range today" moves out of the narration
  lines to sit centered under the radar as its caption.
- When the timeline holds only echoes/system lines, a compact ambient
  footer (small radar + tally + live hints) renders below the history
  instead of the whole ambient layer vanishing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Notes strip persists above the mesh chat; leaner empty-state narration

- The 📍 "notes left here" line was empty-state-only, so starting a
  conversation hid it. It is now a tappable strip pinned above the mesh
  timeline whenever unexpired notes exist at this place (opens the
  notices geo tab); the nearby-notes counter runs for the whole mesh
  timeline, not just the empty state.
- Empty state narration drops "nobody in range yet..." (the radar and
  the sightings caption already say it) and the nearby-conversation
  hint moves below the help line instead of splitting the narration.

ef848857b7 Remove dead code found by full Periphery audit; add scan config + advisory CI (#1410)
Periphery 3.7.4 audit of both schemes (macOS + iOS, intersected so
platform-specific code is never touched), with test targets indexed and
the share extension built. 277 dead declarations removed or demoted:
dead forwarding wrappers (ChatViewModel+Nostr/+PrivateChat), removed-
feature remnants (autocomplete command suggestions, back-swipe tuning,
MediaSendError, GeohashParticipantTracker), unused Tor dormancy
bindings, assign-only properties, unused parameters (renamed to _), and
redundant public accessibility. 13 orphaned localization keys deleted
across all 29 locales (old pre-#1392 location-notes UI, app_info
warnings).

Two real tests were flagged as unused because they never ran: Swift
Testing methods missing @Test (NostrProtocolTests.
testAckRoundTripNIP44V2_Delivered, NotificationStreamAssemblerTests.
testAssemblesCompressedLargeFrame). Re-armed both; they pass.

Deliberately kept, now recorded in .periphery.baseline.json: iOS-only
code invisible to the CI macOS scan, C FFI signatures, keep-alive
NWPathMonitor reference, InboundEventKey.eventID (dedup semantics),
wifiBulk capability bit (reserved for Wi-Fi bulk work, used by
BitFoundation package tests), and the String secureClear cluster
(exercised by package tests).

New: .periphery.yml config and an advisory Dead Code CI job (mirrors
the SwiftLint precedent from #1361) that fails on findings not in the
committed baseline.

Verified: full macOS app suite, BitFoundation (119) and BitLogger (13)
package tests green; periphery scan --strict exits clean.

d5cf64f99e Require signed sender for broadcast file transfers (#1406 follow-up) (#1407)
* Require signed sender for broadcast file transfers (#1406 follow-up)

Broadcast file transfers trusted the packet's claimed senderID whenever
the peer was merely connected (resolveKnownPeer allowConnectedUnverified:
true), unlike public messages and public voice frames, which both require
a valid packet signature from the claimed sender.

Codex flagged the consequence on PR #1406: a peer that observed a public
voice burst could broadcast a spoofed voice_<burstID>.m4a note under the
talker's senderID, and ChatLiveVoiceCoordinator.absorbFinalizedVoiceNote
would replace the signature-verified live bubble with attacker audio
(senderPeerID + scope were the only bindings, both attacker-forgeable on
this path).

Bring broadcast file transfers up to the same bar as public messages:
verify the packet signature against the registry signing key, falling
back to the persisted-identity signature lookup, before trusting the
sender. Directed (private) transfers keep the lenient connected-peer path
— they are addressed to us specifically and carry no broadcast exposure.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Exempt self broadcasts from the file-transfer signature gate

Review of #1407 caught a regression: our own broadcast files replayed via
gossip sync arrive with ttl==0 (so isSelfEcho does not drop them) and
cannot be verified against the peer registry or identity cache, so the new
broadcast signature guard would drop them. Mirror BLEPublicMessageHandler's
self exemption — self packets are trivially authentic — and add a
regression test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Stop relaying broadcast file packets that fail sender authentication

Codex review on #1407: the new signature gate dropped spoofed broadcast
files locally, but BLEService's .fileTransfer case still fell through to
scheduleRelayIfNeeded, so a forged file kept propagating to downstream
(possibly older, ungated) nodes. Have the handler report failed sender
authentication and skip the relay step, like invalid board posts and
voice frames. Local-only drops (malformed payload, quota, save failure)
and files directed to other peers still relay unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix CI hang: sign the max-size reassembly file transfer, unhang timeouts

Both CI runs on #1407 died at the 5-minute watchdog (SIGKILL, exit 137)
with the test process fully idle. Root cause was a pair of issues in
FragmentationTests:

- "Max-sized file transfer survives reassembly" injected an UNSIGNED
  broadcast file from an unknown peer, which the new broadcast
  signature gate now drops by design. Sign the packet and preseed the
  sender's signing key, mirroring the public-message reassembly tests.

- CaptureDelegate's wait helpers could never time out: the timeout task
  threw, but withThrowingTaskGroup then awaited the sibling child that
  was parked in a non-cancellable withCheckedContinuation, deadlocking
  the whole run (hang instead of a 5s failure). Resume the parked
  continuation from a cancellation handler so timeouts now fail fast.

35fb9fdd42 Fix received DM images stuck as grey box: stamp incoming media delivered, reveal tap as Button (#1402)
* Make image tap-to-reveal a Button so the DM sheet can't swallow it

Received images in a DM rendered as a grey "tap to reveal" box that
never revealed: the DM sheet wraps the whole conversation in a
high-priority swipe-to-close DragGesture (ContentSheetViews), and an
ancestor high-priority gesture starves descendant TapGestures — the
image's reveal/open tap never fired. Button actions survive that
suppression (the sheet's own header buttons work for the same reason),
so the tap now lives on a plain-style Button wrapping the image;
swipe-to-hide stays attached as a simultaneous gesture.

Fixes #1388

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Move the cancel control out of the reveal Button

Nested buttons don't get reliable independent hit testing, and the
outer reveal tap is a no-op while sending, so the in-flight cancel x
could become untappable. The cancel overlay now sits on the Button
rather than inside its label.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Root cause: received media stuck in .sending — grey box, dead tap

Field testing showed the Button conversion alone didn't fix #1388: a
received DM image still rendered as a flat grey box with a dead tap.
The real culprit is BitchatMessage's initializer, which defaults every
private message without an explicit status to `.sending`.
BLEFileTransferHandler built incoming media messages without one, so
every received private image/voice note was permanently "sending":
mediaSendState returned progress 0 → BlockRevealMask rendered 0% of
the image (the flat grey box is the blur overlay over an empty mask),
and the reveal tap was disabled by the isSending guard — regardless of
which gesture carried it.

Two layers:
- BLEFileTransferHandler now stamps incoming private media
  `.delivered(to: <local nickname>, at: <packet time>)`, matching the
  received-text path in ChatPrivateConversationCoordinator.
- MediaMessageView treats received messages as never-sending, so no
  other construction path can reproduce the grey-box state.

3e9230229d Heal peer-ID rotation: rebind link on verified announce, retire ghost peer (#1401)
* Heal peer-ID rotation: rebind link on verified announce, retire ghost

When a peer relaunches it rotates its ephemeral peer ID, but a
still-open BLE connection kept its stale peripheral/central→peerID
binding for the reachability retention window (~45-60s). Until it aged
out, the other side showed a duplicate ghost peer and dropped the
rotated peer's direct announces as spoofing attempts.

Root cause: the ingress guard rejected a direct announce whose claimed
sender differed from the link binding before signature verification
could ever see it, so the binding could never heal.

- Ingress guard: let a mismatched direct announce through, attributed
  to the claimed sender; REQUEST_SYNC keeps the strict binding check.
- Bind sites: raw (pre-verification) announces may only bind unbound
  links, never rebind bound ones — rebinding now requires the announce
  handler's signature verification to pass.
- On a verified direct announce whose ingress link is bound to a
  different peer, rebind the link to the announced ID and retire the
  rotated-away ID immediately (registry + gossip + UI), mirroring
  handleLeave.
- BLELinkStateStore.bindPeripheral: drop the previous peer's reverse
  mapping on rebind so the retired ID no longer claims the link.

Fixes #1387

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Contain forged-directness rebinds: no identity steal, per-link cooldown

The announce signature does not authenticate directness (TTL is
excluded from signing because relays mutate it), so a bound peer could
replay another peer's fresh signed announce with its TTL restored and
reach the rotation rebind path. Contain what such a replay can do:

- Refuse a rebind when the claimed identity already owns another live
  link — a replayed announce can no longer steal a connected peer's
  binding or route its directed traffic to the replaying link.
- Allow at most one rebind per link per cooldown window (60s) so two
  identities cannot fight over a link in a replay flip-flop, with each
  flip retiring the other peer.

A replay against an identity with no live link remains possible, but
that capability already exists today on unbound links, where any raw
direct announce binds pre-verification.

78a291ab77 Public-mesh push-to-talk: signed live voice bursts in the mesh channel (#1406)
* Live push-to-talk voice for DMs: stream while you talk, voice note as fallback

Holding the mic in a DM now streams AAC frames live over the Noise session
(walkie-talkie style, ~0.5s mouth-to-ear at one hop) while recording the same
audio as a normal voice note. On release the note ships through the existing
fileTransfer pipeline; receivers that heard the live stream absorb it silently
into the same bubble (matched by the burst ID embedded in the file name), so
reliability comes for free and nobody sees duplicates.

Protocol:
- NoisePayloadType.voiceFrame = 0x08 carrying VoiceBurstPacket
  (burstID + seq + START/data/END/CANCELED, length-prefixed AAC frames)
- 210-byte burst-content budget keeps each Noise packet inside the 256-byte
  padding bucket: one BLE frame, never the fragment scheduler
- fire-and-forget: frames are dropped (never queued) without an established
  session; live is only offered when the peer is mesh-reachable

Receive:
- ChatLiveVoiceCoordinator assembles bursts (jitter-ordered, 0.5s gap skip,
  3s idle end, flood/size caps), persists progressively as ADTS .aac so even
  a partial burst is a replayable bubble
- live autoplay only when the conversation is on screen, app active, and the
  new app-info "live voice messages" toggle is on (also gates live sending)
- one-playback-at-a-time via a shared ExclusivePlayback slot

Capture:
- PTTCaptureEngine taps AVAudioEngine, dual-encodes: live AAC frames + the
  finalized .m4a (same 16kHz/mono/16kbps settings as VoiceRecorder)
- VoiceRecordingViewModel now drives a pluggable VoiceCaptureSession; the
  composer HUD shows a pulsing LIVE treatment when streaming

Includes the push-to-talk design doc, 6 new localization keys across all 29
locales, and unit tests for framing, packetizer budget, ADTS output, codec
round-trip, and the assembly/absorb lifecycle. Public-mesh PTT (MessageType
0x29) lands separately on top of this.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Public-mesh push-to-talk: signed live voice bursts in the mesh channel

Extends live PTT from DMs to the public mesh timeline. Holding the mic in
the mesh channel now broadcasts the burst live as signed voiceFrame packets
(MessageType 0x29) while the finalized voice note still ships on release —
new clients hear you as you speak and absorb the note silently into the live
bubble; old clients (and late joiners) keep receiving the note exactly as
before, so mixed-version meshes lose nothing.

Wire/relay:
- MessageType.voiceFrame = 0x29: ephemeral signed broadcast, never
  gossip-synced (SyncTypeFlags maps it to no bit), never padded (padding to
  the 512 block would push every ~490-byte signed packet into fragmentation)
- RelayController treats voiceFrame like media fragments: dense-graph TTL
  clamp contains the sustained ~15 pkt/s per-talker stream, tight 8-25 ms
  jitter keeps multi-hop latency inside the receiver's 350 ms jitter buffer
- inbound gate mirrors public messages: broadcast-only, 30 s freshness cap,
  packet signature verified against the claimed sender's announce before any
  audio reaches the UI

App:
- ChatLiveVoiceCoordinator gains burst scopes: public bubbles land in the
  mesh timeline, autoplay only while that timeline is on screen, and the
  finalized-note absorb is scope-bound (a public note can't replace a DM
  burst or vice versa)
- floor courtesy: while someone talks live in the public channel the
  composer mic tints red and pulses, with an accessibility value naming the
  talker ("%@ is speaking", localized in all 29 locales); holding still
  works — a decentralized mesh has no floor arbiter, the tint just
  discourages talk-over

Tests: relay policy (sparse cap + dense clamp), public bubble + talker
indicator lifecycle, note absorption into the mesh store, and scope-binding
rejection; full suite green (1382 tests).

* PTT follow-ups from review + field test: peer-ID normalization, toggle gates inbound, drop-path diagnostics

Codex review fixes (#1403):
- makeVoiceCaptureSession normalizes the selected peer with toShort() before
  the reachability/session checks and binds the send target to that same
  routing ID — a conversation selected under the stable 64-hex Noise key no
  longer silently falls back to a classic note while the short-ID session is
  established
- the live-voice toggle now gates inbound bursts too: off means
  classic-notes-only in both directions (no live bubble, partial file, or
  early notification; the finalized note still arrives), with a test

Field-test diagnostics (first device run: DM frames decrypted but no bubble
appeared, with no log evidence of which guard dropped them):
- coordinator logs undecodable frames (size + hex prefix) and blocked drops
- makeAssembly logs directory/file-handle failures instead of returning nil
  silently
- PTTLiveVoiceSession logs capture start and finish (packet/frame/duration
  counts); PTTCaptureEngine logs engine start success/failure with the input
  format; BLEService.sendVoiceFrame logs no-session drops

* Fix iPhone live-capture failure: dead input unit (AURemoteIO -10851, 0 Hz)

Field testing showed the phone's live capture failing at mic enable with
AURemoteIO -10851 and an input format of 0 Hz / 2 ch — an input unit bound
to an earlier (playback-only or settling) audio session. The Mac, which has
no session lifecycle, captured fine, which is why public bursts from the Mac
worked while phone-side sends degraded from working (first hold) to sporadic
to dead across holds.

Three layers of defense:
- PTTCaptureEngine recreates its AVAudioEngine on every start(), after the
  session is configured, so the input unit binds to the session that is
  active now; a dead input (0 Hz or 0 channels) is now a distinct, logged
  error instead of a silent setup failure
- PTTLiveVoiceSession retries the capture start once after a 150 ms
  route-settle pause
- VoiceRecordingViewModel falls back to the classic VoiceRecorder within the
  same hold if the live engine still cannot start — a route glitch now costs
  the live stream, never the voice note

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Blue mic when the hold will stream live

The mic button now shows readiness at a glance — and doubles as a build
marker for device testing:
- blue: holding will stream live (DM peer reachable with an established
  Noise session, or the public mesh channel)
- accent (orange in DMs): holding records a classic voice note (no session
  yet, peer unreachable, or live voice toggled off)
- red states unchanged (recording, floor busy)

Refactors capture-backend selection into a single liveVoiceTarget() so the
indicator and makeVoiceCaptureSession can never disagree.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Revert the blue live-ready mic to the normal accent color

The build-verification marker did its job; idle mic color goes back to the
accent. The LIVE recording HUD remains the signal for whether a hold is
streaming. Keeps the liveVoiceTarget() refactor so backend selection stays
in one place.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Leave a trace on every mic press and every inbound-frame drop

Field testing read "tap does nothing" as breakage: the mic start is async
(permission check + engine spin-up), so releasing before recording begins
has always been a silent cancel — for classic voice notes too. Every press
now logs which backend it chose and, for quick presses, that it released
before recording started.

Also logs the two remaining silent drops: inbound voice frames rejected by
the live-voice toggle (the one unlogged guard left in the receive path) and
the classic-note fallback now includes the toggle state.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Fix mic hold dying instantly in DMs: sheet swipe gesture starved the composer

Field logs showed every DM mic hold ending 3-10 ms after it began, on both
platforms, while public-channel holds worked — the private sheet wraps its
entire content (composer included) in a high-priority swipe-right-to-leave
DragGesture, and a high-priority ancestor drag cancels the mic button's
press-and-hold within milliseconds. Same starvation mechanism as the DM
image-reveal bug (#1402), hitting a drag instead of a tap.

The swipe-to-leave gesture now lives on the message list only, so the
composer's gestures (mic hold, text field, buttons) are out of its reach and
the swipe still works where users actually swipe.

Also stops touching the capture engine when a hold cancels before the engine
ever started: probing inputNode on a never-started engine instantiates its
input unit against whatever session is active and spams benign-but-alarming
AURemoteIO -10851 errors into field logs.

* App info: flow HOW TO USE into one paragraph; "list" and "person" wording

The six how-to-use bullets now read as a single comma-separated paragraph
(same instruction strings, legacy bullet prefix stripped at render). Two
wording updates across all 29 locales: the people icon opens the "list"
(not "sidebar"), and you tap a "person's" name (not a "peer's") to start
a DM.
