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

* feat(tor): Tor-by-default scaffold and integration
- Add TorManager with static/dlopen start, torrc generation, SOCKS probe
- Add TorURLSession; route Nostr/Web fetches via SOCKS proxy
- Add chat system messages for Tor status; show progress (macOS) and ready
- Disable ControlPort bootstrap monitor on iOS; keep it on macOS
- Make Tor waits non-blocking; avoid main-actor stalls on startup
- Queue & flush Nostr subscriptions on relay connect; skip duplicates
- Always rewrite torrc at launch to fix iOS container path mismatches
- Link libz; add project wiring for tor-nolzma.xcframework
- Minor fixes: SOCKS probe resumeOnce guard, entitlement for network.server (macOS)
* iOS: deterministic Tor recovery + 100% gating; BLE-first; session rebuild
- Restart/wake Tor on foreground via ControlPort (ACTIVE/SHUTDOWN),
avoid restarts during bootstrap; add NWPathMonitor to trigger checks
- Use NWConnection control polling for GETINFO; remove blocking CFStream
readers to avoid QoS inversions; compute readiness from SOCKS + 100%
- Rebuild TorURLSession on resume; reset Nostr connections to rebind
- Gate all internet after full bootstrap; keep BLE mesh startup fast
- Fix Swift 6 capture issues; hop UI updates to @MainActor
- Remove Tor progress spam; persist initial "starting tor..." system message
* UI: show Tor system messages only in geohash channels (not mesh)
- Gate "starting tor..." and readiness/timeout messages to geohash view
- Add helper addGeohashOnlySystemMessage() to avoid posting to mesh timeline
- Persist system messages in geohash backing store via addPublicSystemMessage()
* Relays: treat repeated -1011 handshake failures as permanent; skip reconnects
- Classify NSURLErrorBadServerResponse as permanent and stop retrying
- Filter permanently-failed relays from subscribe/connect attempts
- Avoid reconnect scheduling for permanently failed relays
* Embed Tor via tor_api; deterministic restart + Nostr gating; add Tor notifications
- Run Tor via tor_api in a dedicated thread with OwningControllerFD
- Cleanly stop Tor on background; restart on .active (single instance)
- Avoid fallback to tor_main/dlopen; add is-running check to prevent duplicates
- Fix argv lifetime in C glue to avoid strcmp crash on start
- Gate Nostr connect/subscribe/send until Tor is fully ready
- Rebuild URLSession + reset relays after Tor readiness (scene-based)
- Remove TorDidBecomeReady double-reset and appDidBecomeActive resubscribe
- Add TorWillRestart/TorDidBecomeReady notifications and chat system messages
- Debounce path-change restarts; ACTIVE poke first; coalesce subs; cancel stale reconnect timers
- Project: add CTorHost.c and TorNotifications.swift to targets; fix libz.tbd path
* Defer Nostr setup logs until Tor is ready; fix subscribe coalescing and reconnect generation
- Move "Connecting to Nostr relays" log after awaitReady()
- Log "Queuing subscription" when Tor not ready; only coalesce when handler exists
- Clear coalescer on unsubscribe
- Cancel stale reconnect timers using connectionGeneration
- Remove app-level TorDidBecomeReady reset to avoid duplicate reconnects
- Debounce path-change restarts
* Gate Nostr init/subscription logs until Tor is ready
- ChatViewModel: await Tor readiness before initializing Nostr and logging
- Only log GeoDM subscription when Tor is ready to avoid early noise
* Make Nostr connect single-sourced; defer DM subscription until connected
- Remove duplicate connect call from ChatViewModel; let scene-based flow connect
- Setup DM subscription once on first connection via sink
- Reduce early subscription send/cancel noise after Tor restarts
* On launch, queue Nostr subscriptions without initiating connects; let centralized connect handle it
- In subscribe(), if no connections exist, just list relays and queue subs
- Avoids early send/cancel churn before connect() runs post-Tor-ready
* Always queue subscriptions and flush on connection; avoid immediate sends
- Prevents early send/cancel churn at launch and during reconnects
- If relays are already connected, flush immediately; otherwise pending until connected
* UI: scope Tor restart messages to geohash channels; skip initial foreground restart on cold launch to avoid confusing system message in #mesh
* geo: disable background sampling + notifications\n- Gate sampling to foreground only (beginGeohashSampling, watchers)\n- Suppress geohash activity notifications unless app is active\n- Stop sampling explicitly on background scene phase
* Update BitchatApp.swift

* Screenshot privacy: warn on location sheet; gate screenshot broadcasts to chat only\n\n- Track sheet presentation in ChatViewModel\n- Show privacy alert when screenshot taken on location channels\n- Ignore screenshots for App Info and Location sheet for broadcast\n- ContentView wires sheet onAppear/onDisappear and presents alert\n- Fix location sheet subtitle wrapping: render as single Text to avoid orphaned bullets
* Fix duplicate messages after channel switch\n\n- Dedup on per-geohash append (skip if ID exists)\n- Dedup and sort timeline by timestamp when switching into a geohash\n- Keep content/layout unchanged; add lightweight debug logs for empty rows

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

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

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