Fill missing Spanish (es) translations for feature + UI strings

Add es localizations for the 138 string keys that had an en entry but no
es entry, so Spanish-language devices no longer render raw dot-keys.
Covers bulletin/legend, network topology, groups, gateway, media/image,
voice notes, delivery, payment, vouching, and mesh system messages.
Format specifiers, plural substitutions, punctuation, and the app's
lowercase aesthetic are preserved.

 # bitchat Privacy Policy
 
-*Last updated: July 2026*
+*Last updated: June 2026*
 
 ## Our Commitment
 
-bitchat is designed for private, account-free communication. This policy describes what the app keeps on your device, what it sends when you use mesh or optional internet features, and how long local data can remain.
+bitchat is designed with privacy as its foundation. We believe private communication is a fundamental human right. This policy explains how bitchat protects your privacy.
 
 ## Summary
 
-- **No project-operated accounts or messaging servers** — Bluetooth mesh is peer-to-peer; optional internet features use public or user-selected Nostr relays.
-- **No analytics, advertising, telemetry, or tracking** — the app does not contain an analytics or advertising SDK.
-- **No sale of data** — the project does not sell user data or build advertising profiles.
-- **Open source** — the storage, networking, and cryptography described here can be inspected in the source code.
+- **No personal data collection** - We don't collect names, emails, or phone numbers
+- **No accounts or company servers** - Mesh chat works peer-to-peer; optional Nostr features use public or user-selected relays
+- **No tracking** - We have no analytics, telemetry, or user tracking
+- **Open source** - You can verify these claims by reading our code
 
-## What bitchat Stores on Your Device
+## What Information bitchat Stores
 
-1. **Identity and cryptographic keys**
-   - Noise, signing, group, prekey, and optional Nostr identity material is generated locally.
-   - Secret keys are stored in the system keychain as device-only items. Public keys are shared when required for messaging, verification, groups, or Nostr events.
-   - Keys remain until they are rotated, removed by the relevant feature, or erased with panic wipe. Because operating-system keychains can outlive an uninstall, bitchat records a non-secret install marker and deletes surviving app keys before use after a later reinstall.
+### On Your Device Only
 
-2. **Nickname, preferences, and relationships**
-   - Your nickname, settings, favorites, petnames, read-receipt identifiers, and bounded operational metadata are stored locally.
-   - The share extension can retain one item you choose to share in the app-group preferences for up to 24 hours. The app shows the destination and a preview for review; it does not send the item automatically. The item is cleared when you add it to the composer, cancel, panic-wipe, or it expires.
+1. **Identity Keys**
+   - Cryptographic private keys generated on first launch or when optional Nostr identities are created
+   - Stored locally in your device's secure storage
+   - Allows you to maintain "favorite" relationships across app restarts
+   - Private keys never leave your device; public keys are shared when needed for messaging
 
-3. **Private group state**
-   - Group names, rosters, creator identity, and key epoch are stored as protected files in Application Support.
-   - Current group keys are stored in the keychain. Group state remains until you leave or remove the group, panic-wipe the app, or remove the app.
+2. **Nickname**
+   - The display name you choose (or auto-generated)
+   - Stored only on your device
+   - Shared with peers you communicate with
 
-4. **Queued and carried private messages**
-   - An outgoing private message that has not been acknowledged may remain for up to 24 hours in a bounded, encrypted outbox. The outbox is sealed with ChaCha20-Poly1305 and its key is stored in the keychain.
-   - A device acting as a courier may store a bounded opaque end-to-end encrypted envelope for another user for up to 24 hours. The courier cannot read its message content.
-   - A panic wipe deletes both stores.
+3. **Message History** (if enabled)
+   - When room owners enable retention, messages are saved locally
+   - Stored encrypted on your device
+   - You can delete this at any time
 
-5. **Recent public mesh messages and notices**
-   - Signed public mesh messages may be kept in a protected local gossip archive for up to 15 minutes so they can cross mesh partitions and survive a short relaunch.
-   - Public bulletin-board posts and deletion tombstones persist until the post's author-selected expiry, at most seven days. Both stores are bounded and panic-wipeable.
-   - These items are public to the mesh or board where they are posted; they are not confidential messages.
+4. **Favorite Peers**
+   - Public keys of peers you mark as favorites
+   - Stored only on your device
+   - Allows you to recognize these peers in future sessions
 
-6. **Media attachments**
-   - Voice notes and images you send or receive can be stored under Application Support so they remain playable while referenced by the app.
-   - Incoming media is subject to a 100 MB quota with oldest-file eviction. Media is deleted by panic wipe or app removal; some outgoing media can otherwise remain on disk.
+5. **Optional Location Channel State**
+   - Your selected geohash channel, bookmarked geohashes, teleport flags, and bookmark display names
+   - Stored locally on your device so the location-channel UI can restore your choices
+   - Per-geohash Nostr identities are derived locally from a device seed stored in secure storage
+   - Exact latitude and longitude are not persisted by bitchat
 
-7. **Optional location-channel state**
-   - Your selected geohash channel, bookmarks, teleport flags, and bookmark display names are stored locally so the UI can restore them.
-   - Per-geohash Nostr identities are derived locally from a device seed stored in the keychain.
-   - bitchat does not persist exact latitude or longitude and does not include exact coordinates in mesh or Nostr messages.
+### Temporary Session Data
 
-## Temporary Session Data
+During each session, bitchat temporarily maintains:
+- Active peer connections (forgotten when app closes)
+- Routing information for message delivery
+- Cached messages for offline peers (12 hours max)
+- Your current location while optional location channels are enabled, used locally to compute geohash channels and friendly place names
 
-While running, bitchat maintains active connections, routing state, deduplication state, and bounded in-memory conversation timelines. Closing the app clears the in-memory timelines and active connections, but it does not erase the persistent stores listed above.
+## What Information is Shared
 
-## What Is Shared
+### With Other bitchat Users
 
-### With Nearby Mesh Users
+When you use bitchat, nearby peers can see:
+- Your chosen nickname
+- Your ephemeral public key (changes each session)
+- Messages you send to public rooms or directly to them
+- Your approximate Bluetooth signal strength (for connection quality)
 
-Depending on the feature you use, nearby peers can receive:
+### With Room Members
 
-- Your chosen nickname and public Noise/signing identity material.
-- Announce metadata such as supported capability flags and a bounded list of short direct-neighbor identifiers. When the bridge is enabled, an announce can also include its coarse rendezvous geohash cell.
-- Public mesh messages, public notices, and group-control packets you intentionally send.
-- Private ciphertext addressed to them, or opaque courier ciphertext they agree to carry.
-- Radio metadata available to the receiver, such as approximate Bluetooth signal strength.
+When you join a password-protected room:
+- Your messages are visible to others with the password
+- Your nickname appears in the member list
+- Room owners can see you've joined
 
-Noise identity keys can persist across sessions; do not treat them as anonymous identifiers. Panic wipe rotates local identity state.
+### With Nostr Relays (Optional Features)
 
-### With Private Group Members
+If you enable Nostr-backed features:
+- Private fallback messages to mutual favorites are sent as encrypted NIP-17 gift wraps. Relays can see event metadata, but not message content.
+- Public location-channel messages, location notes, and presence are scoped with geohash tags. Relays and other participants can see the geohash tag, event kind, timestamp, and public key used for that geohash.
+- Exact GPS coordinates are not included in Nostr events by bitchat. The geohash precision you choose can still reveal an approximate area, from region-level to building-level.
+- Automatic presence heartbeats are limited to low-precision geohashes (region, province, and city). More precise geohash posts happen only when you use those channels or location notes.
 
-Private group members receive the group's name, roster, key epoch, and encrypted group traffic needed to participate. Group messages are confidential to devices holding the current group key, subject to the security of those devices and members.
+## What We DON'T Do
 
-### With Nostr Relays and Internet Gateways
+bitchat **never**:
+- Collects personal information
+- Sells or shares your exact GPS location
+- Stores data on servers we operate
+- Sells your data to advertisers or data brokers
+- Uses analytics or telemetry
+- Creates user profiles
+- Requires registration
 
-Internet-backed features are optional. When enabled or used:
+## Encryption
 
-- Private fallback messages use encrypted NIP-17 gift wraps. Relays can observe event and network metadata but not the message plaintext.
-- Public location-channel messages, notes, notices, and presence include a geohash tag, event kind, timestamp, and a public key. A geohash reveals an approximate area; finer precision reveals a smaller area.
-- The optional mesh bridge publishes bridge-enabled public mesh messages and presence to a neighborhood rendezvous cell. Those messages are public to participants and relays for that cell. A per-message “nearby only” choice prevents that message from crossing the bridge.
-- Bridge courier drops contain opaque end-to-end encrypted envelopes and a rotating recipient tag. Relays still observe timing and network metadata.
-- A device with gateway features enabled may relay signed bridge/location traffic or opaque courier envelopes for nearby mesh devices.
+All private messages use end-to-end encryption:
+- **X25519** for key exchange
+- **AES-256-GCM** for message encryption
+- **Ed25519** for digital signatures
+- **Argon2id** for password-protected rooms
 
-Nostr relays are operated by third parties. Their retention, logging, availability, and privacy practices are outside the project's control. Public events and encrypted events may remain on relays according to each relay's policy.
+## Your Rights
 
-## Location and Apple Services
+You have complete control:
+- **Delete Local State**: Triple-tap the logo to instantly wipe local keys, sessions, caches, and preferences
+- **Leave Anytime**: Close the app and local presence stops; relay-backed presence ages out
+- **No Account**: No account record exists for you to delete from us
+- **Portability**: Your local state stays on your device unless you send messages, use optional relay-backed features, or export it
 
-Location permission is optional and requested as when-in-use access. It is used to compute geohash channels, bridge rendezvous cells, and nearby place labels.
+## Bluetooth & Permissions
 
-- Exact coordinates are not included in bitchat mesh or Nostr payloads and are not persisted by bitchat.
-- A selected geohash can still reveal an approximate area to peers and relays.
-- When bitchat asks the operating system for a friendly place name, Apple's `CLGeocoder` service may process the location under Apple's privacy terms.
-- Revoking location permission stops live location sampling. Saved bookmarks remain until you remove them, panic-wipe the app, or remove the app.
+bitchat requires Bluetooth permission to function:
+- Used only for peer-to-peer communication
+- Bluetooth is not used for tracking
+- You can revoke this permission at any time in system settings
 
-## Microphone, Camera, and Media Permissions
+## Location Permission
 
-- Microphone access is used only while you record a voice note or actively hold live push-to-talk. The resulting audio is sent to the mesh conversation you selected; public-conversation audio is public to that mesh, while private-conversation audio uses the private transport protections described below.
-- Voice-note and live-audio files can remain in Application Support under the media retention rules above.
-- Camera access is used to scan peer-verification QR codes. Photo-library access is used when you choose an image to send.
-- These permissions can be revoked in system settings. bitchat does not record microphone or camera input while the related capture UI is inactive.
-
-## Cryptography
-
-Private and public features use different protections:
-
-- Mesh private sessions use Noise XX with X25519, ChaCha20-Poly1305, and SHA-256.
-- Private group messages use ChaCha20-Poly1305; group state and relevant mesh packets use Ed25519 signatures.
-- Nostr events use secp256k1 Schnorr signatures. NIP-44 v2 private payloads use secp256k1 key agreement, HKDF-SHA256, and XChaCha20-Poly1305.
-- The persistent private-message outbox uses ChaCha20-Poly1305 with a key held in the keychain. Some other protected local identity state uses AES-GCM.
-- Public mesh, bridge, geohash, and board content is signed or authenticated as appropriate but is intentionally not confidential.
-
-No cryptographic system can protect content after a recipient reads, copies, screenshots, or exports it.
-
-## Data Retention Summary
-
-- **In-memory chat timelines and active connections:** until the app closes or state is cleared.
-- **Queued outgoing private messages:** until acknowledged, dropped by bounded policy, or 24 hours, whichever comes first.
-- **Opaque courier envelopes:** until handed off, evicted by bounded policy, or 24 hours, whichever comes first.
-- **Recent public mesh gossip:** up to 15 minutes.
-- **Public board posts and tombstones:** until expiry, at most seven days.
-- **Groups, favorites, preferences, identity keys, bookmarks, and media:** until removed by the feature, panic wipe, quota eviction where applicable, or app removal.
-- **Nostr data:** according to the policies of the relays that receive it.
-
-## Your Controls
-
-- **Panic wipe:** Triple-tap the logo to synchronously cancel in-flight media work and clear local keys, sessions, preferences, groups, queues, carried mail, public archives, board data, and media managed by the app.
-- **Feature controls:** Location channels, mesh bridge, internet gateway, and related internet behaviors can be disabled in the app. Some already-published relay data cannot be recalled.
-- **System permissions:** Bluetooth, location, microphone, camera, and photo-library access can be revoked in system settings.
-- **No account:** The project operates no account record for you to request or export.
-
-## What the Project Does Not Do
-
-bitchat does not:
-
-- Operate an account database or project-owned messaging backend.
-- Include advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs.
-- Sell user data or create advertising profiles.
-- Include exact GPS coordinates in bitchat mesh or Nostr message payloads.
+Location permission is optional and is used only for location channels:
+- Used to compute local geohash channels and display names
+- Requested as when-in-use permission
+- Exact coordinates are not shared in messages or stored by bitchat
+- Selected and bookmarked geohashes may persist locally until you remove them, use panic wipe, or delete the app
+- You can revoke this permission at any time in system settings
 
 ## Children's Privacy
 
-The project does not knowingly operate a service that collects children's personal data. The app has no account registration or age-verification system. Users and guardians should understand that public mesh, board, bridge, and location-channel posts are visible to other participants and may be relayed.
+bitchat does not knowingly collect information from children. The app has no age verification because it collects no personal information from anyone.
+
+## Data Retention
+
+- **Messages**: Deleted from memory when app closes (unless room retention is enabled)
+- **Identity Key**: Persists until you delete the app
+- **Favorites**: Persist until you remove them or delete the app
+- **Location channel choices**: Selected/bookmarked geohashes persist locally until removed, panic-wiped, or the app is deleted
+- **Nostr relay data**: Public geohash events and encrypted gift wraps may be retained by relays according to each relay's policy
+- **Everything Else**: Exists only during active sessions
+
+## Security Measures
+
+- All communication is encrypted
+- No accounts or company servers
+- Optional Nostr relays receive only the events needed for Nostr-backed private fallback or public location channels
+- Open source code for public audit
+- Regular security updates
+- Cryptographic signatures prevent tampering
 
 ## Changes to This Policy
 
-Material behavior changes will be reflected in this document and its “Last updated” date. Updating this policy cannot retroactively retrieve data that remained only on a user's device.
+If we update this policy:
+- The "Last updated" date will change
+- The updated policy will be included in the app
+- No retroactive changes can make us collect data already held only in your app

 ### Option 1: Using Xcode
 
-```bash
-open bitchat.xcodeproj
-```
+   ```bash
+   cd bitchat
+   open bitchat.xcodeproj
+   ```
 
-For a signed device build, create your ignored local configuration and replace
-the example team ID with your Apple Developer Team ID:
-
-```bash
-cp Configs/Local.xcconfig.example Configs/Local.xcconfig
-```
-
-`Local.xcconfig.example` derives unique app and App Group identifiers from that
-team ID. The entitlement files already reference `$(APP_GROUP_ID)`, so tracked
-project or entitlement files do not need to be edited.
-
-Useful command-line checks from the repository root:
-
-```bash
-# macOS Debug build without signing
-xcodebuild -project bitchat.xcodeproj -scheme "bitchat (macOS)" \
-  -configuration Debug CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build
-
-# Full SwiftPM test suite
-swift test
-
-# iOS simulator tests
-xcodebuild -project bitchat.xcodeproj -scheme "bitchat (iOS)" \
-  -sdk iphonesimulator \
-  -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17' test
-```
-
-If `iPhone 17` is unavailable, choose an installed simulator from:
-
-```bash
-xcodebuild -showdestinations -project bitchat.xcodeproj -scheme "bitchat (iOS)"
-```
+   To run on a device there're a few steps to prepare the code:
+   - Clone the local configs: `cp Configs/Local.xcconfig.example Configs/Local.xcconfig`
+   - Add your Developer Team ID into the newly created `Configs/Local.xcconfig`
+      - Bundle ID would be set to `chat.bitchat.<team_id>` (unless you set to something else)
+   - Entitlements need to be updated manually (TODO: Automate):
+      - Search and replace `group.chat.bitchat` with `group.<your_bundle_id>` (e.g. `group.chat.bitchat.ABC123`)
 
 ### Option 2: Using `just`
 
-```bash
-brew install just
-just check
-just run
-```
+   ```bash
+   brew install just
+   ```
 
-`just build` and `just run` use the current `bitchat (macOS)` scheme and keep
-Xcode output in the ignored `.DerivedData/` directory. They never patch source,
-project, configuration, or entitlement files.
-
-`just clean` removes only `.DerivedData/` and `.build/`. It does not invoke Git
-or restore tracked files, so uncommitted work is preserved. `just test` runs the
-SwiftPM suite and `just test-ios` runs the iPhone 17 simulator suite.
+Want to try this on macos: `just run` will set it up and run from source.
+Run `just clean` afterwards to restore things to original state for mobile app building and development.
 
 ## Localization
 
-- App localizations live in `bitchat/Localizable.xcstrings`.
-- Share extension strings are separate in `bitchatShareExtension/Localization/Localizable.xcstrings`.
+- Base app resources live under `bitchat/Localization/Base.lproj/`. Add new copy to `Localizable.strings` and plural rules to `Localizable.stringsdict`.
+- Share extension strings are separate in `bitchatShareExtension/Localization/Base.lproj/Localizable.strings`.
 - Prefer keys that describe intent (`app_info.features.offline.title`) and reuse existing ones where possible.
 - Run `xcodebuild -project bitchat.xcodeproj -scheme "bitchat (macOS)" -configuration Debug CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build` to compile-check any localization updates.

-/// Sole owner of `AVAudioSession` category/activation for voice features.
-///
-/// Talk-over means capture (push-to-talk) and playback (inbound bursts,
-/// voice notes) can be live simultaneously; letting each engine configure
-/// the shared session directly made them stomp each other's category and
-/// route mid-flight (the AURemoteIO -10851 dead-input class). Instead every
-/// client acquires a `Token` and the coordinator:
-///
-/// - reference-counts activation: `setActive(true)` only on the first
-///   holder, `setActive(false, notifyOthersOnDeactivation:)` only when the
-///   last one releases — no client can deactivate another's session;
-/// - keeps one escalating category: playback-only holders get `.playback`,
-///   any capture holder escalates to `.playAndRecord`, and the category is
-///   never downgraded while anyone still holds a token (capture ending must
-///   not yank the route out from under live playback);
-/// - fans out `onInterrupted` on system interruptions and when the active
-///   route's device disappears (no auto-resume: bursts are transient, the
-///   next press or burst simply re-acquires). The escalating category change
-///   fans out separately as `onCategoryEscalated` — the session stays live,
-///   so holders that can rebuild their engine against the new configuration
-///   keep playing (talk-over is bidirectional); holders that don't provide
-///   it fall back to `onInterrupted`.
-///
-/// Threading: all state lives on a private serial queue, which both
-/// serializes rapid acquire/release pairs and keeps the blocking session IPC
-/// off the main thread (`acquire` is `async` for exactly that hop; `release`
-/// is fire-and-forget onto the queue). Holder callbacks always run on the
-/// main actor.
-///
-/// Microphone *permission* queries stay with their callers; this type owns
-/// only category and activation.
-///
