52b57769e1 feat: adopt MaterialExpressiveTheme, and give shape, type and motion a named home
Phase 1, steps 3, 4 and 6 of docs/material-design-conformance.md. `TorchTheme` passed
`MaterialTheme` a colour scheme and a typography and nothing else, so shape and motion were
whatever the library defaulted to and there was nowhere to write down what any of it was
for.

**Expressive, by decision rather than by drift.** The plan deliberately left
`MaterialExpressiveTheme` vs `MaterialTheme` open, because it changes component defaults
app-wide and is a product call. Put to the product owner on 2026-09-08 and answered
expressive. The pinned material3 1.10.0-alpha05 ships the whole set -- `ButtonGroupKt`,
`SplitButtonKt`, `FloatingToolbarKt`, `LoadingIndicatorKt`, `ShortNavigationBarKt`,
`WideNavigationRail`, `MaterialShapesKt` -- and the tree already opts into
`ExperimentalMaterial3ExpressiveApi` in 66 places, so this makes explicit what the imports
had already assumed.

**All four slots are passed explicitly, and that is the point.**
`MaterialExpressiveTheme` defaults its colour scheme to `expressiveLightColorScheme()` and
its shapes and typography likewise -- Material's values, not this app's. Leaving any slot
to that default is the same class of accident as the twelve unassigned fixed roles fixed
two commits ago: it compiles, it renders, and it renders somebody else's design.

**No visual change on the screens checked, and that is worth stating rather than
assuming.** Measured on the API 36 emulator: the "Invite a Friend" button is byte-identical
before and after -- same fill `#4E5E8B`, same 357px box at the same y -- because the
expressive default for a `Button` at default size matches the baseline in this version.
What expressive actually buys is elsewhere: `LocalUsingExpressiveTheme` gating component
behaviour, the three increased shape steps, the fifteen `...Emphasized` type roles, and the
components phases 5 to 7 are built on.

**`MantraShapes` is baseline `Shapes()`, on evidence.** The corners hand-written across the
tree already land on the M3 scale --

    RoundedCornerShape(4.dp)   x3   = extraSmall
    RoundedCornerShape(12.dp)  x11  = medium
    RoundedCornerShape(16.dp)  x2   = large
    RoundedCornerShape(30.dp)  x1   ~ extraLarge (28dp)

-- so overriding the scale would restyle the app for no reason. What is wrong is that they
are literals, which is how the last one drifted two units off the scale and why none of
them can move per breakpoint later. `Shape.kt` documents the eight steps and what each is
for; migrating those seventeen call sites is a later phase, and this is what they migrate
onto. Declaring it explicitly rather than relying on the default gives the note somewhere
to live.

**`MotionScheme.expressive()` is wired and unused.** Nothing in the app animates today --
one `animateScrollToPage`, no `AnimatedVisibility`, no navigation transitions -- so this
buys nothing yet. It is here so that when the motion phase starts, every spec comes from
the scheme rather than from a literal `tween`, and the app's feel is one decision instead
of forty.

**`Type.kt` left `com.example.ui.theme`.** It has been declaring that package while living
under `press/mantra/compose/ui/theme/`, one of three namespaces holding live UI code in
this tree. The move is mechanical; the doc comment on it is not. It records what each type
family is *for* -- `display*` for a screen's identity, `headline*` for section tops,
`title*` for headers and list headlines, `body*` for anything read as a sentence, `label*`
for **component text only** -- because the audit's finding is not that the scale is wrong
but that 92 of 240 reads are `label*` while `display*` and `headline*` carry 9 between them
across 43 screens. A UI at one pitch. The file stays baseline; the rule now has a home for
the sweep that fixes the call sites.

**The desktop unlock screen renders in the app's theme for the first time.**
`PassphraseGate` sat in the `else` branch beside `MantraApp`, which applies `TorchTheme`
itself -- so the gate composed under the default `MaterialTheme` and its
`colorScheme.error` and `typography.headlineSmall` were baseline M3. It is the first screen
a desktop user sees. `TorchTheme` now wraps both branches.

That wraps the unlocked branch twice, deliberately. `MantraApp` keeps its own `TorchTheme`
because android and ios enter through it and would lose the theme entirely if it moved out;
a second application of identical values costs one `CompositionLocalProvider` composition.
The comment says so, since the redundancy looks like an oversight.

**Dynamic colour stays on, by decision.** Also put to the product owner: on Android 12+
`dynamicColor = true` wins unconditionally, so the six schemes are used only below Android
12, on ios and on desktop, and a modern phone paints the wallpaper palette. Answered keep
as-is. A comment on the selection in `TorchTheme` now says this outright, because otherwise
the next person to change `Color.kt` and see nothing happen on their phone will assume the
change did not work.

**Tests.** 926 pass, 586 jvm over 71 classes and 340 android over 43, unchanged -- this
commit adds no assertions, because what it changes is either a library default (nothing to
assert that the compiler does not) or a doc comment. `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid`
and `:composeApp:compileKotlinJvm` build, the debug apk installs and runs on emulator-5554
under the expressive theme, `m3-audit.sh --check` exits 0.

21d57eba54 feat: honour the platform's contrast setting, reaching four schemes that were dead code
Phase 1, step 2 of docs/material-design-conformance.md. `Color.kt` has carried medium-
and high-contrast variants of both themes since it was generated -- 156 colour values,
wired into `lightColorScheme`/`darkColorScheme` in `Theme.kt`, and never selected.
`TorchTheme` chose between `darkScheme` and `lightScheme` and nothing else, so a user who
turned contrast up in Accessibility settings got no change at all.

M3's accessibility foundation leads with *honour individuals*: "supporting varying
preferences and choices that allow individuals to address how their changing conditions,
individual knowledge, and varying needs are met." The work to do that was already done and
disconnected.

**The expect/actual boundary moved, because it was in the wrong place.** `themeColorScheme`
took four arguments and did two unrelated jobs -- decide the contrast-free light/dark
scheme, and decide whether to prefer a wallpaper palette. Adding contrast to it would have
meant passing six schemes across the boundary and repeating the selection table in three
actuals. It splits instead into `platformThemeContrast()` and `dynamicColorScheme()`, each
answering one narrow platform question, with the six-way table as a plain function
`appColorScheme(darkTheme, contrast)` in common code. `dynamicColorScheme` returns null
rather than falling back internally so the fallback stays in one place.

**Android reads the setting and listens for changes.** `UiModeManager.getContrast()` is
API 34; the app's minSdk is 26, so below that the answer is Standard. The float is snapped
to the nearest of the platform's three documented positions rather than matched exactly, so
a future finer-grained slider degrades to the closest scheme this app has instead of
falling back to Standard.

The `ContrastChangeListener` is the part that is easy to leave out and matters most. A
contrast change does not restart the activity and does not arrive as a `Configuration`
update, so without it the new setting would take effect on the next cold start -- which is
precisely the case the setting exists for. `context.mainExecutor` rather than
`ContextCompat.getMainExecutor`: it needs API 28, this branch is already gated on 34, and
composeApp does not declare androidx.core -- it only arrives transitively through
activity-compose, which is not a dependency to lean on.

**iOS observes the notification for the same reason** --
`UIAccessibilityDarkerSystemColorsEnabled` plus
`UIAccessibilityDarkerSystemColorsStatusDidChangeNotification`. It is a boolean, not a
slider, so iOS reports High or Standard and never Medium.

**Desktop is honest rather than complete.** Windows publishes high contrast as the
`win.highContrast.on` AWT desktop property and fires a property change when it is toggled,
so that path is real and live. macos "Increase contrast" and the linux desktop equivalents
do not reach AWT, and reading them means a native call per platform, so on those two the
answer is Standard and the file says so. This is the right place for a user-overridable
preference later; a desktop app cannot always see what the desktop was told.

**Verified on an emulator, at the pixel.** API 36, dynamic colour temporarily switched off
(see below for why that is necessary), sampling the `onPrimaryContainer` pixel of the "Skip
for now" label as `settings put secure contrast_level` moved:

    standard (0.0)   #848484     onPrimaryContainerLight
    medium   (0.5)   #A7A7A7     onPrimaryContainerLightMediumContrast
    high     (1.0)   #D0D0D0     onPrimaryContainerLightHighContrast

The three declared values exactly, and **the app was not restarted between them** -- only
the setting changed, four seconds apart. That is the listener working end to end. The probe
that switched dynamic colour off is reverted in this commit; the emulator's contrast_level
is back at 0.0.

**A finding that came out of the verification, and is not fixed here.** `TorchTheme`
defaults `dynamicColor = true`, and on Android 12+ dynamic colour wins unconditionally --
so on essentially every current Android device **none of the six schemes is used at all**
and the app renders in whatever the user's wallpaper produced. The first screenshot of this
session shows the onboarding screen in Material lavender; switching dynamic colour off
reveals the black-and-gold brand for the first time. Nobody on a modern Android has been
seeing this app's palette.

That is a product decision, not a conformance one, so it is recorded in the plan's "What
this plan does not cover" rather than changed. It does bound what this commit buys: on
Android 14+ with dynamic colour on, contrast is honoured by the platform anyway (the
`system_*` resources shift with it, confirmed on the same emulator -- buttons went
slate-blue to near-black navy). What this commit reaches is Android below 12, Android 12-13,
iOS, and desktop.

**Three new assertions.** `AppColorSchemeSelectionTest` covers the table itself, because its
failure mode is silent and specific: a scheme wired to the wrong cell still renders a
complete, plausible UI, and somebody who turns contrast up and gets the medium scheme back
cannot tell it apart from a high-contrast scheme that is not very high. It asserts each of
the six cells by identity, that all six are distinct objects (a copy-paste leaving two cells
on the same scheme would pass the first test only if it also mislabelled one), and that
`onSurface` on `surface` never *falls* as contrast rises -- the one direction that must
hold, and deliberately not the full monotonicity assertion that ColorSchemeContrastTest
explains is false.

**Not compiled: the iOS actual.** The ios targets are declared only on macos (see
docs/jvm-target.md), so `Theme.ios.kt` is written against the UIKit and Foundation bindings
rather than checked by a compiler. Its file comment says so. The android and jvm actuals of
the same two functions are compiled, and the android one is verified on a device.

**Tests.** 926 pass, 586 jvm over 71 classes and 340 android over 43, up from 920/583/337.
`:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid` and `:composeApp:compileKotlinJvm` build,
`m3-audit.sh --check` exits 0. The 54 existing `TorchTheme { }` call sites are untouched --
the new parameter is defaulted.

86c9628eee fix: assign every ColorScheme role, so no component can fall back to Material lavender
Phase 1, step 1 of docs/material-design-conformance.md. `Theme.kt` assigned 36 of the
49 roles `androidx.compose.material3.ColorScheme` declares. The other thirteen took
`lightColorScheme()`/`darkColorScheme()` defaults, and for twelve of them that default
is the Material baseline palette: `primaryFixed` -> `ColorLightTokens.PrimaryFixed` ->
`PaletteTokens.Primary90` -> **#EADDFF**. Lavender, in an app whose primary is
`#000000`, in both themes, in all six schemes.

Nothing in the tree reads a fixed role today, which is why nobody has seen it. That
also means it could not have been found by looking at the app -- it springs the first
time an expressive component reaches for one, and it will look like a rendering bug
rather than a missing assignment.

**The tones were computed, not chosen.** M3 defines the family by tone: `xFixed` =
tone 90, `xFixedDim` = 80, `onXFixed` = 10, `onXFixedVariant` = 30, and ColorLightTokens
and ColorDarkTokens carry identical values for all twelve -- theme-independence is what
"fixed" means. Tone is CIE L*, so for a chroma-0 palette a tone is exactly the sRGB grey
at that L*, and inverting L* -> Y -> sRGB reproduces this palette's own greys **to the
byte**:

    tone   0  #000000   primaryLight
    tone  10  #1B1B1B   primaryContainerLight, onSurfaceLight
    tone  20  #303030   onPrimaryDark, inverseSurfaceLight
    tone  40  #5E5E5E   inversePrimaryDark
    tone  80  #C6C6C6   primaryDark, inversePrimaryLight
    tone  90  #E2E2E2   onSurfaceDark, surfaceContainerHighestLight
    tone  95  #F1F1F1   inverseOnSurfaceLight
    tone 100  #FFFFFF   onPrimaryLight

Eight independent hits. The primary and tertiary palettes are the standard M3 neutral
tonal palette at chroma 0, so their fixed families are derived rather than invented.

**The secondary palette is gold at Lab hue 87.5 degrees, and its dark half is maximum
in-gamut chroma at that hue.** Generating tones off that ramp regenerates
`onSecondaryDark` (#3D2F00, tone 20) and `secondaryLight` (#745B00, tone 40) byte for
byte, which is what licenses using it for tones 10 (#241A00) and 30 (#584400).

Its tones 90 and 80 are **reused rather than regenerated**. The palette already ships
#FFDE82 at tone 90 (as `secondaryDark`) and the brand gold #EFBF04 at tone 80 (as
`secondaryContainer`, identical in light and dark -- someone hand-set it, no generator
emits that). Regenerating would have produced #FFDF99 and #F1C100: a second gold two
units from the one already on screen, indistinguishable in isolation and wrong beside
it. A near-duplicate brand colour is worse than none.

**Sanity check on the whole derivation.** The four ratios these families produce land
within 0.1 of M3's own baseline fixed family --

    onFixed on Fixed        13.30   (baseline 13.32)
    onFixedVariant on Fixed  7.17   (baseline  7.23)
    onFixed on FixedDim     10.08   (baseline 10.08)
    onFixedVariant on Dim    5.44   (baseline  5.47)

-- because tone, not hue, sets the ratio. Two palettes with nothing in common landing
on the same four numbers is the check that the tone mapping is right.

**Containers hold across the contrast setting; content darkens.** That is the move
`Color.kt` already makes everywhere else -- `onSurfaceLight` goes #1B1B1B -> #111111 ->
#000000 while `surfaceLight` stays #F9F9F9 through all three -- so the fixed family
follows it: content tones 10/30, then 5/20, then 0/10. The weakest pair ladders
5.44 -> 7.73 -> 10.08. Shifting the containers instead would have moved the brand-visible
half for a setting that is about legibility.

**`surfaceTint` is the thirteenth, and it was never a defect.** Its default is `primary`,
which is correct: `surfaceColorAtElevation` composites it over `surface` at 2-8% alpha,
so an elevated light surface darkens toward primary and an elevated dark one lightens --
M3's own behaviour, and this app sets no elevations anywhere, so nothing reads it. It is
assigned explicitly anyway, with that reasoning in a comment, so that "every role is
assigned" is a property a reader can check by looking rather than by knowing which
omissions were deliberate. m3-audit.sh reports the two kinds apart for the same reason.

**Three new assertions, and the two that matter cannot be satisfied by accident.**
`ColorSchemeContrastTest` grows from 4 to 7:

  - both content roles on both fixed containers at 4.5:1, across all six schemes;
  - the fixed roles are the same colour in light and dark, which is the definition and
    would otherwise only fail on a screen that puts one beside a themed surface;
  - no role is left at the Material baseline palette -- the twelve baseline hex values
    read out of `PaletteTokens.kt` and asserted absent.

Verified by deleting `primaryFixed = primaryFixed,` from `lightScheme` alone: two tests
fail, naming the role and printing back `Color(0.917, 0.866, 1.0)`. Reverted.

**Audit budget ratcheted 12 -> 0**, dated in the file. Per the header's contract that is
the only direction a budget moves, and the commit that lowers it is the one that earns it.

**Tests.** 920 pass, 583 jvm over 70 classes and 337 android over 42, up from 914/580/337
-- three new assertions counted once per target. `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid`
builds, `m3-audit.sh --check` exits 0. No visual change: every role that had a value keeps
it, and the thirteen that gain one were rendering baseline defaults nothing reads yet.

2b0ce8d73b test: measure M3 conformance instead of asserting it, with a budgeted audit and a contrast test
Phase 0 of docs/material-design-conformance.md. Every count in that document was
produced by hand, which makes the eight phases after it opinions rather than work
with acceptance criteria. This is the harness that turns them back into numbers.

**`docs/scripts/m3-audit.sh` regenerates the whole audit, and can fail a build.**
Plain invocation reports; `--check` exits 1 when a budget at the top of the file is
exceeded. The budgets are the tree as it stands -- 11 hardcoded colours, 33 bare
`.clickable`, 18 null content descriptions, 12 unassigned colour roles -- and the
contract written into the header is that they ratchet **down**, in the same commit
that earns the reduction, and are never raised. Counts a phase has not reached yet
are `-1`, which reports but never fails. Phase 8 wires `--check` into CI, at which
point a raised budget is the diff a reviewer is looking for.

Verified both directions: `--check` exits 0 on the clean tree, and appending a
single `Color(0xFF00FF00)` to LoadingScreen.kt makes it exit 1 naming the budget.

**Two counts are reported apart from each other on purpose.** Thirteen ColorScheme
roles are never assigned in Theme.kt, and reporting that as one number would
overstate it. Twelve are the `*Fixed*` family, which default to
`ColorLightTokens.PrimaryFixed` -> `PaletteTokens.Primary90` -> `#EADDFF`, so a
monochrome app renders Material baseline lavender the moment anything reads one.
The thirteenth is `surfaceTint`, whose default is `primary` -- correct, and not a
defect. The script labels the first group "lavender" and the second "not a defect".

The `.dp` histogram splits three ways for the same reason. 527 literals: 419 on the
M3 spacing scale, 19 dimensions rather than spacing (a 1dp hairline, an avatar, an
image height), and 89 genuinely off-scale. The naive split reported 101 off-scale by
counting 1dp borders as bad spacing, which would have sent phase 2 chasing hairlines.
`DIMENSION_EXEMPT` is deliberately short and the header asks for a justification in
the commit that lengthens it.

**`ColorSchemeContrastTest` walks the real schemes, which cost a visibility keyword.**
Four assertions over all six declared schemes: every content role on its container at
4.5:1, `onSurface` on each of the seven tonal surfaces at 4.5:1, `outline` against
every surface it is drawn on at 3:1, and `primary`/`error` against `surface` at 3:1.
WCAG relative luminance from first principles -- the 0.03928 knee and the 2.4
exponent, not a gamma-2.2 approximation, because the approximation moves borderline
pairs by enough to change a verdict and the tightest pair in this tree is 4.56:1.

`Theme.kt`'s six schemes went from `private val` to `internal val` so the test can
see them. The alternative -- rebuilding the schemes inside the test from `Color.kt`'s
public values -- keeps production visibility untouched and was rejected: it would
assert the palette and miss the wiring, and the wiring is the half that fails
silently. `surfaceContainerHigh = surfaceContainerHighestLight` is a one-character
slip, compiles, and reads fine in review. A comment above the first scheme says this,
so the keyword is not quietly widened back.

**Verified that it bites.** Nudging `onSurfaceVariantLight` from `#4C4546` to
`#9C9496` -- a plausible "soften the secondary text" edit that nothing else in the
build would object to -- fails with `light: onSurfaceVariant on surfaceVariant is
2.29:1`, naming scheme, pair and ratio. Reverted; the committed value is unchanged.

**Monotonicity across the contrast ladder is deliberately not asserted.** The obvious
invariant -- high-contrast beats medium beats default for every pair -- looks right
and is false. Ten pairs move the other way, and correctly: in the light high-contrast
scheme `surfaceContainerHighest` goes darker to separate it from `surface`, which
drops its ratio against `onSurface` from 13.30 to 12.29 while raising the separation
that the change exists for. `onErrorContainer on errorContainer` drops 7.24 -> 5.19
from default to medium for the same kind of reason. Asserting the ladder would have
meant either a red test or nine exemptions; the floor is the real invariant and every
one of those values is comfortably above it. The test's doc comment records this so
the next reader does not add the assertion.

**Also not asserted: `outlineVariant`, and the call sites.** `outlineVariant` reads
1.61:1 against surface, which looks alarming and is not a defect -- M3's own baseline
sits in the same range and the role is a decorative divider, so `outline` is what
gets the 3:1 assertion. The seven call-site pairings that are genuinely below
threshold, including the 1.00:1 one in ProposalListScreen, belong to phase 3; adding
them now would mean checking in a red test.

**Doc reconciled to the script rather than the other way round.** Three hand counts
were wrong and are corrected in docs/material-design-conformance.md: 520 `.dp`
literals -> 527 (the earlier figure omitted the exempt dimensions), 90 `label*`
typography uses -> 92 (it missed `labelSmallEmphasized` and `labelLargeEmphasized`,
which are label roles too), and 101 off-scale -> 89. The phase 0 section is rewritten
from a plan into what was built, including what was decided against.

**Tests.** 914 pass, 580 jvm over 70 classes and 334 android over 42 classes, up from
906/576/69 and 330/41 -- the four new assertions, in one new class, counted once per
target because commonTest flows into both. `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid`
builds. No app behaviour changes: the only production edit in this commit is
`private` -> `internal` on six vals.

1c02b25a07 docs: measure the UI against the M3 foundations, and phase the work that follows
A plan, not a change: what m3.material.io/foundations asks for as of its May 2026
revision, what these 43 screens actually do, and eight phases ordered so that each
one makes the next mechanical rather than judgemental.

**The spec was read, not remembered.** m3.material.io is a client-rendered SPA --
WebFetch returns an empty `<main>` and the tab URLs 404 on direct navigation -- so
the numbers here came out of a real browser session clicking through the tab
controls. That mattered: the May 2026 revision renamed window size classes to
**breakpoints** and there are now five of them rather than three (compact / medium
/ expanded / large / extra-large, at 600 / 840 / 1200 / 1600dp), renamed responsive
design to adaptive design, and published the spacing system as tokens on an 8dp
scale where `space100 = 8dp`. Writing this from memory of older M3 would have
produced a plan against a vocabulary the current spec no longer uses.

**The palette is fine; the call sites are not.** Every `onX`-on-`X` pair in all six
declared schemes clears 4.5:1, the tightest being `onPrimaryContainer` on
`primaryContainer` at 4.61:1 light and 4.56:1 dark. So the generated scheme is not
the problem and this plan does not propose a repalette. What fails is colour
decided locally, seven pairings of it, and the worst is not visible to a reviewer:

    Card(colors = CardDefaults.cardColors(containerColor = primaryContainer)) {
        ListItem(colors = ListItemDefaults.colors(containerColor = Color.Transparent),

`cardColors(containerColor = ...)` does derive `contentColor = contentColorFor(...)`,
so `LocalContentColor` inside the card is correct. But `ListItem` does not read
`LocalContentColor` -- its headline comes from `ListTokens.ItemLabelTextColor`,
which is `onSurface` -- and the call site overrides only `containerColor`. In the
light scheme `onSurface` and `primaryContainer` are both `#1B1B1B`. That is
**1.00:1**, and it is applied exactly to `proposal.awaitsYou`, so the proposals
waiting on your signature are the ones rendered invisible. `HomeScreen`'s
`titleContentColor = primary` on `containerColor = primaryContainer` is the same
mistake at 1.22:1. Ratios were computed rather than eyeballed; the script is in the
Phase 0 deliverable.

**Twelve colour roles fall through to Material baseline lavender.** `Color.kt`
never assigns `primaryFixed`, `primaryFixedDim`, `onPrimaryFixed`,
`onPrimaryFixedVariant` or the secondary/tertiary equivalents, so
`lightColorScheme()` defaults them to `ColorLightTokens.PrimaryFixed` ->
`PaletteTokens.Primary90` -> `#EADDFF`. Nothing reads them today, which is why it
has never been noticed; the trap springs the first time an expressive component
does. Read out of the pinned `material3-desktop-1.10.0-alpha05-sources.jar` rather
than assumed.

**Four of the six declared schemes are unreachable.** The medium- and high-contrast
variants are written out in full in `Color.kt` -- 78 colour values -- wired into
`lightColorScheme`/`darkColorScheme` in `Theme.kt`, and then never selected:
`TorchTheme` chooses between `darkScheme` and `lightScheme` only. The work to
honour a platform contrast setting is already done and disconnected.

**10dp and 20dp are not the problem they look like.** They are the two dominant
spacing values (132 and 115 uses) and both are *on* the M3 scale, as `space125` and
`space250`. The plan says so rather than proposing a sweep that would change
nothing. What is wrong is that none of the 520 `.dp` literals records whether it is
padding, a gap or a margin -- the three categories the spec gives different rules
to -- so nothing can be adapted per breakpoint later. About 101 are off-scale
(50dp x 53, 15dp x 14, 5dp x 10 and so on), and `Modifier.height(50.dp)` appears 49
times as the same copied spacer above the same copied error message.

**Findings that were measured and then dropped.** `outlineVariant` reads 1.61:1
against surface and `secondaryContainer` 1.65:1, both of which look alarming and
neither of which is a defect: M3's own baseline sits in the same range, and the 3:1
rule the spec gives is for clustered interactive containers, not dividers or tonal
surfaces. `onSurface.copy(alpha = 0.38f)` is the specified disabled opacity and the
spec exempts disabled states from contrast entirely. Reporting these would have
padded the count and cost the reader trust in the rest.

**The rest of the audit, in counts.** 334 string literals in composables against 2
`stringResource` calls, with title case throughout ("Edit Profile", "New Chat") where
the style guide asks for sentence case. Zero `Snackbar` across 26 `Scaffold`s. 16
copies of `Text("Something went wrong")`, none of which offers a retry. 90 of 240
typography reads on `label*` roles, which are for component text, while `display*`
and `headline*` carry 9 uses between them across 43 screens. 33 bare
`Modifier.clickable` with no minimum target, two of them text-height. Two
`BoxWithConstraints` and no window-size handling at all, on a project with a desktop
target whose own entry point already says so in a comment.

**Eight phases, ordered by what each unblocks.** 0 baseline harness, 1 theme,
2 spacing tokens, 3 accessibility floor, 4 content, 5 states and feedback,
6 adaptive layout, 7 motion, 8 guard rails. Tokens come before the call sites that
consume them; the accessibility floor comes before the adaptive work that would
otherwise double the surface to fix; guard rails come last so they lock in real
state rather than aspiration. Phase 6 is the only one that cannot be done
mechanically and the only one marked not reversible alone.

**What it deliberately does not decide.** Whether the target is
`MaterialExpressiveTheme` or `MaterialTheme` -- the pinned material3 ships the full
expressive set and the code already opts into `ExperimentalMaterial3ExpressiveApi`
in 66 places, but it changes default component shapes and sizes app-wide, so it is a
product call and Phase 1 raises it rather than answering it. Also out of scope:
whether the monochrome palette is right, the per-component specs, iOS (which only
builds on a mac, and whose HIG asks 44dp where M3 asks 48dp), and the three package
namespaces the UI currently lives across.

No code changes. `docs/README.md` gains the row and the closing paragraph's note on
how this one relates to the others.

7c41992ea7 fix: hold the wallet state where a background thread can be heard, so a device with no seed boots
Since 11ab889 removed the "Introducing... Torch" gate, a device with no account boots
to "Decrypting..." and stays there. The gate was not the cause. It was the only thing
standing between the user and a write that had already been getting thrown away, and
taking it out is what made the app depend on that write.

**What the gate was doing for a device with no account.** It navigated off
SovereignWalletStartupScreen on every cold boot, and the handler it navigated through
did two things:

    onNavigateToWalletIntroPage = {
        navController.navigate(route = LoadingRoute(text = "Introducing... Torch"))
        applicationIOScope.launch { navigationViewModel.loadNostrProfile(route) }
    }

The second line is what routed a device with no account. `loadNostrProfile` found no
local account and a non-null startupRoute, answered `NavigationUIState.Landing`, and the
user got the create-a-profile screen. It never read `listWalletState`. With the gate gone
the only remaining route to Landing is `availableWallets.isEmpty()` inside the startup
screen, and every branch of that screen sits behind `ListWalletState.Success`. So a state
that nothing used to depend on became the whole of first run.

**The screen is only ever shown Init.** Instrumented on an emulator with no seed.dat, one
process, one view model (`vm=52654198` throughout):

    15:15:41.400  31861 31888  SeedFileNotFound branch done: state=Success
                                stateObj=150621551 snap=GlobalSnapshot@151321212
    15:15:43.527  31861 31861  composing: vm=52654198 stateObj=150621551
                                listWalletState=Init
    15:15:44.554  31861 31861  poll #0: stateObj=150621551 dbgMarker=Success
                                snap=GlobalSnapshot@151321212 before=Init
                                afterSendApply=Init

Thread 31888 is `Dispatchers.IO`; 31861 is main. The write happened two seconds before the
read, on the same `MutableState` object, and the reader never saw it. Neither a later
`Snapshot.sendApplyNotifications()` nor anything else recovered it -- the value stayed Init
for the life of the process, which is the spinner the user was looking at.

**Three probes, written on the same line, on the same thread, at the same instant.** They
were needed because the two obvious explanations -- two view models, or a stale snapshot --
both predict the same log line, and both are wrong:

  - a plain `@Volatile` String field: the main thread read `Success`. So this is one object
    written once, not two objects that happen to share an identity hash.
  - a `mutableStateOf` held in a top-level `object`, i.e. created at class-load time and
    never inside a composition: the main thread read `Success`. So writing Compose state
    from `Dispatchers.IO` works fine in this app.
  - the view model's own `mutableStateOf`: `Init`. Same instant, same thread, same write
    site, opposite answer.

And a `mutableStateOf` written from `Dispatchers.IO` *later*, from the poll, was seen
immediately (`ioWrite/mainRead=io-0`). What separates the two is not the thread and not the
state -- it is when the write happens relative to the composition that created the state.

**Why.** `SovereignWalletViewModel` is built by `viewModel(factory = ...)` in MantraNavHost,
so its constructor runs *inside* a composition, and a `mutableStateOf` created there is
created inside that composition's snapshot. A write from another thread that lands before
that composition is applied does not survive it. Delaying the write past the composition
proves the boundary rather than describing it -- with `delay(1500)` inserted ahead of the
decrypt and nothing else changed:

    15:18:07.520  result=SeedFileNotFound  ->  state=Success
    15:18:08.142  composing: listWalletState=Success
    15:18:08.143  no wallets -> landing

Same code, same threads, same write; two seconds later it is heard.

**Why only a device without an account.** The window is a few milliseconds wide, and which
side of it you land on is decided by how long reading the seed takes. With no seed file,
`SeedManager.loadAndDecrypt` goes as far as `FileSystem.SYSTEM.exists(seedFile)`, says "seed
file doesn't exist", and returns `SeedFileNotFound`:

    15:09:59.060  SeedManager: loadAndDecrypt
    15:09:59.063  SeedManager: seed file doesn't exist

Three milliseconds after `init` fired it, which is inside the first composition. With a seed
the same call decrypts through the keystore, runs `MnemonicCode.toSeed`, builds a
`LocalKeyManager` and derives a node id, then `DecryptSeedResult.Success` waits on a DataStore
read for the wallet metadata -- long enough, every time, to land after. So the account case
booted normally and the empty case hung, and the difference had nothing to do with accounts.
That also means this was never specific to the no-seed path: it is a race that path always
loses.

**The change.** `listWalletState` becomes a `MutableStateFlow` behind `asStateFlow()`, and
the screen collects it with `collectAsState()`. A StateFlow has no snapshot to belong to, so
the same write from the same thread at the same moment is seen. This is not a new pattern
here -- it is what `_availableWallets`, `_desiredWalletId` and `_activeWalletInUI` already do
on this same class, and `_availableWallets` is written on the line below the one that was
being lost and was always read correctly. `listWalletState` was the odd one out.

The comment on the declaration says why it has to stay a flow. Changing it back would restore
this bug exactly, and would do so silently: nothing throws, nothing logs, the state simply
keeps its initial value.

**Not audited.** `press.mantra.compose.ui.view.model` has around a dozen more `by
mutableStateOf` properties on view models built the same way -- HomeViewModel,
ChatMessageListViewModel, InReplyToViewModel, SovereignWalletStartupViewModel and others.
Every one of them is exposed to this, and every one of them is fine only for as long as
nothing writes it off the main thread during the composition that creates it. Most load from
Room, which is slow enough to be safe by accident, which is the same kind of safety this bug
had until the gate came out. Converting them is a sweep, not this commit; it wants each call
site read rather than a mechanical replace.

**Not tested.** There is no Compose UI test infrastructure in this repo, and the defect lives
in the interaction between a view model constructor, a composition snapshot and a background
coroutine -- there is nothing to assert against without a running composition. A test that the
property's type is a StateFlow would only restate the declaration the compiler already checks.
What stands in for it is the comment and the fact that the three sibling properties on the
class establish the pattern.

**Verified on a device, twice over.** emulator-5554, no seed.dat: was "Decrypting..." for ever,
now goes to the landing screen and on into Create Profile. emulator-5556, seed.dat present and
a broadcast profile: still boots through `processLocalAccount` to its home screen, so the path
that always worked still does. 906 tests pass, 576 jvm over 69 classes and 330 android over 41
classes, unchanged -- this commit adds none.

f301a924fd fix: build a release apk, by dropping the app's copies of what the library already ships
`:composeApp:assembleRelease` dies in `mergeDexRelease`:

    Type com.machankura.compose.ui.composable.widgets.nfc.ComposableSingletons$HceMonitorKt
    is defined multiple times:
      composeApp/build/intermediates/project_dex_archive/release/dexBuilderRelease/out/...
      lightning-kmp-app/library/build/.transforms/.../bundleLibRuntimeToDirAndroidMain_dex/...

Both paths are ours. composeApp compiles a class, lightning-kmp-app's `:library`
compiles the same fully-qualified name, and D8 will not merge the two into one
apk. Debug never objected, because it packages the per-project dex archives as
they stand and only the release merge walks the whole set looking for
collisions -- so this has been true for a while and surfaced the first time
anyone asked for a release. There were two such copies, and fixing the first
only uncovered the second.

**The NFC widgets were renamed by directory, not by package.** 9abdf42
("Refactor torch to mantra", 2026-07-15) moved three files under
`composeApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/ui/composable/widgets/nfc/`
and left their `package com.machankura.compose.ui.composable.widgets.nfc` line
alone. The library holds the same three at
`fr/acinq/phoenix/compose/ui/widgets/nfc/`, also declaring `com.machankura...`.
So three directories say three different things and the package -- the only one
of them D8 reads -- says one. `NfcState.kt` is byte-identical across the two;
`HceMonitor.kt` and `NfcReaderMonitor.kt` differ in a single import line,
`press.mantra` against `fr.acinq.phoenix` for `ModalBottomSheet`.

Deleted the app's three rather than renaming their package to `press.mantra`,
which was the other way out and is the worse one. `NfcStateRepository` is an
`object`. The library's own `HceService` and `NfcReaderCallback` import it under
the `com.machankura` name, and `MainActivity:50-52` reaches for it fully
qualified. Renaming the app's copy would have compiled, dexed and run -- with
two singletons: one that `MainActivity` sets back to `Inactive` on a new intent,
and a different one the HCE service is collecting. Nothing would warn, because
by then the names genuinely differ; the tag emulation would just not stop.
Deleting leaves one object, and `MainActivity`'s existing fully-qualified
references land on it untouched. The two composables went along with it as dead
weight -- nothing outside their own files names `HceMonitor` or
`NfcReaderMonitor` anywhere in composeApp.

**The sqldelight databases were a second copy of the same kind.** With the NFC
clash gone, `mergeDexRelease` came back with
`fr.acinq.phoenix.db.sqldelight.AppDatabase$Companion`, out of the same pair of
directories. composeApp's build.gradle.kts declared `ChannelsDatabase`,
`PaymentsDatabase` and `AppDatabase` at packageName
`fr.acinq.phoenix.db.sqldelight` from `.sq` sources under
`src/commonMain/sqldelight`; the library's build.gradle.kts declares the same
three names, the same package and the same layout, over a tree `diff -rq` reports
as identical file for file. Both plugins ran, and both generated the same
classes.

Removed the plugin alias and the whole `sqldelight { }` block from composeApp
and deleted its 32 `.sq`/`.sqm` files, rather than moving the app's generated
package to `press.mantra`. Nothing under `press.mantra` imports
`fr.acinq.phoenix.db` -- grep finds no file -- and nothing there touches
`app.cash.sqldelight` either, against 18 files in the library that do. The app
was generating a database layer it has never opened. Renaming would have kept
generating it, and kept a second identical schema in the tree for someone to
edit and then wonder why nothing moved. A comment sits where the plugin alias
was, since the absence is the load-bearing part and an alias is a one-line thing
to add back by reflex.

**The sqldelight driver dependencies stay.** `-android-driver`,
`-sqlite-driver`, `-native-driver`, `-runtime` and `-coroutines-extensions` are
still declared in composeApp. They are runtime drivers rather than code
generation, and are very likely redundant -- the library declares the same five
as `implementation`, which still carries them onto the runtime classpath. But
they are not what D8 objected to, and a missing driver fails when the app opens
a database on one platform, not when it builds, so retiring them wants more
evidence than a green build and is its own change.

**What this does not fix.** Anything else copied into both trees fails exactly
this way, and only on release. A scan of the two source sets for colliding
fully-qualified top-level types is clean now -- the three NFC files were the
only ones -- but that scan reads `.kt`, and the sqldelight collision had no
`.kt` to find. Generated code is where the next one hides: Room and
compose-resources generate into composeApp, and the library generates
compose-resources too, which is why settings.gradle.kts keeps the submodule's
project named `:library` and renames only the coordinate.

**Verified.** `:composeApp:assembleRelease` produces the unsigned 36MB apk;
`:composeApp:assembleDebug` builds. 906 tests pass, 576 jvm over 69 classes and
330 android over 41 classes, unchanged from before the change since it adds
none. The apk was not installed, so that NFC still works on a device is read
from the code -- one `NfcStateRepository`, the one both sides were already
naming -- rather than watched.

f146afd49e fix: keep asking who a Marmot group's members are, instead of once and never again
A member of a Marmot group shows as "LOADING..." and stays that way. The same
member in a NIP-17 room starts as "LOADING..." and then turns into their name.
The difference is not that Marmot forgets to ask. It asks exactly once, and
NIP-17 is the one that gets asked again.

**"LOADING..." is a row, not a spinner.** Every pubkey this device sees gets a
Profile row immediately, because Participant.participantPublicKey and
ChatRoom.userPublicKey are both foreign keys onto Profile and nothing can be
filed until one exists. What gets written is a placeholder:

    Profile(
        displayName = "LOADING...",
        publicKey = ...,
        createdAt = GENESIS_AT,
        nostrEventId = nostrEvent.id,  // Will get overwriting by sync,
    )

GENESIS_AT (1231006505000L, the Bitcoin genesis block) is the marker: a row
carrying it has never been read off a kind:0. `NostrDao.indexNostrEvent` writes
one, `MarmotInboundManager.processGroupMembershipChanges` writes one, the Welcome
branch of `NostrDao.indexNostrEvent` writes one,
`NostrDao.getOrCreateNip17ChatRoom` writes one. Each of them then queues the
kind:0 request that is supposed to replace it. Each queues it once.

Once is a whole lot of load-bearing. `Relays.DefaultDMRelayList` is
`listOf(ephemeral)` -- one relay -- so "ask the relays" is one negentropy
reconciliation against one host, at whatever moment the pubkey first appeared. If
that host has not got the member's kind:0 yet, that is the end of the enquiry.

**NIP-17 gets a second chance twice over.** Opening a NIP-17 room runs
`ChatMessageListViewModel.scheduleSynchronization`, which fetches each
participant's kind:10050. That request is queued at level 0, so the kind:10050 it
brings back is *indexed* at level 0 -- and the top of `indexNostrEvent` says:

    } else if (profile.createdAt == GENESIS_AT && level == 0) {
        logger.i("This is a placeholder profile... that might need to get synced...: $profile")
        ...
        profilePublicKeysToSync[relayURL]?.add(nostrEvent.pubKey)
    }

which queues the full `profileEventKinds` set, kind:0 included. So the name
arrives on the bounce: we asked for a relay list, we got an event that member
signed, indexing it noticed the placeholder was still there, and it asked again
for the profile. Any other event of theirs we happen to index does the same thing.

**A Marmot group has neither half.** The first half is gated off explicitly:

    if (localChatRoom.chatRoom.mlsGroupState == null) {

which is the whole body of `scheduleSynchronization`. Opening a Marmot room asks
for nothing, by construction -- and reasonably so on its own terms, since an MLS
room does not need a member's kind:10050 to address a message to them.

The second half cannot fire, because a Marmot member never authors anything this
device indexes under their own key. A kind:445 is signed by a throwaway keypair
minted for that one event (`MarmotOutboundDao`, two sites: `NostrSignerInternal(KeyPair())`),
and the real sender is inside the MLS frame, recovered in `indexMarmotGroupEvent`
as `mlsGroup.memberIdentityHex(it.senderLeafIndex)` -- long after the pubkey check
at the top of `indexNostrEvent` has already run against `nostrEvent.pubKey`. That
check does fire on every kind:445; it just fires on the throwaway key, mints a
placeholder for a key that will never exist again, and queues a profile sync for
it. The member it is standing next to is not looked at.

So: one ask at the Welcome (or at the commit that added them), and then nothing,
ever, for the life of the room. Lose that one ask and the room is full of
"LOADING...".

**Two smaller holes, same shape.** Both Marmot mint sites test `profile == null`:

    val profile = database.profileDao().getProfileByPublicKey(newParticipant.participantPublicKey)
    if (profile == null) {
        // create placeholder AND queue the sync
    }

A placeholder is not null. A member we already hold one for -- seen in another
room, or removed from this one and added back -- takes the `false` branch and is
never queued at all. Not even the single ask.

**The change.**

- New `nostr/MemberProfileSync.kt`. Picks out, from a set of rooms, the members
  nobody has read a kind:0 for -- missing row and placeholder row treated the
  same, ourselves excluded because our own profile is not something a relay
  teaches us -- and builds the kind:0 requests for them. Authors are chunked 100
  per filter: a relay may refuse a filter it thinks is too big, and one refusal
  should not take every member down with it. Requests go out at level 0, which
  is deliberate: it is what marks a request as one somebody is waiting on, and
  it is what lets the arriving kind:0 pull the rest of the member (DM relay
  list, key packages) in behind it via the placeholder branch quoted above.

- `LiveSubscriptionManager.queueCatchUpSynchronization` now also asks about every
  member it cannot name, across every room on the account. This is the main
  repair. It is the right home for it: the foreground catch-up already holds the
  room list (it was fetching it for `groupIdsFrom` and throwing the rooms away
  -- `liveGroupIds` is gone, the rooms are kept), it already exists to answer
  "what did I miss", and running there covers the chat list, the member lists
  and the message feed at once rather than one screen at a time. It re-runs on
  every foreground, so an ask that comes back empty is retried rather than lost.

- `ChatMessageListViewModel.scheduleSynchronization` asks too, for both kinds of
  room, before the NIP-17-only relay-list block it already had. This closes the
  gap between foregrounds: join a group while the app is open, and the names
  resolve without backgrounding it first.

- `MarmotInboundManager.processGroupMembershipChanges` and the Welcome branch of
  `NostrDao.indexNostrEvent` now treat a placeholder as unresolved. The
  placeholder insert still only happens when there is no row (it is an @Insert
  and would throw on conflict); it is the *ask* that now happens either way.

**Left alone, deliberately.** The `mlsGroupState == null` gate below the new code
stays: kind:10050 genuinely is NIP-17-only, and an MLS room's messages go to the
group's own relays. The placeholder minted for a kind:445's throwaway signer is
untouched -- it is waste, not a bug, and removing it means deciding what
`indexNostrEvent` should do with an event whose author is by design nobody, which
is a bigger question than this. `DefaultDMRelayList` being a single host is left
as it is; widening profile lookups to the directory relays (purplepag.es,
user.kindpag.es, directory.yabu.me are all already in `Relays`) would find more
kind:0s than asking one relay repeatedly, and is worth doing on its own.

**Verified.** `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid` builds. `:composeApp:jvmTest`
is green: 576 tests over 69 classes, including 7 new ones in
`MemberProfileSyncTest` covering placeholder-vs-null, self-exclusion, a member in
several rooms counted once, the filter shape (kind:0, level 0, one request per
relay) and the 100-author chunking.

73cba2ae0e feat: say at the foot of the transcript what the group is still waiting for you to sign
The transcript carries a proposal past as it happens, and b977326 gave a member
owed two decisions a queue to find the second one in. Neither says anything
before it is tapped. A proposal announces itself as one line among everything
else the room said, the conversation carries it upward, and from then on the
only evidence that the group is waiting on this member is a line they would
have to scroll back to -- or the Proposals button on a screen behind a
kebab menu, which is a place to look rather than a thing that tells you to
look. The decision does not expire with the scroll, and a member who has not
answered is what the whole room is waiting on.

**Where it sits.** First item of the transcript's LazyColumn, which has
`reverseLayout = true`, so index 0 is at the bottom edge of the viewport --
under the newest message and directly above the composer. That is also where
the list is scrolled to when a room is opened, so a member who has just been
asked for something is told so without moving. `ChatMessageDao` orders
`createdAt DESC` and the reversal turns it back the right way up, which is why
"first item" and "under the newest message" are the same place.

**Not pinned above the composer.** It scrolls with the transcript and leaves
view when a reader goes back through history. Pinning it is not a move of the
composable: `RenderMessages` is a Column of `Spacer(weight(1f))` then the
messages column, and a Column measures its unweighted children first and in
order, each against what the previous ones left. The messages column holds a
LazyColumn with no height modifier, which takes the whole remaining height, so
a sibling card placed after it would be measured against nothing and would not
appear. Making that work wants `weight(1f)` moved onto the messages column,
which changes how every part of this screen is measured rather than where one
card goes.

**Guarded outside `item { }` rather than inside it.** The relay-list notice
beside it is written the other way round -- an item that always exists and
sometimes composes nothing -- and `verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy`
puts its gap between every pair of adjacent items whatever their height, so an
item composing nothing still costs 10.dp. This one is not added at all when
nothing is owed, so a room with no proposals carries no phantom gap at the foot
of its transcript.

**Read before the list builder.** `proposalsAwaitingYou` is pulled into a local
above the `LazyColumn` call rather than inside its scope, so the state read is
plainly a read of `RenderMessages` and the notice appearing or disappearing is
a recomposition of this function. Reading it inside the builder would work --
the item provider is snapshot-aware -- but it puts the difference between "no
proposals" and "one proposal" inside a lambda whose re-execution is the lazy
list's business rather than this function's.

**What the held state carries now.** `proposalsAwaitingYou` widens from
`Set<String>` to `List<AwaitingProposal>`: the session id it already had, plus
a `ProposedEvent.Summary` of what the batch is about and the batch's size. It
is still filled from the same `observeSessionsForChatRoom` collector asking
`FrostSigningManager.isAwaitingApproval` -- the point of b977326's version was
that the transcript and the proposal list ask one question, and that is
unchanged.

The summary is built in the collector rather than at render because it is
parsed out of stored JSON, once per item, and this is a scrolling list.
`ProposalListUIState.Proposal` derives its own for the same reason and says so;
doing it in the composable would re-parse every event in every open proposal on
every recomposition of the room.

**The first item that can be read, not the first item.** `firstNotNullOfOrNull`
over `Event.fromJsonOrNull`, matching `ProposalListScreen`, whose `lead` is the
first of the already-`mapNotNull`ed events. A batch is named after its first
item because the rest hang off it, but a batch whose first item this build
cannot parse is still about something, and falling back to "Proposal" when the
second item says "New chapter" would be throwing away the name for a reason the
reader cannot see.

**Named when there is one, counted when there are several.** One proposal gets
"Waiting for your signature" over what it signs -- "New chapter · Genesis 1 ·
797 words · 31 chunks" -- because "a proposal is waiting" is not something
anybody can decide about, and the whole value of the card over a dot on a menu
is that it says what the group wants. Several get the count and nothing else.
Naming the first of several would say the others were not there, which is
exactly the fault `ProposalListScreen` was built to fix; listing them all would
be building that screen a second time in the composer's space.

**The two ways to have nothing to name.** A session can exist before its
proposal has arrived, and a proposal can arrive holding events this build
cannot read. They are different situations and the card says which, in the same
words `ProposalCard` uses -- "Nothing has arrived to sign yet" against "None of
its events could be read" -- so a member who taps through finds the row saying
what the card said.

**It opens the queue, in every case.** Not the proposal it names, even when it
names exactly one. The transcript's own lines are the way to a single proposal
and keep their existing routing; this is the standing count of what is owed,
and the queue is the screen that answers the question it raises -- including
for a proposal it could not name, where opening one session would be opening
the one thing the card just admitted it could not describe.

**Its own callback rather than `onOpenSigning(null)`.** That would have worked:
`ChatRoomMessagingScreen` already sends a null session id to `ProposalListRoute`.
But null there is a claim -- "this line predates `ChatMessage.frostSigningSessionId`
and cannot say which proposal it meant" -- and the card knows precisely which
proposals it is about. Reusing the branch would make the null case mean two
unrelated things and leave the next reader unable to tell which callers
actually do not know their session. `onOpenProposals: () -> Unit` says the one
thing it does.

**`hidesOtherDecisions` is untouched in meaning.** It follows the new shape --
`size > 1 && any { it.sessionId == sessionId }`, with the cheap check first --
and still answers the same two questions about a tapped transcript line. No
line changes where it goes.

**Not covered, deliberately.** The empty-transcript branch gets no card. A
proposal writes its own lines into the room that signs, which is what b977326
established, so an awaiting proposal implies a transcript; the branch this
skips is the "Break the ice" case, which cannot coexist with one.

The card lives and dies with an open room. b977326 closed by noting that
nothing counts outstanding decisions where a reader can see them before
tapping, and that is still true one level up: the home chat list says nothing,
and a badge there wants this count somewhere it outlives one open room, which
is its own change.

`ChatRoomMessagingScreen` still calls `initiate()` inside `key(true) { }`
rather than a `LaunchedEffect`, so its collectors are re-launched on
recomposition. This adds no observer -- it reads the one b977326 added -- so
the exposure is unchanged rather than widened.

No tests. What changed is a composable and a navigation callback, and there is
no UI test harness here to press a card in. The seam that does have one,
`isAwaitingApproval`, is untouched and is already what the proposal list is
tested through; the summary this reuses, `ProposedEvent.summarize`, is likewise
already covered where it is defined.

Verified: :composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid succeeds; 884 tests pass, 565
jvm and 319 android, unchanged from before the change since it adds none. That
the card appears exactly when a proposal is owed, and that it lands on the
queue, are read from the code rather than asserted -- both want the app on a
device in a group that has a key.

ff1ecc1194 Merge branch 'mantra' into claude/torch-intro-boot-hang-76b0a8 2026-09-06 20:44:42 +02:00

11ab8892f0 fix: let startup finish, rather than leave it for an intro that was never built
Sometimes the app boots to "Introducing... Torch" and stays there. That string
is not a screen. It is the `text` of a LoadingRoute that
SovereignWalletStartupScreen navigated to whenever a preference called
showIntro was true, and the one thing that was supposed to move the user off it
had been commented out since 0a5a219 (2026-07-02).

**The gate is always open.** GlobalPrefs.kt, in the lightning-kmp-app submodule:

    /** True if the intro screen must be shown. True by default. */
    val getShowIntro: Flow<Boolean> = safeData.map { it[SHOW_INTRO] ?: true }
    suspend fun saveShowIntro(showIntro: Boolean) = data.edit { it[SHOW_INTRO] = showIntro }

`saveShowIntro` has no caller anywhere in this repository -- its definition is
its only occurrence. SHOW_INTRO is therefore never written, `?: true` is the
answer every time, and the gate fired on every cold boot rather than once ever.
Phoenix clears it when its onboarding carousel finishes. Mantra has no
onboarding carousel; the destination is a loading placeholder. Nothing clears
it because there is nothing to have been shown.

**Leaving the screen is what stops the wallet.** The gate was the first thing in
the composable, ahead of the Box that does the actual work:

    val showIntro = sovereignWalletStartupViewModel.getShowIntroFlow().collectAsState(initial = null)
    if (showIntro.value == true) {
        LaunchedEffect(Unit) { onNavigateToWalletIntroPage.invoke() }
    }

Startup is not something that happens behind this screen; it *is* this screen.
Reaching setActiveWallet means descending ListWalletState.Success -> a non-empty
availableWallets -> wallet metadata and default wallet -> StartupViewState.Init
-> LoadWallet, whose produceState reads getLockBiometricsEnabled and
getLockPinEnabled before its LaunchedEffect calls doLoadWallet -> startupNode.
Navigating away disposes that composition and cancels the LaunchedEffect that
was going to make the call. A screen that has been left behind does not start a
wallet, so activeWalletInUI stayed null.

**And the state machine had already gone quiet.** NavigationViewModel.
observeProfile collects activeWalletStateFlow with collectLatest. Null wallet,
so it had already put StartupPhoenix into _navigationUIState -- which is how the
user arrived at the startup screen in the first place. With activeWalletInUI
pinned at null the flow never emits again, so collectLatest never re-runs; and
even a re-run would `getAndUpdate { NavigationUIState.StartupPhoenix }` onto a
MutableStateFlow already holding that same `data object`, which conflates. No
emission, so MantraNavHost's collector never fires. Nothing was watching
anything any more.

**The one remaining exit was commented out.** onNavigateToWalletIntroPage
launched loadNostrProfile(route) alongside the navigate, and that was the whole
plan: park on a placeholder, work out where the user actually belongs, go
there. In 0a5a219, NostrRepository.observeProfile was renamed
observeLocalAccount and the call stopped compiling, so the branch was commented
out where it stood:

    } else {
    //            if (startupRoute != null) {
    //                val localAccount = nostrRepository.observeProfile(
    //                    publicKey = activeUserPublicKey
    //                ).firstOrNull()
    //
    //                processLocalAccount(localAccount)
    //  ...
    }

Note where the comment markers fall. The surviving `if` covers only
`activeUserPublicKey == null`. For anyone who already had an account,
loadNostrProfile read the database, decided nothing, and returned -- a suspend
function whose entire contract is to leave the navigation state pointing
somewhere, doing so for exactly one caller out of two.

**Why "sometimes".** Two axes.

The first is a race between DataStore reads. The gate is a single read; the
startup path is a chain of them. Usually the gate wins and nothing starts. When
doLoadWallet did fire first, startupNode runs on
SovereignWalletStartupViewModel.viewModelScope, scoped to the back stack entry
-- and the intro navigate used no popUpTo, so the entry survived the departure.
The node came up anyway, setActiveWallet fired, activeWalletInUI went non-null,
collectLatest re-ran and routed properly. Boot looked fine.

The second is whether there is an account. With none,
`getLocalAccounts().firstOrNull()?.profile?.publicKey` is null, the surviving
branch returns Landing, and the user lands on the create-a-profile screen. Only
a device that already had a profile could reach the dead end. Fresh installs
looked healthy, which is a good way for a bug to stay hidden.

**The other dead end, which this one was hiding.** availableWallets.isEmpty()
means no seed on the device, and it called onNavigateToWalletLandingPage, which
navigated to LoadingRoute("Loading... Torch") and launched nothing at all. Not a
race, not a rename -- just a loading screen with nothing left to load. It was
never noticed because on a device with no seed the intro gate got there first
and reached Landing by the account check above. So the accidental path was the
only working route a new user had to creating a wallet, and removing the gate
without fixing this would have broken first run.

**The change.** Three files.

- SovereignWalletStartupScreen: the gate and the onNavigateToWalletIntroPage
  parameter are gone. Startup runs to completion here; everything downstream
  reads the node's key manager, so departing before the node is up cannot work
  regardless of where it departs to.
- MantraNavHost: onNavigateToWalletLandingPage navigates to LandingRoute with
  popUpTo(0), which is where making or restoring a seed lives, and matches how
  every state-driven navigation in this file clears the stack.
- NavigationViewModel: the branch restored against observeLocalAccount, as
  `else if (startupRoute != null)`, so every path out of loadNostrProfile leaves
  the navigation state somewhere.

Neither "... Torch" loading string exists any more.

**Left in place.** getShowIntroFlow -- the expect/actual across android, ios and
jvm, and the accessor on SovereignWalletStartupViewModel -- now has no callers.
It is kept because a real intro screen will want it, but it has to be a step
*inside* this flow, arriving before the wallet is needed and continuing to
startup, not a detour around it. Wiring it back where it was would restore this
bug exactly.

**Not covered, deliberately.** loadNostrProfile still keys off
`getLocalAccounts().firstOrNull()?.profile?.publicKey`, so an account whose
kind-0 is not yet indexed reads as no account and answers Landing, while
observeProfile -- which uses the key manager's pubkey and does not need a
Profile row -- answers with the real state a moment later. Last write wins,
self-correcting, and unchanged by this commit; it predates it and wants the
account lookup rethought rather than patched here.

**Tests.** NavigationRoutingTest, four of them in commonTest, against
loadNostrProfile directly. NostrRepository.NO_OP_NOSTR_REPOSITORY throws from
all 41 of its members, so `by` delegation over it gives a device that answers
getLocalAccounts and observeLocalAccount and fails loudly on anything the call
was not supposed to touch. Each test starts the view model on
NavigationUIState.Loading("Introducing... Torch") -- the screen people were
stranded on -- and asks whether the answer moved.

Three of the four fail with the branch commented back out, and the headline one
fails saying "boot stopped on the screen it was asked to move off. Actual:
Loading(text=Introducing... Torch)", which is the bug report. The fourth, a
device with no account reaching Landing, passes either way: that branch was
never broken, and it is here so that losing it would not be free.

The unqueued-profile case earns its place because the headline assertion is weak
alone -- a constant would satisfy it. Two accounts differing only in signedAt
come back ProfileLoaded and UnqueuedProfile, so what is pinned is that the
destination is read off the account rather than being one fixed answer for "has
an account".

Both entities default their timestamps to Clock.System.now() and compare them in
equals, so the fixture pins them. Without that, building the expected Profile a
second time builds a different Profile, which is how the first run of these
failed.

**Not tested.** The other two files. Removing the showIntro gate and pointing
onNavigateToWalletLandingPage at LandingRoute are Compose and NavHost wiring,
and there is no Compose UI test infrastructure here to hang them on. Note where
that leaves the coverage: the race that decides whether a given boot hangs lives
in the untested half. What these tests hold is that the boot has somewhere to
land once it arrives -- the half that turned a lost race into a dead end rather
than a delay.

Verified: :composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid succeeds; 515 jvm tests, 511
before these four, 0 failed. ChronicleApplyJvmTest "an answered catch-up leaves
one line, whatever it took to deliver" is flaky independently of this change --
it failed with these files reverted to their committed state, and has both
passed and failed on identical code since. Filed separately, not touched here.

The two untested files are read, not run: I did not put the app on a device.
What is asserted about them is the code -- that saveShowIntro has no caller,
that the commented branch was the only exit from that route, and that both
replacements compile.

e8a07aadf7 Merge branch 'mantra' into claude/proposals-view-navigation-9f3a58
Brings in ten commits: `ChatRoom.joinedGroupAt` and the pre-join indexing gate
with schema v15, the home list's last-message preview and its `chatRoomId`
index at v16, the membership transcript lines, and the widening of the notary's
third queue.

No conflict. mantra touches two of this branch's four files and meets neither
change. In `ChatMessageListViewModel` its edits are a `MEMBERSHIP_TYPES` branch
in the items loop and three icons and a tint in `RitualNotice`; this branch's
are the constructor, `hidesOtherDecisions` and `observeProposalsAwaitingYou`.
In `ChatRoomDetailScreen` its edit is the reindex report's wording at the foot
of the screen, a couple of hundred lines below the button that moved.

**The membership branch sits in front of the signing one**, which is worth
checking rather than assuming: both are early returns in the same loop, and
order decides which of them claims a row. Neither can claim the other's.
`MEMBERSHIP_TYPES` is the three invite types and `FROST_TYPES` the eight signing
ones, disjoint sets, and a membership line's `onClick` is `{}` -- it leads
nowhere at all, so it never reaches the routing this branch changed.

**Nothing mantra deletes can take a signing line.** `MIGRATION_14_15` deletes
transcript rows, which is exactly the sort of thing that could quietly empty
the transcript this branch routes from. It cannot: the delete is scoped to
`ChatMessage.UNRESOLVED_MARMOT_TYPES`, which is `TYPE_UNDECRYPTABLE_OUTER_LAYER`
and `TYPE_PENDING_COMMIT` -- placeholders standing in for events that were never
read -- and no FROST type is in that set. Every other line, the signing ones
included, is the final word on its group event and is left alone.

**The pre-join gate and the proposal count agree by construction.** A signing
message is a kind:445 like every other event in a Marmot group, so
`NostrDao.indexMarmotGroupEvent` holds back the ones a group published before
this device joined, and a session proposed before then leaves no rows here at
all. `observeProposalsAwaitingYou` counts sessions rather than lines, so there
is nothing for it to over-count: a member added mid-signing is not told they owe
a decision on something they cannot see, and the transcript is not asked for a
line about a session that was withheld from it. The two changes needed no
reconciling because they are answering about the same withheld events from
opposite ends.

Verified after the merge rather than assumed from before it:
:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid succeeds; 884 tests pass -- 565 jvm and
319 android, up from 808 because 76 of them are mantra's. This branch adds
none, for the reasons its own commit gives.

b97732643b fix: put proposals in the room that signs, and open the queue when one row is not all of it
The Proposals button sat behind `mlsGroupState == null`, so it was offered in
NIP-17 rooms and withheld from Marmot ones. That is the wrong way round rather
than a gap: FrostSigningManager signs "in its #admins room", and an #admins
room is a Marmot group.

**Where a group actually proposes.** `FrostSigningManager.broadcast` writes a
signing message as an unprocessed `MarmotInnerEvent`, which `NotaryViewModel`
MLS-encrypts and broadcasts as a kind:445 -- "the same path every other event
in a Marmot group takes, which is why this needs no transport of its own". A
NIP-17 room holds no MLS state for that path to use, and since 9107b81
`encryptAndSendMarmotInnerEvent` throws `MarmotMissingChatGroupException` on
exactly that rather than silently doing nothing. So the button was shown in the
one kind of room where a proposal cannot leave the device, and hidden in the
kind where every proposal this app has made actually lives.

The Shared Key button beside it keeps the gate, and the comment above it keeps
its wording, because for a ceremony the gate is right: ChillDKG runs over NIP-17
because it has to -- its participants are not yet a Marmot group, and its whole
purpose is to produce the key one would be keyed on -- so a room that already
has an MLS tree is not a room a ceremony can run in. The two buttons stand next
to each other and answer different questions; only one of them is about the
transport the group already has.

**Not gated on whether the room can sign.** A plain DM now shows Proposals too,
and opening it says "This group has not been asked to sign anything yet."
Gating on `FrostSigningRepository.canSign` would mean threading that repository
into `ChatRoomDetailScreen` for one button's visibility, and the Shared Key
button it sits beside is not gated either -- a room with no ceremony behind it
still offers to hold one. An empty list is a truthful answer to a tap; an
absent button is no answer at all to a member wondering where the proposals
went, which is the complaint this commit starts from.

**One row is not the queue.** Tapping a signing line in the transcript went
straight to that session, and the list was reached only when the line predated
chat rows naming their session. That is right while the reader has one decision
outstanding and wrong the moment they have two: the second proposal is not in
the transcript beside the first -- it may be pages up, or have arrived while
they were reading -- so answering the one they tapped and leaving looks exactly
like being done. A group proposing a chapter and the translation that depends
on it is two sessions at once, which is the case `ProposalListScreen` exists
for; the transcript was still handing over one of them and calling it the
answer.

**Only for a row that is itself waiting.** `hidesOtherDecisions` asks two things
rather than one: that the tapped session is waiting on this member, and that it
is not the only one. A line about something the group has already signed still
opens that session directly. A reader who taps history is asking to see what was
signed, and meeting that with the queue would be substituting a general answer
for a specific request -- the same fault as the one being fixed, pointing the
other way.

**Where the answer comes from.** `ChatMessageListViewModel` observes
`observeSessionsForChatRoom` and keeps the ids of the sessions
`FrostSigningManager.isAwaitingApproval` calls pending. That is the same
question `ProposalListUIState.waitingForYou` asks, deliberately, so the
transcript and the list cannot come to different views about which proposals
still have a decision in them. Observed rather than read once, because a
proposal arrives while a room is open as often as before it is opened, and one
answered on another device stops being owed with nothing happening here at all.

Held as state rather than queried at the tap: a navigation callback is not
suspend, and there is nowhere inside one to put a query. The read happens in
the click lambda rather than during composition, so a proposal arriving moves
where the next tap goes without recomposing the transcript to do it.

That took the repository through `MantraNavHost` -> `ChatRoomMessagingScreen`
-> `ChatMessageListViewModel.factory`; the screen's preview takes
`NO_OP_FROST_SIGNING_REPOSITORY`, which already answers with an empty list.

**Not covered, deliberately.** `ChatRoomMessagingScreen` calls
`chatMessageListViewModel.initiate()` inside `key(true) { }` rather than a
`LaunchedEffect`, so it re-runs on recomposition and launches a fresh collector
each time. The three observers already there carry that exposure;
`observeProposalsAwaitingYou` joins them rather than diverging from them, and
since each collector writes the same value from the same Room flow the cost is
duplicate collection, not a wrong answer. Fixing it changes how this screen
starts all of its work, which is every observer's business rather than this
one's.

Nothing counts the outstanding decisions anywhere a reader can see them before
tapping. A signing line still says only whether the line it sits on has been
answered, and the room list says nothing. A badge wants this count somewhere it
outlives one open room, which is its own change.

No tests. Both changes are navigation decisions taken in composables --
`ChatRoomDetailScreen`'s visibility gate and `ChatRoomMessagingScreen`'s route
choice -- and there is no UI test harness here to press a button in; the one
piece with a seam, `isAwaitingApproval`, is already what the proposal list is
tested through.

Verified: :composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid succeeds; 808 tests pass, 511
jvm and 297 android, unchanged from before the change. That a Marmot room now
offers the list and that a second waiting proposal redirects the tap are read
from the code, not asserted -- both want the app on a device with a group that
has a key.

30c732af67 Merge branch 'mantra' into claude/home-chat-previews-e1913f
Two conflicts, and both are the same collision: mantra took schema v15 while
this branch was also calling its migration v15.

**The version number.** mantra's v15 adds `ChatRoom.joinedGroupAt` with a manual
MIGRATION_14_15, because half of what it does -- deleting the placeholder chat
lines already written for messages sent before this device joined -- is not a
shape Room generates. That is the older claim on the number and it keeps it. The
index migration here becomes `AutoMigration(from = 15, to = 16)` and the database
goes to v16, so a device that has already run v15 gets the index on top of it
rather than the two fighting over one version.

`15.json` is resolved to mantra's wholesale -- an add/add conflict between two
unrelated schemas is not something to merge line by line -- and 16.json is
regenerated from the build. Checked rather than assumed: 16.json differs from
15.json in exactly one place, `index_ChatMessage_chatRoomId`, and no table's
fields, createSql or other indices move.

**mantra's new membership lines needed handling here**, and nothing would have
told me: `98f766f` added `TYPE_MEMBER_INVITED`, `TYPE_MEMBER_INVITE_SENT` and
`TYPE_MEMBER_INVITE_FAILED`, which the transcript renders as system notices. The
chat list preview dispatches on the same question the transcript does -- is this
somebody's words -- and a type missing from that check falls through to the chat
bubble branch. A room whose newest line was an invite would have previewed as
"Alice: Invited Bob to the group", which reads as Alice having said it. Exactly
the failure `ChatMessage.MEMBERSHIP_TYPES`' own comment warns about, one screen
over from where it was written.

So `MEMBERSHIP_TYPES` joins the ritual and chronicle sets in
`lastChatMessagePreviewText`. They are not in the AUTHORED sets -- their content
is a whole sentence with the invitee's name already in it -- so they stand alone,
which is what the transcript does with them too. One new test, over all three
types rather than a representative one, since the set is the thing being relied
on.

Nothing else needed reconciling. mantra's pre-join fix filters at indexing time
and deletes the rows outright, so the last-message subquery sees fewer rows and
needs no `memberSince` clause of its own to stay in step with the transcript.

550 jvm tests and 319 android unit tests pass.

5a22592c48 Merge branch 'mantra' into claude/member-invite-transcript-7a2d63
Brings in `ChatRoom.joinedGroupAt` and the pre-join indexing gate, plus schema
v15. No conflict: mantra's only edit to `MarmotOutboundDao` is in
`createMlsDirectMessageChatRoom`, stamping the new column as it builds the
ChatRoom, and every line of this branch's is further down -- `inviteMember`,
`addMembersToChatRoom`, `deliveryWelcome` and the three new announce helpers.

The two changes do meet in one place, and it is worth saying why nothing had to
be done about it. `MIGRATION_14_15` deletes transcript lines, which is exactly
the sort of thing that could quietly eat the lines this branch adds. It cannot:
the delete is scoped to `ChatMessage.UNRESOLVED_MARMOT_TYPES` and to rows whose
`marmotGroupEventId` names an event older than the room, and a membership line
is neither -- it is not a placeholder for an event still to come, and it has no
group event behind it at all. Nor could it ever be in reach, because these lines
are written by the *inviter*, whose own room has no epoch predating them.

828 tests pass -- 526 jvm, 302 android. The six new ones are this branch's.

950deb2288 fix: widen the last of the notary's queues, the one already known to stall
9107b81 left the unsigned Nostr event queue alone on the grounds that it
carries account traffic rather than group messages. It has the same defect, and
unlike the other two it is not a latent one: NostrDao carries a written account
of it having already happened.

**The queue.** UnsignedNostrEventDao.observeUnsignedNostrEvents selected every
unsigned row for a key and returned `Flow<UnsignedNostrEvent?>`, so Room handed
back the first and dropped the rest:

    SELECT * FROM UnsignedNostrEvent
    WHERE pubKey = :publicKey AND signedAt IS NULL
    ORDER BY kind ASC

The only exit is a successful publish. NostrDao.commitPublishedNostrEvent
stamps `signedAt`, stores the signed event and queues a
BroadcastNostrEventRequest per relay, all in one @Transaction. Nothing else
clears it -- no attempt count, no failure status, no sweep -- so a row that
cannot be published is selected again at the head of every later emission.

**It has already happened.** The comment on commitPublishedNostrEvent is the
report: indexing used to share that transaction, so any throw in it rolled
`signedAt` back, "leaving the notary to re-select the same unsigned row forever
and never sign anything queued behind it, including the MLS key package that
goes last". That was closed by giving indexing its own transaction, and
NostrDaoJvmTest pins it. What it did not close is the queue: it fixed the one
known way to produce a stuck row and left the queue as narrow as it was, so the
next way in has the same consequence.

**The frozen variant.** Both other queues sat behind distinctUntilChanged too,
and 9107b81 recorded that they failed by different mechanics depending on
whether the row's `equals` was honest. UnsignedNostrEvent.equals is a plain
value comparison with no @Ignore'd Logger in it, so this is the worse one: the
stuck row's re-emission compared equal to the last, was dropped as no change,
and the collector saw nothing again for the life of the session. Not a retry
loop that never advances -- a collector that has stopped, while rows keep
piling up behind a head nobody is looking at.

**What sits behind the head.** The kinds matter here in a way they did not for
the other two, because `kind ASC` is not an arbitrary order. An account queues
0 metadata, 3 contacts, 10007 search relays, 10012 relay feeds, 10050 DM
relays, 10051 key package relays, and later 30443, the MLS key package -- which
is what "goes last" means, since 30443 is the highest of them.

Sitting in the middle is 10012, the one row of that burst carrying
`privateTags`, and therefore the only one whose publish runs a NIP-44
encryption before it signs. A throw there takes 10050, 10051 and 30443 with
it: both relay lists a peer needs to find this user, and the key package they
need to invite them into a marmot group. The device looks fine to its owner --
the profile is announced, the gate has opened -- and is unreachable to everyone
else. That is the shape of the next stall rather than a hypothetical one, which
is why it is written on the query.

**The fix.** Same as the other two. The query returns the backlog,
NotaryViewModel walks it serially and keeps guardNotarization per row, and
distinctUntilChanged goes. A publish that throws rolls back its own transaction
and nothing else, so the row stays queued for the next pass while the rest of
the account's events go out.

`kind ASC` is kept, and now says why: kind 0 sorts first and NavigationViewModel
holds the user on "announcing your profile" until it lands, so the order is
load-bearing rather than incidental. `id ASC` is added as the tiebreak -- it is
the autogenerated row id, so two events of one kind publish in the order they
were queued, which for a replaceable kind is the difference between the newest
version standing and an older one being published last and winning.

Nothing about the navigation gate changes. It reads the kind-0 LocalAccount's
relations, not the queue's shape, and kind 0 is still the first row of the
first pass.

With this the notary has no single-row queue left. The one remaining
`distinctUntilChanged` in it, on observeActiveMarmotKeyPackageBundle, is
correct: that flow is a state observation -- null means "no active bundle,
make one" -- not a backlog, and re-running the creation on every unrelated
emission is exactly what it is there to prevent.

**Tests.** UnsignedNostrEventQueueJvmTest, seven of them, Room-backed. The
account's real kinds are used rather than an inert one, because their sort
order is the whole reason a stall in the middle of that burst leaves a user
nobody can reach. "an event that cannot be published no longer hides the ones
behind it" fails the 10012 row and asserts the metadata ahead of it and both
relay lists and the key package behind it are all signed, with the stopper
still queued and still unsigned; "an event past the stopper is queued for every
relay" then checks the key package got a pending BroadcastNostrEventRequest per
relay, since per 0211764 a row with `signedAt` and no request is the same
silence in a different place. The rest pin the backlog arriving whole and
lowest-kind first, one kind's rows keeping their insertion order across two
passes, and one key's queue not containing another's.

**Not covered.** The drain in the test is shaped like NotaryViewModel's loop
but is the test's own, so these pin the DAO's half -- the backlog arrives
whole, publishing some rows neither disturbs nor depends on the others -- and
not the collector. Standing that up wants an ActiveWallet StateFlow and the
whole ViewModel with it. A row that can never be published is still never
published; as with 9107b81 it is only no longer contagious, and nothing yet
tells the user which of their events is stuck or why.

Verified: :composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid succeeds; 518 tests pass, 511
before these seven.

9107b81c99 fix: hand the notary the whole queue, not the one row standing at its head
A message sent into a marmot group sometimes sticks on the unsealed icon and
never leaves. It is not that message that is broken. Something ahead of it in
the queue cannot be sent, and because the notary was handed one row at a time,
that row was the queue.

**The queue.** MarmotInnerEventDao.observeUnprocessedMarmotInnerEvents selected
every unsent row for a key and returned `Flow<MarmotInnerEvent?>`, so Room
handed back the first one and dropped the rest:

    SELECT * FROM MarmotInnerEvent
    WHERE publicKey = :publicKey AND marmotGroupEventId IS NULL
    ORDER BY createdAt ASC

The only exit from that queue is a successful send.
MarmotOutboundDao.encryptAndSendMarmotInnerEvent stamps the row with the group
event it became, inside the same @Transaction that writes the event, the
NostrEvent and the BroadcastNostrEventRequests. Nothing else clears
`marmotGroupEventId`, there is no attempt count, no failure status and no
sweep. A row that cannot be sent therefore does not move, and it is selected
again, and again, at the head of every later emission.

Note what the filter is: the sender's key, not the room. One room whose MLS
state is gone silences every group on the device.

**The stopper.** DatabaseMarmotRepository.encryptAndSendMarmotInnerEvent was two
nested `?.let`:

    database.chatRoomDao().findChatRoomById(...)?.let { localChatRoom ->
        localChatRoom.chatRoom.toMlsGroup()?.let { mlsGroup ->
            ...
        }
    }

A row for a room this device holds no MLS state for -- the shape a room
restored from an inbound gift wrap has -- fell out of both and returned. No
send, no throw, no log, and no mark on the row. So the queue manufactured its
own permanent head: a message that could never succeed, reported as though
nothing had happened, sitting in front of everything else forever.
MarmotOutboundDao.inviteMemberToChatRoom already throws
MarmotMissingChatGroupException on exactly this condition, with a comment
saying the point is to "say so instead of silently doing nothing and letting
the caller report success". The send path disagreed with the invite path about
the same missing group.

**distinctUntilChanged.** Both notary collectors sat behind it, which is the
wrong question to ask a work queue. A queue re-emits because its table changed;
that is the signal to look again, not a duplicate to discard. Comparing an
emission against the previous one asks "is this new work?" when the question is
"is there work left?".

The two queues then failed by different mechanics, which is worth writing down
because it explains why the symptom looks like a retry loop in one place and a
dead collector in the other:

- MarmotInnerEvent.equals compares `logger`, an @Ignore'd `Logger.withTag(TAG)`
  initialised per instance. Kermit's `withTag` returns `Logger(this.config, tag)`
  -- a fresh object -- and neither Logger nor BaseLogger overrides equals, so
  two reads of one row are never equal. distinctUntilChanged suppressed nothing
  here, and the notary spent the session retrying the stopper and never looking
  past it. Correct behaviour by accident, resting on a field that is not part of
  the row.
- GiftWrapPayload.equals is an honest value comparison with no logger in it. The
  refused payload's re-emission compared equal and was dropped, so after one
  refusal nothing on that queue was collected again for the life of the session,
  whatever was queued afterwards.

**Why it reads as unsealed.** ChatMessageListViewModel picks its status icon off
three relations, in order: a broadcast receipt, a broadcast request, a
NostrEvent. A queued marmot message has none of them until the notary turns it
into a kind:445, so it falls to the last branch -- KeyOff, "Unsealed message
status". The icon is accurate. The message is exactly as unsealed as it looks,
and will stay that way.

**The gift wrap queue has it too, and a Welcome rides it.** MIP-02 addresses
kind:444 to a joiner who holds no group state and cannot read a kind:445, so
MarmotOutboundDao.deliveryWelcome queues one as a GiftWrapPayload deliberately
-- marmot traffic on the NIP-17 path. That queue had the same single-row shape
and no ORDER BY at all, so which row was "the head" was whatever SQLite
returned first. Two known refusals leave a payload there with `giftWrapSealId`
still null: sealGiftWrapPayload refuses outright to seal a non-Welcome payload
belonging to an MLS room (65e4a3a, and the comment there already named the
blockage this causes), and a Welcome whose joiner published no key package
matches no participant and produces no wraps at all.

**The fix.** Both queries return the backlog instead of its head, ordered
`createdAt ASC, id ASC` -- the same ordering BroadcastNostrEventRequestDao
settled on, and for the same reason: createdAt is persisted at second
resolution, a burst of sends shares one, and an order that is only ever "some
row with this timestamp" lets two passes disagree about what comes next.

NotaryViewModel walks the list and keeps guardNotarization per row, so a
failure costs only itself. It walks it serially and in order on purpose: each
send ratchets its room's MLS state forward and writes it back, and
encryptAndSendMarmotInnerEvent re-reads that state per row, so two sends for
one room in parallel would encrypt from the same generation and the group could
read only one of them.

The two `?.let`s become two throws, which the per-row guard logs. A failed row
writes nothing -- the DAO is one transaction -- so it stays queued and is tried
again on the next pass. That is wanted: a room whose state has not caught up
yet deserves the retry, and a room that never will is at least no longer
standing in front of anybody. The retry is bounded by the fact that it is
Room's invalidation driving it: a pass in which every remaining row fails
writes nothing, invalidates nothing and emits nothing further.

No schema change. The queue's shape was in the query and the collector, not in
the table.

**Tests.** MarmotOutboundQueueJvmTest, eight of them, Room-backed against a real
MlsGroup -- the DAO seam MarmotOutboundDaoJvmTest opened, which 0211764 could
not use and said so. Two rooms stand side by side, one holding real MLS state
and one holding none, and the unsendable row is queued first on purpose because
under the old queue it was the only row the notary ever saw.

The one that matters is "a message that cannot be sent no longer holds up the
ones behind it": the stopper fails, exactly once, and the message behind it in
another room still comes out with a group event and one pending
BroadcastNostrEventRequest per relay -- pending because, per 0211764, that is
the only status the broadcaster looks at and the only thing that actually puts
a kind:445 on a relay. The rest pin the supporting facts: the backlog arrives
whole and oldest first, rows sharing a second come back in the same order
twice, a room with no MLS state and a room that does not exist are each refused
rather than ignored, a refused send writes neither a group event nor a
broadcast request, and two messages for one room each ratchet the group forward
and both leave the queue.

**Not covered, deliberately.** The notary's third queue, unsigned Nostr events,
still has this shape, and UnsignedNostrEvent.equals is a value comparison, so it
is the frozen-collector variant rather than the retrying one. NostrDao.kt's
comment on commitPublishedNostrEvent records that it has already bitten once --
an indexing throw rolled back `signedAt` and "every later event (including the
MLS key package, which is enqueued last) would never be signed at all" -- fixed
point-wise by moving indexing out of the transaction, leaving the queue shape
untouched. It carries account traffic rather than group messages and
NavigationViewModel gates the user on it, so it is its own change.

Nothing here surfaces *why* a message is stuck. A row that can never be sent is
still never sent; it is only no longer contagious. Telling the sender that
would want a persisted attempt count and a place in the UI to put it, which is
also its own change.

Verified: :composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid succeeds; 511 tests pass, 503
before these eight. That a stuck room no longer silences a healthy one is
asserted against a real group in a real database, not inferred -- but that a
second participant now receives the messages that were backing up is inference
from the code, since it wants two devices.

473228bfab feat: show the last message and its time on the home chat list
The row was a centred column with the room's name in it and nothing else. It is
now a row: the name and a one-line preview of what was last said in a weighted
column on the left, the clock on the right.

Both text lines are clipped to one with an ellipsis, the name included, and that
is what keeps the clock on the row. A long subject, or a five-member group whose
title is five names joined with commas, would otherwise push the timestamp off
the edge; a multi-line message would push the next room down the screen. The
clipping is on the title's own composable rather than the row, because that is
where the three ways of building a title live -- a subject, "Note to Self", or
the participant list -- and only one of them being clipped is the shape this
would rot into.

The clock is absent rather than blank for a room with nothing in it. There is no
message time to show, and the room's own creation -- which is what it sorts on
in that case -- is not something the user has any reason to read here. The
preview line carries "No messages yet" in its place, which is the honest state
for a room that exists because it was just made, or because a member joined a
working group and is still waiting on the chronicle to fill it in.

Everything the row renders was decided in the model, so this commit is the card
body and the title clipping and nothing else.

Verified: `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid` builds, and the full
`:composeApp:jvmTest` suite passes at 526 tests, 0 failures -- the 503 that were
there before this branch plus its 23. The layout itself has not been run on a
device; it is checked by compilation and by the model tests behind it.

81965ba2d3 perf: index chat messages by their room
The query in the previous commit reads the newest line of every room the user is
in, once per room, and Room re-runs the whole thing every time a message lands
anywhere. Without an index on `ChatMessage.chatRoomId` each of those lookups is a
scan of every message on the device: work that grows with the entire history
rather than with the room, on the hot path of every arriving message. A device
with ten rooms and a few thousand messages does tens of thousands of row reads to
redraw a list whose visible change is one line of text.

Room has wanted this index since the foreign key was declared and has said so on
every build -- `chatRoomId column references a foreign key but it is not part of
an index. This may trigger full table scans whenever parent table is modified` --
which is the same warning it still emits for a dozen other `chatRoomId` columns.
Those stay as they are; this one now has a reader that makes it matter.

**Schema v15, and Room writes the migration itself.** Adding an index changes no
columns and moves no rows, which is one of the shapes `AutoMigration` handles
without a spec, so this is an entry in the list rather than another manual
migration alongside MIGRATION_13_14.

The generated 15.json differs from 14.json in exactly one place, checked rather
than assumed: `index_ChatMessage_chatRoomId` appears on ChatMessage, and no
table's fields, createSql or other indices move at all.

50feb6fa0c feat: carry each room's newest line with the room, and say it in one line
The home screen listed rooms by name and nothing else, in whatever order SQLite
handed them back -- which for a query with no ORDER BY is rowid, so the list was
ordered by when each room was first written and never moved again. The room
somebody messaged an hour ago sat wherever it was created, indistinguishable
from one nobody has touched since March.

**The query.** `ChatRoomDao`'s room reads now LEFT JOIN each room's newest
`ChatMessage` and order on it. The join is a correlated subquery rather than a
`GROUP BY chatRoomId` with `MAX(createdAt)`:

    ON lastMessage.id = (SELECT id FROM ChatMessage
                         WHERE chatRoomId = ChatRoom.id AND deletedAt IS NULL
                         ORDER BY createdAt DESC, id DESC LIMIT 1)

`MantraConverters` stores an `Instant` as epoch *seconds*, so lines written in
one second tie -- a ceremony puts a dozen into a room faster than that -- and
the aggregate form resolves a tie arbitrarily, which would leave a room quoting
whichever of its last three lines SQLite happened to reach first. `id DESC`
breaks it on write order, which is the order the transcript shows them in, so
the list and the room it opens agree about what was said last.

A room with nothing said in it sorts on its own `createdAt`. The alternative is
sorting it last, which buries a room the user just made under every conversation
they have ever had.

**The flow now re-emits on message traffic**, because the query reads ChatMessage
and Room invalidates on the tables a query touches. That is the point -- a row's
preview and its place in the order stay current without the list asking for
either -- but it is a real change for the other collector of this flow.
`LiveSubscriptionManager.followGroupMembership` maps to group ids through
`distinctUntilChanged()` before its debounce, so the extra emissions collapse
there and no relay subscription churns on an arriving message.

**The carried line is a `ChatRoomLastMessage`, not a `ChatMessage`.** Embedding
the entity would mean aliasing thirty-odd columns onto every room query, and
colliding with the room's own `id` and all four of its timestamps on the way.
Six columns are everything a one-line preview and a clock can be written from.

It is nullable, and every other way of getting a `LocalChatRoom` leaves it null
rather than paying for a join no screen reads. So a null there means "not asked
for" as often as it means "nothing said", which is why nothing hangs a decision
on it beyond what to draw.

**What that line is rendered as** follows the transcript's own dispatch in
`ChatMessageListViewModel`, because the two must not disagree about what a room's
newest activity was:

- a ritual or chronicle line is nobody's words. Its content is written as a
  predicate for an actor's name, so the authored ones get that name in front
  ("Alice published their share") and the rest stand alone ("The group now has a
  shared key"). A name in front of the latter reads as that member having
  announced it, which is exactly the misattribution the transcript renders these
  as system lines to avoid.
- a direct message with blank content is one this device cannot open. An empty
  preview reads as the sender having said nothing, so the line says instead what
  the group can in fact see: that a private message was sent, and to whom.
- anything else is somebody's words, prefixed with who said them -- except in a
  two-person room, where the only other name is already the row's title and
  repeating it says nothing.

Names resolve through the existing `HexKey.memberName` rather than a second copy
of that lookup, so they follow a rename and fall back to a shortened key instead
of dropping the attribution to nobody.

17 new tests. Seven run against a real SQLite, for the parts only it can answer
-- which row the subquery picks, the same-second tie, room scoping, a
soft-deleted last line, and where a room with no messages lands. Ten exercise
the preview text directly, one per shape above plus the unknown-sender fallback.

fd9137ab5a feat: a chat list clock that says only as much as it has to
The one timestamp format this app had, `toFormattedTimeAndDateString`, writes
"14:05 6 Sep 2026". That is right for a message bubble, where it is the only
clock on a line the reader has already stopped at. A chat list row is not that.
Its job is to place a message relative to now, in whatever width is left after
the room's name and the preview of what was said in it -- and a full date on
this morning's message spends all of that saying "today" the long way.

So the new format gets coarser the further back it goes, and never coarser than
the reader can still resolve:

- today, the time of day. Anything less cannot order two of today's rooms.
- yesterday, named. A date here is a small arithmetic problem to read.
- the rest of the last week, an abbreviated weekday. It stops at six days
  because the seventh is this weekday again, and "Sun" on a message from last
  Sunday reads as today.
- inside this year, day and month. Past a week the weekday has stopped saying
  anything.
- beyond it, the year as well, for the same reason one rung up: day and month
  repeat.

Reading a rung too far is the failure mode and it is silent -- nothing about
"Sun" admits which Sunday it means -- so every boundary is a test. Each one is
anchored to the local day rather than to a fixed instant, because the boundaries
are local midnights and the test would otherwise pass or fail on the machine's
zone.

A timestamp ahead of `now` deliberately falls through to a date rather than a
time. Relay clocks disagree and an event can arrive stamped in the future;
rendering that as "14:05" files it under a today it does not belong to.

`now` is a parameter defaulting to `Clock.System.now()`, which is the whole
reason any of the above is testable without a clock abstraction. It is sampled
once per composition, so a list left open across midnight goes on saying "14:05"
until something recomposes it -- acceptable for a list that recomposes on every
arriving message, and not worth a ticker to fix.

Six new tests, one per rung plus the future case.

49c012bf8b fix: a member is not shown the messages sent before they were in the room
A joiner gets the MLS key schedule from their own epoch forward and nothing
before it. The relay does not know that and hands them the whole room: negentropy
syncs down every kind:445 the group ever published, `indexMarmotGroupEvent` read
each one against the group, the outer layer refused, and every refusal wrote an
`undecryptableOuterLayer` line. So the room a member had just been invited to
opened on a screenful of "Undecryptable Message" above the conversation -- one
per message the group had sent before they arrived, none of them ever readable,
and the count only grows with how long the group had been talking.

**The epoch of a kind:445 is inside the layer that will not decrypt**, so an
event this device cannot read cannot be asked what epoch it is from. "From before
we joined", "from an epoch we have not caught up to" and "from an epoch that fell
out of the retention window" are indistinguishable from the outside, and only the
first is permanent. What separates it is not the ciphertext but the clock: it was
published before the group made the epoch we joined at.

**`ChatRoom.joinedGroupAt` is that moment, written down.** The Welcome's
`created_at`, which the inviter stamps as it mints the Welcome out of the Add
commit that made us a member -- so it is the group's own account of when our
epoch began, not this device's account of when it heard about it. A group this
device created sets it to the room's creation; it was a member from epoch 0 and
there is nothing behind it to hold back.

Stored rather than read off `createdAt`, which today holds the same value in both
paths. `createdAt` is row bookkeeping and this decides which of a group's
messages a member is allowed to see at all; the two being equal is a coincidence
of the current code, and hanging the second off the first makes a future change
to when a room row is written into a change in what gets discarded. `memberSince`
is `joinedGroupAt ?: createdAt`, so a room joined before the column existed gets
the fix too -- and gets it from the value every path that sets the column would
have written anyway.

**`predatesMembership` draws the line strictly before**, and that is a judgement
rather than a fact. Nostr stamps `created_at` in whole seconds, so the second the
Welcome was minted holds both the commit that added us -- the last act of the
epoch before ours, unreadable by construction -- and any message another member
sent the instant they applied it. Only one of the two can be had. An unreadable
event kept costs one refused decrypt; a readable event discarded is a message the
member never sees. So the second is kept, and a room may still show a single
placeholder for the commit that added its newest member.

**Two places gate on it.** `indexMarmotGroupEvent` returns before touching the
MLS group, so nothing is decrypted, no `MarmotGroupEvent` row is filed for
ciphertext whose key this device never had, and no line is written.
`reindexMarmotGroupEvents` partitions them out of the sweep entirely: a replay
can say in advance that no pass will ever read them, so replaying them only
spends a refused decrypt per sweep and reports every one as a failure on a room
where nothing is wrong. `MarmotReindexSweep` is untouched apart from carrying the
new count -- it decides how many times to go round, not what is worth going round
for.

**Schema v15, and the migration is the half that fixes devices already showing
the bug.** Nothing rewrites a chat line that is already in the transcript, so
fixing the write path alone would leave every member who joined a busy room
opening it on the same run of placeholders forever. `MIGRATION_14_15` adds the
column and deletes the lines: only the two types in `UNRESOLVED_MARMOT_TYPES`,
and only where the group event behind them predates the room. Those lines say
nothing by design -- they stand in for an event that was never read -- so
removing one loses nothing, while every other line is the final word on its group
event. The group events themselves stay; this is about what the room shows.

The column is left null rather than backfilled from `createdAt`. Null already
means "ask `createdAt`", and copying the value would turn a fallback into a claim
this migration is in no position to make. It is manual rather than an
`AutoMigration` only because of the delete: `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN` appends,
which is where Room's own generated migration for a nullable addition puts one,
and Room compares a table's columns by name rather than by position.

**The reindex report stopped being true**, so it carries the number now. With the
backlog held back, `unresolved` falls to zero and the screen said "Nothing to
reindex - 30 event(s) all read" about a room where 27 of them were never this
device's to read. `MarmotReindexReport.predatingMembership` is reported alongside
`stored`, and the detail screen names it: "3 event(s) all read - 27 from before
you joined". A member invited into an old room is the ordinary case, not an
anomaly to bury in a total.

Seventeen tests. `ChatRoomMembershipWindowTest` holds the boundary, including the
same-second case and both directions of the `createdAt` fallback.
`JoinedGroupAtMigrationJvmTest` runs the migration's own SQL against v14's three
tables and covers what it must not take as carefully as what it must: a
placeholder for an event from *after* the join is left to be recovered, a message
that was read is left alone however old it is, a line with no group event behind
it is out of reach of the rule, and two rooms joined at different times are each
measured against their own join. `MarmotPreJoinIndexingJvmTest` drives the DAO
against a room with no MLS state, which is what separates "left alone because it
predates the join" from "tried and failed".

520 jvm tests and 302 android unit tests pass.

98f766fcd3 fix: put the invite in the room, so a stuck one can be seen
Inviting a member to a group that already had members put nothing whatsoever in
the transcript. Not "put it in late" -- nothing, and nothing ever if the invite
did not complete. So the one failure the user is best placed to notice, an
invite that never reached the person it was made for, was the one the app kept
to itself.

The line existed. It was written by `MarmotOutboundDao.deliveryWelcome`, which
is the wrong place for it, and the reason is the two paths through
`inviteMember` that docs/marmot-membership.md already describes. A group that is
still only its creator has nobody to inform, so its Welcome goes out immediately
and `deliveryWelcome` runs inside the invite. A group that has members must
broadcast a commit first, and its Welcome waits for a relay to acknowledge it --
`DatabaseNostrRepository.broadcastProcessed` picks the stored `MarmotCommitResult`
back up and delivers then. Every invite after a group's first therefore wrote
its transcript line a relay round trip away from the invite, if at all.

**Four separate silences, not one.** Worth listing because only the first is
about the deferral, and fixing that alone would have left the other three:

1. The deferred path wrote nothing until the ack, and nothing ever without one.
2. The write hung off `getMarmotKeyPackageById(...)?.let { getProfileByPublicKey(...)?.let { ... } }`.
   Those two lookups were there to *name* the invitee, and a miss on either cost
   the whole line rather than just the name.
3. `deliveryWelcome` wraps its body in `catch (e: Throwable) { logger.e(...) }`
   and returned Unit, so a Welcome that could not be built reached the log and
   no further.
4. `inviteMemberToChatRoom` is `@Transaction`. An invite that threw -- no MLS
   state for the room, a credential identity that does not match the peer --
   rolled its line back with everything else, which is right, and left no
   account of the refusal anywhere durable.

And the line it did write was `messageType = "message"`, `isUserMessage = true`,
so it rendered as a chat bubble: "Invited Bob to chat", attributed to the
inviter as something they said.

**Three membership types, and the line moves to invite time.**
`ChatMessage.MEMBERSHIP_TYPES` -- `memberInvited`, `memberInviteSent`,
`memberInviteFailed` -- rendered by the transcript as system notices through
`RitualNotice`, the way the ceremony, signing and chronicle lines already are.

`memberInvited` is written by `inviteMember` and by `addMembersToChatRoom`'s
batch path, *when the invite is made*, and deliberately **inside** the caller's
transaction. Both halves of that matter and they pull opposite ways: written any
later and an invite waiting on an ack that never comes shows nothing, which is
the bug; written outside the transaction and an invite that does not survive
`addMember` leaves the room claiming one was made.

`memberInviteSent` is written by `DatabaseNostrRepository` alone. It is not
written on the immediate path, and that is not an oversight: there the Welcome
goes out in the same breath as the invite, so one line is the whole truth. It
would also be a line the transcript could not order -- `MantraConverters` stores
`Instant` as `epochSeconds`, the room query is `ORDER BY createdAt DESC`, and two
rows written in the same second tie. Only the deferred path separates the two
events in time, so only it owes a second line.

`memberInviteFailed` carries the reason, because it is the only copy the user
gets. `deliveryWelcome` now returns `Boolean` and files this line from its own
catch before returning false -- its callers had no other way to see a failure it
had already swallowed, and on the deferred path there is no invite screen left
to fail back to. `addMembersToChatRoom` reads that answer instead of a
`runCatching` that could never catch anything.

**The refusal is written from outside the transaction that rolled it back.**
`DatabaseChatRepository.inviteMember` catches, calls `announceInviteFailed`, and
rethrows. The throw is what puts a message on the invite screen now; the line is
what is still there tomorrow. Swallowing it instead would have popped the user
back to the chat as though the invite had gone out, which is the bug the
existing `runCatching` in `AddMemberToChatRoomConfirmationViewModel` was added
to stop.

**No schema change.** `messageType` is a free-form string column with a default,
so new values need no migration -- unlike the chronicle rename, which had to
rewrite the ones already stored. Nothing reindexes these either: they carry no
`marmotGroupEventId`, so `getResolvedMarmotGroupEventIds` cannot see them and
`UNRESOLVED_MARMOT_TYPES` does not name them.

Six new tests. Four on the DAO: the immediate path leaves a line naming the
invitee where the old code left none, the deferred path leaves one *and* claims
no Welcome sent before any ack, everything an invite writes is a membership type
rather than something the transcript would render as a bubble, and a refused
invite leaves no claim that one was made. Two new ones on
`DatabaseChatRepository`, which had no test file: a refused invite is written
into the room, and the caller still gets the throw.

Still open, and now said plainly in the doc rather than implied: a Participant
row carries no state saying where its invite got to. The transcript narrates it;
the `TODO: Update status of participant Invitation.PENDING -> Invitation.SENT`
is untouched. Nor does an invitee with no published key package reach the room
at all -- that fails in the view model, before there is an invite to write a
line about.

806 tests pass -- 509 jvm, 297 android.

19d57ef3a5 Merge branch 'mantra' into claude/happy-gauss-dbe258
Brings in the Chronicle rename and the deprecation of the row rebuild, and
carries the supersession fix across into the new vocabulary.

Git followed every rename on its own -- `ArchiveManager` -> `ChronicleManager`,
the tests, the docs -- and auto-merged all three files my fix had touched. What
it could not do is rename identifiers inside the hunks it merged, so the fix
arrived speaking the old language: `ChronicleAssemblyJvmTest` still called
`ArchiveManager.assemble` and `ArchiveEvent.decodePage`, which does not compile,
and six doc comments in `ChronicleManager` and `GroupSignedEvent` still said
"archive" -- the exact ambiguity with archiving a chat that the rename exists to
remove.

One real conflict, in the design note, and it is the same sentence twice: my
correction of "a retranslated passage archives once" against the rename of the
uncorrected claim. Resolved to the correction, in the new vocabulary -- the
property still holds, it just stopped being free the moment the chronicle was
read from `GroupSignedEvent` rather than rebuilt from rows, and
`ChronicleManager.currentTranslationsOnly` is what holds it up.

`compileKotlinJvm` passes over a test file that does not compile, so it was no
evidence here; `compileTestKotlinJvm` is. And the filter was re-checked the way
it was written: removing it fails the same three tests, so the merge did not
quietly neuter them.

503 jvm tests and 297 android unit tests pass.

4890906b24 Merge branch 'mantra' into claude/rename-archive-chronicle-a4a8e0
The rebuild deprecation landed on mantra while the rename was in flight, and it
touched the same files by their old names. Git matched the renames itself, so
the only conflict was `ChronicleRoundTripTest`'s header, where both sides had
rewritten the same paragraph: mantra's says this file is now the gate on a
deprecated fallback rather than on the only path, which is the newer and truer
claim, so it wins and the rename is applied on top of it.

Everything the merge brought in went through the same substitution as the rest:
the nine `@Deprecated` messages and the "Retiring the rebuild" checklist all name
`ChronicleManager`, `ChronicleRoundTripTest` and docs/member-chronicle.md, which
are the files that now exist.

797 tests pass -- 500 jvm, 297 android. The five new ones are the migration's.

ea11e8b233 refactor: call it a chronicle, and keep "archive" for what a user does to a chat
Archiving a chat is an ordinary thing a user will want to do to a conversation,
and it is not this. This is the group's signed record, handed to a member who
joined after the work was done so their room stops being empty. Two unrelated
meanings of one word in one app is a bug waiting to be written, and
`ChatRoom.archiveRequestedAt` is exactly where they would have met: a column on
the chat row, named for the thing that is not the chat.

So the whole feature is Chronicle now -- `press.mantra.compose.nostr.chronicle`,
`ChronicleEvent` (30327), `ChronicleRequestEvent` (30328), the three tags,
`ChronicleManager`, `docs/member-chronicle.md`. The kind numbers do not move;
only the words do.

**The wire tags move too**, `archiveId` -> `chronicleId` and `archivePage` ->
`chroniclePage`, which is free exactly once. Both kinds are new and there is no
old build to stay compatible with -- the design note says so in as many words --
so the alternative was carrying the old spelling on the wire forever to save a
rename that costs nothing today. The recipient tag stays `p`; it was never ours.

**Schema v14, because two things had the old word written into stored data.**

`ChatRoom.archiveRequestedAt` becomes `chronicleRequestedAt`, renamed rather than
dropped and re-added: while it is set it is the only record that a device with an
empty room has already asked the group for its history, and a device that lost it
mid-flight would ask again on its next launch, and the one after that.

The three `ChatMessage.messageType` strings become their `chronicle*` spellings,
rewritten rather than left to a legacy constant the way `dkgApprovalNeeded` was.
These lines cannot be regenerated -- a chronicle is announced once, when it is
requested, sent and applied -- and an unrecognised type is not skipped by the
transcript. It renders as an ordinary chat bubble, so "Caught up on 12 items"
would come back attributed to a member as something they said.

`MIGRATION_13_14` does both, because Room can rename a column and cannot rewrite
rows in the same breath. `ALTER TABLE ... RENAME COLUMN` needs SQLite 3.25, which
`getRoomDatabase` guarantees by pinning `BundledSQLiteDriver`, and the column is
in no index, no foreign key, and there is not a view or trigger in the database
-- so nothing has to move with it. Five tests hold the two halves apart: the
value survives, the column keeps its position, a room that never asked still
reads as never having asked, the three types are rewritten, and every other type
is left alone.

**`isArchivable` is `isChroniclable`**, on the "recyclable" pattern, and it keeps
its job unchanged: the allowlist that stands between a replayed
`GroupKeyStateEvent` and the apply path.

No behaviour change beyond the rename. 797 tests pass.

87ef129de5 fix: archive the translation that stands, not every draft of it
Follow-up to reading the archive out of `GroupSignedEvent` rather than rebuilding
it from rows. The two sources do not hold the same thing, and one place where
they differ reaches the archive.

`ChatMessage.applyInnerEvent` supersedes a translation chunk: retranslating a
passage changes the text and so the event id, so the arm drops the row it
replaces -- newest by the timestamp the group signed at, id breaking a tie. The
record does not, and should not: a signature is the group's statement and
discarding one is not that table's business. So a passage translated three times
leaves one row and three events.

While the archive was rebuilt from rows that difference was invisible, because a
sender simply had nothing but the group's current answer to each passage. Read
from the record it is not: measured on a seeded room, one retranslation leaves
one row and puts **two** payloads in the archive, and it compounds -- every draft
a group ever signed would travel in every archive it ever sends, for as long as
the room exists.

**The rule is the applying arm's, restated rather than approximated.** An archive
that shipped one translation as current while the recipient settled on another
would have both validly signed and nothing downstream to notice they disagree, so
`currentTranslationsOnly` groups by `(translationChapterId, chunkId)` and keeps
the maximum by `(createdAt, id)` -- the same comparison, spelled the same way.

Dropping the drafts is safe precisely *because* the recipient applies that rule
too. This is not what keeps them correct; it is what stops them being sent work
they would discard on arrival.

Grouped per passage rather than per chapter, or retranslating one passage would
take every other passage's translation with it. A translation naming no passage
is left alone rather than lumped in with the rest: it is unappliable either way,
and letting one stand in for a whole passage would let a malformed event suppress
a good one.

Three tests, and all three fail if the filter is removed: a retranslated passage
leaves one row, two recorded events and one payload; three translations signed in
the same second settle on the same id the row keeps, which is what pins the
tiebreak to the applying arm's; and two passages each keep their own, which is
what a group-by-chapter mistake would fail.

Two documentation corrections alongside it. docs/member-archive.md said "a
retranslated passage archives once" as a property of the rows, which stopped
being true the moment the record became the source -- it now says what makes it
true again. And `GroupSignedEvent.verifies()` said a false means the row's
columns have drifted from the event they came from. That is the reading worth
acting on and it is not the only one: a room never derived from its group's key
signs as the bare threshold key rather than as its own id, so a perfectly good
event there fails and cannot be made to pass, the key it would need being absent
from the row and unreachable from one.

498 jvm tests and 297 android unit tests pass.

c66f085681 refactor: deprecate the row rebuild, and write down what goes with it
`assemble` reads `GroupSignedEvent` now and rebuilds from `Mantra*` rows only
what that table does not hold, which is work signed before it existed. The
rebuild is therefore on its way out rather than merely second in line, and this
says so where a reader will actually meet it -- at the call site, from the
compiler -- instead of only in a paragraph they have to find first.

**Nine `@Deprecated` markers, and they are load-bearing as documentation.** The
eight `toXEvent()` methods and `ArchiveManager.rebuiltEventsOf`, each carrying
the same sentence: this is the fallback for pre-v13 work, read the event off the
table instead, and it goes when the last such install does. That raises nine
warnings in `commonMain` today, all of them inside the walk itself, so the
deprecation is visible in every build without anything failing over it. The
level is `WARNING` deliberately -- the code is still called, still correct, and
still the only thing standing between an older room and an empty archive.

**The checklist is a new section in docs/member-archive.md**, because the
interesting part of this removal is not the eight methods, it is everything
around them that is easy to take out by association or leave behind by accident.

*What goes*: the walk and the version-label recovery inside it, the union in
`signedEventsOf`, the eight rebuilds, and `ArchiveRoundTripTest` entire -- all
ten cases, which exist to hold the rebuild up and cover nothing else. Its own
header still opened with "signed events are not stored as events", which stopped
being true two commits ago, so it now says what it is: the gate on a deprecated
fallback, deleted with what it guards.

*Two already-dead cousins to sweep at the same time*, named because they will
look like part of the rebuild to whoever does the removal and are not:
`MantraTranslation.toTranslationEvent`, which nothing has ever called, and
`MantraTranslationChunkProposal.toTranslationChunkEvent`, on a model that is not
even a `@Database` entity.

*The tests that seed without recording*: in `ArchiveAssemblyJvmTest` the
`apply`-only seeding **is** the rebuild path, and two of its cases are about the
union specifically and mean nothing without it. `ArchiveApplyJvmTest` seeds its
sender the same way but is testing delivery rather than assembly, so it needs
the recording call *added* -- otherwise it quietly starts asserting against an
empty archive, which is the same silent-success failure this whole feature is
about.

**What only looks like it goes, which is the half worth writing down.**

The `isArchivable` filter in `signedEventsOf` is not part of the rebuild and
becomes the only thing standing. It is there *because* of the record: the walk
could only ever produce document kinds, so nothing needed filtering while it was
the source, and the table holds every kind the group has signed -- starting with
the `GroupKeyStateEvent` every room signs as its first act. Dropping it with the
walk turns every room's archive into an `IllegalArgumentException` from
`ArchiveEvent.build`. Two cases fail with exactly that if it goes, which is the
guard against removing it by association rather than by decision.

The verify filter in `assemble` stays too. With the rebuild gone it checks
events that were verified before they were recorded, so it cannot fail in
practice -- which is the argument for keeping it, not against. "Cannot happen"
is the state it exists to preserve.

`Mantra*.signature` and `Mantra*.publicKey` are explicitly *not* on the list.
They were what made a row rebuildable, and since v13 `groupSignedEventId` says
whether the group signed a row and points at the proof -- so they are arguably
redundant. But four test files assert on them and `MantraTranslationContributor`
builds a contributor list out of one, and it is a twelve-table migration with
its own tests to rewrite. It should be decided on its own merits, not ride along.

**The precondition cannot be checked, and the section says so plainly.** No
query answers "does any install still hold pre-v13 work" -- a device that
upgraded is indistinguishable from one that never had any, and the rows that
need rebuilding are on other people's devices. What is observable is the
`signedEventsOf` log line, which fires only when the rebuild actually
contributed something; fleet-wide silence is evidence and not proof. The cost of
getting it wrong is named as well, because it is not loud: the member keeps
their own rows and reads the room normally, and only loses the ability to
*answer* a request with the older half of the group's work -- so a newer member
asks, is answered, and receives an archive that is quietly short.

No behaviour change. 495 jvm tests and 297 android unit tests pass.

a69d80d38f feat: archive the events the group signed, not rebuilds of its rows
`assemble` read the archive out of `Mantra*` rows, rebuilding each payload with
`toXEvent()` and standing or falling on that rebuild being byte-identical to
what was signed. It had to: nothing kept the events. `GroupSignedEvent` keeps
them now, so `signedEventsOf` reads the record first and rebuilds only what the
record does not hold.

**The rebuild stays, as the fallback, keyed by id.** A room whose work predates
v13 has no events on file, and dropping the walk would silently empty its
archive -- the failure mode being that a member asks for the history, a member
answers, and nobody notices the answer was blank. So both sources are read and
unioned by event id, which is also what a half-upgraded room needs: older work
only the rows remember, newer work on file, and neither half complete on its
own. The fallback can go once no install still carries pre-v13 work, and
`ArchiveRoundTripTest` is what holds it up until then.

**The allowlist does real work on the way out now, and this is the part that
would have bitten.** The rebuild could only ever produce document kinds, because
those are the only rows it walks. The record holds every kind the group has ever
signed -- and every room signs a `GroupKeyStateEvent` as its first act, so one
is on file in every room that has signed anything at all. `ArchiveEvent.build`
refuses a non-archivable kind with `require`, so an unfiltered read does not
quietly ship a key state: it throws, and the room's entire archive fails on the
one event every room has. `signedEventsOf` therefore filters on
`isArchivable` before anything else, which is the same rule `applyPage` applies
on the way in. Removing that one line fails two tests with exactly that
exception, which is how I know they are load-bearing rather than passing for the
reason I expected.

**An artifact whose initial version row is missing now archives.** The rebuild
has to recover the version label from that row -- `fromArtifactEvent` drops it,
so it is not on the artifact -- and logs and gives up without it, which is a
hole in the archive for any device that applied half a batch. Read from the
record there is nothing to recover: the label never left the event. That is the
case that makes the record the better source rather than merely the faster one,
and it has a test of its own.

**One verify filter over both sources**, because the rule is per event and not
per source: nothing leaves that the recipient could not check for themselves. A
drop still means different things on each side -- a member's own rumor sitting
in the same table as the group's work, versus a row that has drifted from the
event it recorded -- and the comment now says so, since the log line cannot.

**Ordering is unchanged where it matters and looser where it does not.**
`inApplyOrder` is a stable sort by dependency rank, so the union only affects
order *within* a rank: a room holding some work both ways can order two chapters
differently from a member holding one way only. Pages are idempotent and applied
payload by payload, and two members already differed by the order their rows
were written in, so this costs nothing.

`rebuiltEventsOf` still runs on every archive even where it contributes nothing,
because there is no way to tell a complete record from a partial one without
doing the walk, and it is a handful of indexed queries against a room's own rows.

495 jvm tests and 297 android unit tests pass. Five new cases in
`ArchiveAssemblyJvmTest`, which seeds through the real inbound path and now
records the same batch the way `FrostSigningManager.complete` does: payloads
compared byte-for-byte against what was signed, work held both ways travelling
exactly once, a genuinely room-signed key state left behind, a signed kind the
archive has no arm for left behind, and the artifact the rebuild has to leave
out archiving from the record. The existing assembly and end-to-end tests seed
without recording, so they go on covering the rebuild fallback unchanged --
which is why they all still pass, and why that is evidence rather than luck.

8f9e4de82e feat: keep what the group signed, and the path it signed as
A quorum signing something is the most expensive thing this app does and, until
now, the least recorded. `FrostSigningManager.complete` verified the signature,
handed the event to `ChatMessage.applyInnerEvent`, and let it go. What survived
was whatever the row it became happened to keep -- an artifact keeps its
`signature` and `publicKey`, a translation contributor list keeps nothing at all
because that arm is still a TODO, and a kind this build has no arm for keeps
nothing anywhere. The signature is the group's statement; the rows are one
reading of it. `GroupSignedEvent` is where the statement itself now lives, at
schema v13 behind an `AutoMigration(12, 13)`.

**The columns are `NostrEvent`'s, not a summary of one.** `id`, `publicKey`,
`kind`, `tags`, `content`, `signature` and the event's own `created_at` as
`createdAt`, so what is stored is an event rather than a description of one.
That is what makes `verifies()` answerable from the row alone: it delegates to
`GroupKeyStateEvent.isSignedByRoom`, which asks whether the author is the room,
whether the id is the hash of the fields sitting next to it, and whether the
signature checks out. No ceremony, no key state and no path have to be on hand
first -- which is exactly the position a member added after the ceremony is in.

**The derivation path is the point of the exercise.** `publicKey` is the group's
threshold key walked to `derivationPath`, and for a room that walk is also the
room id -- see docs/shared-key-derivation.md, where those are one value. Without
the path there is no way back from a signature to the ceremony behind it: a
threshold key alone does not say which of a group's rooms signed, and a room id
alone cannot be walked backwards. `GroupKeyState` records the path for the room;
this records it for the event, so an event stays checkable after the room's
state is gone or was never known. Null means the untweaked threshold key, the
same meaning it carries on `FrostSigningSession.derivationPath`, which is where
the signing path is copied from -- resolved from the room by `signingPath`,
never from a proposer.

**Two writers, and both file only what they have already checked.**
`FrostSigningManager.recordSignedEvents` files a whole batch in one write, after
every item's signature has verified and before any of them is applied -- a
session's events are one decision by one quorum, so half a batch on file is a
state no reader should have to reason about. `ArchiveManager.applyPage` files
each payload it accepts, after the allowlist and
`GroupKeyStateEvent.isSignedByRoom`, reading the room's path once per page from
`GroupKeyState` rather than once per payload. Neither failure is the caller's:
recording throws are logged and swallowed, because a ceremony that succeeded
must not be reported as failed over a row this device could not write down.

**The archive half is what makes a recipient more than a dead end.** A member
handed their history used to end up holding the rows and none of the events --
able to read the group's work, unable to prove any of it, and unable to build a
page for the next member to arrive. Now the events land too.

**`record` merges rather than overwrites, and that direction is deliberate.**
The same event reaches a device twice by design: once when the session that made
it completes, once from any archive page carrying it. The second arrival is the
poorer one -- an archive knows no session, and on a member who joined after the
ceremony no derivation path either -- so the incoming row fills gaps and never
empties them. The event's own fields are not merged because they cannot
disagree: the id is the hash of them, so two rows under one id either hold the
same event or one of them is not the event it claims to be.

**Every `Mantra*` row points back at it.** `groupSignedEventId` on all twelve
entities that carry `marmotGroupEventId`, stamped by `ChatMessage.applyInnerEvent`
through a new defaulted parameter. On a group-signed row it is the only
provenance there is: both Marmot ids are null, because there is no group event
and no inner event behind one -- a signed event authored by the threshold key
cannot travel as an inner event at all, since the outbound pipeline re-authors
rumors as their sender and would strip the signature off. The column is only set
when the record actually landed, so a row never points at an event that is not
there.

**`ArchiveManager`'s own doc said something that is no longer true.** It opened
with "signed events are not stored as events", stated as present-tense fact and
load-bearing for the paragraph under it. Corrected there and noted at the head
of the same section in docs/member-archive.md, which is a phase history and so
gets a note rather than a rewrite. Assembly still rebuilds payloads from rows via
`toXEvent()` and the round-trip gate still holds it up: a room whose work
predates v13 has no events on file, and rebuilding is the only way to reach it.
Reading assembled events from the table is worth doing once that fallback can be
dropped.

**Two things this deliberately does not touch.** `ChatMessage` gets no such
column -- it is not a `Mantra*` row and already carries `frostSigningSessionId`
for the lines that need to name a session. `MantraTranslationChunkProposal` has
a `marmotGroupEventId` but is not a `@Database` entity and nothing in
`composeApp/src` references it, so it was left as the dead code it is rather
than grown a column.

Rows are not backfilled by the migration. The events they came from are gone,
and minting an id for one would point a row at a signature nobody can produce;
null reads as "this device does not hold the event behind this row", which is
true of every row written before today.

490 jvm tests and 297 android unit tests pass. `GroupSignedEventDaoJvmTest` is
eight cases against a real 2-of-3 quorum rather than a stub signature, because a
fake one would satisfy every column assertion and prove nothing -- it covers the
round trip, the path walking back to the row's own author, the merge in both
directions, batch ordering, and a row edited after the fact no longer verifying.
`SignedGroupKeyStateTest` adds the end-to-end claim over two devices: a batch of
three signed in one session lands as three events on both, each at `m/9420/0/0`
that neither device was told and both derived from the room they stand in.
`ArchiveApplyJvmTest` asserts the receiver ends up holding the events and not
only the rows, and that the four forgeries in its adversarial page become no
signed-event rows either -- a forgery filed there is one the recipient goes on
to hand to everybody else.

47aa79ebc7 feat: archive the translated text too, now that the group signs it
The merge brought in two commits that close the gap this feature was written
around, so the allowlist grows from six kinds to eight.

`feat: sign an artifact's first version with it, not derive it after` makes the
version the second item of the artifact's own signing batch. `feat: ask the group
to sign a chunk's translation, not just save it` puts a quorum behind the prose.
Both were done for their own reasons and neither was about the archive, but they
are exactly what the archive was missing: an archive can only carry what its
recipient can check, so a derived version and a member-authored translation could
not travel. A new member got the whole structure and none of the words.

**30301 and 30309 do not go on the end of the list.** The order is the foreign
keys: a version sits between its artifact and the chapters hanging off it, and a
translated chunk hangs off both a source chunk and a translation chapter, so that
one really is last.

**`toArtifactVersionEvent` had the bug this predicted it would.** It emitted
[artifactId, alt] where `build` emits [alt, artifactId], so the id did not
round-trip -- the same fault fixed on `MantraArtifact.toArtifactEvent` in Phase 3,
in the second of the three unused rebuilds, and for the same reason: nothing had
ever called it, so the "tag order matches build" claim in its comment was never
checked. `toTranslationChunkEvent` was already correct. Both now have a
round-trip case, which is what makes the difference between a rebuild that is
right and one that has not been contradicted yet.

**`signedEventsOf` walks two steps further**, emitting each version and the
translation chunks under each translation chapter. A retranslated passage
archives once: the arm that applies a translation chunk drops the one it
supersedes -- newest by the timestamp the group signed at, id breaking a tie --
so what a sender holds, and therefore what travels, is the group's current answer
to each passage rather than its drafts.

**The seeds had to change with it.** Both database tests derived the artifact's
first version by applying the artifact, which is exactly what stopped happening;
they now sign it through `ArtifactVersionEvent.initialVersionOf`, the way the
batch does. That also removes the one exception in the end-to-end assertion:
every archived row is now authored by the room and carries a signature, where the
artifact version used to have to be excused for having neither.

480 tests pass. The plan's Phase 3 table, its built-vs-plan table and its "what
this does not do" section are updated -- what an archive cannot do is down from
two things to one, and the remaining one is that it still cannot make its
recipient able to sign.

f3984e838c test: prove the catch-up row by row, and say what an old build makes of a page
Phases 8 and 9 of docs/member-archive.md. The tests ran in the phases where the
code they cover first existed -- the way the batch-signing note's did -- so this
is what was missing from them, plus the rollout note, plus the plan marked built.

**Compared row by row, not by count.** The end-to-end test asserted the two
databases held the same *number* of artifacts, chapters and chunks. That is not
the claim: two databases can hold the same counts and disagree about every row,
and a rebuild that lost the group's signature -- or re-authored a row as whoever
sent it -- would pass a count and fail the only thing an archive is for. It now
compares `(id, author, signature)` per row across every archived kind, and then
asserts each one is authored by the room and carries a signature.

The artifact version is the one exception, and it has to be: nobody signs it, it
is derived from the signed artifact on arrival. Which is exactly why it is not
archived, and why a chapter's foreign key survives without it.

**An old build does not ignore an archive page, it renders it.** Phase 9's first
draft said an old build "files it as unsupported, exactly as it does today for
anything it does not know" -- true, and it reads better than it lives. An
unsupported row's content is `event.toJson()` and it renders as an ordinary chat
bubble, so every member on an old build sees each archive page as a raw-JSON
bubble of up to `MAX_PAGE_BYTES`, once per page.

Nothing breaks and nothing is lost, but a group mid-upgrade gets a genuinely
unpleasant transcript, and that is worth knowing before the first archive goes
out. So the rollout rule is stated rather than implied: the receiving half ships
safely on its own -- phases 1-4 send nothing -- and no member starts sending
until every member understands kind 30327. The mitigation if that ever proves
unacceptable is the one the appendix rejects for other reasons, and it is named
there so the trade can be weighed rather than rediscovered.

**The plan is marked built**, with a table of the five places the implementation
chose differently from the plan and why: nine archivable kinds became six, a
count cap that could never fire, queueing moved a phase later, a re-read that was
never needed, and the rollout note above. Phase 8 also records the three tests
that were not in the first draft, each written because something passed for the
wrong reason -- a cap that could not fire, an out-of-order test on an archive
that was never out of order, and a sweep whose "still missing" count included
failures a later pass had already fixed.

a315b86918 feat: say in the transcript that a member is being caught up
Phase 7 of docs/member-archive.md, in part. Three chat types --
`TYPE_ARCHIVE_REQUESTED`, `TYPE_ARCHIVE_SENT`, `TYPE_ARCHIVE_RECEIVED` -- so a
room that fills itself in explains itself once.

Without this the archive is entirely silent by design: it files no line per
applied payload, because `ChatMessage` has an `autoGenerate` primary key and
every payload would mint a fresh row on every pass of the sweep. The result was a
member joining a working group and watching a room populate with no account of
where any of it came from, which is worse than the noise it avoided.

**One line per archive, not per page.** The received line is written when the
request stamp is cleared, which is as close as this can get: an archive's pages
are not distinguishable from each other at apply time, and clearing the stamp is
exactly the moment a catch-up stops being pending. There is a test that delivers
a payload per page, backwards, so the sweep runs repeatedly over many pages, and
asserts the transcript holds two lines.

**A push behind a Welcome writes nothing**, because the room was never asked. It
lands before the member has opened the room, and "caught up on work you have not
seen yet" is a line about nothing. Also tested.

**The received line names no sender.** An archive can be assembled from pages
sent by more than one member, so attributing the catch-up to one would be a guess
dressed as a fact. The sent line does name its recipient, written into the
content the way the invite line writes one -- which does not follow a rename, and
is the accepted cost for a line about something that happened once.

**Content is whole sentences**, so these stay out of the AUTHORED sets and
nothing prefixes a name to them. And they are added to `ARCHIVE_TYPES` with a
matching arm in the transcript, because the failure mode for a missed set is
silent: the line renders as a chat bubble, looking exactly like a member having
said "Caught up on 12 items". Icons per type rather than the `PanTool` fallback.

**Two items from this phase are deliberately not done**, rather than written
without the app in front of me: the banner saying a room is catching up, and a
"Send history" action on the member row. The first is UI state plumbed through a
view model into a layout and the transcript line covers the same ground; the
second is a convenience, since both real paths are already automatic. Both are
written up in the plan as outstanding, along with the thing this phase was also
meant to say and does not: that an archive does not make its recipient able to
sign, and does not carry the translated text.

6d8866c2b0 feat: offer a new member the group's work alongside their welcome
Phase 6 of docs/member-archive.md, and deliberately the phase after the one that
makes it unnecessary. `deliveryWelcome` now queues an archive for the member
being invited, so in the ordinary case they have the group's signed work before
they think to ask for it.

**This is a latency optimisation, not the mechanism.** A page queued behind the
Welcome is not delivered after it: they are different transports -- a relay-borne
gift wrap and a kind:445 -- with no ordering between them, and a page that
overtakes the Welcome is from an epoch ahead of the invitee's, so
`MarmotInboundManager` drops it outright rather than deferring it. Nothing
retries and the inviter sees a success. That is the failure in
docs/marmot-membership.md wearing new clothes, and the only thing that closes it
is the invitee asking once they are demonstrably in the group, which Phase 5
already does on their first open of the room.

So nothing here reports failure to the inviter. A push that does not land is the
ordinary case the pull exists for, and it sits inside `deliveryWelcome`'s own
catch alongside the Welcome it rides behind. A room with nothing signed queues
nothing and still invites.

**One call, two occasions.** `ArchiveManager.answer` becomes `sendTo`: answering
a request and pushing behind a Welcome are the same operation and differ only in
who decided, so it is named for what it does rather than for either occasion.

Also corrects the plan. Phase 6 claimed the room had to be re-read between the
invite and the assembly, for the same reason sequential invites re-read it. It
does not -- that rule is about the MLS snapshot a commit is built on, and this
runs downstream of the commit over `Mantra*` rows, which no commit touches.

Two tests against a real `deliveryWelcome`: inviting into a room with signed work
queues exactly one archive page addressed to the invitee, and inviting into a
room with none queues no page while still writing the Welcome's gift wrap.

873203e4b4 feat: let a member with none of the group's work ask for it
Phase 5 of docs/member-archive.md, and the half that makes the whole thing
reliable. A device opening a room it holds no signed work for asks the group;
any member holding the work answers, addressed to whoever asked.

**A request cannot lose the race a push loses.** Pushing an archive at an invitee
is an application message in the epoch the add created, and one that overtakes
the Welcome is dropped rather than deferred -- silently, while the inviter sees a
success. That is marmot-membership.md's failure mode arriving in a new costume.
Sending a request cannot lose it, because being able to send one is the proof it
was won: a device that can put an application message into the room has processed
its Welcome and is at the group's epoch.

It also covers three things no invite-time push reaches, and they are answered by
one rule because they are indistinguishable from inside the database: a member
added after the work, a reinstall whose invite is long past, and a second device
that was never invited at all. Hence the crude condition -- no dialects and no
artifacts -- rather than anything that tries to tell them apart.

**Anyone may answer and nobody is elected to.** A duplicate answer costs
bandwidth and nothing else: pages are idempotent and every member who is not the
named recipient ignores them. So the stand-down that would avoid the waste is an
optimisation to add later rather than a correctness gap to close now. A member
with nothing signed answers nothing at all, which is the honest reply from one
still catching up themselves, and beats an empty archive that looks like an
answer.

**Queued with no chat line**, the way a signing message travels. Broadcast does
not depend on one -- `encryptAndSendMarmotInnerEvent` inserts its
`BroadcastNostrEventRequest` unconditionally, which is what let the FROST rounds
travel with no transcript -- and an archive that filed a line per page would put
a row of envelopes in the room's history. One line per archive is the right
number and it is not writable from here, since the pages are indistinguishable
from each other at this point.

**Schema 11 -> 12**: `ChatRoom.archiveRequestedAt`, nullable, so Room generates
the migration. It stops a device asking again on every launch while an answer is
in flight. Rooms written before it read back null, meaning "never asked", which
is true of all of them and harmless.

Cleared as soon as an archive applies anything -- not when a sender's page count
claims the archive was complete. A page count is the sender's word about the
transfer rather than about the group's record, so a member who left work out must
not get the last word on whether to ask again. A partial answer is followed by
another request rather than by silence.

The trigger is opening the room, through `ChatRepository` rather than from the
view model into the database. Cheap to call every time: it stops at a room that
already holds work and at one still waiting. A failure is not reported, because
nothing acknowledges a request and the next open asks again.

Eight tests: a device with nothing asks and does not ask twice, a device with
work does not ask, answering queues pages addressed to the asker with every
archivable kind in them and no chat line, a member with nothing signed answers
nothing, a member does not answer themselves, an applied archive clears the stamp
so a partial answer can be followed up, and the whole round trip -- ask, answer,
apply -- leaves the joiner holding the sender's rows.

ed4410b972 feat: apply an archive a member is sent, and sweep what arrived too early
Phase 4 of docs/member-archive.md, and the half where the security lives. A
member who holds no share, took part in no signing session and cannot decrypt a
word of the room's history now ends up with the same rows as everybody else --
and gets there without trusting whoever sent them.

**Intercepted in `fromGroupEventResult`, not in `applyInnerEvent`.** An archive
is neither a document nor a submission, and deciding whether to act on one needs
the active key, which `applyInnerEvent` has no business knowing. That is the same
reason the gift wrap above it is handled there, so it sits next to it.

**Verification per payload, framing per page.** A forged payload costs itself and
nothing else -- the rule `MarmotInboundManager` already uses for a forged direct
message, and for the same reason: this runs inside the inbound transaction and
one bad event must not take the room down with it. Refusing the whole page would
also let a single forgery deny an entire archive. The page's own framing stays
all-or-nothing, because a page that will not parse has lost the thing that says
what it contains.

**The allowlist runs before the signature check, and it is not a formality.**
Verification admits an event to the apply path on the strength of the group's
signature, which makes every kind the group has ever signed replayable by any
member at any time. There is a test that puts a genuine, still-verifying
`GroupKeyStateEvent` in a hand-rolled page -- `ArchiveEvent.build` refuses to make
one, which is the outbound half of the same rule -- and asserts the receiver's key
state does not move.

**The chat line is dropped, deliberately.** `ChatMessage` has an `autoGenerate`
primary key, so there is no id to dedupe on and every applied payload would mint
a new row: a synthetic transcript dated now, and another one on every pass of the
sweep. The archive restores the work. The conversation is forward secret and
stays gone.

**A device that is not the named recipient does nothing.** It can read the page --
it is an ordinary group message, and it is the group's own history -- but it
already holds the work, and re-applying would rewrite every one of its rows to
point at an archive page rather than at the event that introduced it. That is
also what bounds the sweep: only the member being caught up ever builds the list.

**The sweep needs no table.** Pages arrive over relays in no order, so page 3 can
land before page 2 and its chunks have no chapter to hang off. Those throw a
foreign key violation and would be lost -- except the inbound path already stores
every inner event it decrypts, so re-reading them is the same shape
`FrostSigningManager.replayStoredMessages` has, for the same reason: nothing was
lost, it just had nowhere to go at the time.

Two things about the loop, the second found by a test:

Progress is measured by *failures falling*, not by rows written. "Repeat while a
pass applied something" does not terminate, because every write is an upsert and
succeeds forever. What strictly decreases is the count that threw.

And the result is the last pass rather than the sum of them. Accumulating counts
a payload once per pass it survived and reports failures a later pass went on to
fix, so `failed > 0` stops meaning "still missing" -- which is the only question
a caller asks it. Caught by strengthening the out-of-order test to assert that
the page completing an archive leaves nothing behind, rather than only that the
rows matched: without that, the test passed while reporting fourteen failures on
a fully converged database.

Seven tests over two real databases with the pages carried by hand. The one that
matters puts four forgeries in a page beside one honest dialect -- the room's id
as author with a made-up signature, a real quorum of another group, an event
edited after signing, and a member's own rumor, which is what everything on the
wire looks like today -- and asserts the receiver ends with exactly the honest
one. The rest: a full catch-up matches the sender row for row with the group's
signature intact, pages delivered backwards converge and are asserted to have
really failed first so the test cannot pass for the wrong reason, an archive
files no chat lines, a bystander applies none of it, and applying the same
archive twice changes nothing.

acff66a22e feat: rebuild the group's signed record out of the rows it left behind
Phase 3 of docs/member-archive.md. `ArchiveManager.assemble` walks a room's rows,
rebuilds each into the event the group signed, drops anything it cannot prove,
and cuts the rest into pages. Nothing sends one yet.

**The gate found a real bug, which is why it was the gate.** Signed events are
not stored as events -- `FrostSigningManager.complete` applies one and what
survives is a `Mantra*` row -- so an archive has to rebuild them with `toXEvent()`
and stands or falls on that being byte-identical to what was signed. Every
`toXEvent()` in the codebase turned out to be unused in production, written for
exactly this and never called, so the "tag order matches build so the event id
round-trips" comments on them were claims nothing had ever checked.

One was wrong. `MantraArtifact.toArtifactEvent` put the alt tag last where
`ArtifactEvent.build` puts it first, and left out the version metadata tag
altogether -- because that tag is not on the artifact row at all.
`fromArtifactEvent` reads the artifact's own fields and drops the version label,
which `applyInnerEvent` has by then turned into the artifact's first
`MantraArtifactVersion`. So the label is now a parameter, read off the initial
version: the one whose `createdAt` is the artifact's, since `initialVersionOf`
derives it from the same event.

Neither fault would have surfaced as an error. Both produce a well-formed
artifact whose id no longer matches its fields, which every receiver drops as a
forgery, silently, one kind at a time. `ArchiveRoundTripTest` now signs each
archivable kind with a real quorum, files it as a row, rebuilds it and asserts
the signature still covers what comes out -- plus the negative case, that
rebuilding with the wrong version label fails as a forgery rather than as a
mistake, which is why the assembler reads the label rather than defaulting it.

**The allowlist narrows from nine kinds to six, and this is the finding to read.**
Only six of the thirteen nip30303 kinds ever reach a signing session; the rest
travel as member rumors, vouched for by the MLS frame they arrived in and by
nothing that survives leaving it. An artifact version is derived rather than
signed -- which is fine, because applying the archived artifact derives it again
and the chapters hanging off it keep their foreign key. Nothing builds a
`TranslationEvent` at all. The contributor lists have no arm in `applyInnerEvent`
that writes a row.

And `TranslationChunkEvent` -- **the translated text itself** -- is submitted by
`MantraDao.saveTranslation` as its author's rumor, because a translation is one
member's work rather than a group decision. So an archive restores everything a
translation hangs on and not the translation: a new member gets the dialects, the
artifacts, the chapters, the source chunks, which translations exist and their
chapter scaffolding, and none of the prose. That is a real limit rather than a
detail, so it is written into the allowlist's own doc comment, into the plan's
"what this does not do", and into a test named after it -- with the three ways
out sketched and none of them taken here, because the cheapest gives up the
property the rest of this rests on and the best is a product decision about
whether translating is an act of the group or of a member.

**Nothing unverifiable leaves.** Every rebuilt event is checked with
`isSignedByRoom` against the same room id the recipient will use. Not politeness
-- the receiver checks anyway -- but so the page count says what will actually
arrive: a row from a member's rumor is dropped here rather than by the recipient.

**Walked down the tree, not queried per kind.** Only dialects and artifacts have
a by-room query and the rest hang off a parent, and the walk is also what puts an
artifact's version label within reach. Order is settled afterwards by
`inApplyOrder` rather than by the walk, since the walk groups by artifact and the
foreign keys are by kind.

**Paging is greedy against both caps**, because they bind different archives: a
room of one-line dialects hits the count first and a room of chapters hits the
bytes. An event too large for a page of its own is dropped with a log rather than
failing the archive -- a chapter nobody can archive is a hole, a member who gets
nothing is a bigger one.

Assembling only; queueing moved to Phase 5, where the thing that decides when to
send lives. That keeps this testable against a real database with no outbound
path in the way.

Seven tests over a real in-memory database seeded through `applyInnerEvent`
itself, so what is archived is what a member's device really holds rather than
rows built to suit the test: every payload verifies, all six kinds appear exactly
as often as they were signed, the whole archive is in dependency order end to
end, a member's unsigned dialect sitting in the same room is left out, an empty
room archives nothing without failing, and two archives of identical rows do not
share an id -- which is what stops two members answering one request from having
their pages counted towards each other's total.

6e04f6c7af feat: give the group's signed record an envelope it can travel in
Phase 2 of docs/member-archive.md. Two kinds, three tags, a codec and two caps.
Nothing sends or applies one yet -- that is phases 3 and 4 -- so this changes no
behaviour at all.

`ArchiveEvent` (30327) carries a page of the group's signed events, each whole,
keeping its own id, author and signature so the receiver checks it rather than
believing it. `ArchiveRequestEvent` (30328) is how a device with none of it asks.

**Why not one `SubmissionEvent` per event.** The envelope fits and the meaning
does not. A submission is an *act* -- this member is putting this event in front
of this group -- and an archive asserts nothing; it re-delivers what the group
already agreed. On one kind a four-hundred-event backfill is indistinguishable
from four hundred new submissions and every device has to guess which it is
reading. It would also be one inner event and one kind:445 per payload where a
page is one, and the submission arm of `applyInnerEvent` files a chat line per
payload, which an archive must not.

**Why 3032x and not 30313.** 30313 is free beside the nip30303 document kinds
and is not used, on `FrostSigningEvents`' own advice: the DKG's 30310-30316
already overlap that range and are told apart only by living in NIP-17 gift wraps
instead, which it calls "an accident of routing rather than a decision, and the
next family added should not rely on it." This is that next family. 30327 is also
the right neighbourhood on the merits, next to `GroupKeyStateEvent` at 30326 --
an archive is a statement about the record rather than a document kind.

**One list is the apply order and the allowlist both**, because a separate
allowlist is one more thing that can disagree with the order it is applied in.

The order is Room's rather than nostr's: every archivable kind has a foreign key
on the one before it, and kind order is not dependency order -- a dialect (30304)
has to land before an artifact (30300), and a translation chapter (30308) hangs
off a translation artifact version (30306) which hangs off an artifact version
(30301). So it is a list, not a `sortedBy { kind }`, and there is a test that
fails if anybody makes it one.

It is an allowlist first. Verification admits an event to the apply path on the
strength of the group's signature, which makes every kind the group has ever
signed replayable by any member at any time. A `GroupKeyStateEvent` is
group-signed and passes verification perfectly, so an archive carrying an old one
is a validly signed statement about what the room signs with, replayed by whoever
kept a copy. Nothing but this list stops it. The contributor-list kinds (30305,
30307, 30310) are left out on the same principle from the other side:
`applyInnerEvent` has no arm that writes a row for any of them, so archiving them
would cost bytes and restore nothing.

**All-or-nothing parsing, per-payload verification.** These are not in tension;
they answer different questions. A page that will not parse has lost its framing,
and one silently shortened by an element would report a complete archive on its
page count while holding less than it says. A payload whose signature does not
verify is a well-framed page with one bad event in it, and costing its honest
neighbours would let a single forgery deny an entire archive.

**The count cap was 256 and 256 can never fire.** An event carries 64 characters
of id, 64 of pubkey and 128 of signature before it says anything, so the floor is
about 370 bytes and a 64 KB page cannot hold much past 170 of them -- the byte
cap always binds first and the count cap is a check that never runs. Found by
writing the test that a page at exactly the cap still decodes, which failed. Now
128, where both bind something: the count stops a page of many small payloads,
the bytes stop a page of few large ones. That test is what fails if somebody
later raises one number without the other, and the doc comment says they have to
move together.

**The `p` tag is a hint, not access control**, and `ArchiveRecipientTag` says so
where it is defined. The page is an ordinary group message and every member can
read it, which is right, because it is their own history going back to them. What
it decides is who *acts*: a device that is not named applies nothing, since it
already holds the work and re-applying would rewrite every one of its rows to
point at an archive page rather than at the event that introduced it.

`ArchivePageTag` refuses an index outside its own count rather than clamping it.
The pair is how a receiver decides it has everything, so a repaired one would let
a truncated archive read as complete.

Twenty-one tests over the codec, both caps, the allowlist, the order and the
tags. Also corrects the phase-2 section of the plan, which still said 256.

bd5e0413f0 refactor: check a group's signature against the room id, not against a key
Phase 1 of docs/member-archive.md. No wire change, no behaviour change, and one
function where there was one.

`GroupKeyStateEvent.isSignedByGroup` did three things: walk a threshold key to
the room it derives, compare that to the event's author, and check the id and the
signature. Only the first of those needs a key. The other two need the id the
walk produces -- and a room's id *is* that value, held from both ends by
`GroupKeyState.verifies` and `FrostSigningManager.signingPath`.

So the walk splits off and `isSignedByRoom(event, chatRoomId)` is what remains:
the same three checks, with the one input a caller might not have already
resolved. `isSignedByGroup` becomes the one-line caller that walks first, and
every existing call site and test is untouched.

**Why this is worth a commit of its own.** A member added after the ceremony
holds no `DkgSession`, no share, and -- until a state is re-announced, which
nothing does -- no `GroupKeyState` row either. Under the old signature they could
not check a group signature at all, and an archive of the group's work would have
had to be believed because a member said so. Under the new one they check it
against the id in their own Welcome, and the sender of an archive stops needing
to be trusted. That is the property phases 2-9 are built on, so it lands first
and lands alone.

**The catch moved and had to be kept.** `marmotGroupId` is now called outside
`isSignedByRoom`, so `isSignedByGroup` keeps a `runCatching` of its own.
Without it a threshold key that is not a point stops being a refused state and
becomes an exception in the middle of the inbound path -- every input here is off
the wire, and the whole contract of these functions is that malformed means no.
There is a test that fails if the catch is dropped.

**Tests**, added to `GroupKeyStateTest` where the FROST key material, the second
group and the real-quorum `groupSignature` helper already live:

- a room's id is the only key its signature verifies against -- the same group's
  sibling room fails, and so does another group entirely;
- the verifier does not care what kind it is looking at, over four kinds
  including `GroupKeyStateEvent` itself. That last one is not incidental: a
  key state signed by the room passes exactly as a dialect does, which is why
  the archive needs an allowlist of kinds on top of this and cannot read "the
  group signed it" as permission to apply it;
- a rumor nobody signed is not a group signature -- empty sig, member author,
  which is what every nip30303 event on the wire looks like today;
- claiming the room as author proves nothing without the signature. The room id
  is in the h tag of every kind:445 the group has sent, so writing it into
  `pubKey` is free; the author check and the id check both pass and the signature
  is the whole feature;
- an event edited after signing fails on the id, not on the signature -- and the
  original still passes, which is why the id check is not redundant;
- malformed input is a no rather than a throw, on both forms.

3ee1676a04 docs: plan handing a new member the group's signed history
A member added after the work was done sees none of it, and nothing in the app
will ever show it to them. Two independent reasons, and the second is the one
that surprises people.

MLS gives no history: a Welcome carries the ratchet tree at the current epoch,
not the transcript, and `MarmotInboundManager` drops anything from an epoch it
holds no keys for. That is forward secrecy working rather than a gap to close.

But group-signed events never travel at all. `FrostSigningManager.complete` says
so in as many words -- a signed event authored by the threshold key cannot go out
as an inner event, because the outbound pipeline would re-author it as its sender
and strip the group's signature off -- so every device *derives* the finished
event from its own `FrostSigningItem` rows. A member who was not in the session
has no items, and no later message carries the event. So the second problem does
not follow from the first and is not fixed by fixing it: even a member who could
decrypt the whole back-transcript would still hold nothing an artifact, chapter
or chunk could be built from.

Which makes an archive not a convenience but the only path, and fixes the line
the design has to hold: **it carries what the group signed, never the chat.**
Restoring the chat would undo forward secrecy on purpose, and a signed event is
the only thing a new member can check for themselves.

**The property the whole plan rests on is already true.** A room's id *is* the
group's threshold key derived at the room's path -- `GroupKeyState.verifies` and
`FrostSigningManager.signingPath` hold that invariant from their own ends -- so
`isSignedByGroup`'s three checks collapse to `event.pubKey == chatRoomId`, an id
check and a signature verify. No key state row, no threshold key, no path, no
lookup. A member who can name the room can verify its signatures, which is
exactly the position a new member is in, and it means the sender of an archive
does not have to be trusted at all.

**Two guards the plan makes non-negotiable.** Nothing on the inbound nip30303
path verifies a signature today, and that is currently correct: rumors carry an
empty sig and are authenticated by the MLS frame, so nothing on the wire has ever
claimed group authorship. An archive is the first thing that does, so the verify
is the feature's entire security rather than hardening on top of it.

And verification turns "group-signed" into an admission ticket for the apply
path, which is a wider door than it looks: a `GroupKeyStateEvent` is group-signed
and would pass perfectly, so an archive could replay a genuine old one and
re-point what the room signs with. The archive therefore carries an allowlist of
document kinds, checked outbound and independently inbound -- the same shape, and
the same reasoning, as the cap on `k` in frost-batch-signing.md.

**Push and pull, in that order of appearance and the reverse order of
importance.** Pushing an archive after the Welcome is what the question asked
for, and on its own it fails the way marmot-membership.md describes: it is an
application message in the epoch the add created, so one that beats the Welcome
there is dropped rather than deferred, silently, while the inviter sees a
success. So the joiner asks instead -- a request is proof it has processed its
Welcome, and it covers the reinstall and the second device, which no invite-time
push can. The push stays as a latency optimisation, deliberately phased after the
thing that makes it safe.

Nine phases: the verifier, the events, assembling an archive, applying one and
the sweep that lets pages arrive out of order, the request, the push, UI, the
cross-device tests, and rollout. The sweep needs no new table -- the inbound path
already stores every inner event it decrypts, so it is the shape
`FrostSigningManager.replayStoredMessages` already has.

Also written down, because it is the first thing this will be reported as a bug
for: an archive lets a new member *read* everything and does not let them sign
anything. `proposeSigningBatch` wants a secret share and a place in the ceremony,
and a group that re-runs its ceremony derives a different room rather than
re-keying this one. Closing that needs share resharing, which is a great deal
more work than this and is the thing to build after it.

c8b62e606e feat: sign an artifact's first version with it, not derive it after
A chapter attaches to a version rather than to an artifact, so the first version
is the parent of everything a group later translates. It was not signed. Every
device rebuilt it from the artifact on arrival, which put a row on disk naming
the group as its author and carrying no signature to show for it -- a parent
vouched for by its own signed children rather than the other way round.

The reason was written into both ends: a first version proposed on its own would
cost a second quorum for one form. That is an argument against a second session,
and it stopped being an argument at all once a batch existed. `proposeSigningBatch`
is one ceremony, one approval and one transcript whatever k is.

The same reasoning was already overturned once, for the same shape. A chapter's
chunks were briefly derived from the signed chapter's text for exactly this
reason, and they carry their own signatures now. The artifact version is the case
that was left behind, and it needs the same form: `ArtifactVersionEvent` names the
artifact it is of, and that id is a hash over the group's key at the room's path,
so it cannot be known until the proposal is authored. `initialVersionOf` takes the
lead the session built, mirroring `ChunkEvent.splitOf`, and the artifact is item 0
because a version row whose artifact does not exist yet is a foreign key
violation.

Two things had to move with it, and both would have been silent.

`ChatMessage.applyInnerEvent` no longer derives a version under an artifact. The
derived row and the signed one hash differently -- different author, different
timestamp -- so keeping both would have stood two versions against one artifact
and let a chapter hang off whichever it found.

The `ArtifactVersionEvent` arm no longer writes a chat line. It never used to
reach one: a derived version wrote nothing. Signed, it would have put "Added 1.0
to artifact versions" under every "Added In Detention to artifacts", which is the
noise the chunk arm already declines to make beside a chapter.

An artifact signed before this keeps a version label nothing turns into a row, so
its version does not appear. That is what the chapter's chunks cost too.

90c6db7827 refactor: drop the local path a chunk's translation no longer takes
The translation editor was the only caller of `saveTranslationChunk`, and it
stopped calling it when it started proposing. What is left behind is dead: the
method on `MantraRepository`, its no-op for previews, its implementation in
`DatabaseMantraRepository`, and `MantraDao.saveTranslation` underneath them.

Deleting it rather than leaving it is the point. Two ways to create a
translation chunk, one of which bypasses the quorum, is one too many -- the next
screen wanting one would find it and take it, and the group would end up with a
translation in its name that nobody signed.

The rule it enforced does not go with it. Keeping one translation per source
chunk moved to `ChatMessage.applyInnerEvent`, where the row is now made, in the
commit before this one -- and covers more there than it ever did here, since the
group's other members were always able to leave a duplicate behind.

`MarmotInnerEventDao.deleteByPayloadEventId` loses its only production caller
here and stays. It is a DAO query rather than a private helper, the invariant
behind it is still true and still tested -- a submission's id is the envelope's,
so a superseded payload cannot be un-queued by its own id -- and `MantraDao`'s
remaining `addDialect` and `addArtifactVersion` are in the same position:
reachable now only from `MantraDaoJvmTest`, and a decision about the whole
submit-to-group path rather than about this screen.

abbb84bb29 feat: ask the group to sign a chunk's translation, not just save it
Everything else a group's library is made of -- the artifact, its dialects, its
chapters, the translations of it -- is signed into existence by a quorum. The
translation of a chunk was the last thing still being saved: `saveTranslation`
wrote the row on this device and queued a submission, and the group's only
recourse afterwards was social.

That is the wrong way round for this one in particular. An artifact is a link
and a name; a translated passage is a claim about what somebody else's words
mean, made in the group's name, and it is what every reader of that translation
reads instead of the original. If anything in the library deserves a quorum it
is this one.

So the screen proposes rather than saves, the way `AddArtifactScreen` does.
Nothing is written when the button is pressed. What goes out is a proposal to
sign a `TranslationChunkEvent`, and the translation appears on every member's
device at once -- authored by the room's own key rather than by whoever typed
it, since signing runs at the path the room was derived at -- when enough
members have signed.

**The form knows whether it can sign before it offers to.**
`TranslateChunkUIState.Loaded` now carries the room and
`frostSigningRepository.canSign`, so the view model has something to propose
with and the button has something to check. Greyed out with
`semantics { disabled() }` when the group holds no shared key, and the screen
says why: a group without one cannot translate here at all, and that is a dead
end to say up front rather than a proposal to be told about afterwards. The
disabled colours are borrowed from `ButtonDefaults` because M3 gives a FAB no
`enabled`, which is what the artifact and dialect forms already do.

**The index is read off the source chunk**, as the DAO did before it. A chapter
is translated a passage at a time and in no particular order, so counting what
is translated so far would number the translations by who got there first.

**Onto the session, not back to the chapter.** The editor is popped and replaced
by the signing screen: nothing has been translated yet, so a table still showing
the passage untranslated would read as a failure. Back from the session lands on
the chapter table, which is deliberately left alone -- the old flow popped and
reloaded it to reflect a save, and there is no longer a save to reflect.

**`ProposedEvent` learns kind 30309.** Without it, members would be asked to put
the group's name to "Event of kind 30309". A translated passage is summarised as
its position and then the translation itself: the words are the whole of what is
being decided -- signing this is agreeing they say what the original said -- and
the position is what tells the reader which passage to weigh them against.

76b4a78581 fix: keep one translation per source chunk, however it arrives
A translation chunk is never edited. Retranslating a passage means a new event
carrying new words, and an event's id is a hash over its content -- so the
second translation is a row of its own rather than an overwrite of the first.

`MantraDao.saveTranslation` knew that and dropped the row it superseded, but it
only ever saw this device's own retranslations. Everything arriving from the
group went through `ChatMessage.applyInnerEvent`, which upserted and nothing
else. A member retranslating a passage somebody else had already translated left
two rows behind, and `TranslationChapterViewModel` pairs chunks with their
translations by `associateBy { it.chunkId }` -- one of the two wins, and which
one is whatever order SQLite happened to return them in for a query ordered on a
column they share.

So the rule moves to where the row is actually made, and now covers the group's
signatures and the relay's deliveries alike.

**Newest wins by the timestamp the group signed at, not by arrival.** Two
devices catching up read the same events in whatever order their relays hand
them over, and they have to end up holding the same translation either way. An
older translation arriving after the one that superseded it is dropped rather
than allowed to overwrite it. Ties break on the event id -- arbitrary, but the
same arbitrary on every device, which is the whole requirement.

**Matched on the source chunk, not on the chapter.** A chapter holds one
translation per passage, not one translation; matching on the chapter alone
would leave a chapter that could only ever show its most recently translated
paragraph. `getTranslationChunksByChunkId` is the query that says so.

**Tests.** `TranslationChunkApplyJvmTest` covers the three cases against a real
database: a retranslation replaces what it supersedes, a translation arriving
after the one that superseded it is dropped, and two chunks of one chapter each
keep their own. The first two fail against the plain upsert this replaces; the
third is what stops the fix from over-deleting.
