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.

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.

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.

8a23a28e54 fix: let the untranslated side read as text, not as a button
The translation cell was a `TextButton` with its content padding zeroed, which
took care of the padding and left everything else a button brings: Material's
pill shape, a 40dp minimum height, and a ripple rounded to match. So a chapter's
two columns -- the same text, one side not yet translated -- did not read as two
columns of one table. One was prose and the other was a control, and the thing
being offered is not a control, it is the text with an invitation to write it.

It is a plain `Row` now, laid out like the original cell beside it. The click
moves up onto the cell's `Box`, before the 12dp padding rather than inside it,
so the tap target is the whole cell rather than a button indented within it and
the ripple is the rectangle the cell already was. `TableRow` grows a
`rightModifier` to carry that, which is where a modifier for that cell belongs.

Same greyed-out placeholder, same chevron, same destination.

dbdff55ee0 feat: open the proposal a transcript line is about, not the room's latest
Tapping a signing line in the transcript opened whichever session the room was
running, resolved by `liveSessionForChatRoom` -- the newest one not yet finished,
or failing that the newest one at all. That is a guess, and it was a good one
exactly as long as a room had one proposal to guess at. With a chapter and its
translation open together, half the lines in the transcript led to the other
proposal.

The line now says which session it belongs to, so there is nothing left to guess:
it carries `frostSigningSessionId` through to the route. A line written before
that column opens the room's proposal list instead, which is the honest answer to
a line that cannot say what it meant -- every proposal with its own state, and
the reader picks -- rather than a guess dressed as an answer.

That empties `FrostSigningRoute.sessionId` of its reason to be optional, so it is
required, and `liveSessionForChatRoom` goes with it from the interface, the
implementation and the no-op. `FrostSigningViewModel` loses its resolution step
and the "This group is not signing anything right now" error underneath it --
which was never the right thing to say to somebody who had just tapped a line
about a specific session.

The transcript keeps doing the one job it is good at: showing a proposal as it
happens, and saying whether it is still asking something of you. What it stops
doing is standing in for a list of them.

116cc96de4 feat: give a group's proposals a screen of their own
The transcript is where a proposal is met, and it is a bad place to keep one. It
answers one question -- is this still asking something of you -- in the middle of
everything else the room said that day, and then it scrolls. Until now the only
other way in was a signing screen that resolved "the room's live session", so a
room with two proposals open had one of them reachable and the group's history
had none of it.

So: one row per session, newest first, live. The ones still waiting on the reader
are gathered under "Waiting for you" and the rest follow, because they are two
different kinds of thing to read -- the rest is what the group has done, those
are what it is waiting on this member for -- and because burying the second open
proposal under the first one's history is the whole failure this screen exists
to answer.

**Each row carries its own state, from the same rule the signing screen uses.**
Whether a proposal still has a decision in it is asked of
`FrostSigningManager.isAwaitingApproval` rather than worked out again here, so
the list and the screen behind it cannot come to different answers about the same
session. The rest of the status is the session's own stage said briefly: you
agreed and it is waiting on n of m, you are one of the signers, enough members
took part without you, signed, or -- for an abandoned one -- its failure reason,
because "declined on this device" and "the group could not agree" are different
things to have happened and the reason is the whole content of the ending.

**Named after the lead item.** A batch's first item is the one the rest hang off
-- a chapter's chunks carry the chapter's id -- so the chapter names the row and
the count says the rest of it. An item that could not be read is said on the row
rather than left for the screen behind it: a batch is all-or-nothing, so an
unreadable item is a reason to refuse the whole proposal.

**One query, not one per row.** `LocalFrostSigningSession` embeds the session and
relates its items and its proposer, and `observeSessionsForChatRoom` becomes a
`@Transaction` query over it -- the repository already declared that method and
nothing called it, so this is the shape it should have had rather than a second
query beside it. The model sorts the items rather than the query: Room does not
order a relation, and item order is protocol rather than presentation, since two
devices reading a batch in different orders aggregate against different messages.
The proposer is joined for the reason the transcript joins a sender -- so a
rename follows, and a member seen only as a pubkey is not stuck on the
placeholder their profile was created with.

**Derived once per emission.** Every row's events come out of stored JSON. That
is not work to repeat on each recomposition of a scrolling list, so the view
model does it when the flow emits and the screen renders what it is handed.

Reachable from the group's detail screen, beside Shared Key and gated the same
way: a shared threshold key only means anything in a room where every member is
an equal admin, and a room with no key to sign with has nothing to propose.

**Tests.** FrostSigningSessionDaoJvmTest covers what the list reads -- two
sessions in a room come back newest first, each with its items in `itemIndex`
order despite the relation's own order, and with the proposer resolved to a name.

4047a2bae9 refactor: say what an event is in one place, not on one screen
`FrostSigningScreen` turned an event into words -- "New chapter", "Genesis 1 ·
797 words · 31 chunks" -- inside a private composable, which was the right place
for it while one screen was the only place a proposal was ever seen.

The room's list of proposals is about to need the same words, and two copies of
this mapping is two names for one thing. They would not drift immediately; they
would drift the first time a kind is added and only one of them learns about it,
and the reader would meet an artifact on one screen and "Event of kind 30300" on
the other.

`ProposedEvent.summarize` is the same `when`, moved whole, returning a label and
a detail instead of a `Pair` so the two halves are named where they are read. Not
a composable and deliberately: nothing about naming a thing needs a composition,
and a plain function can be called from a view model, which is where the list
does it -- once per emission rather than once per recomposition of a scrolling
row.

The reasoning moved with it, because it is reasoning about the words rather than
about the screen: a member deciding whether to sign is deciding about a dialect
or an artifact, "kind 30304" answers a question nobody asked, and the raw kind
stays for anything unrecognised since refusing to describe an event is better
than describing it wrongly. What stays on the screen is what is true only there:
a batch is all-or-nothing, so an event that cannot be read is a reason to refuse
the whole proposal rather than a gap to render around.

No behaviour change. Same strings, same order, same fallback.

4de87edf12 fix: tell one proposal's transcript lines from another's
A room with two proposals open showed "Review" on both, and then dropped it from
both the moment either one was decided. The second proposal was still waiting on
the reader, still had a decision in it, and had nowhere left to be reached from.

Two proposals at once is not a corner case any more: a chapter and the
translation scaffolding beside it are proposed as separate sessions, on purpose,
and they run at the same time. Both write the same line types into the same
stretch of transcript.

`answeredRequests` matched a request against any later line of the fulfilling
type, and `settledRequests` against any later ending. That reads a room signing
one thing at a time exactly right -- the nonce after the request is the answer to
it, because there is nothing else it could be an answer to -- and a room signing
two things at once exactly wrong. Nothing else on the row could separate them:
same type, same room, same minute, and `ChatMessage` carried no session.

So the session goes on the row. `ChatMessage.frostSigningSessionId` is nullable,
added as schema v11 through `AutoMigration(10, 11)`, and stamped by
`FrostSigningManager.announce` -- the one place every FROST line is written, so
there is no line that can be forgotten. Both rules read it when both rows have
one and fall back to the clock when either does not.

The fallback is not a compromise, it is the right reading of the rows it applies
to. A line written before this column has no session and never will, and the
rooms that wrote those lines could not run two sessions at once, so the clock is
the whole truth there. A ceremony line falls back too and always will: a room
runs one ritual at a time, and a DKG step is either taken or still waited on.

**This reverses a call `FrostSigningRoute` argued for.** Its note said a chat row
carrying a session id was "a poor trade for a lookup the screen can do". That was
right when the lookup could only be wrong about which of one session it meant.
The batch work made two sessions ordinary, and the lookup and the rules both
became guesses at the same moment. A column on the table every message uses is
the cost; two proposals, one of them unreachable, was the alternative.

**Tests.** Three in TranscriptRequestStateTest for what the column buys: a nonce
answers its own session's request and not the other's, one session completing
settles nothing in the other, and a line naming no session is still read by the
clock. TranslationBatchProposalJvmTest proves the other half against a real
two-session proposal -- every FROST line the manager writes names its own
session, and neither session's lines are attributed to the other. The rule is
tested on rows and the stamping is tested on a database, because a rule that is
right about rows nothing writes correctly is worth nothing.

3fade6c849 feat: propose a long artifact's translation in more sessions, not none at all
An artifact of more than MAX_CHAPTERS_PER_TRANSLATION chapters could not be
translated. The form refused, said so in red, and left nothing to be done about
it -- the chapters are already signed, and unlike a chapter's paragraphs there
is nothing the person reading that message can split. It was a cap on how long a
book may be, wearing a cap on a batch as a disguise.

The same answer the chapter side already gives: propose more than once. The
translation and as many chapters as fit go in the first session, and the rest
follow in sessions of their own, naming the translation the first is about to
sign. The admins answer once per session, and the form counts them before the
tap rather than colouring a refusal.

MAX_CHAPTERS_PER_TRANSLATION stays, meaning what it now measures -- how many
chapters ride in the translation's own session, the batch minus the place the
translation itself takes. It is a cap on a session rather than on the work.

The cost is the one every second session in this design carries, and is
documented where it is paid: if the translation fails to reach a quorum while
these succeed, they are valid signatures over rows naming a translation nobody
has, which fail a foreign key on the way in and are logged rather than applied.
The catch-up on the translation is what fills that in afterwards.

**Tests.** TranslationBatchProposalJvmTest now covers the split: an artifact
three chapters past the cap proposes a full first session and a second of three,
every chapter of the work covered exactly once across both, in order, each
naming the translation as the group will author it. The refusal test stays and
keeps its point -- one session is still refused a chapter too many, because a
batch that quietly dropped its last chapters would sign a translation the group
believes covers the whole work while the end of it can never be translated. What
changed is who prevents it: the screen splits rather than checks, and the manager
still refuses independently.

df058dc61c feat: let a translation ask for the chapters it is missing
A translation is scaffolded from both ends now -- the chapters that existed when
it was proposed, and each chapter signed afterwards putting itself in. Neither
end closes the gap on its own, and no snapshot taken at proposal time can.

Two ways they miss each other. A chapter and a translation proposed at the same
moment each read what exists when they are proposed, so neither sees the other
and nothing retries. And a scaffolding session that fails to reach a quorum
leaves nothing behind to try again with -- the chapter's id is spent, since a
re-proposed chapter is a different one.

So the translation's own screen says what it is missing and offers to ask for
it. Above the chapter list rather than below, because a chapter that is not in a
translation is invisible from a list of the ones that are: the whole failure is
that nothing looks wrong.

**Matched on the chapter named, not counted.** `chaptersMissingFrom` compares
which source chapter each translation chapter stands for. A count would read a
translation that is missing its second chapter but picked up its third as one
missing its last, and would then scaffold the wrong chapter -- leaving the real
gap open and a duplicate beside it. It also means running a catch-up on a
translation that is already complete proposes nothing at all, rather than a
second copy of every chapter under fresh ids.

**More sessions rather than a cap.** The missing chapters are chunked at
MAX_BATCH_SIZE, one session each. A translation far enough behind to need more
than a batch holds is not one to refuse; it is one the group answers for more
than once. They share a timestamp, so a catch-up reads as the one act it is.

The screen lands on the first session -- the rest are beside it in the room's
list -- and the card stays until a quorum arrives, which is honest: the chapters
are still missing until then.

**Tests.** Two more in TranslationScaffoldTest, both about the matching rather
than the counting: a gap in the middle, and a complete translation being missing
nothing. Checked against a broken implementation -- taking the missing chapters
as the tail after a count passes on a translation that fell behind at the end,
which is the easy case, and is caught by the gap.

Not covered: `catchUpMissingChapters` itself, which is plumbing over the
templates those tests pin and the batch API the jvm tests pin.

66119f34df feat: put a new chapter into the artifact's translations, in a session of its own
A translation covered the chapters that existed when it was proposed, and
nothing put a later one into it. The chapter was signed, every device applied
it, and in every translation of that artifact it simply was not there -- no
translation chapter to hang translated chunks off, so the text could not be
worked on at all. Invisible from the translation, which lists what it has.

Adding a chapter now proposes twice: the chapter and its chunks as before, then
a second session carrying one translation chapter per translation of that
version.

**Why a second session rather than more items on the first.** Because the two
would compete for one batch. A session signs at most MAX_BATCH_SIZE events, a
chapter is capped at MAX_CHUNKS_PER_CHAPTER paragraphs against it, and every
dialect the group works in would have taken one of those places away. How long
a chapter may be and how many languages it is read in have nothing to do with
each other, and sharing the cap would have moved the first under whoever was
typing whenever somebody else did the second.

Nothing had to be built for a room to run two at once. Every FROST message
carries the session it belongs to and everything is looked up by that id, so
there is no "current" session on a room -- `liveSessionForChatRoom` is a
fallback for a screen opened without one, not state the protocol keeps. And
`itemsOver` mints an independent nonce seed per item per session, so two
sessions running together can no more share an `R` than two items of one batch
can. The cost is one more approval for the admins.

**Naming a chapter nobody has signed yet.** The scaffolding needs the chapter's
id, and the chapter is not signed for as long as a quorum takes. It does not
have to be: the id is settled when the session opens -- it is the hash every
signer puts their share behind -- so the second proposal reads the first
session's item 0. `FrostSigningRepository.unsignedEvents` is that read, the
counterpart of `signedEvents`, which by design gives back nothing until the
group has answered.

**What two sessions give up.** A batch is all-or-nothing; two batches are not.
If the chapter fails to reach a quorum while its scaffolding succeeds, those are
valid signatures over rows naming a chapter nobody has: they fail a foreign key
on the way in, `applySignedEvent` logs them, and they never become rows. Nor is
it recoverable -- a re-proposed chapter is a different id -- so those signatures
are simply spent. Harmless, and the reason the next commit adds a catch-up.

It also does not close the race. A chapter and a translation proposed at the
same moment see neither the other, because both read what exists when they are
proposed. No snapshot can fix that, which is again the catch-up's job.

**Failure is one-way.** Scaffolding runs before navigating, not after: the route
this screen sits on is popped on success, which clears the view model and takes
`viewModelScope` with it, so anything launched afterwards would be cancelled
somewhere in the middle. And a failure to open it is logged and swallowed -- the
chapter is what was asked for and has already been proposed, and losing it
because its scaffolding could not be opened would be the wrong way round.

**The chapter's index, once.** It was read inline into the event; it is now a
val, because the scaffolding has to place the translation chapter at the same
one the chapter is signed at.

`MantraTranslationArtifactVersionDao.getTranslationsByArtifactVersionId` is the
new read, narrower than the by-artifact one: a chapter belongs to a version, and
a translation of an older version is not one it is in.

**Tests.** Three in TranslationBatchProposalJvmTest, against a real database and
a real ceremony. Two sessions coexist in one room with the chapter's own batch
untouched -- the chapter and a chunk per paragraph, whatever the translations --
and every scaffolded chapter naming the chapter of the other session. The caps
do not compete: a chapter of the longest allowed length still proposes with
eight translations waiting for it. And no two items across both sessions share
nonce material, which is the one thing concurrency could actually get wrong;
seeding an item's nonce from its index instead is caught here and by
`SignedGroupKeyStateTest`, which already held the within-batch half of it.

Not covered: that `AddChapterViewModel` opens the second session, which is
plumbing across two dispatchers over templates these tests already pin.

359f54812f refactor: give the translation/chapter join one home
TranslationScaffold owns the rows that join a translation to the chapters it is
a translation of. Pure refactor: the same events go out in the same order,
`TranslationBatchProposalJvmTest` passes unedited apart from the call it makes,
and no screen behaves differently.

The move is worth making before anything is built on it. A translation chapter
carries no words -- it is `(translation, chapter, position)` and nothing else,
and it exists so a translated chunk has somewhere to hang. Both of the things
it joins arrive on their own schedule: a chapter is signed into an artifact
that already has translations, a translation is started on an artifact that
already has chapters. So the same cross product has to be built from either
side, and a second copy of it is a second chance to disagree about what a
translation covers -- a disagreement that shows up as a chapter nobody can
translate rather than as anything that looks like a bug.

**Over ids, not rows.** `chaptersOf` takes translation ids and a
`SourceChapter`, which is a chapter reduced to which one and where it sits,
rather than a `MantraChapter`. Neither end is always a row: a translation being
proposed exists only as the unsigned event a session is about to sign, and so
does a chapter. `SourceChapter.of` is there for the callers that do hold a row.

**Two things it decides rather than leaves to a caller.** Item order is apply
order, so the nesting is fixed here -- translations outer, chapters inner, which
keeps one translation's chapters contiguous and in reading order. And
`createdAt` is taken once rather than read per template, so a scaffolding
proposed as one act reads as one rather than as events that happen to share a
minute.

The index is the source chapter's own, never the position in the list handed
in. They agree when the list is a whole version in order and stop agreeing the
moment a caller holds a subset, and only one of them is what the group signed.

**Tests.** TranslationScaffoldTest covers it as the pure function it is: the
nesting, both directions it is built from, one timestamp for the lot, the empty
cases, and the index surviving a non-contiguous subset. Checked against a broken
implementation -- taking the index from the list position passes every test that
uses a whole version in order, and is caught by the subset.

39e5df8253 feat: sign a translation into the artifact instead of submitting one
Starting a translation no longer creates one. It opens a signing session over a
TranslationArtifactVersionEvent and a TranslationChapterEvent per chapter, and
the translation appears -- on every member's device at once, authored by the
room's shared key rather than by whoever picked the dialect -- when enough
members have signed. The same trade the dialects, artifacts and chapters made:
a submission says "I am putting this in front of the group" and the group's
only recourse afterwards is social, while a signature is the group saying it
and it takes a quorum to say. A translation is what the group's readers will
read the work as, so the second is the honest one.

**The chapters, in the same batch.** A translation with no chapters is one
nobody can start: a translated chunk hangs off a translation chapter, which
hangs off the translation. They travel as their own signed events for the same
reason the chapter's chunks do since 2e133dd -- a row that carries the group's
signature over its own id can be checked by anybody holding it, rather than
only by whoever re-derives it.

That makes this the second caller of `proposeSigningBatch`'s lead/dependents
form, and for exactly the reason the form exists. A translation chapter carries
the id of the translation it belongs to, and that id is a hash over the group's
key at the room's derivation path -- neither resolved until the proposal runs.
A caller computing it would be recomputing `signingPath`, the one input in this
protocol that must never come from a proposer. So the translation is built
first and handed to `AddTranslationArtifactVersionViewModel.translationChaptersOf`,
which lays the chapters out against it. An item naming a translation nobody
signed is not a mistake that can be made rather than one to be tested for.

The lead is item 0 and items apply in `itemIndex` order, which is what
MantraTranslationChapter's foreign key to MantraTranslationArtifactVersion
needs: what is referenced is signed first as well as named first.

**Only existing dialects.** The form's "New dialect" chip and its three fields
are gone, and with them the path that created a dialect on the way to using it.
A dialect is the group's too -- AddDialectScreen has proposed one for signing
since the dialects made this trade -- so minting one as a side effect of
translating would have put a dialect nobody agreed to underneath a translation
the group did. Nothing is selected to begin with, because picking a default
would be choosing the language of the work; the room's own detail screen is
where a missing dialect is asked for, and the form says so when there are none.

**The cost, in front of whoever is looking.** MAX_BATCH_SIZE is 64 and the
translation takes one place, so MAX_CHAPTERS_PER_TRANSLATION is 63. Unlike a
chapter's paragraphs this is not something the person at the screen can shorten
by splitting anything, so it is stated rather than advised: the count is shown
against the cap as chapters load, coloured when past it, and the form will not
propose -- because the alternative is an IllegalArgumentException after the
fact. The view model refuses independently; the screen is not what enforces it.

**What a chapter signed later does not reach.** A translation covers the
chapters that existed when it was proposed, and nothing scaffolds a translation
chapter for one signed into the artifact afterwards. That is not new -- the DAO
this replaces scaffolded once too -- but it is now said where somebody can act
on it, in the form's own line, rather than discovered as a chapter that cannot
be translated. Fixing it properly is its own change.

**What went away.** MantraDao.addTranslationArtifactVersion and its way up
through the repository, including the commented-out chunk scaffolding it had
been carrying. Nothing called it once the screen proposed instead, and leaving
a path that authors a translation under a member's key while the UI insists on
a quorum is the trap eb34c8e removed for chapters.

MantraRepository.addDialect and DatabaseMantraRepository.addDialect went with
it: the new-dialect path was their last caller, so what remained was a
member-authored dialect reachable from any screen that holds a MantraRepository.
MantraDao.addDialect stays, because MantraDaoJvmTest uses it as the worked
example for the `rumorOf` seam that addArtifact, addArtifactVersion and
saveTranslation still run through.

**The screens.** AddTranslationArtifactVersionScreen loads the artifact's
latest version, its chapters and canSign up front and disables the FAB when any
of them is missing, the way the dialect, artifact and chapter screens do; on
success it lands on the session rather than on an artifact the translation is
not in yet. FrostSigningScreen described both new kinds as "Event of kind
30306" and a run of "Event of kind 30308", which is a member being asked to
sign a translation they cannot read; it now reads the dialect name, visibility
and licence for the translation and the position for each chapter.

**Tests.** TranslationBatchProposalJvmTest runs the real proposal against a
real database over a real ceremony, which is where the sharp edge is: item
order, every chapter naming the translation as the group will author it, the
source chapter and position each stands in for, one timestamp across the batch,
and both ends of the cap -- 63 chapters proposes, 64 is refused and leaves no
session behind. Checked against broken implementations rather than only against
a working one: naming the artifact version instead of the signed translation,
taking the index from list position, and stamping the chapters off their own
clock are each caught.

If the first of those came apart the translation would still be signed and
every chapter would still verify -- against a translation id nobody has. They
would fail a foreign key on the way in and the translation would simply arrive
empty, which is the failure worth a database to catch.

392 jvmTest and 244 testDebugUnitTest pass, none of the existing ones edited.

Not covered: applyInnerEvent's upserts, which need a database no test here
stands up, and addTranslation itself, which is plumbing across two dispatchers
over a template and a builder the tests already pin.

2e133dd337 feat: sign a chapter and every chunk of it in one session
A chapter proposal now carries the chapter and a chunk per paragraph, and the
group signs the lot at once. Every row a member ends up with is signed: a
translation is of a chunk, and a chunk that carries the group's signature over
its own words can be checked by anybody holding it, rather than only by
re-deriving it from the chapter it came out of.

This replaces the derivation two commits ago, which split the chunks out of the
signed chapter's text on each device and left them as rumors. That was the
right shape when a chunk could only have its own signature by having its own
quorum. Batch signing removed that, and this is the other side of the trade
`MantraChunk.chunksOf` was weighed against.

**A batch whose items name each other.** A chunk carries its chapter's id, and
that id is a hash over the group's key at the room's derivation path -- neither
resolved until the proposal runs. A caller computing it would be recomputing
`signingPath`, the one input in this protocol that must never come from a
proposer, since the path decides which key the group signs as. So
`proposeSigningBatch` gains a second form: a `lead` template, and a
`dependents` builder handed the lead *after* it is authored, returning the
events that reference it. Every id still comes out of `unsignedEventOf`, which
makes an item naming a chapter nobody signed something that cannot be built
rather than something to be tested for. `AddChapterViewModel` passes
`ChunkEvent::splitOf` and nothing else.

The lead is item 0. Items apply in `itemIndex` order and a chunk row whose
chapter does not exist yet is a foreign key violation, so what is referenced is
signed first as well as named first.

**The cost, in front of whoever is typing.** `MAX_BATCH_SIZE` is 64 and the
chapter takes one place, so a chapter is capped at 63 paragraphs and a longer
one has to be split in two. That is a real limit on real prose. The form counts
chunks against the cap as the text is typed, colours the count when it is past,
says what to do about it, and will not propose -- because the alternative is an
IllegalArgumentException after the fact. The manager still refuses
independently; the screen is not what enforces it.

**What went away.** `MantraChunk.chunksOf` and the derivation it did inside
`ChatMessage.applyInnerEvent`. Chunks arrive as their own signed events now and
go through the `ChunkEvent.KIND` branch that was always there. `ChapterEvent`
still carries the whole text beside chunks that hold the same words: chunk
boundaries are a decision about how to divide the work, and a chapter that kept
only the pieces could never be divided differently again.

**Tests.** `ChapterChunkSplitTest` covers the split as a pure function -- what
each chunk names, counts and carries. `SignedChapterTest` signs a real batch,
one FROST instance per item, and checks every chunk row is authored by the room
and carries a signature over its own id. `ChapterBatchProposalJvmTest` runs the
real proposal against a real database, which is where the sharp edge is: item
order, the chunks naming the chapter as the group will author it, and both ends
of the cap -- 63 paragraphs proposes, 64 is refused and leaves no session
behind. Checked against broken implementations: putting the lead last, naming
the wrong chapter, and stamping the chunks off the clock are each caught, in
both suites.

`jvmTest` runs on linux again as of the merge, which is what made the
database-backed test possible.

Dropped a nonce-reuse test that was in the first draft of this: it asserted
over its own fixture, and `FrostSigningRoundTest` and `SignedGroupKeyStateTest`
already hold the manager to giving every item its own nonce.

e081d14f37 refactor: weigh the chapter's chunks against batch signing, and keep deriving
Batch signing landed on mantra while this branch was open, and it makes the
argument this change was built on obsolete as written. MantraChunk.chunksOf
said the chunks "cannot be events proposed on their own -- that would cost a
quorum per paragraph". They can now: proposeSigningBatch would carry the
chapter and a chunk per paragraph through one quorum, and every row would hold
a signature of its own.

Weighed and declined, and the KDoc now says so rather than leaning on a reason
that stopped being true. MAX_BATCH_SIZE is 64, which caps a batched chapter at
63 paragraphs and fails an ordinary one outright; the text would go on the wire
twice, whole on the chapter and again split across the chunks, and the proposal
is the term that cap is sized against; and all-or-nothing over k items would
make a long chapter less likely to be signed than a short one, for no reason a
member could see. The signature it would buy is redundant besides -- the
appendix rejects the manifest shape because an item then needs a lookup to be
checked, and here that lookup is a foreign key: a chunk is a pure function of
its chapter and cannot be stored without it.

docs/frost-batch-signing.md records this under the slot Phase 7 leaves open --
"deciding *what* to batch" -- because the next caller will reach for the same
shape. The rule it leaves behind: batch siblings, not derivations. Events that
could each have been authored separately are worth a batch; events that are a
function of another event in the same batch are worth deriving instead.

**The merge.** Only SignedChapterTest broke: the five per-item columns moved
off FrostSigningSession onto FrostSigningItem, so it builds an item and calls
signedEvent(item, sig), which is how SignedArtifactTest was ported in the same
commit. Nothing in the flow itself moved -- proposeSigning kept its signature
as the one-event form, and complete() applies each signed event through
ChatMessage.applyInnerEvent, so the chapter's chunk derivation works the same
whether the chapter arrives alone or as one item of somebody else's batch.
