Kgothatso Ngako 0757e50dc5 docs: correct the jvm plan against what phase 1 actually did
Phase 1 is implemented and verified in the lightning-kmp-app fork on
claude/jvm-target-actuals (27a0054). Four things in the plan were wrong,
and doing the work is what surfaced them.

**jvm() belongs at the start of phase 1, not phase 4 -- for the library.**
The plan said leave it off in both builds until phase 4. That is right for
mantra and wrong for the fork: library/src/jvmMain/ is an orphan source
set until the library declares the target, so phases 1-3 would all have
been written blind. Declared first, `:library:compileKotlinJvm` names the
remaining expects, and that list beats grepping for `expect ` -- it
shrinks by exactly what you implement and cannot drift from the truth. The
build stays red across phases 1-3 by design.

That checklist is now recorded as the phase 1 exit condition: exactly
eight expects should remain, and exactly which eight. Anything else means
something in the phase is wrong.

**Phase 3 is two decisions, not four.** gracefulSingleSeedDecryption and
gracefulMultiSeedDecryption are pure exception mapping into a
DecryptSeedResult, and the exception they branch on is
java.security.KeyStoreException -- a plain JCA type that exists on the jvm.
Both are near-copies of the android actuals and need nothing settled
first, so they move alongside phase 2. Only keyStoreEncryption and
keyStoreDecryption are the security decision, and that part of the
analysis stands.

**The Fibonacci template must not be deleted.** The plan said to drop it
"assuming nothing references them". Things do: generateFibi is exercised
by template tests in commonTest, androidHostTest, iosTest, jvmTest and
linuxX64Test, and JvmFibiTest asserts a value that depends on precisely
the two properties fibiprops.jvm.kt defines. That file already satisfies
two of the 25 expects, which is why the count was 23 missing rather than
25. Removing the template is five test files plus four fibiprops.*
actuals, and it is a separate cleanup.

**Phase 1 is fifteen actuals, not fourteen**, and two of them are not
copies of android -- platformElectrumRegtestConf (10.0.2.2 is the
emulator's alias for the host loopback; a jvm process is already on the
host) and phoenixLogWriters (android routes kermit into slf4j because
android tooling reads that back).

Also recorded, because it cost time: a worktree cannot run gradle at all
until the submodules are checked out *and* local.properties exists at five
levels. Neither is version controlled, so a fresh worktree has neither,
and the failure surfaces four builds down at
:...:secp256k1-kmp:jni:android as "SDK location not found" rather than
anywhere obviously related.

Both builds were run: `:library:compileKotlinJvm` fails only on the known
eight, and `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid` still passes with the
library's jvm target declared -- the check that matters, since a new
variant must not change how the android target resolves the library.

mantra docs

Notes on the parts of this app whose behaviour is not recoverable by reading the code alone — where the reasoning lives in a protocol, a failure mode that is silent, or a decision that looked arbitrary and was not.

document covers
shared-key-ceremony.md ChillDKG over NIP-17: the rounds, the approval gates, the chat transcript, participant ordering
shared-key-derivation.md deriving further keys from the group's threshold key with FROST tweaks — why not BIP32, why no chain code, and the one rule that must not be broken
marmot-membership.md how members join an MLS group, and the epoch race that makes a missing member look like a successful invite
mls-skipped-keys.md why a group event that arrives a moment late is dropped for good, which flows trigger it, the quartz fix, and the partial mitigation in this app
jvm-target.md what desktop support would cost, phased — why the native chain is already done, why an empty source set in our phoenix fork is the real blocker, and why DAO tests do not need any of it

Start with the ceremony if you are new to this area; the other two both assume it. Read the skipped-keys note before debugging any "the other device never got it" report — it is silent, and it looks like every other kind of delivery failure.
