The plan's phase 6 becomes a record rather than a proposal, in the shape the earlier phases took: what was built, what was decided and why, what a person still has to look at. Two decisions in it were the product owner's rather than the code's -- promoting search and profile to navigation destinations, and doing chat alone rather than all three list-detail families -- and both are named as such with the date. **The audit learns two things.** It counted `NavigationBar(`, `NavigationRail(` and friends, and reported **zero** for an app that had just grown a navigation bar: `NavigationSuiteScaffold` is what chooses between them per breakpoint, and the concrete component never appears in the source. It now counts the scaffold and its items. And it grew a `floor()` beside `report()`. Every other budget in the file is a ceiling that ratchets down as a phase lands, which is the right shape for literals, hardcoded colours and untriaged nulls -- things a careless edit *adds*. The adaptive work is the opposite: a screen that stops reading the breakpoint still compiles and still renders, and the count goes down. So `--check` now also fails when the adaptive API count drops below 12 or the navigation component count below 2. **Two `contentDescription = null` that the audit caught in this phase's own work** -- the navigation item's icon and the new-chat button's -- now say `Decorative`. Same null, and the same convention phase 3 established: recording that somebody looked is the whole point, and a budget of zero only holds if new code obeys it too.

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 |
| frost-batch-signing.md | signing several events in one ceremony — why one nonce can never cover two messages, and the phased schema, wire and UI work that follows from it |
| marmot-membership.md | how members join an MLS group, and the epoch race that makes a missing member look like a successful invite |
| member-chronicle.md | handing a member added after the work was done the group's signed record — why the events are not on the wire at all, and why the room's id is enough to verify them |
| marmot-direct-messages.md | a one-to-one message inside a group as a stock NIP-59 gift wrap — what its MIP-03 carve-out costs, why the sender cannot read their own, and the one query that would broadcast it |
| 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 |
| long-running-sync.md | the chat subscriptions that stay open instead of pulling once per screen — why the request queue could not simply hold one, and how the group filter follows the room list |
| dead-code.md | code in the sync and relay stack that nothing calls, why each piece is still there, and which of it is a bug rather than a leftover |
| jvm-target.md | what desktop support cost, phased — why the native chain was already done, why an empty source set in our phoenix fork was the real blocker, and why DAO tests need none of it |
| material-design-conformance.md | what the M3 foundations actually require, measured against all 43 screens — the colour pairing that renders the app's own proposals invisible, and eight phases that put the decisions back in the theme |
Start with the ceremony if you are new to this area; the Marmot notes all 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. The sync note stands alone, and the dead-code inventory reads as a follow-up to it. The batch-signing note is a phased plan that has been built: read it after the derivation note, whose one rule is the same one it is built around. The member chronicle note is a phased plan that has not been built, and reads as the membership note's unanswered half: what a member who joins late can be given, and the one thing they cannot. The jvm-target note is unrelated to all of them: it is a build and packaging story. The Material Design note is a phased plan that has not been built, and is the only one about what the app looks like rather than what it does; read the jvm-target note first if you want to know why its adaptive-layout phase exists.
