Kgothatso Ngako 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.

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
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

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.
