Phase 4 of docs/npub-profile-preview.md. Phases 1-3 moved the twenty-second
dead end one screen later: a person found on an indexer, a press, and
InitiatingNewChat waiting for a key package that someone who has never opened
Curare will never have published. The preview now reads the answer before the
press. A room that already exists opens; a key package that is here enables
"Start new chat"; one that is not, once the relays have had their time,
disables it with the reason under it and a try-again that asks the DM relays
alone.
The existing-room check was a loop with a TODO inside initiateNewChat; it is
ChatRepository.findDirectMessageRoom now -- a room whose members are exactly
the two keys, or the one key when they are the same -- read by both screens and
pinned by a test on an in-memory database. The old size-one branch would have
opened any room the peer sat in alone, whoever they were.
Both halves are observed together, as the chat screen does: a key package
arriving after the profile touches a different table, and a collect on the
profile alone would never see it. A room is read once up front, because a key
package is meant to be used once and the relays need not hold a fresh one for
someone you already talk to.
