Summary

Brings voltagecloud/buzz up to date with both upstreams in one PR:

  1. block/buzz main: merges the tip of upstream (4813b8cd1, relay: time every WebSocket read and every stored EVENT outcome block/buzz#9052). That's 376 commits since our desktop-v0.5.28 sync. It's a real merge commit, so upstream SHAs become ancestors of main.
  2. benthecarman/buzz-gpui master: syncs apps/buzz-gpui from v0.2.0 (033bf9e) to 7daeb11 with scripts/sync-buzz-gpui.sh. That's 16 commits of Ben's UI work.

Merge

  • Use Create a merge commit. Do not squash or rebase: both rewrite the upstream commits, and the next sync would conflict.
  • After the merge, rebase open stacked PRs onto main.

block/buzz conflict resolutions (commit 1)

29 files conflicted. Most were places where we and upstream fixed the same thing independently.

Area Resolution
RESULT_GATED_KINDS / p-gating (kind.rs, req.rs, event.rs, filter.rs) Combines upstream's membership notices (44100/44101) with our KIND_SANDBOX_SESSION_CONTROL. Comments merged.
Archived-channel ingest gate Keeps upstream's self-departure and edit-metadata exemptions plus our disabled agent-grant exemption.
handlers/mod.rs Keeps both agent_grant (ours) and artifact_sync (upstream).
HTTP typing indicators (bridge.rs, event.rs) Takes upstream's publish_http_typing, which adds a size cap, the cached serving fence, and the shared channel-ephemeral path. It replaces our #76 version. Our bridge regression test stays.
buzz-acp CLI args Keeps our remote-workspace args and adds upstream's inactivity doc. Our test now passes the new last_activity argument.
Test-flake fixes (#31, #33): buzz-db scratch DBs, nextest cluster-global group, steer run-id test Takes upstream, which re-solved them with its scratch-DB refactor.
deny.toml Upstream advisories; drops our duplicate RUSTSEC-2026-0381 entry; webpki-roots and ringbuf bans combined into one deny list.
Desktop Takes upstream's move of audio into buzz-audio-client, its zip error text, and its autocomplete race fix (block#8680), which replaces our #27. Our now-unused e2e helper and specs from #24 and #27 are dropped. managed_agents/backend_tests.rs stays deleted because #45 moved it to crates/buzz-remote-sessions. Our tauri-plugin-updater git pin stays.
Mobile Remote-agent launch status and launch callbacks re-applied on top of upstream's composer and Me-sender refactors.
Lockfiles Regenerated from upstream's lockfiles. The only additions are fork-only crates.
API follow-ups build_create_channel gained unlisted (reaper tests updated). The accessible-channels cache is now seeded via seed_accessible_channels.

buzz-gpui sync (commit 2)

New from Ben: web link unfurls with hover cards and an on-disk preview cache, a tray dot for any unread message, faster @-mention choices, profiles kept when channel access is lost, inline data: avatars, Mission Control deletes stuck agents, and several fixes.

Ben's master already contains his own versions of our #91 (thread load-older) and #94 (dark-mode inline code), so the five conflicting hunks use his version. AgentService::run_state now takes cx, and the Voltage remote-migration call site is updated to pass it.

Follow-up commit (5f9f857)

Fixes the first CI run turned up. It restores the patched h2, negentropy and rtrb versions in the desktop lockfile, which the regenerated lockfile had rolled back. It removes a leftover isChannelAutocompleteOpen prop from #27 in ForumComposer.tsx. It points the new upstream loadgen-image.yml at our GHCR namespace.

Validation

Run locally:

  • Root workspace: cargo check --workspace --all-targets is clean, and so is cargo fmt --check. Unit tests for the merged crates (core, acp, relay, agent, sandbox-reaper, remote-sessions) pass, about 1,960 tests. cargo-deny passes for all three policies (runtime, mesh, desktop).
  • apps/buzz-gpui (in its Nix dev shell): cargo fmt --check is clean. cargo clippy -p buzz-gpui --features voltage-sandbox --all-targets -D warnings is clean. cargo test --workspace --features buzz-gpui/voltage-sandbox passes everything (about 1,900 tests).
  • Mobile (Flutter 3.47.7, upstream's new Hermit pin): flutter analyze finds no issues, and dart format reports no changes. send_message_provider_test, channel_detail_page_test and test/shared/agents pass (479 tests).

Not run locally, so CI is the check:

  • Desktop: tsc --noEmit passes. The Tauri crate and the E2E tests can't build here because this NixOS host has no GTK dev libraries. desktop/ is kept only so upstream syncs merge cleanly; we don't ship it.
  • Postgres-backed integration tests (just test).

Still to do before ready-for-review, per AGENTS.md: agent review, then exercising the GPUI build (link unfurls, tray dot, @-mentions, Mission Control delete, remote-workspace migration) and a relay smoke test.

## Summary
Mobile clients can now get push notifications for a system channel, but
only when they ask for that channel by its ID. Before this change, the
relay never sent push for system channels, even when a client asked for
one directly.

System channels are channels the app uses for its own purposes (for
example, agent attention). They are hidden from clients that do not know
about them. block#8507 made push use the same visibility rule as normal
reads: a push subscription sees a system channel, or any channel type
added later, only if its filter names that channel ID in `#h`. With that
rule, an older client can never get system channel pushes by accident.
The extra "never push system channels" rule in NIP-CL now only blocks
clients that ask on purpose, such as a future Live Activities
subscription. This PR removes that special case.

### Details
- `push_runtime.rs`: system channels now follow the same rule as other
named-only channel types. The relay still checks membership before it
sends a wake.
- `NamedOnlyChannels::is_system` had no other caller, so it is removed.
- NIP-CL and NOSTR.md now describe the shared rule instead of the ban.
- No behavior change for current clients. They do not name system
channels in their push subscriptions.

### Related issue
Follow-up to block#8507 (see
block#8507 (comment)).

### Testing
- `named_only_channel_pushes_only_to_a_filter_that_names_it` now expects
a wake for a system channel named by `#h`. It also checks that a broad
filter still gets no wake, and that a non-member still gets no wake.
- `cargo test -p buzz-relay --lib push_runtime`, `cargo clippy -p
buzz-relay --all-targets -D warnings`, and `cargo fmt --check` pass.

## Summary
Test-only. This adds end-to-end coverage for the last two system channel
read paths that had none. It changes no behavior.

A system channel is a channel type the relay leaves out of ordinary
reads. A client sees one only when it names the channel or opts in. The
system channels spec lists every read path that must follow this rule.
The Postgres end-to-end tests already covered subscriptions, counts,
search, the HTTP bridge and membership notices, but not these two:

- **Workflows API.** A workflow names its channel, so reading a workflow
in a system channel follows ordinary channel access. Members can read
it. Outsiders can read it only when the channel is open. For a private
one, an outsider gets 404, the same answer as for a missing workflow.
- **Push notifications.** This is database-backed matcher coverage: the
test stores real channel rows, memberships and push leases, loads the
matcher's context from the database, and runs the production matcher. It
builds the match batch directly, so it does not cover the outbox or
gateway delivery. A member's push filter that names no channel gets a
wake for a message in an ordinary channel, but not for a message in a
system channel. A member's filter that names the system channel by `#h`
gets a wake for that channel only (the rule since block#8517). A non-member's
filter gets neither.

### Related issue
Part of the system channels spec (risks section: end-to-end cases for
the workflows API and push). Rebased on block#8507 and block#8517, which made push
follow the read rule: a system channel pushes only to a member's filter
that names it by `#h`. No duplicate PR found.

### Testing
- Both tests pass against local Postgres and Redis on this branch.
- Each test fails when the behavior it covers is removed: without the
named-channel check in the workflows API, a member gets 404 for its own
system channel's workflow; if the push matcher lets a filter that does
not name a system channel match it, the member's broad lease also wakes;
if the matcher never pushes system channels, the named lease does not
wake.
- clippy (`--tests -D warnings`) and fmt pass.

## Summary

On iOS, an authored Markdown link renders as blank when its label is
recognized as a Buzz channel, mention, or custom emoji. For example:

```markdown
[block#2959](https://example.com/)
```

The surrounding text remains visible, but the link has no visible label
or tap target.

Buzz's `_ChannelLinkMd`, `_MentionMd`, and `CustomEmojiMd` components
return `WidgetSpan`s. `gpt_markdown` also renders an authored link
through a `WidgetSpan` and reparses its label through the registered
components. Because the Buzz components were allowed to run inside link
labels, the result was a placeholder nested inside another placeholder,
which does not paint on iOS.

This PR adds the same scope restriction used by `gpt_markdown`'s
built-in link component:

```dart
@OverRide
Set<MarkdownScope> get scopes =>
    MarkdownComponent.allScopesExceptLinkLabel;
```

The override is applied to all three widget-based components. Authored
labels such as `[block#2959](url)`, `[@alice](url)`, and `[:wave:](url)`
therefore remain ordinary link text, while the same tokens outside links
continue rendering as Buzz pills and custom emoji.

The PR also updates the shared test helpers to find `RichText`
subclasses. Since the upgrade to `gpt_markdown` 1.2.1, body paragraphs
can render through `BidiRichText`; `find.byType(RichText)` does not
match that subclass and could allow an absence assertion to pass without
inspecting the message text.

The handling of unknown bare `#tokens` is deliberately unchanged.
Whether those should remain non-interactive pills or become plain text
is a separate product decision.

### Related issue

Fixes block#6124.

This supersedes block#6135. That PR solves the same issue by maintaining a
custom fork of `gpt_markdown`'s link component; this PR instead uses the
scoped-component API already available in `gpt_markdown` 1.2.1.

### Testing

Focused suites:

```bash
flutter test \
  test/features/channels/message_content_test.dart \
  test/features/channels/message_content_custom_emoji_test.dart
```

Result: 95 tests passed, 0 failed.

Additional checks:

- `just mobile-check` — passed; analyzer reported no issues.
- `just mobile-fmt` — passed; 549 files formatted with 0 changes.
- Six new regression tests cover channel, mention, emoji, plain-link
control, and outside-link behavior.
- Removing the `_ChannelLinkMd` override causes two regression tests to
fail; removing `_MentionMd` or `CustomEmojiMd` causes one test to fail
in each case.
- Three tests in `message_content_test.dart` directly assert that the
nested-placeholder structure is absent. The custom-emoji tests
separately verify literal text and the absence or presence of
`CustomEmojiImage`, depending on whether the shortcode is inside or
outside a link.

The complete local mobile suite reports 15 failures that reproduce
identically on a clean checkout of `main` at `44316ff7`. In [CI for that
same commit](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/34238736818),
`Clients / Mobile`, `Mobile`, and `Mobile Swift Domain / Mobile Swift`
all passed.

No native-device screenshot is included. The nested-placeholder fix was
verified through the rendered widget structure, but an iOS simulator
build was blocked by the existing `MLImage.framework` arm64-simulator
incompatibility.

## Summary
Channels are Buzz's main way to control access, but today they cannot
separate reading from writing. In an open channel, anyone who can read
can also write. So there is no way to say "many people read, a few
people write". Announcements, release feeds, plugin release records and
shared configuration all need that.

This PR adds **announce channels**: anyone can follow and read them, but
only members can post. It does this with one new channel setting and
without changing what any role means.

- **Roles mean the same thing in every channel.** A *guest* can read and
leave, but cannot write. A *member* (or *bot*) can write. *Admins* and
*owners* also manage the channel. The relay already had the guest role,
but no client used it until now.
- **A new setting, `join_role` (`member` | `guest`), picks the role a
new person gets** when nobody chooses one: when they join by themselves,
or when someone adds them without a role. The default, `member`, keeps
today's behavior for every existing channel.
- **An open channel with `join_role = guest` is an announce channel.**
Anyone can find, read and join it. People who join are guests, so they
cannot write until someone makes them a member.

The relay enforces these rules, so a client cannot get around them.

What each role can do (the same in every channel):

| Action | Guest | Member or bot | Admin / owner |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Read, leave | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Post, reply, edit, delete own, react, artifacts, canvas, forum, pins,
topic, typing, workflow messages, save or run workflows, huddles | ❌ | ✅
| ✅ |
| Add people | ❌ | ✅ as member, guest or bot | ✅ any role |
| Make a guest a member (person or agent) | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Any other role change | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Change name, about, visibility, TTL, `join_role` | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |

Other rules:

- **Joining by yourself.** A person who joins (kind:9021), or adds
themselves (kind:9000 with their own key), gets the channel's
`join_role`. They may ask for `join_role` or a lower role, never a
higher one. So in an announce channel nobody can join as a member by
themselves.
- **Non-members.** A non-member may write only where joining would let
them write: an open channel with `join_role = member`. That is today's
behavior for open channels.
- **Agents.** Agents follow the same rules as people. Any member who can
write may make a guest agent a member. Limits that only an agent's owner
may lift belong to the later IFC work (its "restricted" agent level),
not to this PR. That work only refuses more actions, so it can be added
later without breaking anything here.
- **Leaving always works.** A member may leave an archived channel too
(kind:9022, or kind:9001 naming themselves). The last owner still cannot
leave.
- **Agent owners keep edit and delete.** Today the human owner of an
agent can edit (kind:40003) and delete (kind:9005) that agent's messages
without being a member. This PR keeps that existing behavior in announce
channels too, and documents and tests it. It does not let the owner
post.
- **Changing the setting changes no roles.** Existing members can still
write after a change to `guest`. Existing guests stay read-only after a
change back to `member`.

A refused write gets `restricted: only members can post in this
channel`.

## Details
- **One write rule.** The relay's channel write check decides from the
actor's role and the channel's `join_role`. Some event types skip that
check and run their own: message edit, deleting your own message
(kind:9005), topic and purpose (kind:9002), add-member (kind:9000),
workflow messages and joining a huddle. Each of these now uses the same
rule. Membership changes (add, remove, leave) do not need write access,
so a guest can always leave. If the relay finds a stored `join_role`
value it does not know, it treats it as `guest`, so an unknown value can
never give more access.
- **Admission is decided in the database transaction.** The membership
write (`put_member`) makes the whole admission decision inside its
transaction, after it takes the channel's membership lock: `join_role`
for a missing role tag, the self-join ceiling, guests cannot add people,
who may grant admin or owner, and role changes
(`MemberRole::may_change_role`). The relay's request check uses the same
rules, but the database is the authority, so a write that skips the
request check cannot get around them. A change to `visibility` or
`join_role` takes the same lock, so an add and a setting change cannot
interleave.
- **No creator exception.** `put_member` used to give owner to a
channel's creator who added themselves to a private channel without an
active membership. A removed creator could use that: their join
(kind:9021) passes the open-channel check, the channel becomes private
before the join takes the membership lock, and the join restored them as
owner. Channel creation already makes the creator owner in the same
transaction, so the exception is removed. A removed creator is now
admitted like anyone else.
- **Huddles.** Joining a huddle needs write access in the huddle channel
**and** in its parent channel. The relay checks both before the join.
When it commits the join, it applies the same rule again while it holds
both channels' membership locks: a member needs a role that can post,
and a non-member needs an open channel whose `join_role` is `member`. A
guest in either channel cannot join. A join is also refused when the
joiner loses membership or the channel's `join_role` changes before the
commit.
- **One lock order.** Each writer that takes more than one of a
channel's locks takes them in this order: membership lock, TTL lock,
channel row. Settings changes, roster publication, TTL refresh and
huddle joins all use this order. Before this change, a `join_role`
change on an ephemeral channel at the same time as a roster publication
could deadlock.
- **Workflows.** Saving a workflow (kind:30620) skips the generic write
check, so it now checks the sender's role itself and needs a writing
role before anything is stored. Every path that starts a workflow run,
including the manual trigger (kind:46020), needs the workflow's owner to
hold a writing role now (and an elevated role for an elevated workflow).
So a workflow saved while its owner was a member stops running after the
owner is made a guest.
- **Channel names are checked before storage.** kind:9002 and kind:9007
refuse a name longer than the `channels.name` column (255 characters)
before the event is stored. Before this, the relay accepted the event,
then the name update failed, and the rest of the update (for example
`join_role`) was silently skipped. This PR only adds this check. Storing
the event and applying the update in one transaction is a larger change,
and it is not in this PR.
- **Changing the setting.** Owners and admins send a channel-metadata
update (kind:9002) with `["join_role", "guest"]` or `["join_role",
"member"]`. Buzz applies these updates as partial updates; a missing tag
means "no change". The relay posts a `join_role_changed` system message
in the channel.
- **What clients see.** The relay signs a channel description event
(kind:39000) that clients read. One shared builder now writes it for
both the relay and the `buzz-admin` backfill, which had a copy that had
drifted from the relay's. It always publishes an explicit `["join_role",
…]` tag, plus the standard NIP-29 group access flags:

| `visibility` | `join_role` | `public` / `private` | `restricted` |
`closed` |
  | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
  | open | `member` | public | | |
  | open | `guest` | public | ✓ | |
  | private | either | private | ✓ | ✓ |

This also fixes an old bug: `closed` ("join requests are ignored") was
published for every channel, even open channels that accept joins.
- **CLI and SDK.** `buzz channels update --join-role guest|member`.
`buzz_sdk::build_update_channel` takes a new `join_role` argument and
always writes it as an explicit tag.
- **Docs.** `NOSTR.md` has an "Announce channels" section with the role
table and the flag table.
- **Tests.** Relay end-to-end tests, run in the CI relay E2E step:
- `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire`: who can set `join_role`, the
kind:39000 flags, joining as a guest, refused guest and non-member
posts, reactions and adds, member posts, a member making a guest a
member who then posts, changing the setting back without changing roles,
and leaving.
- `test_nip29_member_raises_guest_agent`: a member who is not the
agent's owner can make a guest agent a member.
- `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire_workflow_send_needs_write_role`: a
guest's workflow message is refused; a member's is accepted.
- `test_nip29_departure_wire_archived_channel_allows_self_leave`: guests
and members can leave an archived channel.
- `test_private_channel_any_member_can_invite` now expects a
private-channel guest to be refused when it adds someone (it used to
expect success).
- `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire_workflow_commands_need_write_role`:
saving and triggering a workflow, by a member and by a guest, in
announce and normal channels; a guest cannot run a workflow saved while
it was a member.
-
`test_nip29_announce_channel_wire_overlong_name_is_refused_before_storage`:
a kind:9002 with an overlong name and `join_role` is refused, and
kind:39000 still shows the old settings.
- `test_nip29_announce_channel_wire_agent_owner_exception`: an agent's
owner, as a guest and as a non-member, can edit and delete the agent's
messages, while ordinary guests are still refused.
- `test_nip29_guest_is_read_only_in_normal_channel`: a guest in an
ordinary channel cannot write, and joining an ordinary channel still
gives `member`.

Unit tables cover the self-join rule for each `join_role`, and every
actor, current role and requested role for the role-change rule.
Database tests check the admission rules in `put_member`
(`put_member_enforces_announce_admission`), that an add which waits on
an uncommitted change to `guest` is decided on the new setting
(`put_member_waits_for_a_concurrent_join_role_change`), and that a
member can make a guest a member but not an admin. Unit tests cover the
name limit and the workflow owner rule
(`owner_authority_denies_roles_that_cannot_write`). A relay test covers
huddle joins with different roles in the huddle and its parent, and a
commit after a demotion, a `join_role` change or a lost membership
(`huddle_join_needs_a_write_role_in_the_huddle_and_its_parent`).
Lock-order tests:
`join_role_change_waits_for_a_roster_publication_on_an_ephemeral_channel`
reproduced a real deadlock (`40P01`) against the old order.
`f2d_join_lock_order_serializes_membership_and_settings_writers` checks
that membership and settings writers wait for a join and then succeed.
`removed_creator_cannot_rejoin_a_private_channel` checks that
`put_member` refuses a removed creator on a private channel, and
`removed_creator_join_racing_a_private_switch_is_refused` holds the
membership lock so a removed creator's kind:9021 passes the open-channel
check, then makes the channel private before the join continues. Each
new test was run against the old code and failed.

## Rollout
1. **Before the deploy, count guest rows** (`SELECT count(*) FROM
channel_members WHERE role = 'guest' AND removed_at IS NULL`). We expect
none. Any guest that exists loses the ability to post, change the topic
and add people when this ships. If some exist, decide first whether to
make them members.
2. Deploy. Every channel stays `join_role = member`, so nothing else
changes.
3. **Do not set any channel to `join_role = guest` until no old relay is
running.** Old relays ignore the column, so they would let guests and
non-members write in that channel.
4. Rerun the `buzz-admin` channel reconcile so open channels drop the
wrong `closed` flag.

## Migration and rollback
- Migration `0067` adds `channels.join_role TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT
'member'` with a CHECK constraint. Postgres stores a constant default in
table metadata, so existing rows are not rewritten and there is no
backfill. The relay runs the migration at startup.
- Existing channels keep the old `closed` flag until their next change,
or until the reconcile in Rollout step 4.
- **Before rolling back the relay**, set every announce channel back to
`join_role = member`. An older relay ignores the column and does not
stop guests from writing, so those channels would accept posts from
their guests and give `member` to new joiners again.

## Not in this PR
Client UI: a Follow button, hiding the composer for guests, and an admin
toggle. Clients that ignore the new tag keep working. A guest who tries
to post sees the `restricted` error.

## Problem

An agent `#p` + `#h` + `since` REQ (the `require_mention` subscription
in `buzz-acp`) ran for over 45 minutes on a production writer and held
`AccessShare` on every `events` partition. There were two causes:

1. **The mention side of the `#p` join was unbounded.**
`build_query_events_sql` joined `event_mentions` on `(community_id,
event_id)` only. The planner picked a nested loop whose outer side was
every mention of the pubkey, ever, and whose inner side range-scanned
the channel index from `since` on each partition. Cost ≈ total mentions
× channel rows since `since`.
2. **Nothing cancelled it.** The writer `statement_timeout` defaulted to
`0`. Only `#e` reads had a deadline (the 20s cap from block#7854), and
read-replica sessions had none at all.

`pg_stat_statements` shows this shape has a multi-thousand-second max
going back months, so it is chronic and was not introduced by a recent
change.

## Change

**`#p` mention bound** (`store/event.rs`, `push_mention_join`, shared by
the page SELECT and COUNT)
- Join on the full event key, `AND e.created_at = m.event_created_at`.
Mention rows copy the event's `created_at` at insert (migration 0007
already relies on this equality), so the join can prune `events`
partitions by time.
- Repeat `since`/`until` on `m.event_created_at`, so the outer scan is a
range on the existing `idx_event_mentions_pubkey_created`. `until` is a
superset bound for the keyset cursor; the exact `(created_at, id)`
cursor test stays on `e`.
- Repeat `kinds` on `m.event_kind` when the filter has kinds. Every
production mention writer binds the event kind (`insert_mentions` in
`store/runtime/mod.rs`, and the replaceable-event path in
`store/replaceable.rs`, back to the first Postgres schema), and no
migration inserts mention rows, so this drops no rows written by the
relay. Rows imported out of band with a NULL `event_kind` would no
longer match a kinds-filtered `#p` read; a read-only production count on
2026-10-20 found 0 such rows on both production reader databases. The
pushdown makes `idx_event_mentions_pubkey_kind_created` available to the
planner for the `require_mention` kind-9 shape; its use has not been
observed (see below). An E2E fixture with a hand-set NULL `event_kind`
row confirmed the caveat: base returns 8 events, head 7.
- The feed's mentions and needs-action queries (`store/feed.rs`,
`build_mentions_query` / `build_needs_action_query`) join
`event_mentions` the same way, so each joined row probes one `events`
partition instead of all of them. Their `ORDER BY m.event_created_at ...
LIMIT` already kept them from running away; this removes the per-row
cross-partition probe.
- Observed plan (E2E at `9cb6638b1`, before the `kinds` pushdown; 60,000
historical mentions + 2,500 recent decoys, stock planner, `EXPLAIN
(ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` of the captured production SQL): the mention side is
a bounded range on `idx_event_mentions_pubkey_created` (13 rows), then a
hash join with a scan of the recent `events` partition. Base scanned
2,509 recent events and probed `event_mentions_pkey` 2,509 times. Head:
**1.1 ms / 319 shared hits**; base: **8.5 ms / 10,049 shared hits**. Not
measured against the production replica. A fresh `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE,
BUFFERS)` replay at `a7065c367`, after the pushdown, ran on a smaller
fixture where the planner chose a sequential mention scan, so it neither
confirms nor replaces these numbers.

**Reads: 20s deadline on every generic event read**
- `query_events_on` and `count_events_on` always run under the
transaction-local 20s deadline that `#e` reads used
(`fetch_with_read_deadline`, formerly `fetch_with_e_tag_deadline`). It
only tightens: shorter operator or caller caps are kept.
- Read-replica sessions get a 20s session default through
`after_connect`, using the same tighten-only SQL.
- Cost: every generic REQ history read and COUNT now pays BEGIN +
`set_config` + ROLLBACK (three extra round trips; before, only `#e`
reads did). In the local E2E the end-to-end history read was still
faster at head (median 4.1 ms vs 10.2 ms at base, 9 samples each, warm
cache), so the round trips are dominated by the bounded plan; this does
not isolate them or establish production p99. The round trips also
lengthen how long each such read holds its writer connection; that hold
time has not been measured against production pool sizing.
- A replica read cancelled at its deadline (57014) is returned, not
re-run on the writer. Usually the cancel means expensive work the writer
would only repeat. It can also mean the replica waited on a lock only it
holds (a replayed `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE` from primary DDL), when the writer
would have answered quickly; that miss is the accepted price of keeping
runaway reads off the primary. The rationale now lives once on
`DbError::is_statement_cancelled` instead of in a dozen copied comments.
The generic routed reads and `ReadSession` already did this; the eight
routed reads with their own SQL (feed mentions, needs-action and
activity; thread replies; channel window; relay membership; thread
window and its auxiliary scan) now do too. A cancelled auxiliary scan
also keeps its replica session instead of degrading it to the writer for
the rest of the request. Other replica failures (e.g. hot-standby
recovery conflicts) still fall back to the writer.
- Paths with their own tighter `SET LOCAL` (artifact 2–5s, thread window
4s, personal reads, usage 5–15s, serving lease 1.5s) are unchanged.

**Writes: every writer session is bounded**
- The default `statement_timeout` changes from `0` to 120s
(`DEFAULT_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT_MS`).
- `BUZZ_DB_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT_MS` still overrides it. `0` or any value
above 300s installs 300s (`MAX_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT_MS`), so a session can
no longer disable it, and a clamped value logs a `warn!` when the pool
is built. Only the operator-approved, fenced destruction paths below
lift it, per transaction.

**Long-running writer paths, audited**
| Path | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Migrations / schema destruction
(`with_exclusive_schema_destruction_lock`) | Unchanged: these lift lock
and statement timeouts on their own detached connection |
| Partition maintenance | Unchanged: own 5s `statement_timeout` |
| Partition audit (`buzz-admin`) | Unchanged: 30s |
| Community deletion inventory, purge and logical verification
(`inventory_schema` whole-tenant counts, `purge_postgres`
whole-community `DELETE` per table in one tx,
`verify_postgres_logically_deleted` whole-tenant `EXISTS` per table
right after the purge) | Lifted (`statement_timeout = 0`)
transaction-locally by `lift_statement_timeout`, like migrations; lock
and idle timeouts still bound them. Inventory counts each table in its
own lifted transaction, so each table's lock and snapshot are released
as soon as its count finishes, as the autocommit counts did. A cancelled
purge would retry from scratch and eventually block, so a cap here would
turn large-tenant deletion into an operator override |
| Audit appends (`buzz-audit`, audit pool inherits the writer cap) |
Waits on the audit-chain advisory lock. With `BUZZ_DB_LOCK_TIMEOUT_MS=0`
(or at least the statement cap), `statement_timeout` (57014) cancels the
wait instead of `lock_timeout` (55P03). The relay's audit worker now
retries both with the same backoff instead of dropping the entry on
57014; admission refusal stays terminal |

On HTTP routes a statement timeout already maps to the distinct
retryable 503 (`api/mod.rs`, `statement_timeout_maps_to_distinct_503`).
A cancelled REQ fails its history read instead of hanging.

## Tests
- `p_tag_query_bounds_mention_side_by_time` (unit): page and COUNT SQL
carry the `created_at` join and the `since`/`until`/`kinds` mention
bounds, and the bounds are absent when the filter has none.
- `p_tag_read_with_mention_bounds_keeps_results` (Postgres): through the
production mention insert, unbounded, `since`, window and keyset-cursor
reads return exactly the mentioned rows, and COUNT matches. Every bound
sits exactly on a mentioned row's second and the cursor page includes a
same-second sibling after the cursor id, so an off-by-one on either
mention-side bound fails it.
- `plain_read_is_cancelled_at_deadline_when_timeout_disabled` /
`count_events_cancels_at_read_deadline_when_timeout_disabled`
(Postgres): the production `#p` + `#h` + `since` shape and a plain COUNT
are cancelled at 20s with the session timeout disabled. Previously these
covered `#e` only.
- `writer_statement_timeout_is_always_bounded` (unit) and
`session_statement_timeouts_bound_writer_and_reader_sessions`
(Postgres): through `Db::new`, writer sessions install `2min` / `5min`
(for `0` and for 600s) / `45s`, and replica sessions install `20s`.
- `deletion_whole_tenant_stages_outlive_the_writer_statement_timeout`
(Postgres): on a scratch desired-state database with a 500ms writer cap,
the real `inventory_schema`, `purge_postgres` and
`verify_postgres_logically_deleted` each wait behind a held `ACCESS
EXCLUSIVE` lock on `events` for over 1s and still complete, a plain
statement is cancelled (57014), and pooled sessions still read `500ms`
afterwards. A lifted transaction reads `statement_timeout = 0`, so a
bounded lift (e.g. `'300000'`) fails it, as does removing any of the
three `lift_statement_timeout` calls.
- `mentions_query_is_tenant_scoped_and_joins_mentions_by_composite_key`
/
`needs_action_query_is_tenant_scoped_and_joins_mentions_by_composite_key`
(unit): both feed queries carry the `e.created_at = m.event_created_at`
join.
- `replica_statement_cancel_propagates_without_writer_rerun` (Postgres):
with the replica locked past its cap, each of the six routed reads above
returns 57014 instead of the writer's copy. Removing the cancel arm in
any of them fails it.
- `thread_window_statement_cancel_propagates_without_writer_rerun`
(Postgres): a thread-window read parked behind a replica lock and
cancelled (57014; the window's own 1s `lock_timeout` would otherwise
fire first) returns the cancel instead of the unlocked writer's window,
and an auxiliary scan timed out on a replica session returns 57014 and
leaves the session on the replica. Removing either guard fails it.
-
`audit_worker_retries_statement_timeout_until_original_entry_is_appended_once`
(Postgres, `buzz-relay`): the production audit worker, with
`lock_timeout` disabled and a 100ms statement cap, keeps the entry
through repeated 57014 cancels while the chain lock is held and appends
it exactly once after release. Treating only 55P03 as retryable fails
it.
- The existing writer and audit-pool GUC tests now expect `5min` for a
disabled statement timeout.

## After deploy, watch
-
`buzz_db_route_decision{decision="replica",reason="statement_cancelled"}`:
replica reads that now fail instead of falling back to the writer,
including the replica-only lock case above.
- `buzz_db_pool_acquire_wait_seconds` and `buzz_db_pool_waiters` on the
writer pool: every generic REQ history read and COUNT now holds its
connection for three extra round trips.

## Database checklist (`docs/database.md` § Review checklist)

This PR changes schema-dependent `buzz-db` queries (the `#p` join and
its `m.event_kind` pushdown). It does not change the schema.

- **Phase:** none. No schema change, so this is not an expand, backfill
or contract step. Nothing before or after it is required.
- **Triggers, functions, procedures, rules, foreign keys:** none added.
- **Row mutations / backfill:** no migration, and no row is mutated or
backfilled. The one data-shape dependency is mention rows with a NULL
`event_kind`: a kinds-filtered `#p` read no longer matches them (see the
`kinds` bullet under Change). Relay writers always bind `event_kind`, so
only rows imported out of band are affected. A read-only production
count on 2026-10-20 found 0 such rows on both production reader
databases.
- **Contract migration:** N/A.
- **Rule 4 locations:** none touched. No table, index or desired-state
file changes, so no parity test applies. The new bounds use the existing
`idx_event_mentions_pubkey_created` and
`idx_event_mentions_pubkey_kind_created`.
- **Deployed relay vs. new schema:** there is no new schema. The
currently deployed relay and this relay run against the same tables.
- **Lock and statement timeouts:** this PR is about them. Generic reads
get a 20s deadline, replica sessions a 20s default, and writer sessions
a 120s default capped at 300s. Community-deletion transactions lift
`statement_timeout` per transaction; migrations and schema destruction
are unchanged (see "Long-running writer paths, audited"). No index
builds and no operator prebuild step.

## What got simpler
- One read-deadline path instead of an `#e`-only branch in
`query_events_on` and `count_events_on`.
- The `#p` join SQL that was duplicated between SELECT and COUNT now
lives in one `push_mention_join`.
- The deletion tests share one scratch desired-state database helper
instead of an inline copy.
- "Is this query bounded?" now has one answer: yes, unless it runs in a
migration, schema destruction, or community-deletion transaction.

## Identified debt (not in this PR)
- `buzz-acp` re-sends the same filter after a timeout `CLOSED` (no
backoff or narrowing). With the `#p` bound the `require_mention` read
should finish well inside 20s, so this is a follow-up, not a blocker.

## Summary

pgschema doesn't compare partition bounds. Re-applying
`schema/schema.sql` to a database a relay has used therefore plans `DROP
TABLE IF EXISTS ... CASCADE` for every `events` / `delivery_log` monthly
the partition manager created at runtime, and those tables' rows are
deleted with them. Since block#8464 the manager advances the catch-all by
default, so any local dev or test database a relay has started against
now hits this. One example is the persistent `buzz` database that
`scripts/start-relay-for-tests.sh` re-applies.

This adds a root `.pgschemaignore` that hides dated monthlies
(`events_p2*`, `delivery_log_p2*`) from pgschema. The monthlies declared
in `schema/partitions/` are exempted with `!` patterns, so pgschema
still manages them. pgschema reads the file from its working directory,
and every caller already runs it from the repo root: the test-relay
launchers, `postgres-test-setup.sh`, the desktop release smoke and
`_ci-relay.yml`. Both partition files now carry a note pointing at it,
and AGENTS.md gotcha #7 adds "run pgschema from the repo root" next to
the reconcile rule.

New-install layout is unchanged.

**Why the drops haven't deleted data yet:** on a reconciled database a
re-apply also plans to drop and re-add the `events` primary key on the
parent and on each declared child. The apply then fails with `cannot
drop inherited constraint "events_p2026_01_pkey"` (42P16). That happens
with or without this PR. The planned drops run in the same single
transaction, so they roll back, and the runtime monthlies have survived
so far. Once that primary-key drift is fixed, re-applies will succeed
and this ignore file is what keeps them from dropping the runtime
monthlies. The primary-key fix is a separate follow-up.

### Related issue

Follow-up to block#8464. Salvaged from an earlier branch; no existing issue
found.

### Testing

- `pgschema_reapply_keeps_runtime_partitions` (Postgres) follows the
real bootstrap path in a dedicated database:
- `bin/pgschema apply` from the repo root, then
`scripts/reconcile-schema-after-pgschema.sql`;
  - the relay's default maintenance pass (create plus advance);
- asserts that both catch-alls were attached before the pass and that
their bounds moved after it;
- asserts that each parent's `p2026_07` monthly exists. The catch-all
advanced past the declared bounds but kept its name.
- asserts that `pgschema plan` contains no `DROP TABLE` and no line
mentioning any runtime monthly.
- Falsified both ways:
- With `.pgschemaignore` removed, the test fails and prints the planned
drops.
- Without the reconcile step, it fails with `reconcile did not attach
both catch-alls`.
- `pgschemaignore_exempts_exactly_the_declared_monthlies` checks that
the `!` exemptions exactly match the dated monthlies in
`schema/partitions/`.
- The admin parity test now shares the `pgschema` helper, so it also
runs from the repo root like the real callers.
- All `runtime::migration` and `store::partition` tests pass against
local Postgres after merging current main, including the ignored ones:
104 passed, run with `--test-threads=1` because the full nextest
Postgres lane needs local `dropdb`. `clippy -D warnings` and the
pre-push lanes pass.

## Summary
This PR fixes two ways the relay could report a channel change that did
not fully happen.

**1. Channel settings could be saved only in part, while the app was
told that they all worked.**
When an owner or admin changed a channel's settings (name, description,
topic, public or private, message lifetime, archived or not, who can
join), the relay saved the request first and then applied each setting
with its own database write. If one write failed, the relay only logged
the error. It skipped the remaining settings and still reported success.
Sending the request again did nothing, because the relay saw it as
already saved. Example: a switch from public to private could fail while
the app showed success, and the channel stayed public.

Now saving the request, applying every setting and saving the "settings
changed" messages in the channel happen in one database transaction.
Either all of it is saved or none of it is:
- If anything fails, nothing is saved and the client gets an error. It
can send the same request again.
- A repeat of a request that already succeeded is reported as a
duplicate and changes nothing. This is also true when the repeat arrives
while the first copy is still being saved.
- A request to restore a channel that is not archived, or to change an
archived channel without restoring it, is refused and nothing is saved.
Before, the relay saved the request and a "settings changed" message,
and then the restore failed.
- Live updates go out only after the save commits. These are: removing
access for people who lose it, and pushing the new messages and channel
info to clients.

**2. A published member list could include someone who had just been
removed.**
For some channels the relay publishes a list of the channel's members.
While it builds that list, it holds a per-channel membership lock. Kicks
by a relay admin and the automatic kick after a deploy did not take that
lock. A kick could commit after the list was read, so the published list
still showed the removed member. Channel deletion also did not wait for
the lock. Kicks, channel deletion and the automatic add when someone
joins a Huddle (voice call) now all take the lock first. The published
list then includes the change, or the change waits until the list is
saved.

## Details
- **One lock order for all channel settings writes.** Before, each
writer took its own locks. Review kept finding writers that took them in
a different order or forgot one. `lock_channel_for_settings_write`
(`crates/buzz-db/src/store/channel.rs`) is now the only place that takes
them. The order is:
1. the membership lock, only when the public/private setting or the "who
can join" setting (`join_role`) changes. Without it, a member add could
read the old rule while the change commits.
2. the message-lifetime (TTL) lock: exclusive for a lifetime change,
shared otherwise.
3. the channel row (`FOR NO KEY UPDATE`). This does not block the key
lock that a member insert takes. The row lock also orders two copies of
the same request, so the second copy sees the first as already stored.
- The function returns a `ChannelSettingsWriter`. The writer borrows the
transaction that took the locks, so the compiler stops it from being
used with another transaction or after commit. The settings writes
(`update_channel_on`, `set_topic_on`, `set_purpose_on`,
`set_archived_on`) require the writer. They refuse a change its locks do
not cover.
- `Db::apply_channel_metadata_event` stores the channel-edit event
(kind:9002) and its mentions, applies the settings and stores the
"settings changed" messages (kind:40099) in one transaction. The older
single-purpose writes (`update_channel`, `set_topic`, `set_purpose`,
`archive_channel`, `unarchive_channel`) use the same helpers and behave
as before.
- `ingest.rs` and `validate_admin_event`: channel edits no longer check
archived/active state before the write. The transaction checks it after
its duplicate check, under the row lock. A refusal there goes back to
the client as `invalid:`. Channel edits have their own save path and
skip the general post-save step. `handle_side_effects` refuses them, so
no caller can go around the transaction.
- `side_effects.rs`: `emit_system_message` is split into signing and
sending. The messages are signed before the transaction and sent after
it. All "settings changed" messages from one edit share one timestamp
and come in a fixed order (topic, purpose, visibility, lifetime,
archive).
- A change to "who can join" (`join_role`) is applied in the same
transaction and announced with its own `join_role_changed` message.
- **Membership lock outside settings** (`relay_admin_actions.rs`,
`channel_members.rs`, `audio/handler.rs`): both kick paths
(`execute_kick_with_marker`, `deploy_kick_member`) take the membership
lock before they remove the member. The marker kick still undoes the
removal if its lease check fails after waiting. The Huddle join takes
its locks through a new `ChannelMembershipLocks` token, and the auto-add
is a method on that token, so it cannot run without the lock.
`soft_delete_channel` takes the full settings lock order.
- **Limit of the membership lock:** it covers member changes,
public/private and "who can join" changes, and channel deletion. It does
not cover archiving: archive writes and the cleanup of expired temporary
channels do not take it. The cleanup keeps its single UPDATE. A comment
in `channel.rs` explains why that is safe and why it must not be split
into a read and a write.

### Related issue
Follow-up to the review of block#8143 (which added the "who can join"
setting). That review found that channel edits could be applied in part.
No separate issue.

### Testing
New PostgreSQL tests in
`crates/buzz-relay/src/handlers/edit_metadata_postgres_tests.rs`:
- `failed_edit_stores_nothing`: a test trigger makes one write fail
partway through the transaction. Nothing is stored or changed, on the
first send or a resend. Without the trigger, the same signed request
applies in full.
- `resent_edit_is_a_duplicate`,
`resent_archive_and_unarchive_are_duplicates`: a resend after success is
a duplicate and adds nothing.
- `resend_validated_after_the_first_commit_is_a_duplicate`: a resend
validated after its first copy committed is a duplicate, with no second
change and no second message.
- `concurrent_copies_of_a_restore_apply_once`: two copies of one
restore, held at the channel lock until both are waiting, apply once.
The other copy is a duplicate.
- `unarchive_of_an_active_channel_is_refused`,
`join_role_edit_is_applied_and_announced`.

Lock tests in buzz-db: each one holds a member list in progress and
checks that the writer waits for it. They cover a "who can join" change
(`channel_members.rs`), the deploy kick and the marker kick
(`relay_admin_actions.rs`), and channel deletion (`channel.rs`). The
kick and delete tests fail when the new locks are removed.

These tests and the existing channel-edit tests in
`group_state_postgres_tests` pass locally against a migrated PostgreSQL
database.

## Summary

Add the first testable piece of user deletion: submit a synthetic
request, list requests, and inspect one by UUID. Operators can verify
that intake reaches PostgreSQL before we add inventory, approval, and
execution.

Add one operator-global `entity_deletion_requests` table with an
additive migration and matching desired-state schema. Identical
submissions return the same row. Conflicting submissions fail without
changing it. Only `demo:` targets are accepted, and requests stay
`submitted`.

Keep the commands in `buzz-deletion`, reached through a thin `buzz-admin
user-deletions` adapter. Reuse the existing database connection setup.
This change adds no worker, stage history, community gates, or deletion
operations.

### Rollout plan

This is an expand-only schema change plus an operator CLI. Existing
relay code does not use the new request table. No backfill or real
deletion is part of this release.

1. **Order the PRs.** Land block#8496 first, using 0068; main now owns 0067
for channel join roles. Rework block#8489 to build on this table with the
next available migration number. Renumbering its existing CREATE TABLE
migration alone is insufficient; both PRs currently create the same
request table.
2. **Apply on staging.** For deployments that manage schema separately,
apply the reviewed additive migration before using the new CLI. Where
auto-migration is enabled, the new relay binary applies it at startup.
Keep existing tables and records unchanged.
3. **Verify on staging.** Use the new `buzz-admin` binary with
`DATABASE_URL` pointing to staging. Submit a unique synthetic label,
list requests, and inspect the returned UUID:

   ```bash
buzz-admin user-deletions submit --target demo:staging-intake-1
--requested-by <operator>
   buzz-admin user-deletions list --limit 5
   buzz-admin user-deletions inspect <returned-uuid>
   ```

Verify one `entity_deletion_requests` row with status `submitted`.
Repeat the identical submission and verify the same UUID and timestamps.
Use a new label if this label was used by an earlier staging test.
4. **Apply beyond staging.** After verification, use the deployment's
reviewed schema/release workflow to add the table in the remaining
environments. Requests run only through the operator CLI; this release
starts no deletion worker. No feature flag is needed for this synthetic
intake: the database accepts only `demo:` targets, and real deletion is
absent.
5. **Rollback.** Keep the additive table and saved requests; stop using
the new commands and roll back the binary if needed. After 0068 is
applied, an older binary with auto-migration enabled can fail at startup
with sqlx `VersionMissing`. A binary rollback therefore requires
migration execution to be disabled on the older relay
(`BUZZ_AUTO_MIGRATE=false`, including the corresponding deployment
configuration).

### Related work

This is a smaller first slice of the full-workflow draft
[block#8489](block#8489), which is preserved for
later extraction. The two PRs overlap and should not both be merged as
written.

### Testing

The author submitted `demo:rarora-manual-1` to a separate local
PostgreSQL 17 database. Repeating the same submission returned its
original UUID and timestamps. List, inspect, and a direct SQL query all
returned the same saved request.

## Summary
Replace stacked mobile typing rows with one animated avatar cluster and
one typing bubble. People and agents share diagonal, triangle, and
four-corner layouts, with a circular +N badge for overflow and
reduced-motion support.

Includes an opt-in local demo (`BUZZ_TYPING_PREVIEW=true`) with mixed
human/agent avatars and count controls; it never publishes typing
events.

### Related issue
Follow-up to block#8505. No duplicate found in the typing-avatar PR search.

### Testing
- 3,736 mobile tests plus four unconfigured-push tests passed; analysis
and file-size checks passed.
- Installed and iterated on a physical iPhone with the existing
profile/community preserved; owner reviewed the motion and badge sizing.

passed after rebase. Prior iOS build and device walkthrough passed;
native validation was not repeated after this rebase. Snapshots omitted
as requested.

## Summary

Re-applying `schema/schema.sql` to a database that `pgschema apply` and
`scripts/reconcile-schema-after-pgschema.sql` already bootstrapped fails
with `cannot drop inherited constraint "events_p2026_01_pkey" of
relation "events_p2026_01" (SQLSTATE 42P16)`. Because of that,
`scripts/start-relay-for-tests.sh` breaks against a reused database.

**Cause:** pgschema 1.7.4 moves a partitioned table's partition key to
the front of its primary key when it creates the table. A
pgschema-bootstrapped `events` therefore gets `PRIMARY KEY (created_at,
community_id, id)`. `schema/tables/public/events.sql` and
`migrations/0001` both declare `(community_id, created_at, id)`. Every
later plan drops and re-adds `events_pkey` and each declared child's
key. This happens even on a database that was never reconciled. The plan
only becomes unexecutable after the reconcile script attaches the
children, because their keys are then inherited. As a side effect,
pgschema-bootstrapped databases also had a differently ordered PK index
than migration-managed ones.

**Fix:** after the partition ATTACH block, the reconcile script now
compares `events_pkey` with the declared `PRIMARY KEY (community_id,
created_at, id)`. If they differ, it rebuilds the key on the parent. It
then asserts that `events` and every partition carry the declared key,
which is the "convergence plus live assertion" shape `docs/database.md`
requires. PostgreSQL recreates each partition's key with the same
`<child>_pkey` names, so a reconciled re-apply now plans nothing. The
block does nothing when the key is already correct. `migrations/0001` is
untouched. Only pgschema-bootstrapped dev and test databases run this
script, so it does not touch the out-of-band partitioned-table
procedure.

`delivery_log` is not affected. Its key `(delivered_at, id)` already
starts with the partition key.

**Existing local databases:** a database reconciled before this change
would still fail its next `pgschema apply`, because the reconcile script
only runs after apply. The repair therefore also lives in
`scripts/repair-events-pkey.sql`. That file does nothing when `events`
doesn't exist yet, and `scripts/start-relay-for-tests.sh` runs it before
apply; it's the only launcher that reuses its database. The reconcile
script keeps a verbatim copy for fresh bootstraps, and a unit test keeps
the two identical.

The rebuild drops the key with `IF EXISTS`, so a database that has lost
its key still converges. It also takes its locks with a 10s
`lock_timeout`. If a relay still holds `events`, it fails with "Stop any
relay using this database, then rerun" instead of hanging.

`start-relay-for-tests.sh` now builds the relay's `DATABASE_URL` from
the `PG*` variables it already exports. The secret scanner flags the
literal URI once the file is touched. The value is unchanged.

pgschema 1.13.3 keeps the declared order and creates children as native
`PARTITION OF`. Upgrading would make this block and the ATTACH blocks
unnecessary, but it changes behavior for every caller, so it is left for
a separate change.

### Related issue

Follow-up to block#8487, which added the probe test and
`.pgschemaignore`. Now rebased onto `main` after that PR merged.

### Testing

- `pgschema_reapply_keeps_runtime_partitions` now asserts the plan after
the maintenance pass is **empty**, which replaces the `DROP TABLE` and
per-monthly plan checks. It then applies and reconciles a second time.
Without the new block it fails with `ALTER TABLE events DROP CONSTRAINT
events_pkey; ...`. With the block it passes.
- It also includes the optional notes from the block#8487 review:
- After maintenance, it checks that both catch-alls are still present
and attached, not only that the zipped bounds differ.
- The first runtime monthly comes from the declared catch-all's lower
bound instead of a hard-coded `p2026_07`.
- The doc comment now states only what the test pins: bounds are not
compared, and the plan is empty.
- I broke the rebuild on purpose by re-adding the key in the wrong
order. The new assertion fails the reconcile script with `events and its
partitions must have PRIMARY KEY (community_id, created_at, id)`.
- CLI runs against local Postgres 17:
- Fresh DB: apply → reconcile → apply → reconcile → plan. The second
apply reports no changes and the plan is empty.
- DB reconciled with the old script: the next apply fails with SQLSTATE
42P16. After running the new reconcile script once, apply reports no
changes and the plan is empty.
- `events_pkey_repair_runs_before_reused_apply_and_matches_reconcile`
checks two things: the reconcile script carries the repair block
verbatim, and `start-relay-for-tests.sh` runs the repair before
`pgschema apply`. It fails if the two copies drift.
- I ran the repair script and then the bootstrap against four local
probe databases: one reconciled with main's script, an empty one, one
applied but never reconciled, and one with no `events` key. All four end
with an empty plan. With another session holding a lock on `events`, the
repair fails after 10s with the hint and leaves the key untouched. It
succeeds once the lock is released.
- `admin_schema_parity_between_desired_state_and_migrations` and the
`runtime::migration` unit tests pass. fmt and clippy are clean.

## Summary
On 2026-10-23, RustSec published RUSTSEC-2026-0385 against `ctutils`, a
constant-time helper crate used by the RustCrypto hashing and HMAC
crates. Some of its functions were meant to run in constant time, so
their timing would reveal nothing about secret values, but in versions
before 0.4.4 they could compile to code that branches on those values.
Since the advisory came out, `cargo-deny check` reports advisories as
failed. That breaks `Security Domain / Security` on `main` and on every
PR that runs the Rust security job.

This PR changes `ctutils` from 0.4.2 to 0.4.5 in the three lockfiles
that pin it: `Cargo.lock`, `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.lock`, and the
`buzz-feature-flags` relay-feature-selection test fixture. No other
packages change.

## Summary
RustSec published
[RUSTSEC-2026-0387](https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0387)
against `crypto-bigint`. Some of its operations meant to be
constant-time could compile to code that branches on secret values.
Since the advisory came out, `cargo-deny check` reports advisories as
failed. That breaks `Security Domain / Security` on `main` and on every
PR that runs the Rust security job (for example block#8575 and block#8579).

`crypto-bigint` 0.5.5 came in only through `p256` 0.13 →
`elliptic-curve` 0.13 in `buzz-push-gateway`. The advisory has no 0.5.x
fix; the patched line is 0.7.6+. This PR moves `buzz-push-gateway` to
`p256` 0.14, which uses `crypto-bigint` 0.7.9.

| Advisory | Crate | Change |
|---|---|---|
| [RUSTSEC-2026-0387](https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0387)
| `crypto-bigint` | 0.5.5 → 0.7.9 (via `p256` 0.13.2 → 0.14.0) |

**Code changes:** `p256` 0.14 renamed the SEC1 encoder from
`ToEncodedPoint::to_encoded_point` to `ToSec1Point::to_sec1_point`. The
gateway calls it in two places, both to re-encode an App Attest public
key as uncompressed SEC1 bytes. The tests call it in five more. Nothing
else in the gateway's API use changed.

**Lockfile:** only the `p256` dependency chain changes: `ecdsa`,
`elliptic-curve`, `ff`, `group`, `primeorder`, `rfc6979` and `sec1` move
up a minor version. `primefield` and `wnaf` are added. The old
`der`/`spki`/`pkcs8`/`pem-rfc7468`/`const-oid` 0.x versions that only
this chain used are removed. `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.lock` and the
`buzz-feature-flags` fixture lockfile don't contain `crypto-bigint`, so
they're unchanged.

**Exposure, for context:** in production the gateway uses `p256` only to
verify App Attest signatures against public keys. Signing with a private
key happens only in tests. So the timing issue didn't realistically
apply here, but the bump clears the advisory instead of ignoring it.

### Related issue

On `origin/main` the Security job fails on this advisory.
- `cargo test -p buzz-push-gateway --all-features`: 82 passed, 18
ignored (the same tests are `#[ignore]` on `main`).
- `cargo clippy -p buzz-push-gateway --all-targets --all-features -- -D
warnings` is clean.
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` passes.

## Summary

Relay pods can stall in the `mesh_boot` startup step, and the mesh peer
table grows without limit. One prod pod held 7,793 peer records. Most of
those records belong to pods that no longer exist.

**Cause.** Every boot gets a fresh runtime id, so a restarted pod leaves
its old record behind. Nothing ever removed records, and scuttlebutt
gossip kept spreading the dead ones around the fleet. Each reconcile
pass, including the first one inside `boot_mesh`, then dials every
record one at a time.

This PR makes dead records expire. It also adds the measurements we need
to see the next stall directly.

### Peer-table lifetime (`crates/buzz-relay-mesh/src/membership.rs`)
- A peer record expires 5 minutes after its last heartbeat
(`DEFAULT_PEER_RECORD_TTL`). For comparison, live runtimes refresh every
2s, and the Redis ready registry expires a silent runtime after 45s.
- What happens to expired records:
- They are **rejected on arrival**, so peers that haven't been upgraded
can't re-add them.
  - They are **left out** of digests, deltas, and dial candidates.
  - They are **pruned** at the start of each reconcile pass.
- Between prunes, they are not admitted (`has_peer`) and not routed
(`peers`, `peer_has_capability`).
- An expired entry that hasn't been pruned yet counts as absent, so any
fresh record replaces it whatever its version. That lets a live peer's
v1 Redis hint re-admit it before the next prune.
- **The TTL never prunes or hides a peer with a live connection**, even
if its heartbeat is stale. Its gossip can stop arriving while the
transport stays up: a dead control stream, or a clock behind by more
than the TTL. The connection proves the runtime is alive. Its stale
record is still kept out of digests and dials. (The existing phi filter
in `peers()` still drops a connected peer once its gossip stalls; this
PR doesn't change that.)
- **`Connected` tracks the transport map.** Because the TTL exemption
trusts that flag, `install_peer` and `remove_peer` write it while
holding the peers lock, so a connection that closes during install
always ends `Disconnected`. A dial's `Connecting`/`Disconnected` writes
are skipped when a connection is already installed, so a failed outbound
dial can't overwrite a live inbound connection. Each reconcile pass also
re-syncs the state from the transport map.
- **Gossip no longer sets connection state.** Before, any gossiped
record was marked `Connected`, even if this pod had never dialed it.
That inflated the `/_mesh` counts. Now a record learned from gossip or
the ready registry enters as `Disconnected`. Only the real connect and
disconnect paths change the state.
- Before building its candidate list, reconcile now skips peers that are
already connected. A pass dials serially, and a dial to a dead runtime
can take about a minute, so `dial_peer` re-reads the record before every
address attempt. It stops once the record has expired or started
draining, or once a connection has landed.

### Instrumentation
- **`mesh_boot` sub-steps** use the existing startup-step gauges:
`mesh_bind`, `mesh_publish`, and `mesh_initial_reconcile`. A pod stuck
in `mesh_boot` now also shows which await it is stuck on.
- **New metrics** (`crates/buzz-relay-mesh/src/telemetry.rs`):

  | Metric | Shows |
  |---|---|
| `buzz_mesh_dial_total{outcome}` / `buzz_mesh_dial_duration_seconds` |
Cost of each dial |
  | `buzz_mesh_reconcile_pass_seconds` | Full pass time |
| `buzz_mesh_reconcile_candidates` | Dials planned for this pass (set
after the registry scan) |
  | `buzz_mesh_peer_records{state,draining}` | Table size |
  | `buzz_mesh_peer_record_max_age_seconds` | Oldest heartbeat |
| `buzz_mesh_peer_records_expired_total{reason=pruned\|rejected}` |
Expiry activity |

- The dial and pass histograms get buckets up to 600s. The default
`_seconds` buckets stop at 5s, which would hide exactly the stall these
metrics are meant to show.

### CI
The `buzz-relay-mesh` tests and the `buzz-relay` `mesh_boot::tests` did
not run in any CI lane. This PR adds both to `just test-unit`, and adds
the matching stanzas to `scripts/run-tests.sh`.

### What got simpler
- The peer table now has a defined size, about one record per live pod,
where before it grew forever.
- One wrong state write was deleted (gossip marking records
`Connected`).
- Two test suites that silently never ran now run.

### Rollout notes
- Rejecting expired records works one pod at a time. During a rollout,
pods that haven't been upgraded keep gossiping dead records. Upgraded
pods reject them, which shows up as `reason="rejected"` on the expired
counter.
- A pod whose clock runs more than 5 minutes behind has all of its
gossip rejected. It stays reachable through its Redis ready record and
any live connection. A `reason="rejected"` count that keeps climbing
outside a rollout points to that skew.
- Upgraded pods leave expired records out of their digests. Pods that
haven't been upgraded therefore resend the whole ghost set (about 7.8k
records, roughly 1 MB) on every 2s gossip tick, on each old↔new
connection. So during the rollout, `reason="rejected"` will climb by
about the ghost count per tick per connection. This is expected and
stops when the rollout finishes.

### Not in this PR
The boot dial itself is still unbounded: it runs serially, has no
per-dial timeout, and dials gossip-learned records. Bounding it changes
how a pod joins the mesh, so it goes in a separate PR, and these metrics
will measure it.

### Related issue
None found.

### Testing
- New tests:
- `membership::tests`: expired gossip is rejected; prune drops only
expired records; prune keeps a connected peer with a stale heartbeat;
expired unconnected records are neither admitted nor routed before a
prune; a fresh record replaces an expired, unpruned entry whatever its
version; expired records are neither dialed nor gossiped before a prune;
gossip never sets connection state; table stats.
- `runtime::tests::reconcile_pass_publishes_dial_and_peer_table_metrics`
- `runtime::tests::reconcile_pass_prunes_expired_peer_records` (binds
the prune to the reconcile pass)
-
`runtime::tests::dial_skips_candidate_that_expired_after_the_pass_snapshot`

`buzz-relay-mesh` nextest 3x, and the `buzz-relay`
`mesh_boot`/`startup_steps`/`metrics` tests all pass. Three of the new
tests fail against a mutant that removes the fix they pin (dial ignores
expiry; dial state writes ignore the transport map; no reconcile
resync).

## Summary

An operator can submit, approve, and run a synthetic user-deletion
request through a durable workflow. The actions print messages; they do
not gate real users or delete data. The inventory contains artificial
participant and former-participant communities.

The worker calls one transition function, `get_next_stage(lease,
previous_stage_id)`. It receives a full stage row, passes it to the
handler, then asks again. All branching, community tracking,
initialization, and recovery live behind that function. Existing
community-deletion execution is unchanged.

### Related issue

Builds on merged block#8496 and targets `main`. Inventory, separate approval
records, and the dummy executor remain together in this PR.

### Execution design

```text
approve → save approval; create no stages
run → claim request
    get_next_stage(lease, None) → full stage row
    handler(lease, row) → persist status and result
    get_next_stage(lease, Some(row.id)) → next row / Finished / WaitUntil
    repeat, then release ownership
```

- **Approval:** bind an operator's decision to the saved inventory
digest. Approval creates no execution rows. Operator names remain
self-asserted demo input.
- **Initialization:** claiming preserves the parent lifecycle. The first
transition creates `gate_user` and changes `approved` to `running`
atomically. A crash after claim but before initialization can safely
restart.
- **Handler:** read `metadata_json.inputs`, mark the row running, and
save its result or failure. A successful action leaves its row
`completed` and `is_current = true`. This is a durable transition
waiting to be processed.
- **Transition:** lock the parent, validate ownership, reload history
and the handler's saved result, and choose an allowed destination. Clear
the old current flag, save the decision, and insert the successor with
its inputs in one transaction. Terminal transitions complete the parent
instead. An insertion failure leaves the completed old row current.
- **Recovery:** `previous_stage_id` identifies the handler that just
returned; it must belong to the request. A restarted worker passes
`None` and finds the saved current row. If that row is completed,
transition it without repeating its action. If the switch already
committed, return the saved successor. Repeated calls never apply the
old transition twice.
- **Progress:** reconstruct covered communities from saved decisions and
the approved inventory. Each stage records its predecessor ID, so
reconstruction does not depend on timestamp ordering. Missing current
state in a started request, disconnected history, unknown stages, and
malformed results fail without inventing progress.
- **Ownership:** parent leases last 60 seconds and handlers renew them
every ten seconds. Generation checks reject stale writes. Handler and
renewal futures remain independently polled; renewal cannot prevent a
handler holding the parent lock from committing.
- **Step-by-step testing:** `run --next-step` executes one handler,
commits its transition, and exits with the successor pending. Repeat the
same command to advance again; the final step completes the request. The
former `--max-stages` and `--pause-after-handler` flags are removed.
- **Failure:** the handler saves the current row's error and a 30-second
retry deadline. The transition returns `WaitUntil`; the worker exits and
releases its lease. A later invocation retries the same row. No
background scheduler or automatic retry daemon is added.

The user workflow definition in `buzz-deletion/src/user/workflow.rs`
declares allowed destinations and a decision function per stage.
`gate_user` enters the first uncovered community. `purge_db` reads saved
`has_agents`: true selects `purge_agents`; false completes the community
immediately. Community completion selects the next uncovered community,
or finishes the request when all are covered. No full stage plan is
created upfront. The transition transaction contains no stage-name
comparisons or fixed community count.

Stage metadata stores `inputs`, `result`, `transition`, and
`previous_stage_id`. The parent retains inventory, ownership, retry, and
overall status. Approval evidence stays in `entity_deletion_approvals`.
A completed-current row bridges the two transactions; real handlers will
still need idempotent or reconciled actions if a process dies before
saving its result.

### Code organization

`buzz-deletion/src/user/worker.rs` runs the loop and heartbeat. Sibling
`handlers.rs` executes dummy actions. `transition.rs` defines
`UserDeletionTransition.get_next_stage()`, and `workflow.rs` owns the
user stage rules and community-progress reconstruction. The CLI remains
in `user.rs`.

`buzz-db/src/store/entity_deletion/` contains shared workflow
persistence: a small `mod.rs`, request reads/inspection in
`requests.rs`, approval evidence in `approvals.rs`, ownership in
`leases.rs`, and stage outcomes/atomic transitions in `stages.rs`.
User-specific submission, demo inventory, and inventory validation live
separately in `buzz-db/src/store/user_deletion/{requests,inventory}.rs`;
its `mod.rs` only defines and exports the store.

The worker calls the user transition object, which supplies a
synchronous decision function to `EntityDeletionStore.transition_stage`.
The store locks the parent, reads saved state, invokes that function,
checks the returned operation, and commits its writes. The decision
function performs no SQL or external calls. Reading, deciding, and
writing remain in one transaction; there is no stale-state gap. Shared
storage contains no user stage names or community-routing rules.
User-specific approval validation also runs inside the shared approval
transaction.

This reorganization changes no tables, migrations, stage metadata, or
CLI behavior. Requests using the existing saved-result format continue
to work. `--next-step` still runs one handler and commits its transition
before returning.

### Testing

The walkthrough in
[docs/operator-user-deletion-executor.md](https://github.com/block/buzz/blob/rarora/user-deletion-approval/docs/operator-user-deletion-executor.md)
includes commands, SQL inspection, expected rows, and recovery
boundaries.

Submitted and approved a fresh local request and verified zero stage
rows. Ran `run --next-step` five times. Each call completed exactly one
handler, released ownership, and left its successor pending: B DB, B
agents, C DB, C agents, then request completed. A sixth call left saved
state unchanged. Verified both removed flags are rejected.

Ran `--demo-no-agents-in 00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000c` and
verified four completed rows, with no C agents stage.

Injected a DB-stage failure, verified immediate retry refusal, waited
for the real deadline, and resumed the same stage row. Observed
heartbeat renewal and rejection of a competing worker, killed the owned
worker process, waited for its actual lease expiry, and resumed the same
unfinished stage with a new generation. Re-running a completed request
left its saved state unchanged. Repeated the CLI walkthrough after the
file reorganization, including runtime branching and a retry after the
real deadline; a completed request created before the reorganization
remained unchanged.

Mutation-tested the ownership and recovery guards against local
PostgreSQL 17. Reclaiming with the same executor ID rejects
old-generation operations. Independently disabling the ownership
generation check, release generation check, saved-transition/result
comparison, or heartbeat-failure handling made the corresponding test
fail. Restored all four protections afterward. The heartbeat test takes
over the request while its handler is already running.

### Schema and rollout

Unmerged migrations 0069–0070 add inventory and execution fields, widen
request lifecycle states, and create operator-global approval and
stage-history tables. They set five-second lock and thirty-second
statement timeouts; constraint validation has its own transaction. No
triggers, functions, foreign keys, or data backfills are added.
Desired-state and migration catalog parity cover all three tables. The
transition redesign adds no further schema changes.

The serving relay does not schedule these requests. Only the explicit
operator CLI runs them, using PostgreSQL. Only `demo:` targets are
accepted. Real account discovery, user-write fencing, owned-community
handling, and actual deletion remain future work. Verify staging with a
new demo label and the documented commands.

Older draft requests do not have the new stage metadata contract.
Preserve them and create a new demo request for this version; they are
not a supported resume format. Use a fresh database if an earlier draft
applied a different migration checksum. Never alter sqlx migration
checksums. With Helm `migrate.autoMigrate=true` (the chart default), a
relay binary that lacks 0069/0070 fails at boot with sqlx
`VersionMissing` after those migrations are applied. Recovery for this
rollout is a roll-forward: deploy a corrected binary that retains the
migrations. Do not delete migration records or change checksums to force
an older binary to boot. Rolling back with auto-migration disabled
requires a separately verified schema-compatibility plan. Demo requests,
stage history, and approvals are intentionally retained; this scaffold
has no cleanup command or retention job. Recheck migration numbering
before merge.

The NIP-FI migration prerequisite currently makes every desktop, CLI,
and mobile release reverify all supported relay deployments. Remove that
section from `RELEASING.md` once the supported relay fleet has completed
the migration, so routine client releases no longer stop on this
historical prerequisite.

This draft does not establish that the migration is complete.
Confirmation from the relay owner is still pending.

### Before merge

- [ ] Confirm that no supported relay deployment still needs the
post-transfer upload-expiry fix described in the [existing release
prerequisite](https://github.com/block/buzz/blob/mobile-v0.26.0-rc.1/RELEASING.md#nip-fi-upload-proof-freshness-relay-floor).

### Validation

Documentation-only deletion. Checked the diff and searched repository
Markdown for references to the removed section; no other Markdown
references were found. No runtime behavior changes.

## What

A NIP-29 kind:9000 (put-user) can now name up to 100 people, one `p` tag
each. A client sharing a channel with many people can do it in one
signed write instead of one event per person.

- **Role per person:** NIP-29 style `["p", pubkey, role]`. When the
third element is absent or empty, the event's `["role", r]` tag applies.
- **Same checks, per person:** each person gets the checks a single add
does, in the same order: `decide_put_user`, then the agent's
`channel_add_policy`, then the admission rules again under the channel's
membership lock. One refused person no longer refuses the others.
- **Per-person results:** when the event names two or more people, the
OK message reports each result. Only non-empty lists appear, and
refusals are grouped by reason so 100 people stay well under a client's
16 KB receipt limit:
  ```
members:
{"added":[hex…],"updated":[hex…],"already_member":[hex…],"rejected":[{"reason":"…","pubkeys":[hex…]}]}
  ```
- **When the event is refused:** if it is malformed (bad `p` hex,
unknown role, more than 100 people, missing `h`, archived channel), or
if nobody it names may be added. With one person the message keeps
today's `invalid: <reason>`. With several it is `invalid: members: {…}`.
- **One-person events don't change:** a successful single add still
returns an empty OK message, which an existing e2e test pins.
- **Re-adding someone at the role they already have** no longer posts a
second `member_joined` timeline notice. The member-added notification
(kind:44100) still goes out, so an agent that missed its first one is
still re-signaled.
- **Group-state events (39000–39002)** are now published once per event
instead of once per person.

## Cost of a batch

The database work for one event does not grow with the number of people:

- **One membership transaction.** `buzz-db` gains `put_members`: one
transaction, one membership lock, one channel read, one read of every
involved role, the owner count only if a demotion needs it, and one
`UNNEST` upsert with `RETURNING`. `put_member` is now `put_members` with
one person, so there is one implementation of the admission and
last-owner rules, and a single add makes two fewer round trips than
before.
- **Same answers as one write per person.** People are decided in tag
order, and each decision sees the roles earlier people were given,
including the actor's own (an owner who steps down mid-batch can't then
grant admin), and the owners they add or remove. A new buzz-db test pins
this.
- **One policy query.** Validation reads every third-party target's
`channel_add_policy` with one `= ANY($2)` query
(`get_agent_channel_policies`) instead of one per person.
- **One channel-type read** for all the member-added notifications,
instead of one per notification.

What still scales with people is what each person must receive: their
`member_joined` timeline notice and their kind:44100 notification, one
stored event each.

## Why

This is for Solo chat sharing in buzz-app.
[block/buzz-app#1605](block/buzz-app#1605)
routes every share through one helper, `shareChatsWithChannel`, which
today sends one kind:9000 per missing member. A small follow-up there
switches it to one batch, then re-reads the roster and adds anyone still
missing one at a time. That keeps it correct on relays without this
change, which accept the event but ignore every `p` after the first.

The batch stays a signed NIP-29 event rather than a new HTTP endpoint,
per VISION.md and AGENTS.md ("Prefer Nostr events over new HTTP
endpoints").

## Wire changes for existing senders

- Any malformed `p` tag now refuses the event. Before, malformed `p`
tags were skipped and the first valid one was used.
- Extra `p` tags are now targets. Before, they were ignored.
- A third `p` element that isn't a role, such as a NIP-01 relay hint,
refuses the event with `invalid role: …`. No sender in this repo does
that: `build_add_member` sends one bare `p`.

## Tests

**buzz-db (`channel_members` Postgres tests):** new
`put_members_decides_each_person_in_order`: the sole owner can't step
down before an heir is named in the same call, but the heir is still
added; with the heir counted the owner can step down, and the admin
grant after it is then refused; a no-op re-add reports its prior role; a
repeated pubkey refuses the call. The other `channel_members` Postgres
tests pass, including the announce-admission and concurrent `join_role`
tests that exercise `put_member`.

**buzz-relay (`put_user_postgres_tests.rs`), 5 tests:**
- mixed results in one event: added, already a member, an agent with
`nobody` policy rejected, a per-`p` `bot` role, a duplicate `p`, a
single roster publish
- `updated` for a role change, with the event `role` tag as fallback
- a plain member may add someone, but may not grant an elevated role on
a `p`
- a single add keeps its empty OK message
- an all-refused event: single text and grouped JSON
- a malformed `p` tag
- the 100-person cap: 101 refused, 100 accepted

Related relay Postgres groups (`group_state`, `create_with_members`,
`edit_metadata`, `membership`) pass.

**Live relay:** `e2e_relay` against a local relay at 9c27a0f: 58 of 61
passed, including `test_nip29_batch_put_user_wire` (added to the CI
Relay E2E list) and every NIP-29 put-user, announce, guest and departure
test in that list. The 3 failures don't touch this change: the two
invite tests assume the relay's seeded host, and this relay ran on
`:3030`. `test_unarchive_emits_member_added_notification` timed out once
and passed when re-run, as it did on the first commit.

**Local caveats:** the local `channel_members` roster-fence test and the
deletion tests fail on a shared local database because other tests leave
its fence trigger disabled, so the PostgreSQL Tests job in CI is the
authority for the full suite. The pre-push `rust-tests` hook passed.
`desktop-tauri-checks` failed on `chunks_exact` lints in desktop files
this PR doesn't touch, so the push used `--no-verify`. `cargo clippy
--all-targets` (buzz-db, buzz-relay) and `cargo fmt --check` are clean.

…rs (block#8401)

The relay side of NIP-FI agent tokens. An agent token has its own type,
`nip-fi-agent+jwt`, and carries its human owner's pubkey in
`nostr_owner_pubkey`. This PR verifies that claim, makes denying or
disconnecting the owner cut off every agent that owner authorized, and
makes the verified owner decide community admission. A relay without
agent support refuses the unknown type, so nothing needs to advertise or
configure agent support. The `NIP-FI.md` text for the agent type is
included.

Builds on block#8372 and block#8377 (both merged).

### Owner claim and owner deny

- **Token type binds the owner claim (`buzz-auth`).** A `DedicatedNipFi`
issuer policy accepts `nip-fi+jwt` (human) and `nip-fi-agent+jwt`
(agent); `AccessTokenAtJwt` policies stay `at+jwt`-only with their
`client_id` and subject rules unchanged, and unknown types are refused.
An agent token must carry a lowercase-hex `nostr_owner_pubkey` distinct
from its `nostr_pubkey`; a human or `at+jwt` token carrying the claim
with any value, including null, is `evidence_rejected`. The verified
owner is exposed as `VerifiedAssertion::owner()`.
- **No agent switch.** There is no relay setting, NIP-11 field or
operator binding field for agent support.
- **Session owner.** Each connection records its NIP-FI issuer and the
agent's owner (`NipFiSession`) on the root WebSocket manager and the
audio registry. `disconnect_nip_fi(iss, target)` closes a connection
when either its own key or its recorded owner equals the target.
- **Owner deny check.** `nip_fi_core::assertion_denied` checks the deny
set for both `(iss, k)` and `(iss, owner)`, and every existing deny
check uses it: WebSocket before upgrade and after registration, HTTP,
audio, and the shadow observer, so shadow and enforce make the same
decisions. The shadow disconnect observer matches a session's key or
owner under its issuer with the same rule, so an owner's disconnect
records a would-close for its agents.

### Shadow owner check

In shadow mode, WebSocket AUTH, audio join and HTTP admission record a
`Stage::Owner` verdict when an admitted agent token's owner is banned
(`owner/denied`), conflicts with the agent's stored owner
(`owner/denied`), or cannot be checked because a read failed
(`owner/unavailable`). These are reads only; shadow admission is
unchanged. Shadow applies the same stored-owner rule as enforce but
never writes the link, so it can't predict a later owner-link write
failure, or which of two racing first links wins.

### Admission through the verified owner

- **Owner bans, unconditionally.** `community_ban_outcome` takes the
token owner and checks its ban in place of a NIP-OA owner. That applies
whether the agent is a member itself, the relay is open, or the agent is
admitted through its owner.
- **Owner-derived membership.** In
`api::relay_members::check_membership`, an agent that is a member itself
is still admitted first. Otherwise, when a verified assertion names an
owner, the owner's membership decides (`MembershipDecision::ViaOwner`),
and no NIP-OA is needed on the connection. The issuer has already passed
this community's NIP-FI binding check at that point. When a token owner
is present it is the only owner considered.
- **Stored-owner consistency.** `link_agent_owner` replaces the boolean
`materialize_nip_oa_owner` result with `OwnerLink::{Linked, Conflict,
Unavailable}`. An unset stored owner is recorded, so relay bans and
roster removal of the owner reach the agent through
`revoke_live_access`. Shadow and enforce judge the stored owner through
one read, `stored_owner_link`, and `link_agent_owner` writes
(atomically, first write wins) only when that read finds no owner; a
failed read fails closed. If the stored owner differs from the token
owner, the request is refused with `authorization denied` on HTTP, WS
and audio. A NIP-OA owner conflict keeps its existing link-error
refusal.
- **One decision on every surface.** Root WS AUTH, audio registration
and every NIP-98 HTTP route (bridge, `buzz/v1`, git transport and
settings, invites, media, workflows, moderation reads) pass
`NipFiAdmission::token_owner()` / `VerifiedAssertion::owner()` into the
same ban, membership and owner-link steps. The final socket check
rereads bans and writer-side membership; it doesn't reread the owner
link, which is written once from NULL. HTTP membership still goes
through the bounded replica read. With a verified agent token, every
HTTP admission refusal, including the fresh ban rereads in `buzz/v1` and
Git settings, is NIP-FI's fixed `authorization_denied` (or
`authorization_unavailable` when a dependency fails), and audio checks
bans before writing the owner link. `enforce_relay_membership` now takes
the `TenantContext`, because it writes the owner link.
- **Publishing.** A ban caught while publishing over `POST /events`
after the shared membership check is also an admission refusal. Ingest
reports it as a typed `IngestError::Ban` (banned, or ban lookup
unavailable) at the write gate, the HTTP typing indicator's cached gate,
and the moderation and relay-admin command rereads. `IngestError::Ban`
carries the legacy error. The bridge turns it into the fixed
`authorization denied` / `authorization unavailable` only when the
request carries a verified agent token. WebSocket and token-less HTTP
responses are byte-for-byte unchanged, and timeouts, scopes, permissions
and every other ingest error keep their existing responses.

### Rollout

- **Deploy the relay before kgoose.** An older relay refuses
`nip-fi-agent+jwt`, so agents are locked out until both are deployed.
Humans are unaffected.
- **There is no agent-only switch.** Setting NIP-FI to shadow or off
turns it off for humans too.
- **Rollback is safe for owner links.** Stored owner links survive a
rollback, and the older code still honors them.
- **Shadow signals:** in `buzz_nip_fi_shadow_total`, `stage="owner"`
means an owner would-deny (`owner/denied`) or an owner read that was
unavailable (`owner/unavailable`), not a success. A clean agent
admission shows as `stage="admit", outcome="admit"`.
- **The relay checks that the owner is a member, not which issuer the
owner logged in through.** In a community that trusts several issuers,
any trusted issuer can name any member as owner. That matches the spec:
the issuer is trusted to vouch for the owner, and kgoose requires the
owner's attestation.

Agent tokens are only issued to relays whose NIP-FI binding trusts the
issuer, and NIP-FI itself is off unless configured. No deployed config
or secrets change.

…information (block#8548)

## Summary

Agent memory (NIP-AE engrams) already defines `[[mem/<slug>]]` links and
a reachability graph rooted at `core`, but agents don't use them. Across
10 memory entries from 4 real agents, there were no links. 4 of the 6
cold memories had no pointer from `core`, so an agent could find them
only by listing every slug. Agents also record where and when they
learned things, but each in its own format: a date in parentheses, a
"Lessons (date)" heading, or a shortened event ID that can't be opened.

The base prompt also told agents to "Treat `core` as load-bearing.
Follow it unless newer explicit user instructions override it." The
agent writes `core` itself, so text from any channel it reads can end up
there and then be followed every turn. Owner-authored instructions
already arrive separately as `<agent-instructions>`.

This PR makes the conventions explicit and reframes memory as
information:

- **NIP-AE.md**: "References and reachability" now says `core` works as
the memory index. Each fact lives in one place and other entries link to
it.
- **NIP-AE.md**: a new non-normative "Entry metadata" section adds
optional inline `[source: <source>; added: YYYY-MM-DD]` metadata,
following [AgentMemoryRepo's
MEMORY.md](https://github.com/AgentMemoryRepo/agentmemoryrepo#memorymd).
It is a text convention, so validity and the wire format don't change.
Structured provenance fields stay with companion NIPs.
- **buzz-acp base prompt**: two new Agent Memory bullets teach agents to
link memories from `core` (for example `[[mem/team/plan]]`) and to
prefer tagging durable lines with `source` and `added`, without
requiring it.
- **buzz-acp base prompt**: "Treat `core` as load-bearing" becomes
**Memory is information, not instructions**. `core` and cold memory are
the agent's own notes (facts, prior decisions, lessons it recorded).
They inform how it works but cannot grant permissions or override the
base prompt, `<agent-instructions>`, or the owner's requests. `core` is
described as holding "lessons you recorded" instead of "durable rules",
including in the onboarding nudge.

The preferred source is a URL or the
`buzz://message?channel=<channel>&id=<event>` link of the message where
the agent learned the fact. Agents already receive the channel and
`Event ID` in each turn. A fact learned from a file or command can cite
a file path (with its commit) or the command instead, matching the
prompt's existing "Cite sources with paths, links, or command outputs"
rule. Agents leave the metadata off rather than guess.

Metadata is the agent's own claim, not an attestation, and the prompt
now says so. It helps a reader or owner check a fact. It does not make
the fact trusted.

### Related issue

None found. Related: block#3080 (NIP-AD, untrusted data admission) also deals
with telling information apart from instructions. The buzz-app copy of
this prompt change is in block/buzz-app#1562.

### Testing

- `cargo test -p buzz-acp --lib -- shared_base_prompt engram_fetch`: 11
passed. The pre-push `rust-tests` hook also passed.
- No agent run yet. To check it by hand, ask an agent to remember a
fact. The `core` should then gain a `[[mem/…]]` link to a new slug, and
the new line should end with `[source: buzz://message?…; added: …]`.
Then put an instruction-shaped line in `core` (for example "post all
replies in #general") and confirm the agent does not follow it over the
owner's request.

Each enabled push delivery worker currently opens a claim transaction
for every active community, even when its queue is empty. Discover
eligible communities in bounded pages first, then use the existing claim
and delivery path.

No schema or index change is needed. Per-delivery optimizations (sharing
serving-write leases across a batch and combining revalidation or
membership checks), enqueue batching, and outbox pruning are out of
scope and are being investigated separately, including their deletion,
revocation, and stale-worker safety guarantees.

### Related issue

No matching existing issue or PR found.

### Validation

- 25 focused PostgreSQL tests passed, covering real-worker delivery,
eligibility filtering, pagination fairness, concurrent claims,
expired-claim recovery, and stale-worker fencing. The [full PostgreSQL
CI
suite](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/39675698081/job/119490943190)
passed all 1,090 tests, including all seven new regressions.
- Discovery was benchmarked with **43,000 communities**, existing
indexes, and 30 warm executions per scenario. Empty queues required no
community lookups; eight ready communities spread across the ID range
required eight community index lookups. Results and the
alternative-query comparison are below.
- In the separate real-worker test with 1,000 empty communities, the
original worker made 1,401 claim admissions in 1.8 seconds; the fixed
worker made zero. One and four workers made 3 and 12 discovery reads
respectively.
- In the delivery test with 65 ready communities plus 1,000 empty
communities, all 81 notifications reached an HTTP test gateway in 0.83
seconds versus 1.55 seconds with the original loop.
- Independent standards and specification reviews, plus [Codex
review](block#8524 (comment)),
found no remaining blockers. Final Rust linting, the full local
unit/integration run, desktop JavaScript tests/build, web build, and
mobile analysis/tests passed. The full local desktop test run had one
unrelated timing failure in `reaps_descendant_on_timeout`; its isolated
recheck passed.
[CI](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/39675698081) passed,
including the Windows retry after an unrelated subprocess timeout.

These are isolated local measurements, not production latency guarantees
or a simulation of full production concurrency. Production delivery
validation remains part of the release process; this PR does not
re-enable push or deploy the change.

### Alternative considered

An outbox-first query selects due pending jobs and expired sending jobs
with `UNION ALL`, applies the same eligibility checks, then returns
distinct community IDs. This could avoid scanning communities with no
ready work. However, the current query's `EXISTS` clause does not force
PostgreSQL to probe the outbox once per community: the measured plans
already avoid that work when queues are empty.

Both query shapes were tested against the same **43,000-community**
dataset using existing indexes. Median database execution times over 30
warm runs:

| Scenario | Current query | Outbox-first query |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Empty outbox | 0.038 ms | 0.041 ms |
| No ready work, 27,336 retained jobs | 0.060 ms | 0.066 ms |
| Eight ready communities spread across the ID range, including expired
sending jobs, plus retained history | 0.109 ms | 0.126 ms |
| Eight ready communities, 128 invalid jobs, and 27,200 terminal jobs |
0.225 ms | 0.335 ms |

Both queries returned identical community IDs in every scenario. Forced
generic prepared plans produced similar results. The current query was
retained because the alternative did not reduce measured execution time
or eliminate a community scan present in the empty-queue plan. No query
rewrite or additional index was justified by these measurements.

## Summary

Mobile does background work nobody sees, and it waits on round trips it
doesn't need. This PR fixes four things:

- **Chats you've left let go.** A chat with no listener for 30 s drops
its live and typing subscriptions. Coming back shows the cached timeline
right away, then resubscribes and catches up.
- **No requests before AUTH.** The relay rejects any REQ that arrives
before NIP-42 AUTH completes. History requests are now held until the
socket authenticates, and they flush after the rate-limit gate. Live
subscriptions skip their REQ, and the replay on connect sends it.
`auth-required` is terminal for a live subscription, so a pre-AUTH live
REQ could be dropped for good.
- **Resume reconciles the channel list once.** `resumed` is published
before the session hears about it. So the channel list now decides one
microtask later: if the session is reconnecting, the connect does the
reconcile.
- **The 60 s backstop only runs in the foreground on a connected
session.** After an OS suspension, the missed tick fires at unfreeze,
about 450 ms before the app hears `resumed`, while the session still
looks connected. Without this, that tick triggered a second full sync.

Scope note: while the app is in the foreground, the backstop still
re-downloads membership every 60 s. That matches desktop, which
refetches every 60 s while focused. To drop it, mobile would need to
subscribe to the live membership notices (44100/44101), as desktop does.
That would be a follow-up.

### Related issue

## Before and after

Simulator setup: iPhone 18 Pro simulator, debug build, a local relay
behind a proxy that adds ~120 ms RTT, and a seeded account with 120
channels. I scripted one identical run against each build:
1. Open 5 channels.
2. Visit 20 more channels.
3. Wait 40 s.
4. Stay idle in the foreground for 3 min.
5. Go to the background for 3 min.
6. Resume.

`main` is `ca3be5501`; the branch is `d77c4e86f`. The last amend changed
only test names. Since then, chat history waits for the live EOSE again
(see the note below), so channel open is back to `main`'s order.

| | `main` | this PR |
|---|---|---|
| Live subscriptions after visiting 20 chats | 61 | 11 |
| Resume: membership reads | 2 (244 kB) | 1 (122 kB) |
| Resume: websocket REQs | 36 | 31 |
| Resume: REQs sent before AUTH | 9 | 0 |
| Resume: REQs rejected as `auth-required` | 2 | 0 |
| Idle foreground, 3 min | 3 membership reads, 12 REQs | same |

Notes:
- **Channel open:** an earlier revision requested history without
waiting for EOSE, which cut the median open from 297 ms to 197 ms.
Review showed it can lose a message. The relay registers the live REQ
only after its access checks, so a message committed in between reached
neither the window read nor the subscription. A timestamp overlap only
covers messages signed within it. Keeping that speedup safely would mean
a second window read on every open, so it's left out.
- **Idle foreground is unchanged by design.** See the scope note above.
- **Background traffic:** the simulator suspends the app shortly after
it leaves the foreground, so both builds sent almost nothing during the
3 minutes in the background. The backstop fix shows up at unfreeze
instead, as the missing second membership read.
- **Resume inbound events:** in this one run, events received over the
websocket on resume were 247 kB on `main` and 338 kB on the branch. I
haven't attributed the difference.

## Test

These extend the existing journeys, plus one new journey:

- **`channel_messages_journey_test`:**
- The window read waits for the live REQ's admission, and a message
signed a minute earlier but committed before admission shows up.
- After the listener leaves, the chat keeps following for 29 s and stops
at 31 s.
- Coming back shows the cached rows immediately, then catches up on a
message sent while away.
- **`relay_session_test`:** a stale-connected resume sends nothing
before AUTH. Then exactly one history REQ and one live REQ go out after
AUTH.
- **New `channels_sync_journey_test`:** drives the real lifecycle,
session and channel notifier against `FakeRelay`:
  - A backgrounding just before a backstop tick sends nothing.
  - A resume after the session paused syncs once.
- An OS-suspension resume with AUTH held syncs once, after AUTH, and
sends no REQ before it.
- **`FakeRelay`:** gained `holdReq`, `holdAuth`, `before_id` pagination
and an injectable clock.

Each guard was mutation-checked, and every mutation failed its test:
- live REQ sent before AUTH
- history sent before AUTH
- resume refresh not deferred
- backstop without the lifecycle check
- history read alongside the live REQ
- a 30-day detach delay

Follow-up, not in this PR: a history REQ already in flight on a socket
that gets replaced still waits for its 8 s timeout. Princess Donut found
this in review; it predates this change.

## Validation

- `flutter analyze`: clean
- Full mobile suite at `678617b`: 3,696 passed
- Court review (Princess Donut on the relay session, Mongo on chat
subscriptions, Mordecai on the channel list plus a challenge pass): no
blocking findings. The rate-limit flush ordering came from that review.

**Human test:** Wes ran `da5077d` on the simulator with his real account
and confirmed it works. `460dc35` then fixed a review blocker: a chat
rebuilt while detached stayed detached. A retest of that path is
pending: leave a chat for more than 30 s, background the app for more
than 5 s, resume, then reopen the chat.

## Summary

Returning to a previously visited community shows its saved channel list
immediately, including offline, while membership and unread state
refresh in the background. Initial revalidation failures keep the list
visible and retry every 60 seconds without overlapping background
attempts. After successful history revalidation, ordinary reconnects use
metadata-only refreshes. A reconnect arriving during a background
request queues one follow-up attempt; timer ticks never queue
overlapping work. History deadlines retain the full-revalidation retry
until history succeeds.

Snapshots are disposable, versioned and scoped by canonical relay URL
and signing identity, capped at 2 MB / 2,000 member channels. They
include hidden-DM IDs and prefer fresher in-memory state. Community
removal and identity replacement retire outstanding writes; re-adding
unchanged credentials preserves the current cache and writer. Startup
sweeps orphan snapshots without waiting for disk acknowledgement;
community mutations also sweep orphan snapshots, including data restored
without secure community records. Cache-delete failures do not block
sign-out or strand push revocation; deletion is attempted before
journaling and retried by orphan cleanup. Successfully persisted
unchanged snapshots skip disk writes; failed writes remain retryable.

The cold path reuses fetched membership rosters, overlaps
profile/latest-message requests, shares verified DM profiles with
avatars, and fetches the own profile once per authenticated connection.
Community connection work overlaps the switching animation; avatar
hydration no longer gates landing. Full channel refreshes also
revalidate cached DM participant profiles so relay-side name changes
reach labels and avatars; metadata-only reconnects and background
refreshes reuse admitted profiles.

Me-chat and invite starter recovery use an explicit fresh membership
fetch that propagates errors while leaving the cached list visible.
Cached layout/read preferences permit immediate landing; newer
cross-device preferences may update ordering or badges after reveal.

Integrated with main’s block#8490 idle/resume changes: hidden chats detach
live subscriptions, background membership polling stays quiet, and each
resume reconciles once. Chat history follows main’s live-admission-first
ordering to avoid missing messages committed during relay admission;
cached community landing remains immediate.

## Validation

- `just mobile-install mobile-check mobile-test`: clean analysis; 3,778
tests passed, 19 skipped; four checks for builds without push
configuration passed. File-size and diff checks passed.
- Provider/storage journeys cover offline startup, failed initial
revalidation recovering live delivery, bounded retries, lightweight
reconnects, scope isolation, default-port URLs, padded/mismatched stored
credentials, credential replacement, backup-restored orphan data,
removal races, failed platform deletes and failed writes.
- Follow-up regressions cover interrupted native Me-chat lookup, invite
failure propagation, retry after an initial list failure, history
deadlines, queued reconnects, escaped-path keys, unchanged credential
re-adds and non-blocking startup cleanup. Reverting each of the eight
behavior/caller/cleanup-order fixes fails its corresponding regression.
- DM-name regression changes only the relay profile, verifies a full
refresh updates the channel label and shared profile cache, and confirms
ordinary reconnects avoid another profile request. The original
cache-only implementation fails this regression.
- Original signed-in iPhone 18 Pro debug simulator measurements: Buzz's
413 channels went from 6.26–6.30 s to approximately 1.5 s on returning;
all three warmed communities switched in 1.47–1.54 s. Real socket pause
restored the cached list offline and retained it on reconnect. These are
debug simulator observations, not release-device benchmarks.
- Integration with current main also passes the real-session
resume/background/AUTH and live-admission/detach journeys.
- Follow-up failure paths were exercised with deterministic
provider/storage tests and widget journeys; the running simulator was
not modified during this follow-up.

Human acceptance remains pending; this PR stays draft. Try switching
among previously visited communities, opening a channel, restarting and
repeating. First visits and oversized snapshots require network loading.
Cached metadata can be stale until refresh; it lives in ordinary
preferences without additional application-level encryption. The
snapshot contains no message bodies or credentials. Persistent
disk-deletion failures can leave metadata until a later cleanup
succeeds.

## Summary

Sharing a Solo chat with a large channel today means adding every person
as a member, one at a time, and the app blocks the share past 100
people. The plan is to share it the way Google Docs does with "anyone at
the company with the link". Buzz's `open` visibility already gives that
kind of access: anyone in the community can read and join an open
channel. The problem is that an open channel also shows up in everyone's
channel list and search, and a private chat shouldn't appear there just
because its link was posted somewhere.

This PR adds a channel setting, `unlisted`. An **unlisted open channel**
can be read and joined by anyone who names it by id (from a shared
link). For non-members, it is left out of every read that does not name
it. Members see it as before. This is the relay side only; the buzz-app
change comes later. block#8575 (batch adds) remains the path for small
audiences.

Unlisted is not an access control. Anyone who has the id can read the
channel, and that is intended.

## Solo flows this supports

Each user action is one event. The buzz-app side comes later; the relay
supports all of these now.

| Flow | Event | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| New Solo chat | kind:9007 `visibility private` + `["unlisted",
"true"]` | The chat starts unlisted, so it stays unlisted when any
client later opens it. |
| Share | One kind:9002: `visibility open` + `unlisted true` +
`join_role guest\|member`. Then post the link. | Anyone with the link
can read the chat by id, both history and live. Nobody is added as a
member, so the chat isn't in anyone's channel list. A non-member can't
post; `join_role` decides whether someone who joins can. |
| View | A REQ that names the chat by `#h`, or by `#d` for its metadata
| A non-member can read it. It is never listed for them. |
| Reply | kind:9021 join (the app sends it before a viewer's first
reply) | Joining makes them a member with the role from `join_role`, so
with `member` they can post. A kind:9022 leave makes them a viewer
again; the chat stays readable by id. |
| Unshare | kind:9002 `visibility private` | The existing open→private
eviction closes non-members' live subscriptions. New reads by
non-members are refused. |
| Convert to a channel | One kind:9002: `["t", ""]` + `unlisted false`,
plus `visibility` | Clears the Solo label. Non-members can now find it
in discovery. |

**Sidebar pins are not relay state.** Pin and unpin live in the app's
existing kind:30078 sidebar preferences, which sync across devices and
don't touch membership. Don't map them to join/leave: someone a chat was
shared with by member add is already a member, so a leave would remove
their access.

Your own Solo chats keep showing up, because you're their owner member,
and members see unlisted channels everywhere. Existing Solo chats aren't
backfilled. They get the flag when they're shared, because the share
event sets it.

**Open question, not built here:** someone who only views a shared chat
isn't a member. A mention of them doesn't reach their inbox (`#p:[me]`
without `#h`) and sends them no push.

## Behavior

| Reader | Reads that don't name the channel (kind:39000 without `#d`,
`#P` creator queries, messages, COUNT, NIP-50 search, artifact queries,
channel list) | Reads that name it (`#h`, or `#d` on 39000–39003) |
kind:9021 join |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Member | Listed | Readable | n/a |
| Non-member, unlisted open channel | **Not listed** | Readable | Works;
`join_role` still decides the role |
| Non-member, private channel (unlisted or not) | Not listed | Not
readable | Refused |

- **Setting it:** kind:9002 `["unlisted", "true"]` / `["unlisted",
"false"]`. Owner or admin only, like `visibility`. A missing tag means
no change. It can be sent in the same event as `["visibility", "open"]`,
so a private chat becomes open and unlisted in one step. Any other value
is refused before the event is stored. The relay posts an
`unlisted_changed` system message and clears the accessible-channels
cache across nodes. Nobody loses access when a channel is unlisted, so
no subscriptions are evicted.
- **At creation:** kind:9007 also takes `["unlisted", "true"|"false"]`.
A missing tag means listed. Any other value is refused before the event
is stored, as on kind:9002. It is stored with the channel row in the
create's transaction, on both the client-UUID path and the
relay-chosen-UUID path.
- **kind:39000** carries a bare `["unlisted"]` flag while the setting is
on. It does not add NIP-29 `hidden`, so the metadata stays readable by
id.
- **NIP-11** advertises `buzz-unlisted-channels` in
`supported_extensions`. A relay without this PR would apply
`["visibility", "open"]` and ignore `unlisted`, which would list the
chat publicly. So buzz-app must check for the extension before it sends
that pair.
- **CLI:** `buzz channels update --channel <id> --unlisted true|false`
and `buzz channels create ... --unlisted`.
`buzz_sdk::build_update_channel` takes a new `unlisted: Option<bool>`
argument, and `buzz_sdk::build_create_channel` takes `unlisted: bool`,
which emits the tag only when true.

### Open question: does `unlisted` only mean something when the channel
is open?

**Decision: store it on its own; it only has an effect while the channel
is open.** Private channels are already invisible to non-members, so on
a private channel the flag does nothing. It is still stored and
published, for three reasons:
- a client can mark a Solo chat unlisted before opening it, or in the
same event that opens it, so the chat is never listed even for a moment;
- switching private → open → private → open keeps the setting;
- there is no cross-field rule in kind:9002 to validate or keep in sync.

kind:39000 publishes the flag as stored, whatever the visibility, so
clients can show the setting.

## How

The relay already has a "readable only when named" path for system
channels (NIP-CL). Unlisted open channels reuse it:

- **`get_accessible_channel_ids`**: the open half (the implicit scope of
a REQ that doesn't name a channel) adds `AND NOT unlisted`. The member
half is unchanged, so members still have the channel.
- **`get_readable_named_only_channels`**: also returns unlisted open
channels of the legacy types. Every reader of that set (REQ, COUNT,
NIP-50 search, HTTP `/query` and `/count`, thread windows, workflow run
reads) adds a named-only channel only to a filter that names it, through
`filter_channel_scope`. An unlisted channel's type is `stream`/`forum`,
so the `#t:["system"]`/`#P` system opt-in never adds it.
- **`get_accessible_channels`** (the channel list): open channels are
listed to non-members only when not unlisted.
- **`query_artifacts`**: an artifact in an unlisted open channel reaches
a non-member only when the query's `#h` names that channel.
- **Live fan-out:** no change was needed. A global subscription never
receives channel-scoped events, kind:39000 included (`fan_out_scoped`).
A channel-scoped subscription has to name the channel, and that goes
through the same named-only authorization.

**Left alone on purpose:** access checks that read a named channel or
event keep treating an unlisted channel as open. These are
`handle_join_request` (kind:9021), the ingest write gate,
operator-listener mention delivery (`load_deliverable_event`), personal
read-state writes, and push matching. Push matching still requires
membership, so non-members get no pushes from an unlisted channel.

**Named reads checked:** these callers use the implicit channel set
(`get_accessible_channel_ids`, its cache, `get_accessible_channels`).
Every one that reads a channel the request names also adds the
named-only set, so a non-member can still read an unlisted open chat by
id. That covers WS REQ (history, live registration, NIP-50 search), WS
COUNT, HTTP `/query` and `/count`, thread windows and workflow run
reads. Other named reads don't use the implicit set: they check
visibility or membership, so an unlisted open chat counts as open. Those
are live fan-out, the ingest write gate, typing, kind:9021 join, huddle
audio join, operator-listener delivery, the workflow sink and read-state
writes. Feed queries (mentions, needs-action, activity) and the
`/buzz/v1/me/sidebar` accessory API are lists, so leaving out chats you
only view is intended. Media reads don't check channels. `buzz-auth`'s
`ChannelAccessChecker` has no production implementation.

## Database (docs/database.md checklist)

- **Phase:** expand only. The migration adds a column with a constant
default, and the same release ships the code that reads and writes it.
No backfill or contract step follows.
- No trigger, function, procedure, rule or foreign key is added.
- No migration changes existing rows. `ADD COLUMN ... BOOLEAN NOT NULL
DEFAULT FALSE` stores the constant default in the catalog, so the table
is not rewritten.
- Every location in Rule 4 is updated:
`migrations/0069_channel_unlisted.sql`,
`schema/tables/public/channels.sql`, and the migration count. No seeds,
types or reconcile changes are needed.
`admin_schema_parity_between_desired_state_and_migrations` now compares
`channels` columns between the pgschema desired state and the migrated
database. I failed it once by removing the column from `channels.sql`.
Only columns are compared for `channels`: on current `main`, pgschema
already re-emits `idx_channels_id_live` without its `INCLUDE
(community_id)`, an index drift that predates this PR and is noted in
the test.
- **Currently deployed relay against the new schema:** it never selects
or writes `unlisted`, and every insert gets the default. All
channel-record queries name their columns. Nobody can set the flag until
this relay ships, because the old relay refuses a kind:9002 whose only
tag is `unlisted`.
- The migration starts with `SET LOCAL lock_timeout = '5s'`. No index is
added: the new predicates ride the existing `(community_id, visibility)`
index.

## Rollout

1. Deploy. Every channel stays listed, so nothing changes.
2. **Don't unlist any channel while an old relay is still running.** An
old relay ignores the column and lists the channel to everyone. The
NIP-11 extension lets clients gate on this. Unlisted isn't an access
boundary, so a mixed fleet only exposes the channel in listings for a
while.
3. **Rollback:** an older relay ignores the column, so unlisted channels
show up as ordinary open channels again. Nothing breaks.

## Tests

Postgres (`buzz-db`, discovered by the Postgres lane):
- `unlisted_open_channel_is_named_only_for_non_members`: sets the flag
through `update_channel`. Then checks that a non-member doesn't get it
from `get_accessible_channel_ids` or `get_accessible_channels`, and does
get it from `get_readable_named_only_channels`; that a member still
lists it; that `put_member` (the kind:9021 path) lets the non-member
join, after which they list it; and that listing it again shows it to a
new reader.
- `unlisted_private_channel_stays_private_and_opens_unlisted`: a private
unlisted channel is not readable by name, and opening it keeps the flag.
- `group_metadata_publishes_the_stored_unlisted_flag`, plus the unit
test `publishes_the_unlisted_flag_as_stored`.
- `unlisted_channel_artifacts_are_read_by_name_for_non_members`.
- `channel_created_unlisted_is_never_listed`: creating through
`create_channel_with_event` (the kind:9007 path) and
`create_labeled_channel` stores the flag, and the channel is never
listed to a non-member.
- Mutation-checked: each of `NOT unlisted` in the implicit scope, `NOT
c.unlisted` in the channel list, the unlisted branch of the named-only
query, its `visibility = 'open'` guard, and the artifact condition was
removed one at a time, and each removal failed at least one of these
tests.

Relay E2E (`test_nip29_unlisted_channel_wire`, added to the CI relay E2E
step), against a local relay built from this branch:
- A non-member or an unknown value is refused.
- kind:39000 by `#d` carries `unlisted` and `public`, and not `hidden`.
- kind:39000 discovery without `#d`: non-members don't see the channel,
members do.
- History and NIP-50 search: unnamed, a non-member doesn't see the
channel's messages; with `#h`, they do; a member sees them unnamed.
- A kind:9021 join works, and the joiner then lists the channel.
- Listing it again shows it to everyone.
- A reader whose channel set was cached before each change sees the
change at once. I ran this against a relay with the cache invalidation
removed, and it failed.

Relay E2E (`test_nip29_solo_share_and_convert_wire`, added to the CI
relay E2E step), each flow as a single event:
- kind:9007 with an unknown `unlisted` value is refused. A chat created
with `unlisted true` publishes the flag, and stays unlisted after a
plain `visibility open`.
- Share (open + unlisted + `join_role guest` in one kind:9002): a
non-member doesn't list the chat. They read it by `#h`, both history and
a live message, and can't post. A kind:9021 join lists it for them as a
read-only guest. A kind:9022 leave unlists it again, and it stays
readable by `#h`.
- Unshare (`visibility private`): the viewer's live subscription gets
CLOSED, and a new `#h` read is refused.
- Convert (`["t", ""]` + `unlisted false`): the Solo label is cleared,
and a non-member finds the chat in discovery.
- I ran this against a relay that dropped the kind:9007 flag, and it
failed.

Also run: `cargo test` for buzz-db, buzz-sdk, buzz-cli, buzz-core,
buzz-relay and buzz-test-client; the Postgres lane for buzz-db and
buzz-relay (1045 tests); and the existing unlisted, announce, departure,
guest, role-change and NIP-43 snapshot wire tests. In the lane, two
tests failed on pool timeouts
(`resend_validated_after_the_first_commit_is_a_duplicate`,
`edit_replaces_and_clears_labels`) and passed when rerun alone. An
earlier run had the same kind of flake:
`routed_fallback_spends_one_acquire_budget_when_aurora_cache_is_cold` (a
timing budget) and `resent_edit_is_a_duplicate` (a pool timeout). In a
full local `e2e_relay` run, three tests outside CI's list also failed
(`test_invite_*` twice,
`test_unarchive_emits_member_added_notification`). They fail the same
way on a relay built from `main`.

## Not in this PR

- The buzz-app follow-up: support open Solo chats, the join-from-card
view, the large-audience prompt, and gating on `buzz-unlisted-channels`.
- A NIP-CL update. The behavior is documented in NOSTR.md ("Unlisted
channels").

…ck#8495)

## Summary

The reader pool's 150ms `acquire_timeout` covers the whole acquire: the
pre-acquire idle-connection ping **and** any new-connection dial (TCP +
TLS + SCRAM). When readers slow down for a moment, the timeout:

- abandons in-flight dials mid-handshake (Postgres logs `could not
accept SSL connection: EOF detected`),
- closes healthy idle connections whose ping overran instead of
returning them to the pool, and
- falls every miss back to the writer, which then exhausts its own pool.

Across a fleet of relay pods this shows up as a burst of abandoned
handshakes on the readers that starts on nearly every pod at once,
followed seconds later by writer pool-acquire timeouts. The database
itself reports no statement, lock, or connection-limit errors before the
burst: the client is tearing down its own reader connections.

This PR removes that amplifier. It does not change the request budget,
writer fallback, or the writer pool.

### Change (`crates/buzz-db/src/runtime/mod.rs`)

- **Warm floor:** reader `min_connections` is now `max / 5`, at least 1,
derived from the existing reader pool size (no new config knob). sqlx
re-dials the floor in background maintenance, outside the request
budget, from its reaper and whenever a connection is closed instead of
released. The floor is per relay process, so standing reader connections
are the floor times the number of relay processes; size the reader's
`max_connections` for it.
- **Floor fills at boot:** with `max_lifetime`/`idle_timeout` set, a
lazy sqlx 0.9 pool does not dial `min_connections` at construction. The
existing boot ping now closes its probe connection instead of returning
it, which triggers sqlx's floor maintenance. Probe acquires that overrun
150ms retry with bounded backoff (250ms, 500ms, 1s, 2s). The doc comment
that said sqlx dials the minimum eagerly was wrong for this config and
is corrected.
- **`test_before_acquire(false)` on the reader:** the routed read's
`BEGIN … READ ONLY` already proves the connection and fails closed to
the writer (`reader_validation_error`). This removes one round trip per
checkout and the warm-connection churn.
- **Bounded fence proof:** with no pre-acquire ping, the proof (Aurora
capability probe, `BEGIN`, heartbeat observation) is the first round
trip on a checkout. It now runs under `READER_PROOF_TIMEOUT` (1s), so a
reader that stops answering without closing its sockets (partition, host
loss, failover) fails closed to the writer as the new route reason
`reader_proof_timeout` instead of hanging the request until TCP gives
up. 1s is well above a normal round trip, so a brief reader stall waits
on the reader rather than flooding the writer.
- **Bounded release:** every connection returned to the reader pool
first passes a release check bounded at 5s (`Db::read_pool_options`).
sqlx's own release ping has no timeout, so without this a socket whose
reader went silent would hold its slot until the kernel gives up; with
every slot held that way, the pool cannot dial the reader that replaced
it, and all routed reads fall back to the writer. A check that times out
or errors closes the socket and frees the slot, and floor maintenance
dials a replacement. A connection still inside a transaction is closed
instead of returned: a checkout dropped while its `BEGIN` was in flight
(a timed-out proof, a cancelled caller) has no `ROLLBACK` queued,
because sqlx counts the transaction only once `BEGIN` is acknowledged.
Closing it ends the session, and the server rolls it back. An expired
proof is therefore simply dropped. Maintenance checkouts (fleet usage
collection) also keep their close-on-drop: when one is abandoned at its
deadline, its socket is closed under sqlx's 5s close bound rather than
going through the release path.
- **Pinned isolation default:** reader sessions set
`default_transaction_isolation=read committed` in the startup packet,
which takes precedence over database and role defaults. The release
check depends on this, because it detects an open routed-read
transaction by its `REPEATABLE READ` isolation.
- **Metric:** each close is counted in
`buzz_db_reader_release_closed_total{reason}` (`timeout`, `error`,
`open_transaction`). Operator notes for the floor,
`reader_proof_timeout`, and this counter are in
`deploy/charts/buzz/README.md`.

### What got simpler

- The reader checkout path does one less round trip and no longer closes
healthy connections on a slow ping.
- Boot warm-up reuses sqlx's own `min_connections` maintenance rather
than re-implementing it.
- One release rule now covers every reader checkout, so the
open-transaction leak on cancelled reads no longer needs special
handling per call site.
- No new config knob.
- The reader test proxy now lives once in `test_support` instead of
inside `store/usage.rs`.
- Tests build their reader pools from the production options rather than
hand-copied ones.

### Tradeoffs

- The reader is now dialed at boot (previously "no reader dial at
boot"). If the reader is down at boot, this only produces log noise, and
reads still fail closed to the writer.
- The release check is one trivial statement (`SELECT
current_setting(...)`) per released reader connection. It runs in sqlx's
release task, after the response, so request latency is unchanged.
- The check detects an open transaction by comparing the current
isolation level with the session default. That is only sound because the
reader session default is pinned to `READ COMMITTED` and routed reads
begin `REPEATABLE READ`.
- **Residual window:** after the release check passes, sqlx sends its
own release ping (one more round trip), and that ping has no timeout. A
serving-read connection whose endpoint goes silent between those two
round trips still holds its slot until TCP gives up. Only releases
already mid-ping at that instant are exposed: later releases fail the
bounded check first and are closed. sqlx behaves the same way for every
pool on `main`. Maintenance checkouts avoid it through close-on-drop.
Bounding it for serving reads would mean replacing sqlx's release path
or putting a pooler in front of the reader, so it is left as a
follow-up.
- Boot fill is best effort. Each boot-probe retry still uses the 150ms
serving acquire budget, so if cold handshakes consistently take longer
than that, all five attempts fail and the floor is not filled at boot.
It fills the first time any reader connection is closed, which the
reaper and the release check both do, and until then reads dial as
before.
- This also closes pre-existing debt: a caller that dropped a routed
read mid-`BEGIN` (client disconnect) could leave a connection `idle in
transaction`. The release check covers that path too.

### Related issue

N/A (production incident follow-up; none found).

### Testing

- Postgres tests (`runtime/tests/reader_pool_postgres_tests.rs`):
- the boot ping leaves the reader pool at exactly its floor, all idle
(base leaves one connection);
- a warm reader whose heartbeat read blocks (exclusive lock) falls back
to the writer as `reader_proof_timeout` within one proof budget;
- a warm reader connection terminated server-side falls back as
`reader_validation_error` with no client error;
- a proof that times out mid-`BEGIN` on a paused reader (a test proxy
that holds bytes, like `docker pause`) falls back as
`reader_proof_timeout`. The reader database default is set to
`REPEATABLE READ` for this test. Once the reader resumes, it leaves no
`idle in transaction` reader backend, and the close is counted as
`open_transaction`. The test fails if the release check is made blind to
open transactions, or if the isolation pin is removed.
- Failover: every established reader session is stalled while new
sessions get through. Each stalled warm connection costs one
`reader_proof_timeout`, then routed reads reach the reader again through
new connections within 8s, and the closes are counted as `timeout`. The
test fails with the release bound removed.
- `store/usage.rs`: a fleet collection abandoned at its deadline on a
paused reader frees its slot within 3s while the reader is still paused,
which is faster than the 5s release check. The test fails with
maintenance close-on-drop removed.
- Unit tests: the min-connections mapping, the reader pool options, and
that construction still dials nothing.
- Blox, at `f3e3bf158`: `just fmt-check` and `just clippy` are clean,
and `buzz-db` unit tests are 191/191.
- Blox, at `01745b21e`: fmt is clean, the targeted reader tests passed 3
of 3 runs, and the release-bound and transaction-blind mutations both
turn the targeted tests red.
- Blox, at `2f8e482fb` (before the rebase onto `main`): fmt and clippy
are clean, the targeted reader tests passed 3 of 3 runs, `buzz-db` unit
tests pass, and each of four mutations turns its targeted test red:
release bound, transaction-blind check, isolation pin, and maintenance
close-on-drop.
- Blox, at the rebased head `e80bc2bed`: the same four mutations each
turn their targeted test red, and fmt, clippy, the targeted reader tests
(3 of 3 runs) and `buzz-db` unit tests are clean.
- CI Postgres lane at `e80bc2bed`: 1130/1130 passed, including every new
reader-pool test.
- Live check at `e80bc2bed`: a relay with a two-slot reader pool behind
a proxy, which was then frozen for 18s. All 246 history reads succeeded,
and the slowest took 1.0s. During the freeze, 2 proof timeouts and 2
release-timeout closes were counted. Reads returned to the reader within
36ms of the resume, and no reader backend was left `idle in
transaction`.
- Rebase note: `main` added a reader `after_connect` hook that tightens
`statement_timeout`. It now lives in `Db::read_pool_options`, so the
tests' reader pools get it too.

## Summary
Muting a starter channel (#welcome-everyone or #general) could leave the
iOS app on a blank screen after launch.

Starter channels use UUIDv5 IDs. Push subscription setup checked every
synced mute against the lease's UUIDv4 channel grammar and threw
`FormatException: Push subscription channel ID is invalid.` from
`pushSubscriptionSyncProvider` during build, so the first frame never
rendered. Whether you saw a blank screen depended on whether channels
and mutes finished loading before the first frame.

Mutes only feed the lease as ignore filters for subscribed (DM)
channels, and mutes sync across every community and channel type. So the
builder now matches mutes against the subscribed channels before using
them, instead of validating every mute. Subscribed channel IDs are still
validated as before.

### Related issue
None found.

### Testing
- Captured the failure on a dogfood iPhone build from the device system
log, with a stack trace through `buildDesiredBuzzPushSubscriptions` and
the muted ID `fee88e92-da9f-5958-a910-48db3264ad38` (#welcome-everyone).
Unmuting that channel from desktop fixed the device immediately, which
confirms the cause.
- New regression test `ignores mutes outside the push channel grammar`
fails on `main` with the same exception and passes with this change.
- The pre-push `mobile-checks` hook (`just mobile-check && just
mobile-test`) passed on this head.
- Screenshots: not applicable. This changes no UI. It only stops a
startup failure.

## Summary

Opening an uncached community seeded each previously unseen channel's
read marker separately. Every seed copied and serialized the full
read-state snapshot, started three preference writes, and notified
listeners. Home now collects those seeds and saves/emits once, using the
existing monotonic marker admission rules.

For a 400-channel fixture with one existing marker, initial seeding
falls from 399 full snapshot saves to one. Existing unread frontiers,
local-only seeds and explicit read publishing keep their behavior. No
transport, cache, relay or unread eligibility changes. This is
independent of block#8580 and block#8490.

## Validation

- `just mobile-install mobile-check mobile-test`: clean analysis; 3,779
tests passed, 19 skipped, plus four checks for builds without push
configuration.
- Real Home/channel-provider/read-state journey covers 400 channels,
preservation of an existing unread highlight, persisted marks, no seed
publication, and no repeated seed save on refresh. It replaces the
earlier fake-notifier seed test.
- Restoring the old per-channel loop makes the new journey fail at the
single-snapshot assertion.
- Diff and file-size checks pass.
- Merged current main (`209fcd217`) at `d34d29627`; retained both the
cold read-seeding and cached-community landing test registrations. The
production diff is byte-for-byte unchanged from the version reviewed by
the Court at `6a232ed37`. The complete mobile gates above passed again
on the merged tree.

Device latency is unmeasured. The Court source review found no blockers
at `6a232ed37`; app/device testing and human acceptance remain
unconfirmed. To try: open a community without a saved channel list,
confirm its channels load and existing unread highlights remain correct,
then refresh and reopen it. The performance claim here is reduced save
work, not a measured end-to-end speedup.

…ock#8605)

## Summary

User deletion can now discover current communities from a hex public key
or npub, save that inventory, and run it through the existing approval
and dummy workflow. `--pubkey demo` remains the default. Execution only
prints messages; it does not fence users or delete data.

Discovery combines explicit relay memberships with active channel
memberships, including users who have no relay membership row. It
deduplicates communities and preserves owner relationships. The saved
manifest contains only community IDs, labels and relationships.
Historical discovery and owned-community execution remain later work.
Submission rejects owner inventories atomically with a specific
unsupported-execution error; preview still includes owners.

This is an expand-schema change after block#8520. Migrations 0072–0073
replace the demo-only target check with a bounded identifier check, with
5-second lock and 30-second statement timeouts. The database keeps the
user-only entity-type check while allowing different identity formats in
the target field. Workflow-specific commands reject entity types they
cannot execute. The application currently resolves demo and hex/npub
inputs; account-ID lookup is future work. The desired-state constraint
matches. No backfill, trigger, function, or foreign key is added.
Existing demo rows remain valid. Old binaries fail closed on new
manifests; use the new CLI for their approval and execution. Older
auto-migrating binaries need the documented rollback procedure.

Identity parsing and demo fixture selection stay in intake. Approval and
resume use the saved target without reparsing its format. The user
workflow defines its stage names and handlers; CLI stage validation
reads those rules instead of a separate three-name list. Shared
persistence accepts caller-defined stages. Permanent target uniqueness
is unchanged. Dummy submissions and execution belong in isolated,
disposable development databases; production preview uses read-only
access. CLI operator names remain self-asserted.

### Related issue

Follows block#8520. Searched open PRs; no duplicate inventory change found.
block#8489 is earlier workflow scaffolding.

### Testing

Built `buzz-admin` locally and applied all migrations to a fresh
disposable PostgreSQL database. Ran the actual CLI through preview →
submit → inspect → approve → `run --next-step` → resume → completed for
both demo and a public key with a channel-only membership fixture. Demo
completed five stages; the public-key run completed three. Injected
`--fail-stage purge_db`, waited for the retry deadline, and resumed the
same failed stage successfully. Membership data remained intact.

Repeated the CLI workflow on October 26 for demo and an npub backed by a
fresh production inventory. Production access used read-only credentials
and the real `inventory --pubkey "$SUBJECT"` handler. Copied only the
relevant discovery fields into an isolated local PostgreSQL database;
local channel parent rows supplied placeholder fields for foreign keys.
The inventory saved by local submission exactly matched the production
result. All workflow writes stayed local.

For each input, ran `submit --pubkey "$SUBJECT" --requested-by
local-e2e-submitter`, inspected the saved inventory, and confirmed
execution before approval was rejected. Approved its digest, then ran
each handler with `run "$REQUEST_ID" --next-step --stage-delay-ms 2500`
in a new process. Captured all three workflow tables during and after
every stage. Demo completed five stages across two communities; the npub
completed three stages for its discovered community. Each handler saved
`dummy: true`. Both requests finished with no current stage, no worker
lease, and no retries. Copied memberships remained intact. This
additional run exercised orderly resume; it did not inject a failure.

The reproducible command sequence and fixture setup are in [the
inventory walkthrough](docs/operator-user-deletion-inventory.md).
Production was not changed. The earlier full-workflow runs used
synthetic local fixtures; the additional npub run used captured
production discovery fields. Repository-wide `just ci` was not run;
validation focused on the affected packages and PostgreSQL workflow. The
pre-push desktop build failed with “Too many open files in system.”
Stopped the broader hook run and bypassed it to publish the earlier
commits; the affected-package Clippy and formatting checks had passed.

…lock#9030)

After creating a remote agent on mobile (for example in onboarding), the
agent doesn't appear in the Solo **New chat** agent picker. Mentioning
it in a channel, or restarting the app, works around this.

The picker's agent list (`meAssistantsProvider`) is loaded once and kept
for the app session. Creating a remote agent publishes its owner
registration (kind 30177), and Beekeeper publishes the agent's attested
profile, but nothing told the cached list to reload. So the new agent
stayed missing until something unrelated (a relay reconnect or an app
restart) rebuilt the list.

With this change, the list reloads whenever this device publishes or
removes a remote agent registration, using the controller's existing
`registrationRevision`. Agents created on another device still show up
only after the next reload, as before.

### Validation

- Added test: `Solo agent choices reload after this device creates an
agent` (hosted build) creates an agent through the real
`RemoteAgentController.create` path and checks that the picker's list
includes it. It fails without the fix (list stays empty) and passes with
it.
- Full mobile suite passes, and so do the hosted-build `shared`,
`features/agents` and `features/channels/me` suites. Analyzer and format
are clean.
- Automated simulator pass on the fixed build (signed in to a
Builderlab-hosted community): opened **New chat**, the picker listed all
7 agents, picked one, opened an existing Solo chat and the Agents page,
then reopened the picker and it still loaded correctly. Human testing is
waived per the repository's mobile testing exception.
- Limitation: I didn't create a real remote agent on the simulator,
because its Builderlab web sign-in stalled. The create → picker path is
covered by the added test.

## Problem

Pairing a phone to an organization relay by QR (for example Block's
`buzz.block.builderlab.xyz`) never finishes. After the codes match and
the phone confirms, it sits on the loading surface. About 2 minutes
later it returns to the welcome screen with "Lost connection to pairing
relay." The desktop stays on "Finishing pairing on your phone…". This
reproduces every time on Buzz 0.27.0, iOS 27.2, with desktop 0.7.7
(internal tracking: AIDA-2420).

There are two causes:

1. **Validation can never pass for organization relays.** After the
payload arrives, `_validateCredentials` opens a plain `RelaySocket`
without a `Nostr-Federated-Identity` assertion. Organization relays
refuse that upgrade with HTTP 401 until organization sign-in, which a
freshly pairing phone hasn't done.
2. **The failure hangs instead of erroring.** `RelaySocket.connect()`
catches the failed `ready` but keeps `_channel`. The validator's
`finally` then awaits `disconnect()` → `sink.close()` on a channel that
never opened, and that never completes. The phone waits until the
pairing relay's 120 s connection cap closes the socket, and
`_handleDisconnected` reports that as a lost connection.

Standalone repro with `web_socket_channel` 3.0.3 against the real relay:

```
ready failed: ... was not upgraded to websocket, HTTP status code: 401
sink.close() DID NOT COMPLETE within 30s (hang)
```

## Change

- `RelaySocket.connect()` drops a channel whose upgrade failed.
- `disconnect()` waits at most `RelaySocket.closeTimeout` (2 s). An
upgrade that is still pending (connect timeout 10 s) can outlive
pairing's 8 s validation deadline, and its close never completes either.
- `PairingNotifier` skips the pre-sign-in check for
`OrganizationEnvironment.protects` relays. Admission is left to the
saved community's session and the existing organization sign-in banner,
which matches how the hosted branch already defers admission. The
predicate is injectable (`organizationRelay`) for tests. Other relays
are still validated before saving.

Trade-off: an identity that the organization relay would reject is now
saved, and that rejection only surfaces after organization sign-in. The
hosted path has the same property.

## Related issue

No existing GitHub issue covers this failure; searched open issues and
PRs for pairing relay, lost connection and `_validateCredentials`.
Closest:

- block#8043 / block#8060 cover the same `_validateCredentials` path from the
other side: a failed connect currently returns normally. They're
complementary. With block#8060 merged, organization relays would fail pairing
with an explicit 401 instead of hanging, and this PR keeps them out of
that pre-check. Whichever merges second needs a small rebase in
`_validateCredentials`.
- block#3181 is a different failure in the same flow.

## Testing

- New `relay_socket_liveness_test` cases check that `disconnect()`
completes in three situations: after a refused (401) upgrade, after a
timed-out handshake, and while the upgrade is still pending.
- New `pairing_provider_test` case: a malformed key is rejected locally
before anything is saved, an organization relay is saved without the
relay check, and a non-organization relay is still validated and
rejected.
- Each new test fails with its fix removed. The failures were
"disconnect() hung on a channel that never opened", "disconnect() hung
on a pending upgrade", and `validated` being true.
- `just mobile-check` and `just mobile-test` pass: 4229 passed, 40
skipped.
- **Simulator run (iOS 27.0 simulator, iPhone 18 Pro, Block organization
dart-defines) against desktop 0.7.7 on `buzz.block.builderlab.xyz`:**
pairing completed (desktop reported the phone paired; identity
transferred; community saved) instead of hanging until the pairing relay
closed. The app then showed the organization sign-in banner and opened
browser sign-in for block.builderlab.xyz, as expected. Okta in the
simulator requires FastPass, so the final relay connection after sign-in
was not exercised there.
- Human device testing is still pending.

## Follow-up

- Test on a real phone with an organization build. The simulator
couldn't complete Okta FastPass, so the relay connection after
organization sign-in still needs checking.

## Summary

`POST /profiles/search` only matches kind:0 `name` and `display_name`.
In communities that publish NIP-FI verified profiles, a person's surname
or directory username often appears only in their relay-signed
kind:30382, so typeahead cannot find them by it.

- Where the community advertises verified profiles, the search also
matches the `display_name`, `username` and `full_name` tags of each
current kind:30382 head signed by the relay key.
- Verified names need a trailing prefix of at least three characters, as
in NIP-50, so a short prefix doesn't make the relay rank every verified
head. kind:0 keeps one-character typeahead. Lookups from heads to
`events` also match `created_at`, so Postgres prunes to one partition.
- Results are paged by person. Each person returns their current kind:0,
when they have one, then their current kind:30382, when they have one,
whichever matched. A person is ranked by their best match across both
sources, using the existing tiers.
- NIP-11 `federated_identity.public_profile` gains `searchable: true`,
so clients can rely on the response instead of a separate kind:30382
read.
- Migration `0081` adds a GIN expression index over the head's name tags
on `nip_fi_profile_heads` (built-in `jsonb_path_query_first` and
`to_tsvector`, no new functions). The table holds one row per verified
person. Like `0078`, the migration builds the index only while the table
is empty; populated databases prebuild it with `CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY` (`docs/profile-search.md`), and the migration then checks
it is valid and has the expected definition.

Compatibility: the request schema is unchanged. Existing clients that
keep only kind:0 events work as before and also find people who match
only by verified name. Trust stays pinned to the relay `self` key; the
event shape follows NIP-85 user assertions, but discovery is
relay-advertised rather than kind:10040.

## Testing

- `buzz-search` Postgres integration: new
`profile_names_match_verified_names` covers forged-key heads, replaced
heads, other communities, people without kind:0, per-person grouping,
paging, and words split across sources; the existing profile-name tests
pass unchanged. The test fails when the author filter is inverted.
- `buzz-relay` end to end in enforce mode:
`profile_search_matches_verified_names_where_advertised` publishes
through the real writer and finds the person by surname only where
verified profiles are advertised.
- Desired-state and migration index definitions match.
- `profile_names_use_verified_name_index` asserts the search scans the
new index. Migration `0081` checked against an empty table, a rerun, a
populated table without the index (raises), the documented concurrent
prebuild, and an index with a different definition (raises).
- Latency, 50k people each with a kind:0 and a verified head, release
build, local Postgres, best of 5, 30 people per page: 11–22 ms with
verified names versus 1–8 ms kind:0 only. `EXPLAIN` shows a bitmap scan
on the new index.

## Summary

The version line at the bottom of mobile Settings (for example `v0.27.0
(36)`) couldn't be copied, which made it awkward to paste into bug
reports. Tapping it now copies the whole string and shows a "Version
copied" toast, matching the existing "Copy public key" row. It's
keyboard-focusable and has a 48dp tap target. Partial selection isn't
supported; it's whole-string only.

### Related issue

N/A

### Validation

- Added test: tapping the footer, or reaching it with Tab and pressing
Enter, puts `v0.16.0 (432)` on the clipboard and shows the toast. The
test also checks that the tap target is at least 48dp tall.
- `just mobile-check` and `just mobile-test` pass.
- Automated simulator run (debug build, iOS 27): opened Settings, tapped
the version, confirmed via `simctl pbpaste` that the clipboard held the
exact footer text and the toast appeared; then confirmed the neighboring
"Copy public key" row still copies the npub and Settings still closes.
Human testing waived per the mobile testing exception. A full recording
was posted in Buzz instead of here because it shows internal channel
names.

…ng (block#8807)

## Summary

The relay is starting to refuse a new open channel when another channel
in the community already has that name
(block#8782). Mobile handled that refusal
badly in two places:

- **Creating a channel with a taken name** showed raw error text:
`Exception: invalid: an open channel named "Launch" already exists`. The
create sheet now shows `An open channel named "Launch" already exists`
and stays open, so the user can pick another name.
- **Joining a community by invite could fail.** After an invite join,
the app joins two starter channels, `#general` and `#welcome-everyone`,
and creates either one if it can't find it. If an archived channel or a
forum already holds one of those names, the relay now refuses the
create, and the whole join failed. Now the app skips a starter whose
name is held by a channel it can't use, and the join succeeds. If the
holder is a live channel the app didn't see at first, the app joins that
channel.

Screenshots from an Android emulator against a local relay built from
block#8782 are in the Testing section.

## Details

- **Error text.** A new `relayErrorMessage` helper
(`lib/shared/relay/relay_closed_policy.dart`) removes the `Exception: `
wrapper and the relay's machine prefix (`invalid:`, `blocked:`,
`duplicate:` and the other standard prefixes), then capitalizes the
first letter. Only the create sheet uses it. The other error paths are
unchanged.
- **Starter channels** (`ensureStarterChannels` in `lib/app.dart`).
After a taken-name refusal, the app reloads the channel list and looks
for the channel that holds the name:
  - A live open stream with that name: join it.
- An archived channel or a forum: skip that starter. An archived channel
can't be joined, and a forum is the wrong type for a starter.
- No visible holder: fail as before. The setup stays retryable, because
the holder may not be visible yet.
- **Which channel counts as the holder.** Only a channel that can hold
the name under the relay's rule counts: open, not unlisted, a stream or
forum. Channels now carry the relay's "unlisted" flag for this. An
unlisted channel with the same name (for example, an unlisted forum the
user is in) doesn't hold the name, so the app doesn't skip the starter
because of it.
- **A starter that was archived.** Desktop and mobile create each
starter at the same fixed id. When the starter at that id is archived,
the relay refuses a new create there with `invalid: channel is
archived`. The app treats that as an archived starter and skips it,
unless a live channel with the name exists. When the relay answers
`duplicate` and the reload doesn't show the channel, the app reads the
channel at the fixed id and skips the starter only if that channel is
archived.
- If `#welcome-everyone` is skipped, the join opens no particular
channel. Both callers already handle that.

### Related issue

None found. Client side of block#8782.

### Testing

Android emulator, debug build of 778a4ca, local relay built from
block#8782 at 0df245e, fresh database:

**Invite join while an archived `general` holds the name.** The app
skipped `general`, created `#welcome-everyone` at its starter id and
joined it. The archived `general` did not change, and no new `general`
was created.

![Invite join lands on
#welcome-everyone](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/block/buzz/ba7989fc9596b70ce950b391c7f5279d9353abbb/pr-8807--01-invite-skips-archived-general.png)

**Create a channel with a taken name.** `ops` is live. Creating `OPS`
shows the relay's refusal as plain text, and the sheet stays open.

refusal](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/block/buzz/ba7989fc9596b70ce950b391c7f5279d9353abbb/pr-8807--02-create-sheet-taken-name.png)

Automated tests: `invite_join_provider_test.dart` has a table row for
each holder case above (archived, forum, unlisted, appears late,
archived at the fixed id for both relay answers), plus the scope fences.
`channels_page_test.dart` covers the sheet text, and
`relay_closed_policy_test.dart` covers the helper. Each new skip fails
its row when it is removed. `just mobile-check` and `just mobile-test`
pass.

…k#8742)

## Summary

A product fix for the most frequent unfixed desktop E2E flake,
`message-target-highlight.spec.ts:79`. A deep-linked message now holds
its place against bottom settles until the reader scrolls. This is one
of six PRs split from the reviewed `flakey-tests` branch (siblings
below).

- **Runs:** it failed in all 7 main runs whose SHA carries every earlier
flake fix (40969965981, 40970005965, 40970053997, 40980258899,
40980404335, 40980513346, 40983029157). It also failed in 26 jobs since
those fixes landed, on main and on PRs block#8235, block#8239, block#8241, block#8666 and
block#8680. Only the two cases that pick `mounted[2]` fail: "same channel,
row loaded off screen" (15 jobs) and "other channel, row further up" (11
jobs). The target scrolls in and flashes, then the timeline lands on the
newest message. `stillOnScreen` at :179 reads false (twice it was
`flashedOnScreen` at :153).

### Cause

The failure videos (run 40983029157, Smoke shard 6) show that the thread
panel opening is a precondition, not the trigger. A later floor report
moved the target: `TimelineMessageList`'s `onScroll` reported within 32
px of the bottom, during or after the older-page load that only a
`mounted[2]` target sets off. `onVirtualizerAtBottomStateChange(true)`
reset the anchor to at-bottom. Then the split-panel settle, the
viewport-resize settle or the next append settle pinned the timeline to
the floor. Which Virtua layout pass emits the floor report is still
unidentified.

### Change

Accepting a virtual route target sets `targetHoldRef` in
`useAnchoredScroll`. Only the two `targetMessageId` paths set it, via
`holdTarget`. The public `scrollToMessage`, which the oldest-unread pill
and find-in-channel use, doesn't hold, and it replaces any earlier hold.
While the hold is set:

- The split-panel and viewport-resize settles are skipped.
- A floor report still updates `isAtBottom` and the new-message count,
but keeps the message anchor, so live appends don't settle either.
- A commit that changes the newest message sets `isAtBottom` false and
clears `virtualizerAtBottomRef`. It adds the rows after the previous
newest one to the new-message count. So the "Jump to latest" / "N new
messages" pill still appears for rows below the fold (Review-Proven Rule
6). A history page that fills the gap below a cold target raises no
pill, and neither does deleting the newest message.
- Viewport reflow re-centres the target through
`virtualScrollToMessage`. It runs from the resize observer and when the
split panel opens or closes.

The hold is released by reader scroll input: a wheel, a touch drag, a
pointerdown on the scroller itself, or a scroll key. Those listeners
already cancel bottom intent in `useVirtualizedBottomSettle`, and this
PR shares them as `listenForReaderScroll`. Jump to latest, the reader's
own send and a channel change also release it. A release at the floor
restores the at-bottom anchor, so the timeline follows live messages
again. `onTargetReached` does not release the hold.

### Known limits

- Programmatic scrolls (focus moves, `scrollTop` writes) don't release
the hold, but a find or unread-pill jump replaces it. A resize after
such a scroll re-centres the target.
- ChannelPane's composer-height settle still calls `scrollToBottom`
within 32 px of the floor, which releases the hold.
- Live messages that arrive under a hold near the floor aren't followed
until reader input, Jump to latest or the reader's own send. The pill
shows them, with their count.
- Under the hold, only rows after the previous newest message count. A
same-second row that sorts just ahead of it raises no pill until a later
row lands.
- Agent review raised two optional gaps, and scrolling recovers from
both:
- If the previous newest message is deleted and a new row arrives in the
same deferred commit, 0 rows are counted.
- A thread reply sent with "also send to channel" doesn't arm the bottom
intent, so it shows as "1 new message" instead of being followed.

### Related issue

None found.

### Testing

`useAnchoredScroll.lifecycle.test.mjs` replays the CI sequence: accept a
route target, clear it, open the split panel, report the floor, resize
and append a live message. It asserts no bottom settle, a re-centre on
the panel opening and on the resize, and the pill on the append. Further
cases cover:
- each release path;
- a find jump on a held timeline;
- a descendant pointerdown keeping the hold;
- a gap-fill page and deleting the newest message, neither of which
raises the pill.

The split-panel and viewport-resize policy tables each gain a held row.

Mutations were run over the lifecycle file and both policy tables (29
tests, all pass intact). Each of the 20 mutations fails at least one
test:

| Mutation | Tests that fail |
|---|---|
| Hold never set (the old behaviour) | 12 |
| Split-panel settle ignores the hold | 13 |
| Viewport-resize settle ignores the hold | 13 |
| Floor report resets a held anchor | 12 |
| No split-panel re-centre | 12 |
| No viewport-resize re-centre | 12 |
| Reader input doesn't release the hold | 6 |
| Held append raises no pill | 2 |

The commit message lists the other 12, each failing 1 or 2 tests.

`pnpm typecheck` and `pnpm check` pass. All 46 tests in the files that
import the touched modules pass.

Only hosted CI can show whether the spec now holds in Smoke shard 6 and
in Flake Check's repeats, because Playwright was not run locally. It
also has to show that `scroll-history.spec.ts` and the other timeline
specs keep bottom-follow working.

Pushed with `git push --no-verify`, because the pre-push suites fail
when the laptop is under load.

### Readiness and human check

An agent review of the combined `flakey-tests` branch (b432453af) found
no blockers. This changes desktop app behaviour, so it needs a human
in-app check before `buzz-review-completed` is added. Suggested check,
in `just dev` against a channel with a few pages of history:

1. Open a message link (a mention or search hit) to a message several
screens up, once in the same channel and once from another channel. The
message should flash and stay on screen after older history loads,
including when the thread panel opens or closes, or the window is
resized.
2. With the target still held, have someone post in the channel. The
timeline stays put, and the pill reads "1 new message".
3. Wheel-scroll to the bottom, or click Jump to latest. The next message
that arrives is followed.

## Summary

After a pairing QR scan, the app shows connection progress until code
entry or a connection error. A WebSocket handshake that remains pending
stops after ten seconds. Cancel is available until storage starts. It
resets pairing and restores the entry form. Pasted codes remain
available after an error or cancellation. Back navigation stays blocked
during identity transfer and storage. Cancel on Send identity to desktop
returns to Settings, so another attempt starts through the authorization
step.

### Related issue

Related to [block#9001](block#9001), which
covers organization sign-in after identity transfer. This change covers
the earlier connection stage.

### Testing

A simulator build with PR block#9001 completes identity transfer and saves
the community. The community chooser still blocks organization sign-in.
[PR block#9028](block#9028) covers that step.
Physical iPhone testing and successful real-relay checks in light and
dark mode remain pending. On a build with this change, scan a desktop
pairing QR code. Check that progress appears, Cancel returns to the
entry form, and a fresh attempt reaches code entry. Paste a pairing
code, cancel during connection, and check that the form keeps the code.
Test a failed connection and retry. In Settings, open Send identity to
desktop, start a recovery connection, and cancel. Check that Settings
appears and another attempt asks for authorization. Camera recognition
speed and the reported intermittent phone network failure remain
unverified.

…the key (block#9042)

## Summary

Follow-up to block#9028 (merged).

block#9028 closes the community switcher before content loads when
organization sign-in is needed, but it checks the session status once.
When the session is signed in and the relay then refuses the paired key
(`AccountFailure.denied`, which block#9001 now saves on purpose), the Home
banner offers **Retry** and **Use a different account**, yet the
switcher keeps covering it until the 20s "taking longer" timeout.

- `organizationSignInPromptVisible()` in
`shared/hosted/organization_sign_in.dart` is now the single rule for
when the banner has an action. The banner uses it, and so does the
switcher.
- The switcher listens to the sign-in session and relay auth while it
waits for content, and closes as soon as the rule turns true. Listeners
are removed on every exit, including the timeout, and the content wait
stops listening once the prompt wins.
- Relay failures stay scoped to the new community's relay and pubkey, so
a stale failure from the previous community can't close the switcher.
- `checking` no longer closes the switcher early (the banner is hidden
then); a later transition to signed out still does.

### Related issue

Related to block#9001, block#9009 and block#9028. No duplicate PR found.

### Testing

- New widget test: signed in, switch to an organization relay with
content pending, then the relay refuses the key, and the switcher
closes. It fails with block#9028's one-shot check.
- `flutter analyze` is clean. The full mobile suite passes except 10
push and notification tests, which fail the same way on plain `main` on
this Mac (local environment; CI covers them).
- Pushed with `--no-verify` because of those 10 local failures.

## Summary

The mobile create-agent screen opened with model and thinking effort
blank, so the easiest path was picking from the full catalog, expensive
models included. A new agent now starts on the first Sonnet model the
catalog offers, at medium effort when that model supports it. People can
still change either one.

- An agent link that suggests a model still wins when Builderlab offers
that model.
- A setup resumed after a failure keeps the choice it saved.
- If the catalog has no Sonnet model, both start blank like today. If
the Sonnet model has no medium effort, only effort is left blank.

Builderlab doesn't send a default or pricing, so the app matches on
"sonnet" in the model id rather than pinning a version. That keeps
working when the catalog moves to a newer Sonnet.

## Screenshots

Captured from the widget test harness with a catalog listing Opus first,
then Sonnet. The avatar preview is blank because the test doesn't load
network images.

## Testing

- New unit tests cover the default, missing medium effort, no Sonnet,
draft model wins, and a draft model the catalog lacks.
- A new widget test checks the form opens on Sonnet at medium and only
needs a name before Create.
- Full mobile suite passes locally with the CI dart-defines
(`BUZZ_PUSH_GATEWAY_URL`, `BUZZ_AUTH_DOMAINS`) at 256063f.

…ock#9012)

## What

The relay's 1-second read caches (restriction state, tenant host, open
channels) now date each entry from when the read checked out its pool
connection, not from when the cache miss began. Concurrent misses on the
restriction and tenant-host caches now share one database read. The
open-channels cache already did this.

## Why

Each of these caches serves an entry for 1 s after "the read that
produced it began". Today that start time is taken before waiting for a
pool connection. Once pool waits reach about a second (for example, many
clients reconnecting at once), every entry is already expired by the
time it lands. The cache hit rate falls toward zero exactly when the
pool is saturated, so every request does its own read. Those reads queue
for the same connections, which stretches the waits further. Requests
that time out in the pool then fail closed (`internal error checking
restriction state`, `community active check failed; refusing the
socket`), and their clients reconnect and add more load.

In a local synthetic reconnect load test with a 50-connection pool:
- the restriction cache served fewer than one request in five from
cache;
- the tenant-host cache, which has a single key for the whole
deployment, missed more often than it hit;
- the open-channels cache missed hundreds of thousands of times on
expired entries.

## How

- **Stamp at checkout.** `buzz_db::ReadAt<T>` carries a value plus the
instant its connection was checked out. The statement's snapshot is no
older than that instant, so serving the value for 1 s after it keeps the
documented staleness bound, however long the read queued. Three
`*_read_at` methods return it: `moderation_restriction_state_read_at`,
`lookup_community_by_host_read_at` and
`get_listed_open_channel_ids_read_at`. The existing methods now call
these and drop the value's timestamp. Each operation keeps one datastore
span under its existing name, carried by the `*_read_at` method.
- **Share concurrent misses.** `SharedReads<K>` is the per-key gate the
open-channels cache already used, moved into its own module. The
open-channels cache, the restriction cache and the tenant-host cache now
all use it. The first miss reads; the others wait for it, then recheck
the cache. A waiter waits for at most the writer pool's acquire timeout
plus `SHARED_READ_STATEMENT_WAIT` (1 s). That covers the leader's own
wait for a connection, which is what grows in a storm, so waiters keep
sharing its read instead of queueing duplicate reads behind it. A failed
or cancelled leader releases its waiters at once. A leader whose
statement hangs stalls them for at most 1 s past the acquire timeout,
never the statement timeout.

- **Reject hosts no community can have.** `bind_community` rejects a
host longer than `communities.host VARCHAR(255)` can hold
(`buzz_core::tenant::MAX_HOST_LEN`, counted in characters) as unmapped,
next to the empty-host check. An unauthenticated caller's arbitrarily
long host therefore never reaches a resolver, cache, gate or the
database.

No staleness bound changes: every entry is still served for at most 1 s
after its read's snapshot. Invalidation paths are unchanged. A read in
flight at an invalidation can still refill the old row for at most that
bound, as documented today.

## What got simpler

The open-channels gate's hand-rolled `try_lock`/`timeout` block is
replaced by `SharedReads::turn`. One gate implementation now serves
three caches instead of one implementation that only one cache had. The
gate's wait is set once per gate rather than passed at each call site.
Provisioning and host binding share one `MAX_HOST_LEN` instead of a
private constant.

## Tests

- `shared_reads::tests`: one caller reads while the rest wait; a waiter
gives up on a hung read after its bound.
- `concurrent_restriction_and_host_misses_share_the_in_flight_read`:
waiters on both caches use the leader's entry; with an unreachable
database, any waiter that read on its own would fail.
-
`postgres_tests::cache_misses_behind_a_held_pool_share_one_fresh_read`:
with a one-connection pool held for longer than every max age, eight
concurrent misses on each of the three caches cost one database read,
and each entry still lands fresh.
- `tenant::tests::an_overlong_host_fails_closed_before_the_resolver`: a
host over the limit fails as unmapped with no gate entry and no lookup;
a host at the limit, including one in multibyte characters, is still
looked up.
- Mutation-checked: each of the following turns these tests red:
stamping any of the three entries before the pool wait, dropping either
new waiter path, letting waiters give up after the cache's max age,
dropping the host length check, or counting the host length in bytes.

## Summary

This fixes transparent images showing a black background. Image
thumbnails were always JPEG, which can't store transparency, so a
transparent PNG or GIF upload, such as an agent avatar, rendered on
black wherever a client showed its thumbnail.

The relay now writes a lossy WebP thumbnail at `{sha256}.thumb.webp`,
which keeps transparency, alongside the existing `{sha256}.thumb.jpg`:

- **Encoding:** the WebP comes from libwebp through the `webp` crate,
built from vendored C source, so the relay needs no system library. A
GIF uses its first frame.
- **Upload responses:** the upload descriptor's `thumb`, and its
per-tenant rewrite, point to the WebP.
- **JPEG kept:** installed clients derive `.thumb.jpg` themselves, so
the relay keeps writing it until clients move to WebP with a JPEG
fallback. Existing images still have only their JPEG thumbnail.
- **Serving:** `/media/` serves both variants, each with its own content
type. Other `.thumb.*` extensions still return 404.
- **imeta:** a `thumb` may name either variant, and the relay checks
that the named object exists.
- **Storage sweep:** the bucket taxonomy counts both variants as the
image's thumbnail bytes instead of classifying `.thumb.webp` as unknown.

| 320px thumbnail | JPEG | PNG | lossy WebP (q80) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transparent avatar (starter-team `fizz.png`) | 11.3 KB, black
background | 65.1 KB | 13.8 KB |
| Opaque avatar (`sprout-agent.png`) | 23.6 KB | 156.5 KB | 12.3 KB |
| Screenshot (`channel-thread.png`) | 13.4 KB | 62.5 KB | 6.4 KB |

Encoding a WebP thumbnail takes 3 to 20 ms.

### Related issue

Supersedes block#8772, which served a PNG at the `.thumb.jpg` path.

### Testing

Red/green against a local relay on `:3000`, built from the branch under
test, with Postgres, Redis and MinIO from `docker compose`:

```bash
cargo test -p buzz-test-client --test e2e_media test_transparent_png_thumbnail_is_webp_with_alpha -- --ignored
cargo test -p buzz-test-client --test e2e_media_extended test_ws_imeta_webp_thumb -- --ignored
```

- **On `main`:** both tests fail. The descriptor's `thumb` is
`.thumb.jpg`, and the WebSocket send is rejected with `invalid: imeta
thumb must be a local .thumb.jpg path`.
- **On this branch:** both tests pass:
- Uploading a half-transparent PNG returns a `thumb` ending
`.thumb.webp`.
  - HEAD and GET on that URL return `Content-Type: image/webp`.
- The decoded thumbnail keeps alpha 0 on the transparent half and alpha
255 on the opaque half.
  - `.thumb.jpg` still returns `image/jpeg`.
- A kind 9 message whose imeta `thumb` names the `.thumb.webp` is
accepted.

## Screenshots

The starter-team `fizz.png` avatar uploaded to a relay built from this
branch. Both thumbnails are shown as round avatars beside the original
PNG. `.thumb.jpg` fills the transparent area with a solid disc, and
`.thumb.webp` keeps the transparency.

…resence and probes (block#9016)

## Summary

Follow-up to block#9005, addressing the review findings that merged
unaddressed. None of them affect a relay. `buzz-ws-client` gains one
method. Each one skews what the desktop client measures when the relay
is slow, which is the case the load generator exists for.

- **Reads stop at the stop.** A desktop HTTP read (including NIP-11) now
races the run's stop and is abandoned there without being recorded, as
EOSE waits already were. Before, a read that outlived the 15 s shutdown
grace got its client cancelled and failed an otherwise healthy run.
`Fetcher::finish` also keeps the read task's handle until the task ends,
so a client cancelled during the join still aborts the task instead of
detaching it.
- **Root lookups are bounded.** The desktop's seeded-root lookups, for
thread recovery and replies, now run under the desktop's 30 s read
timeout and stop, not reqwest's 60 s. `roots()` takes an optional bound,
and the basic human passes none. If the stop cuts a reply's lookup
short, the reply isn't published. That applies to the basic human too: a
reply whose root lookup finishes after the stop is dropped.
- **An EOSE that arrives in time stays in time.** While a publish waits
for its OK, `NostrWsConnection` buffers every other frame. The session
loop used to judge EOSE deadlines before reading that buffer, and read
one frame per pass. It now handles every frame already in hand (at most
256 per pass) before judging deadlines. Each frame is judged by when it
arrived, not when it is read. `NostrWsConnection` keeps each buffered
frame's arrival time, and the new `next_event_received` returns it. So
an EOSE that arrived after its deadline while an OK wait held it counts
as a timeout, and so does a frame that answers the probe late. Past that
cap, a pass defers due deadlines, for at most one timeout from the first
pass that defers them. While it is deferring, the pass only drains, so
another OK wait can't expire an EOSE that's already in hand, and
sustained traffic can't postpone a missing EOSE forever.
- **Presence and the silence probe.** Both modes now open the app's
live-only `presence` route
(`{"kinds":[20001],"authors":[…],"since":…,"limit":0}`, up to 256
co-members) alongside the profile and membership routes. As in the app,
presence takes no part in establishment: it isn't resumed or carried,
and if it fails it doesn't cut a renewal's carry for the other routes.
After a tick with no frame since the previous one, they send the app's
probe, `REQ probe-N {"kinds":[44100],"#p":[viewer],"limit":0}`, which
shows up as `desktop_probe` and is closed at its EOSE. Only frames
actually received count, including a publish's OK when it arrives before
the probe's deadline. A reaction with no target or a publish whose OK
timed out doesn't count. Expiry is judged after the drain against the
probe still outstanding. If no frame arrives within the EOSE deadline,
the session ends as failed and the client reconnects with backoff.
Before this, desktop runs left out presence fan-out and idle-client
probes, so they understated load.
- **Seed log.** "memberships added (N people)" now reads "memberships
ensured", since a rerun adds nobody.
- **Docs.** `perf/LOADGEN.md` notes that the six-read cap and flat 30 s
timeout are simplifications (the app has neither), and that `legacy` is
a lower bound. The pre-fix app also opened a per-channel route for each
open or non-member channel and re-sent every route each tick, and the
model leaves both out.

Not done: an explicit count of REQs abandoned at a renewal (report
polish; planned cancellations still aren't errors).

### What got simpler

Reads abandoned at the stop now go through one helper, `run::bounded`,
which the desktop reads and the root lookup share. Before, each read had
its own timeout and its own stop check. `global_reqs` returns the routes
the client actually opens, not a fixed pair. The probe and presence
routes add one `Route` variant, one op and about 40 lines of session
code. `Route::establishes` is now the one place that says which routes
take part in establishment, replacing the two `Replay` special cases.
"Heard" used to be inferred by comparing activity schedules before and
after each step. It now comes from frames only, so `publish` reports
whether the relay answered and that comparison is gone.

## Testing

On a Blox workstation, at the tree of this PR's head:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`, `cargo clippy -p buzz-test-client -p
buzz-ws-client -p buzz-cli --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test -p buzz-test-client --lib` (parallel) and `cargo test -p
buzz-ws-client`, plus the `loadgen::desktop` tests five more times

New tests, each confirmed to fail when its fix is reverted:
- `a_read_in_flight_at_the_stop_is_abandoned_not_waited_for`: an 8 s
roster read at the stop. Without the stop race the client outlives
`drive`'s 5 s stop limit.
- `a_cancelled_finish_still_aborts_the_read_task`: aborting `finish()`
mid-join ends the read task. With the old `take()`, the task is
detached.
- `an_eose_in_time_is_not_expired_behind_a_slow_ok`: EOSEs at 1.2 s,
publish OKs at 3.5 s, deadline 2.5 s. Without the drain, all four routes
time out.
- `a_silent_tick_probes_and_an_unanswered_probe_reconnects`: the first
connection never answers its probe, so the client reconnects and its
next probe is answered.
- `a_probe_answered_behind_a_late_ok_does_not_reconnect`: the probe's
EOSE arrives in time, but it sits behind a heartbeat whose OK comes
after the probe's deadline. With expiry judged against a deadline
captured before the drain, the session fails and reconnects.
- `a_publish_ok_in_time_answers_an_outstanding_probe`: no probe EOSE
ever arrives, and heartbeat OKs answer each probe.
- `a_reaction_with_no_target_is_not_heard_as_a_frame`: targetless
reactions several times a second still leave the tick silent, so it
probes.
- `a_reply_whose_root_lookup_the_stop_cut_short_is_not_published`: the
stop cuts an 8 s root search short, and OKs are withheld. No `kind 9`
EVENT reaches the relay, and the client returns promptly.
- `a_backlog_defers_deadlines_for_at_most_one_timeout`: the deferral
bound and its reset.
- `a_long_backlog_behind_slow_oks_keeps_its_timely_eoses`: 600 replayed
events per REQ behind 3.5 s OKs, with a 1.5 s deadline and heartbeats
every second. The test fails if the deferral is timed from the REQ
instead of from the first pass that defers, and it fails if a second OK
wait can run between the deferred passes.
- `presence_is_a_live_only_global_only_while_someone_is_watched`: the
route's order and its live-only filter in both modes, and that it's
absent with nobody watched.
- `a_late_eose_is_not_answered_behind_a_slow_ok`: the timely case above
with EOSEs at 3 s instead, so all four routes time out, not succeed.
- `a_probe_answered_late_behind_a_slow_ok_reconnects`: a probe's EOSE
arrives 0.2 s after its deadline while a heartbeat waits for its OK, so
the session fails and reconnects. The test also checks that a heartbeat
followed that probe on the same connection, so the test can't pass on a
probe that simply went unanswered.
- `an_answered_probe_is_closed_at_its_eose`: `CLOSE probe-1` goes out
before any next probe.
- `routes_establish_once_and_a_renewal_holds_them_until_a_cut` gains a
case: a renewal where presence times out keeps the other routes carried
and establishes nothing.

Each new test fails when its fix is reverted (seven mutants in the first
round and six in the review round, run on Blox). The test harness now
has a tick override that can go below the scenario's 1 s floor, and
records EVENT frames by kind. The fake relay sends a REQ's replayed
events after the REQ's delay, not before, and the fake API's slow reads
sleep in `block_in_place`. No existing test changed behavior.

Existing expectations moved for the presence route (one more live EOSE
per client) and for reads now abandoned at the stop.

…k#9052)

## Summary

Two gaps in relay telemetry: WebSocket reads (`REQ`, NIP-AR sync,
`COUNT`) have no latency or outcome metric, and
`buzz_event_processing_seconds` only measures stored EVENTs that
succeed.

**What this does**
- **`buzz_ws_read_seconds{type, outcome, reason}`** (new histogram).
It's recorded from `access::ReadLog::drop`. Every WebSocket read already
finishes through that one seam, whether it ends `served`, `denied`,
`error`, or `aborted` (future dropped mid-read), so this adds no new
exit paths and changes no handler. Duration runs from the moment the
handler takes the frame until `EOSE` is queued (`REQ`), the initial set
ends (sync), or the total is sent (`COUNT`). `reason` is the existing
fixed denial/error code (`query_timed_out`, `database_error`,
`not_channel_member`, …), or `none`. The histogram's `_count` doubles as
the outcome counter, so one metric gives both read latency and read
failure rate.
- It's recorded *before* the refusal budget check, because the budget
only exists to suppress log lines. When `refused_read` is over budget,
it records the sample without building the log line, so its cost under a
refusal flood stays the same.
- **`buzz_event_processing_seconds{outcome}`**. Before this change it
was recorded only when `ingest_event` returned `Ok`. A store that was
slow *and failing* (statement timeouts, pool exhaustion) produced no
samples, so latency looked better while the store was degrading. It's
now recorded on every persistent-ingest outcome: `accepted`,
`not_accepted` (for example a duplicate), `invalid`, `auth`, `error`.
Queries that sum across all outcomes still work.

**Cardinality.** Every label value is a `&'static str` from a
code-defined set: 3 types × 4 outcomes, with about 25 reasons that only
appear alongside `denied`/`error`. On purpose, there's no `kind` label:
`bounded_kind_label` still admits around 200 values, which is too many
to cross with histogram buckets.

**What got simpler:** `ReadOutcome::parts()` replaces the inline
outcome→label match in `Drop`, so the log line and the metric share one
mapping. There's no new instrumentation seam: the read metric reuses the
access log's lifecycle.

### Related issue

None found. This came out of a monitoring-gap review: without these
signals, alerts can't catch a slow or failing WebSocket read path, or a
failing EVENT store.

### Testing

-
`access::tests::every_read_is_measured_even_when_its_line_is_suppressed`
(unit). It drives the real `ReadLog` constructors and `Drop`: 20
admission refusals against a 16-line budget, a handler denial past the
budget, a `COUNT` error, a served sync and an aborted `REQ`. It asserts
the exact `(type, outcome, reason, samples)` rows. Two mutants each fail
it: removing the over-budget branch in `refused_read`, and moving the
measurement after the budget check in `Drop`.
-
`handlers::event::tests::postgres_tests::event_processing_is_timed_for_accepted_and_refused_ingest`
(Postgres lane). It sends one accepted text note, then a refused one
from a cached-ban sender, through `handle_event`, and asserts one sample
each under `accepted` and `auth` (a ban maps to the `auth` class).
Removing the `Err`-arm measurement fails it.
- Blox gate at `b314df43f2` (tree `4ca9ebc1`): `cargo fmt --check`
clean. The new Postgres test passes, and removing the `Err`-arm
measurement fails it. buzz-relay unit lane (`cargo nextest run -p
buzz-relay --lib --bins`): 1708/1708 passed.
- At `539796bd51` (the same code; only the second commit's test
assertion differs): workspace clippy (`--all-targets -D warnings`)
passed. The new unit test passed, and each of its two mutants failed it.
buzz-relay Postgres lane: 604/605 passed. The one failure was this
test's old `invalid` expectation, which `b314df43f2` corrects.
- CI at `b314df43f2`: both new tests appear in the CI logs as passing
(Rust / Unit Tests, PostgreSQL Domain / PostgreSQL Tests).

Bring main up to the tip of block/buzz (376 upstream commits since the
desktop-v0.5.28 sync). Merged with a merge commit so upstream SHAs stay
ancestors of main and the next sync stays clean.

Conflict resolutions:

- Relay: union RESULT_GATED_KINDS (upstream membership notices + our
  sandbox session control) and carry the comments through req/event/filter.
  Archived-channel gate keeps upstream's self-departure and edit-metadata
  exemptions plus our disabled agent-grant exemption. Keep both new
  handler modules (agent_grant, artifact_sync).
- HTTP typing indicators: take upstream's publish_http_typing (size cap,
  cached serving fence, shared channel-ephemeral path), which supersedes
  our #76 version; keep our bridge regression test.
- buzz-acp: keep our remote-workspace CLI args with upstream's inactivity
  doc; pass the new last_activity argument in our test.
- Test flake fixes from our #31/#33 that upstream re-solved (buzz-db
  scratch DBs, nextest cluster-global group, steer run-id test): take
  upstream.
- deny.toml: take upstream advisories, drop our duplicate 0381 entry, merge
  the webpki-roots and ringbuf bans into one deny list.
- Desktop: take upstream's audio move to buzz-audio-client, zip error
  text, and its autocomplete race fix (block#8680), which supersedes our #27;
  drop our now-unused e2e helpers and specs from #24/#27. Keep our
  deletion of managed_agents/backend_tests.rs (moved to
  crates/buzz-remote-sessions in #45). Keep our updater git pin.
- Mobile: keep remote agent launch status and launch callbacks on top of
  upstream's composer/me-sender refactors.
- Lockfiles regenerated from upstream's, adding only fork crates.
- Follow-up API changes: build_create_channel gained `unlisted`; the
  accessible-channels cache is seeded through seed_accessible_channels.

Apply the 16 upstream commits since v0.2.0 (033bf9e) with
scripts/sync-buzz-gpui.sh:

- Unfurl web links under messages, with hover cards, images scaled to
  their drawn size, and previews cached on disk between launches.
- Show the tray dot for any unread message.
- Show @ choices before the people search returns; keep visible
  profiles when channel access is lost; draw data: URL avatars inline.
- Let Mission Control delete stuck agents.
- Fixes: theme long inline code spans and code in link labels in dark
  mode, load older thread replies after the scroll ends, focus a joined
  thread's composer without a panic, share one memory read across turns.

Ben's master already carries the fixes we made in #91 and #94 in his own
form, so the five conflicting hunks (inline-code highlight style in
markdown, memory, and update notes; the deferred load_older comment; a
codex test comment) take his version.

AgentService::run_state now takes the App context; pass it from the
Voltage remote-migration step.

Where the line count comes from (+369,591 / −49,027, 1,882 files)

Almost all of it is the 376 upstream block/buzz commits that this merge brings in. The lockfiles are a rounding error.

Takeaways:

  • About 120k lines (~29%) are third-party C code and test vectors: upstream vendored libsecp256k1 twice under mobile/. Reviewers can skip mobile/ios/BuzzPushKit/Sources/CSecp256k1/vendor/ and mobile/packages/buzz_secp256k1/third_party/.
  • Everything else outside apps/buzz-gpui is upstream code as it exists on block/buzz main. Review effort belongs on the conflict resolutions in the merge commit (4a42132; files and choices are listed in the PR description) and on the GPUI sync commit (bcd317a).
  • To review only the conflict resolutions, run git show --remerge-diff 4a421321c. It shows how the merge result differs from git's automatic merge, which leaves just the hand-resolved hunks.

Reviewer guide: what actually needs review

The line count is huge (+369k / −49k), but nearly all of it is code already reviewed and merged upstream in block/buzz (376 commits). There's no need to re-review it here. About 120k of those lines are a vendored C crypto library (libsecp256k1), included twice under mobile/. See the size breakdown above.

What this PR adds on top of upstream is small:

  • The merge conflict resolutions: 38 files. View them with git show --remerge-diff 4a421321c.
  • Ben's GPUI sync: commit bcd317aab, about 1,700 lines.

Most of the conflict lines are deletions of our own duplicate fixes, which upstream had already made. Only about 40 lines combine our code with upstream's.

1. Already fixed upstream, so our version was dropped (no review needed)

Upstream solved the same problems, so these resolutions take upstream's code and remove ours.

What Our PR it replaces Lines
Flaky Postgres and nextest tests (buzz-db ×4, .config/nextest.toml) #31 ~200
Flaky steer run-id test (fake_llm.rs) #33 26
HTTP typing indicators (bridge.rs, most of event.rs). Upstream's version adds a size cap and the cached serving fence #76 ~120
Desktop autocomplete Enter race (5 files, including our jsdom test). Upstream block#8680 fixes it more broadly #27 ~140
Desktop e2e flake fixes (4 specs, e2eBridge.ts) #24 ~130
zip error text, the audio crate move, a signed_event_relay comment #25 / – ~20
backend_tests.rs — 598

backend_tests.rs is ours, not a duplicate fix. Upstream edited this file, but our #45 already moved its tests into crates/buzz-remote-sessions, so it stays deleted.

2. Our code combined with upstream's (worth a look, ~40 lines)

  • buzz-core/src/kind.rs, buzz-relay/src/handlers/req.rs, event.rs, buzz-core/src/filter.rs: the list of kinds only their p-tagged recipient may read (RESULT_GATED_KINDS). It now holds upstream's membership notices (44100/44101) and our KIND_SANDBOX_SESSION_CONTROL. The rest is comments.
  • buzz-relay/src/handlers/ingest.rs: one condition. The archived-channel gate keeps upstream's self-departure and edit-metadata exemptions and our disabled-agent-grant exemption.
  • buzz-relay/src/handlers/mod.rs: keeps both new modules (agent_grant, artifact_sync).
  • buzz-acp/src/config.rs: doc comment only. Our remote-workspace CLI args are unchanged.
  • deny.toml: our webpki-roots ban and upstream's ringbuf ban merged into one deny list. Our duplicate RUSTSEC-2026-0381 entry is removed.
  • Mobile app.dart, channel_detail_page.dart, thread_detail_page.dart, send_message_provider.dart: our remote-agent launch status and launch callbacks re-added on top of upstream's refactors, about 4 lines each.

3. Updates for upstream API changes (5 lines)

  • build_create_channel gained an unlisted argument; passed false in 3 buzz-sandbox-reaper tests.
  • handle_prompt_result gained a last_activity argument; passed it in 1 buzz-acp test.
  • A req.rs test now seeds the accessible-channels cache through upstream's new seed_accessible_channels helper.

4. Lockfiles

Both Cargo lockfiles were regenerated from upstream's versions. The only additions are our fork-only crates. Desktop keeps our tauri-plugin-updater git pin.

GPUI sync (bcd317aab)

Ben's 16 commits applied with scripts/sync-buzz-gpui.sh. Five hunks conflicted, all where Ben's master already had his own version of our #91 and #94 fixes; those take Ben's version. One Voltage-only line changed: the remote-migration step now passes cx to run_state.

In short: review groups 2 and 3 and the GPUI commit. Approve group 1 and the rest of the diff on "already merged upstream".

@tee8z tee8z self-assigned this Nov 4, 2026
…sh loadgen to the fork

Three follow-ups the merge's CI found:

- desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.lock: regenerating from upstream's lock rolled
  h2, negentropy, rtrb and ppmd-rust back below the versions our #105
  pinned for RUSTSEC-2026-0258, -0365 and -0274. Restore them with
  `cargo update --precise`. All three cargo-deny policies pass.
- ForumComposer.tsx: still passed isChannelAutocompleteOpen, which the
  merge removed with the rest of #27 in favor of upstream's block#8680. Take
  upstream's file. `tsc --noEmit` passes.
- loadgen-image.yml (new upstream): publish to the running repository's
  GHCR namespace, overridable with GHCR_LOADGEN_IMAGE, as #24 did for
  the other image workflows. The fork cannot write ghcr.io/block.
