feat(android): no text messages backup, and one build again

2026-10-15T13:09:58Z

READ_SMS sits behind restricted settings outside a store and Play keeps it for the default SMS application: not worth a second build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

refactor(chat): no thread_id — chat has no threads

2026-10-15T10:57:51Z

Nothing ever set it (the page and the CLI sent null) and nothing read it (the node's get_thread had no caller). It is no longer sent by the page or the CLI, in clear or in the sealed payload, nor relayed or served by the node; get_thread and its index are gone, and the protocol and design docs no longer name it. The node still accepts a chat_msg carrying one, from the desktop apps and CLIs already installed, and drops it. The column stays, empty, in chat.db: a node downgraded to an older version names it in every query. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

test(hub): pin the Android Sync probe to English

2026-10-13T13:39:49Z

The probe followed the browser's language, so its assertions on English labels failed on a machine set to French. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix: keep the photo lightbox's close button on a phone screen

2026-10-12T10:57:49Z

The bar was 457 px wide and pushed the close button to 397..437 px, off a 360 px phone. Delete leaves the lightbox (it stays on the tile's menu: right-click, or press and hold), and below 768 px the bar drops the file name, the zoom label and 100%. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat: keep the sidebar for groups; search in the nav, the rest in the user menu

2026-10-11T23:27:00Z

Search is an icon in the nav, left of the tray button and the bell, and marks itself current on its page. Administration, Node, Create group and Android Sync moved to the user menu, between Settings and the theme, each under the condition it had in the sidebar. The sidebar keeps Public groups and the groups. On a phone, a tablet or the Android application the menu trigger is the avatar alone (max-width 768px or a coarse pointer); the name is the dropdown's first line, one line with an ellipsis. Measured: a 20-character handle put the trigger 159 px off a 320 px screen with search and transfers in the nav, and a 64-character one pushed the dropdown 122 px off the left. Creating a group is a desktop-application feature by design: a hand-typed #/create-group no longer opens the form in a browser, and QUICKSTART step 6 now says to use the desktop application instead of the browser. test_layout_responsive read only the first 768px media block; it reads them all now.

feat: spread a large download over eight connections

2026-10-11T14:52:48Z

One WebRTC connection carries 5 to 6 MB/s whatever the line can do. A leased download of 64 MB or more now opens seven more to its node, and a lease serves the other connections of its device in its group. Measured through the whole stack: 5 MB/s before, 24 after. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(android): back up WhatsApp's own chat backups, and its media if asked

2026-10-10T14:29:20Z

A WhatsApp section takes WhatsApp's folder through the picker, sends its encrypted Databases and Backups (not the dated copies of earlier weeks) into /-whatsapp, and names the restore set in the manifest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(android): back up the files of folders the person chooses

2026-10-10T13:50:39Z

A Files section takes folders through the system picker (no storage permission), refuses DCIM, Pictures and Movies, skips what the photo backup sends, and runs on the photo backup's own runner into /-drive. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(photos): show a phone's clips in their albums

2026-10-10T13:26:45Z

Videos in a photo folder are thumbnailed by the node, counted and marked in the album, and played in the group's video player from the lightbox; the slideshow passes them by. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(android): back the calendars up as an iCalendar file

2026-10-10T12:52:57Z

A Calendar section sends every calendar the person can edit, as a dated .ics, into /-calendar once a day when it changed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
