+"""
+A group's chat: reading its history, and posting (docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §4.5).
+
+Every message is sealed under the group's current chat epoch key, through a
+subkey derived for the sending device, and signed by that device's key on the
+node — `meshbay_common.chatbox`, the same construction the application uses
+(`crypto.js` `sealChat`, held to it by the parity tests). The node relays and
+stores ciphertext; it reads nothing.
+
+Reading is done the way the application reads: authorship first — the
+signature is over the ciphertext, so a message that does not verify is never
+shown as written by anyone — then the epoch key, then the content. A message
+that does not open is kept and marked, never dropped: a gap the reader can see
+is honest, a conversation quietly missing a message is not.
+
+Not done here, and done by the application: checking that the signing device
+is one the group's roster evidences for the account the node names (Tier 2,
+design §3.3). The name shown is the one sealed in the message by its sender.
