`senderkeys.py` and its 13 tests implemented Signal-style sender keys, and
production has never called them: chat is a key per group, per epoch, per
device, derived by name. The reasoning that ruled the ratchet out stays where it
belongs — in `chatbox.py`, at the top of the module that replaced it — because
the argument is the useful part, and it now stands on its own instead of
pointing at a file to compare against.
Kept code that nothing calls is worse than absent code: it reads as an
alternative somebody may reach for, and it has to be maintained past every
refactor to stay compiling, which is maintenance spent on a decision already
made.
The three comments naming `GroupSenderKeyStore` are rewritten to say the thing
they were illustrating.

Chat messages are sealed with AES-256-GCM under a key derived per group, per
epoch, per *device*, and signed over the ciphertext with the device key the
node pinned. The node relays and archives; it cannot read a message.
There is no switch. MNP goes to 2.0 and MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED moves with it, so a
1.x peer is refused at the handshake with `version_too_old` rather than
admitted and then unable to speak. An opt-in flag was designed and rejected:
every node is a test node, so it would have bought nothing and left a plaintext
branch reachable — C6's lesson one feature later. A test reads the source and
refuses any code that consults a `chat_encrypted` setting.
Not Sender Keys, and `senderkeys.py` is now documented as unused. With
distribution under the group key and a node that serves history to devices
which were not present, the node must retain each chain's earliest key, and a
chain key at iteration i yields every message key from i on by pure HKDF —
forward secrecy is zero either way. What the ratchet was left buying was
stateful client code with silent failure modes, three of them reproduced: any
member could sign as any other, a second device dropped the first's chain, and
the skipped-key cache grew without bound. The reasoning is in
docs/chat-sender-keys.md, which is the specification and the decision record.
Epochs, not rotation: the epoch key is wrapped under the group key at delivery
and never stored under it, so `gek_rotate` is a re-wrap. A group-key-derived
archive key would have made every message ever sent unreadable on the first
`member unpin`, which is the documented step after removing a member. A new
epoch opens on member revoke/unpin, device revoke and `gek_rotate`; old epochs
are kept and still delivered, so history stays readable to everyone who could
already read it, and nothing anywhere deletes one.
Three prerequisites this needed, each a live defect on its own:
* The peer registry was keyed by user_id, so one account's second device
evicted the first and the broadcast skipped recipients by account — a
person's phone never saw what they typed on their laptop.
* The handshake authenticated an account, never a device. `device_hello`
(additive, signed, refused unless the key is a live device of this account in
the node's own roster) is what lets the node refuse a member claiming
somebody else's key.
* `_admin_exec_file_delete` authorized against the exact uploading key, so
device linking had already broken deleting your own file from your other
device. It now authorizes against any non-revoked device of `uploader_id`.
Found by driving the real panel over the real transport, not by reading source:
`chat_keys_resp` was routed by arrival order and handed to an unanswered
`media_meta_req` — the original frozen-tab defect in a message type that did
not exist when that probe was written. And `_asText` had been deleted with an
unrelated helper beside it; its only caller sits inside a promise the panel
catches, so every conversation rendered empty with nothing in the console.
Existing node data is migrated by QE/migration/migrate_chat_encryption.py
(not versioned, per the QE rule), run with the node stopped.

Implements all 8 milestones (7.0-7.7):
- 7.0: JWT carries `groups` claim; node verifies group membership at
MNP handshake (QUIC + TCP+TLS). Resolves security review C2.
- 7.1: QUIC 0-RTT session resumption via stored session tickets
(17-21ms reconnect vs 47ms cold).
- 7.2: Hub→node WebSocket signaling for NAT punch coordination
(`client_incoming`/`punch_ready`) + jti denylist push. Denylist
class blocks revoked users/jtis at handshake.
- 7.3: Multi-group daemon — one QUIC port serves N groups with
per-group GEK, shared_root, and index routing.
- 7.4: HLS streaming via QUIC (STREAM_SEGMENT message type, ffmpeg
segment extraction).
- 7.5: Sender Keys protocol for group chat (Signal Groups approach).
Each member has own sending chain key, HKDF chain ratchet, AES-256-GCM
encryption, Ed25519 signing. Resolves security review C1.
- 7.6: Chat store (SQLite via aiosqlite), CHAT_MESSAGE MNP wire type
with peer broadcast, web UI with WebSocket push.
- 7.7: Argon2id calibration CLI.
First security review included (first-review.md). 109 tests, demo-v3
validated against meshbay.org production hub.
