* Add BitChatBrandButton and BitChatIcon
Add a dedicated brand button component and custom vector icon to the UI library. Refactor the chat header to use this component, replacing the previous modifier-based multi-click implementation.
* **BitChatBrandButton**: A new Composable that encapsulates single and triple click detection logic using coroutine delays and tap counting.
* **BitChatIcon**: A custom pixel-style `ImageVector` representing the brand.
* **ChatHeader**: Updated to use the new brand button and included a visual separator (`/`) in the layout.
* **ModifierExt.kt**: Removed the `singleOrTripleClickable` extension as its functionality is now handled internally by the brand button component.
* ui: refactor text messages to two-row layout
Refactor the message list items to use a two-row layout for standard text messages, while preserving the legacy compact format for system messages.
* **UI Formatting**: Added `formatTextMessageSender`, `formatTextMessageMetadata`, and `formatTextMessageBody` in `ChatUIUtils.kt` to separate the rendering of sender info, timestamps/PoW, and message content.
* **Layout Change**: Replaced the single-block `Text` component with a `Column` containing a `Row` (Sender + Metadata) and a message body `Text` block for standard messages.
* **Interaction**: Updated `pointerInput` and `detectTapGestures` to handle nickname clicks in the header row and geohash/URL clicks within the message body row.
* **Styling**: Refined `appendIOSFormattedContent` to support a `contentColor` parameter and applied specific font weights and colors (e.g., orange for self-messages) to match the platform's design language.
* **System Messages**: Explicitly kept messages where `sender == "system"` on the original compact layout.
* refactor(ui): extract annotated text pointer handling
* fix(ui): address chat redesign review feedback
* fix(ui): align PoW animation with text layout
* refactor(ui): extract message interaction helpers

* chore(deps): upgrade to AGP 9.3.1, Gradle 9.6.1, Kotlin 2.4.10, SDK 37
Bring the toolchain and every dependency to latest stable. No app source
changes were required.
Toolchain:
- AGP 8.10.1 -> 9.3.1, Gradle 8.13 -> 9.6.1, Kotlin 2.2.0 -> 2.4.10
- compileSdk 35 -> 37, targetSdk 35 -> 37 (Android 17, stable)
- Java 8 -> 11
AGP 9 migration (built-in Kotlin):
- Drop org.jetbrains.kotlin.android; AGP 9 provides Kotlin natively and the
plugin is incompatible with the new DSL
- Migrate kotlinOptions.jvmTarget to kotlin.compilerOptions (the String
setter is a hard error in Kotlin 2.4)
- Drop android.enableJetifier (deprecated, removed in AGP 10, no support
library deps remain)
Libraries:
- Compose BOM 2025.06.01 -> 2026.06.01, activity-compose 1.10.1 -> 1.13.0
- core-ktx 1.16.0 -> 1.19.0, lifecycle 2.9.1 -> 2.11.0 (unified with
lifecycle-process, which had drifted to 2.8.7)
- okhttp 4.12.0 -> 5.4.0, coroutines 1.10.2 -> 1.11.0, gson 2.13.1 -> 2.14.0
- BouncyCastle 1.70 -> 1.85, switching bcprov-jdk15on -> bcprov-jdk18on
(jdk15on is abandoned; same org.bouncycastle packages)
- Tink 1.10.0 -> 1.23.0, CameraX 1.5.2 -> 1.6.1, gms-location 21.3.0 -> 21.4.0
- security-crypto 1.1.0-beta01 -> 1.1.0, navigation-compose 2.9.1 -> 2.9.8
- exifinterface 1.3.7 -> 1.4.2, moved from a hardcoded coordinate into the
version catalog
- Tests: espresso 3.6.1 -> 3.7.0, test-ext 1.2.1 -> 1.3.0, mockito-kotlin
4.1.0 -> 6.3.0; mockito-inline (deprecated) -> mockito-core 5.23.0;
coroutines-test 1.6 -> 1.11.0, now sharing the coroutines version ref
instead of drifting
Robolectric stays pinned at 4.15: 4.16+ breaks EncryptionServiceTest with
"AndroidKeyStore not found". Bisected away from security-crypto and shown not
to be SDK-level related. Unpinning needs an EncryptionService refactor, which
is deliberately left to a follow-up PR.
targetSdk behaviour changes for API 36 and 37 were audited against the source:
edge-to-edge and predictive back are already handled, ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK is
not needed (loopback only, for Arti's SOCKS proxy), the reflection in
ChatViewModel touches instance rather than static final fields, and there is
no RFCOMM or scheduleAtFixedRate usage.
Verified: compileDebugKotlin, testDebugUnitTest (96 tests, 0 failures),
bundleRelease with R8, gradlew help, and build --dry-run. The 6 R8 "cannot
parse kotlin metadata" warnings present under AGP 8.13.2 are gone under 9.3.1.
Not verified on hardware. BLE mesh, foreground services, Nostr relay
websockets, Tor, and the Noise handshake still need a device smoke test.

* fix: declare ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK for Wi-Fi Aware on Android 17
Android 17 (API 37) makes local network protection mandatory for apps
targeting it. WifiAwareMeshService reaches peers over link-local IPv6 TCP
sockets (connectAwareClientSocket), which may be gated by the new
ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK runtime permission once targetSdk is raised to 37.
The official local network permission documentation frames the feature as
LAN access and does not explicitly state whether Wi-Fi Aware peer-to-peer
networks are in scope, so this is defensive rather than confirmed-necessary.
The sockets are bound to a dedicated Aware Network obtained via
requestNetwork, not the user's subnet.
Declaring it costs nothing: ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK shares the NEARBY_DEVICES
group with NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES, so users who have already granted the latter
are not prompted again. The runtime request is gated on SDK_INT >= 37 so
older devices are unaffected.
Raised by automated review on #750.
Verified: compileDebugKotlin, testDebugUnitTest (124 tests, 0 failures),
bundleRelease, and ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK present in the merged manifest.
Not verified on an Android 17 device.

* docs: correct ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK permission-group claim
Device testing on Android 17 (API 37) disproved the earlier claim that
ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK is effectively free because it shares the NEARBY_DEVICES
group with NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES.
Granting NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES alone leaves ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK denied:
pm grant ... NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES
-> NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES: granted=true
-> ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK: granted=false
The two are tracked and granted independently, so ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK has to
be requested explicitly. That is exactly what the wifiAwarePermissions() list
already does, so no behavioural change is needed — only the comments were
wrong. Whether the runtime dialog bundles the two into a single prompt remains
unverified, since enabling Wi-Fi Aware from Debug Settings after onboarding
never triggers a permission request at all (pre-existing, unrelated to this
branch).
Comment-only change.

* fix: request Wi-Fi Aware permissions when enabling it from Debug Settings
Enabling Wi-Fi Aware from the Debug Settings sheet never requested the
permissions it needs. The permission flow is reachable only through
PermissionManager.getRequiredPermissions(), which gates the Wi-Fi Aware entries
behind shouldRequireWifiAwarePermission() — and that returns false unless the
debug toggle is already on. Since the toggle defaults to off, onboarding never
asks, and flipping it later starts WifiAwareController directly, which only
checks the permission and bails.
The result was a silent dead end: Wi-Fi Aware could never start, and the
controller logged "Missing NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES permission" on a 5s retry loop
indefinitely. Reproduced on a Pixel 9a (Android 17) and a Samsung SM-A366E
(Android 16); both needed adb grants to get the transport running at all.
The toggle and the Start chip now request the permissions first and only enable
the transport once NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES is granted. ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK is
treated as best-effort since it does not exist below API 37 — confirmed by
`pm grant` rejecting it as an unknown permission on the Android 16 device. The
list comes from PermissionManager.wifiAwarePermissions() so the API 37 gate has
a single definition.
Also corrects the permission-group comments now that both levels are verified
on Android 17: grants are tracked independently (granting NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES
alone leaves ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK denied), but the two share the NEARBY_DEVICES
group so requesting them together produces a single "Nearby devices" prompt.
Verified on device: after a clean uninstall/reinstall, toggling Wi-Fi Aware
produced one prompt and left both permissions granted with the USER_SET flag.
Addresses the second automated review finding on #750.
Verified: compileDebugKotlin, testDebugUnitTest (124 tests, 0 failures).

* fix: version-gate Wi-Fi Aware permissions, check live grant state
Two issues from automated review of ee1ee3ad.
wifiAwarePermissions() returned NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES unconditionally, but that
permission only exists from API 33 while minSdk is 26 and Wi-Fi Aware is
available from API 26. On an API 26-32 device the new enable path would request
an unknown permission, receive a denial, and never enable a transport that
needs no runtime permission there at all — a regression introduced by the
previous commit. Both entries are now version-gated.
The result callback also inferred the Nearby grant from the result map, which
omits permissions that were already held and so filtered out before launching.
It now reads the live permission state instead.
A denied ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK still does not block enabling: the controller
starts fine without it (verified on Android 17), and its necessity for
link-local sockets remains unproven, so a denial should not disable a transport
that otherwise works.
Also trims the comments added in the last two commits down to the density of
the surrounding code.
Verified: compileDebugKotlin, testDebugUnitTest (124 tests, 0 failures).

- Keep max lastSeen per user so relay's newest-first delivery doesn't
overwrite a fresh timestamp with a stale one
- Serialize event processing on Main dispatcher to eliminate
ConcurrentModificationException on geohashParticipants maps
- Immediately refresh people list on channel switch so sampling data
is reflected before the first relay response arrives
This change prevents the app's content from being visible in the recents screen on Android 13 (Tiramisu) and newer devices.
It achieves this by calling `setRecentsScreenshotEnabled(false)` in the `onCreate` method of `MainActivity` after checking the device's SDK version. This enhances user privacy by hiding potentially sensitive information from the system's app overview.
When a URL contains a # fragment (e.g. https://example.com/page#section),
the hashtag regex matches the fragment as a hashtag. The overlap removal
logic already removes hashtags overlapping geohashes, and geohashes
overlapping URLs, but did not remove hashtags overlapping URLs. Add the
missing overlapsUrl check to the hashtag condition.
* Pause Nostr geohash firehose in background to cut mobile data
The Bluetooth mesh uses no mobile data, but the Nostr relay layer ran
unbounded in the background: the live geohash channel subscription kept
streaming across 5 relays, the presence heartbeat broadcast every ~60s,
and a participant-refresh timer polled every 30s. Combined with
reconnect/re-subscribe replay on public relays, this could burn gigabytes
while idle.
GeohashViewModel now tears down the high-volume subscriptions when the app
is backgrounded (onStop) and restores them on foreground (onStart):
- drop the live channel message stream (currentGeohashSubId)
- drop sampling subscriptions
- cancel the presence heartbeat and participant-refresh timer
Gift-wrap DM subscriptions are intentionally kept alive in the background
since they are filtered to our pubkey (lightweight) so DMs still arrive.
The selected channel is tracked in activeChannelGeohash so the stream can
be rebuilt on foreground without losing the user's selection. The channel
subscription logic is extracted into subscribeChannelStream() /
subscribeChannelDM() helpers.

* fix: FragmentManager.handleFragment() can be entered concurrently (e.g., fragments for the same fragmentID arriving from multiple peers/relays). In order for this to happen multiple devices would be needed to connect to the mesh. even with a per-fragmentID byte cap, an attacker could open many fragment IDs at once and force the device to buffer lots of fragment data overall (risking memory pressure/OOM). In this fix we made fragments atomic and thread safe. When a fragment index is retransmitted, we compute the size delta (new - old) so duplicates don’t inflate counters and can’t be used to bypass limits. Under heavy load/attack the app will drop/reject fragment sets earlier instead of growing memory usage without bound to reduce risk of oom. tested on pixel 6 and pixel 8.
