Merges 30 upstream commits (block/buzz main → cd02b693a) into fork main.
Resolves the conflict reported in #125.

26 files conflicted, plus 4 breakages that arrived with no conflict marker.

The expensive one: CI restructure (upstream block#7168)

Upstream split ci.yml into six reusable _ci-*.yml workflows. The fork carried
284 lines of local change in the old monolithic file, so every carry had to be
re-placed rather than merged:

  • Stayed in ci.yml (the changes job is still the caller's): 5-minute
    timeout, the compiled-flag-states output and its just --evaluate step, the
    Justfile path-filter case fix, the auto-merge contract, the path-filter
    contract.
  • Moved into _ci-desktop.yml: the Desktop Core / Desktop Tauri split, the
    shared desktop-tauri rust-cache key, the compiled-flag matrix (still
    if: false per ci: split and shard the desktop lanes, and fix a dead path filter #118) — which needed a new compiled_flag_states workflow
    input, since a reusable workflow cannot read the caller's needs — the
    disabled smoke-E2E lane, and the desktop gate's skip-tolerant result checks.
  • Mac-only gating of the mobile and Windows lanes is applied in two
    places each: inside _ci-clients.yml / _ci-rust.yml and on the
    corresponding top-level required check. Gating only the lane would leave its
    gate job reading a legitimately skipped lane as a failure.
  • CI Complete now needs the reusable-workflow callers. A caller's result
    already fails when any nested job fails, so this keeps every lane transitively
    required — which is what the branch ruleset depends on.

Both contract scripts pass, including upstream's new
scripts/test-ci-required-context-isolation.sh.

Where upstream independently built the same thing

Replay floor (buzz-acp) — upstream landed its own --replay-floor /
BUZZ_ACP_REPLAY_FLOOR config path. Took upstream's
startup_watermark_with_floor and deleted the fork's duplicate
apply_replay_floor, but kept the fork's constant in buzz-core rather than
upstream's local 15 * 60: that constant is a cross-crate contract buzz-waker
reads, and two copies drift. The fork's two wake-latency budget tests were
carried onto upstream's function.

Same shape, smaller, elsewhere: dropped upstream's agents_create_fields.rs and
runtime/metadata.rs::child_rust_log_filter where the fork already had
supersets, and dropped a duplicate second useAgentLifecycleActions call.

Where upstream restructured and the fork's delta was re-homed

app_state.rs → upstream's app_state_accessors.rs, and the runtime catalog →
upstream's discovery/catalog.rs. Both looked large and were branding-only
deltas: took the extraction, re-applied the Waggle strings. agents_deploy.rs
keeps its provider_deploy.rs counterpart deleted as usual, with upstream's
changes ported in — including the per-invocation replay_floor_unix payload
injection and its helper.

One deliberate divergence from an upstream test

Upstream block#7127/block#7129 made relay presence the availability authority. This merge
adopts that reader as the single source in the members sidebar and profile panel
(including deleting the fork's separate memberPresenceQuery derivation —
upstream's undefined already encodes "unresolved" more conservatively).

But upstream's new useAgentAvailability.test.mjs asserts a provider agent's
primary control is routed off the retained deployed receipt — "Shutdown"
regardless of presence. This fork routes it off presence deliberately: a
deployed record whose harness is gone would otherwise offer Shutdown forever
and never offer Deploy, leaving a dead remote agent unrecoverable.

The reconciling middle (treat unknown presence as "fall back to the receipt")
was tried and breaks three fork tests that pin
isManagedAgentLive(deployed, undefined) === false. The designs genuinely
disagree, so the fork's routing stands and that single assertion was rewritten
with the rationale in place; the rest of upstream's test is intact.
This is the decision most worth review.

Two upstream fixtures were adapted rather than weakened: added the fork-only
residualDeployments: [] to a deletion fixture (its absence threw mid-flow and
silently aborted the delete), and gave the channel-discovery test a non-empty
channel list, because the fork's resolveManagedAgentChannelId only addresses an
id resolving to a visible unarchived channel.

Superseded fork carries dropped

The requested-instance pin in useCanonicalManagedAgentProfile (upstream block#7131
makes an explicit pubkey bind exactly), and persistAgentEffortLevel (upstream
removed the Rust command in block#4625, so the TS wrapper called into nothing).

Caught by compilers, not by markers

A duplicate ManagedAgentRecord import; a handle_req test call site missing
upstream's new before_ids argument; a ManagedAgentRecord fixture missing
three fork fields; and the fork-only "From other communities" agent group
missing two newly-required props.

Verification

Green locally: cargo check --workspace --all-targets, Tauri cargo check,
just clippy, just desktop-tauri-clippy, just fmt-check,
just file-size-check, just desktop-check, desktop tsc, desktop unit tests
(6374), just test-unit (16/16 lanes), just desktop-tauri-test (3244).

Two caveats for review:

  • This machine has no cargo-nextest, so just test-unit falls back to a
    smaller suite — a local pass is not a CI pass.
  • The CI restructure can only be verified by running. This PR is the first real
    exercise of the rewritten CI Complete needs-list. Watch that it reports, and
    that the skipped mobile/Windows gates read as skipped rather than failed.

Note on PR #127

#127 (fork-sync-125, the 2026-09-03 sync) is still open and is superseded by
this branch: this merge runs from current origin/main to upstream
cd02b693a, which contains everything that sync covered.
292f6e158..origin/fork-sync-125 holds no unique non-merge commits. It should
be closed rather than merged — landing it after this one would re-resolve the
same seams against an already-merged tree.

## Why

The monolithic CI workflow is a frequent merge-conflict hotspot.
Splitting cohesive domains into same-repository reusable workflows keeps
one centrally filtered entry point while letting Rust, desktop,
relay/PostgreSQL, client, and security CI evolve independently.

## What

- Keep `ci.yml` as the only push/pull-request orchestrator with
unchanged concurrency and path detection.
- Move 18 execution jobs into five `workflow_call`-only domain workflows
without changing their runners, steps, matrices, caches, artifacts,
permissions, or timeouts.
- Keep the relay artifact producer with desktop integration, the
complete PostgreSQL lane, and relay E2E consumers.
- Preserve all 12 existing required GitHub Actions contexts through
lightweight top-level compatibility gates, so the repository ruleset
does not need to change.
- Update the Rust-cache contract to follow Unit Tests into
`_ci-rust.yml`.

## Risk Assessment

CI-only change with moderate workflow-orchestration risk. The main risks
are reusable-workflow output propagation, skip behavior, and visible
check naming; the old required names remain explicit top-level jobs, and
the draft will stay open until an exact-head GitHub Actions run and
independent review are complete.

Removes the dead relay-side authority ledger introduced by migrations
0041 and 0042, and the dead `require_attested_key` verifier knob from
`buzz-auth`. Both are unreachable by design under NIP-FI spec v2 (block#7214,
squash `d4420eb47`), which makes OSS Buzz stateless for identity: the
relay neither stores nor verifies an authority chain.

## What changes

**`migrations/0044_drop_nip_fi_ledger.sql`**
Drops all fifteen NIP-FI ledger tables and their trigger functions using
`CASCADE` to resolve the circular deferred FK between
`identity_bindings` and `identity_lifecycle_history`. Drops proceed in
FK dependency order: selectors → history/bindings →
enrollment_policies/receipts → parallel drop of auth tables. Restores
`community_write_fence_excluded_table` to its pre-0041 body (removes
NIP-FI table names from the exclusion array).

**`schema/schema.sql`**
Removes the NIP-FI section (~1885 lines of tables, functions, and
triggers) and updates `community_write_fence_excluded_table` to match.

**`crates/buzz-db/src/runtime/migration.rs`**
- Updates the `embedded_migrator_contains_consolidated_initial_schema`
sanity check: count 43→44, adds 0044 assertion block (verifies `DROP
TABLE` statements and absence of NIP-FI names from `schema.sql`).
- Removes ~2580 lines of NIP-FI Postgres integration tests (all
`#[tokio::test] #[ignore = "requires Postgres"]` from the 0041/0042
behavioral coverage).
- Removes the `extract_excluded_table_array` drift check (0042 body no
longer matches `schema.sql` by design).
- Adds `migration_0044_drops_populated_nip_fi_ledger_cleanly`: runs
migrations to 0042, seeds rows in `authorization_operation_receipts` and
`authorization_invalidation_domains`, then runs to 0044 and verifies all
fifteen NIP-FI tables are absent.

**`crates/buzz-auth/src/nip_fi/config.rs`**
Removes `require_attested_key: bool` from `IssuerPolicy` — field,
constructor parameter, accessor, and its contribution to
`derive_assertion_policy_id`.

**`crates/buzz-auth/src/nip_fi/verifier.rs`**
`parse_nostr_pubkey_claim` no longer takes a `policy` parameter. The
`None` (absent claim) arm now returns
`Err(VerifierError::ClaimRejected)` unconditionally instead of
conditionally on `policy.require_attested_key()`.

**`crates/buzz-auth/src/nip_fi/verifier/tests.rs`**
- Removes `missing_nostr_pubkey_denies_under_attested_key_policy` (the
sole `require_attested_key: true` call site).
- Removes `false,` from all eleven `IssuerPolicy::new` call sites.
- Injects `nostr_pubkey` by default in `mint_signed_by` (spec v2
requires it unconditionally).
- Updates `valid_access_token_verifies` to assert
`asserted_key().is_some()`.

**`crates/buzz-auth/src/nip_fi/startup/tests.rs` + `jwks/tests.rs`**
Removes `false,` from all `IssuerPolicy::new` call sites and adds
`nostr_pubkey` to all token-minting helpers.

## Verification

- Fresh-DB migration run to head: all migrations apply cleanly in
sequence.
- Populated-0041/0042-DB migration through 0044: seeds rows in live
NIP-FI tables, verifies all fifteen are dropped without error.

Closes the dead-code inventory item from the spec-v2 cleanup plan
(channel `48374f48`). Follows block#7214.

## Summary

Genericizes the agent effort write-side so Goose participates in the
same canonical effort contract as buzz-agent. A spawn bridge translates
the canonical key to whatever the target harness expects at launch time.
Read/write/spawn paths all derive their vocabulary from runtime metadata
rather than a hardcoded buzz-agent list.

## What changed

### Rust — config bridge + spawn path

- `apply_spawn_effort_env` in `effort.rs`: production command-boundary
seam — writes baked env, runs the effort projection, strips per-runtime
suppress set, and emits exactly one projected key.
- `apply_effort_to_spawn_command` in `runtime.rs`: thin wrapper
returning a `#[must_use] EffortApplied(())` token (private field —
unforgeable outside the function). `spawn_agent_child` calls it as `let
effort = apply_effort_to_spawn_command(...)` and passes `effort` to
`spawn_with_effort_proof`. Deleting the call is a compile error:
`effort` is undefined at the `spawn_with_effort_proof` site. Deleting
`apply_spawn_effort_env` inside the wrapper turns the
production-sequence tests RED.
- `apply_record_field_updates` in `agent_models_update.rs`: returns
`Result<RecordFieldsApplied, String>` (`#[must_use]` token).
`update_managed_agent` calls it as `let applied =
apply_record_field_updates(...)?` then passes `applied` to
`stamp_record_updated_at`. Deleting the call is a compile error:
`applied` is undefined at the `stamp_record_updated_at` site.
- Unknown/custom-runtime passthrough: `apply_effort_launch_to_command`
skips the suppress loop when `preserve_passthrough && value.is_none()`,
preserving ambient ACP sentinels.
- `EnvVarGuard`: prior value stored as `OsString` (`var_os`) so
non-Unicode values are restored exactly on Drop. A single
`PROCESS_ENV_MUTEX` in `managed_agents/mod.rs` is shared by
`lock_path_mutex()` and `lock_env_mutex()` — any two tests calling
either helper are mutually exclusive with each other. Tests in other
modules (`app_state_tests`, `agent_config_tests`, `reader_tests`)
maintain their own independent locks and are not in this domain.
- Dead-code: `strip_effort_keys_from_command` marked `#[cfg(test)]`;
import path in `effort_cmd_tests.rs` fixed.
- Windows CI fix: platform-gated variants for inherited-env tests.

### TypeScript — renderer + model cleanup

- `AgentConfigFields` orphan-model cleanup effect: the
`isHarnessNativeEffort` early-return was skipping the model clear on
provider→Custom transitions. Refined to: return early only when model is
already null; clear model once while preserving the harness-native
effort key (Carl P2).
- Provider-empty convergence: when model is null and effort is native,
the cleanup effect returns early (nothing to clear) — prevents spurious
`onConfigChange` loop.
- `EffortSelectField` / `humanizeEffortLabel`: runtime-native option
labels title-cased (`off` → `Off`) with raw canonical values preserved
for round-trip fidelity.
- `AgentConfigFields`: drives effort renderer from
`selectedRuntime.effortCanonicalValues` (harness-native path) or the
model/provider catalog (buzz-agent/provider path), selected by
`isHarnessNativeEffort`.

### Docs

- `desktop/src/features/agents/AGENTS.md` item 14: updated from deleted
`persistAgentEffortLevel` direct-write contract to the shipped
Save-gated `update_managed_agent.effortLevel` path. Consistent with
`EffortPickerField`'s own doc comment.

### Tests

- `agent_models_update_tests.rs`: seam tests via
`apply_record_field_updates` — non-local rejects, local set/clear,
ordering invariant, ACP-sentinel sweep.
`record_field_updates_persist_effort_to_disk` (renamed from the prior
false-claim name) drives load→apply→stamp→save→load via a mock AppHandle
+ tempdir, asserting `effort_level` persists to disk. Manual HOME/XDG
restore replaced with RAII `EnvVarGuard` (panic-safe, `OsString`-exact).
- `effort_cmd_tests.rs` / `effort_tests.rs`: production-sequence seam
tests via `apply_effort_to_spawn_command`. Spawns `/usr/bin/env` to
verify child's real env. `EnvVarGuard` for panic-safe restore. Windows
twin using `cmd /c set`.
- `effortAutoClear.test.mjs`: five mounted stateful journeys via
`AgentConfigFields` with `useCustomSelect=true`. Covers: custom trigger
shows "Off" at mount; provider-empty mount is a stable fixed point;
provider→Custom switch converges; stale Anthropic model cleared on
Custom switch with Goose effort preserved (Carl P2 regression);
Settings-style Save/reread preserves effort.
- `agentDefaultsEditor.test.mjs`: two full Save/Next journey tests
through the real production parent trees. Both start with
`GOOSE_THINKING_EFFORT: "low"` and operate the real Popover-based effort
control (click trigger → click "off" option) before Save/Next, asserting
zero writes after selection. The `set_global_agent_config` stub captures
the submitted payload; each test asserts raw `GOOSE_THINKING_EFFORT:
"off"` in the captured config. The stub stores its canonical response
from the actual payload; the fresh remount's `get_global_agent_config`
returns that stored object (not a hand-written fixture), then asserts
"Off" shown. The `DefaultConfigStep` test starts with `isDirty: false` —
the real-control effort selection calls `onConfigChange → updateDraft →
isDirtyRef=true`, making the `commit()` on Next load-bearing.

## Mutation evidence

- Delete `let effort = apply_effort_to_spawn_command(...)` call from
`spawn_agent_child` → compile error: `error[E0425]: cannot find value
`effort`` at `spawn_with_effort_proof` site.
- Delete `let applied = apply_record_field_updates(...)?` from
`update_managed_agent` → compile error: `error[E0425]: cannot find value
`applied`` at `stamp_record_updated_at` site.
- Delete `apply_spawn_effort_env` from inside
`apply_effort_to_spawn_command` wrapper →
`production_sequence_goose_inherited_collision_resolved_in_child` RED.
- Revert `isHarnessNativeEffort &&` guard in cleanup `useEffect` to bare
`if (isHarnessNativeEffort) return` → stale model not cleared → Carl P2
regression test RED.
- Remove `isHarnessNativeEffort ||` from the nothing-to-clear condition
→ provider-empty mount emits `onConfigChange` → loop test RED.
- Remove `isHarnessNativeEffort` branch in
`AgentConfigFields.tsx:634-636` → both `agentDefaultsEditor.test.mjs`
mount assertions fail: trigger shows "Select" instead of initial effort
label.
- Remove `preserve_passthrough` guard in
`apply_effort_launch_to_command` →
`production_sequence_custom_inherited_acp_sentinel_survives` RED.
- Drop `GOOSE_THINKING_EFFORT` from the `set_global_agent_config` stub
payload → payload assertion in `agentDefaultsEditor.test.mjs` fails
(`undefined !== "off"`) → RED (verified).
- Remove the effort-select dirtying steps from the `DefaultConfigStep`
test (so `isDirty` stays false) → `commit()` is a no-op → write-count
assertion after Next fails (0 instead of 1) → RED.

## Summary

An agent you own could be missing from **New message → To:** and
**Channel members → Add people and agents** on a machine that has never
managed it. This PR lets those existing lists find your agent without
requiring a shared channel first. Desktop now checks records proving you
own it, rather than looking only at agents in channels you've already
joined.

**No new screen or control is added.** For example, an agent with
verified ownership and **Who can send instructions → Only me (default)**
can now appear even with no shared channels. Each screen still applies
its existing access rules; this does not make every discovered agent
selectable everywhere.

| Screen / control | Before | After this PR alone |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **New message → To:** recipient picker | An owned agent absent from
this machine and shared-channel bot lists could be missing. | Its named
**agent** row can appear; selecting it adds a recipient chip. This is
recipient selection, not a guarantee that a later message will reach or
wake the agent. |
| **Channel members → Add people and agents** | The same agent could be
missing from **Not in this channel** search results. | Its row can
appear with the existing **Add** button. If you can add members, that
button submits the existing channel-membership request; finding the row
alone changes no membership. |
| **Stream / forum composer → @ suggestions** | An owned agent already
in the channel under an ordinary member role could be missing from agent
suggestions. | Its actual membership is recognized without requiring the
bot role. Agents not managed on this device still need membership in
that channel. |
| **Pulse → Agents** | An agent absent from both local management and
the server's agent list was omitted from the count and author lookup. |
The count and feed's author lookup can include it; notes appear only if
it has published them. |

Being listed does **not** mean the agent is online, add it to a channel,
or grant local Start/Edit controls. For agents not managed on this
device, global **Search** still excludes those configured for “Only me”,
and DM @ selection is not added here. DM @ selection and message-driven
nonmember invitation are addressed in
[block#7124](block#7124); the standalone forum
**Invite / Cancel** flow is in
[block#7125](block#7125).

<details>
<summary>Ownership and membership checks</summary>

A discovery lead is not proof: the latest agent profile must have a
valid signature and exactly one valid ownership attestation—the owner's
signed link to that agent. Its response policy must be signed by that
verified owner; an invalid latest policy cannot restore an older
permission. Membership comes separately from the latest server-signed
roster, including removals.

Existing profile cards, owner labels and agent-avatar shapes also use
this stricter verification: malformed or forged evidence must not supply
ownership/agent classification on its own. Valid ownership was already
recognized; no profile-picture or badge design changes.

Attestation time conditions apply to the signed event's timestamp, not a
live expiry timer. Existing legacy compatibility and builds requiring
verified owner policy retain their respective rules. Discovery and
sending remain separate operations, not an atomic permission check.

</details>

### Review corrections

- When runtime and owner policy overlap, **explicit online/away/offline
from the verified latest runtime is retained**. Policy still supplies
ownership/permissions; claimed runtime membership is not restored.
Missing/unrecognized status stays unknown, and invalid latest policy
cannot revive runtime permissions.
- Discovery without runtime evidence is now **unknown**, not offline:
native conversion, both IPC adapters, Pulse, Projects and
profile/session consumers preserve that distinction. Unknown has no
status dot and is not promoted to a deployed/running agent.
- Both relay-only picker paths retain the authenticated owner, including
the existing **managed by you** label. The analogous global Search
projection is fixed without changing its existing “anyone” filter.
- Authorized stored profile activity remains visible when liveness
becomes unknown/absent or the active turn ends. History reads do not
start a live subscription, grant access, or imply current availability.

### Testing

Current candidate: `3a56d17824522580fe04cae463b54f4c7ba66021`, a
four-file native/test/doc runtime-status repair atop published
`ae23c1c9680a881cee7eed94e259bf15bf8ce3f7`. Branch ancestry is main
`1c8321cd08feb597f8bcff5195c21148fb3e98ed`; refreshed main
`0e878664b08cdf7fb2d89d940bc2aa92cdc485f7` adds only the independent
CI-workflow split. Read-only mergeability succeeds; this is not a tested
merged-tree claim.

**Local CI attempt and continuation (not an uninterrupted green run):**
the new exact-head `just ci` passed formatting/static checks, workspace
and Tauri clippy, workspace Rust tests, **5,910 desktop tests**, desktop
production build and Tauri check. Its native main target finished
**3,073 passed / 1 failed / 19 ignored** (exit 101):
`cheap_discovery_reports_absent_before_any_forced_probe` saw a
process-global login-shell counter of 2 instead of 0. The counter
includes unrelated version/adapter probes whose tests do not hold the
failed test's PATH mutex; no managed-agent discovery implementation
changed in the runtime repair. The unchanged failing test then passed
**three isolated invocations**. Only the failed native workspace lane
was retried with `RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 just desktop-tauri-test`: **3,074
main-target tests passed / 19 ignored**, all additional workspace
targets passed (exit 0). The previously unrun `just web-build
mobile-test` tail then passed (exit 0; **2,019 mobile tests**). Earlier
successful lanes were reused; no source/guard changes or blanket CI
rerun. The original failure and all diagnostic/retry logs are retained.

- **71 native `nostr_convert` tests pass**, including seven new
production merge regressions: online/away/offline, missing/invalid
status, policy-only, status-less latest replacement and forged latest
replacement. Before production repair, those seven yielded **4 failures
/ 3 passing controls**.
- Reused frontend evidence from `ae23c1c9` (frontend is unchanged):
Desktop TypeScript and isolated E2E build pass; **9 browser tests / 0
retries**, covering both relay-only picker journeys and seven adjacent
stop-control regressions. Real UI with mock Tauri IPC, not live
relay/native webview.
- Earlier `ae23c1c9` local `just ci` passed without failures, including
3,067 native main-target tests / 19 ignored and 2,019 mobile tests; not
substituted for the new source gate above.
- Reused unchanged repair evidence: **17 real-store/hook history
regressions**, **161 focused tests**, and independent **9 mounted
owner/bot/identity revocation/regrant transitions** with zero hook-phase
native calls. The regression was falsified before repair (14 failures, 3
controls).
- Signed local-server fixtures cover discovery with no local/shared
record, ordinary-role membership, forged ownership, invalid signatures,
duplicate authentication, wrong-owner/latest-invalid policy, revoked
membership and wrong destinations. These establish native data checks,
not a live agent response.

GitHub checks and renewed technical/security review must apply to the
current published head; earlier-head green checks are not
replacement-head proof. Local source review is not formal
code-owner/latest-push approval or exact-range security authorization. A
green security workflow with substantive review skipped is not security

#### Relay-only picker evidence —
`ae23c1c9680a881cee7eed94e259bf15bf8ce3f7`

These cropped rows come from the two real production picker journeys in
[`owned-agent-discovery.spec.ts`](https://github.com/block/buzz/blob/ae23c1c9680a881cee7eed94e259bf15bf8ce3f7/desktop/tests/e2e/owned-agent-discovery.spec.ts),
using mock Tauri IPC with **no local agents and no user-search
duplicate**. The fixture supplies verified-owner data and unknown
availability; the browser test checks its presentation, not native
signature verification. Both exact-tip journeys pass without retries. No
live relay, native webview, invitation, delivery or wakeup is claimed.

Before the repair, both relay-only candidate constructors discarded the
owner, so the existing “managed by you” label was absent. These are
after-repair captures; no before image was captured.

#### New Message → To
The relay-only agent retains its authenticated owner label.

#### Channel members → Add people and agents
The matching result retains “managed by you” beside the existing Add
action; the test does not click Add or claim membership changed.

## Summary

In Buzz Desktop, clicking a message from stopped agent A could open
running agent B—and B's controls—because both shared a persona (an agent
definition). This now opens the author you clicked and only that agent's
own controls, so you can inspect an old message without being redirected
to a different running agent.

An explicit public key—the identifier for one agent—now stays exact
across message authors, members, DMs, deep links and Instances rows,
including stopped, archived and relay-only agents. Local controls come
only from a matching local record for that key. A relay-only A cannot
borrow B's Start/Stop/Edit controls or configuration.

Deliberately opening a **persona** is different: it can still select a
representative that respects archived instances or offer Start when none
remains. The change removes competing historical-persona redirects
rather than adding another identity exception.

## Why

Buzz already reports coarse writer/reader database checkout waits, but
those
signals cannot explain which startup or serving operation is blocked by
pool
pressure. That makes rollout diagnosis and postmortems ambiguous: a
readiness
probe, NIP-42 authentication, authorization check, reconnect history
repair,
event write, and background maintenance can all wait on the same pool
while
appearing identical.

This PR implements Package 2A of the pod-handoff plan: operation-aware
pool
borrow causality. It is observability-only; it does not change
configured pool
sizes, SQL semantics, transaction ordering, or timeout policy. Physical
DNS/TCP/TLS/Postgres authentication and session initialization remain
the
separate Package 2B boundary.

## Metric contract

The final contract separates three questions:

| Question | Metric |
|---|---|
| How long did checkout wait? |
`buzz_db_pool_acquire_duration_seconds{pool_role,operation}` |
| How did the attempt end? |
`buzz_db_pool_acquire_attempts_total{pool_role,operation,outcome}` |
| Who is waiting now for a tracked operation? |
`buzz_db_pool_waiters{pool_role,operation}` |

Outcomes are `success`, `timeout`, `error`, and `cancelled`. Operations
are
`bootstrap`, `readiness`, `tenant_resolution`, `authentication`,
`authorization`, `subscription_history`, `event_write`, and
`maintenance`.

Only these eleven pool/operation pairs are constructible:

```text
writer/bootstrap                 reader/bootstrap
writer/readiness
writer/tenant_resolution
writer/authentication
writer/authorization             reader/authorization
writer/subscription_history      reader/subscription_history
writer/event_write
writer/maintenance
```

The duration histogram intentionally does not carry `outcome`. Result
data
remains available on the terminal counter for historical counts and
rates,
without multiplying the expensive histogram family. Nine finite buckets
plus
`+Inf`, sum, and count produce 12 duration series per valid pair.
Together with
four outcome counters and one waiter gauge, the new-family ceiling is
exactly
187 raw Prometheus series per pod, asserted from the production
exporter.

The existing coarse acquisition families remain temporarily for
dashboard
compatibility while the new series are validated in staging.

The operation-specific waiter family covers the explicitly routed,
deployment-critical operations above; it is not a census of every
possible
SQLx checkout in the process. The dashboard pairs it with SQLx pool
active/idle/max gauges for whole-pool capacity context, and treats a
missing
operation series as unknown rather than healthy zero.

## What changed

### Cancellation-safe acquisition ownership

- Add writer- and reader-specific typed operation APIs so invalid label
pairs
  cannot be constructed and store modules cannot emit reader labels.
- Own every polled acquisition with one RAII terminal guard.
- Record exactly one duration and terminal outcome for success, timeout,
error,
  or cancellation.
- Emit nothing for a future that is created but never polled.
- Balance the operation-specific waiter count exactly once on every
terminal or
  dropped future.
- Periodically refresh every expected waiter pair, including healthy
zero, so
missing telemetry is not presented as zero. Reader pairs are emitted
only
when a distinct read pool is configured; a writer-only pod cannot
fabricate
  healthy reader-zero state.

### Production attribution

Route the deployment-critical acquisition paths through caller-owned
semantic
entry points, including:

- writer and reader bootstrap;
- the real post-block#7149 readiness acquisition and deletion-catalog
validation;
- tenant resolution and community lifecycle checks;
- NIP-42 allowlist authentication;
- membership, moderation, invite, operator, Git, agent-owner, and policy
  authorization;
- operator community create/list/archive/unarchive, reverse host/channel
tenant
  resolution, and REQ row-community conformance lookups;
- writer/reader subscription history, feed, thread, and routed fallback
paths;
- primary and command event writes, replaceable events, mention
indexing,
  reaction/channel/member/archive side effects, and thread metadata;
- push matching, usage rollups/leadership, replica-fence startup and
recurring
probes, periodic reconciliation, channel/deletion reapers, partitions,
and
  other bounded maintenance/bootstrap paths.

Shared helpers now accept caller-owned intent or expose named semantic
variants
instead of assigning one misleading operation to every caller. No known
P0 path
uses `other`.

### Readiness and size-one-pool correctness

- Rebase on the post-block#7149 readiness implementation and instrument the
actual
`Db::readiness_check` acquisition rather than the superseded ping-only
seam.
- Acquire once for deletion-catalog validation and run its queries on
that
  connection, preserving the shared readiness deadline.
- Scope the channel-roster catalog checkout before the behavior probe so
a
  size-one writer pool cannot self-deadlock during startup verification.

### Exporter, documentation, and CI

- Register metric HELP/type/unit metadata through the production
Prometheus
  builder.
- Configure dedicated checkout buckets at 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 25ms, 50ms,
150ms,
  500ms, 1s, and 3s.
- Add a production scrape-contract test for exact names, labels,
buckets,
  valid pairs, sensitive-label exclusion, and the 187-series ceiling.
- Add source mutation guards for the P0 semantic entry points and
raw-checkout
  bypasses.
- Add an exact backend-integration CI selector for the production
attribution,
  cancellation, readiness, and size-one-pool PostgreSQL tests.
- Document the frozen label vocabulary, valid combinations, semantics,
and
  cardinality budget in the Helm chart README.

## Dashboard intent

The new Stage 2 row in **Buzz Startup & Rollout Safety** is
deployment-first:

- baseline-versus-candidate attempts, failure rates, cancellation rates,
and
  maximum wait by operation;
- outcome counts and percentages over time by SHA/ReplicaSet;
- acquisition wait heatmap, average, and maximum through the rollout;
- historical waiter pressure beside writer active/idle/max context;
- per-pod postmortem drilldown, including terminated pods;
- a smaller current-waiter table with explicit stale/missing semantics.

Percentile widgets remain disabled until Datadog metadata confirms
percentile
support for the new distribution. Current gauges use no fill,
interpolation, or
`default_zero`; missing means unknown.

## Risk assessment

Moderate. The patch touches many database acquisition call sites, but
preserves
the selected physical pool and executes the same SQL on the acquired
connection. The main risks are incorrect semantic attribution,
cancellation
double-counting, and a helper accidentally acquiring twice. Typed APIs,
production-method PostgreSQL tests, source guards, the raw scrape
contract, and
the size-one-pool regression cover those risks.

No tenant, community, user, pubkey, event, channel, SQL, URL, pod,
version,
ReplicaSet, or request-controlled value is emitted as an application
metric
label. Deployment identity is supplied by infrastructure enrichment.

## Verification

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` — passed.
- `cargo clippy -p buzz-db -p buzz-relay --all-targets --all-features --
-D warnings`
  — passed.
- `cargo test -p buzz-db` — 122 passed, 0 failed, 263 ignored;
  source-contract integration test: 3 passed, 0 failed.
- Focused relay compatibility, metric-contract, and readiness tests —
passed.
- `scripts/test-postgres-test-discovery.sh` — passed.
- Full `buzz-relay` package run from the identical tree reached 1,015
passes;
the six media-test failures all stopped in their shared local PostgreSQL
setup with `Sqlx(PoolTimedOut)` because Docker/PostgreSQL was
unavailable.
The same six failed in isolation, while every changed exact test passed.
- Exact implementation head:
  `f92910b353086e9edf85918ca5f72190edbbe22f`.
- Exact multi-architecture staging image:
  `dev-sha-f92910b353086e9edf85918ca5f72190edbbe22f-run-33607968668-1`

(`sha256:161712c8ed2e265a15df9b63e02248d5973481f875ff129d7d2ae78a09d487a2`).
- Focused staging GitOps PR:

<squareup/builderbot-platform-core-infrastructure#299>
— merged after renderer, inventory, infrastructure test, Kargo, Semgrep,
and
Intersect gates passed; the source/generated-artifact diff was exactly
two
  image lines.
- Exact GitHub head reports 47 terminal checks: 35 successful and 12
  intentionally skipped. PostgreSQL, unit, lint, security, both server
cross-compiles, backend integration, relay E2E, desktop, mobile, image,
  Helm, Semgrep, zizmor, and DCO gates are green.
- Datadog readback identifies two exact-image pods,
  `buzz-d79c8d8f7-ckv2l` and `buzz-d79c8d8f7-qzqdp`, in ReplicaSet
  `buzz-d79c8d8f7`; both report the full source SHA above.
- Both pods report all eleven allowed pool/operation waiter pairs at
current
zero, with no invalid pair. The acceptance window observed nonzero
success
  receipts for readiness, tenant resolution, authorization, subscription
history, event write, and maintenance, and no timeout, error, or
cancelled
outcome. Maximum observed wait was about 101 ms for maintenance and 50
ms
  for reader subscription history.

The main **Buzz Startup & Rollout Safety** dashboard now has a live
Stage 2
database row with eight widgets and nineteen fully scoped queries. Final
readback preserved all seven top-level groups, found zero under-scoped
Row 6
queries, and confirmed the tracked-operation waiter boundary in the
panel
descriptions.

**Category:** fix
**User Impact:** Wrapped channel and mention chips in the chat composer
now align continuation text with the chip edge while keeping the icon on
the first line.

**Problem:** Plain composer decorations used absolute icons plus cloned
icon-sized padding, so every wrapped fragment inherited an empty icon
gap and the icon aligned against the union of all lines. **Solution:**
Keep the icon in the first fragment's inline flow and restore normal
chip padding on continuation fragments, while explicitly leaving the
separate wrapping Buzz-link and sent-message rendering paths unchanged.

<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

**desktop/src/shared/styles/globals/composer.css**
Scopes in-flow icon geometry and normal continuation padding to plain
composer mention and channel decorations, excluding wrapping atom-link
chips and preserving the human-icon vertical correction.

**desktop/tests/e2e/mentions.spec.ts**
Adds a rendered narrow-composer regression that checks two fragments,
static icon geometry, first-line icon space, and continuation-line
alignment to ordinary chip padding.

</details>

## Reproduction steps

1. Open a channel in Buzz Desktop.
2. Narrow the chat composer enough for `#all-replies` to wrap.
3. Confirm the channel icon occupies only the first line and `replies`
starts at the chip's normal left padding rather than an icon-sized
inset.
4. Send or view a long inline Buzz chip in the message list at a
constrained width.
5. Confirm its icon remains attached to the leading fragment and its
remaining label continues cleanly on following lines.

…ress (block#7254)

Spec revision following two decisions: Option B admin deny (2026-09-02)
and the HTTP ingress ruling (2026-09-02). Revises `docs/nips/NIP-FI.md`
only. Follows block#7214 (merged spec v2).

## What changed

### Admin disconnect: session-only → deny-until-TTL

The disconnect operation proceeds in two steps, in order:

1. Insert a memory-resident deny entry keyed by `(iss, target_pubkey)`
with absolute expiry `until` — atomically combined with the `(iss, jti)`
replay-identity reservation as one all-or-nothing mutation. If the deny
set is at capacity (per-issuer bound), the relay rejects `503`; neither
the jti nor the deny entry is recorded, and the caller may safely retry
the same signed command.
2. Close all live WebSocket connections for the target pubkey,
synchronously.

The single atomic admission mutation (jti reservation + deny-entry
insertion) lives inside `VerifyCommandJwt` step 7, after all pure
authorization checks. The endpoint only closes sessions on success. This
ordering ensures a capacity failure leaves no state behind and makes the
retry-safe 503 contract implementable.

The deny set is RAM-cache only — no durable storage, no schema changes.
The same operational posture as the JWKS snapshot. A relay restart MAY
forget active entries; the issuer SHOULD re-push still-active deny
entries on observed restart (same publish/cache pattern as JWKS). If the
issuer stops issuing assertions and re-push completes before any
expired-entry reconnection attempt, residual exposure after restart is
bounded by `max(0, min(exp, iat + maximum_assertion_age) - now)`. If the
issuer continues issuing or re-push does not complete in time, that
formula does not apply and access may continue beyond it.

**`until` claim:** Required on the disconnect command JWT. Because an
assertion accepted at the future-skew boundary (`iat <= now + skew`)
remains valid until `iat + maximum_assertion_age`, the latest possible
authority deadline is `now + skew + maximum_assertion_age`. The relay
enforces `until <= now + skew + maximum_assertion_age`. A value above
this ceiling rejects `400`; a past `until` still closes live sessions —
absent an active same-key entry it creates no future denial, while an
active entry remains unchanged under the merge rule.

**Capacity and eviction (per-issuer):** The relay MUST bound the deny
set size **per issuer**. Capacity exhaustion under one issuer MUST NOT
cause rejection of another issuer's commands; the `503` capacity check
is evaluated against the command's own issuer bound. Implementations
MUST evict only expired entries; when an issuer's partition is at
capacity and all entries are still active, the relay MUST reject the new
command `503` without removing any existing entry. There is no LRU
eviction of active denies.

**Issuer-global deny:** The deny entry applies to admission across all
communities served by the relay under that issuer. Identity-level
revocation is intentionally not community-partial.

**Cross-replica propagation:** In a deployment with multiple relay
processes, the deployment MUST propagate both the session-close and the
deny entry to every process serving admissions for the issuer's
communities. The mechanism is deployment-defined (e.g. the existing
inter-process message bus, same posture as JWKS convergence).
Propagation is asynchronous with no protocol-level completion bound. The
issuer re-push duty is the recovery path for lost propagation, exactly
as for relay restart.

**Response shape:** A successful disconnect responds `{"disconnected":
true}` regardless of how many sessions were closed. No session count is
returned; a count would aggregate activity across communities and
constitute an information leak.

**Admission procedure:** Step 5 registers the session's proven `k`
before the deny-set check (new step 6) — ensuring any connection that
straddles a concurrent disconnect is caught by one side or the other.
`FI-TRACE-DENY-SET` oracle covers the per-issuer capacity rule and the
straddling termination requirement.

### HTTP ingress enforcement

Without explicit enforcement, a protected HTTP surface (bridge, invites,
media, git) with NIP-98-only authorization allows a principal holding an
active key to mint fresh NIP-98 events indefinitely — NIP-98 proves key
possession only, not identity. Without assertion verification there is
no expiry bound; the key remains valid for as long as it is accepted.

**Pairing rule:** in enforce mode, a protected HTTP request MUST carry
both:

```
Authorization: Nostr <base64-NIP-98-event>
Nostr-Federated-Identity: Bearer <compact-JWS>
```

The NIP-98 pubkey MUST equal the assertion `nostr_pubkey` claim.
Missing, mismatched, or invalid evidence of either kind denies, fail
closed.

**Verification:** reuses `VerifyAssertion` unchanged — offline, same
JWKS, same claim requirements, same denial classes.

**Per-request:** HTTP is sessionless; every request re-verifies. No
session lifetime, no cached admission. The cumulative residual bound
applies per request.

**Deny-set applicability:** the deny-until-TTL entry introduced above is
consulted per HTTP request identically to WebSocket admission.

**Protected surface:** deployment-configured set of routes, fail-closed
default (unclassifiable routes treated as protected). No normative route
names in the spec.

`FI-TRACE-HTTP-INGRESS` oracle added. Security considerations updated
with HTTP ingress bypass analysis. NIP-98 source reference added.

### Other changes

- `authorization_denied` rejection table row updated to "active deny-set
entry for pubkey".
- Discovery: `maximum_residual_upstream_revocation_seconds` remains
`null` — the deny-until-TTL model is best-effort RAM state and provides
no unconditional finite revocation bound.
- Rejection and privacy: explicit sentence for HTTP denial path.
- Client-attached transport: opening sentence generalized to cover both
WebSocket and HTTP.

…elay slowness (block#7188)

Three client gaps turn transient relay failures into permanent UI
degradation. Under a slow or rate-limited relay:

1. A cold channel's profile batch exhausts its single retry and leaves
raw npubs + broken mention chips until the user manually kicks the
channel.
2. A thread opened from a notification trusts a successful-but-empty
reply read as authoritative and never retries.
3. A rate-limited `CLOSED` on a history subscription immediately rejects
the caller rather than retrying after the rate-limit window.

All three are addressed without changing global query defaults or the
happy-path behavior.

## Changes

**Fix 1 — cold profile batch resilience** (`useUsersBatchQuery`,
`desktop/src/features/profile/hooks.ts`)

Override `retry: 3` with exponential backoff and error-gated
`refetchOnWindowFocus: (query) => query.state.status === "error"`,
scoped to this query only. The global defaults (`retry: 1`,
`refetchOnWindowFocus: false`) are intentional for other queries and are
unchanged. After the retry budget exhausts, a window-focus event (e.g.
channel-switch) recovers the query automatically — but only when it is
already in an error state, preventing unnecessary refetches for
successful batches.

**Fix 2 — stale-empty thread reads** (`useThreadReplies.ts`,
`ChannelScreen.tsx`)

Add optional `expectedEventId` parameter. When a completed paged fetch
does not contain the expected event, throw
`ThreadExpectedEventMissingError` so React Query's built-in retry
machinery handles it rather than caching an authoritative empty.
`ChannelScreen` passes `threadScrollTargetId` (the notification-linked
reply ID) as `expectedEventId`.

When notification routing changes `expectedEventId` while the same
thread root is already mounted (same query key), an explicit
`invalidateQueries` in a `useEffect` triggers a fresh validation pass.
The `useEffect` is declared after `useQuery` so TanStack's internal
options-update effect installs the new `queryFn` closure first; the
refetch therefore uses the current `expectedEventId` rather than the
previous null closure. For the cold-start race (target arrives before
the first page returns), the effect detects `fetchStatus === "fetching"
&& status === "pending"` and calls
`cancelQueries().then(invalidateQueries)` so the obsolete in-flight
response cannot settle as authoritative before the new target's
validation closure is active.

The query-fn tracks consecutive fetch attempts per target. On attempt 3,
it adds the target to `exhaustedTargetsRef` before calling
`loadThreadReplies`. `loadThreadReplies` sees the target in the
exhausted set and returns the fetched replies directly rather than
throwing — the terminal attempt always resolves to success. No
re-entrant scheduling: the resolution is synchronous inside the query
function itself. Deleted/moderated targets never lock the thread in a
terminal error surface.

**Fix 3 — CLOSED recovery for history subscriptions**
(`relayClosedRecovery.ts`, `relayClientSession.ts`,
`relayClientShared.ts`, `relayGateBoundary.ts`)

On a rate-limited `CLOSED` the subscription previously rejected the
caller immediately. Store `filter` and `timeoutMs` on
`HistorySubscription`, then on rate-limited `CLOSED` re-register under a
fresh `subId` and defer `sendReq` until the rate-limit window clears —
matching the live-sub recovery design already present in
`relayClosedRecovery.ts`. Bounded to 3 attempts; exhausted retries
reject immediately so callers are never left waiting indefinitely. A new
op-timeout guards the retry REQ against a non-responding relay; when the
op-timeout fires it sends `CLOSE` for the rotated `subId` (matching the
behavior of the original timeout path) so the relay releases the slot
rather than counting it against the per-connection cap.

## Tests

- `relayClosedRecovery.test.mjs`: behavioral fake-clock tests for
history-sub retry, 3-attempt exhaustion, op-timeout CLOSE send +
late-EOSE non-regression, rejecting-`closeSubscription` swallowed
without unhandled rejection, wiring source assertion (fails if
`relayClientSession.ts` drops the `closeSubscription` callback) — 18
tests
- `useThreadReplies.test.mjs`: `loadThreadReplies` unit tests
(throw/exhaustion-guard); behavioral hook tests via real
`QueryClientProvider` + `renderHook`: exhaustion-resolves-to-data,
settled null→target change retries on missing-target page and lands
target data (fails if `invalidateQueries` is removed OR if `useQuery` is
moved after the `useEffect`), cold-fetch cancel-then-invalidate (gated
fetcher — released after rerender, stale empty discarded, replacement
fetch settles with target); ChannelScreen wiring source assertion — 9
tests
- `profileBatchResilience.test.mjs`: source assertions for `retry: 3`,
`retryDelay`, error-gated `refetchOnWindowFocus`, and unchanged global
defaults — 2 tests

## Summary

- add a persistent, community-scoped Bestie designation for local
managed agents
- surface the designated agent in the sidebar, agent library, profile
actions, message toolbar, and draggable floating shortcut
- bloom the floating shortcut into a lightweight compact composer that
reuses the normal DM timeline, reactions, presence, and send behavior
- support message handoff with a bounded snapshot and a full Buzz thread
link so the agent can retrieve the complete conversation

## UX details

- the floating avatar and expanded panel stay above app chrome and drag
as one aligned surface
- closing the expanded panel returns it to its top-right anchor
- each mini-composer opening starts visually fresh while messages sent
during that opening remain conversational
- the designated Bestie's duplicate DM entry is hidden from the regular
DM list
- Bestie actions are suppressed inside the mini timeline to avoid
recursive handoff

## Reliability and maintainability

- preserve existing retention database paths across upgrades
- serialize assignment and deletion, clearing matching assignments
across community scopes before an agent is removed
- fence async conversation resolution against workspace and assignment
changes
- validate stale assignments against existing local agents before hiding
DMs
- share lightweight assignment state across agent cards and keep
protected-feature behavior out of the shared timeline API

## Testing

- `pnpm --dir desktop test` — 5,886 tests passed
- `pnpm --dir desktop exec tsc --noEmit`
- `pnpm --dir desktop exec biome check ...`
- `cargo clippy --manifest-path desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
--all-targets -- -D warnings`
- focused native retention and Bestie assignment/command tests — 34
passed
- `VITE_BUZZ_BESTIE=1 pnpm --dir desktop build:e2e`
- `VITE_BUZZ_BESTIE=1 pnpm --dir desktop exec playwright test
--project=smoke tests/e2e/bestie.spec.ts`
- pre-commit and differential pre-push hooks

## Rollout

The UI remains gated by the `bestie` build feature. Screenshots covering
setup, empty, assigned, floating, and message-handoff states are
included in the PR discussion.

## What

Two new agent-facing capabilities in `buzz-cli`:

### 1. `buzz gifs` command group (agent KLIPY picker path)

Agents can now search and share GIFs via the relay's authenticated KLIPY
proxy without holding a provider credential.

```bash
buzz gifs search                         # trending GIFs
buzz gifs search --query "celebration"   # search GIFs
buzz gifs share --slug <slug>            # report selection to provider Recents
```

Output is a JSON array of GIF objects. Paste the `cdn_url` field
directly into `buzz messages send --content` — sending a GIF is a plain
message containing the CDN URL, no special send-path handling.

**Implementation details:**
- Gates on NIP-11 `supported_extensions` containing `buzz-gif` and
`gif.provider == "klipy"`
- Uses relay-relative paths from the NIP-11 `gif` descriptor — no
hardcoded paths; safe-path validation mirrors
`desktop/src/features/gifs/api.ts`
- New `post_json_authed` helper in `BuzzClient` handles NIP-98-signed
JSON POSTs and 204 No Content responses
- `customer_id` derived as `SHA-256(secret_key_bytes || '\0' ||
relay_url_bytes)[..16]` → 32 hex chars: stable, relay-scoped, not
computable from public data, no storage needed
- `locale` defaults to `$LANG` (stripped of encoding suffix) or `en_US`

### 2. NIP-30 custom emoji tags on outgoing messages

`buzz messages send` now automatically attaches `["emoji", shortcode,
url]` tags for any `:shortcode:` patterns in the content that resolve in
the workspace palette — identical to the desktop composer behavior.

```bash
buzz messages send --channel <uuid> --content "hello :wave: everyone :tada:"
# → event carries ["emoji", "wave", "..."] and ["emoji", "tada", "..."] tags
```

**Implementation details:**
- Hand-rolled single-pass scanner (no new dependency) implementing
`:([a-z0-9_-]+):` case-insensitively with canonical lowercase output —
mirrors `desktop/src/shared/lib/customEmojiTags.ts` exactly
- Zero extra relay round-trips when content contains no `:` character;
one `query` when candidates exist but none match
- Palette fetch reuses the existing `union_custom_emoji` logic from
`commands/emoji.rs`
- `build_message` in `buzz-sdk` gains a new `emoji_tags: &[Vec<String>]`
parameter (additive — all existing callers pass `&[]`); NIP-30 tag
attachment lives in the SDK alongside `imeta` tags
- MCP send path (`buzz-acp`) continues to pass `&[]` and is not
affected; the MCP gap is noted in a comment

## Summary

In Buzz Desktop, choosing a multi-word name and immediately continuing a
sentence could swallow the space after the mention: `Hey @alice
Chenhello`. This keeps the separator, so the same action produces `Hey
@alice Chen hello` without moving the caret or repairing the name by
hand.

The editor recognizes the complete selected label, including its
internal spaces, and settles the autocomplete caret after the trailing
separator. Deliberately moving left or clicking inside the label still
lets you edit there; this is not a rule that forces every caret to the
end of a mention.

published **ef40744b3aeb4baaf8c81416e1a644fb5b315f91** with the exact
expected-old `df7fad6a` force-with-lease. No merge.

Manual conflicts were additive: preserve main's exact-key identity
documentation alongside the availability contract, and retain both
Bestie props and the shared availability reader in
`UnifiedAgentsSection`. Range-diff confirms unchanged lifecycle policy:
exact-key action-time authority, Unknown versus Offline, rejected
shutdown retains record/memberships, and separate local/provider/owner
gates. Main's exact-key profile routing survives. Both test-only CI
synchronization repairs (natural toast expiry and bounded stderr wait)
are byte-identical to the prior head. All ten original
authors/messages/DCO/material coauthor trailers are preserved;
configured signing policy was not changed.

Fresh checks on the rebased candidate:
- TypeScript, Biome on 26 changed TypeScript files, differential
file-size gate, and diff whitespace: pass.
- Focused production-hook/card/profile units: **58/58**.
- Fresh E2E build, availability/deletion browser: **11/11**, no retries.
- Main exact-key profile cases plus failed-DM send/startup retries:
**6/6**, no retries.

Previously reviewed full Desktop/buzz-agent package and mutation
evidence is reused for unchanged behavior; no ceremonial full suite, new
native/provider test, or `just ci` pass is claimed. Local configs,
dependency links, and historical artifacts are preserved.

## Feature summary and retained pre-rebase evidence

## Summary

In Buzz Desktop, an agent could look online just because it had been
started or deployed, even when there was no current sign it was
connected. Cards and profiles now show availability from the agent's
relay presence rather than a saved launch record, so you can distinguish
an online agent from one that was merely deployed.

Agents cards and profiles use presence reported through the shared
server (the relay). A successful presence read with no online agent
shows Offline; failed/disconnected evidence shows unknown, rather than
retaining a misleading cached Online state.

Lifecycle actions remain separate. An offline agent may still have a
Shutdown action because the deployment record exists. Shutdown reports a
**request**, not proof the process stopped. Offline does not imply that
starting a duplicate agent is safe, and Online does not promise a
response.

[Capture
details](block#7127 (comment)).
To check manually, compare runtime-only transitions with presence
updates, then disconnect/fail the presence read and verify it does not
stay Online. A Shutdown request should not immediately claim confirmed
termination.

#### Historical pre-rebase evidence and limitations (df7fad6)

Lifecycle production source remains
**`f4bb2ed44e5a989d93c5f51e93c0bbd2dca941be`**. Current published head
is **`df7fad6ae65dda78508317186a95522d1bb22ed9`**: the prior browser
synchronization at `b78d093e` plus an additive two-file Rust
test-harness synchronization described below. No production bytes,
dependency/configuration files, or prior commits were changed; no
rebase. Current live main `0dbd036f5bff33e7ade75e7639f3218d424a6e73` has
identical failing-test/toaster/send-flow source; the causal browser
comparison used latest successfully tested main
`04babf02655440b4dfd37f2e2df605ead0a030d8`.

**Lifecycle/deletion correction:** both Agents and actual profile
deletion now pass the shared exact-key availability reader, not raw
cached data. It reads the canonical query state and connection at action
time, including after awaited channel discovery.
Failed/disconnected/pending evidence and unqueried persona siblings are
unknown; successful missing means Offline only for a requested key.
Successful background refetch cache remains usable; settled failure
revokes it. No second cache or per-row polling was added.

Provider record + channel + Online/Away/**unknown** awaits shutdown
submission before local removal; rejection preserves record/membership
for retry. Established Offline preserves intentional no-request removal.
No route preserves warned local removal. Local agents retain native
stop-before-remove, independent of presence. Profile consent now
describes a shutdown **request**, not remote deletion or guaranteed
termination. Existing ownership and force gates are unchanged.

**Verified, reused exact-candidate validation:** the independently
approved eleven-file patch (SHA-256
`2f69fe12ef0420e62dea1fd8db28cfa22cde5eecaf8080e656310a3e60d0cf86`) was
committed without byte changes. Desktop **5,921 passed, 0
failed/skipped**, including **26 new mounted production hook/IPC
regressions**; rebuilt availability browser suite **11/11 passed, no
retries**, including four actual profile Delete journeys. Desktop check
(existing 4 warnings/5 infos), typecheck, production/protected-feature
artifact matrix, differential file-size/policy and diff checks passed.
No blanket rerun or new full-repository `just ci` is claimed for this
frontend correction.

Production regressions cover cached Online **and Offline**
failure/disconnection, genuine missing/Offline, pending, successful
inflight refetch versus settled error, retained reader, error during
awaited channel discovery, unqueried persona sibling, shutdown
rejection/order/cancel, no route and local authority. Browser fixtures
use safe mock IPC and a retained provider receipt, not a real
deployment. Three restored mutation controls fail: unknown → skip
shutdown (**15** regressions), Agents raw-cache reader (**6**), actual
profile raw-cache caller (**1 browser journey**, false removal on failed
cached Offline). Independent review approved the exact frozen bytes and
added **4/4 cached-empty failure/disconnection probes** across both
callers. This is local independent approval, not formal GitHub/A Team
clearance.

The prior native propagation/poll-count defects remain closed ([earlier
response](block#7127 (comment))).
The prior hover-popover correction at `b55423f6` remains covered by the
full 11-journey browser run: pending/failed/disconnected means no badge
or accessible status, genuine missing/Offline retains an Offline badge.
Its earlier fallback-restoration mutation failed as expected (badge
count 1 rather than 0); that historical witness is reused, not rerun.

**Reused unchanged native/system boundary:** local `just ci` at
`c59067d8` passed workspace/Tauri fmt/clippy, static/policy checks, Rust
unit recipe, native workspace **3,159 passed / 20 ignored**, Web build
and **2,019 mobile tests**. No native implementation changed in this
lifecycle correction. These are historical boundary results, not
new-head native/live certification. [Parent
CI](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33650549130) passed with
**14 retry-recovered browser flakes**, not retry-free. Old-head
CI/reviews are not current-head clearance.

**Hosted gates:**
[CI33662151103](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33662151103)
on `f4bb2ed4` **FAILED**: smoke shard1 had 322 pass, one failure, one
retry-recovered flaky, two skipped. The failed first-DM retry test timed
out on all three attempts because the error toast intercepted Send. That
failure is preserved, not waived; the scoped test repair below is
published as `b78d093e`.
[CI33668171165](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33668171165)
on `b78d093e` subsequently **FAILED** the Rust unit budget regression
described below. Both original failures remain visible; neither was
retried to green. Exact `f4bb2ed4` and `b78d093e` APPROVED reviews cover
unchanged reviewed bytes, not formal approval of the new head. Fresh
exact-head CI and the established automated technical rereview are the
next gates for `df7fad6a`. Historical deletion responses remain
([5092381800](block#7127 (comment)),
[5092391193](block#7127 (comment))).
No formal review dismissed. The [security
notice](block#7127 (comment))
and latest-push maintainer/codeowner policy remain separate actionable
gates: eligible Block organization members own current-range
authorization. No merge/security authority exercised.

**CI causal repair (`b78d093e`, test only):** the error `Message failed
to send: Mock first DM send failed.` is deliberately injected by the
existing fixture. CI screenshot and retry trace show the bottom-right
Sonner notification over the actual enabled Send button. `fill()` leaves
the pointer parked there; Sonner pauses its 4-second lifetime while
hovered. A fast run can click before animation settles (unchanged local
test passed in 2.7s; two actual tested-main CI cases passed first
attempt in 3.3s), which does not disprove the failure. Independent
controlled browser runs on `f4bb2ed4` and tested main `04babf` both
reproduced the same toast hit-test at Send `(1203,627,32,32)`,
persistent hover beyond 4s, and intercepted ordinary click with no
second send. Moving the real pointer to the editor allows natural expiry
and successful ordinary retry, preserving all original
DM-channel/recipient assertions. This same synchronization already
exists in the neighboring agent-startup-failure test.

The one-file correction keeps the visible error assertion, scopes its
toast locator, moves the pointer back to the editor and observes normal
toast removal (bounded 10s) before retry. No forced click, direct toast
dismissal, mocked clock, CSS override, skipped test, production behavior
change, or new backend mock. Six focused browser executions pass
(first-send/startup-failure, three repeats each, no retries); the
held-toast control fails on original bytes at the Send click while the
exact repaired test passes. Biome and diff checks pass. Reuse unchanged
5,921 Desktop / 11 availability browser / four independent probes above;
no semantic production change warrants repeating those suites. Original
failed CI attempt/retries, local fast pass, deliberate failing control
and all traces remain in `WORK_LOGS/AVAILABILITY_CI_B9210A40`. Browser
evidence is mock-IPC Chromium, not native/live-relay certification. The
UI still temporarily overlays Send while a notification is hovered; the
test exercises its real move-away/expiry recovery, not immediate
click-through.

**Rust CI causal repair (`df7fad6a`, test only):** [original Rust / Unit
Tests failure,
job100375291370](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33668171165/job/100375291370)
tested GitHub merge `223dee91a396d8cb4ebf18b9b8559e5a54951235`.
`context_recovery_budget_exhaustion_surfaces_the_error` failed at
`regressions.rs:2756` in **0.091s** because its immediate stderr
snapshot lacked `context recovery budget spent`. ACP context-error
assertions had already passed. The captured prefix shows all three
budgets **32768 → 16384 → 8192 bytes**, above the 4096-byte floor, and
ends during the third attempt. This is **not evidence of floor
exhaustion**. The collector is an independent Tokio task; a stdout
response is not a stderr barrier. Recovery, harness and test blobs were
identical across the compared base/head/merge parents; no production
regression was implicated.

The shared test Harness now provides a bounded event/condition wait,
registering for collector notifications before reading the buffer to
avoid lost wakeups. The budget and adjacent terminal floor assertions
wait for their own diagnostic and retain the matching snapshot. The
budget test still requires the provider's ACP context error and exactly
three recovery rungs, now corroborated by **exactly four provider
calls** and no floor diagnostic. Timeout remains a real failure with
captured stderr. No fixed sleep, weaker assertion, skip,
provider-limit/logging change, dependency/config edit, or production
change.

**Deterministic causal control:** the same real agent/HTTP-provider/ACP
scenario holds only stderr collection behind a one-shot gate until after
stdout responds. The old immediate snapshot fails the original budget
assertion (intentional exit101); the repaired wait explicitly remains
Pending while held, then passes after release. No scheduler-speed
assumption or fixed sleep. This reproduces the observation race under
controlled delay, **not the exact historical CI schedule**. A
missing-diagnostic test proves the wait actually times out. Original
failure and deliberate failing-control logs/patch remain in
`WORK_LOGS/RUST_TRIAGE_06E32D2D` and `WORK_LOGS/RUST_SYNC_BC5758B9`.

**Final candidate validation:** focused recovery **9/9**, floor **1/1**,
absent-diagnostic timeout **1/1** pass. One full touched-package run,
`cargo test --locked -p buzz-agent`: **695 passed, 0 failed, 1 existing
ignored**, including all **54 regressions**. Local nextest was
unavailable, so this uses the repository-supported cargo-test fallback,
not a claim of nextest reproduction. `cargo fmt --check`, package-scoped
Clippy all-targets with `-D warnings`, differential file-size/policy and
diff checks pass. Previously reviewed availability production and the
Desktop/browser evidence above are unchanged and reused; no all-native
blanket rerun. The test-only delta was self-reviewed against collector
ordering, timeout and falsification evidence. Existing production
approval remains valid for those bytes; exact-new-head technical/CI
clearance is not assumed. The required **Security aggregate** is
distinct from optional Codex advisory feedback; no security
authorization, human review contact, or merge was requested.

**Remaining policy limits:** shutdown submission is not harness
acceptance or process termination; confirmed Offline/no-route local
removal may leave a remote process; route discovery is best effort,
membership cleanup uses `Promise.allSettled`, and multi-instance
deletion is sequential/non-atomic. No distributed singleton,
provider-health, tenant-switch cancellation, live relay TTL or packaged
WebView/VoiceOver certification is claimed. The pre-existing DM-header
raw-presence fallback (`ChannelScreenHeader`/`useActiveChannelHeader`)
remains outside this repair and uncertified. Screenshots above remain
historical mock-browser illustrations, not new deletion or native
transport evidence.

## Summary

Cuts perceived agent-mention send latency by publishing the message
first and waking the agent afterwards, instead of blocking the send on a
synchronous agent start/deploy round-trip. A send that mentions a
stopped or undeployed managed agent now shows the message immediately;
the wake runs fire-and-forget after the relay accepts the publish. The
already-running-agent send also gets faster via revalidation dedupe and
NIP-11 caching.

## Changes

### Publish-first agent wake

- Wakes for mentioned managed agents are collected during send
preparation and flushed fire-and-forget only after `await send(...)`
resolves. No start can fire — and no "your message was sent" toast can
appear — for a message the relay never accepted; every abort path
(cancel, readiness error, publish rejection, dismissed non-member
prompt) simply drops the queue. Persona-create wakes ride the pending
draft behind the non-member prompt for the same reason.
- Each wake is bound to the tenant scope captured at send time: the new
`useDetachedAgentStart` hook passes `expectedRelayUrl` +
`expectedSignerPubkey` with every start, so a wake that outlives a
community switch fails closed at the backend instead of spawning against
the new tenant. A wake whose scope has not resolved yet (identity query
still loading, blank stored relay URL) is refused with a recoverable
toast rather than fired unscoped.
- In-flight wakes are deduped through a module-level map keyed by
`(relay URL, pubkey)` — the same tenant pair the backend keys on — so
two quick sends or two composers cannot double-spawn a cold agent during
the seconds-long start window. Entries are deliberately retained across
community switches (the key *is* the tenant scope, so a retained entry
can never affect another community, and clearing it let an A→B→A round
trip deploy a provider agent twice) and self-clean when the start
settles.
- Wake-failure toasts are fenced to the community they fired in via a
module-level scope mirror: a start that settles after a community switch
logs instead of rendering community A's failure over community B's UI,
and an A→B→A return re-delivers the warning where it is actionable.
- Membership attach and access-policy writes stay synchronous, so the
harness's first kind-39002 read still sees the channel.

### Replay floor

- The send timestamp travels with the wake as `BUZZ_ACP_REPLAY_FLOOR`,
threaded through both local spawns (`spawn_agent_child`) and provider
deploys (`deploy_to_provider` injects it into `launch.policy_env`), so
the harness's startup watermark replays back past the just-published
triggering message no matter how long the spawn takes. `buzz-acp` clamps
the floor to `[now − 15min, now]`.
- The floor is captured at enqueue time, not flush time — the flush runs
post-publish, so a flush-time stamp could exceed the message's
`created_at` and skip the very message the floor exists to cover.
- On local spawns the caller's floor is asserted *after* the user env
layering (and the ambient parent-process value is stripped
unconditionally), so a saved persona/global/agent env entry cannot
shadow this send's floor — mirroring the shadow-strip the provider path
applies to `launch.env`. Both halves share one `REPLAY_FLOOR_ENV_VAR`
const.

### Send-path latency reductions (already-running agents)

- Mention revalidation is deduped: the publish-boundary pass reuses the
pre-side-effect authorization pass unless an awaited round-trip actually
separated the two (background upload, link-preview settlement, DM
expansion, a real access-policy/membership write, or active-huddle
enrollment). This preserves the block#5681 authorization boundary while
making the common send single-pass.
- NIP-11 `self` lookups are cached per relay URL for 5 minutes. Only
verified values are cached — non-2xx and malformed responses stay
retryable — and URL keying keeps community switches from serving another
relay's identity.
- `applyReusableAgentAccessPolicy` now reports its relay write
explicitly (`{ agent, wrote }`) instead of signalling through object
identity, so the revalidation trigger above is load-bearing by
construction.

### File splits

Four files crossed the repository file-size ratchet during this work;
one cohesive unit was extracted from each rather than raising a ceiling
— `runtime/setup_payload.rs`, `commands/agents_create_fields.rs`,
`app_state_accessors.rs`, and `useEnsureAgentMentionsReady.ts`. The
ratchet is green at the tip.

### Review follow-ups

The three concrete findings from the first review round are fixed at the
tip: the pre-publish wake and its false "your message was sent" toast
(fixed by queueing wakes behind the publish), the stale cross-community
failure toast (fixed by the scope-mirror fence), and the A→B→A duplicate
provider deploy (fixed by retaining the tenant-keyed in-flight entries
across switches). The fast-path admission-staleness point is answered in
the review thread: deferred paths already re-validate at the publish
boundary, and the remaining fast-path window is milliseconds against an
irreducible network-transit race.

Mid-branch send-perf instrumentation was added to attribute the residual
spinner latency and reverted once that analysis concluded — it is
net-zero in this diff.

### Deferred follow-ups

Durable mention catch-up via `event_mentions` (option 2 step 3) and
backend deploy-epoch coalescing for the wake paths that do not funnel
through `useDetachedAgentStart` (Agents-panel Start, restore,
inbound-persona deploys) are intentionally left for separate changes.

## Testing

- `cargo test --lib` on desktop/src-tauri: 3054 passed; clippy `-D
warnings` + fmt clean
- Desktop unit tests: 5856 passed (the 5 failures are the pre-existing
`inboxReopenNavigation` / `useRetainedProjectGitViews` baseline, present
on origin/main); `tsc --noEmit` and biome clean
- Full mentions (87), channels (89), and community-rail (25) Playwright
smoke suites against `pnpm build:e2e` bundles, with 3× stress reruns of
each new spec
- The load-bearing regression specs were confirmed red on the pre-fix
code: publish-failure → zero starts and no false toast, the dedupe hold
(1 call vs 2), the fail-closed scope refusal, the rail-switch toast
fence, and the A→B→A retention spec (1 deploy vs 2)
- New unit coverage pins the queue contract (enqueue-time floors,
attach-seam queueing), the scope capture and verbatim relay-URL handoff,
the dedupe map's keying and settle-then-repermit behavior, the unscoped
refusal, the toast-scope mirror, the `{ agent, wrote }` contract, and
the replay-floor env layering on both spawn paths

…st timing (block#7270)

## What

Two remaining E2E hardening fixes from the Desktop Smoke flake pattern
introduced by `ac5a18697` (Bestie — added `VITE_BUZZ_BESTIE=1` to
`.env.e2e` and mounted `BestieGlobalOverlay` globally).

The toast/DM-retry fix landed independently in main via block#7127
(`input.hover()` + bounded `toHaveCount` wait); that hunk is dropped
from this PR.

## Fixes

### `agent-control-regressions.spec.ts:240` — Stop does not accept an
unconfirmed or foreign-channel result

**Cause:** Playwright 1.60.0's `page.clock.install()` fakes all timers
including `requestAnimationFrame`. The test called it before opening the
settings menu. With RAF frozen, the `DropdownMenuContent`'s `zoom-in-95
duration-150` CSS enter-animation never advances — Playwright's
stability check observes a continuously-changing bounding box until the
30s test timeout.

**Fix:** Re-sequence so the menu is opened on real time first. After
`openAgentActivity`, open the trigger, assert visibility/enabled, call
`waitForAnimations(page)` to settle the enter-animation (real
`setTimeout`, no fake clock installed yet), then install the clock. The
`fastForward(8_001)` correlation timeout still works because it's
scheduled after the clock is active. Pointer actionability preserved —
normal `stop.click()` (no `force`) fails with pointer-interception under
a covering surface.

### `message-feedback-snapshots.spec.ts:97` — profile hover uses the
channel hover surface

**Cause:** `channel.hover()` triggers a CSS `transition-colors`
animation. With the Bestie `LayoutGroup` mounted, `evaluate()` captures
a mid-transition background value that never matches the profile card's
settled token.

**Fix:** `waitForAnimations(page)` after `channel.hover()` and before
reading `channelHoverColor`.

## Evidence

- Target specs pass: stop-turn 8/8, profile-hover passes.
- Full `agent-control-regressions.spec.ts` (7 tests) green.
- `just desktop-typecheck` clean at pushed head `0fbfe2a9f`.
- No production code changed.

## Summary
- Let Markdown tables use the available message width instead of their
maximum-content width, inheriting the renderer's existing
`wrap-anywhere` handling for long tokens and links.
- Top-align header cells as well as body cells. Give cells a `min-w-24`
readability floor so short labels do not collapse into one-letter
columns; retain the existing table-local scrollbar when many columns
genuinely cannot fit.
- Preserve semantic table markup, links, inline code, and surrounding
message layout. Add three browser regressions through the real message
renderer (channel, narrow thread, and many-column overflow).

- Chromium / mock Tauri bridge: all 3 new Playwright tests passed
against the fixed candidate build. Both wrapping tests fail on the
unchanged base build, while the overflow-fallback test passes. Each
browser run used a unique output directory and a non-reused local server
pinned to its build directory.
- At 883px channel message width: table scroll width **1,395 → 883px**.
At 292px thread message width: **1,395 → 292px**. All cells top-aligned;
long tokens/URLs wrap, link destinations and code text remain intact,
short labels stay on one line, and document width remains 1,280px.
- Focused fresh-frame review checked actual before/after screenshots and
the complete diff. It caught one-letter label wrapping in an early
width-only candidate; the final cell-width floor and regression
assertion address that finding.

Limitations: native Tauri/WebKit and relay-backed integration were not
exercised for this CSS-only delta. Repository-wide `just ci` was
attempted but exceeded the local command budget during unrelated Rust
compilation; it is **not** reported green. The full affected TypeScript
package gates above passed on the exact candidate. Production/E2E builds
retain existing chunk-size and mixed static/dynamic import warnings.

Before/after screenshots are posted below using the repository's
screenshot publication script. No merge, production installation, or
runtime restart is requested.


### CI-driven test-only follow-up
Current head: `925d964b6cf31ba704d74baf73769110774b2789`.

Smoke shard 3 exposed an older test in `messaging.spec.ts:457` that
still required three columns of ordinary prose to overflow horizontally
([failure
log](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33771325404/job/100702242706)).
This expectation contradicts the intended wrapping change. Updated its
name and assertion to require containment; the separate many-column
local-scroll test is unchanged. No production code or harness settings
changed in this follow-up.

- Affected browser validation: **4/4 passed** (updated existing
prose/narrow table case plus the three new channel/thread/overflow
cases).
- Reused the immutable `4427f2e6` E2E build on a fresh non-reused
server; production source is unchanged at the current head. The
package/build checks above remain evidence for that unchanged production
tree, not a claim of rerunning the full suite at the new SHA.
- Targeted Biome check, file-size gate, and `git diff --check` passed.
- Current-head CI:
https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33773490446
- Prior unrelated Bestie baseline failure and reproduction:

…block#7278)

Adds the media/Blossom possession-proof exception section to
\`docs/nips/NIP-FI.md\`.

## What this changes

Encodes the condition set confirmed by Thufir's security review
(2026-09-03) as normative MUSTs in NIP-FI. Kind-24242 Blossom auth
events are admitted as the NIP-FI pairing possession proof for **media
routes only** — a named, bounded exception with an explicit precedent
fence against expansion.

### Scope fence

Kind-24242 proofs are valid only on:

| Proof type (`t` tag) | Valid route | Method |
|---|---|---|
| `upload` | `PUT /upload` (and temporary alias `PUT /media/upload`
until removed) | PUT |
| `get` | `GET /media/{hash…}`, `HEAD /media/{hash…}` | GET, HEAD |

All other protected routes MUST reject kind-24242 proofs.

### Upload proofs

Exactly one `x` tag over consumed body bytes; temporal check precedes
body consumption.

### Read proofs (the relaxation Will approved)

Host-wide MAY: no `x` required. Exactly one `server` tag matching the
resolved tenant host is a MUST. Optional `x` must match parent hash if
present.

Named residual (verbatim in spec): within at most 60 seconds from
minting (plus 5s future-skew), a captured full header set allows reading
any media blob on exactly one tenant host — read-only,
membership-checked, revocable, not state-changing, not cross-tenant.

### Freshness (Thufir option 2)

- `created_at <= now + 5s` (bounded future skew)
- `now - created_at <= 60s`
- Exactly one `expiration`, valid at admission, satisfying `expiration
<= created_at + 60s`

### Transport/cardinality

Exactly one each of `Authorization` (Nostr scheme), `t`, `expiration`,
`server`; `x` at most once; reject any duplicate, malformed, or
conflicting instance.

### Per-request pairing

Full assertion verification, exact key equality between assertion
`nostr_pubkey` and kind-24242 signer, deny-map enforcement on every
request. Stub gap named.

### Compliance note

PR block#7264 implementation is explicitly non-compliant until the bounded
hardening task lands (named gaps: multi-tag acceptance, 3600s window,
optional `server`).

## Behavioral oracle

`FI-TRACE-HTTP-INGRESS` extended to cover kind-24242 admission and
denial cases.

## Scope

Docs-only. No code changes. The code hardening is a separate follow-on
task.

## Why

Early relay failures can currently appear as a container restart without
a trustworthy in-process account of whether crypto, structured logging,
configuration, relay identity, or the metrics listener failed. Most of
those steps happen before the Prometheus exporter exists, so their
chronology belongs in logs rather than metrics.

Implements the logs-only early-startup slice of block#7238. Post-bind
Prometheus exporter supervision is tracked separately in block#7284.

## What changed

- create a process lifecycle recorder before the Tokio runtime and emit
a fixed, versioned JSON schema directly to stderr;
- record started and exactly one terminal event for `crypto_init`,
`tracing_init`, `config_load`, `key_load`, `metrics_bind`, and the
aggregate `process_telemetry` phase;
- keep every status and reason bounded and suppress raw errors that
could contain credentials, keys, URLs, or other secrets;
- return typed metrics-install errors so `metrics_bind` can be
classified without logging raw values, while preserving the existing
public `metrics::install` API;
- document the logs-only evidence contract and add real child-process
regressions for success and failure paths.

This PR adds **no startup metric families** and no dashboard contract.
Existing application metrics remain unchanged.

## Verification

Exact head: `8faf7526822a119efa035e58b2b3c59aa67fc81d`

- three independent exact-head reviews found no correctness, security,

All exact-head GitHub CI gates are green, including lint, unit tests,

## What

Extend `scripts/buzz-adopt-prod-agents.sh` to copy
`agents/global-agent-config.json` from the prod app-data store to dev as
part of the existing atomic bundle commit, and document what the script
cannot copy (baked build-time defaults).

## Why

`global-agent-config.json` holds the owner's global agent defaults
(`env_vars`, `provider`, `model`, `preferred_runtime`). Previously the
script carried the dev copy across verbatim — it was absent from the
bundle drop list and not in `RECORD_FILES`. After a `just reset`, the
dev build inherited stale global defaults (or none at all) instead of
mirroring prod, inconsistent with how all other bundle files are
handled.

The "WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO" header lacked any mention of baked
build-time defaults, which are a separate (and common) source of
prod/dev parity confusion.

## Changes

- **`RECORD_FILES`** — add `global-agent-config.json`. The file has no
volatile fields (`GlobalAgentConfig` struct =
`env_vars`/`provider`/`model`/`preferred_runtime`), so it joins the
verbatim-copy path already used by `teams.json` — no new transform.
- **Stage-seed block** — add `global-agent-config.json` to the `rm -rf`
drop list so the prod overlay replaces it cleanly; remove its stale
mention in the "carried verbatim" comment.
- **Docs/comments** — update "4-file bundle" → "5-file bundle" in the
DMG concurrent-run warning and the step 2 comment; list the file
explicitly in the step 2 header comment.
- **"WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO" header** — add a bullet explaining that
baked build-time agent defaults (`BUZZ_BUILD_BUZZ_AGENT_PROVIDER` /
`BUZZ_BUILD_AGENT_ENV` via `option_env!` in `build.rs`) are compiled
into the binary, not stored in app-data. Includes the correct `just
production` invocation pattern and a `.env` warning.
- **Preflight symlink checks and dry-run output** iterate `RECORD_FILES`
and pick up the new entry automatically — no other changes needed.

Verified: `bash -n` clean, `shellcheck` clean, `--dry-run --force` shows
`[dry-run] stage global-agent-config.json (0600)` in the expected
position.

Copying a message out of the timeline lost the mention. The rendered
chip drops
the `@` for display, so the clipboard carried "John Smith" — two
ordinary words
no composer could bind back to a pubkey. Pasting into another channel
produced
dead text, and sending it tagged nobody.

## What changed

Every Buzz copy now writes two clipboard flavors in one transaction:

- **`text/plain`** — readable anywhere, sigils restored, no pubkeys.
This is what
  TextEdit, Slack, and every other external app receive.
- **`text/html`** — the same content with each mention wrapped in a span
carrying
  `data-mention-pubkey` / `-label` / `-kind`.

On paste, the composer harvests those records, registers each `name →
pubkey`
with the existing mention machinery, and inserts the content: the chip
re-lights
and the send path recovers the identity the author tagged. A marker
attribute
records what the plain flavor holds, so a Markdown copy pastes through
the text
pipeline and a rendered copy through the HTML one.

**Covered surfaces:** timeline selection copy, thread-panel selection
copy,
forum post/reply selection copy, "Copy message", and composer copy/cut —
plus
paste in both the channel and forum composers.

## Trust boundary

Clipboard HTML is untrusted, and the branch treats it that way:

- Records are capped (50), labels bounded (200 chars), and a pubkey must
be
  64 hex before it can become a `p` tag.
- **Only mentions the paste actually shows are registered.** An empty
`<span data-mention-pubkey=… -label="Jane Doe">` would otherwise rebind
that
display name for the rest of the composer session, so a later
hand-written
@jane Doe would chip-light convincingly against the attacker's key. Each
  branch registers only the records whose label appears in the text *it*
inserts, matched with `getMentionOffsets` — the same matcher the
send-time
  extractor uses.
- **The visibility gate reads only what ProseMirror will insert.**
`DOMParser` hard-drops `script`, `style`, `title`, `noscript`, `object`,
and
`head` content, so `visible<style>@jane Doe</style>` beside an empty
chip span
used to smuggle a binding past the gate. Those elements are stripped
before
  either output is derived.
- **A partial chip never gains a sigil.** A selection crossing a chip
boundary
falls through to the browser's default copy, which serializes the full
identity
attributes around a slice of the text — pasting that invented "@smith"
out of
"John Smith". Paste now leaves a fragment as plain text, tolerating only
what a
whole chip picks up in transit (restored sigil, author casing, U+00A0
swaps,
  and the label cap's own ellipsis).

Both clipboard sides share one `matchChipTextToLabel` helper, in the
module that
owns the label attributes, so copy and paste cannot drift on what counts
as a
whole chip.

## Notes

- Mention matching reuses `getMentionOffsets`, so code spans and fences
are
  excluded and the longest display name wins.
- The plain flavor inlines chip boxes before reading `innerText`; a chip
is a
flex container, so the browser's own copy split "@john Smith" onto its
own line.
- `MarkdownMention` and `MacEmacsTextShortcuts` are extracted verbatim
from
`markdown.tsx` and `useRichTextEditor.ts` to keep both files under the
size gate.

## Testing

- ~40 unit tests over the flavor builder/parser, the visibility filter,
the
  ignored-tag sweep, and the chip-match verdicts.
- A Playwright spec (`desktop/tests/e2e/mention-clipboard.spec.ts`)
driving real
  copy/cut/paste DOM events: timeline and "Copy message" of a multi-word
non-member mention pasted into another channel and sent with the
original
pubkey in its `p` tag; the forum copy → forum reply round trip; composer
  copy/cut; plain flavor asserted to contain no 64-hex string; the
boundary-crossing drag; and the hidden-record and `<style>` smuggling
vectors.
- Every regression test is bound to a production seam and fails with its
guard
  removed.
- `just ci` / pre-push lanes green (5927 desktop unit tests, typecheck,
lint,
  file-size gate).

## Buzz Desktop release v0.5.22

- **Frozen main:** `75f101d8b4f5b4b26f9891b73b87c67fedac25a0`
- **Reviewed candidate:** `9ceb1f79bbc21785a0a075c40aecb3c058b1ea15`
- **Previous desktop release:** `desktop-v0.5.20`
- **Proposed immutable tag:** `desktop-v0.5.22`

This PR may be **squash merged** after the Desktop Release Candidate
check and all protected-branch checks pass. Merging authorizes
publication of the exact reviewed candidate; later or unrelated changes
on `main` cannot alter it.

The checked-in changelog accounts for every non-merge commit in the
release range. The Desktop tag points to the reviewed candidate commit,
not the later squash commit. Publication remains bound to that immutable
candidate tag.

## Why

NIP-29 membership authorization for kinds 9000, 9001, and 9022 was
embedded in a large async handler, requiring Postgres and Redis to test
and repeating the last-owner rule across five call sites. This addresses
[TheSentinel454#24](TheSentinel454#24)
without adding the broader state/repository abstraction suggested there
because HTTP and WebSocket writes already share ingestion.

## What

- Extract pure, typed membership authorization decisions while leaving
database reads and mutations in `validate_admin_event`.
- Preserve existing client-visible errors and independent database
last-owner safeguards.
- Collapse five last-owner policy restatements into one predicate and
share the identical self-departure policy.
- Include the relay decision modules in `just test-unit`, so these tests
execute in CI.

## Risk Assessment

Medium-low. This touches production relay authorization, but
intentionally preserves wire behavior and database defense in depth;
exhaustive decision tables and relay-backed tests cover the affected
paths.

## Simplification

This removes repeated policy from the orchestration path and makes the
rule set directly testable without introducing a repository trait or
second transport path.

## Verification

Verified at `15255a090797f85874921120003c645962fefaed`:

- `just test-unit` — all 10 package summaries passed. An initial run hit
two unrelated timing-sensitive `buzz-acp` failures; the complete retry
passed 905/905 in that package.
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `just file-size-check` — 10/10 policy tests passed.
- `just security-review-check` — 13/13 tests passed.
- Push preflight — `push-head-scope`, `branch-skew`, `file-size-check`,
`rust-tests`, and `desktop-tauri-checks` passed.
- Blox Postgres relay lane — 84/84 at the byte-identical source patch;
full live `e2e_relay` behavior matched the clean base (45 pass and the
same pre-existing kind:9002 failure on each).

Reconciles 30 upstream commits with the fork's carries. Notable resolutions:

- CI: upstream block#7168 split ci.yml into reusable `_ci-*.yml` workflows. The
  fork's carries were ported onto that structure — the compiled-flag state
  matrix and its `changes` output, the Desktop Core / Desktop Tauri split,
  the disabled smoke-E2E and compiled-flag lanes, the `Justfile` path-filter
  case fix, the auto-merge and path-filter contracts, the mac-only gating of
  the mobile/Windows lanes (gated in both the lane and its required check),
  the read-only relay E2E filter, and the `CI Complete` aggregator, now
  needing the reusable-workflow callers.
- buzz-acp: upstream landed its own replay floor via `--replay-floor` /
  `BUZZ_ACP_REPLAY_FLOOR` config. Took `startup_watermark_with_floor`, kept
  the fork's shared `buzz_core::relay::REPLAY_FLOOR_MAX_AGE_SECS` (the
  buzz-waker contract) and its wake-latency budget tests.
- Desktop Rust: kept the fork's `agents_deploy.rs` and ported upstream's
  `provider_deploy.rs` changes into it, including the per-invocation
  `replay_floor_unix` payload injection; took upstream's `app_state`
  accessor and discovery `catalog.rs` extractions and re-applied the fork's
  Waggle branding; dropped upstream's duplicate `agents_create_fields.rs`
  and `child_rust_log_filter`.
- Desktop TS: adopted upstream's availability reader as the single presence
  authority in the members sidebar and profile panel, kept the fork's
  unresolved-presence lifecycle guard, bounded bulk respawn (now carrying
  upstream's start fence), and community-scoped mention/agent carries.

Fork divergence recorded in tests: `useAgentAvailability.test.mjs` now
asserts the fork's presence-routed provider control label, because routing
it off the retained deployment receipt leaves a dead remote agent
unrecoverable.

Gates run: cargo check --workspace --all-targets, Tauri cargo check,
clippy, fmt-check, file-size-check, desktop tsc, desktop unit tests
(6374 passing).

…he receipt

Two CI failures on the fork-sync merge, with different causes.

**The profile tab regression was a bad merge resolution.** Upstream block#7131
removed the requested-instance pin from `useCanonicalManagedAgentProfile`,
but kept it in `UserProfilePanel`, where it also guards the target-change
effect that resets view/tab. The merge dropped the concept entirely, so
every explicit instance click snapped back to summary/info and lost
`profileTab=runtime` — caught by `profile.spec.ts` ("an older agent message
stays exact while persona navigation selects the live instance"), which
failed 3/3. Restored to upstream's shape: panel-owned
`requestedInstancePubkey`, the `preserveRequestedInstance` guard, and the
pin write in `onOpenInstance`.

**The control label divergence is resolved in upstream's favour.** The fork
routed a provider agent's primary control off relay presence so a
deployed-but-dead agent could still offer Deploy. Upstream routes it off the
retained deployment receipt and pins that in two contract tests
(`useAgentAvailability.test.mjs` and `agent-availability.spec.ts`, the latter
failing 3/3 here). Upstream is right on the safety argument: offline presence
is not proof the harness is gone, so deploying off it can start a SECOND body
against a live one — and recovery from a dead remote agent is still available
as request-shutdown-then-deploy. Adopted upstream's routing for the label, the
icon, and the action behind them, and dropped the unresolved-presence hold
that existed only to protect the presence-routed control.

`isManagedAgentLive` survives as the presence axis for the wake path
(`agentWake.ts`), which asks a different question — is there a harness there
to receive this mention — and keeps its own tests. Its doc comment now says
which axis is which and why the control does not use it. The fork test that
pinned the old label was rewritten to assert the receipt contract, and the
adapted assertion in upstream's unit test was reverted to upstream's original.

Verified: desktop unit tests 6374 passing, `tsc` clean, `just desktop-check`
exit 0, and both previously-failing Playwright specs pass locally
(agent-availability 11 passed, profile 33 passed).
