Protocol and relay groundwork for typing indicators and 1:1 calls.
- ContentHint.EPHEMERAL: delivered only to an online recipient, never
queued or pushed; the sender gets Receipt.STATUS_DROPPED otherwise.
- ContentHint.CALL: a call offer is queued like a normal message, but an
offline recipient is woken immediately — a PushKit VoIP push on iOS
(priority 10, 45 s expiry) or a short-lived FCM data message on
Android. The relay learns that a device is being called, not by whom.
- RegisterPush.voip_token stores the iOS VoIP token next to the regular
APNs token (migration 0004).
- TurnRequest/TurnCredentials: logged-in devices receive time-limited
coturn credentials (use-auth-secret REST scheme, HMAC-SHA1), so the
TURN server is never an open relay. Configured with SEPOT_TURN_URLS and
SEPOT_TURN_SECRET or SEPOT_TURN_SECRET_FILE; without them calls fall
back to direct connections and STUN.
The delivery-attempt cap reads and increments message_queue.attempt_count,
but the published init schema never created that column. On a fresh
database every queue flush failed, so queued messages were never handed
out after a reconnect.
The column is added in a new migration with IF NOT EXISTS, so installs
that already carry it from an older init schema migrate as a no-op.
Initial public release. Anonymous on-device identity (no phone number,
e-mail, or password), Signal-protocol cryptography (X3DH + PQXDH, Double
Ratchet, sealed sender) via libsignal, a metadata-minimizing relay,
group chats, disappearing messages, encrypted local storage, optional
Tor transport, and a UI localized into Czech, English, German, Russian,
and Italian.
Monorepo: Flutter client (app/), Rust relay + wire types (rust/),
protobuf definitions (proto/), self-host deploy (deploy/).
