A message sent into a dead socket ended up as failed — attachments even
stayed on "sending" forever — and only the user could send it again by
hand. Mobile NAT drops idle TCP silently, so neither side knew.
- pingInterval on the WebSocket, so the client notices a dead link itself
- outbox: after every reconnect, stuck messages are re-sent (batch of 30,
up to a day old); permanent errors are not retried
- sendAttachment gained the try/catch it was missing, otherwise the
attachment never reached the outbox
- de-duplicate by message id: a retry re-sends the SAME message, which
would otherwise show up twice on the other side
Settings crashed with a TypeError: the profile card passed a
SepotFingerprint object where the localized string formatter expects
a String (hidden behind a `dynamic` parameter). Also fixes RangeError
in avatar initials (empty names, double spaces) and switches initials
to grapheme clusters so emoji don't get split.
New photo preview screen: a captured or picked photo no longer sends
immediately — it opens in a preview with freehand drawing (7 colours,
undo), draggable text overlay, 90° rotation and a caption field.
Nothing leaves the device until Send is tapped.
Incoming-content hardening: decryption and content processing are now
separated in the delivery path. Once an envelope is decrypted the
ratchet has advanced, so redelivery can never help — permanently
malformed content (FormatException/TypeError) is acked and dropped
instead of poisoning the queue on every reconnect. Attachment metadata
now validates base64 of the crypto fields up front, and a corrupt
inline thumbnail no longer breaks bubble rendering.
PNG without real transparency (screenshots, edited photos) is now
re-encoded as JPEG — several times smaller on the wire.
Tests: 116 (new widget tests for Settings and the photo preview,
AttachmentMeta wire validation).
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/).
