## Summary
- make mobile unread state visible with bold channel names, an animated
Inbox badge, and swipe-to-toggle Inbox rows
- add directional transitions for top-level mobile navigation
- let mobile send while media uploads, with cancellable progress UI
- normalize iOS and Android video uploads, attach poster frames, and
improve native video playback
## Validation
- `just mobile-check`
- `just mobile-test`
- `cargo test -p buzz-media`
- Pixel smoke test
- iPhone smoke test
Desktop background uploads moved to #4522 so the two platforms can be
reviewed independently.

**Category:** improvement
**User Impact:** Mobile users can sort each channel group by recent
activity or A–Z, with their choices synchronized with desktop.
**Problem:** Desktop supports persistent per-group channel sorting, but
mobile shows the same groups without equivalent controls or shared
preferences. The earlier mobile attempt coupled sorting to unsafe
dirty-state behavior that could overwrite newer cross-client changes.
**Solution:** Add mobile sorting controls and encrypted NIP-78
synchronization using the existing desktop `channel-sort` contract,
while retaining ordinary whole-blob last-write-wins behavior. Local
state is scoped by identity and normalized relay, startup closes
fetch/subscription gaps, and both clients use the same deterministic
ordering rules.
<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>
**desktop/src/features/sidebar/lib/channelSortPreference.test.mjs**
Updates ordering coverage for the deterministic, cross-client A–Z
comparison rule.
**desktop/src/features/sidebar/lib/channelSortPreference.ts**
Aligns desktop channel-name collation with mobile so synchronized
preferences produce the same visible order.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_sort/channel_sort_manager.dart**
Adds encrypted relay synchronization with safe startup gap handling,
clock checks, and ordinary last-write-wins conflicts.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_sort/channel_sort_provider.dart**
Scopes sort state to the active identity and community lifecycle.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_sort/channel_sort_storage.dart**
Defines the desktop-compatible payload, relay-scoped cache and
migration, cleanup, and shared ordering behavior.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channels_page.dart**
Connects sort state to the channel page.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channels_page/body.dart**
Applies each selected order to Starred, custom groups, Channels, and
DMs.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channels_page/sections.dart**
Adds checked Recent and A–Z actions using the existing anchored-popover
UI.
**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_sort/channel_sort_manager_test.dart**
Covers payload adoption, encrypted publication, conflicts, timestamps,
retries, and cleanup.
**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_sort/channel_sort_storage_test.dart**
Covers parsing, relay isolation, migration, cleanup, and ordering modes.
**mobile/test/features/channels/channels_page_test.dart**
Verifies the group controls expose both choices.
</details>
### Reproduction steps
1. Open the mobile channel list with populated built-in and custom
groups.
2. Open a group menu and choose **Sort: Recent**; confirm active
channels move to the top.
3. Choose **Sort: A–Z**; confirm deterministic alphabetical ordering
returns.
4. Repeat for Starred, a custom group, Channels, and DMs.
5. Open desktop with the same identity and community and confirm each
synchronized preference.
6. Switch communities and confirm cached preferences do not bleed across
relays.
### Screenshots
Approved `live` custom-section flow with `research` kept offscreen.

### Validation
- Mobile `flutter analyze` — clean
- Focused mobile sort and channel-page suites — 37/37 passed
- Desktop full suite — 3906/3906 passed
- Mobile full suite — 1034 passed, 1 skipped, 1 unrelated baseline

## Overview
**Category:** improvement
**User Impact:** Mobile users can now access consistent channel and DM
actions from both the channel list and conversation header.
**Problem:** Mobile channel menus exposed a narrower, inconsistent set
of actions than desktop, and the available actions differed by entry
point.
**Solution:** This change introduces one reusable action sheet with a
clear quick-action hierarchy, role-aware lifecycle controls,
confirmations for consequential actions, and a deliberately narrower DM
menu.
## Changes
<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_actions_sheet.dart**
Adds the shared channel and DM action-sheet experience used by both
entry points, including Star/Unstar and Read/Unread quick actions for
channels, section movement, mute, management, inline copy actions,
guarded lifecycle actions, confirmations, and a compact DM menu without
quick actions.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_detail_page.dart**
Routes the header ellipsis through the shared action sheet so the
in-channel menu matches the channel-list experience, including for DMs.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_management_provider.dart**
Adds archive and delete operations using the desktop-compatible relay
event kinds and refreshes channel state after completion.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channels_page.dart**
Makes the shared channel action-sheet entry point available to the
channel-list implementation.
**mobile/lib/features/channels/channels_page/channel_tile.dart**
Replaces the tile-specific long-press menu with the reusable action
sheet while preserving read state and section context.
**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_actions_sheet_test.dart**
Covers action hierarchy, owner/admin/member capability guards, loading
and failure states, DM narrowing with no quick-action row, and inline
copy actions.
**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_detail_page_test.dart**
Updates channel-header flows to exercise management through the new
shared action sheet.
**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_management_provider_test.dart**
Verifies archive and delete event tags stay compatible with desktop
behavior.
</details>
## Reproduction Steps
1. Run the mobile app and open a populated channel list.
2. Long-press a regular channel and verify the Star/Unstar and
Read/Unread quick actions appear above Move to section…, Mute, Manage,
Copy channel name, and Copy channel ID.
3. Choose either copy action and verify it copies the expected value.
4. Open a channel, tap the header ellipsis, and verify the same action
sheet appears.
5. As an admin or owner, verify Archive appears; as an owner, verify
Delete also appears. Confirm that lifecycle actions require
confirmation.
6. Long-press or open the header menu for a DM and verify it has no
quick-action row and starts with Mute, followed by Copy channel name and
Copy channel ID.

## Summary
- replace mobile connecting and reconnecting banners with element-shaped
skeletons for channel lists and message timelines
- add a low-contrast two-second shimmer and same-slot reveal, with
reduced-motion support
- align top, section, loaded-row, and skeleton label columns
## Why
Connection banners shifted content and did not match the desktop loading
treatment. The skeletons preserve layout and make reconnects less
disruptive.
## Testing
- `just mobile-check`
- `just mobile-test` — 704 passed, 1 skipped
- Pixel 10 visual verification in loaded and reconnecting states

## Summary
- reorganize mobile settings around profile, appearance, and connection
cards
- add System/Light/Dark theme pairing, accent selection, and the Buzz
gradient theme
- align avatar badges, status editing, and supporting mobile chrome
## Test plan
- `just mobile-check`
- `just mobile-test`
## Summary
- Refine mobile navigation with icon-only tabs, haptics, a solid active
state, and spring quick actions.
- Bring Create channel and New message closer to desktop with radio
settings, keyboard submission, relay people, and wrapped recipient
chips.
- Keep both sheets draggable below the status area and prevent keyboard
overflow with many recipients.
## Testing
- `just mobile-check`
- `just mobile-test`
- Pixel 10 manual verification
Mobile's ChannelSection model dropped desktop's optional `icon` field, so any
mobile section mutation republished the whole-blob LWW channel-sections event
with every icon stripped — wiping sidebar section emojis on all devices. Now
mobile round-trips the icon through storage/sync, preserves it across all
mutations and the publish no-op check, and renders it in section headers
(native glyph or registered custom emoji; unknown shortcodes fall back to
literal text).
