## Summary
Every identity-name source change (a profile batch, a verified name)
rebuilds a channel's naming scope over its whole member list. In a
4,000-member channel, each rebuild derived every key's naming fact more
than once: owner loading and resolution each derived it, and so did each
label for a key outside the scope. It also checked every key against a
regular expression several times, and iOS AOT builds run regular
expressions in an interpreter.
- `IdentityNames` derives each key's naming fact once per scope.
- `isHexPubkey`: a character-loop hex check, used by the identity-name
code instead of the regular expressions.
Labels are unchanged.
## Measurements
These were taken with an earlier version of this PR that also cached
npub encoding. That cache was removed to keep the change small, so the
remaining gain is smaller than shown. I haven't re-measured it.
- **Synthetic** (Mac, `flutter test`, 4,391 members, 60% with profiles;
scope, `missingOwnerProfiles` and every label for each new sources
object): a warm rebuild took 63 ms before and 12 ms with the cache. The
first rebuild took 120 ms before and 91 ms with the cache.
- **Device** (iPhone 12 mini, Profile build, first 5 s after opening
#announcements with 4,391 members; runs not matched):
`channelIdentityNamesProvider` plus `watchChannelIdentityLabel`
inclusive CPU was 148 ms before and 81 ms with the cache. Of that,
`fullNpub` (npub encoding, the cached part) went from 62 ms to 22 ms.
The identity path no longer calls `RegExp.hasMatch`.
## Testing
- A new test counts profile lookups. Owner loading, every label and an
outside key read each member's profile once. Without the memo, each is
read 3 times.
- New `isHexPubkey` tests cover both cases, wrong lengths, characters
just outside each range, and a bad character at every position.
- `just mobile-check mobile-test` passes.

## Summary
In the mobile app, anyone who hasn't set a display name shows up as a
raw 64-character hex key (e.g. `3a5d4f9c…`) — unreadable, and
unrecognizable as the same identity across screens. Profile and Settings
also let you copy that raw hex. Nostr public keys have a standard
readable form — `npub1…`, the same encoding other Nostr apps and our
desktop app already display. This PR makes every mobile identity surface
render npub instead:
- **Unnamed people everywhere** — message and thread authors, reactions,
typing indicators, member lists, channel details, DM headers and tiles,
inbox, search, forum cards, Pulse notes and reply context, mention
suggestions, and invite rows — now show a compact npub label: first 8 +
last 4 characters of the full npub joined by an ellipsis
(`npub1abcd…wxyz`), the same truncation desktop uses. Previously these
showed truncated raw hex.
- **DM fallback avatars and blank names** — 1:1 DM tiles and headers key
their fallback avatar to the same non-self counterpart the label names,
including self-first participant order; a self-DM keeps its
hex-key-derived initial. Blank or whitespace-only display names fall
back to the compact npub instead of rendering empty, while nonblank
authored names render verbatim (padding included).
- **Profile sheet → "Copy public key"** now copies the full canonical
npub — never raw hex. When the identity string isn't a valid public key,
the copy tile is disabled, so a malformed key never reaches the
clipboard.
- **Settings → Identity (pubkey)** displays and copies the full npub; an
invalid identity reads "Identity unavailable" with copy disabled.
- **Invalid identities never leak truncated raw hex** into the UI
anywhere — they render a neutral "Unknown identity" label.
- **Unchanged on purpose:** display names and verified handles (NIP-05 —
the `name@domain` badge) still render as before. Unnamed avatars keep
distinct per-key initials, derived from the underlying hex key rather
than the npub — otherwise every unnamed key would render the same "N"
initial. Event IDs are not public keys, so they keep their hex
truncation (in Pulse's "Replying to", the parent author shows npub while
an event-id fallback still shows hex). The nevent share link, private
keys, and internal hex storage are untouched. Inputs that accept a key
(invite/member entry) accept both hex and npub and keep working in hex
internally.
### Related issue
N/A. Searched open issues/PRs for npub identity display on mobile —
closest related: none found. Desktop's parallel npub standardization
lives in the stacked desktop PRs (#7488 foundation, #7489 controls,
#7495 display surfaces); this is the independent mobile slice (based
directly on `main`, not on those branches).
### Testing
At exact head `5a620e420a1fd57d9d8011ac26434eed32fcf765` (base: `main`
`44316ff72`; 40 files, +1,345/−154):
- Full mobile suite: 2,098 tests passing (`cd mobile && flutter test`);
`flutter analyze` clean; `dart format --set-exit-if-changed .` clean —
the same checks CI runs.
- Widget/unit coverage at production seams: compact labels and hex-keyed
avatar initials for DM headers/tiles, member rows, mention suggestions,
and Pulse reply context; DM fallback avatars keyed to the labeled
counterpart (self-first order and self-DMs); blank/whitespace
display-name npub fallback with nonblank authored labels verbatim,
including the Activity inbox sender and profile-sheet heading (each with
its own empty/whitespace production-seam regression); full-npub copy and
disabled-copy semantics in profile and settings; invalid-key
suppression; and hex↔npub input round-trips.
Verified via unit and widget tests — no device/simulator validation is
claimed.
