Mobile onboarding could reject valid large legal documents, stay busy
after closing Android browser sign-in, and hide pairing-import errors
behind the community-link form. This change bounds join-policy responses
at 4 MiB while retaining 64 KiB for other responses, handles Android
browser cancellation through the native lifecycle/channel, keeps Cancel
sign-in usable, and shows friendly pairing errors on the landing screen
with a live-region announcement. Identity mismatch checks remain intact.
The browser-cancellation implementation incorporates the candidate from
#8847 (`cb241b3f1`); coordinate landing to avoid duplicate work. This PR
consolidates the three fixes exercised together during Android
onboarding acceptance.
## Validation
- Pixel 9 / Android 17, production hosted services, isolated debug
installs. Human acceptance plus native UI, saved public-identity and
restart checks as noted below. No iOS acceptance in this session.
- Latest build and invite-first acceptance: base
`a12ad1cdd29da8b2923eca5408e963a2659777ab` plus these patches.
- Focused tests on that base plus patches: **88 passed** across
hosted_journeys_test, hosted_admission_test, browser_auth_test,
pairing_hosted_handoff_test and pairing_provider_test, with
`BUZZ_AUTH_DOMAINS=communities.buzz.xyz`.
- Earlier baseline: 81 focused cases passed plus one
staging-configuration case passed separately (82 distinct cases across
seven onboarding/recovery files); these are historical, not current-head
certification.
- Earlier policy change: 41 focused tests, changed-file analysis and
isolated mutation check passed on the earlier base. Earlier browser
candidate native instrumentation/mutation evidence was not rerun on this
combined revision.
- Android debug APK built and installed successfully. Mandatory
commit/push hooks passed at `6442e5ff9`: analysis clean; mobile tests
4,047 passed / 34 skipped; additional package runs 4 and 27 passed;
file-size checks passed. These broad tests ran through the required push
hook, not a manually invoked suite. CI remains pending.
## Live testing report — October 31
| Journey | Result and evidence boundary |
|---|---|
| Fresh email signup / identity / hosted invite | Reproduced policy
response exceeding 64 KiB; after fix, admission and restart passed.
Profile/message visible locally; cross-account message receipt remains
unproven. Tested at `cfcaef4e9f` plus policy patch. |
| Browser close → retry → login → existing identity recovery → restart |
Passed at `d14f33a170` plus patches; recovered the expected public
identity and community. |
| Pairing a different identity into an existing install | Rejected
without replacing the original key. Initially hidden error became
visible with friendly copy; Back and restart preserved the community at
`b80217de3` plus patches. |
| Fresh pairing → wait for desktop approval → sign-in → community →
restart | Passed at `20742a236` plus patches; human confirmed approval
gate, saved public identity matched. |
| First-time desktop cancellation → welcome → fresh QR retry → community
→ restart | Passed at `20742a236` plus patches. Cancellation error
remained raw `user_denied`. |
| Android system Back while awaiting pairing approval | Human-confirmed
in already-onboarded Add Community; first-time phone-side Back variation
remains untested. |
| Wrong pairing code → rejection → correction → completion |
Human-confirmed at `a2540fbe3` plus patches. Exact error and
same-session versus fresh-QR retry were not independently captured. |
| Interrupt account onboarding at community picker → process restart →
recovery → admission | Passed at `a2540fbe3` plus patches. Restart
opened Add a community; Find my communities restored choices without
another login. Human completed admission. No destination had yet been
selected. |
| Invite-first into fresh signed-out app → intended community → restart
| Passed at `a12ad1cdd` plus patches; saved identity/destination
matched. Existing member and existing browser session. Initial Android
VIEW intent explicitly targeted the test package; ordinary HTTPS default
app-link resolution and new-member admission remain untested. |
| Malformed community input → error → Back → restart | Passed for `not a
community`; original community preserved. `not-a-community` is a valid
single-label hostname and was not counted as malformed-input evidence. |
## Remaining gaps and findings
Not release certification. Pairing landing-error regression/mutation
evidence is now recorded below. Current combined-revision native
instrumentation has not been rerun; its limited scope is described
below.
Deferred behavior, not implemented here:
- Wrong browser account after fresh pairing is correctly rejected, but
Retry reuses that app account session; in-app account switching must
preserve the transferred identity and destination. The live happy path
used a manual browser-account switch and fresh install.
- Pairing wait has no visible Cancel; tested system Back works.
- Desktop cancellation exposes raw error wording.
- Interrupted community selection requires an extra Find my communities
step.
Master checklist remains partial: seven categories exercised this
session, signup/community creation has historical coverage, seven
categories unexercised. New-member link-first admission, deeper
interruption/server-commit recovery, expiry/revocation/network failures,
key import, organization/self-hosted paths, phone-to-desktop transfer,
eligibility gates, accessibility/app-link variants and iOS require
separate coverage. Channel-discovery work is separate (#8869).
## Review checkpoint
[Carl’s
review](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8874#pullrequestreview-5724095754)
found no code blockers at `6442e5ff9`. Carl also reviewed test-only
follow-up `d43958653` and found no issues, accepting both validation
gaps as closed. A subsequent review identified stale callback → resume
cancelling a newer Android login. A narrow native fix and regression
validation are in progress; prior readiness attestation is withdrawn
pending this behavior change.
- **Android stack check passed (Pixel 9, Android 17):** after fresh
account sign-in, the human stopped at the community picker without
closing/restarting. `dumpsys activity activities` showed exactly one
MainActivity in Invite First task 567, with no CustomTab in that task or
the full component list. ChromeTabbedActivity remained in a separate
pre-existing browser task. This rules out a lingering duplicate activity
in this run; it does not independently trace `onNewIntent` or establish
all Android/browser variants. Binary production sources match
`6442e5ff9`.
- **Pairing regression/mutation passed:** extended the existing QR
journey using the real encrypted NIP-AB import and hosted coordinator.
Asserts visible friendly mismatch feedback, live-region wrapper,
unchanged stored community/account identity, and Back to home. Reused
the existing socket fake. Hosted journey + pairing provider files: 70
passed with configured auth domain; opt-out hosted journey file: 3
passed / 21 skipped; changed-file analysis clean. Isolated clone:
control passed, hiding the landing error failed the visible text
assertion, restoration passed. No production source change in this
follow-up.
- **Duplicate landing:** #8847 is superseded by this combined PR; its
Android slice is included here. No merge performed.
BrowserAuthPluginTest manually drives plugin hooks using an unmanaged
Activity and fake browser launcher. It proves the plugin state machine
only, not MainActivity wiring, real lifecycle order, process death, or
duplicate app_links callback delivery. Current CI does not run Android
instrumentation. Android ignores the debug ephemeral-login flag and
shares browser cookies.
Readiness checklist: agent review completed on production changes and
test follow-up; agent exercised the changed behavior; human completed
the documented Android journeys and final sign-in check.
## Stale callback follow-up (`b7aaaa788`)
Addresses [the later Android lifecycle
review](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8874#pullrequestreview-5724197312):
a recognized callback now clears browser-dismissal tracking before
rejecting a mismatched state. A stale callback cannot complete or cancel
the newer login. The existing native journey now includes the
intervening resume, successful current callback, and genuine browser
dismissal after a stale callback. Only two native files changed; policy
and pairing fixes are unchanged.
Validation: 88 focused Dart tests passed. Android app and test APK build
passed. On Pixel 9, the native plugin journey passed; in an isolated
source/Git/build clone, removing the reset failed at the newer attempt's
expected-zero-replies assertion; exact restoration passed. This proves
the plugin state machine on Android, not a real late browser callback
through OS lifecycle delivery. Carl reviewed `b7aaaa788` and found the
fix correct and minimal with no blockers. Human browser-close/retry
check remains pending; PR stays draft until that passes. Current-head CI
is also required for merge.
Accepted limitation: if a recognized stale callback arrives after the
current browser tab has already gone, automatic dismissal is suppressed
and the user may need the visible Cancel button. The callback cannot
complete sign-in without matching state; Dart validation remains
authoritative.

## Summary
Unify mobile conversations in Messages with All / Solo / Team filters, a
collapsing header, and separate Search, New, and default-agent
shortcuts. Move workspace actions into the community menu and keep
collapsed sections intact across filters.
Align Inbox and list typography, spacing, and muted controls. Preserve
native glass layering through navigation and give every filtered list
enough clearance above the footer. The default-agent shortcut reads the
shared encrypted preference and opens an existing chat immediately. When
unset, it opens Agents; a star action selects the default through a
production signed, self-encrypted preference writer. Save failures
remain visible and retryable.
Android now uses rounded navigation controls and filters, optically
balanced search icons, and expanding New/community menus with leading
Tabler icons matching iOS. Preset avatars retain transparent WebM
animation through an Android WebView renderer, with lifecycle pausing
and poster fallback.
### Related issue
None found in searches for mobile navigation issues and open PRs.
### Testing
- Android follow-up: ARM64 debug build, Dart analysis, and emulator
checks passed for menu placement, selection, icon alignment, search, and
avatar playback/pause/resume. The avatar implementation passed 3,840
Flutter tests and native Android tests before subsequent styling
iterations. Automated tests for the later menu/icon iterations were
skipped at the author’s request; those earlier results do not cover the
final styling changes.
- Mobile formatting/analysis and full test suite (3,838 passed, 23
skipped, plus 4 push-configuration tests); regression journey covers
filtering, collapse retention, and scrolling the last Solo row above the
footer.
- iPhone 18 Pro simulator (Honeycomb): filters, menus, Inbox,
Invite/Back, Switch Community, and default-agent chat/Back exercised.
iOS release build and Pairing Preview install/launch passed during
iteration, preserving the saved profile.
- P1 follow-up: production writer-to-reader widget journey covers
selection, publish failure/retry, and the unset footer opening Agents.
Simulator Agents open/close passes; its saved community has no
selectable agents, so live selection was not verified there.
- Independent agent review completed; its Solo footer-clearance finding
is fixed. The final clearance adjustment is covered by widget tests;
physical-device acceptance of that adjustment and hosted CI remain
pending.
Final Messages layout:
Switcher layering during iteration (before → after):

## Behavior
Adds optional mobile Builderlab sign-in, identity backup/recovery,
community discovery/creation, and account-aware reconnect. **Builderlab
features are disabled by default:** when `BUZZ_AUTH_DOMAINS` is unset or
empty, account login, creation, backup/recovery, reconnect prompts, and
background account restoration are hidden/disabled. QR/code pairing,
links, and invites retain Nostr-only entry. Saved account state is
retained for later opt-in.
`--dart-define=BUZZ_AUTH_DOMAINS=communities.buzz.xyz,communities.public.builderlabstaging.xyz`
opts those DNS domains and their subdomains into required account setup.
The same policy gates pairing, deep links, durable community admission,
and reconnect. A nonempty list enables Builderlab features;
`BUZZ_BUILDERLAB_URL` alone does not. Enabled flows still require their
backend services. Existing Nostr relay authentication remains mandatory.
`BUZZ_HOSTED_RELAY_AUTH=true` enables scoped relay assertions and
reconnect prompts only for configured authentication domains. Configure
assertion issuance and each community's issuer binding before enabling
assertions; enable relay enforcement last. Account credentials stay at
Builderlab. Wrong-account recovery preserves keys; failed writes are not
replayed; authentication is bounded by request deadlines.
Hosted flows preserve keys across cancellation/restart, reconcile
interrupted creation/invitation acceptance, and support manual nsec file
import/export. Account identities are scoped to backend and
authenticated subject; reusing an existing local key for an unbound
account requires an explicit selection. Recovery reconciles the
advertised and recovered inventories before automatic selection.
Successful self-hosted admission retires its pending key, and iOS
startup removes interrupted export files. Adds authenticated relay `GET
/operator/communities/joined` for the companion Builderlab membership
endpoint.
## Validation
- Follow-up review repair at `66a12ac92`: self-hosted entry presents
readable choices and import despite incomplete enumeration, while
generation still requires a complete empty inventory; explicit selection
uses exact-key lookup. Consuming a value-equal duplicate now advances
dispatch. Reconnect requires an existing account binding or a
subject-scoped backup receipt before signing an assertion, and pins the
subject inside the serialized account request. An empty different
account is refused without sending key proof. Focused checks: configured
domains 58 passed; default 49 passed, 9 hosted-only skips. Separate
isolated mutations fail the incomplete-inventory sheet, exact-key reuse,
duplicate dispatch and reconnect journeys (including an
empty-account-only bypass); restored controls pass. Evidence uses
synthetic storage/network boundaries, not physical Android or live
backend association. All mandatory commit/push hooks passed; fresh
GitHub CI is pending.
- Bounded review repair at `d3cc0003f`: incomplete secure-storage
enumeration now blocks automatic identity generation while explicit
known-key reads retain their fallback; declined/failed onboarding links
release the queue; HTTP 429/5xx keeps Retry regardless of response
encoding. Default app-gate coverage exercises a bind link followed by
ordinary community entry. Focused checks: configured domains 47 passed;
default 38 passed, 9 hosted-only skips. Removing the three production
fixes in an isolated source/Git/build copy fails the
identity-resolution, declined/failed queue, and Retry journey
assertions; clean and restored controls pass. Storage and HTTP failures
are synthetic; physical Android and live outage behavior were not
exercised. Published after all mandatory commit/push hooks passed
(mobile analysis/tests, branch-skew and file-size gates); fresh GitHub
CI remains pending.
- Existing whole-PR source review cleared the reconnect defects at
`fb15d5b82`.
- Domain-policy increment: focused environment, entry, app-gate, pairing
and onboarding journeys pass with empty and configured domains. Existing
pairing provider/page tests pass. Changed Dart files analyze cleanly.
- Isolated source/Git/build mutation: forcing paired credentials through
hosted login fails the default-build journey; clean and restored
controls pass. CI now runs configured-domain journeys in addition to the
default-build suite.
- Integrated main through `5b433d929` at `0067c069c`, including its
pinned Flutter upgrade. Preserved the PR welcome UI with the updated
transition API and added Material surfaces around onboarding
selection/consent rows. Focused post-merge runs pass in both
configurations; all mandatory local push gates passed (mobile
analysis/tests, Rust tests, desktop-native checks, branch-skew and
file-size checks).
- Merge-review repair at `a315bce11`: focused identity/storage/admission
and widget journeys pass, including account switching with an empty or
already-bound second account, explicit reuse, and self-hosted
removal/rejoin with another key. Default-domain journeys pass too
(hosted-only cases intentionally skip there).
- Isolated source/Git/build mutation checks: bypassing account scoping,
reuse consent, pending-key retirement, or recovery inventory
reconciliation fails the relevant journey/invariant assertions; clean
and restored controls pass.
- Native `RunnerTests/IdentityFilePluginTests`: both tests pass on the
iPhone 18 Pro iOS 27 simulator with an isolated app identifier. At
`24a0dcaac`, the picker journey seeds residue in Library/Caches,
matching path_provider_foundation, and verifies plugin startup removes
it while preserving an unrelated file. The earlier tmp-only fixture did
not exercise the actual export location. This is synthetic native
cleanup/picker evidence, not a real terminated-share or live account
round trip.
- Follow-up: Caches and tmp cleanup; fallback to individually known
identity slots when Android bulk enumeration fails; explicit replacement
of a refused self-hosted key preserves its original before swapping the
retry slot. Configured-domain journeys/invariants: 34 passed; default:
31 passed, 3 hosted-only skips. Isolated enumeration/retry mutations
fail with passing controls. Bulk-read fallback preserves but cannot
enumerate arbitrary other-account slots until bulk reads recover.
- Configured-domain CI exposed a stale pairing-status assertion after
account scoping. The repaired test checks the admission mismatch,
preserved account/transfer keys, and no admitted community. The
configured-domain CI selection passes locally (56 tests); removing the
production mismatch guard fails the updated test, with clean/restored
controls passing. This is synthetic coordinator evidence, not physical
QR acceptance.
- Final review repair (`40e1e6101`): native iOS export creation uses
atomic complete file protection; normal and restart cleanup remain.
Account/policy/claim HTTP uses one 30-second total deadline with request
abort and body cancellation. Removed the unrelated NIP-FA spec edit.
- Focused account/admission/export tests: 25 pass; configured-domain
account/admission/onboarding journeys: 33 pass. Isolated deadline and
native-dispatch mutations fail, with passing clean/restored controls.
Native export/picker tests: 2 pass on iOS 27 simulator. The real
file-protection attribute assertion is physical-device-only because
simulator provides no Data Protection attribute; locked-device
protection and interrupted real sharing have not been observed.
- Opt-in UI: configured-domain CI selection passes (57 tests); default
selection passes (7 tests, 10 hosted-only skips); URL-only plus
whitespace/empty domains passes (6 tests, 9 hosted-only skips). Changed
Dart files analyze cleanly. Independent mutations that unconditionally
initialize the coordinator in the app gate, welcome entry, or link form
fail the default journey; clean/restored controls pass.
- Native welcome screens exercised on iPhone 18 Pro / iOS 27 simulator
in default and configured builds: default exposes community link / QR /
pairing code only; configured build additionally exposes Builderlab
connection and community creation. No live hosted login was exercised in
this check.
- Delivery at `e48fe73a9`: all mandatory push hooks passed (full mobile
analysis/tests, Rust tests, desktop-native checks, branch and file-size
checks). GitHub checks had not yet populated at the immediate post-push
snapshot.
## Review disposition
| Feedback | Disposition |
| --- | --- |
| Explicit self-hosted entry under unreadable inventory, duplicate
invite dispatch, reconnect cross-account binding
([entry](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8375#discussion_r4318421622),
[queue](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8375#discussion_r4318421640),
[reconnect](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8375#discussion_r4318455512))
| Repaired at `66a12ac92`; evidence above. Reconnect refuses unproven
ownership rather than silently establishing a binding. |
| Incomplete Android identity inventory, stranded deep-link queue,
transient HTTP retry classification
([review](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8375#pullrequestreview-5576864143))
| All three repaired in `d3cc0003f`; focused journeys and isolated
mutation evidence above. |
| Account cross-link, incomplete recovery inventory, committed invite
checkpoint, pending local key retirement/replacement | Repaired in the
preceding commits; journey and mutation evidence above. |
| iOS interrupted key export
([review](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8375#pullrequestreview-5575253252))
| Native cleanup plus complete protection at creation implemented.
Physical-device lock and real interrupted sharing acceptance remains
pending. |
| Trickle responses bypass idle timeout; unrelated NIP-FA edit
([review](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/8375#pullrequestreview-5575764556))
| Total request deadline/abort implemented; spec edit removed. |
| Production domains rejected | Ordinary entry now needs no Builderlab
configuration. Opt-in account-required domains must still use supported
community mappings. |
| Lost Android Keystore recovery | Backup exclusions prevent the
reviewed stale-restore scenario; genuine key loss still has no in-app
recovery/reset and remains deferred. |
| Native secp256k1 dependency question | Obsolete against the current
base: upstream C integration landed in #8398; no package diff remains
here. |
| Operator membership endpoint contract | Documentation now states the
operator chooses the pubkey; no end-user session binding is implied.
Additional handler-level coverage is optional follow-up. |
| Optional Android partial document cleanup/activity retention; local
work after backup cancellation | Follow-up hardening, not claimed
implemented. Cancellation prevents remote backup upload. |
| Semgrep crypto inventory notices | Informational inventory, not
demonstrated defects. |
## Remaining draft gates
Native QR/browser-return acceptance remains unverified for this
revision. Optional Builderlab onboarding still needs backend
backup-status and joined-community routes, recovery
policy/configuration, and real backup/recovery/reconnect acceptance. The
empty-domain build removes these services as prerequisites for ordinary
pairing; it does not make the optional hosted flows backend-ready. Human
acceptance and current CI are still required before merge.
Review dispositions retained: production auth-domain configuration must
use supported community mappings; enabling `builderlab.xyz` does not add
support for `buzz.block.builderlab.xyz`. Recovery after genuinely losing
an Android Keystore key remains a follow-up, not a newly implemented
capability.
Human acceptance steps: build once without `BUZZ_AUTH_DOMAINS`
(including with a previously saved account) and confirm no Builderlab
controls/restoration while ordinary link and QR/code entry work. Build
with supported domains and confirm connection/creation appear; exercise
browser return and live backup/recovery/reconnect. On physical iOS,
exercise export and interrupted sharing/locked-device protection. Record
results before marking review complete.

## Summary
Enter a desktop-only, random six-digit code on mobile to pair without a
desktop confirmation click. Verification uses the encrypted session,
limits guesses to five, and never treats the QR-derived transcript as
approval. Older clients retain desktop confirmation.
Adds digit-only error shakes and native haptics, a separate biometrics
choice, and a direct community-icon arrival animation. Fixes dropped
early offers and resets completed pairing so reopening or signing out
cannot get stuck.

### Release order
Deploy the updated pairing relay first, then desktop, then mobile. The
relay now allows eight events per connection (seven for a successful
fifth guess plus room for cancellation), with a corresponding bounded
delivery budget. Existing clients remain supported; older client
combinations keep desktop confirmation.
### Testing
- 103 mobile pairing tests, 270 core tests, 51 relay integration tests,
and the new real-relay fifth-guess flow passed.
- The real-relay regression verifies proof, decrypted identity import,
and completion after four wrong guesses. Restoring the old six-event cap
makes it fail.
- A paused-clock desktop regression confirms slow readiness cannot
extend the visible QR beyond protocol expiry. Mobile regression covers
typing before negotiation completes.
- Core/pair-relay Clippy and full native desktop Clippy/workspace tests
passed. Mobile analysis passed; broad mobile runs each hit an unrelated
failure (a gateway-script timeout and a native-menu missing-plugin
error), and both affected test files passed separately.
- Repository-wide Rust testing exhausted local disk space while
compiling unrelated packages. The final push omitted that
resource-blocked hook and avoided repeating the desktop/mobile runs
above; hosted CI remains required.

Age-check errors previously blocked Buzz startup. Normal app startup now
proceeds immediately; only a valid under-18 response from the current
launch request can restrict access.
Age check enforcement remains disabled at compile time by default.
Builds can opt in with `--dart-define=BUZZ_AGE_GATING_ENABLED=true`.

Make the push gateway origin configurable across the relay, gateway,
mobile client, and deployment chart.
This is a fresh deployment. The gateway has only run on personal
development infrastructure, and push has no existing enabled users.
Legacy migration, configured-to-unconfigured mobile transitions, and
rolling upgrades from pre-launch gateway binaries are not supported.
Populated pre-launch databases are rejected with an informative error
before migrations run; their data is untouched. Mobile builds may omit
the gateway URL, leaving push unavailable. Once push is enabled,
subsequent builds must retain that configuration.
### Validation
- All applicable CI checks pass at
`5f546cfaf403f0386f146d213adfb4392f4ec29c`, including Rust,
mobile/Swift, desktop/integration, security, image builds, and Helm
checks. An unrelated agent cancellation test passed on retry.
- PostgreSQL CI passed 384 tests, including the production-entry-point
regression for refusing populated pre-launch databases before
migrations, fresh initialization, and subsequent initialized
deployments.
- Focused local validation passed all 10 gateway PostgreSQL tests under
the CI discovery filter and all 3 unconfigured-mobile tests.
Repository-wide PostgreSQL discovery validation and the complete
pre-push hooks passed.
- Physical-device APNs/App Attest behavior and deployment to a live
cluster were not verified in this work.

### What changed?
Buzz mobile checks the app-store age signal at launch and hard-blocks
the app behind a full-screen 18+ notice when the store says the
signed-in person is under 18.
No age signal (e.g. declined permission, indeterminate value,
unsupported OS versions) results in no block.
The age value is never persisted. It is read, used to compute one
boolean, and discarded. Nothing is written to disk, and neither the age
value nor the range is logged or sent to analytics.
Platform notes:
- **New dependency `com.google.android.play:age-signals:0.0.4`.** This
is the only way to read the Play signal. Its AAR declares `minSdkVersion
23`, below the app's 24, so it forces **no minSdk bump**, and it
self-declares its own consent activity, so **no AndroidManifest change**
is needed.
- **iOS entitlement and linking.** `DeclaredAgeRange` autolinks from the
import. `Runner.entitlements` now declares
`com.apple.developer.declared-age-range`, and the call remains behind
`#available(iOS 26.0, *)`.
### Why?
App stores now expose a declared-age range, and Buzz's Terms require
users to be 18 or older. This wires the store signal to that rule with
the smallest change that is defensible.
Absent signals, declined or undeterminable results, and unsupported OS
versions allow the app through. A transient native request failure does
not become evidence that access is allowed: the app remains gated until
a retry produces a result. Only an affirmative under-18 signal produces
the permanent restriction screen.
### How is it tested?
Added tests:
-
[`age_signal_provider_test`](https://github.com/block/buzz/tree/main/mobile/test/features/age_gate)
covers the 17/18 boundary, open-ended ranges, no-signal, transient
recovery, bounded retry exhaustion, malformed payloads, and request-once
behavior
-
[`age_gate_app_test`](https://github.com/block/buzz/tree/main/mobile/test/features/age_gate)
proves authenticated content remains unmounted while the signal is
pending or retryable, and verifies the retry path
-
[`age_restriction_page_test`](https://github.com/block/buzz/tree/main/mobile/test/features/age_gate)
asserts the block screen offers no bypass affordance
-

## Summary
- downgrade Mobile Huddle authentication and native media configuration
from protocol v3 to the currently deployed relay's v2 contract
- restore the released one-byte relay peer prefix while retaining later
reconnect, roster, and playout-reset reliability fixes
- update Android, iOS, protocol documentation, and focused tests
together
Protocol v2 does not carry v3's occupancy epoch on audio frames, so it
cannot fence the narrow delayed-packet/peer-index-reuse race. This is an
intentional compatibility tradeoff until the relay v3 rollout is ready.
### Related issue
None found.
### Testing
- `just mobile-check`
- `just mobile-test` — 1,661 tests passed
- Android debug build installed and launched on Pixel 10 as
`xyz.block.buzz.mobile.sprout_mobile_profile_settings`; foreground
process verified
- signed iOS Release build installed and launched on iPhone as
`com.buzz.buzzMobile`; running process verified
A live two-device Huddle audio call remains a manual verification step.

**Category:** new-feature
**User Impact:** Mobile users must confirm with Face ID, biometrics, or
their device passcode before sending their Buzz identity to Desktop.
**Problem:** A signed-in phone could send its full identity, including
the `nsec`, to a desktop without fresh local verification.
**Solution:** Require OS device authentication before opening the
identity-recovery scanner, retain that authorization only for the active
pairing session and short pairing window, and require fresh
authentication again if it expires before the identity payload is sent.
Normal app opening, identity import, and community removal remain
unchanged.

**Android and iOS integration**
- `mobile/android/app/build.gradle.kts` declares the AppCompat
dependency required by the biometric activity theme.
-
`mobile/android/app/src/main/kotlin/xyz/block/buzz/mobile/MainActivity.kt`
uses the activity type required by the system authentication prompt.
- `mobile/android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml` and
`mobile/android/app/src/main/res/values-night/styles.xml` use the
compatible launch theme.
- `mobile/ios/Podfile.lock` records the native local-authentication
dependency.
- `mobile/ios/Runner/Info.plist` explains why Buzz requests Face ID
access.
**Identity policy and pairing flow**
- `mobile/lib/shared/security/sensitive_action_authorizer.dart` wraps OS
authentication and maps platform errors to stable app-level outcomes.
- `mobile/lib/shared/community/community.dart` and
`mobile/lib/shared/community/community_storage.dart` persist the
sensitive-action policy.
- `mobile/lib/features/invites/invite_join_provider.dart` assigns the
explicit policy for invite-created communities.
- `mobile/lib/features/pairing/pairing_provider.dart` gates export,
binds grants to the active community/session, reauthenticates expired
grants, and clears grants on every terminal path.
- `mobile/lib/features/pairing/pairing_page.dart` lets users choose
biometric protection while importing an identity.
- `mobile/lib/features/settings/settings_page.dart` wires pairing into
settings.
- `mobile/lib/features/settings/settings_page/connection_section.dart`
authenticates before opening export recovery and bounds the
foreground-resume wait.
- `mobile/pubspec.yaml` and `mobile/pubspec.lock` add and lock
`local_auth`.
**Coverage**
- `mobile/test/shared/security/sensitive_action_authorizer_test.dart`
covers native result mapping, unsupported devices, and single-flight
behavior.
- `mobile/test/shared/community/community_test.dart` and
`mobile/test/shared/community/community_storage_test.dart` cover policy
defaults and persistence.
- `mobile/test/features/invites/invite_join_provider_test.dart` covers
the invite policy.
- `mobile/test/features/pairing/pairing_page_test.dart` covers import
protection controls.
- `mobile/test/features/pairing/pairing_provider_test.dart` covers
export/import authorization, stale/reset/concurrent guards, malformed
payload cleanup, and no-export failure paths.
- `mobile/test/features/settings/connection_section_test.dart` covers
the tap gate, lifecycle resume, and timeout behavior.

## Reproduction steps
1. Pair an identity into the mobile app.
2. Open Settings and choose “Send identity to desktop.”
3. Verify Face ID, biometrics, or the device passcode is required before
the recovery scanner opens.
4. Cancel device authentication and verify the scanner does not open and
no identity transfer begins.
5. Authenticate, scan a Desktop recovery code, confirm the SAS, and
verify the identity transfer completes.
## Validation

**Category:** improvement
**User Impact:** Developers can identify which worktree produced a
mobile debug app, keep a bounded set of worktree builds installed side
by side, and preserve each worktree app's login and local state while
switching branches.
**Problem:** Mobile debug builds from every checkout currently appear as
the same “Buzz” app and share one application identity, so the running
source is ambiguous and one worktree build replaces another. A
branch-keyed identity would avoid replacement but create stale installs
and fresh app state on every branch switch.
**Solution:** Give each linked worktree a stable Debug-only application
identity derived from its sanitized directory name. Show the sanitized
branch name (or short commit SHA when detached) in the display label,
persist generated native overrides for direct IDE builds, and leave
Release/Profile identities unchanged. Worktree defaults remain lower
precedence than a developer's iOS `AppOverrides.xcconfig`. `just
mobile-clean` provides a safe cleanup path for suffixed worktree
installs while preserving production Buzz.
<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

personal signing overrides retain precedence.
**mobile/ios/Flutter/Release.xcconfig**
Pins the production display name and bundle identifier for
Release/Profile builds.
**mobile/ios/Runner/Info.plist**
Resolves the visible iOS app name from build settings.
**scripts/mobile-worktree-overrides.sh**

removes stale overrides in the main checkout.
**scripts/mobile-worktree-clean.sh**
Lists or removes suffixed Buzz worktree installs from booted iOS
simulators and connected Android emulators without matching production

**scripts/test-mobile-worktree-overrides.sh**
Covers worktree detection, branch-switch identity stability, detached
HEAD fallback, special-character sanitization, iOS override precedence,
brace-aware Release/Profile purity, cleanup safety, ignores, and command
integration.
</details>
## Reproduction steps
1. From a linked worktree, activate the repository toolchain and run
`just mobile-dev`.
2. Inspect the running app: its label should be `Buzz
(<sanitized-branch>)`, while its application ID suffix is derived from
the worktree directory.
3. Switch branches in the same worktree, rerun the override script, and
confirm the application ID remains stable while the display label
updates. In detached HEAD, confirm the label uses a short SHA.
4. Build Debug from a second worktree and confirm both apps remain
installed side by side with independent state.
5. Build from Xcode after setting `AppOverrides.xcconfig` and confirm
developer overrides still win over generated worktree defaults.
6. Run `just mobile-clean --dry-run`, then `just mobile-clean`, and
confirm suffixed worktree installs are targeted while the production app
is preserved.
7. Build Release/Profile and confirm the production name and application
identity remain unchanged.
8. Run `scripts/test-mobile-worktree-overrides.sh`, `just mobile-check`,
`just mobile-test`, and `just mobile-build-android`.
