## Summary The mobile app now saves remote images on disk. After a relaunch, avatars, custom emoji, message attachments and agent artwork show immediately. The app does not download them again. Small images on a relay now load only the relay's thumbnail. The app never downloads the full-size upload to show a small image. ## Why Before this change, the app kept remote images only in memory. Each cold launch downloaded every image again. On a slow connection, attachments showed a "Loading image" placeholder for a long time. Also, when a relay had no thumbnail for an image, the app downloaded the full-size upload. That upload can be up to 20 MiB, for an avatar that is a few dozen points wide. ## What changes ### Images on disk - `MediaImageProvider` reads and writes a `MediaDiskCache`. Each account in each community has its own cache, at `<root>/communities/<community id>/media/<signer pubkey>`. The cache is built on `flutter_cache_manager`, with a JSON index. - On iOS, the root is the app group's `Library/Caches` (from a new `buzz/app_group` method channel). App extensions can then read the same cache. On other platforms, the root is the app cache directory. - Each cache holds a maximum of 250 MB. When it is full, the least recently used images go first. `MediaCacheIndex` measures each file when it writes it, because `flutter_cache_manager` limits only the number of files. Every disk read marks the file used, and every write schedules eviction, including a refresh that replaces bytes the package already holds in memory (by default the package does neither for those). - The cache does not save an image that is larger than 5 MiB. The app still shows that image from memory. Thus, one large image cannot push out all the others. - Relay media URLs contain a content hash, so their bytes never change. The cache keeps them until it evicts them. For other URLs, the cache shows the saved image, and then gets a new copy in the background after one week. A maximum of two of these refreshes run at the same time. The app decodes a refreshed image before it replaces the saved copy. - When you remove a community, the app deletes its cache. When a community gets a new signing key, the app deletes the media of the old account. At launch, the app also deletes caches of communities and accounts that are no longer present. - Startup does not wait for the cache. The cache directory resolves in the background. Image reads wait for it for a maximum of 3 seconds. ### Thumbnails for small images - A small relay image loads the relay's WebP thumbnail. If the relay has no WebP thumbnail, the image loads the JPEG thumbnail. If the relay has neither, the widget shows its placeholder (initials for an avatar, an empty tile for artwork). - Native avatars drawn by UIKit (the navigation bar, the community icon on the create button, and the New DM and Add Members pickers) use the same choice, through a new `smallMediaImageProviders`. They try the same thumbnails, fall back the same way, and show initials when neither thumbnail exists. Before, they downloaded the full-size upload and only decoded it small. - Larger layouts and the full-screen viewer load the full-size upload, as before. ### Agent artwork - Preset agent artwork (the tray, flight, video placeholder, avatar hero and the avatar editor's blurred backdrop) now loads through `MediaImage`, so it uses the disk cache too. - The create-agent and empty-bestie pages warm the same `MediaImageProvider` that their widgets read, through a new `mediaImageProviderFor(ref, url)`. - No code in `mobile/lib` uses `Image.network` or `NetworkImage` now. ## Demo A cold relaunch (the app is stopped, then started) into a synthetic "QA demo" Solo chat that holds a few generated images. Shown at half speed. Before: the attachment shows a "Loading image" placeholder while it downloads. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/107f43a3-63d0-40c3-bd80-4ea9d7897a97 After: the attachment shows with the chat, from disk. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d3985bb2-838c-4efa-93cb-44cef51f677d ## Tests - `test/shared/relay/media_disk_cache_test.dart` follows one journey through the real provider and a real cache in a temporary directory. The first launch downloads and saves. An offline relaunch shows the full-size image, its thumbnail and an external image from disk, and the oversized image goes back to the network. Eight days later, only the external image refreshes. Removing the community deletes its directory. - A second test checks the order of eviction when the cache is full, that a file read from disk is evicted after files that were not, and that replacing a file's bytes after eviction last ran evicts again when the cache goes over budget. - `community_provider_test` checks that launch deletes orphan media directories, that a new signing key deletes only the old account's media, and that removing a community deletes its media. - `avatar_image_test` checks that a missing WebP thumbnail falls back to the JPEG thumbnail, and that an avatar with no thumbnail shows its initials. - `native_avatar_image_test` checks the same for native avatars: a WebP 404 paints the JPEG thumbnail, the full-size upload is never requested, a relay with no thumbnail paints initials and is not asked again, and any other failure stops at the initials. - `flutter analyze` and the full mobile test suite pass. - Automated app runs on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator (iOS 27): the channel list, a DM, Home, the Agents grid and an agent details sheet show their images. After a relaunch, the images came from disk and the app wrote no new files. In the "QA demo" chat, a new image from the app showed immediately. - Automated run of the native-thumbnail fix on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator (iOS 27): the native New DM picker shows photo avatars, and the cache gained only relay `.thumb.webp` entries for them, no full-size uploads. After a cold relaunch, the picker showed the same avatars within about 1.5 seconds, and the cache directory gained no files. The avatar editor backdrop was not exercised in the app. The test community has no remote agents, and the backdrop tests cover only emoji and picked-image selections. ## Before merge - [x] Automated simulator run of this head: avatars and agent artwork show their thumbnails, and a cold relaunch shows images from disk. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Signed-off-by: Tom Brow <tomb@squareup.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Brow <tomb@squareup.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: studio <dc2fc481343672df31a689840c09299972e704dac592e0da6f18486646a7ee3e@localhost>
