 - Long-form policy docs that an `.mdc` rule points at live in `.cursor/docs/`. They are `design-system.md`, `scripts-naming-convention.md`, `extension-version-cutover.md`, and `panel-feed-seams.md`. `design-system.md` is the source of truth for the webapp visual language — tokens, themes, elevation species, state recipes, component catalog. `scripts-naming-convention.md` is the timeless rule and the source of truth for scripts naming. `extension-version-cutover.md` carries rotating per-package cutover state; see §Extension Version Doctrine. One-shot migration docs may live alongside as siblings and are deleted with the cutover PR that completes them.
 - **Durable agent memory lives at `.agents/memory/`**, a symlink to the Claude Code memory store, so Claude Code and Cursor read one copy. `.agents/memory/MEMORY.md` is the index. It is **gitignored and stays that way** — it records production hosts, project refs and infra details. Cursor reaches it through `.cursor/rules/agent-rules-and-memory.mdc`, which also carries the read order, because **Cursor does not read `CLAUDE.md` files at all**. Any rule filed only in a `CLAUDE.md` is invisible in Cursor unless that map names it.
 - **The `Grep` tool does not follow that symlink, and it reports no matches rather than an error.** A search of `.agents/memory` therefore looks clean while the text is really there. Measured 2026-08-19: `Grep` returned nothing where shell `grep -rl .agents/memory/` returned two files. Never conclude from `Grep` alone that a memory entry is missing, or that a stale fact is already gone. **Name the store with a trailing slash — `grep -rl <pattern> .agents/memory/`.** Searching from `.agents/` finds nothing under either `-r` or `-R`, because neither descends through the link, and `find` needs `-L` for the same reason. `Read` follows the link on a full path.
-- **Local working notes live in `Notes/` (gitignored).** Current reports, briefs, and the hocuspocus backlog sit in `Notes/local-docs/`. Start at that folder's `INDEX.md`. Open it when the task is inject-content, Last left, occupancy, restore, REST gaps, scale, auth, composer, extension launch, TOC rail, or chat sash. The Grep tool skips this tree. Search with `grep -rl <pattern> Notes/local-docs/`. Do not put these files in `docs/`. Security rows stay here and never become public issues.
 - **`CONTEXT.md`** at the repo root is the domain glossary (document-access terms and other named seams). Architecture reviews and deepenings use those names; do not invent parallel vocabulary when a glossary entry already exists.
 - Package-internal rules that don't generalize to the repo live in **package-local `AGENTS.md`** files next to the package. Today: `extensions/extension-hyperlink/AGENTS.md` for that extension's schema, commands, safety, click/preview, and clean-room harness. Cross-package rules (release flow, scripts naming, monorepo toolchain) stay in this root file. Read the package file in addition to the root file when working inside its package.
 - **Directory-scoped rules live in per-directory `CLAUDE.md` files** that Claude Code loads only when working under that path — see §Filed by directory. New rules go to the file that owns the directory, not back into this one. A rule that spans directories or names a prohibition stays here.

Check `document.visibilityState` before you trust a stuck UI, or use headless Playwright. For signed-in checks, use `packages/document-swarm` actors.
 - On `/`, verify hero+card vertical centering with the keyboard closed. Verify compact repositioning when the mobile keyboard opens (keyed to keyboard visibility, not slug-input focus). Verify expansion back when the keyboard dismisses even if focus stays on the slug input.
 - `history.pushState` can leave `h`/`id` in the URL bar where stripping only bookmark-style params no-ops — verify URL cleanup the same way. Context menus need pointer cursor, hover contrast, and full-width dividers verified in the browser too.
 - When driving these checks, `window._store` (like `window._editor`) is exposed only on the editor playground route, not `/` or document routes. So toggle theme via `data-theme` on `<html>` and apply the component's compact/active classes directly rather than poking the store.

 - Mobile heading control stays a one-frame stepper, name first: `[name | − | +]`. Do not replace it with a chip that opens a list. The three cells share one join; no inner box around plus and minus. When the caret is Title, the join uses the same `is-active` color as other heading levels.
 - TOC chat/unread/presence all live in-flow in `TocRowTrail`. Desktop presence is `<AvatarStack anchor="right">` right of the chat trigger (right-anchored, fixed right edge, grows left, `translate-x-3` to the column inner edge). The scrollbar must stay inside the column, so do NOT widen `.toc__scroll` to overhang presence beyond the wrapper. That widening pushed the scrollbar out over the editor. Fix broken shipped UI motion (e.g. `RollingNumber`) in place — never strip it for a static fallback unless the maintainer asks.
-- Desktop TOC tick rail shipped 2026-09-18. Durable rules live in webapp §TOC And Heading Actions and §Pad Workspace Surfaces. Look lives in `.cursor/docs/design-system.md` §TocTickRail. Names live in `CONTEXT.md` §Pad outline. Settled don'ts live in root `CLAUDE.md`. Persist last committed wide width only (`docsy:toc-width`, greater than 240). Stored 240 or less is missing and opens at 320. A short tick stack sits in the middle of the live rail. Chat open and close tween that offset with `--motion-panel`. Sash drag has no tween. Do not persist 32 or 240. Do not lock the stack to the window mid-line. On a long rail, spy follow is keep-in-view and depth-fit after the fold filter. Do not pin the spy tick to the rail top or bottom (`nearest` / edge-stick). Do not steal the rail while the pointer is on the minimap.
-- Docked chat sash-close uses the same snap recipe as TOC: linear paint below min, fade the inner column, snap at half min, abort back to min, settle with `--motion-overlay-in` 120ms. Do not put a transform on the chat panel. The Close button stays. Do not persist a below-min height. Wide TOC stays full height when chat is open (L-shape). Pad seams stay `--pad-divider` / `base-300`. Do not restyle docked borders in a session.
 - Chat feed image tiles are album-style: single scales from intrinsic size. Multi-image uses absolute rects (2–4 pack + complex pack for n≥5 / wide ratios) with cover-crop inside cells, not a fixed grid and not a separate tall-stack mode. Show all visuals up to the attach cap (no feed `+N` overlay).
 - Do not use Telegram/Discord (or other peer-product) names in code symbols, filenames, or identifiers. Use domain vocabulary (feed album, visual layout, mosaic pack). Peer names may appear only in prose when citing UX parity.

Research and compare before shipping a louder custom layout.
 - After a local `check:ci` or husky pre-push `build:ci`, do not ask the maintainer to run `rm -rf` on a `.next` tree. `scripts/check-ci.ts` and `make dest-local` already drop a leftover production `.next`.

-- Path A is the product shell: deepen the installed PWA (same site, Home Screen / dock). Do not start Electron, Tauri, store-listed native apps, or a native rewrite. Last opened on Home is for every signed-in owner, not only an installed window. Do not gate that list on `isPWAInstalled`.
-- Copy success uses daisyUI `swap` / `swap-active` (copy fades to a check). Do not remount the control or play `doc-region-in`. Do not use `transition-all`. Do not add a `CopyFade` wrapper. `CopyButton` is the standalone control. Menus and sheets keep their own host button and put `aria-hidden` on the swap root. A menu that closes after copy uses `useCloseAfterHold` and `COPY_FADE_HOLD_MS` (`MOTION_PANEL_MS × 2` in `apps/webapp/src/utils/motion.ts`), and only after a successful copy. Documents ⋮ must cancel that hold on Favorite, Private, and Read-only. The notification bell is stacked opacity for three states, not `swap`; disable it while an update is in flight. TOC Copy link, gallery copy, and chat file-card copy stay hard cuts until asked.
-- Hide Report on the chat message card menu. Keep the Report row in `useMessageActionMenuItems.tsx` at `display: false` so the desktop context menu and the mobile long-press menu both omit it. Document Report in Settings stays. Do not restore the chat Report row. Do not tell `/terms` readers to open the chat menu and choose Report.
-- Chat message action titles stay shared for the right-click menu and the hover ⋯ menu: Copy Link, Copy to Doc, Edit, Delete, in `messageActionMenu.ts`. Edit sits above Delete in both. Do not rename Copy Link to Share message link when the message has files. Do not put Message on Edit or Delete. Do not let the two menus drift apart.
-- Own empty profile card is one row: "No bio or links yet." on the left and "Add bio and links" on the right. That button closes the card and opens Settings on the Profile tab. Someone else's empty card stays the plain line only. Do not restore a filled primary button, a centered column, or a pencil icon on that empty state.
-- Change digest email body must read like the pad. Keep the mail header, greeting, document title, Open, and footer. A line sits under the changed-since line. Each changed heading is bold and links to that place on the pad. The passage sits under the heading. Added text is green. Removed text is red and struck through. A new chat sits under its heading. A chat in a channel that is not a heading stays in its card. Do not put Chat or View on the heading row. Quiet headings stay out of the mail. The default sends one mail per document. Admin Notifications can switch to one combined mail. The same card sets the HTML size limit in KB. The default is 90. The range is 10 to 102. A missing Redis value stays on one mail per document and 90 KB.
 
 ## Learned Workspace Facts
 
 Inbox only. New workspace facts go into the topical section that owns the subject. Append here only when no section fits, one rule per bullet. File entries into their owning section on the next tidy.
 
-- **Local working notes (09-17).** Reports, briefs, and the hocuspocus backlog live in `Notes/local-docs/`. Start at that folder's `INDEX.md`. Route by inject-content, Last left, occupancy, restore, REST gaps, scale, auth, composer, extension launch, TOC rail, or chat sash. `gio.md` is a copied Awesome Supabase list in `Notes/scratch/`.
 - **docs.plus is a claimed, verified Context7 library at <https://context7.com/docs-plus/docs.plus>.** Context7 feeds Cursor, Claude Code and Windsurf over MCP, so it is what an AI assistant reads about this project. **It does not re-crawl on push.** After a major documentation change — a README rewrite, a changed extension API, a release CHANGELOG entry, new pages under `docs/`, or an edit to `context7.json` — open the library page and press Refresh, or every agent keeps serving the previous snapshot. Parsing config lives in `context7.json` at the repo root, never the dashboard, so it stays reviewable in a diff. The authoritative field list is `https://context7.com/schema/context7.json`, which is `additionalProperties: false` and caps `description` at 200 characters and each `rules` item at 255; the claim error blames "unknown fields" when the real failure is a length limit. Ranking cannot be tuned: library search is name-based and `description` is only a fallback the model overrides.
 - pg_cron email jobs (`compile_digest_emails`, `process_email_queue`, digest cleanup) run on Supabase cloud (`tglymsfloxmouzjuoycu`), not the app's `DATABASE_URL` DigitalOcean Postgres. Grafana cron-stale alerts read worker metrics fed by Supabase RPC `get_cron_job_health`.
 - Email notification path: pg_cron SQL → `pgmq.send('email_notifications_queue')` → hocuspocus-worker `consume_email_queue` RPC → BullMQ → SMTP/Resend/SendGrid (pg_cron never calls HTTP). Prod `public.email_queue` check (`email_queue_status_check`) can drift from repo and omit `processing`; align with `packages/supabase/scripts/07-5-email-notifications-pgmq.sql`.

Durable persist runs after Hocuspocus debounce (10s idle / 60s max) via the BullMQ worker and confirms with `document:saved`. Reload before that lands restores the prior DB snapshot (content-disappear class).
 - `@docs.plus/document-swarm` (`packages/document-swarm`) is a private, never-published internal Bun + Playwright CLI. It drives N seeded browser "Swarm Actors" against a public editable document URL in Demo (paced, headed) or Stress (higher-concurrency, headless) mode. The glossary is in `CONTEXT.md` §Document swarm. Subcommands are `provision` (idempotently seed Supabase auth users via the Admin API into `actors.json`) and `run --mode demo|stress --users N --url <doc>`. Make sugar is `swarm-demo` / `swarm-stress`. Stable invariants: the host allowlist refuses production (local + `stage.docs.plus`/`*.stage.docs.plus` only). Per-host Actor caps (local 20 / stage 10) need `--force` to exceed. The Swarm Target must be public and not Read-only/soft-deleted. Actors sign in by injecting the `@supabase/ssr` chunked `sb-<ref>-auth-token` cookie via `context.addCookies` before navigation (not localStorage, not Google One Tap). Pad writes are non-destructive; never select-all or wipe the doc. Each actor resolves a Write Target / section. Demo contention defaults section-isolated. Optional Shuffle uses a weighted script mix. First Ctrl+C must immediately `browser.close()` so in-flight Playwright waits abort (do not hang draining actor loops; second SIGINT or ~5s timeout → `process.exit(130)`). Its `eslint.config.js` uses the base `eslint-config/index.js` preset (not `library.js`) because console is the CLI interface.
 - Do not hotlink `raw.githubusercontent.com` for demo or media. That host is a source viewer, not a CDN, and it answers `429`. Serve demo files from the app (`/demo-assets/…` on docs.plus). Unknown production paths can return 200 HTML, so check `Content-Type`, not status. GitHub raw `503`/`429` on extension README images can also be a short outage — do not convert `extensions/extension-*/README.md` `<picture>` blocks to markdown because of it. Wait and re-check the same URL. The shipped form stays HTML `<picture>` with a light PNG and a dark `source`.

 - CodeQL default setup is not configured. The live security gate is `bun audit` plus `.github/scripts/audit-gate.ts` (`FAIL_ON = 'high'`). The old Etherpad CodeQL alerts were dismissed. Current `main` never contained those files.
 - Production paging is Telegram, not Discord. Grafana, deploy failure, and the runner watchdog post to Telegram. Discord is release notes plus optional push summaries. Push summaries omit `(build):` deploy-trigger commits from the list. A push that is only those commits stays silent. Do not gate the whole Discord post on `head_commit` alone — a mixed push then still printed the trigger lines. Do not add `*(continued)*` labels between Discord chunks.
 - `scripts/check-ci.ts` forces `NODE_ENV=production` on `build:ci`. Bun sets `NODE_ENV=development` on `bun run`, and that breaks `next build` prerender of `/404`. After each `build:ci` the replica deletes `apps/webapp/.next` and `apps/admin-dashboard/.next`.

 ### Fixed
 
-- Mark your first message in an empty chat as sent. It was saved at once, but
-  it kept the clock icon until you reloaded the page.
-
-- Keep a chat message you send while scrolled far up. The jump to the newest
-  messages could drop it from the list. If that send then failed, its text was
-  lost.
-
-- Keep your chat draft and files across sends, replies, edits, and comments. A
-  failed comment gives back its text, its mode, and its files. Ending a reply or
-  a comment no longer deletes a file you just sent.
-
-- Let Escape close only what is on top. Closing the mention list, a link
-  popover, or the media gallery no longer also cancels a reply, an edit, or a
-  comment. Starting a voice note closes the emoji panel.
-
-- Split a long chat message by the length the database stores. A piece no
-  longer fails or holds no text. An edit that is too long is refused before it
-  saves, and your text stays in the composer.
-
-- Make slide up to lock, slide left to cancel, and the 5-minute limit work
-  while you hold the mic on a phone. A composer style let the browser read a
-  slide as a scroll, and that ended the hold. Cancel discards the note. Letting
-  go while the browser asks for the microphone turns the microphone off.
-
-- Save a voice note recorded on an iPhone as `.m4a`. It was named `.webm`,
-  though it holds MP4 audio.
-
-- Show a file at once when you add it while three others upload, and count it
-  toward the 10-file limit. It used to stay hidden until its upload started.
-
-- Notify the right people when a chat message holds an @. A capital letter
-  after a username no longer mentions a shorter name. An email address in a
-  message no longer stops the alert to members on All notifications. Your own
-  message never mentions you.
-
-- Bounce the avatar of a chat member who is typing. The bounce was defined but
-  never played, because another animation on the same face replaced it.
-
-- Make the chat composer work with a keyboard, a screen reader, and touch. Each
-  button's name matches its tooltip, and each format button says when it is on,
-  on the phone grid too. The + menu, the mention list, and the emoji panel work
-  from the keyboard. Small controls on a phone are 44 px targets.
-
-- Fix smaller chat composer faults. A file over 10 MB is refused when you add
-  it, unless it is a picture that can shrink. A file that cannot fit shows no
-  Retry. A failed chat load shows the error, not a skeleton that never ends. An
-  edit with nothing left shows the mic, not a Send that fails. Add link and Edit
-  link put the cursor in the address field. Opening a comment focuses the right
-  composer. Strikethrough survives a send, and the composer no longer offers a
-  heading or a divider that a send removes. The first comment on a heading with
-  no chat works for a user who joined late.
-
 - Keep Pad title open on a document with no owner. First edit no longer stamps
   the signed-in visitor as owner, so anyone can rename it. An owned document
   still answers only to its owner.

None of the three is a defect, because docs.plus sells a different thing — a per-heading chat that Tiptap has no answer to at all.

+**Date.** 2026-08-19
+
+Read the product table first for the wide view. The per-endpoint tables below it answer parity on the document server alone.
+
+## Scope and why the comparison is only half fair
+
+docs.plus does not run Tiptap Cloud. It self-hosts `@hocuspocus/server` v3 and owns its own REST surface at `apps/hocuspocus.server`. Tiptap Cloud is a paid product on a private npm registry, so its API is a benchmark, not a contract docs.plus owes anyone.
+
+The comparison is useful in one direction and misleading in the other. It is useful for finding a capability nobody here has considered. It is misleading as a scorecard, because docs.plus carries whole surfaces Tiptap Cloud does not: soft delete with a trash and a purge, document conversion to and from DOCX, Markdown and ODT, media upload and serving, link unfurling, transactional email, web push, and per-heading chat.
+
+Six Tiptap pages were read in full. Sources are listed at the end.

+| Verdict              | Meaning                                                                                       |
+| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Have**             | docs.plus does this, in a recognisably similar way.                                           |
+| **Have differently** | docs.plus solves the same need with a different shape. Not a gap.                             |
+| **Cut**              | Considered and deliberately not built. `PROMPT-inject-content-rest-api.md` §11 owns the list. |
+| **Ruled**            | Decided against on principle. Reopening needs new evidence, not a new design.                 |
+| **Gap**              | Genuinely absent, and nobody has decided against it.                                          |
+| **Not a goal**       | Absent because a docs.plus design choice removes the need.                                    |
+
+A **Cut** is not a finding. Naming one as new work is a rule violation here. Every cut below carries the row that would reopen it, from `BACKLOG-hocuspocus-backend.md`.
+
+## Product surfaces
+
+The six pages read for this study describe one Tiptap product: the document server. The platform sells more than that, and the pricing page enumerates the rest. This is the wide view.

+
+### The three product gaps, and whether they matter
+
+**AI is the largest absence, and it is a strategy question, not a backlog row.** Tiptap now sells AI on both sides: an in-editor extension, and a Server AI Toolkit that edits a document with no browser open. docs.plus has no AI anywhere. Note what the server-side half needs, because docs.plus already built it for another reason: a way to read a document, patch part of it, and show the result for review. That is the content API, node targeting, and version compare. So H1 and H2 are the groundwork whether or not AI is ever the goal.
+
+**Tracked changes is the gap a document product feels next.** Version history answers "what did this document look like before". Redlining answers "may I propose this edit". Those are different features, and docs.plus has only the first. Tiptap's is in alpha and sold separately, which says it is hard. It also pairs with comments, and docs.plus comments are already anchored to a text run, so the anchor work is partly done.
+
+**Page layout is a real gap with a narrow audience.** Tiptap Pages gives page breaks, margins, headers and footers in the editor. docs.plus renders PDF through print styles, so a writer never sees page boundaries while editing. This matters for anyone producing a printed document and for nobody else. docs.plus is a collaborative web document with a chat in it, so I would leave this alone.
+
+### What docs.plus has that Tiptap Cloud does not
+
+A gap list read alone would suggest docs.plus is behind. On the product axis that is false, because the central docs.plus feature has no Tiptap counterpart at all.
+
+- **A chat room per heading.** The table of contents carries presence, unread counts and filters, and every heading opens its own conversation. Comments are unified into that same message model rather than bolted beside it.
+- **Media as a first-class citizen.** Upload, serving, an album layout in the feed, and a gallery with zoom and pan.
+- **Link unfurling** through its own metadata pipeline, with request-forgery guards.
+- **Notifications people actually receive:** transactional email, digests compiled on a schedule, and web push.
+- **A document access model:** public, private and read-only, with private meaning owner-only and failing closed.
+- **A document lifecycle:** soft delete, a trash list, restore, permanent delete, and a purge after retention.
+- **Bookmarks, a notification panel, and an admin dashboard.**
+
+Tiptap sells a document editing platform to developers. docs.plus is a product for readers and writers who argue about a document section by section. The overlap is the editor and the collaboration layer, and that is where the parity tables below apply.

+Two things are worth saying plainly. Tiptap's own page says node targeting only works on top-level nodes in the default mode, so its selector has the same limit docs.plus would hit. And Tiptap recommends its UniqueID extension to generate the address, which is the decision H2 has to make.

+## Runtime configuration
+
+Tiptap exposes a settings store: `PUT`, `GET` and `DELETE` on `/api/admin/settings/:key`, changing behaviour with no restart.
+
+docs.plus validates environment variables once at boot and exits non-zero when they are wrong. Nothing is adjustable at runtime.

+## The four document-server gaps
+
+These sit inside the document server, so they are smaller than the three product gaps above. They are candidates, not approved work. Do not copy them into `BACKLOG-hocuspocus-backend.md` without a ruling.
+
+### T1 — No statistics over REST
+
+Tiptap answers "how many people are in this document right now" over HTTP. docs.plus cannot.
+
+**Recommendation: build almost none of it.** Prometheus already carries every server-level number, and live presence already carries the per-document answer to connected clients. The one number with no home is a list of connections per document, for an operator who is not in the document. The admin dashboard is where that belongs, not a public REST route.
+
+### T2 — No outbound webhooks
+
+This is the largest genuine gap, and the only one I would argue for.
+
+Tiptap posts to a URL on document save, and on user connect and disconnect. docs.plus has the same events internally: `document:saved` rides the socket, and the store queue already knows when a save lands. Nothing leaves the system.
+
+**Recommendation: worth a ruling.** An integration story is the reason to build it, and none is written yet. Note the shape carefully if it opens: an outbound call to a caller-supplied address is a request-forgery surface, and this codebase already carries two different guards for that problem.
+
+### T3 — No way to rename a version
+
+`POST .../versions` can name a version at creation. Nothing can rename it afterwards, or edit its metadata. Tiptap has `PATCH .../versions/:versionId`.
+
+**Recommendation: cheap, and low value until someone asks.** The version row already carries a name column. Hold it until a real caller wants it.
+
+### T4 — No runtime configuration
+
+**Recommendation: do not build.** Single-tenant self-hosted software has environment variables and a redeploy. A settings store exists in Tiptap Cloud because it serves many customers who cannot restart each other's servers. That reason does not apply here.
+
+## What this comparison does not change
+
+Every cut above stays cut. This document is a survey of a neighbouring product, so it is not the new evidence that reopens a decision. Reopening the content-injection cuts still runs through H1, H1b, H1c and H2, and those rows already carry the argument and the cost.
+
+Two findings reinforce work already tracked. Tiptap's warning that its contributor list is unverified describes the same class of weakness as the accepted `history.revert` hazard. And Tiptap's own rate limit is thirty times looser than the docs.plus limiter, which is worth knowing when H6 is answered.

 3. **By longest common subsequence, as `unchanged`.** The key is the canonical hash of the whole section.

That is what stops the editor's first-open pass reading as a whole new document.

 - **One `MarkdownManager` per process** (`getMarkdownManager()`, `domain/markdownExport.ts`). Constructing a second mutates the global `marked` singleton and its handlers accumulate rather than replace, so a per-call manager leaks unboundedly in a long-lived process. Import parses through the export instance.
 - **`document-changes` and `document-versions` look alike on purpose. Measured 2026-09-02; do not merge them.** `canonicalSection` already calls `canonicalizeBlock`, and `pairSections` already calls `matchBlocks`, so the shared primitives are consumed rather than copied. `diffBlocks` returns a block edit script with Yjs client ids; `diffSections` returns section status and word magnitude. The three stores read the same table through different interfaces — head, by version, by time — and all three decode through one primitive, `ydocToPmJson`, reached by `readContent`. Only `diffBlocks` skips that adapter, because it needs ProseMirror positions. The single-caller files under `document-changes/domain/` are internal seams used by their own tests; the external seam is the route, and the module root exports `init` and `InitResult` only.
 - **`until` defaults in the controller (`http/controller.ts`), never in the schema.** A schema default publishes a frozen instant into `/openapi.json`, which then drifts from the day the spec was generated. Line 92 says the external seam is the route, and that still holds. The compute deps are nonetheless a subset with no auth middleware, so a separate process can import `createComputeDocumentChanges` by deep path. **This sentence used to say nothing did. That stopped being true when the Change digest shipped, and it was not updated.** Two deep imports exist now, both in the email worker: `lib/email/pgmqConsumer.ts:9` takes `createComputeDocumentChanges` from `domain/computeDocumentChanges`, and `lib/email/digestContentChanges.ts:9` takes types from `modules/document-changes/types`. The module root exports only `init` and `InitResult`, so neither could go through it. The consequence is a split privacy rule: the route wraps compute in `requireServiceRole`, while the digest answers the same question separately in `visibleMetadata` through `resolveContentChangeAudience`. Harden the route and the digest keeps its own rule, with no compiler complaint.
-- **`changed` comes from `anyChanged(summary)`, never from the byte compare.** A window spanning only the editor's first-open `toc-id` stamping pass has different bytes and no real edit. A byte-derived `changed` mails a digest whose body reads "0 sections changed". A pure reorder of sections that kept their text and their `toc-id` is `moved`. `sectionsMoved` counts in `anyChanged`, so `changed` is true. An insertion must not mark later sections `moved`. Ids outside one common subsequence are the ones that moved. **Do not set `changed: true` while every section stays `unchanged`.** That still mails an empty body.
+- **`changed` comes from `anyChanged(summary)`, never from the byte compare.** A window spanning only the editor's first-open `toc-id` stamping pass has different bytes and no real edit. A byte-derived `changed` mails a digest whose body reads "0 sections changed". A pure reorder of stamped sections is the mirror case: those sections pair by `toc-id` and read `unchanged`, so `changed` is `false`. **Do not "fix" that by setting `changed: true` while every section stays `unchanged`** — the digest then contradicts itself. The correct fix is a `moved` value in `SectionStatus` that the summary can count, and it is outside issue #200.
 - **`emptySummary()` is a factory, not a shared constant.** A shared object hands the same `triggers` and `contributors` arrays to every request in the process. One in-place `sort` or `push` then moves one document's contributors into another's. A shallow spread does not fix it: it copies the object and still shares both arrays.
 - **`resolveAnchor`'s `version` tiebreak is load-bearing, and a `since` older than every surviving row resolves to `null`.** A P2002-healed retry mints two rows inside the same second, and `createdAt desc` alone would pick an arbitrary one of them. The null case is not a bug: the whole document then reads as `added`. The window summary also drops its lower bound to version `0`, so `versions`, `triggers` and `contributors` then cover the whole history. Both facts are contract — see [API.md](./API.md#the-window-bounds-commit-time).
 - **`zippable` refuses to zip two sections that both carry a `toc-id`, and there is no positional title rule.** Zipping them hides a deletion and calls a new section an edit. Overruling a stable `toc-id` reports one deleted heading as two contradictory rows.

An out-of-order commit or a divergent concurrent fallback can therefore never clobber newer edits into the latest version. Keep them in lockstep — do not let one merge and the other plain-insert.
 - `stopOnSignals: false` stays in the Hocuspocus config — the app's `shutdown()` owns SIGTERM ordering; the library's own handler `process.exit(0)`s before the queue/DB/observability cleanup tail.

The listener is bound via `HOCUSPOCUS_INTERNAL_HTTP_PORT` / `HOCUSPOCUS_INTERNAL_HTTP_HOST`. The host default is `0.0.0.0` on purpose. Prometheus scrapes it cross-container by DNS discovery. `infra-target-down` pages when the `hocuspocus-server` scrape job is `up==0`.

+- **Port 4003 is the WS process's internal HTTP listener** — Prometheus `/metrics` plus two service-role write paths. Those are the content apply (`POST /internal/documents/:documentId/content`) and the version ops app (`documentVersions.initWsOps().app` — checkpoint and restore, the restore reaching the same `applyContentToDoc(…, 'replace')`). The listener is bound via `HOCUSPOCUS_INTERNAL_HTTP_PORT` / `HOCUSPOCUS_INTERNAL_HTTP_HOST`. The host default is `0.0.0.0` on purpose. Prometheus scrapes it cross-container by DNS discovery. `infra-target-down` pages when the `hocuspocus-server` scrape job is `up==0`. A loopback default would silently kill every WS metric the moment the compose env went missing. Never Traefik-route it; REST reaches it through `HOCUSPOCUS_INTERNAL_URL`. Open work sits in [`BACKLOG-hocuspocus-backend.md`](../../BACKLOG-hocuspocus-backend.md).
 - **Content injection flows only through `openDirectConnection` + `transact`, and REST never imports `src/lib/queue.ts`.** That import opens a Redis socket and two BullMQ Queues at module scope. It throws outright when `REDIS_HOST`/`REDIS_PORT` are unset. The WS hop is what keeps it out of the REST process and out of `bun test`. **Unit tests that mock the store queue must type against `src/types/queue.types.ts` (e.g. `EnqueueStoreDocumentParams`).** **Never import `src/lib/queue.ts` for types alone**, or evaluating the module opens Redis before `mock.module` runs and the no-infra gate fails.
 - **`encodeContent` is the single fail-closed choke point for injected content.** It enforces `MAX_CONTENT_NODES` (50 000) and `MAX_CONTENT_DEPTH` (100) through one **iterative** pre-walk before `TiptapTransformer.toYdoc`. Never use recursion there, or the walk overflows on the very input it exists to reject. It then stamps `toc-id` on heading/table nodes that lack one or duplicate one (first occurrence in document order keeps the id). It then enforces the title-first rule, and then checks content expressions against an authoring schema. That order is what a 422 reports: a payload failing both gates returns the title-heading detail and never the schema one. `applyContentToDoc` clones every node before it touches the live fragment. `clone()` recurses, so a throw has to land while the fragment is still whole. Otherwise collaborators see a half-wipe.
 - Prod deploy order: `hocuspocus-worker` (scale 2, matching compose replicas) before `hocuspocus-server`, and `hocuspocus-server` before `rest-api`. Consumers learn a new job or wire shape before producers emit it.

 - **Footer links are signed in Node, never in Postgres.** `lib/unsubscribeToken.ts` owns signing and verification, keyed on `EMAIL_UNSUBSCRIBE_SECRET`; Postgres keeps only `apply_unsubscribe(user_id, action)`, the write. The SQL signer was deleted because a hosted project's `postgres` role cannot set `app.unsubscribe_secret` — `ALTER DATABASE` and `ALTER ROLE` both raise `42501` — so the secret was never provisioned, `get_email_footer_links` raised on every send, `sender.ts` swallowed the error, and every footer shipped a tokenless link the route then rejected. Postgres also wraps `encode(…, 'base64')` at 76 characters, which the old signer never stripped, so a long payload carried an embedded newline. **Do not re-propose signing in SQL, and do not reach for Vault: the fix was to delete the requirement, not to store the secret somewhere else.** `apply_unsubscribe` names a user with no proof of identity, so its `service_role`-only grant is load-bearing.
 - **The contributor count is a floor, never a census, and zero never ships.** `withSections` reads `outcome.result.summary.contributors.length`, which compute already resolved, so no new query exists. It sets the field only above 0, `contributorLine` returns an empty string for absent and 0, and both surfaces guard on that string. The number can legitimately be 0 while the document changed: a service-role write sets `triggeredBy` to an explicit null, and `resolveProfiles` returns `[]` on a profile outage. `Documents.contributors` is also per-replica and editor-only. Never word that line as complete.
 - **`fromLastLeft` must agree with the clamp, not just with the visit.** `resolveDigestSince` clamps the window start to the retention floor. Asking only whether a last visit exists let a reader who left in February get "Changed since you left, on 8 Aug 2026", six months out. The predicate now also requires the resolved `since` to equal that visit, so a clamped window falls back to the frequency line. Vague beats false, and the sections and the count then describe the same clamped window the words do.
-- **The mail body is a heading, then the passage under it.** The heading links to that place on the pad (`?id=` plus the toc-id). Keep the mail header, greeting, document title, Open, and footer. A line sits under the changed-since line. Do not put Chat or View on the heading row. Do not restore the unread query.
-- **A heading chat uses that heading's toc-id as its channel id.** The mail paints it under the heading. A channel that is not a heading stays in its card. An unchanged heading stays out of the mail.
-- **The default is one mail per document.** The Redis key is `email:digest-grouping`. The only other value is `aggregate`. A missing key, a bad value, or no Redis stays on one mail per document.
-- **The HTML cap defaults to 90 KB.** The Redis key is `email:digest-max-kb`. The allowed range is 10 to 102. The fit drops the oldest chat first. It then shortens one long passage to its first sentence. It never drops a heading that changed. Admin sets both values on Notifications. The routes are `GET` and `PUT /api/admin/email/digest-grouping`.

@@ -18,65 +18,17 @@ plus the house order in [`RELEASE_POLICY.md`](../../RELEASE_POLICY.md).
 
 ### Added
 
-- Your own empty profile card keeps one row: "No bio or links yet." and
-  Add bio and links. The button opens Settings on Profile.
-
 - History paints the latest Pad title rename above the editor. Chat paints
   the live username, then the snapshot name if the users join is missing.
   A Documents-list rename of the open pad writes the header and relays the
   room when a provider exists.
 
-- `AvatarStack` `showActivity` paints an activity chip (`Icons.emoji` or
-  `Icons.mic`) on a face's top-right corner, in `ParticipantsList` and
-  `TocRowTrail`. It pops in over 200 ms, then plays `avatar-typing` 6 times
-  (4.8 s, under the 5 s line in WCAG 2.2.2). The wire is `startActivity` /
-  `stopActivity` on `typingIndicator`: 300 ms start delay, 3 s keepalive, 8 s
-  expiry.
-
 ### Changed
 
-- `useVoiceRecorder` takes `onSend` and returns `sendPreview` and `discard`,
-  not `onAttach`, `confirmAttach`, and three reset paths. `useSendVoiceWhenReady`
-  sends a released note once its tile is ready. `addFiles` returns the ids it
-  queued and creates each row before its upload starts. `MessageMediaItem`
-  gains `duration` and `waveform`, which `readAudioShape` sets for voice notes.
-
 - The sign-in form checks the email on rest-api, not on Next.
 
-- The composer + menu is a dialog named Insert, with plain buttons and no

Do not collapse them back to near-identical neutrals (the pre-recalibration `#fafbfc/#edf0f5/#e5eaf1` trio read washed-out) — light docked UI reads via border + background step, not shadow.
 - **Media-anchored overlay ink is fixed black/white by design** (upload-progress scrims on thumbnails, avatar-hover camera overlay, video/gallery letterbox). Those surfaces sit on imagery, where black scrim + white ink holds in both themes. Do not "tokenize" them to `neutral`/`base-content`, which turns into a gray wash in dark mode.
 - **Document sheet** (`_blocks.scss` `.pad .editor .tiptap__editor`): `border` + `border-radius` + `box-shadow` must use `--pad-sheet-*` tokens. Do not reintroduce per-theme `box-shadow` literals on the sheet in light mode.
-- **Docked chat** (`ChatroomPanelLayout.tsx`): `border-t border-base-300` only — no drop shadow. `role="region"` and `aria-label` (`Chat: {heading}` or `Heading chat`). Opacity-only `doc-content-in` 200ms. No drop shadow. Never a transform on this panel (it hosts the TipTap composer). The sash lives in `useResizeContainer` only (`open | drag | settle-to-min | settle-to-close`). Same snap recipe as TOC (`useTocResize`): linear paint below min, inner-column fade via `isContentHidden` (not the panel; one `isOvershoot` flip per 320 crossing), snap at half min (`CHAT_SNAP_HEIGHT` 160), abort 160–320 settles height to 320, snap-close settles height to 0 then `closeHeadingChatroom()`. Both settles use `--motion-overlay-in` 120ms `ease-out` (`transitionend` on `height`, fallback `MOTION_OVERLAY_IN_MS + 50`). No flick. Close button stays. Never persist a below-min height. Fire `chat-panel-resize-end` after settle; on hide, close first so the rail does not jump. `CHAT_CLOSE` and the `CHAT_OPEN` toggle-close restore focus through `focusHeadingChatTrigger` (TOC chat trigger, else the rail reopen button).

No `isolate z-0` on the TOC column when the sash lives on the row (that trap buried the sash under chat). No `justify-around`, no `width: calc(100% - tocWidth)` on the editor column — that regresses a pixel gap at the TOC↔chat junction. Tick-rail behaviour (session-only, two mounts, persist, preview) lives in §TOC And Heading Actions.

It unmounts while `isRail`. While chat is open it ends at `--chat-panel-height` so it meets the chat gripper and does not run through the panel. Wide TOC is `h-full` in `wide` and `settle-to-wide` (L-shape). `settle-to-rail` and the rail use `h-[calc(100%-var(--chat-panel-height,0px))]` so the height step starts with the width tween, not at the mount swap. Do not inset the rail for the sash. Docked chat is `z-[42]` (same band as the rail) so the gripper hairline paints over the join. It stays the **sole** continuous hairline above the docked chat and **below** floating overlays (`z-50`). Presence overhang paints over the hairline; Dialog/Popover (`z-50`) stay above both. Do not nest the sash under TOC `isolate` or chat paints over it and the panel edge reads as a thicker, offset second line. Do not bump TOC to `z-[51]+` (that stacks a docked rail above modals).

 - **Pane-internal surfaces size against the pane, never the window.** `ComposerEmojiPanel` measures its host column with a `ResizeObserver`; `window.innerHeight * 0.7` overshoots the pane and leaves the header and composer no room on a small phone.
 - **Mode values are `closed | half | expanded`** (`ChatPaneMode` in `types/ui.ts`). Never `full` — the pane cannot cover the document. Never `snap` or `detent`; those belong to `react-modal-sheet` and UIKit.
 - **Closed unmounts the chat subtree**, like the sheet did. Do not mount it at zero height. A zero-height Virtuoso satisfies its own `scrollHeight > visibleListHeight + 1` settle check and fires `onInitialVisible` with a meaningless index. That call reaches `advance_read_cursor`, which recomputes `unread_message_count` server-side.
-- **Readiness is `chatRoom.editorInstance != null`**, because closed unmounts. `openHeadingChatroom` has no four-state lifecycle and no `setSheetState` force-write. A focus request is one pending `chatRoom.composerFocusRequest` for one heading. `openHeadingChatroom` writes it on every open: a comment or `focusEditor` sets it, and any other open clears it. The composer of that heading takes the request when it mounts, or at once if it already shows. It focuses only if focus has not moved since the request. `destroyChatRoom` clears it. There is no timed retry.
+- **Readiness is `chatRoom.editorInstance != null`**, because closed unmounts. `openHeadingChatroom` has no four-state lifecycle and no `setSheetState` force-write; `FOCUS_RETRY.initialDelayMs` (600ms) already clears the 200ms height transition.
 - **The pad owns the keyboard only while the pane is closed.** `ToolbarMobile` and `EditFAB` both gate on `paneMode === 'closed'`. Keep that predicate out of `selectDocumentEditingLocked` — `CONTEXT.md` reserves the editing lock for the durable access concept.
 - **Feed rows need `shrink-0`** (`MessageCardContext`). A scrolling flex column shrinks children instead of overflowing them, which flattens media tiles.
 - **Pad margins that were tuned for a full-height viewport are clamped to container height**: `useCaretPosition`'s `SCROLL_MARGIN` and `useHeadingScrollSpy`'s anchor/hysteresis/past-max bands. At the 96px document floor a fixed 100px margin inverts the visible band.
-- **`useSyncChatPanelHeight` is desktop-only.** Mobile must not call it. Call it from `DesktopPadEditor` (first sibling of `TocTickRail`) so its `useLayoutEffect` writes `--chat-panel-height` on `.editor` before the rail paints. Tick budget reads measured nav only — do not subtract chat height in JS. Drag still uses `chat-panel-resize-*`. `useChatRailReserve` returns `{ dragging }` only so a tick does not remount viewport listeners. `.editorWrapper` is `h-full`, so a `marginBottom` does not clear the sheet. Document clearance is `padding-bottom: calc(300px + var(--chat-panel-height, 0px))` in `_blocks.scss`.
+- **`useAdjustEditorSizeForChatRoom` is desktop-only.** Mobile must not call it; it wrote `marginBottom: 410px` (the desktop `panelHeight` default) onto a pad no panel ever docked into.
 - **Opening a modal sheet must not close the pane.** The pane's lifetime follows `paneMode` alone, independent of `activeSheet`. The filter sheet and the rest of the registry therefore open over a pane that stays mounted underneath. `BottomSheet`'s old teardown effect destroyed the chat the moment `activeSheet` changed; do not reintroduce a teardown keyed on sheet state.
 - Mode changes need no scroll-anchor. Shrinking the document scroller raises `scrollHeight − clientHeight` so `scrollTop` stays valid. Growing it clamps to the new maximum, which is where the reader already was.
 - Hardware back: the pane pushes its own `{ chatPane: true }` history entry (composer-emoji precedent). Do **not** put the pane on `useHistoryDismiss` — that marker is shared with registry sheets and would destroy the room when a sheet closes.

Snap line `TOC_SNAP_WIDTH` 120. During drag, `tocWidth` does not follow the pointer. Paint follows the pointer. `lastWideWidthRef` only ratchets up. Do not copy `tocWidth` onto `lastWide` on every wide render. On snap, persist that remembered wide width (default 320 if the memory is only the 240 floor) and paint 32. Abort 120–240 paints 240 this session only; it does not overwrite `lastWide` or storage. Wide release commits intended. Persist effect writes `tocWidth` when that value commits. It skips `rail`, `settle-to-rail`, and `drag`. Abort does not change `tocWidth`, so it does not write. Clamp must not restore paint while the column is still on the 240 abort floor.

-  - A short tick stack sits in the middle of the live rail (`railStackOffset(viewport.height, stackH)`). Chat open and close tween that offset with `--motion-panel`. Sash drag has no tween. First paint skips the tween (`stackReady`). Do not lock the stack to the window mid-line.
-  - Rail spy and chat-open ticks are `bg-primary`. `aria-current` on spy only. Wide TOC spy stays `menu-focus` / `base-300`. That split is a maintainer correction — do not paint the rail spy as `base-300`.

It ring-selects a media node with a PM `NodeSelection`, which is PM-managed, so there is no foreign DOM mutation and no node-view reload. It calls no `editor.focus()`, so no iOS keyboard opens.

 - **Read-cursor advance is viewport-driven, not at-bottom-only.** `ChatList.onScroll` calls `advance(seq)` for the last fully-visible message on every scroll tick; `useChannelMessages.onInitialVisible` fires one rAF-polled seed after `data.replace` settles. Reducing this to an at-bottom-only signal regresses the Telegram-style UX (messages read while scrolling up never clear).
 - **`advance_read_cursor` recomputes `unread_message_count`** in the same UPDATE that bumps `last_read_seq` (plus stamps `last_read_update_at`); without the recompute the TOC badge desyncs forever. The TOC `<UnreadBadge>` and `<JumpToPresentButton>` both read `useUnreadCount(channelId)` (not raw `channels.*.unread_message_count` alone). `useUnreadCount` prefers `optimisticUnreadStore` while the user is reading in-view. `ChatroomContext` decrements on viewport cursor advance, and `useCatchUserPresences` reconciles via `setOptimisticUnread` on `channel_members` postgres_changes. Clear the map entry when the server count lands. `JumpToPresentButton` renders `max(unreadCount, newCount)` so persisted unread and session-local arrivals stack onto one chip.
 - **`lastOptimisticSeqRef` MUST seed from `channel_members.last_read_seq`** once `isChannelDataLoaded` flips true. The ref tracks "highest seq the user has visually crossed in this session". If it starts at `0`, the first `onLastVisibleIndexChange` walk-backward counts every loaded message as newly crossed and decrements `optimisticUnread` by the entire window. Opening a chatroom with many unread then instantly zeros the badge. Seed from the persisted server cursor (`useChatStore.channelMembers.get(channelId).get(userId).last_read_seq`) so the walk only counts messages past the cursor (actual unread). Guard the seed with `if (lastOptimisticSeqRef.current > 0) return` so a later effect re-run doesn't undo session progress. Also: the store is named `optimisticUnreadStore` — never reintroduce `optical*` spellings.
-- Send path: composer routes through `ChatroomContext.send` → `useSendMessage.send`. That call appends a `pending` row to Virtuoso's `data` and INSERTs directly via `persistChatMessage()` in `sendChatMessage.ts` (no `sendMessage` API on first send). On error, flips to `failed`; the postgres_changes INSERT echo flips it to `sent` via `useChannelRealtime`'s in-place merge. **Media sends:** `validate_message_medias()` requires each path to exist in `storage.objects` before INSERT/UPDATE — upload-then-send is load-bearing. Gate with `composerSendGate` / `isUploading` in the composer; confirm storage with `ensureChatMediaInsertReady()` in `chatMediaStorageReadiness.ts`. Every composer mode probes through `ensureOutboundStorageReady()` in `outboundMessagePipeline.ts` before it dispatches or clears. The early clear is the `cleanupAfterSubmit()` call that runs before dispatch when `shouldClearComposerEarly` is true. That holds when the send has no `htmlChunks` and is not an edit. A composer send sets `storageVerified`, so `persistChatMessage` skips its own probe. `retryChatMessage` still probes.

 - **Own-send always scrolls to tail.** `data.append([optimistic], () => 'smooth')` is unconditional — the user follows their own message down even when scrolled up to re-read history. The `atBottom`-gated "don't yank" rule applies ONLY to others' arrivals in `useChannelRealtime`. Reverting to `({ atBottom }) => atBottom ? 'smooth' : false` here regresses Discord/Slack/Telegram parity for own sends.
 - Duplicate-key classification is centralized in `components/chatroom/utils/postgresErrors.ts::isDuplicateKeyError`. Both `persistChatMessage` and `retryChatMessage` import it; do not inline PgError code/message checks.
 - Retry path: failed-row tap → `ChatroomContext.retry(clientId)` → `useSendMessage.retry` → `retryChatMessage()` in `sendChatMessage.ts` (the only remaining caller of the `sendMessage` API). Re-issues with the original client UUID; 23505 duplicate-key is treated as success (the row was already persisted on a prior attempt). Returns `PersistChatMessageResult`; the caller (`useSendMessage.retry`) owns the pending/sent/failed UI flip against Virtuoso's data.
-- **Sent attachments leave the strip with their uploads kept.** A send that is not an edit calls `releaseSentAttachments`, never `clearAttachments`. The send calls `releaseSentAttachments` before `cleanupAfterSubmit()`, so the sent files leave the draft list first. `cleanupAfterSubmit()` resets the reply or comment memory and clears the editor. The reset fires the effect in `useComposerAttachmentLifecycle` that deletes the upload of every entry that the mode added. The clear also fires the text writer in `useTiptapEditor`, which saves the draft list as the saved draft. A sent file left in the list would come back as a draft tile, and a second Send would post its upload twice. A failed row keeps the media for Retry and Delete. A send that fails with no row puts its attachments back when the editor is still empty and no mode is set. A failed comment has no row, so its text and comment mode go back too. The files that the comment added are recorded again, so a later cancel deletes their uploads.

 ### Chatroom List (Virtuoso)
 
 - **`ItemLocation` is index-based.** `VirtuosoMessageList`'s `data.replace` and `scrollToItem` accept `{ index: number | 'LAST', align, behavior }`; the string `'lastItem'` and id-based `{ id, … }` shapes silently no-op behind the EmptyPlaceholder. Resolve a numeric index from the items array via `findIndex`; never wallpaper the call with `as any`.
-- **A purge replace lands late.** On a list that already has rows, `data.replace(items, { purgeItemSizes: true })` parks the new rows until Virtuoso renders an empty list and waits one frame. An append in that gap goes into the old window, and the landing then drops it. That is how a send made far from the tail lost its optimistic row, and with it the text of a send that later failed. `useJumpTo` therefore waits until its window has landed, so await it before any append. `whenReplaced` checks for the first new item object; a 30-frame cap stops a hang when the list never renders. `whenReplaced` and the Virtuoso landing both run on animation frames, and a hidden tab runs none. So a send made far from the tail waits until the tab is shown again. Gaps are still open, because a replace keeps only the rows it is given. A send during the first window load, or during another send's jump, loses its row to the later replace. A realtime row drained after `applyWindowSeqRefs` and before the landing is lost too.
 - **Layout contract.** `.message-feed` is `flex min-h-0 flex-1 flex-col overflow-hidden`; Virtuoso owns the scroll, not the wrapper. `<VirtuosoMessageList style={{ height: '100%' }}>` so the scroller fills the parent. Reverting `.message-feed` to a plain block + `overflow-y-auto` re-introduces an ~9000 px scroller stretch with items rendered far below the visible panel.
-- **Panel resize bypasses React during drag.** During a drag, `useResizeContainer` writes `containerRef.current.style.height` and dispatches `CustomEvent('chat-panel-resize-tick', { detail: height })`. Per-mousemove Zustand writes cascade through every `state.chatRoom` subscriber → Virtuoso ResizeObserver → `bottom-smooth` thrash at 60Hz; direct-DOM avoids that. Each drag writes the store at most once (`setOrUpdateChatPanelHeight`), at release or when a settle ends. `stepChatRelease` is the only release step. Settle finish reads `mode`. Cleanup removes the listener and timer; it does not call `finish()`. Before a settle sets the to-height, one rAF passes, so React owns the from-height. Do not write 0 into `panelHeight` or `docsy:chat-height`. Reduced motion jumps. Desktop only — do not change the mobile pane grabber. The snap recipe lives in [apps/webapp/CLAUDE.md](../../../CLAUDE.md) §Pad Workspace Surfaces; `useSyncChatPanelHeight` and the dead `marginBottom` live in its §Mobile Chat Pane.
+- **Panel resize bypasses React during drag.** `useResizeContainer.doDrag` writes `containerRef.current.style.height` directly and dispatches `CustomEvent('chat-panel-resize-tick', { detail: height })`; `useAdjustEditorSizeForChatRoom` listens and mirrors to the editor wrapper's `marginBottom`. Single `setOrUpdateChatPanelHeight(lastHeight)` commit on `stopDrag` drives localStorage + the post-drag Virtuoso re-measure. Per-mousemove Zustand writes cascade through every `state.chatRoom` subscriber → Virtuoso ResizeObserver → `bottom-smooth` thrash at 60Hz; direct-DOM avoids that.
 - **Sticky day chip uses `getBoundingClientRect`, not `offsetTop`.** `StickyDayHeader` reads the topmost visible `[data-msg-date]` element via rAF-throttled `querySelectorAll` against the scroller. Virtuoso positions each item `absolute` inside a per-item wrapper, so `node.offsetTop` is 0 relative to that wrapper. The topmost-detection loop would therefore always return the first item regardless of scroll. Visibility is scroll-driven with a `HIDE_AFTER_MS = 1500` idle fade — `data-msg-date` is stamped on the message card outer div + inline `DateChip` + `SystemNotifyChip` wrappers.
 - **Hover-menu integration (Floating UI + Virtuoso).** The four pieces are coupled and easy to misdiagnose individually — keep all of them in mind when any one breaks:
   1. **Visibility tracking → `IntersectionObserver`, not `getBoundingClientRect` polling.** Virtuoso items mount with transient/zero rects. A one-shot mount-time rect check sticks at `false`, which gates `useHover.enabled`. That gate silently disables the menu until the user scrolls. Bookmarked rows that mutate after mount (BookmarkIndicator + reactions render late) have the same failure mode without the scroll workaround. IntersectionObserver fires on initial paint _and_ on layout-driven intersection changes; both bugs collapse into one fix. Use `threshold: [0, 0.5, 1]` (not just `0.5`) so the first callback fires regardless of starting ratio.

 ### Chatroom Realtime
 
 - **Per-channel topic.** `useChannelRealtime` subscribes to `chatroom:${channelId}` for postgres_changes (INSERT/UPDATE on `messages`) plus broadcast events. Anon viewers receive the same events as authed — the source-table RLS (`messages_visible_select` / `messages_public_anon_select`) gates per-row, and anon's anon-JWT carries `role = 'anon'` so the `TO anon` policy matches. If realtime appears broken globally on `chatroom:*` topics, suspect `realtime.messages` RLS (`07-3-notification-broadcast.sql:109`) — a missing topic policy can block subscription authorization at the WS layer.
-- **Own sends have no motion.** Their pending and failed look lives in `.cursor/docs/design-system.md` §MessageCard row. Do not animate Virtuoso item wrappers (they position via transform). `MessageCardProvider` stamps `data-status` (`pending` / `sent` / `failed`) on the card root only when the row has a `client_id`. The insert never writes `messages.client_id`, so server rows and merged echoes have none, and the stamp goes away when the echo lands.
+- **Own-send rise (Telegram-style).** `msg-send-in` (transform-only `translateY(8px)→none`, layout-neutral so Virtuoso measurement is untouched) plays on `DefaultMessageBody` while `status === 'pending'`. That is the discriminator that excludes history, pagination, and others' arrivals for free. Retry re-adding `pending` replays it (wanted). Opacity stays owned by the pending dim. Do not animate Virtuoso item wrappers (they position via transform).
 - **Row-merge preserves RPC-computed columns.** `useChannelRealtime`'s drain uses `incomingRow.user_details != null` as the discriminator. Present → RPC-hydrated row (`fetch_message_window` / `fetch_messages_since`), authoritative. Absent → raw `postgres_changes` payload, graft `user_details` + `is_bookmarked` + `bookmark_id` from the existing in-memory row. Those columns are JOIN-computed in the RPCs, never on the `messages` table. So postgres_changes UPDATEs (reactions, edits, soft-deletes) can't carry them. Without the graft, reactions blank the avatar AND wipe the bookmark indicator. Both merge sites (UPDATE drain + optimistic→echo arrival merge) must stay in lockstep.
-- **`newestSeqRef` null means "window not loaded".** The echo drain in `useChannelRealtime` waits while it is null. So the first window load (`useChannelMessages`) sets 0 for an empty window, not null; a later window replace (`applyWindowSeqRefs`) keeps the old value. With null, the first send in a new chat never merged its echo and stayed pending until a reload.
 - **Catchup is paginated.** On `SUBSCRIBED` / `online` / `focus`, `useChannelRealtime.catchUp` loops `fetch_messages_since(p_since_seq = newestSeqRef)` until a page returns fewer than `CATCHUP_PAGE = 100` rows or `MAX_PAGES = 20` (2000-row cap) fires. A single-shot 100-row call silently drops gaps on busy channels after multi-hour disconnects. On cap-overflow the loop warn-logs and bails; the next user-initiated `snapToPresent()` resyncs from tail.
 - **Soft-delete broadcast contract.** `handle_message_soft_delete` runs on the `NULL → NOT NULL` transition only. The `message_soft_delete` trigger carries a `WHEN (OLD.deleted_at IS NULL AND NEW.deleted_at IS NOT NULL)` clause, in lockstep with the sibling counter trigger in `09-message_counter.sql`. That clause gates the **whole** DEFINER cleanup body, not just the broadcast. A `deleted_at` no-op write (`PATCH {deleted_at:null}` on a live row) therefore can't fire it. It emits `realtime.send({id, channel_id}, 'message:deleted', 'chatroom:' || channel_id, FALSE)`. `private=FALSE` because anon viewers can't observe the postgres_changes UPDATE. The anon SELECT policy filters `deleted_at IS NULL`, so the realtime layer drops the event whose NEW row state fails the policy. Authed members receive both signals; `deleteBufferRef` is a `Set` so the duplicate is idempotent. Accepted, not fixed. (a) The id-only payload is readable by anyone holding the channel UUID, and any subscriber can also _forge_ a `message:deleted` on the public topic. Both are local-view-only: a forged prune self-heals on reload, and authed clients also get the authoritative postgres_changes UPDATE. The cheap client-side close, if ever wanted, is to ignore the broadcast when authed. (b) The unread decrement covers only members with an unread `notifications` row, a strict subset of the unconditional increment population. Online / muted / `notif_state≠ALL` members therefore drift upward. That self-heals on channel open via `advance_read_cursor`'s authoritative recompute. Topic and event name must not change without bumping the FE listener in `useChannelRealtime`.
 - **Deep-link bridge.** `Chatroom.tsx` resolves the Virtuoso anchor as `deepLinkMessageId ?? store.chatRoom.fetchMsgsFromId ?? URL.msg_id`. All four in-app entry points (`BookmarkItem`, `hrefEventHandler`, `NotificationItem`, `usePushNotifications`) feed `fetchMsgsFromId` through `setChatRoom`; shared links land via `?msg_id=`. Without any source, anchor falls back to `first_unread`. `useChannelMetadata` independently passes the same `startMsgId` to `fetchChannelInitialData` for anchor-existence validation. The duplication is intentional. It surfaces invalid deep-links as a user-visible error rather than silently falling back to tail.

 ### MessageComposer
 
-- **Canonical row (mobile + desktop): `[ + ] field [ 😊 ] [ 🎤/✈ ]`** — no `@` or separate Aa/attach buttons in the row (type `@`; mention is also in the format toolbar). The left **`ComposerInsertMenu`** opens on click or tap, with no tooltip and no hover-open. Its panel is a dialog named `Insert`, with plain button rows, not a menu. Its rows are Attach file, Text formatting (toggles the format bar), and Record voice when send is showing. **`ComposerPrimaryAction`** switches mic ↔ ghost **`text-primary`** send when `canSend` — the same control species as + / emoji / mic, not a filled primary disc. It renders `null` during voice preview (the bar owns Send). **`VoiceNoteButton`** / **`ComposerOverflowMenu`** stay deleted.
-- Voice: **`useVoiceRecorder`** + **`VoiceRecordingBar`** — hold to record; release sends. `useSendVoiceWhenReady` calls the normal `submitMessage` once the note's tile is ready. It sends only when that tile is alone and the editor is empty; otherwise the note waits for a manual Send. An error or a removed tile drops the pending send. A hold under 1 s, or a finger that leaves before the microphone answers (a tap, the permission prompt), sends nothing and shows the hold hint. A tap never sends on a phone (maintainer ruling). Slide left cancels and slide up locks; the locked Stop and the 5-minute cap open the preview, whose Send sends. Every path back to idle is `discard`. The drag writes `--voice-drag-x`, `--voice-drag-y`, and `--voice-cancel-progress` on the composer root, never React state. Files are named by MIME (`voiceNoteFileName`), so iOS mp4 audio is stored as `.m4a`, not `.webm`. Starting a recording closes the other composer overlays (§MessageComposer overlay contention).
-- **The mic needs a computed `touch-action: none`.** Without it, a slide is a browser pan: `pointercancel` ends the hold. An unlayered SCSS `touch-action` rule on composer buttons once beat the layered `touch-none` utility, so no slide ever worked. Do not add one back.
-- **Voice notes carry upload-time `duration` and a 40-bar `waveform`** (`readAudioShape` in `components/chatroom/utils/chatAudio.ts`, like image `width` and `height`). Only the sender decodes, at 8000 Hz; the feed never does. A voice note is a file named `voice-<epoch ms>.<ext>` (`isVoiceNoteName`), and the player hides that name. `parseAudioShape` checks both the insert and other clients' rows, and a waveform must have exactly 40 bars. `parseMessageMedias` and `messageMediasForInsert` copy known keys only, so a new media field must be added to both.
-- **Activity chips.** `choosingEmoji` and `recordingVoice` ride the `typingIndicator` broadcast as `startActivity` / `stopActivity`. Only the composer emoji UI and voice recording send; reaction pickers never do. A start waits 300 ms, so a quick open and close sends nothing. The sender repeats it every 3 s. Peers expire it 8 s after the last start. That stays above two keepalives, so one lost resend keeps the chip. It lives in client-only `Profile.activity`, never in `status` (the Postgres enum `user_status`). One activity per face: the chip replaces the typing bounce. Anon matches typing: it never sends and never receives.
-- Mobile composer dock steps off the feed: **`.composer-bar--mobile`** is `border-t border-base-300 bg-base-200` (feed stays `bg-base-100` paper) — never flat white-on-white. No format-panel fill of its own (inherits the well). Metrics: `items-center`, `min-h-11`, ProseMirror **`2.75rem`** scoped under that class (not viewport `sm:`). Touch targets via **`isMobile`** → 44px mobile / 32px desktop. Compact **`AttachmentStrip`**: each cell holds a 44 px tile (`size-11`) with full-tile Retry on a failed upload. A 44 px ghost Remove sits beside the tile, never on it, so the two targets do not overlap. Skeleton mirrors the same frame.

 - Format toolbar: shared **`components/Toolbar/formatToolbarLayout.ts`** — groups **B I S `</>` | Link @ | • 1. | Quote CodeBlock**; mobile **`ComposerFormatPanel`** is a 5×2 grid; desktop uses inline **`FormattingToolbar`**; format tooltips use **`placement: top`**.
 - Attach: **`useComposerAttachInput`** backs the Attach file row in **`ComposerInsertMenu`** — the sole attach entry point.
-- After submit, `cleanupAfterSubmit` in `useComposerSubmit` decides the refocus. On a phone or tablet, `keepKeyboardAfterSubmit` (`isMobile`) is true, so the editor always refocuses. On desktop it refocuses only if the editor was the active element. Neither path refocuses while the emoji panel or the link dialog is open. Enter-key submits keep focus naturally.
-- `useEditor(...)` in `components/chatroom/components/MessageComposer/hooks/useTiptapEditor.ts` is built once per mount. Its `onUpdate` reads `workspaceId` and `channelId` from `draftCtxRef.current`, and an effect keeps that ref current. Do not capture either id in the closure, or drafts cross channels.
+- After submit, refocus the editor only if it was the active element. Otherwise `editor.chain().clearContent(true).focus('start').run()` force-opens the iOS keyboard right after a `ComposerPrimaryAction` tap and produces a visible bounce. Enter-key submits keep focus naturally.
+- `useEditor(...)` in `components/chatroom/components/MessageComposer/hooks/useTiptapEditor.ts` captures `workspaceId` / `channelId` / `isToolbarOpen` in the `onUpdate` closure. This is masked only because `Chatroom.ChannelComposer` remounts on channel key change and drafts never cross. If the composer mount is ever made persistent (a tempting perf win), drafts will silently corrupt across channels. Fix with a refs pattern, or lift `setComposerStateDebounced` into a `useEffect` keyed on the ids.
 - `prepareOutboundContent` must return stable `htmlChunks: string[]` / `textChunks: string[]` fields on both the happy and empty paths, so callers never need an `as` cast. It must not return a nested `chunks` wrapper.
-- **Draft vs mode memory.** Text/HTML drafts live in IndexedDB (`messageComposerDB` via `syncComposerDraft` / `discardComposerDraft`). When IndexedDB fails to open, `messageComposerDB` keeps them in a module-level `Map` instead. Zustand `*MessageMemory` holds reply/edit/comment UI modes only — do not reintroduce `messageDraftMemory`. Edit and comment modes never write the saved draft. When either mode ends, the composer loads the saved draft again. An edit has its own attachment list under the `::edit` key, so an edit never touches the draft's attachments or their uploads.
-- **Post-send draft clear.** A successful send that is not an edit must call `discardComposerDraft` (cancels trailing debounced IDB writes, then deletes the row). An edit save keeps the saved draft, and ending the edit loads it back. A trailing debounced write after clear resurrects sent text when the user reopens the chatroom. The early clear deletes the saved draft, so `useComposerSubmit` reads it during the storage probe. A comment that fails writes it back, so a cancel loads the draft from before the comment.

 - **Formatting toolbar session scope.** Toolbar defaults closed; expanded state is `sessionStorage` via `composerToolbarSession.ts` (per workspace+channel, current tab session only) — not IndexedDB.
-- **Anon Enter opens sign-in.** `useComposerSubmit` calls `openComposerSignIn(channelId)` when `!user`; do not let Enter silently no-op for visitors. That helper sets `returnTo` with `open_heading_chat` and calls `openInlineSignInDialog`. That opens `SignInDialog` on desktop, and the `signIn` sheet (`SignInSheet`) for a phone or tablet user agent. It does **not** `pushState` the live URL (cancel would leave the chat param behind).
-- **No per-keystroke state in `MessageComposerContext`.** Context exposes transition-only `canSend` (via `composerSendGate` in `MessageComposer` — text, ready attachment count, upload/error flags). It also exposes stable handles (`editor`, `submitMessage`, attachment callbacks) and reply/edit/comment memory. An edit's saved attachments load as ready, so an edit with no text and no attachment left shows no send control. Never put the `attachments` array or upload progress in context — `AttachmentStrip` subscribes to `composerAttachmentsStore` directly. `ComposerPrimaryAction` shows the send button only while `canSend` is true, and the mic otherwise; neither has a `disabled` prop. `useComposerSubmit.isSubmittable` re-checks at click time. Never re-add `text` or `html` to the context type.
-- **`composerAttachmentsStore` read paths:** use exported `selectComposerAttachmentsByKey(key)` (private module `emptyAttachments` fallback) — never inline `state.byKey[key] ?? []` in Zustand selectors; a fresh `[]` each snapshot triggers React `useSyncExternalStore` infinite-loop (#185). `useComposerAttachmentList` is the canonical read hook for UI; `useComposerAttachments` reads its own `activeKey` with the same selector.
-- **`EmojiPanel` is host-agnostic.** The shared `chatroom/components/EmojiPanel/` accepts `{ variant: 'desktop' | 'mobile', onSelect: (native: string) => void }`. The old `usage` discriminator (`composer-inline | reaction | desktop`) and its central exhaustiveness `switch` are deleted; `Selector.tsx` reads only `{ variant, onSelect }` from `EmojiPanelContext` and never imports `useComposerEmojiPanelStore` or `emojiReaction`. Each call site owns its own dispatch. `DesktopLayout` is the desktop picker, two-mode `emojiPicker.eventType` reactToMessage vs caret insert, with click-time `getState()` for stable callback identity. `MessageReactionSheet` is the reaction overlay → `emojiReaction(selectedMessage, native)` when a message is selected, then `closeMessageReaction`. `ComposerEmojiPanel` is composer-inline → `editor.chain().insertContent(native).run()` + auto-collapse to peek. Adding a new emoji surface = a new `<EmojiPanel variant=… onSelect={…}>` mount; do not re-add a central usage discriminator. `Picker` selects only `emojiPicker.isOpen` and reads it in the render-time `onClickOutside`, which calls `closeMessageReaction`. Do not read `getState()` there at click time. emoji-mart applies new props on a 0 ms timer, so the opening click still runs the previous handler. A click-time read would see the picker open and close it on the same click. This is the opposite of the `DesktopLayout` `onSelect` pattern above.
-- **`ComposerEmojiPanel` is composer-owned, not a sheet.** Lives at `MessageComposer/components/ComposerEmojiPanel/`, driven by `composerEmojiPanelStore` (`MessageComposer/stores/composerEmojiPanelStore.ts`). The store holds `peek` ↔ `expanded` mode. Its idempotent `open()` snapshots `useStore.keyboardHeight` once into `peekHeightPx`, so the panel renders at the right height after `blur()` resets keyboard-height to 0. It also calls `history.pushState({ composerEmojiPanel: true })` for back-button dismiss. The resize handle answers Enter and Space through its own `onKeyDown`. Do not use motion tap props for it, because they answer Enter only. The store deliberately lives in the composer subtree, not in `EmojiPanel/` — moving it back re-couples the host-agnostic panel to composer dispatch.
+- **Anon Enter opens sign-in.** `useComposerSubmit` calls `openComposerSignIn(channelId)` when `!user` — same entry as `SignInToJoinChannel`; do not let Enter silently no-op for visitors.

 - **Animated panel + emoji-mart grid: animate outer height, fixed inner shell.** `ComposerEmojiPanel` animates `motion.div` `height: 0 → targetHeight` (`PANEL_TWEEN` from `@utils/motion`, 200ms ease-out), so the parent flex column absorbs the change cleanly via `flex-1` on the chatroom feed. The inner content is wrapped in a `style={{ height: expandedHeight }}` div, so emoji-mart's grid measures its container once and never reflows during the tween. Animating height directly on the picker subtree thrashes layout/paint on the emoji-mart grid every frame. Apply the same outer-tween + fixed-inner-shell pattern to any future animated surface that hosts a measurement-sensitive virtualized grid.
-- **Mobile formatting-toolbar taps.** The composer editor runs `shouldRerenderOnTransaction: false`. So the component that shows the format buttons owns the transaction subscription. `ComposerBar` mounts one of them: `FormattingToolbar` on desktop or `ComposerFormatPanel` on mobile. Each calls `useReRenderOnEditorTransaction(showFormattingToolbar ? editor : null)` before its early return, so it subscribes only while its UI is open. Without it, mark buttons (Bold / Code block / etc.) keep a stale `isActive` highlight after a toggle. Do not put selection state in the composer context. The composer toolbar `ui/Button` (`ToolbarButton`) takes a plain `isActive` and wires `onTouchEnd` (gated on `onPress`) alongside `onClick`. The reason is iOS: a tap on a toolbar button while the editor is focused often never fires the synthesized `click`. `handleClick` dedupes via `lastTouchRef` in the shared `hooks/useTouchPress.ts`, so touch + click never double-run. `ComposerPrimaryAction`'s send button (the `canSend` state) also passes `onPress` and gets the same touch handling — it does not skip the touch path. The format-bar toggle is now a plain row inside `ComposerInsertMenu` (`PopoverClose` + `onClick={toggleToolbar}`), not a `ToolbarButton` — it carries no `onTouchEnd`/`pointerdown` handling of its own.
-- **Composer accessible names.** Each format button passes its own `aria-label`, in the words of its tooltip. Each format toggle computes its active state once and passes it to `isActive` and `aria-pressed`. Hyperlink passes `isActive` only, because it opens a dialog. The editor name is `Write a message`, or `Add a comment` in comment mode. The host-attribute effect of `useComposerAttachmentLifecycle` sets it with `setAttribute` on `.ProseMirror`. Write every host attribute that way, never through `editorProps`: the editor is built once, and `setOptions` replaces Tiptap's attributes, dropping `role="textbox"`.
-- **Overlay contention (Escape and Enter).** Composer overlays are mutually exclusive — `dismissComposerOverlays.ts` (which includes `stopComposerVoiceRecording()`) closes the others when one opens. The exclusion works both ways. `startHold` in `useVoiceRecorder` calls `dismissComposerOverlaysBeforeVoice()`, which closes the emoji panel, the emoji picker, and the mention picker. It does not call `stopComposerVoiceRecording()`, because that stop would end the new recording. The link dialog is modal, so it is not in that list. Escape unwinds in order: link dialog → emoji → mention → reply/edit. After the link dialog and emoji steps, the media gallery owns Escape while it is open. The mention picker owns it while `isMentionSuggestionPopupVisible()` is true. The pad hyperlink popover, which `getDefaultController()` holds, owns an Escape pressed inside it. `useHandleEscKey` records whether another surface owns that Escape, in a window capture-phase listener. That listener runs before the picker, the gallery, or the popover can close itself. The bubble-phase handler then returns before it clears reply, edit, or comment. So the first Escape closes the picker and the second clears reply, edit, or comment. Do not read that state in the bubble phase. By then the picker and the popover have closed themselves. The gallery may have closed too, because the listener order on `window` is not fixed. Do not skip on `defaultPrevented`: ProseMirror prevents every Escape in the editor. `isMentionSuggestionPopupVisible()` also gates Enter-send blocking. Do NOT `stopPropagation` Enter in `useTiptapEditor` — Mention's own `onKeyDown` needs the key; only `preventDefault` the send while the popup is `isConnected` and visible. Mention active state comes from `getMentionPickerActive()` (Floating UI visibility) — `getMentionPickerActive()` and `isMentionSuggestionPopupVisible()` are distinct helpers; keep both.

 - **Indent lockstep.** Pad `TipTap.tsx` and the chat composer `useTiptapEditor` must stay on the same `Indent.configure({ indentChars: '\t' })` — widen both or neither.

 ### Chat Media Attachments
 
 - Slack/Discord/Telegram pattern — pre-upload to storage, path-only `medias jsonb` at INSERT (`messageMediasForInsert` in `messageMediaPaths.ts`). Signed URLs are resolved lazily in `chatMediaUrl.ts` via `useMediaSignedUrl` / `useFeedMediaDisplayUrl`. `uploadChatMedia.ts` stores path-only (no upload-time sign). Upload-then-send is load-bearing — gating and readiness probes are specified in §Optimistic Message Lifecycle.
-- Limits: 10 MB / 10 files / 3 concurrent uploads per list. MIME + extension allowlists stay in lockstep across `chatMediaMime.ts`, `12-buckets.sql`, and `validate_message_medias()` (no SVG). Bucket `allowed_mime_types` must be **NULL** for "allow all" — `{*/*}` only matches the literal type and rejects real uploads.

Bucket `allowed_mime_types` must be **NULL** for "allow all" — `{*/*}` only matches the literal type and rejects real uploads.
 - The hocuspocus doc-media endpoint (`apps/hocuspocus.server/src/schemas/hypermultimedia.schema.ts` `ALLOWED_MIME_TYPES`) must stay a **superset** of the chat allowlist. Otherwise **copy-to-doc** re-host (`copyChatMediaToDocument.ts` → `POST /plugins/hypermultimedia/:documentId`) 415s for any chat type the doc rejects. This is what broke voice-note / non-PDF copy-to-doc — the doc list was images+video+audio+PDF only.
 - **Copy-to-doc node building has two further traps.** First, build the doc media node from the chat media's authoritative `media.type` (`copyChatMediaToDocument.ts`). Never re-detect from the re-hosted blob's content-type. A `.webm` voice note re-classifies as `video` (the `webm` extension maps to `video/webm`), producing a `video` doc node and a wrong comment-anchor `node_type`. Second, only append the message-body text node to the copy-to-doc paragraph when it is non-empty (`useCopyMessageToDocHandler`). ProseMirror's `schema.text('')` throws `Invalid JSON content` for media-only messages (voice/image/file with no caption). Also send the storage upload's content-type as the bare MIME (`resolveChatMediaMime` strips `;codecs=…`). `MediaRecorder` voice notes are `audio/webm;codecs=opus`, and the bucket matches the bare type only.

-- The Attach file row in `ComposerInsertMenu` disables at the 10-file cap (`useComposerAttachInput`'s `atLimit`). `addFiles` creates each row before its upload starts, so a file queued behind others shows in the strip and counts toward the cap. Uploads run via `useComposerAttachments` + `chatMediaUploadRunner.ts` with client downscale (inline in `chatMediaUploadRunner.ts`, max 2048px, skip gif/heic, 512KB threshold). `addFiles` refuses a file over 10 MB with a toast unless `isDownscalableChatImage` passes. That predicate is also the downscale gate, so the two cannot drift. An image that is still over 10 MB after downscale throws `CHAT_MEDIA_TOO_LARGE_ERROR`, which sets `tooLarge`. That row has no Retry, because a retry cannot make it fit. Drafts live in IndexedDB. Runtime state lives in `composerAttachmentsStore`. `AttachmentStrip` and `useComposerAttachInput` subscribe via `useComposerAttachmentList` / the store — never via `MessageComposerContext`; attachment **actions** go through `ComposerAttachmentActionsContext` / `useComposerAttachmentActions()`. Per-key store isolation on channel switch — do not blanket-clear attachments. A channel switch drops the other lists from the store and deletes no upload. The daily orphan cleanup deletes every upload that no message lists after 24 hours, draft uploads included. A restored row whose upload is gone shows as expired and never blocks Send. Ending a reply or comment without a send deletes only the uploads of files added during that mode.

 - **Feed visual layout (Telegram album).** Image+video share one `MessageMediaVisualBlock` sized from intrinsic dims into max width×height (`computeVisualMediaLayout` in `chatMediaVisualLayout.ts`). One visual uses the `single` clamp. `mosaic` absolute rects cover 2–10 (Telegram Layouter 2–4 + ComplexLayouter for n≥5 / any ratio > 2), and show all up to `CHAT_MEDIA_MAX_ATTACHMENTS`, no feed `+N`. Height over cap → **uniform scale** of the rect set. Layout `maxWidth` is an **explicit px** from the `.chat-bubble` (fallback `.message-feed`), never `width:100%` under daisyUI `fit-content` (postage-stamps absolute cover tiles). Mobile media-only cards use `max-w-[92%]` with width cap `CHAT_MEDIA_FEED_MAX_WIDTH_MOBILE_PX` (560); desktop stays `CHAT_MEDIA_FEED_MAX_WIDTH_PX` (400). Mobile height is taller for singles (`CHAT_MEDIA_FEED_MAX_HEIGHT_MOBILE_SINGLE_PX` 360) than mosaics (280). Unknown dims use 16:9 placeholders. Audio/file stay as cards below. Mosaic video is `MessageMediaVideoPoster` → lightbox; lone video is inline `MessageMediaVideo` + Expand. Lightbox playlist stays `[...images, ...videos, ...audio]` via one `partitionMessageMedias` + `openGallery(medias, at?)` — open by media object, never feed cell index. Signed-URL failures surface `MediaUnavailable` + retry. Reply/edit bars use `ContextBarMediaThumb`. Geometry + FeedColumnWidth contract live in `feedAlbumLayout.ts` (`resolveFeedLayoutOptions`, card/bubble class tokens, measure adapters); path/MIME/insert stay in `messageMediaPaths.ts`. Glossary: `CONTEXT.md` §Chat feed album.
 - **ChatMediaGallery UX (Discord parity).** Full-bleed lightbox (`modalBackdropHeavyClassName`, `z-[100]`, `h-[100dvh]`, `overscroll-none`): top-left author block (name line 1, sent-at line 2); top-right grouped action pill plus separate close; `n / total` counter via `--gallery-counter-top`. Toolbar actions are one list in `galleryToolbarModel.ts` (`pill` / `overflowPrefix` / `overflow` surfaces). Desktop puts zoom/reply/download/open on the pill. Mobile is overflow-first: it keeps download on the pill and moves zoom/reply/open to `overflowPrefix` under ⋯. Copy/details stay `overflow`. Author `flex-1 min-w-0` truncate on mobile. Tap letterbox/stage (not controls) toggles the overlay controls when not zoomed (`controlsVisible`, `MOTION_PANEL_MS` fade). Spoiler feed tiles (image, video poster/lone video, audio) stay **two-tap reveal** before `openGallery` — carousel must not bypass feed spoiler state. **Deep modules:** pure session snapshots live in `gallerySession.ts` (`begin`/`step` + `GALLERY_SESSION_CLOSED`). The keyed zoom/media registry + sync action URL (`publishGalleryActiveMediaUrl` / `readGalleryActiveMediaUrl`) are colocated in `chatMediaGalleryStore.ts` (HMR-safe — do not split to a utils file). Overflow UI is in `GalleryOverflowMenu.tsx` (mobile sheet portaled to `document.body`). The gallery spoiler control is `GallerySpoilerRevealControl` (feed keeps `useSpoilerGatedActivate`).

 ### Mention Picker
 
-- **4-layer split (mirror hyperlink, do not import across features).** `MessageComposer/helpers/suggestion.ts` owns the popup host + `autoUpdate` + `ReactRenderer` create/destroy + TipTap key routing. `MentionList.tsx` owns debounced RPC + selection + keyboard API. `MentionSuggestions.tsx` + `MentionSuggestionRow.tsx` own the Discord-style listbox + a11y. `mentionTypes.ts` owns shared types, `EVERYONE_ENTRY` (`id: 'everyone'`), and helpers `showEveryoneForQuery` / `isMentionSuggestionPopupVisible` / `mentionOptionId` / `MENTION_LISTBOX_ID`. Do not add a Zustand store, SQL function, or shared suggestion package for it. Focus stays in the editor element, so the ARIA link lives there. `suggestion.ts` sets `aria-controls=MENTION_LISTBOX_ID` on `editor.view.dom` in `onStart`, after the surface check passes. `destroyPopup()` removes `aria-controls` and `aria-activedescendant`. `MentionList` writes `aria-activedescendant` on `editor.view.dom` from `selectedIndex`, and removes it when the list has no rows. That effect has no cleanup, so a late unmount cannot strip the next picker's value. The listbox holds no `aria-activedescendant`.
-- **Popup anchors to `[data-chat-composer-surface]`** (set on the desktop inner composer card and mobile composer wrapper), `placement: 'top-start'`. Its width is 99% of the surface, with a 0.5% inset on each side. `autoUpdate` tracks the surface, NOT the `@` caret. Discord/Telegram-style wide picker above the editor. When the surface marker is missing, log a warning so `@` doesn't fail silently. Do not bring back caret-following `bottom-start` / `shift` or `min-w-[280px]`.
-- **`@tiptap/suggestion` Escape contract.** In 3.31.3 the plugin handles Escape itself. It calls the renderer's `onKeyDown`, then `dispatchExit`, and returns `true`, whatever `onKeyDown` returns. `dispatchExit` runs `onExit` in the same call stack, so the picker is gone before any window bubble-phase listener runs (§MessageComposer overlay contention). Keep `return false` for Escape, because `false` means the renderer did not handle the key. Route ALL teardown through `onExit` → single `destroyPopup()` path; never manually remove the DOM on Escape.

Do not bring back caret-following `bottom-start` / `shift` or `min-w-[280px]`.
+- **`@tiptap/suggestion` Escape contract.** The plugin runs `onExit` / `dispatchExit` ONLY when `onKeyDown` returns `false`. Returning `true` for Escape leaves the plugin alive (`state.active === true`) even after manual DOM removal — the picker silently won't reopen. Always return `false` for Escape and route ALL teardown through `onExit` → single `destroyPopup()` path; never manually remove the DOM on Escape.
 - **RPC contract.** Direct `searchWorkspaceUsers({ workspaceId, username: query })` with 150ms debounce + a `cancelled` flag for stale-response guard — NOT `useApi`. Anon / non-member visitors skip the RPC entirely (Notify-only row when query matches `everyone`). Members list filters `u.id !== currentUserId` so the user never sees themselves; `@everyone` Notify is unaffected. Type the response as `PostgrestResponse<FetchMentionedUsersRow>` from the generated `Database` types — NOT the `[][]` generic (Supabase RPC typing pitfall). On RPC error, set `fetchError` and surface "Couldn't load members" in the Members section instead of empty list. Insert payload stays `command({ id, label: item.username })` — `label` MUST be username (or `'everyone'`), never display name; notification SQL matches plain text.
 - Window-level Escape/Enter contention with reply/edit and send is owned by the merged overlay-contention rule in §MessageComposer. Mention's `onKeyDown` behavior above is one half of that contract.
-- **Mention notifications (SQL).** Chat mention and `@everyone` notifications read the plain text in `messages.content` (composer `getText()` or sanitized text), not TipTap mention HTML attributes. The three insert fan-outs in `10-func-notifications.sql` share one token rule. A token is `@` and then the longest run of `[A-Za-z0-9_-]`. The `@` is at the start or after a character outside that set. A token names a user only when it equals the username exactly, case included. So `@harvey` does not match `harvey_marzban`, `@bobSmith` does not match `bob`, and `bob@example.com` mentions nobody. The mention fan-out looks tokens up by username among channel members who have not muted the channel. It skips the sender and never resolves `everyone` to a user. `@everyone` fires only for the exact token. The regular-message fan-out skips a message only when it holds `@everyone` or a token that names a channel member other than the sender. A trigger `WHEN` clause cannot hold a subquery, so that member check runs in the function body. Membership alone decides it, so a mention of a muted member still gives other members no `message` row.
-- `sanitizeMessageContent` / `sanitizeChunk` set only `ALLOWED_ATTR` (`href`, `target`, `rel`) and no `ALLOW_DATA_ATTR`. DOMPurify keeps `data-*` attributes by default, so mention spans keep `data-id` and `data-type`, and feed tap-to-profile via `useMentionClick` reads them. Only `class` is removed.
+- **Mention notifications (SQL).** Chat mention and `@everyone` notifications are driven by plain-text `messages.content` (composer `getText()` / sanitized text), not TipTap mention HTML attrs. SQL in `10-func-notifications.sql` regex-matches **full** `@username` tokens with word boundaries, and `@everyone` there. `@harvey` does not match `harvey_marzban`.
+- `sanitizeMessageContent` / `sanitizeChunk` allow only `href`, `target`, and `rel` on spans — not `data-id`, `data-type`, or `class`. Stored message HTML may therefore not retain mention attrs. Feed tap-to-profile via `useMentionClick` needs an explicit DOMPurify allowlist extension, not picker UI alone.

 ### Anonymous Chat Read Path

 - **Media tiles need storage SELECT, not just message RPCs.** Anon lurkers and non-member authed viewers on PUBLIC channels resolve `createSignedUrl` against `storage.objects`. The `"Anon can read public channel chat media"` / authed lurker twin policies in `12-buckets.sql` must qualify `objects.name` (see §Supabase → **`storage.objects` EXISTS subqueries**). Message hydration succeeding while thumbnails show `MediaUnavailable` usually means storage RLS denied the sign, not a webapp gate.
 - **Writes must gate on `auth.uid()` at the entry point.** `useChannelMetadata` skips `upsertChannel` + `joinChannel`, `useSendMessage` short-circuits via `onAuthRequired`, and `useReadCursor.advance` no-ops when uid is null. Do not gate inside the RPC bodies; do not let RLS 403s reach the FE as toasts. Authenticated writes assume the channel/member rows exist.
 - **Anon-only UI is hidden, not disabled.** The Bookmarks popover in `EditorToolbar.tsx` is gated `{user && <Popover>…</Popover>}`; `ChatroomToolbar/components/NotificationToggle.tsx` early-returns `null` when `useAuthStore.profile?.id` is falsy. Hide at the component (or wrapping popover) so the trigger never invokes an RPC that would 401 — don't render a disabled button that toasts on click.
-- **Async-handshake success paths resolve their own state at the call site.** The `onAuthStateChange` handler intentionally omits `SIGNED_IN` from its store-writing branch. So a sign-in call that returns session data must finish the job itself: `GoogleOneTapAuth` writes `setSession`, toasts, fetches the profile, and applies the missing-row sign-out rule. **Centralising this on a guarded `SIGNED_IN` arm was evaluated on 2026-08-21 and rejected — do not re-propose it without new evidence.** Measured against `@supabase/auth-js` 2.112.3: `SIGNED_IN` re-fires from `_recoverAndRefresh` on every `visibilitychange` and again across tabs through BroadcastChannel, and on a PKCE return (Google redirect, magic link) `_initialize` schedules `SIGNED_IN` in a `setTimeout(…, 0)` while `_emitInitialSession` delivers `INITIAL_SESSION` for the same session. An identity guard cannot separate that pair — `useApi.request` has no in-flight dedupe, so the second event still sees a null profile and fires a **second** `getUserById`. One correction to the old wording: there is exactly one `TOKEN_REFRESHED` emit site and the refresh path emits no `SIGNED_IN`, so token refresh was never part of the thrash. **`router.reload()` is no longer the escape hatch** — call sites write the store directly. **`SignInForm` has no passkey path.** Passkeys are off (root `CLAUDE.md` §Settled). The email field sets `autoComplete="username"` with no `webauthn` token. **The webapp no longer signs visitors in anonymously** — production Auth forbids it, so a signed-out visitor reads through the `anon` role and its `*_public_anon_select` policies.

 - **Anon viewers subscribe to the same `workspace:${workspaceId}` realtime channel** as authenticated users (handled in `useCatchUserPresences.ts`). Presence join/leave + broadcast events therefore flow into `useStore.usersPresence` and every `AvatarStack` surface: TOC header, TOC items, pad header `PresentUsers`, chatroom `ParticipantsList`, and message `UserReadStatus`. Each renders the same set of online users an authed viewer would see. Anon must NOT call `track()`: they observe only, never broadcast themselves into presence state. Do not split anon onto a separate `anonymous:*` channel — presence is per-channel-name and a parallel channel would silently miss every broadcast. **TOC heading avatars key on broadcast `channelId`, not native presence track.** Cold-open tabs (anon or authed) must handle `presence` `sync`. On subscribe / `requestPresenceSync` / peer `join`, existing viewers re-broadcast open chat via `shareHeadingPresenceWithRoom` in `services/workspacePresenceSync.ts`. That call carries a 600ms debounce per channel topic. Do not remove it, or late joiners miss heading stacks until someone switches chat. `buildPresenceSyncPayload` must seed the responder's open `headingId` into the sync payload when their row is missing from `usersPresence` (native Supabase presence track carries no `channelId`). **`settings.broadcaster`** is set only after a guarded authed `track()` in `useCatchUserPresences`, and cleared on effect teardown/offline. Chat open/switch uses `sendPresenceBroadcast` in `workspacePresenceSync.ts` (not a duplicate store helper).
 - **`AvatarStack` consumers filter the current user out, never gate on `usersPresence.size`.** Authed `track(profile)` puts self in the map; anon never tracks so the map is already just other viewers. Size-based guards (`size <= 1`) hide the stack from anon when one auth peer is present. The right shape is `Array.from(usersPresence.values()).filter(u => u.id !== profile?.id)` then render when the remainder is non-empty — works for both auth (drops self) and anon (no-op). Stack cutout width is forced in `_daisyui.scss` (2px via `--avatar-stack-edge` from `avatarStackGeometry`). The reason is daisyUI `.avatar-group .avatar`, which ships `border: 4px` and beats Tailwind ring/border utilities. Use a cutout border, not a drop-shadow.
 - **Clear `usersPresence` on every (re)subscribe.** `useCatchUserPresences` calls `clearUsersPresence()` at the top of its subscribe effect before opening either the anon or authed channel. This drops stale `ONLINE` entries from the previous channel (anon→authed sign-in, workspace switch, `online`-event reconnect). The next subscription's `presence` `sync` snapshot is then the authoritative state.

 - **Surface routing.** Pad desktop → `createHyperlinkDesktop` + the page-level `HyperlinkPopoverPortal` above; pad mobile → `createHyperlinkMobile` → `linkEditor` / `linkPreview` sheets via `useSheetStore` (see §Mobile Bottom Sheets And Overlays). The mobile **chat composer** is a separate surface. `getHyperlinkPopoverConfig(isMobile, surface)` with `HyperlinkSurface = 'pad' | 'composer'` routes `composerMobilePopoverEntries` (return `null`, open `composerLinkDialogStore`) and a portaled `ComposerLinkDialog` in `MobileLayout` — not the pad `linkEditor`.
 - Composer `useTiptapEditor` uses `getHyperlinkPopoverConfigAtInvoke(() => isComposerMobileRef.current, () => 'composer')` so the frozen `useEditor([], …)` reads layout at invoke time (`variant === 'mobile'` via ref, not `settings.editor.isMobile`).
 - Snapshot selection in `composerLinkSelectionRef` before modal focus steal (toolbar create + iOS save).
-- Composer link dialog paths keep the soft-keyboard state. Snapshot `keyboardWasOpenAtOpen` at open. Preview tap, Save, Remove, Cancel, dismiss, and Back keep that state: open stays open, closed stays closed. They move focus back to the composer only when the keyboard was open. Add and edit open are the exception: they always focus the URL field synchronously in the opening tap, so a closed keyboard opens. Cancel or Back from an edit that came from a preview moves focus to the composer in the same tap when the keyboard was open. Never call the pad's `previewHyperlink.dismissSoftKeyboard`.
-- The `ComposerLinkModalShell` focusin trap ignores focus on the composer editor (`[data-chat-composer-surface] .ProseMirror`), and it turns off while the shell exits (`useIsPresent`). AnimatePresence keeps two shells mounted during the exit tween, and both refocus paths (close and return to preview) must reach the composer. Without this, a trap pulls focus to a card button. On edit from a preview, the exiting preview trap would also take focus from the URL field.
+- All composer link dialog paths (preview tap on `<a>`, edit/add open, Cancel, dismiss) must preserve keyboard state — open stays open, closed stays closed. Never call the pad's `previewHyperlink.dismissSoftKeyboard`. Snapshot `keyboardWasOpenAtOpen` at open, and refocus on close only when the keyboard was open. Cancel must not collapse an open keyboard.
 - `ComposerLinkModalShell` centers in the visual viewport on iOS and Android via `--visual-viewport-height` / `--visual-viewport-offset-top`, not `fixed inset-0` or top-clamped placement.

Pad `HyperlinkEditor` and composer `ComposerLinkEditorDialog` share the shape through `HyperlinkUrlTextarea`. Only the pad wraps the textarea in a daisyUI `.input` label, which owns the border and focus ring. The composer puts `textarea textarea-primary` classes on the field itself. The popover shell is responsive (`min-w-[26rem]` floor, `max-w-[min(34rem,calc(100vw-2rem))]`), not a fixed `w-[24rem]`.

The side-effecting `runInternalDocumentLink` lives in sibling `internalDocumentLinkActions.ts` (PubSub/scroll/history), split from the resolver. `classify` then unit-tests (`internalDocumentLink.test.ts`) without dragging the `@utils/index` barrel → supabase graph, which throws in Jest without env. `navigateHref` (`hrefEventHandler.ts`) = classify → if internal `run()` (closes the popover uniformly first) → else `window.open`; the old inline per-dialect `if` ladder is deleted.

 - Bookmark/notification links need no special kind. They already build canonical `?chatroom=&msg_id=`, so they resolve to `kind: 'chat'`. Cross-document docs.plus links stay external (exact doc-slug match, not `startsWith`). Internal links skip the metadata fetch/favicon entirely. The heading kind keys on `?id=` (the `?h=` breadcrumb is written/shared but never read for navigation).

-### Visible action labels
-
-The prebuilt preview makes no metadata request and needs no `/api/metadata` endpoint.
-Its buttons use icons, accessible names, and hover/focus tooltips.
-To show text beside every icon, wrap the existing factory:
-
-```ts
-Hyperlink.configure({
-  popovers: {
-    previewHyperlink: (options) => {
-      const root = previewHyperlinkPopover(options)
-      root.style.flexWrap = 'wrap'
-      root.style.maxWidth = 'calc(100vw - 32px)'
-      for (const button of root.querySelectorAll('button')) {
-        const label = document.createElement('span')
-        label.textContent = button.getAttribute('aria-label')
-        button.append(label)
-        button.style.width = 'auto'
-        button.style.padding = '0 10px'
-      }
-      return root
-    }
-  }
-})
-```
-
-This keeps the built-in actions and gives touch users visible labels without waiting for a tooltip.
-For metadata cards, supply a custom preview factory and fetch metadata through your own service.

 ### Popover-factory option shapes
 
 Every factory takes one `options` argument. The shape depends on the slot.

-## [2.1.0] — 2026-09-17
-
-### Highlights
-
-- Unlisted Vimeo links keep their access hashes through insertion and HTML round-trips.
-- Hosts can import `isSafeMediaSrc` to validate media URLs before insertion.
-- X fallback markup keeps the configured post options when oEmbed fails.
+## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
 
 - Export `isSafeMediaSrc` from the package entry. Markdown import uses it to
   refuse an unsafe URL before it mints a media node.
 
-### Changed
-
-- Require `@tiptap/core` and `@tiptap/pm` `^3.31.3`, and update the `@floating-ui/dom` runtime dependency to `^1.8.0`.
-
 ### Fixed
 
-- Keep X theme, width, language, privacy, alignment, and hidden-content options in fallback markup after an oEmbed failure.
-
-- Preserve the path hash in unlisted Vimeo URLs through insertion and HTML round-trips.
-  Query-string hashes keep precedence. Addresses [the standalone contribution](https://github.com/HMarzban/extension-hypermultimedia/pull/4).

 `updateImageDimensions` edits an image that already sits in the document. It finds the node by its `keyId` attribute and writes `width` and `height`. It returns `false` when no image carries that `keyId`, so `editor.can()` reports a miss. `setImage` writes a fresh `keyId` on every insert, and a host reads it back with `node.attrs.keyId`.

-### React Native and WebView hosts
-
-The package runs inside a browser document. It does not provide a React Native bridge.
-Browser touch tests do not establish compatibility with TenTap or a specific Android or iOS WebView.
-
-Use the current node names and commands from [Migrating from 1.x](#migrating-from-1x).
-Load `styles.css` inside the WebView document.
-For X, configure `X`, call `setX`, and size posts with `maxwidth`; X has no resize gripper.
-Provider and video taps keep their player controls, so expose a host action to open editing controls on touch devices.
-
-When reporting a bridge problem, include the TenTap, WebView, Tiptap, and extension versions, device OS, editor HTML, bridge setup, and failing action.
-Use a minimal runnable app. A viewport resize or browser touch simulation cannot replace a device reproduction.

The toolbar Post options menu switches both `maxwidth` and `theme`. `maxwidth` defaults to `400`. `theme` defaults to `'light'`, `lang` to `'en'`, `hide_media` and `hide_thread` to `false`. An X post reads its own `theme` attribute, not the page `color-scheme` — see [Theming](#theming). `dnt` defaults to `true` and is a kit option only, because `AddXOptions` omits it. The `align` attribute is a schema attribute passed straight to oEmbed, with no kit option and no `setX` field. The `x` node has no drag-resize.

 ## Media toolbar
 
 Hovering a media node on a fine-pointer device opens the media toolbar at the node's top-right corner. Common actions sit inline, and the rest live behind a `…` overflow menu. Icon-only buttons show a floating tooltip on hover or focus.

-That fallback keeps the theme, width, language, privacy, alignment, and hidden-content options.
-If the script also fails, the post link stays visible.

-Keep browser CORS protection enabled. The fallback needs no browser extension or unrestricted proxy.
-Your host controls CSP and WebView navigation permissions.
-A visible fallback link does not prove that X permits the full widget in that environment.

 ## Sizing
 
 X embeds size through the oEmbed `maxwidth` attribute, not the resize gripper. The media toolbar exposes three presets — Compact (280), Standard (400, default), Wide (550) — and `setX({ maxwidth })` accepts any of those values per insert.
