New primitive: `VisibilityIntent::Announcement`, a public post whose
author MUST be the hardcoded bootstrap anchor posting identity
(`DEFAULT_ANCHOR_POSTING_ID`) and whose content carries an ed25519
signature by that key. Forged announcements (any other author, or
bad signature) are rejected by `control::receive_post` before storage
— they never enter the DB and never propagate via neighbor-manifest
diffs. Only the real anchor can publish announcements, and it does so
sparingly as part of the release deploy flow.
Uses release announcements to drive an in-app upgrade banner:
- Anchor publishes a signed `{category:release, version, channel,
download_url, ...}` post during every deploy.
- Clients receive it via the normal CDN; `apply_announcement_if_applicable`
stores the latest-per-category/channel in the settings kv, keyed
e.g. `announcement:release:stable`.
- Welcome screen checks storage on startup; if the stored release
version > CARGO_PKG_VERSION on the user's selected channel, a banner
appears with a Download button that opens the system browser.
- Settings gets "Updates" section with Stable / Beta radio + Check-now
button + current status line.
Core:
- `DEFAULT_ANCHOR_POSTING_ID: NodeId` constant (32 bytes, the anchor's
current posting id — `17af141956ae...`).
- New `VisibilityIntent::Announcement` variant; feed filters in all 6
`get_feed*` / `list_posts*` query sites updated to also exclude the
new intent AND the pre-existing `GroupKeyDistribute` intent.
- `types::AnnouncementContent` + `ReleaseAnnouncement` structs.
- `crypto::{sign,verify}_announcement` — length-prefixed field digest
with a "has release" 1-byte flag.
- New `announcement` module with `verify_announcement_post`,
`apply_announcement_if_applicable`, `latest_release`,
`build_announcement_post`, and a `StoredAnnouncement` envelope saved
to settings so the UI can render without a full post scan.
- `Node::publish_announcement` refuses to run unless the default posting
id equals the anchor constant — accidental use on client installs
fails loud.
Wire / receive:
- `control::receive_post` verifies announcement signatures upfront
alongside Control and Profile. Same pattern; same guarantees.
CLI one-shots (no daemon):
- `itsgoin <data_dir> --print-identity` — prints network_id +
default_posting_id, exits.
- `itsgoin <data_dir> --announce --ann-category release
--ann-channel stable --ann-version X --ann-title ... --ann-body ...
--ann-url https://itsgoin.com/download.html` — builds + stores +
propagates the signed post, exits.
deploy.sh:
- Now runs the announce one-shot inside the anchor-restart window
(after binary swap, before start). The DB is free during that gap,
so the one-shot can write without conflicting with the running
daemon. The restarted daemon loads all storage on boot and serves
the new announcement to pulling peers.
Tauri IPC:
- `check_release_announcement(channel)` → Option<ReleaseAnnouncementDto>
— returns None when up-to-date.
- `get_update_channel` / `set_update_channel(channel)` — persists in
settings kv key `ui_update_channel`; defaults to stable.
- `open_url_external(url)` — desktop-only (xdg-open / open / cmd start);
refuses non-http(s) URLs. Android needs the opener plugin — TODO.
Frontend:
- Upgrade banner on the welcome screen, populated by
`loadUpgradeBanner()`. Hidden when no newer release is known.
- Settings → Updates section with Stable/Beta radio + Check-now button
+ current status line.
Tests: announcement signature roundtrip; non-anchor author rejection;
non-announcement intent is a no-op. 124 / 124 core tests pass.
v0.6.2 wire fork: every persona-identifying direct push is gone. Public posts
propagate only through the CDN (pull + header-diff neighbor propagation).
Encrypted posts propagate only through pull with merged author-or-recipient
match. There is no remaining sender→recipient traffic correlation signal on
the wire for content.
Protocol (network-breaking):
- Retire MessageType 0x42 (PostNotification), 0x43 (PostPush),
0x44 (AudienceRequest), 0x45 (AudienceResponse). Their payload structs are
deleted along with the handlers and senders.
- SocialDisconnectNotice (0x71) / SocialAddressUpdate (0x70) sender
functions targeting audience are deleted; the existing handlers stay
(both already dead code on the send side).
Core removals:
- `push_to_audience`, `notify_post`, `push_delete`,
`push_disconnect_to_audience`, `push_address_update_to_audience`,
`send_audience_request`, `send_audience_response`, `send_to_audience` —
all gone from network.rs.
- `handle_post_notification` removed from connection.rs.
- `request_audience`, `approve_audience`, `deny_audience`,
`remove_audience`, `list_audience_members`, `list_audience` removed from
Node.
- `audience_pushed` step removed from post creation.
- `AudienceDirection`, `AudienceStatus`, `AudienceRecord`,
`AudienceApprovalMode` removed from types.
- Storage: `store_audience`, `list_audience`, `list_audience_members`,
`remove_audience`, `row_to_audience_record`, `audience_crud` test, the
`audience` CREATE TABLE, and the audience-dependent social route rebuild
branch all removed. Upgraded DBs retain the orphan `audience` table;
nothing touches it.
Follow-on cleanups:
- `SocialRelation::Audience` + `::Mutual` collapsed into just `Follow`.
The Display/FromStr impl accepts legacy "audience"/"mutual" strings from
pre-v0.6.2 DBs and maps them to Follow.
- Blob-eviction priority function drops the audience factor; relationship
is now own-author vs followed vs other. Tests updated accordingly.
- `CommentPermission::AudienceOnly` → `FollowersOnly`. Check uses the
author's public follows (`list_public_follows`) rather than a separate
audience table. `ModerationMode::AudienceOnly` similarly renamed.
- Follow/unfollow routines simplified: no audience downgrade logic;
unfollow removes the social route entirely.
UI:
- CLI: `audience*` commands removed.
- Tauri: `AudienceDto`, `list_audience`, `list_audience_outbound`,
`request_audience`, `approve_audience`, `remove_audience` commands
removed from invoke_handler. Frontend: audience panel and audience/mutual
badges removed; compose permission dropdown shows "Followers" instead of
"Audience"; `loadAudience` is a no-op stub that hides any leftover DOM.
Tests: 111 / 111 core tests pass.
Breaking change: v0.6.2 nodes won't interoperate with v0.6.1 for delete
propagation, visibility updates, direct post push, post notifications, or
audience requests. Upgrade both ends.
Reset All Data:
- Sentinel now written at the app-level data_dir instead of the
active identity's subdir. On Android the subdir path was never
checked at startup, so reset silently did nothing.
- On detection, wipe EVERYTHING under the app data_dir: identity.key,
itsgoin.db + WAL + SHM, blobs, all identity subdirs. Next launch
is truly fresh — new network key, new posting key, no prior data.
First-run name:
- Display name is optional. Blank submits as anonymous.
- First-run modal + profile overlay placeholder updated to say
"Display name (optional)".
Android file picker:
- pick_file on Android now uses tauri-plugin-android-fs'
show_open_file_dialog (Storage Access Framework OPEN_DOCUMENT).
Read the picked URI's bytes, stage them in the app's private cache
as a timestamped file, return the staged path so existing
import_* code can read it as a regular filesystem path.
- Zip filter passes application/zip + application/octet-stream (some
file providers report the latter for .zip).
Android auto-backup off:
- AndroidManifest: allowBackup="false", fullBackupContent="false",
dataExtractionRules pointing at new data_extraction_rules.xml
- New data_extraction_rules.xml excludes all domains from both
cloud-backup and device-transfer. Prior default (allowBackup=true)
silently replicated identity.key to Google Drive for any user with
cloud backup on — which effectively published the root secret to
a third party without asking. Users who want off-device backup use
Settings -> Export (explicit zip they control).
Import as personas:
- New import_as_personas function in core/import.rs + new
import_as_personas_cmd Tauri IPC.
- Reads identity.key from the bundle and adds it to posting_identities
as a persona. Also reads posting_identities.json (v0.6+ bundles)
and adds each entry. Dedupes by node_id.
- Posts stay AS-AUTHORED — original post_id, original author,
original signatures, original wrapped_key recipients. No
re-encryption. Content encrypted to any of the imported keys
becomes decryptable because we now hold the secrets.
- Blobs, follows, profiles copied across.
- If current device has <=1 posting identity (the fresh-install one)
and the bundle brings more, auto-switch the default to the first
imported persona. Covers first-run-then-import flow cleanly.
Import wizard UI:
- New default option: "Restore as personas" — posts keep original
authors; source's keys become personas you can post as.
- Old "Merge with decryption key" retained as "Consolidate under
current default persona (requires source key)" for the case where
a user intentionally abandons a persona.
- "Public posts only" and "Add as separate identity" retained.
deploy.sh made executable (chmod +x tracked).

Settings > Personas:
- List all held posting identities with display_name + truncated nodeId
- Default badge; Set-default / Delete buttons per non-default persona
- "New Persona" modal prompts for a display name and creates via IPC
Compose box:
- A #persona-select dropdown appears when 2+ personas exist
- doPost attaches postingIdHex to create_post / create_post_with_files
when a non-default persona is selected
Tauri:
- create_post and create_post_with_files take an optional
posting_id_hex; when present they route through create_post_as,
otherwise through the default create_post_with_visibility
- PostDto gains asPersona: name of the authoring posting identity if
the author matches any of our held personas
- is_me now recognises ALL our posting identities, not just the
network key (both post_to_dto and post_to_dto_batch)
Feed:
- Per-post "(you) as <PersonaName>" label on own posts authored by a
non-default persona
- Persona filter pill row above the feed (hidden for single-persona
users); pills toggle between All and each persona; matches when
post.author or post.recipients contains the selected posting id
- Applied after loadFeed initial render and after appendFeedPage so
filter survives infinite-scroll
App.js:
- personasCache + loadPersonas() loaded on startup so compose picker
is populated before the Feed tab mounts
- loadPersonas() also called when Settings tab opens
Backend was unchanged; only the UI and IPC surface expanded.

Progress bar animates during backend readiness check. Once local feed is
loaded from SQLite, button enables with teal highlight. Click switches to
feed tab with cached content — no network wait needed for returning users.

New Tauri commands: list_identities, create_identity, switch_identity,
delete_identity, import_identity_key, get_active_identity.
Settings UI: Identities section with list (active indicator, switch/delete
buttons), Create New Identity lightbox, Import Identity Key lightbox.
Export/Import buttons as placeholders for Phase 2/3.
Identity switch does hot-swap: tears down old Node, starts new one with
all background tasks, swaps AppNode RwLock. Frontend reloads after switch.

Sticky header with tabs as one block on desktop. Fixed header + bottom nav on
mobile. Full-width dark header (#0a0a1a) edge-to-edge with 15px fade gradient.
Tab icons on desktop (inline) and mobile (stacked). Safe area inset support for
phone notches. Lightboxes close on tab switch.
Profiles lightbox (name, bio, visibility, circle profiles) and redundancy
lightbox moved from settings to My Posts. Sync All and Stored Anchors moved
into Network Diagnostics popover. Network indicator click opens diagnostics.
Settings streamlined — removed profile editor, diagnostics button, sync,
redundancy, anchor management.
Keepalive fix: tokio::time::sleep in select! never fired; switched to interval.
Auto-reconnect on unexpected disconnect with 3s delay. notify_growth on
disconnect. Tab badge fix preserving icon spans. Feed re-render skip during
media playback.

Eliminate all conn_mgr lock holds during network I/O across 14 actor commands
and bi-stream handlers. PostFetch, TcpPunch, PullFromPeer, FetchEngagement,
ResolveAddress, AnchorProbe use brief locks for data gathering only. WormLookup,
ContentSearch, WormQuery use connection snapshots for lock-free cascade fan-out.
RelayIntroduce extracts forwarding data under brief lock, does I/O outside.
BlobRequest, PostFetchRequest, ManifestRefresh use Arc clones instead of conn_mgr
lock. ConnectionActor hoists shared Arcs (storage, blob_store, endpoint) for
lock-free access. ResolveAddress adds 5s per-query timeout (was unbounded).
Initial exchange failure now aborts mesh upgrade (was silently continuing with
broken connection). connect_to_peer/connect_to_anchor use consistent 15s timeout.
Rebalance connects outside the lock via pending_connects pattern.
StoragePool: 8 concurrent SQLite connections in WAL mode replace single
Mutex<Storage>. Reads run fully parallel; writes serialize at SQLite level only.
PRAGMA busy_timeout=5000 for graceful write contention.
Mobile bottom nav bar (<=768px) with icon tabs. Text sizes: XS/S/M/L/XL
(75%/100%/125%/150%/200%), default M. localStorage persistence for instant
restore. Toast repositioned above mobile nav.

Welcome screen with staggered counters while backend bootstraps. Header status
ticker for new posts/messages/reactions/comments/connection changes. Notification
fallback chain (Tauri plugin → Web API → notify-rust). Responsive text scaling
(Small/Normal/Large, persisted). Diagnostics moved to popover with on-demand
connections. Share details lightbox with QR code. Connect string prefers external
address. Stale N1 fix (disconnected routes excluded). Replication handler actively
fetches posts+blobs from requester. Hole punch registers remote address for relay.
Replication semaphore (3 concurrent). Peer labels show truncated node ID.
