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.
Phases 1-5 of the Identity Architecture rollout are on master; Phase 6
(rotating DM IDs) is deferred. This bumps the protocol-breaking
release: v0.5 and v0.6 cannot interoperate.
Packaging:
- Cargo + tauri.conf: 0.5.3 -> 0.6.0
- deploy.sh: drop -beta filename suffix
- download.html: single v0.6.0 section with fork notice at the top;
changelog entry summarising the five phases and the schema migration;
Phase 6's rotating-DM-ID status noted as deferred

Users can now hold multiple posting identities on one device and
publish content under any of them. Each persona has its own ed25519
key; peers see them as distinct authors with no link back to the
device's network identity.
Node methods:
- list_posting_identities() -> Vec<PostingIdentity>
- create_posting_identity(display_name) — generates a fresh ed25519
key, persists, auto-follows self
- delete_posting_identity(node_id) — refuses to delete the default
- set_default_posting_identity(node_id) — validates identity exists;
Node's cached default_posting_id/secret picks up on next restart
- create_post_as(posting_id, content, intent, attachments) — routes
through a shared create_post_inner that takes posting_id +
posting_secret as parameters
Post creation pipeline:
- create_post_with_visibility now delegates to create_post_inner
using default_posting_id/secret
- create_post_inner threads posting_id / posting_secret through
every content-signing, encryption, manifest, blob-header, and
CDN-manifest step — the persona is fully honored end to end
- update_neighbor_manifests now takes a posting_id param too, so
posts from persona X only update neighbor manifests for X's own
prior posts
Tauri IPC:
- list_posting_identities / create_posting_identity /
delete_posting_identity / set_default_posting_identity
- create_post_as with posting_id_hex + the same visibility params
as create_post
CLI:
- personas / create-persona <name> / delete-persona <id>
- post-as <posting_id> <text>
Smoke-tested two-persona scenario:
- A creates "Work" persona; posts from default and Work
- B follows both; pulls from A; gets all three posts
- Authors are AB84BA... (Work) and 7CD949... (default) — distinct
on the wire
Frontend UX (Settings > Personas, compose picker, filter pills,
merged feed labels) is scoped as a separate commit.

Merge-with-key: decrypt exported posts using original identity seed, re-create
under current identity with prior_author in BlobHeader for provenance tracking.
Download page restructured with stable (v0.4.4) + beta (v0.5.0-beta) sections.
Version bumped across all crates.
