+## Amy (CLI)
+
+- New **`amy`**, a non-interactive CLI Nostr client that drives the same Quartz + Commons engine as the apps. Available on macOS and Linux from the GitHub Release.
+- Subcommands: `account` / `use`, `profile`, `post`, `feed`, `notes`, `dm send | list | await | send-file` (NIP-17, kind:14 + kind:15), `marmot …`, `store stat | sweep-expired | scrub | compact`
+- Cache-first reads from a local file-backed event store; relays.json gone — `kind:10002 / 10050 / 10051` events in the store *are* the config
+- Secure key storage — private keys move out of `identity.json` into the OS keychain or a NIP-49 encrypted file; on-disk data restricted to owner-only
+- Color, human-readable output by default; `--json` opts in
+
+## Quartz
+
+- Adds **NIP-AC** — WebRTC call signaling events (offer / answer / ICE / hangup / reject / renegotiate) over EphemeralGiftWrap, multi-device, group calls
+- Adds **EphemeralGiftWrapEvent (kind 21059)** — replaces 20s expiration GiftWraps for call signaling

+- Adds **MLS / Marmot** event types and a pure-Kotlin MLS engine with IETF RFC 9420 interop test vectors (no native deps)
+- Adds an async **SQLite event persistence layer** with NIP-09 / NIP-50 / NIP-62 compliance and a Room-style connection pool, plus a reactive `EventStoreProjection` over it
+- Adds a **file-backed event store** — flock + transactions, scrub/compact, NIP-50 full-text search, NIP-62 Right-to-Vanish, NIP-01 tiebreaker, NIP-09 created_at window, deletion-author check, SQLite parity matrix
+- Promotes the relay toolkit into the new **`geode`** module — a real Nostr relay implementing NIP-01, NIP-45, **NIP-77 negentropy reconciliation** (strfry parity) and a **NIP-86 management API**, with TOML config, graceful drain, and adaptive connection pooling for 10k+ connections
+- Adds an **EventInterner** so deserialized events share canonical instances, with an interning event store that interns on insert
+- Adds **Ktor KMP HTTP** implementations alongside OkHttp
+- Adds **macOS / iOS / Linux native targets**, plus pure-Kotlin Ed25519 and X25519 for those platforms; `commonMain` now compiles for Kotlin/Native
+
+## Crypto and Performance
+
+- **custom pure-Kotlin secp256k1**
+  - **Starts to replace `fr.acinq.secp256k1` with C and ASM acceleration:
+  - Hardware SHA-256 (SHA-NI on x86_64, ARMv8 CE on ARM64)
+  - Comb method for G multiplication → 3× faster sign/keygen
+  - Same-pubkey **batch** Schnorr verify (5–6× throughput)
+  - `verifySchnorrFast` for Nostr (skips y-parity inversion)
+  - 4×64-bit limb representation, lazy field ops, ARM64 ASM `fe_mul`
+  - Native macOS / iOS / Linux crypto on KMP
+  - Standalone `libsecp256k1-nostr` / `libschnorr256k1` C project
+- **Concurrent caching DNS resolver** (SurgeDns) — lock-free DNS cache, 24h positive TTL, stale-while-revalidate, persisted across process restarts
+- **Smoother video playback** — warm ExoPlayer pool, tuned LoadControl, VideoCache warmup 10s → 1.5s, retained warm players, stable controller-overlay tree
+- **Faster icons** — shared FontFamily and TextMeasurer across all Material Symbols
+- **Faster chat lists** — typed sealed keys, stable per-chatroom LazyColumn key, hoisted static modifiers
+- **Faster note rendering** — cached event-derived values, second-pass remember-key fixes, cut per-item allocations during feed scroll
+- **Faster Quartz queries** — direct-slot driver for replaceable + addressable lookups, streaming k-way merge, smallest-first FTS intersect, parallel Schnorr verify in the ingest queue, index-driven (`FilterIndex`) fanout for `LocalCache.observables` and `LiveEventStore`
+- **Faster rich-text translation** — split UI from orchestration, dedupe boilerplate
+- **Thumbnail disk cache** for profile pictures; Coil disk-cache eviction moved off the write path to prevent scroll stalls
+- **Paginated GiftWrap loading** for the DM chat list
+- **Bookmark events** preload via EventFinderFilterAssembler
+- Drops `remember` wrappers where overhead exceeded savings
+
+## QUIC + nestsClient (foundation)
+
+- New **pure-Kotlin QUIC v1 + HTTP/3 + WebTransport** client (no JNI, no native deps). Powers the **NIP-53 audio-rooms over MoQ-transport** path.
+- Full **RFC 9002 loss recovery and retransmission**, **0-RTT early data**, **1-RTT key update**, **TLS 1.3 session resumption (PSK)**, **ECN**, connection migration with **path validation**, **Retry** and **Version Negotiation** packet handling, **stateless-reset** detection, and a broad DoS-hardening / RFC-compliance stabilization sweep
+- Passes the **quic-interop-runner** test matrix against picoquic and quic-go (handshake, transfer, multiplexing, retry, 0-RTT, key-update, ECN, http3), with qlog diagnostics
+- Multiple security and correctness audits, RFC 9001 test vectors, live interop against aioquic and picoquic
+- **`nestsClient`** module — MoQ-transport (IETF) reference implementation plus a production **moq-lite Lite-03/04** codec with version-aware ALPN negotiation, `catalog.json` publishing aligned with kixelated/hang, Opus, AudioRecord/AudioTrack, a reconnection policy with proactive JWT refresh, and a cross-stack (Amethyst ↔ Rust ↔ browser) interop harness in CI
+
+## Improvements and Fixes

+- **Zoomable media** grows from its source bounds
+- **Configurable max-hashtag spam filter**
+- **Account setting** to forward kind 0 events to a local relay

+- **Account Settings**: split broadcast tracker visibility from Complete UI mode, hide payment-targets icon by default, place it after Zap, float the broadcast banner as a rounded card
+- **Danger Zone** section in settings
+- **NIP-89 client tag** — per-account toggle to disable it, synced via NIP-78 security settings; on by default and moved into Compose settings
+- **Local Blossom cache** — image and profile-picture fetches route through a local Blossom cache via an OkHttp interceptor that catches all sha256-keyed URLs

+- Chat cursor jumping fixed
+- Avatar zoom-in keeps aspect ratio during the animation
+- Profile pictures center-cropped to prevent squashing
+- HLS video playback routed to the right MediaSource; HLS multi-rendition videos collapse to a single gallery tile and render with artwork + graceful fallback

+- Hand-raise button in audio rooms now has a visible toggled state
+- GiftWrap unwrapping for all writable accounts when always-on is enabled
+- Search bar bech32 paste navigates instead of running a search
+- Scaffold spacing keeps top/bottom bars visible on non-scrollable lists

+- Swipe-to-dismiss containers fixed on newer Compose
+- `InterestSetEvent` (kind 30015) now fetched for the account
+- Right-to-Vanish settings observe toggles reactively, preserve prior behavior on upgrade
+- Auto-reconnect relays after a server-initiated disconnect, plus a periodic keep-alive to revive relays stuck in long backoff
+- Broadcasting relays kept out of personal & channel sends but always included in non-private sends; a-tag cycle in the broadcast relay computation broken
+- NIP-46 bunker decrypt/encrypt response parsing fixed, with a longer timeout
+- Hidden DMs no longer counted toward the unread message badge
+- Profile header hides the `_@` prefix on NIP-05 names
+- Foreground-service-not-allowed exception from the background handled gracefully
+- Fixes Samsung crash on outgoing call
+- Foreground service starts earlier to prevent call death on Android 14+
+- ProGuard / R8 keep no-arg constructors of Room `*_Impl` classes
+- Stop ringtone and call notification when rejecting consecutive calls
+
+## UI Refresh
+
+- Migrates the icon set from Material Icons to **Material Symbols (thin weight)** for a more consistent, modern look across the app
+- Drops unused legacy drawables
+- Bottom-bar icon size bumped to compensate for Material Symbols padding
+
+## Build & Documentation
+
+- Splits Android into its own CI job, adds Android Lint as the first step, merges test+build to eliminate duplicate compilation, drops `assembleDebug` APK uploads
+- Adds a `:nestsClient:test` step to the desktop CI leg
+- Adds a quic-interop-runner CI workflow and a browser-side cross-stack interop workflow
+- Broadens `libicu` Depends so the `.deb` installs across Debian and Ubuntu
