Better performance & clearer relay choices

Performance is a major focus of this release: fewer duplicate relay queries, less repeated processing as events arrive, and less redundant downloading of cached history on relays that support reconciliation. Shared loaders, batched list and CI updates, and search indexing only when needed reduce background work while browsing busy repositories. Cached issues and pull requests return with their known statuses before relay refresh, while improved history loading recovers older conversations that relay limits could previously hide.

Public repositories now default to Curated relay views, with clearer source labels and an Expanded option for wider discovery. Switch views without reloading and remember your choice per repository. Refreshed status icons, more readable PR stacks, and better profile loading make ongoing work easier to follow.

The release also brings broad security updates across app dependencies and Android build tools, an Applesauce v7 upgrade, and reproducible Nix-based release workflows that keep Android compilation separate from signing secrets.

Added

• Remember Curated or Expanded relay choices per repository in this browser, with a Default option that inherits the global repository view setting.

• Add an opt-in profiling build with relay waterfalls, long-frame observations, and cache timings for isolated performance investigations.

• Delete software releases you published, optionally including their asset events; the deletion request goes to your outbox, the repository relays, and Zapstore for Android releases.

Changed

• Patch the Nix npm fallback and its bundled HTTP dependencies while preserving the Node runtime.

• Update development and CI to pnpm 10.34.9 for package-install security fixes, with explicit esbuild and SWC build-script approvals.

• Update Android builds to Java 21.0.13 and Gradle 8.14.6, with patched networking, cryptography, archive, XML, and collection dependencies for build tools, lint, and unit-test models.

• Update CI publication tools to ngit 3.0.4 and Netlify CLI 27.14.2, using patched Nix native libraries for ngit and refreshed Netlify runtime dependencies.

• Update the GRASP integration fixture to 3.0.9 with refreshed certificate verification and root certificates.

• Upgrade Vitest to version 4 for patched test-server dependencies and adapt browser-observer mocks to its constructor semantics.

• Update the Nix development and CI environment to Node.js 24.22.1 with its native security fixes and pinned certificate bundle, align shell pnpm with CI, and refresh the matching Playwright browser tooling. Remove the unsupported Intel macOS shell target; Linux and Apple Silicon targets remain.

• Restore cached repository items with their known statuses before relay refresh, and cache new collaboration events only after repository-relay confirmation.

• Default public repository views to relay-confirmed items and discussion, with per-event source labels and a responsive on-page menu for switching between Curated and Expanded relays without reloading. Existing explicit preferences are preserved.

• Reconcile public repository history with NIP-77 when matching events are cached, fetching missing IDs through shared rate-limit admission and retaining coverage-aware fallback for unsupported relays.

• Share focused comment, PR-update and CI queries between repository lists and detail pages, preserving immediate loading on direct entry.

• Share one repository item loader between issue and PR lists, avoiding duplicate root subscriptions while retaining additive maintainer and relay discovery.

• Reuse event tag-value indexes when dispatching batched loader results, reducing repeated tag scans across subscribers.

• Build local fuzzy-search indexes only while searching, avoiding indexing work when browsing repositories, issues, and PRs.

• Coalesce CI workflow grouping during event bursts, preserving the first and latest results while reducing repeated work for PR, commit, and repository checks.

• Coalesce issue/PR and essentials list rebuilds during event bursts, preserving initial and latest results while limiting repeated UI derivation work.

• Upgrade to Applesauce v7 with paced, coverage-aware automatic history loading; retain repository fetch ownership, verification policy, and explicit batch-triggered search and notification history using v7 coverage.

• Run Nostr CI checks, previews, web deployments and Android releases through pinned Nix apps, with Android compilation separated from secret-bearing signing.

• Use GitHub's Octicons and colour conventions for issue, PR and patch statuses: closed and draft PRs get their own shapes, merged and resolved items are purple instead of pink, and patches share the PR icons.

Fixed

• Keep page content from shifting sideways when navigating between pages with and without a scrollbar.

• Keep cached NIP-05 routes available while refreshing expired mappings, including during transient network failures.

• Update the browser event-cache adapter to remove unused lookup dependencies with upstream security findings, retaining existing cache backend selection and support for legacy injected providers.

• Update Zod to version 4 with compatible form resolvers for upstream collection-validation security fixes; preserve existing draft and repository-selection schemas.

• Upgrade React Router to version 7 for current redirect and URL-handling security fixes while retaining the existing declarative routes.

• Update compatible JavaScript dependencies for upstream security fixes, including Capacitor navigation guards, Vite development-server protections, React Router redirects and fflate ZIP parsing. Refresh affected build-tool dependencies while preserving the Applesauce patch.

• Load author profiles from configured fallback relays as well as profile indexes, so issue names and avatars can appear without visiting each user's profile page.

• Remember the five most recently used decrypted private Git service list versions per account and share concurrent decrypt requests to avoid repeated signer prompts after reloads.

• Preserve slow repository cache restores and load cached statuses before supplemental relay items, avoiding count churn when a warm cache takes more than three seconds to read.

• Restore cached public repository announcements before relay discovery so warm issue/PR views can load without waiting for network privacy classification.

• Recover older repository issues and PRs when relays cap the initial root query, including late maintainer coordinates and supplemental relays.

• Release superseded issue/PR list queries immediately as roots and essentials arrive, avoiding continued processing by obsolete cached models.

• Release repository-owned item and author-mailbox subscriptions when leaving the repository, while preserving active shared consumers.

• Avoid repeated broad tag-index scans when opening populated issue/PR timelines with Applesauce v7.

• Avoid re-querying empty tag history after a successful initial EOSE while keeping live updates active.

• Remove avoidable per-filter waiting from explicit notification history batches while preserving shared concurrency limits and relay cooldowns.

• Honour limits on local event-store queries without time bounds through Applesauce v7's query implementation. Existing Android signer restoration, exact-ID deletion and WebSocket recovery fixes remain supplied upstream.

• Continue repository search history from each completed initial filter response, preserving inclusive timestamp boundaries instead of repeating the first page.

• Load automatic history beyond relay result caps without treating failed or cancelled pages as exhausted; report saturated timestamp boundaries as incomplete.

• Automatically continue public repository discovery when a private Git service is unavailable and no private repository evidence exists; avoid labelling unknown repositories private.

• Show long inferred PR stacks in top-to-bottom columns on wider screens so every title stays readable instead of truncating to fit one row.
