Introduces encrypted private key storage for nodes and users, updates chat message schema to support sender-side encryption, and adds supporting libraries and tests for cryptographic signing and identity unlock flows. Includes new database migrations, API route updates, and React components for identity unlock prompts.
- Add chat keys API endpoint for storing and retrieving encrypted RSA public/private key pairs
- Create client-side crypto utilities for E2E encryption/decryption with hybrid encryption support
- Implement useChatEncryption hook for managing encryption state and key generation in chat UI
- Add chatPublicKey and chatPrivateKeyEncrypted fields to user schema for key storage
- Update chat messages API to return encrypted content with sender's public key for decryption
- Modify send message endpoint to accept pre-encrypted content from client while maintaining legacy server-side encryption
- Update chat page UI to integrate client-side encryption workflow
- Ensure private keys are encrypted client-side with user password before transmission to server
- Server cannot decrypt message content in E2E mode, providing true end-to-end encryption
- Remove ActivityPub infrastructure (webfinger, nodeinfo, inbox, activities, signatures)
- Implement native peer-to-peer Swarm network with gossip protocol
- Replace federated timeline with Swarm timeline aggregating posts from all nodes
- Migrate direct messaging to end-to-end encrypted Swarm Chat system
- Update user interactions (follow, like, repost) to use Swarm protocol
- Add cryptographic key management for DID-based identity system
- Remove server-bound identity model in favor of portable DID identities
- Update documentation to reflect Swarm architecture and capabilities
- Add debug utilities and chat testing tools for Swarm network
- Refactor database schema to support distributed user directory
- Update bot framework to work with Swarm network interactions
- Simplify API routes to use Swarm protocol instead of ActivityPub
- This transition enables true peer-to-peer communication, instant interactions, and encrypted messaging while maintaining sovereign identity through DIDs
