Removed all E2EE chat endpoints, crypto logic, and related API routes, transitioning chat to plain text storage and transport. Updated chat send/receive endpoints to use signed actions and enforce DM privacy settings. Cleaned up Swarm chat inbox, key management, and related debug endpoints. Updated user profile to support DM privacy, improved search for handle queries, and refactored conversation/message logic to support the new model. Migrated bot settings and privacy settings to new locations.
The messages API now resolves and includes sender DIDs for received messages, enabling proper decryption in the chat UI. The chat page adds logic to decrypt self-encrypted messages for sent items and improves V2 envelope handling, while useChatEncryption now serializes ratchet state before storage.
Introduces a migration to add a sender_did column to the chat_messages table and creates new tables for chat_device_bundles, chat_inbox, and chat_one_time_keys. Updates related API routes and adds a script for sender DID migration. These changes support device-based messaging and improved chat security.
