aliasSession knew that two labels name the same peer, then threw that
knowledge away. The binding lived only in the caller's memory, so a
restart lost it — and the peer could not repair it from its side.
First contact forces the receiver to label a session by the only sender
hint a relay surfaces, an 8-byte signing-key fingerprint (`fp:<hex>`).
Once the peer announces its canonical address, aliasSession moves the
session there. But the peer keeps sending under `fp:<hex>`, because its
transport derives the same label from the same hint every time. After a
restart the session sat under the canonical address, inbound frames
resolved to `fp:<hex>`, and nothing matched. The peer held a valid
session so it never re-ran X3DH: the failure was permanent, and only a
manual re-link cleared it.
Observed in Prism as `No session for address: fp:579c3b335d66e2c0` on
every receive for three days, with a phone whose every RPC timed out.
StorageProvider gains saveSessionAlias / getSessionAlias /
removeSessionAliasesFor, optional so third-party implementations keep
compiling, and implemented across all seven backends. Lookups resolve
through resolveLabel(), which runs BEFORE the peer mutex — locking the
alias while mutating the canonical session would let an aliased and a
canonical caller ratchet the same state concurrently.
A live session under a label always wins over an alias, and prekey
envelopes never resolve: both keep a re-link establishing a fresh
session instead of being redirected into the stale one. Aliases are
dropped in resetSession and acceptIdentityChange, and memoized so the
hot path costs no extra read.
The sdk.test.ts case that asserted a dead fp-label encoded the old
behaviour; it now pins the new contract.
Verified: 1166 tests pass (from 1160). With alias persistence disabled
as a negative control, 5 of the 6 new tests fail, including both
restart cases.
Also drops `baseUrl` from the consumer-strict tsconfig — removed in
TS 6.0, and it was failing the typecheck that gates publishing.

Lands the broadcast-channel primitive Prism asked for in
Docs/shade-feature-request-sender-keys.md. The crypto in
@shade/core/sender-keys.ts was already in place; this release wires
it up as a first-class app-facing API, adds the persistence schema
across all six storage backends (memory, sqlite, indexeddb +
encrypted variants), introduces wire type 0x21 in @shade/proto,
and ships Prism's three acceptance tests verbatim.

V3.1 → V3.12 consolidated and tagged for the first GA release. Wire
format unchanged from 0.4.x — 4.0 peers interoperate with 0.4.x peers
byte-for-byte. The version bump is semantic: audit-cycle complete,
opt-in surface fully exposed, threat model refreshed for every new
surface.
Highlights:
- All 24 @shade/* packages bumped to 4.0.0 in lockstep.
- CHANGELOG 4.0.0 section is the canonical manifest of what landed.
- THREAT-MODEL extended (§10 fingerprint gates, §11 WebRTC P2P, §12
Web-Worker boundary) + residual-risks table refreshed.
- OpenAPI now covers all 27 routes: prekey, transfer, KT, inbox,
bridge, observer, /metrics, /healthz, /ready.
- MIGRATION 0.3.x → 4.0 documented + smoke-tested against
shade migrate-storage on a real SQLite DB.
- docs/audit/REVIEW-BUNDLE.md + SCOPE.md ready for external reviewer.
- scripts/soak.ts harness for the GA-stable 2-week soak window.
- All V*.md plans archived under docs/archive/ with Status: Done.
- Voice/Video carved out into V5.0; 4.0 audit focuses on the frozen
non-realtime stack.
Tests: TS 1000/1000 + Kotlin 11/11 cross-platform vectors green.
Docker: gt.zyon.no/stian/shade-prekey:4.0.0 builds and reports
version 4.0.0 on /health.
