release(v4.8.2): per-from receive serialization + per-connection bridge dedup

Two interlocking robustness fixes for the duplicate-fan-out / first-contact
class of failures Prism reported.

1. `Shade.receive(from, env)` now queues its `manager.decrypt` step
   per `from` so concurrent dispatches can't race the SessionManager
   ratchet or the StorageProvider (sqlite "database is locked", IDB
   transaction conflicts). User message handlers run *outside* the
   queue so streams + file-RPC's nested `shade.receive` calls don't
   self-deadlock.

2. Bridge WS + SSE handlers now run a per-connection bounded msgId
   LRU as defense-in-depth against any flushTo re-entry (event-storm,
   future refactor). Pending-flush chains are wrapped in `.catch(() =>
   {})` so a transient `ws.send` rejection no longer poisons the
   connection's flush loop.

Tests: storming `inbox.blob_stored` 10× per PUT yields exactly one WS/
SSE frame; 8 concurrent `bob.receive('alice', envelope)` calls keep
the ratchet intact and never surface "database is locked".

+## HTTP RPC — browser-friendly request-response (4.1+)
+
+The default `shade.files.client(peer)` requires both peers to be mutually
+addressable over HTTP — the response to a `list`/`read` etc. round-trips
+through `Shade.deliverControlEnvelope`, which POSTs to the peer's
+`/v1/transfer/control` endpoint. **That doesn't work for browsers** —
+a tab can't host an HTTP server, so the server cannot call back outbound.
+
+`@shade/files` 4.1 ships a parallel **request-response** transport that
+lets browser-style clients fully consume the file-RPC surface without
+any inbound channel. It mirrors the way `@shade/server`'s
+`shade-auth-middleware` works: one POST per RPC, encrypted envelope in
+the request body, encrypted response in the same HTTP response.
+
+### Server side — mount the RPC route
+
+```ts
+// 1. Register the file handler. `inlineOnly: true` skips the
+//    streams-bridge (which would require @shade/transfer).
+await shade.files.serve(handlerConfig, { inlineOnly: true });
+
+// 2. Mount the route on your Hono app under any base path.
+app.route('/api/v1/shade-files', shade.files.rpcRoute());
+//                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+//                                         POST <base>/rpc
+```

+| `acceptFirstMessage`| `false` | Accept `0x01` PreKeyMessage envelopes — required when the RPC route also doubles as the X3DH handshake (browser's first-ever request). |
+
+### Browser client
+
+```ts
+import { createShade } from '@shade/sdk';
+
+const shade = await createShade({
+  prekeyServer: 'https://shade.example.com',
+  storage: 'memory',
+  address: 'alice@example.com',

+
+const fs = shade.files.httpClient('bob@example.com', {

+  // Optional: thread CSRF / auth tokens, override fetch, etc.
+  headers: { 'X-CSRF-Token': csrfToken },

+await fs.write('/photos/cover.png', new Uint8Array([/* ... */]), {
+  contentType: 'image/png',
+});
+const result = await fs.read('/photos/cover.png');
+```
+
+### What works in HTTP-RPC mode
+
+- `list`, `stat`, `mkdir`, `delete`, `move`, `getThumbnail`, `custom<K>` — full parity.
+- `write` — **inline only** (≤ 256 KiB plaintext). Larger inputs throw `ConflictError`.
+- `read` — **inline only**. If the server returns a streamed `read` result, the client throws `InternalFileError` directing callers to the stateful pathway.
+
+### Wire contract
+
+```
+POST /rpc HTTP/1.1
+Content-Type: application/octet-stream
+X-Shade-Sender-Address: alice@example.com
+
+<wire-encoded ShadeEnvelope (0x01 first-time, 0x02 after) wrapping
+ JSON-encoded RpcRequest>
+
+────
+
+200 OK
+Content-Type: application/octet-stream
+
+<wire-encoded ShadeEnvelope (0x02) wrapping JSON-encoded RpcResponse | RpcError>
+```
+
+Transport-level failures (no session, undecryptable envelope, body too
+big) return JSON `{ "error": "..." }` with appropriate 4xx status.
+Application-level failures (file not found, permission denied) ship
+encrypted `RpcError` envelopes — the client maps them back to typed
+`FileError` subclasses (`NotFoundError`, `ConflictError`, etc.).
+
+### Symmetry with `@shade/server`
+
+The shape mirrors `@shade/server`'s shade-auth-middleware: encrypted
+envelope rides the request body, server decrypts via the existing
+ratchet session, performs the protected operation, returns an encrypted
+envelope in the response. No bidirectional channel required, no
+WebSocket, no SSE.
+
+### When to use which
+
+| Setup                                         | Use                                           |

+# Feature Request — Public accessor for the device's identity public key
+
+**To**: Shade SDK team
+**From**: Dispatch (browser-based Shade consumer)
+**Target**: Shade SDK 4.4.x (or whichever release vehicle fits)
+**Priority**: medium — unblocks real per-device fingerprint binding at
+enrollment time; consumers ship with placeholder keys until then
+
+Thanks for shipping `@shade/storage-indexeddb` so quickly — that unblocked
+Dispatch's Slice 2.5 (persistent browser identity). During integration we
+hit one more gap that's worth raising as a separate FR.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Expose the local device's Ed25519 identity public key as a public accessor
+on `Shade`, so applications can hand it to their own backend at enrollment
+time for per-device verification, audit, or peer-fingerprint computation.
+
+Today the SDK exposes `myAddress` and `fingerprint`, but the underlying
+identity public key — the cryptographic root that everything else binds
+to — is reachable only via the private `this.storage.getIdentityKeyPair()`
+call inside `Shade`. Consumers building enrollment flows have no way to
+hand the real key over.
+
+## Problem
+
+A common pattern in Shade-using apps is:
+
+1. Browser device generates Shade identity (via `createShade`)
+2. User enters an enrollment token
+3. Browser POSTs to its backend: `{ token, address, identityPublicKey, ... }`
+4. Backend records the device, computes/stores a safety number from the
+   identity key, opens a Shade session
+
+Step 3 today has nowhere to get a real `identityPublicKey` from. Dispatch
+currently sends `crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32))` formatted as
+hex, with this comment in the source:
+
+```ts
+/**
+ * The browser submits a hex public-key field at enroll time so the schema
+ * stays stable. Wiring this to the SDK-generated identity key requires a
+ * Shade SDK addition (no public accessor for the raw identity key today).
+ */
+export function generatePlaceholderIdentityPublicKey(): string { ... }
+```
+
+The backend stores this placeholder but cannot verify anything against it,
+because it's not actually the device's key. Real cryptographic binding is
+deferred until the SDK exposes the underlying key.
+
+## Why `fingerprint` isn't sufficient
+
+`Shade.fingerprint` returns a 12-groups-of-5-digits safety-number string
+designed for human side-channel comparison. That's the right output for a
+"compare these digits with your friend" UX, but it's a derived format, not
+the raw key. Backends that want to:
+
+- Store the key for later signature verification
+- Compute their own safety-number representation (Dispatch uses
+  `deterministicSafetyNumber(localAddr, peerAddr)` based on the raw bytes)
+- Re-derive the fingerprint after an identity rotation
+
+…all need access to the raw 32-byte Ed25519 public key.
+
+## Proposed API
+
+Add a single async accessor on `Shade`:
+
+```ts
+class Shade {
+  /**
+   * The local device's Ed25519 identity public key (32 bytes).
+   *
+   * Stable for the lifetime of the identity. After `rotateIdentity()`
+   * this returns the new key; the old key is preserved in retired-
+   * identities storage for the configured grace period.
+   */
+  get identityPublicKey(): Promise<Uint8Array>;
+}
+```
+
+Internally:
+
+```ts
+get identityPublicKey(): Promise<Uint8Array> {
+  if (!this.initialized) throw new Error('Not initialized');
+  return this.storage.getIdentityKeyPair().then((kp) => {
+    if (!kp) throw new Error('Identity not yet generated');
+    return kp.publicKey;
+  });
+}
+```
+
+If returning a getter that produces a Promise feels off, the equivalent
+method form is fine:
+
+```ts
+async getIdentityPublicKey(): Promise<Uint8Array> { ... }
+```
+
+Either shape works for consumers — pick whichever matches existing SDK
+conventions.
+
+## Alternative considered: object accessor
+
+Returning an object would leave room to expose other identity-related
+fields later without a breaking change:
+
+```ts
+get identity(): Promise<{
+  address: string;
+  publicKey: Uint8Array;
+  fingerprint: string;
+  // future: registrationId, createdAt, etc.
+}>;
+```
+
+This would mildly duplicate `myAddress` + `fingerprint`, but consolidates
+identity-related accessors. Not a blocker for shipping the simpler
+single-purpose accessor — just flagging the option in case the SDK is
+considering broader API ergonomics.
+
+## What this unblocks
+
+For Dispatch specifically:
+
+- Real device identity binding at enrollment (replaces the placeholder
+  `crypto.randomUUID()`-derived hex bytes the backend currently stores)
+- Server-side `computePeerSafetyNumber()` can use the real key instead of
+  the deterministic-from-address stand-in (`shade-identity-provider.ts:151`)
+- Future signature-based device authentication (sign a challenge with the
+  device's identity key during enrollment) becomes possible without
+  another SDK round
+
+For other Shade consumers:
+
+- Any app that hands a device key to its own backend for enrollment —
+  multi-device pairing flows, contact verification UIs, push-notification
+  targeting — gets an actual key to work with
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. New accessor exposed on `Shade` (getter or async method, SDK's
+   preference)
+2. Returns the 32-byte Ed25519 identity public key
+3. Returns the **current** key after `rotateIdentity()`
+4. Throws (or resolves to a clear error) when called before
+   `initialize()` completes
+5. Documented alongside `myAddress` and `fingerprint` in the SDK reference
+6. One unit test in `shade-sdk` confirming the returned bytes match what
+   `storage.getIdentityKeyPair()` holds
+7. Mentioned in the changelog under the next release
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- **Private key access** — consumers should never need it; signature
+  operations go through `shade.send()` etc. Don't expose the secret half.
+- **Cross-peer key lookup** — getting *another* peer's identity key is a
+  separate concern (related to peer-verification storage), not what this
+  FR is about. This is strictly the local device's own key.
+- **Format conversions** — base64/hex/PEM helpers don't belong in the SDK.
+  Consumers can encode the raw bytes however their wire format requires.
+
+## Why this can't be done in consumer-land
+
+The identity keypair is generated by `MemoryStorage` / `SQLiteStorage` /
+`IndexedDBStorage` and consumed by `ShadeSessionManager`. Consumers can't
+reach into either layer without breaching the SDK's encapsulation. A
+public accessor is the only path that doesn't require monkey-patching
+private fields.

+# Feature Request — `@shade/storage-indexeddb`
+
+**To**: Shade SDK team
+**From**: Dispatch (browser-based Shade consumer)
+**Target**: Shade SDK 4.3.x (or whichever release vehicle fits)
+**Priority**: blocks all browser-based Shade apps from achieving session
+persistence across tab refresh
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Ship an official IndexedDB-backed `StorageProvider` adapter as a new
+workspace package `@shade/storage-indexeddb`, so browser-based Shade SDK
+consumers can persist identity, prekeys, sessions, and peer-verification
+state across tab refresh and browser restart — the same way `@shade/storage-sqlite`
+does for Node and `@shade/storage-postgres` does for server deployments.
+
+## Problem
+
+Today the Shade SDK ships three storage paths:
+
+| spec                              | adapter                  | environment      |
+| --------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------- |
+| `"memory"`                        | `MemoryStorage` (in-SDK) | tests, ephemeral |
+| `"sqlite:/path"`                  | `@shade/storage-sqlite`  | Node             |
+| `{ type: 'postgres', url: '…' }`  | `@shade/storage-postgres`| Node servers     |
+
+There is **no browser-storage option**. The only way to run Shade in a
+browser today is `storage: "memory"`, which means:
+
+- Identity keypair regenerates on every page load
+- Sessions reset → re-enrollment after every refresh
+- `getLocalRegistrationId()` returns a fresh value → `device:${id}`
+  address changes → server-side device record orphaned every reload
+
+This forces every browser-based Shade app to either (a) accept the broken
+UX, or (b) build their own `StorageProvider` from scratch — duplicating
+~25 methods × N consumers, with no shared conformance test surface.
+
+The right place to solve this is at the SDK level, exactly mirroring how
+SQLite and Postgres are handled.
+
+## Proposed package
+
+`packages/shade-storage-indexeddb/` — modeled directly after
+`packages/shade-storage-sqlite/`. Same package shape, same test layout,
+same `@shade/core`-only runtime dependency surface.
+
+### Public API
+
+```ts
+// @shade/storage-indexeddb
+export class IndexedDBStorage implements StorageProvider {
+  /**
+   * Open (or create) the IndexedDB database. Idempotent — repeated calls
+   * with the same dbName return a connection sharing the same object stores.
+   */
+  static async create(opts?: { dbName?: string }): Promise<IndexedDBStorage>;
+
+  /**
+   * Cleanly close the underlying connection. Future calls will reopen.
+   * Called by Shade.shutdown() when consumers register cleanup.
+   */
+  async close(): Promise<void>;
+
+  // ─── all StorageProvider methods (identity, prekeys, sessions,
+  //      retired identities, peer verifications, optional stream-state) ───
+}
+```
+
+`dbName` defaults to something like `"shade"`. Consumers like Dispatch
+will pass distinct names per app (`"dispatch-dashboard-shade"`,
+`"dispatch-host-ui-shade"`) so DevTools' IndexedDB inspector groups them
+sensibly, even though origin-isolation already makes the data isolated.
+
+### SDK integration
+
+`@shade/sdk` `resolveStorage()` gets a fourth branch:
+
+```ts
+if (typeof spec === 'object' && spec.type === 'indexeddb') {
+  const moduleId = '@shade/storage-indexeddb';
+  const mod = (await import(moduleId)) as {
+    IndexedDBStorage: { create(opts: { dbName?: string }): Promise<StorageProvider> };
+  };
+  return mod.IndexedDBStorage.create({ dbName: spec.dbName });
+}
+```
+
+Dynamic import keeps `@shade/storage-indexeddb` an optional dependency,
+matching the Postgres pattern — Node-only consumers don't need to install
+a browser-only adapter.
+
+Consumer surface:
+
+```ts
+const shade = await createShade({
+  prekeyServer: 'https://…/shade-prekey',
+  storage: { type: 'indexeddb', dbName: 'my-app-shade' },
+  address: 'device:user@example.com', // optional — falls back to device:${registrationId}
+});
+```
+
+## Implementation guidance (non-prescriptive)
+
+- **IDB wrapper**: suggest `idb` (Jake Archibald's thin wrapper, well-typed,
+  zero deps). Avoid Dexie or idb-keyval — we want full schema control to
+  match the SQL adapters' explicit schemas.
+- **Object-store layout**: one store per StorageProvider category
+  (`identity`, `signedPreKeys`, `oneTimePreKeys`, `sessions`,
+  `trustedIdentities`, `retiredIdentities`, `peerVerifications`,
+  `streamStates`). Keypaths match the natural keys (`keyId`, `address`,
+  `streamId`).
+- **Schema version**: integer, bumped on every shape change. Migrations
+  in `db.upgrade(...)` callback. Document schema-history alongside
+  the SQLite schema.
+- **Concurrency**: IndexedDB transactions are auto-committing — the adapter
+  must keep operations within a single transaction where SQL adapters do.
+  Particular care for `bumpPeerIdentityVersion` (atomic read-modify-write).
+- **Stream-state methods**: implement them. Browser apps will increasingly
+  use `@shade/transfer` for large file resume, and parity with SQLite's
+  capabilities matters.
+
+## Test expectations
+
+Mirror `packages/shade-storage-sqlite/tests/`:
+
+- `indexeddb-storage.test.ts` — full StorageProvider surface (identity,
+  sessions, trusted identities, retired identities)
+- `indexeddb-prekey-store.test.ts` — signed + one-time prekey lifecycle
+- `peer-verifications.test.ts` — verification CRUD + identity-version
+  bumping invariants
+- `indexeddb-stream-state.test.ts` (if stream-state is implemented)
+
+Use **`fake-indexeddb`** for the Node test environment — it's the
+established standard, supports the v3 spec, and lets us run IDB tests
+in `bun test` / `vitest` / `jest` without a real browser.
+
+If/when Shade gains a shared `StorageProvider` conformance test suite,
+this adapter should consume it directly. Until then, follow the SQLite
+adapter's per-method coverage style.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. `@shade/storage-indexeddb` published at version 4.3.0 (or whichever
+   matches the next Shade release)
+2. `@shade/sdk` `resolveStorage()` resolves `{ type: 'indexeddb', dbName? }`
+   via dynamic import
+3. Full StorageProvider conformance in tests (identity, prekeys,
+   sessions, retired identities, peer verifications, stream-state)
+4. Documented in Shade docs alongside SQLite/Postgres adapters
+5. README example showing browser-app integration
+6. Bundle-size note: dynamic-imported IDB module shouldn't pull crypto
+   dependencies — adapter should be ≤ ~10 KB minified+gzipped
+
+## Out of scope (deferred)
+
+- **Encryption-at-rest** for the IDB contents — separate work item; should
+  match the deviceKey-AES-GCM pattern Shade already uses for `secretEnc`
+  in `PersistedStreamState`. This adapter ships unencrypted-at-rest in v1
+  (consistent with SQLite), with the encryption layer added uniformly to
+  all adapters later.
+- **Cross-tab BroadcastChannel sync** — IDB is shared across same-origin
+  tabs already; concurrent writes work via IDB transactions. Real-time
+  notification across tabs (e.g. "session was rotated in another tab") is
+  a separate concern, not storage-adapter scope.
+- **Quota handling** — IDB quota for a Shade keystore is far below realistic
+  browser quotas. If it ever becomes relevant, add a `QuotaExceededError`
+  observability hook then.
+
+## Why this can't be done in consumer-land
+
+Building this in Dispatch (or any other consumer) would mean:
+
+- 25+ method `StorageProvider` re-implementation per consumer
+- No shared conformance tests
+- Schema drift across consumers — each would invent its own object-store
+  shape, blocking any future cross-app data import/export
+- Every Shade SDK update that adjusts `StorageProvider` would force every
+  consumer to track and patch independently
+
+`@shade/storage-sqlite` and `@shade/storage-postgres` are part of the SDK
+for the same reason. IndexedDB belongs alongside them.
+
+## What unblocks
+
+Shipping this unblocks Dispatch's "Slice 2.5" — persistent enrollment
+across browser refresh, which today is the largest QA-friction point in
+the dev loop. Any future browser-Shade consumer (web dashboard,
+contact-list app, browser-extension messenger) gets persistence for free.
