release(v4.11.1): ship pre-built dist/ to npm registry

publish-all.ts now does a tsc → dist/ build per package before pack, then
rewrites package.json's main/types/exports to point at the built artefacts
and ensures `files: ["dist"]` so the tarball ships only the built code.
The in-repo package.json is restored in the finally block so dev/typecheck
keep working without a build pass.

Why: strict-mode consumers (Cyndr) were forced to recompile Shade source
under their own tsconfig and tripped on internal `process.env.X` accesses
and implicit-any parameters. Shipping pre-built `.js` + `.d.ts` makes the
strictness contract live entirely inside Shade.

+# shade-android-keystore
+
+Android-specific bindings for `shade-android`. Lives as a sibling Gradle module so the JVM-only protocol code can keep running in CI without an Android SDK install.
+
+Provides:
+
+- **`KeystoreMasterKey`** — hardware-backed AES-256-GCM master key in the Android Keystore. Optionally biometric-gated (BIOMETRIC_STRONG only — Class 3 assurance), StrongBox-backed when available, invalidated on new biometric enrollment.
+- **`BiometricUnlock`** — coroutine wrapper around `BiometricPrompt` for unlocking a `Cipher` instance bound to the keystore key. Throws `BiometricCancelledException` / `BiometricFailedException` so callers can handle the auth flow without writing custom callbacks.
+- **`KeystoreStorage`** — `StorageProvider` implementation that persists session/identity/prekey state to `SharedPreferences`, each row encrypted under the keystore key with the row's preference key bound as AAD.
+
+## Usage
+
+```kotlin
+import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentActivity
+import no.zyon.shade.ShadeSessionManager
+import no.zyon.shade.crypto.TinkProvider
+import no.zyon.shade.keystore.BiometricUnlock
+import no.zyon.shade.keystore.KeystoreStorage
+
+class MyActivity : FragmentActivity() {
+    private val crypto = TinkProvider()
+    private lateinit var storage: KeystoreStorage
+    private lateinit var manager: ShadeSessionManager
+
+    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
+        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
+
+        storage = KeystoreStorage(this, crypto)
+
+        lifecycleScope.launch {
+            val unlock = BiometricUnlock(
+                activity = this@MyActivity,
+                title = "Unlock Shade",
+                subtitle = "Tap your fingerprint to access your messages",
+            )
+            try {
+                storage.unlock(unlock)
+            } catch (e: BiometricCancelledException) {
+                // user backed out — show a "tap to retry" UI
+                return@launch
+            }
+
+            manager = ShadeSessionManager(crypto, storage)
+            manager.initialize()
+            // ... use manager normally
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+For credential-driven bootstrap (V4.9 profile + V4.10 approval), pair this with `no.zyon.shade.blob.createProfileNamespace` and `no.zyon.shade.approval.signProxyApproval` — both pure-JVM (in `:shade-android`).
+
+## Threat model
+
+- **Compromised app process**: cannot read the AES key (it's in the secure environment). Can attempt to use the cipher only after the user has authenticated; biometric re-prompts are required after each biometric event.
+- **Stolen device with known PIN**: cannot unlock — `setUserAuthenticationParameters(0, BIOMETRIC_STRONG)` excludes `DEVICE_CREDENTIAL`.
+- **Attacker enrolls own biometric**: `setInvalidatedByBiometricEnrollment(true)` invalidates the key on enrollment, forcing a credential rebootstrap (which would need username + password + PIN).
+- **Catastrophic recovery**: `forgetEverything()` deletes the master key and clears the SharedPreferences. Pair with `Profile.delete()` for full account erasure.
+
+## Build
+
+Requires an Android SDK. The Gradle build uses Android Gradle Plugin 8.7+, AGP minSdk 28 (Pie+ for BiometricPrompt baseline), targetSdk 35.
+
+```bash
+JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk-21 ./gradlew :shade-android-keystore:assembleDebug
+```
+
+Unit tests: none yet — `KeystoreStorage` requires Android runtime. Robolectric or instrumented tests against an emulator are tracked as a follow-up. The pure-JVM `SessionStateJson` round-trip serializer is tested in `:shade-android` (`SessionStateJsonTest`).

+ *
+ * Lifecycle:
+ *

+ *      until the next biometric event (re-enrollment, etc.).
+ *   3. While unlocked, `getSession`/`saveSession` etc. work normally.
+ *   4. `lock()` clears the in-memory unlocked flag so a future
+ *      operation triggers another biometric prompt.
+ *

+# 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>;
+

+
+`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.

+# Streaming Double-Ratchet sub-sessions (V4.11)
+
+`ShadeStream` wraps individual frames on a long-lived, high-frequency,
+often one-directional channel (e.g. a server→client console-log
+WebSocket) in an **independent** Double Ratchet derived from — but never
+mutating — an already-established parent Shade session.
+
+This is the answer to Vyvern FR `shade-ws-streaming-ratchet.md`. It is a
+first-class API, *not* the "documented contract that `send`/`receive` is
+safe per-frame" fallback: the Double-Ratchet crypto was already safe for
+that access pattern, but the `send`/`receive` wrapper layer was not
+(per-frame keystore writes; a shared per-peer mutex and a single stored
+session row coupling the stream to the HTTP path). `ShadeStream` keeps
+the proven ratchet and fixes the wrapper.
+
+## API
+
+Transport-agnostic, exactly like `send`/`receive`: it emits/consumes
+wire bytes; you own the WebSocket.
+
+```ts
+// Initiator (the side that calls openStream)
+const stream = await shade.openStream(peerAddr);
+ws.send(stream.handshakeFrame());            // → STREAM_OPEN
+// first inbound WS frame is the peer's STREAM_OPEN_ACK:
+await stream.handleHandshake(ackBytes);      // stream now usable
+ws.send(await stream.seal(utf8(logLine)));   // outbound frame
+onLog(await stream.open(inboundBytes));      // inbound frame
+await stream.close();                        // on ws close/error
+
+// Responder
+const stream = await shade.acceptStream(peerAddr, openBytes); // usable now
+ws.send(stream.handshakeFrame());            // → STREAM_OPEN_ACK
+// open()/seal() as above
+```
+
+Route inbound bytes with `inspectEnvelopeType()`:
+`'stream-open' | 'stream-open-ack' | 'stream-frame'`.
+
+## Seeding (no prekey-server round trip)
+
+The stream root key is derived from an identity-bound **3-DH** exchange
+— the X3DH pattern minus signed/one-time prekeys, because the peer's
+identity is *already* mutually pinned by the parent session's TOFU. Two
+ephemerals are exchanged inside the transport (`STREAM_OPEN` /
+`STREAM_OPEN_ACK`); no prekey server is involved.
+
+```
+slotA = DH(initiatorEphemeral, responderIdentity)   — authenticates responder
+slotB = DH(initiatorIdentity,  responderEphemeral)   — authenticates initiator
+slotC = DH(initiatorEphemeral, responderEphemeral)   — ephemeral forward secrecy
+SK    = HKDF(ikm = slotA‖slotB‖slotC, salt = streamId, info = "ShadeStream/v1")
+```
+
+Both peers compute the identical three scalars regardless of role.
+`SK` then bootstraps a textbook Double Ratchet by handing the
+responder's ephemeral to `initSenderSession`/`initReceiverSession`
+exactly the way X3DH hands its signed prekey to the ratchet — so
+`ratchetEncrypt`/`ratchetDecrypt` and every guarantee they carry apply
+unchanged.
+
+## Security contract (answers FR R1–R7)
+
+- **R1 — same properties as `send`/`receive`.** Each frame is one
+  `ratchetEncrypt`/`ratchetDecrypt` over the *same* crypto as the HTTP
+  path: AES-256-GCM confidentiality, per-frame forward secrecy via the
+  one-way HMAC chain-key KDF with in-place zeroize of the spent chain
+  key, and replay/rewind rejection (a re-delivered or counter-rewound
+  frame fails closed). The handshake is mutually authenticated against
+  the identities the parent session already pinned.
+- **R2 — one-directional resilience.** A long server→client burst with
+  no client traffic only advances the symmetric sending chain (no DH
+  step until the peer replies — standard Double Ratchet). Forward
+  secrecy holds per frame in this regime. Over an ordered transport
+  (WebSocket/TCP) zero keys are skipped per frame.
+- **R3 — bounded memory.** Out-of-order arrivals are capped by the
+  ratchet's `MAX_SKIP` (1000) and `MAX_CACHED_SKIPPED_KEYS` (2000)
+  with oldest-key eviction. In-order delivery retains nothing. Verified
+  to stay at zero retained keys across a 5000-frame burst.
+- **R4 — browser parity.** Identical API and guarantees in the browser
+  SDK: `ShadeStream` is on the same `Shade` class over the same
+  `CryptoProvider` (`SubtleCryptoProvider`), so the IndexedDB-backed
+  build behaves identically to the `sqlite:` server build. No storage
+  is touched at all (see R7), so the keystore backend is irrelevant.
+- **R5 — independent lifecycle.** The stream ratchet is derived without
+  reading or writing the stored parent `SessionState`, runs on its own
+  private op-mutex (not the per-peer `send`/`receive` queues), and is
+  zeroized on `close()`. Opening, using for thousands of frames, and
+  closing a stream leaves the parent session byte-identical; the HTTP
+  path keeps working concurrently against the same peer. Each
+  `openStream` gets a fresh `streamId` and an independent root, so
+  concurrent streams to one peer never share key material.
+- **R6 — wire framing.** `@shade/proto` defines `STREAM_OPEN` (0x31),
+  `STREAM_OPEN_ACK` (0x32), `STREAM_FRAME` (0x33). A `STREAM_FRAME`
+  carries one Double-Ratchet message via the exact ratchet inner codec
+  the HTTP path uses. One sealed logical frame ⇒ one self-delimiting
+  wire frame ⇒ one WS text/binary frame.
+- **R7 — performance.** The ratchet lives **only in memory and is never
+  persisted**. There is therefore *zero* per-frame storage I/O — the
+  per-frame cost is exactly the symmetric KDF + one AES-GCM, the same
+  primitives the HTTP path runs. This is strictly better than the
+  "doubled CPU" the Vyvern roadmap budgeted, because the dominant cost
+  the naive `send`/`receive`-per-frame approach would have paid (a
+  `saveSession` keystore write per frame) is eliminated, not doubled.
+  Not persisting is also a *security* property, not a shortcut: writing
+  evolving per-frame ratchet secrets to disk would defeat forward
+  secrecy. A dropped/reconnected stream is re-opened with a fresh
+  handshake, never resumed.
+
+## Double-Ratchet ordering note
+
+A responder cannot `seal()` until it has `open()`ed at least one frame
+from the initiator (standard Signal behaviour — the responder has no
+sending chain until the first DH step). For a server-heavy stream
+either make the bursty data sender the **initiator**, or have the
+initiator send one priming frame immediately after the handshake.
+
+## Tests
+
+- `packages/shade-core/tests/stream.test.ts` — handshake agreement,
+  frame round-trips, 5000-frame one-directional burst (bounded skipped
+  keys + forward-secrecy zeroize), parent-session independence (R5),
+  replay/rewind rejection, mutual authentication against pinned
+  identities, `close()` zeroize/idempotence.
+- `packages/shade-proto/tests/stream-wire.test.ts` — wire round-trips
+  and type-tag/length rejection for all three stream frame kinds.

+ *
+ * Wraps a long-lived, high-frequency, often-one-directional channel
+ * (e.g. a server→client WebSocket log burst) in an *independent* Double
+ * Ratchet that is derived from — but never mutates — an already
+ * established parent Shade session.
+ *
+ * Why a sub-ratchet rather than reusing `ShadeSessionManager`:
+ *
+ *  - **Independence (R5).** A stream gets its own root key, chains, DH
+ *    ratchet and op-mutex. Opening/closing it never touches the stored
+ *    parent `SessionState` nor serialises against the HTTP send/receive
+ *    queue.
+ *  - **Performance (R7).** The stream ratchet lives only in memory and
+ *    is *never* written to the keystore. There is therefore zero
+ *    per-frame storage I/O — the cost is purely the symmetric KDF +
+ *    AES-GCM, the same primitives the HTTP path uses.
+ *  - **Forward secrecy.** Not persisting the evolving ratchet state is
+ *    a feature, not a shortcut: writing per-frame secrets to disk would
+ *    actively defeat the forward-secrecy guarantee. A dropped/reconnected
+ *    stream is re-opened with a fresh handshake, not resumed.
+ *
+ * ## Seeding (no prekey-server round trip)
+ *
+ * The stream root key is derived from an identity-bound 3-DH exchange —
+ * the X3DH pattern minus the signed / one-time prekeys, because the
+ * peer's identity is *already* mutually pinned by the parent session's
+ * TOFU. Two ephemeral keys are exchanged inside the transport itself
+ * (`STREAM_OPEN` / `STREAM_OPEN_ACK`); no prekey server is involved.
+ *
+ *   slotA = DH(initiatorEphemeral, responderIdentity)   — auth of responder
+ *   slotB = DH(initiatorIdentity,  responderEphemeral)   — auth of initiator
+ *   slotC = DH(initiatorEphemeral, responderEphemeral)   — ephemeral FS
+ *
+ *   SK = HKDF(ikm = slotA‖slotB‖slotC, salt = streamId, info = "ShadeStream/v1")
+ *
+ * Both peers compute the identical three scalars regardless of role, so
+ * `SK` agrees. An attacker lacking the responder's identity private key
+ * cannot form slotA; one lacking the initiator's cannot form slotB —
+ * the handshake is therefore mutually authenticated against the same
+ * identities the parent session already trusts.
+ *
+ * `SK` then bootstraps a textbook Double Ratchet by handing the
+ * responder's ephemeral to {@link initSenderSession} /
+ * {@link initReceiverSession} exactly the way X3DH hands its signed
+ * prekey to the ratchet — so `ratchetEncrypt` / `ratchetDecrypt` (and
+ * thus every R1–R3 guarantee they already carry) apply unchanged.

+ * CAS / etag semantics:

+/**
+ * V4.10 — cross-host approval routing.
+ *
+ * Two pieces, both app-level (no relay changes):
+ *
+ * 1. A canonical schema for the V4.9 profile blob. The blob is opaque to
+ *    Shade, but Prism's `cross-host-approval-routing` FR pointed out that
+ *    every Shade app that supports credential-driven device linking will
+ *    end up reinventing the same `hosts[]` / `clients[]` /
+ *    `trustedApproverFingerprints[]` shape. We bless one here so apps can
+ *    interop and so the proxy-approval verify path has a stable place to
+ *    look up trusted-approver public keys.
+ *
+ * 2. Build / sign / verify helpers for `approvalNeeded` and
+ *    `linkApproveByProxy` frames. The frames themselves are app-defined
+ *    payloads sent over the existing `Shade.send` / `Shade.receive`
+ *    bilateral E2EE channel — Shade just exposes the signing-payload
+ *    canonicalization and Ed25519 plumbing so a fingerprint+signature
+ *    bound to a long-term identity key can be verified on any host that
+ *    has a fresh copy of the user's profile blob.
+ *
+ * The proxy-approval signature is *belt-and-suspenders* on top of the
+ * E2EE that delivered the frame: the E2EE channel already authenticates
+ * the sender's session, but the signature ties the approval explicitly
+ * to the approver's long-term identity key. That makes the approval
+ * verifiable independently of session state — useful if a host
+ * receives a forwarded approval without a prior session, and necessary
+ * for replay-resistance in the face of a compromised relay that
+ * reorders bilateral sends.
+ *
+ * Headless servers without a GUI use this with the existing X3DH-on-
+ * first-send behavior of `Shade.send` to ask any trusted-approver
+ * client (typically a phone) to approve a `linkRequest` from a new
+ * device. The approver phone biometrically gates a long-term Ed25519
+ * sign, ships the frame back, and the server runs `verifyProxyApproval`
+ * against the freshest profile blob before completing pairing.

+ * V4.9 — relay-side encrypted profile storage.
+ *
+ * The `Profile` namespace lets a Shade-based app store a small,
+ * AEAD-sealed JSON blob on the relay keyed by a deterministic slotId
+ * derived from the user's master key. A brand new device that knows
+ * only the credentials (password + PIN → masterKey via the existing
+ * `@shade/storage-encrypted` KDF) can locate, decrypt, and update the
+ * blob. The relay sees only opaque slotIds and AEAD-sealed bytes — it
+ * never decrypts and cannot link slots to users.
+ *
+ * This is the *primitive* Prism uses for credential-driven device
+ * linking (Phase 2 of the Prism device-linking plan): the blob holds
+ * the list of paired hosts, the new device reads it, picks the first
+ * online host, and starts a link-request handshake. But it's
+ * deliberately app-shaped — any Shade app needing a credential-only
+ * bootstrap into existing E2EE state can use it. Pass a different
+ * `app` namespace string per use-case so two apps under the same
+ * master never collide on the same slot.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   const km = await KeyManager.unlock(...);          // existing v4.5 flow
+ *   const profile = createProfileNamespace({
+ *     baseUrl: 'https://shade.example/',

+ *        broadcasts "hello", both receivers' onMessage fires with
+ *        `meta.kind === 'broadcast'` and the same plaintext.
+ *
+ *   (1*) revocation: same setup, then `removeMember(receiverA)`. Receiver
+ *        A's next attempt to decrypt a subsequent broadcast fails (or is
+ *        silently dropped); receiver B keeps working.
+ *
+ *   (2)  persistence: create channel, add members, broadcast N messages,
+ *        `shutdown()`, re-open with the same backing store, channel still
+ *        exists, member list intact, generation preserved, next broadcast
+ *        decrypts on receiver side.
+ *
+ *   (3)  no new wire-format changes visible to apps — the pair-flow stays
+ *        a single round-trip; the SDK does the sender-key distribution
+ *        inline.  (Validated by inspecting the API surface.)

+ * IndexedDB-backed StorageProvider with at-rest encryption.
+ *
+ * Schema is the IndexedDB equivalent of `EncryptedSQLiteStorage`: one object
+ * store per `_enc` table, sealed payloads stored as `Uint8Array` in a
+ * `ciphertext` field, routing/timestamp fields kept plaintext where SQLite
+ * does so for query efficiency. Crypto stack — `KeyManager`, `aeadSeal`,
+ * `aeadOpen`, row-codec sealers, AAD scheme — is shared verbatim with the
+ * SQLite/Postgres backends, so a row sealed under one backend decrypts
+ * under another given the same `KeyManager`.
+ *
+ * Browser-safe: imports `idb` (~12 kB, pure JS) and SubtleCrypto only.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ * ```ts
+ * import { KeyManager } from '@shade/storage-encrypted/crypto';
+ * import { EncryptedIndexedDBStorage } from '@shade/storage-encrypted/idb';
+ *
+ * const km = await KeyManager.open({
