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/recovery

Social key recovery for Shade — V3.10.

Shamir Secret Sharing over GF(2^8) splits the user's identity backup key into n shares; any threshold-many k together reconstruct the identity onto a new device. Distribution and reconstruction ride existing 1:1 Shade sessions — no centralized recovery agent.

Install

bun add @shade/recovery

Quick wire-up

import {
  setupRecovery,
  attachGuardian,
  requestRecovery,
  MemoryRecoveryStore,
} from '@shade/recovery';

// Primary (Alice's existing device)
await setupRecovery({
  shade,
  guardians: ['bob', 'carol', 'dan', 'eve', 'faythe'],
  threshold: 3,
  deliver: async (to, envelope) => myOutbox.send(to, envelope),
});

// Each guardian
attachGuardian({
  shade,
  store: new MemoryRecoveryStore(),    // swap for persistent store in prod
  approve: async (ctx) => askUser(ctx),
  deliver: async (to, envelope) => myOutbox.send(to, envelope),
});

// New device (Alice on a fresh phone)
await requestRecovery({
  shade: tempShade,
  originalAddress: 'alice',
  setupId: '<from recovery card>',
  threshold: 3,
  guardians: ['bob', 'carol', 'dan', 'eve', 'faythe'],
  deliver: async (to, envelope) => myOutbox.send(to, envelope),
});
