Browsers' Window.fetch is a WebIDL bound operation; storing it as this.fetchImpl / this.fetchFn and calling via the instance receiver threw "Illegal invocation" on the first request. Bind once at construction in InboxClient, LongPollBridge, and SseBridge. Reported by Prism (multi-device E2EE terminal), blocking every browser consumer of the v4.6 transport stack on inbox.start() / bridge.connect(). WsBridge unaffected (uses WebSocket). Node/Bun fetch tolerates a free receiver, so the bug never surfaced server-side — added regression tests that install a strict-receiver globalThis.fetch to catch the issue without an actual browser harness.

@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),
});
