release(v4.0.0): Shade GA — V3.x consolidation + audit prep
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.

# Shade V2.2 — Feature plan: product, platform, and developer experience
This document gathers **planned features** that extend Shade beyond todays core (X3DH + Double Ratchet + Streams/transfer): groups, asynchronous delivery, richer file UX, web workers, CLI, API docs, and scaffolding.
Add optional per-feature status (Idea / Design / IMP / Done).
---
## 1. Groups / multiple participants
**Vision:** Beyond strict 1:1 — multiple identities in the same “conversation” or shared context (messages and possibly shared file/stream policy).
**Challenges:**
- Todays Signal-like core is naturally 1:1; groups need either **pairwise sessions per member**, **sender keys / fan-out**, or a **dedicated group protocol** (larger architectural step).
- Lifecycle: invites, member removal, compromised device, history, and group PCS.
**Goals for early milestones (proposal):**
1. **Document** a recommended pattern for “group-lite” (e.g. coordinator relays ciphertext without decrypting + clients encrypt per-recipient).
2. **Optional** minimal API making fan-out easier in the SDK (without promising full MLS).
**Acceptance criteria (MVP definition):** Explicit scope in docs + one reference architecture; no ambiguous “group is done” without an updated threat model.
---
## 2. Async store-and-forward messaging
**Vision:** Recipient need not be online; **ciphertext** is stored temporarily and fetched when the recipient returns — the server never sees plaintext.
**Distinction from the prekey server:**
- Prekey stays **public keys only** (or extended only under strict policy).
- A **dedicated relay/inbox service** (or app-owned backend) holds **encrypted blobs only** with TTL, idempotency, and authorization (who may list/fetch).
**Deliverables (proposal):**
- Protocol sketch: address registration, `PUT` blob, `GET`/`DELETE` or lease, replay protection at the application layer.
- SDK helpers: outgoing queue, poll/pull, or push-notification hook (without dictating mobile platform).
**Acceptance criteria:** Threat-model section “what the relay sees” + reference implementation or example app.
---
## 3. File metadata and preview
**Vision:** Richer UX **without** leaking sensitive content to the server: filename, MIME type, length where known; **optional** client-generated thumbnails or previews encrypted as separate blocks or small payloads on the control init path.
**Technical considerations:**
- Anything sent must be **E2EE** or omitted; plaintext metadata on the server must be deliberate and minimal.
- Thumbnails should use **format hardening** on the client (size limits, sandboxing in UI).
**Acceptance criteria:** Extended `stream-init` (or sidecar envelope) with optional fields + widget support for “preview when available”.
---
## 4. Web: worker-based crypto and streaming
**Vision:** Large files in the browser without blocking the main thread or blowing RAM — **Web Crypto / noble** inside a **Worker**, **ReadableStream/WritableStream** end-to-end chunk pipeline aligned with `@shade/streams` / transfer.
**Deliverables:**
- `@shade/crypto-web` (or companion) patterns: transferable buffers, lifecycle, errors surfaced to the UI.
- Documented constraints (Safari, chunk sizing, Service Worker vs dedicated worker).
**Acceptance criteria:** E2E demo or test that sends multiMiB through a worker without a blocking UI.
---
## 5. CLI: `shade doctor`
**Vision:** One command that **diagnoses the environment** before production debugging.
**Typical checks (proposal):**
- Reachability of `prekeyServer` (`/health`, optional OpenAPI).
- Local config: storage path, rotation headers, clock skew (relevant for signed requests).
- **Streams:** transfer routes mounted, auth matches expected key, `GET .../state` behaves as expected in test mode.
- CLI / Node/Bun runtime versions and `@shade/*` packages where readable from `package.json`.
**Acceptance criteria:** `shade doctor` with exit codes suitable for CI (warn vs fail).
---
## 6. OpenAPI / docs
**Vision:** All HTTP contracts teams are expected to implement (prekey **and** transfer) appear in **one** OpenAPI story or clearly linked specs — not only README examples.
**Deliverables:**
- Consolidate or cross-reference `openapi.yaml` with transfer endpoints (`/v1/transfer/*`) and security schemes for chunk upload.
- `/docs` (Redoc or similar) or published static artifacts for versioned specs.
**Acceptance criteria:** Generated client (e.g. Python/Go) from spec without manual fixes for the happy path.
---
## 7. `shade init`
**Vision:** Scaffolding from **empty repo** to a **minimal runnable** app with Shade and optional streams.
**Extensions:**
- New or extended template: **minimal Hono/Fastify** app with `Shade.transferRoute()` mounted, auth example matching the SDK authenticator, `.env` template.
- Optional: demo `shade doctor` after init.
**Acceptance criteria:** `shade init …` produces a project that `bun install && bun run start` runs with documented env vars.
