release(v4.2.1): fix concurrent-ratchet desync via OutboundQueue waiter cursor
Pull-mode httpClient + drainer + parallel RPCs against the same peer
deteriorated after ~10s with `DecryptionError`. Two bugs combined:

- `OutboundQueue.enqueue` woke `drain` waiters with a `since=0`
  snapshot, replaying already-processed events into
  `Shade.acceptTransferEnvelope` → `manager.decrypt` twice. The
  duplicate consumed an already-used skipped key and corrupted the
  Double Ratchet receive chain.

- `ratchetDecrypt` then propagated the corruption: a same-DH
  message behind the chain with no cached skipped key fell through
  to `kdfChainKey` on the ahead state and rewound `chain.counter`,
  permanently desyncing the chain.

Fix `OutboundQueue` to honor each waiter's `since`, and harden
`ratchetDecrypt` so any future duplicate fails cleanly without
mutating state. Adds regression coverage at all three layers.

@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),
});
