Broadcast user_updated events over WebSocket when profile fields change,
updating members, DM participants, friends, and cached messages in real time.
Widen useVoiceParticipantMeta to return the full user object and add a
standalone avatarColor prop to Avatar so all ~16 callsites now resolve
the user's chosen gradient color instead of falling back to hash-based colors.
Rewrites socialStore to aggregate friends and requests from all connected
instances using Promise.allSettled. Parses user@domain in friend requests
to route to the correct instance. Removes !isHome guards on social WS
events so remote friend requests arrive in real-time. Shows "via hostname"
labels on remote friends/requests in the UI.
- Add Backspace-design-prototype.html: finalized "Aether Drift" design
language with warm matte surfaces and subtle frosted glass accents
- Update CLAUDE.md with DESIGN SYSTEM section and remove Discord clone references
- Rename all Opencord references to Backspace across the full codebase
- Archive outdated design experiments and Discord-specific assets

Wrap all multi-write DB operations in atomic transactions (server/channel
creation, message+attachment linking, DM creation, friend acceptance,
cascading deletes) to prevent partial-write corruption.
Batch N+1 queries in WS ready payload into O(1) bulk fetches with
chunked inArray() to respect SQLite's variable limit.
Fix chat history regression where background WS messages bypassed
channel load by switching the guard from messages.has() to hasMore.has().
Add LRU channel eviction (20 cached, evict to 15) and per-channel
message cap (200) to bound client memory growth.
Shorten WS heartbeat from 30s to 15s for aggressive proxy/NAT
environments. Clear all user-scoped stores on logout to prevent
cross-session data leaks.
Extract LiveKit internal accessors into shared livekitInternals utility.

rollback on failure, temp message deduplication on WS echo
- Channel CRUD broadcasts to all server members
- Server update broadcast on PATCH
- Server join registers user in connectionManager immediately
- Reconnect: only reload current channel, preserve other channel caches
- Activity panel, right panel, member list toggle components
Phase 1 - Feature Repair:
- Fix member kick/leave: add missing db.delete() call in servers.ts

- Wire DM button on FriendsPage to create/navigate to DM channels
- Add cancel outgoing friend request (DELETE endpoint + frontend)
- Add accept/decline friend request actions with WS real-time events

- Add joinByCode to API client and serverStore
- Add friend_request_received/accepted WebSocket events
Phase 2 - Discord UI Overhaul:
- Remove stray borders between layout columns
- Replace shadow-sm with shadow-header on content headers
- Replace all bg-gray-*/text-gray-* with Discord color tokens
- Ensure flat color contrast (#1E1F22, #2B2D31, #313338)
Testing:
- Set up vitest + @testing-library/react + jsdom
- Add 17 tests across InviteModal, JoinServer, FriendsPage (all passing)
- Fix vite resolve.extensions to prefer .tsx over stale .js files
