Avatar opened the profile popout whenever it received a user prop. Since user is how every avatar gets its gradient, colour and status dot, all 22 call sites became profile triggers by accident — including the picture inside the profile card itself, which re-anchored the card to that picture on every click and walked it across the screen (120px right, 36px down, until it pinned at the viewport clamp).
Avatar is now presentational. A new ProfileAvatar carries the open-the-profile behaviour at the five call sites that actually want it. The card's own picture escalates to the full profile modal instead of reopening the card.
The card also places itself off its measured size via the shared computeFloatingPosition engine, replacing six call sites that each hand-computed coordinates against a guessed 460px card height.
Closes#37
Fixes a render bug where a federated user (e.g. axel@nova) appeared with
the federation globe icon and a broken avatar when viewed on his own home
instance. Root cause: `populateFromReady` is first-wins by federatedId and
discards the entire skipped DM payload — including its `members` array —
so when a sibling instance's ready arrived first, the home instance's view
of every shared user was dropped on the floor.
Adds a render-only `userViews` cache that mirrors the `dmAlternatives`
philosophy: information from skipped ready payloads is preserved for
rendering. Every wire surface that delivers a User upserts into the cache
regardless of dedup outcome; render sites read through a Zustand selector
hook to surface the home view when one is loaded. The DM channel ingestion
race is left untouched — the existing no-flapping invariant on origin
reconnect is intentional and load-bearing for failover.
Layered changes:
- `identity.ts`: `normalizeOriginToHost`, `canonicalUserKey`,
`isDeliveryFromHome`, `isFederationGlobeApplicable` — single helpers
for origin/host normalization and the home/stub tier decision.
- `spaceStore.ts`: `userViews` Map, `UserViewEntry` type, `upsertUserView`
action with the home-wins preference rule, prune by `deliveredBy` in
`removeInstanceSpaces` (mirrors `dmAlternatives` cleanup), `reset`
clears.
- `userViewLookup.ts`: `useCanonicalUserView` (Zustand selector hook for
React) + `getCanonicalUserView` (sync getter for non-React paths).
Render reactivity is structural via the selector, not coincidence on
legacy update paths.
- `populateFromReady` upsert pass runs BEFORE the federatedId dedup so
members of skipped DMs still reach the cache.
- WS handlers (dm_message_*, message_*, user_updated, member_joined,
friend_request_*, dm_channel_created, dm_member_added) and REST
hydrators (socialStore, discoverStore, mutuals) feed the cache with
their delivering origin.
- Render-site routing through `useCanonicalUserView` at every audited
user-rendering site (sidebar, header, search, message bubble, reply
chips, profile popout/modal, group settings, voice tiles, mention
chips, member lists, friends, invites). Self-rendering sites compose
alongside via existing `isSelf`/`resolveDisplayIdentity`.
- Globe predicate hoisted to `isFederationGlobeApplicable` and applied
at three sites, gating on `domain !== window.location.host` so we
never show the globe for users whose home IS our own.
Tests: 31 new unit tests across `identity`, `userViews` store, and
`userViewLookup`. Full suite 276/276.
Docs: `client-federation.md` §3 gains a "User View Cache" section
parallel to "DM Origin Failover"; `dm-system.md` notes the new store
action and WS handler upserts.
Bug 3 (federation profile-sync gap — orbit's stale profile data on
nova-Axel after a clear/color-change on nova never propagated)
remains open. The user-view cache routes around it for the common case
(home instance is connected), but the underlying S2S relay gap is its
own diagnosis and follows in a separate branch.
- Add MarkdownRenderer with syntax-highlighted code blocks (prism-react-renderer),
GFM tables, and Discord-style theming
- Add MentionBadge that resolves user IDs to display names with role colors
- Add MentionPopover autocomplete triggered by @ in MessageInput
- Fix mention:// URL sanitization — allowlist the scheme in urlTransform so
react-markdown v9 passes it through to the component override
- Highlight messages that mention the current user (amber border)
- Bump rate limit from 60 to 200 req/min
