The swipe handler is created with rememberDismissState, whose lambda is frozen
at first composition and captures a stale cItem. When a message is marked
deleted while on screen, that lambda still sees the pre-deletion item, so an
in-lambda itemDeleted check is bypassed and the quote is set, producing
SEInvalidQuote on send. Disable the swipe modifier (recomputed live each
recomposition) when itemDeleted != null so the gesture is removed entirely.
* android, desktop: fix video preview expanding into empty black area
The video message box (CHAT_IMAGE_LAYOUT_ID) never gave itself a definite
height - it took the height of its tallest child. That child is the player
surface, which has no stable intrinsic height until playback starts: on
Android an unprepared StyledPlayerView reports no video size, so its
AspectRatioFrameLayout (RESIZE_MODE_FIXED_WIDTH, aspect 0) does not shrink.
Before #6726 this was masked: the box was measured with unbounded height, so
the surface collapsed to 0. #6726 bounded the box to 2.33x width to constrain
tall images, and the unprepared surface then expanded to fill that height,
showing as a long empty black strip below the preview once a video downloads.
Give the box a definite size from the preview aspect ratio, mirroring
CIImageView. Height follows the measured (clamped) width via Modifier.layout
so wide videos on narrow screens don't leave an empty strip (the #7223 fix).
* plans: justify video preview black-area fix
* android, desktop: remove stray card dividers in server info, connect-to-desktop, appearance and migration screens
PR #6777 turned these into card screens, where SectionView draws a 2dp near-black divider between every direct child, but left content patterns that pre-date the card chrome: nested SectionViews (SMP/XFTP server detail), loose Text + Spacer + Text (connect-to-desktop device name and version), and a SectionDividerSpaced() as a middle child (Appearance with an image wallpaper, migrate-from-device "error stopping chat"). Each draws stray lines inside the card, most visible in dark/black themes.
Restructure to the sibling pattern already used by DetailedSMPStatsLayout: un-nest the server-detail sub-sections (address its own card, stats/subs/sessions as siblings; subscription rows carded), wrap each device name/version block in a single Column, and drop the in-card spacers (the adjacent-row auto-divider already separates them). Layout-only; iOS is a separate codebase and is unaffected.
* docs: add plan justifying removing stray card section dividers
* desktop: fix pointer cursor not changing to hand over clickable commands (dropped hover events)

* multiplatform: fix command clicks lost on quick successive clicks (serialize gesture press scope, don't restart pointerInput on recomposition)
* plans: document lost-click defect (press-scope race, pointerInput restart) and fixes
* multiplatform: don't cancel command click when chat list shifts under the pointer
A press is cancelled when it goes out of the node's bounds, but when a sent
message inserts into the chat the node moves out from under a stationary
pointer, which is not a drag-away. Exempt out-of-bounds cancellation when the
pointer did not move in window coordinates (within touch slop).
* multiplatform: stop pointer handler resets on chat item recomposition (lost clicks, cursor flicker)
bigTouchSlop() created a new ViewConfiguration instance on every recomposition
of every chat item; pointer input nodes observe ViewConfiguration and reset
their handler when it changes, so each inserted message killed all in-flight
presses (lost command clicks) and hover handlers (hand cursor flicker) in the
viewport. Provide a remembered instance instead.
* plans: document list-shift press cancellation and ViewConfiguration reset defects
* desktop: remove imperative hover cursor workaround, superseded by ViewConfiguration fix
The evidence that the declarative path was insufficient was gathered while
every message insertion was resetting all hover handlers (the ViewConfiguration
identity defect, fixed in 6d24bd5d4) — which alone explains those failures.
With handlers stable, the full hover matrix passes on pointerHoverIcon plus the
lossless detectCursorMove alone, so the AWT canvas write and its expect/actuals
are removed; only the icon state reset on Exit remains.
* plans: document hover workaround removal and stage-1 evidence contamination
The desktop app polled full clipboard contents every second on the AWT
event thread to update ChatModel.clipboardHasText. On X11, each read
blocks up to sun.awt.datatransfer.timeout (10s) when the selection owner
does not respond (e.g. after KeePassXC's clipboard auto-clear), making
every click/scroll wait ~9s. clipboardHasText has had no readers since
its only consumer was removed in #4398, so the whole mechanism (desktop
poll, Android clip listener, onResume refresh, expect/actual, state
field) is deleted. See plans/2026-07-11-fix-desktop-clipboard-freeze.md.
* android, desktop: save draft when switching to chat where user cannot send messages
On desktop, chat and chatId change in the same recomposition when another
chat is opened from the always-visible chat list. The effect clearing
compose state of a non-sendable chat (observer, channel subscriber,
review by admins) was composed before the draft-saving KeyChangeEffect
and ran first, wiping the live compose state before it could be saved
and then clearing the previously saved draft via clearPrevDraft.
Effects launch in composition order, so the clearing effect is moved
after KeyChangeEffect: the previous chat's draft is saved first, and
clearCurrentDraft is a no-op for it because draftChatId no longer
matches the opened chat. Clearing the opened chat's own draft when it
cannot send is preserved, as is clearing when the open chat itself
becomes non-sendable (only the sendMsgEnabled key changes).
* plans: investigation and justification for draft message loss fix
Surface the XFTP servers that hosted a file's chunks in the message info
screen (Android, desktop, iOS), so a user can see which servers they are
downloading from (or, for sent files, uploading to) whenever they want to know.
APIGetChatItemInfo now returns fileXftpServers, derived from the stored file
description (private snd descr for sent items, rcv descr for received items);
extraction is best-effort and never fails the call.

On an incoming call the desktop window blinked continuously (FileNotFoundException
from SoundPlayer.start writing into a missing ...\Temp\simplex).
Root cause: Files.desktop top-level val initializers run in any process that
touches the facade class, including a transient second instance (which reaches
acquireSingleInstance -> dataDir). Two of them deleted shared state used by the
running primary:
- tmpDir had .also { deleteOnExit() } - the second instance's normal exit deleted
...\Temp\simplex, so the primary then failed to write call sounds/recordings.
- preferencesTmpDir had .also { deleteRecursively() } - the second instance's
<clinit> wiped configPath\tmp (same anti-pattern, firing even earlier).
Make both declarations pure and do the destructive cleanup in Main, past the
single-instance check, so only the owning instance performs it (preferencesTmpDir
kept early, before any settings write). The remaining val-initializer side effects
are idempotent creations (mkdirs) that destroy nothing and are left in place.
Wide images size their preview box with a fixed width of DEFAULT_MAX_IMAGE_WIDTH
(500dp). #7125 switched the box from .aspectRatio() to a fixed .height() computed
from that nominal width; on screens narrower than 500dp, .width(500dp) is clamped
to the available width but the fixed height is not, so the top-aligned FillWidth
image is shorter than its box, leaving an empty strip below.
Compute the height from the width actually granted via a small Modifier.layout so
it tracks the clamped width, restoring the self-correcting behaviour .aspectRatio()
had. coerceAtMost(w) keeps the box within its nominal width (and bounds the
unbounded intrinsic-measurement pass), and coerceAtLeast(0) mirrors what
Modifier.width()'s SizeNode does for a negative w on a tiny window - so both
dimensions stay in range and the #7123 Constraints overflow crash cannot recur.

getLoadedImage subsampled with an OR cap on the larger side, so tall
images (e.g. phone screenshots) were reduced far below the display size
and rendered blurry. Mirror Android's calculateInSampleSize (keep the
smaller side at the target) so previews stay sharp, and add a decoded-
pixel ceiling so extreme aspect ratios can't blow up decode memory.
