The friends-only presence listener (W7) must answer pings while the app is
open, whether or not we're in a call — but a node id has exactly one live
endpoint instance (proven by the dual-endpoint spike: two endpoints sharing a
SecretKey collide, all inbound connections land on one and the other's ALPN
fails the QUIC handshake). So the listener can't get its own endpoint; the
whole app must share one persistent endpoint. Today the core rebuilds the
endpoint+gossip+router on every Join and tears them down on leave, so there's
nothing alive between calls.
B1 hoists those durable pieces to the app lifetime (no new behavior):
- New persistent `NetStack` (endpoint + gossip + Router) built once at startup
under the RelayNoDiscovery default (relay reachability, no DNS beacon);
`online()` is backgrounded so launch isn't blocked.
- New persistent `AudioRouter` (src/network/iroh_impl.rs) replaces the
per-session `AudioProtocol`: it's registered once on the single Router and
delegates each inbound audio connection to whatever session `Shared` is bound
(`bind` on join, `clear` on leave), dropping links when idle. `IrohTransport::
new` now returns just `Self`.
- Join reuses `net.endpoint`/`net.gossip` and only subscribes its gossip topic +
binds the audio router; Leave clears the router but keeps the endpoint up.
- `SetNetworkMode`/`RegenerateIdentity` rebuild the stack immediately when idle,
else defer to the next Leave/Join (preserves "applies on next join"), and the
existing session is always torn down before any rebuild closes the endpoint.
Tests/loopback updated for the new transport API. 256 lib + 6 reconnect + 4
loopback + 2 ignored real-endpoint tests green, clippy --all-targets clean,
release builds. NOT yet 2-machine field-verified — that regression is the gate
before this merges to main.

Flagged by the 2026-06-15 Codex/GPT-5.5 review (backlog A20): the header
contradicted the per-phase statuses showing P1-P3 done + P4 partial. Now reads
'IN PROGRESS' with the current phase rollup.

Desktop<->dopedart on c5df7a3: persistent identity stable across restarts,
two-way audio regression clean, member-issued ticket lets a room outlive its
creator (desktop rejoins via dopedart's ticket after leaving), friends-add
persists. dopedart resynced to c5df7a3. Clears the P3 field-test.

Record the persistent-identity foundation as landed (d157d78) and add the
user's requirement: surface a persistent UI warning (not just a log) when the
key can't be read/written, since running on an ephemeral fallback silently
breaks friend recognition next launch. To build with the regenerate UI slice.

Rewrite the plan around the model converged in the 2026-06-15 design
session. Core shift: the friends list (stable node IDs) is the durable
anchor; rooms become ephemeral cosmetic labels, not addressable places.
Locked: persistent identity default-on + Settings regenerate; friends-only
idle listener (answers pings only from friends via remote_id, from a saved
address, no presence beacon); presence axis invisible/normal/discoverable
with discovery opt-in default-off and asymmetric (only the friend who moves
networks publishes); silent gossip-driven address auto-heal; and a universal
floor of hand-shared member-issued tickets that always connect.
Supersedes the heavyweight control-plane cut and the room-centric durable-room
cut; both retained at the bottom with reasons. ~3-4 sessions, build order
P1 identity -> P7 security/field-test. iroh does not force rolling IDs.

Pivot the contacts plan away from the heavyweight control-plane design
(always-on listener + persistent reachable identity + n0 DNS presence
beacon) toward a serverless, no-beacon spine: member-issued, multi-bootstrap
tickets. Any current member can mint a fresh ticket from their own live
address + the room's existing topic_id (both already in hand; join() already
takes extra_bootstrap: Vec), so rooms outlive their creator for ~no cost.
Layered optional add-ons: one-click invite sharing (peerspeak:// deep links
+ QR + .peerspeak files, delegating delivery to Signal/email/OS), persistent
identity (save-and-return), name-derived rooms, favorite-room bookmarks, and
a privacy-bounded silent occupancy peek. The old heavyweight path is retained
at the bottom of the doc as 'decided against', with the reasoning.

Bank the W7 investigation as a scope contract. Key finding: pixelpass's
friends/control/identity code ports near-verbatim (same iroh 1.0.0-rc.0),
but PeerSpeak's endpoint is room-scoped (built in Join, torn down on Leave)
with a fresh identity each launch — so the real work is a new always-on
control-plane endpoint + persistent identity, not the friends list. Phased
plan (0 identity / 1 control plane / 2 store+handshake / 3 drawer UI /
4 security+field-test), ~4 sessions, with 4 open decisions that block build
(discovery-vs-privacy being the big one).
