Changes
Changed
- Added the application-owned FIPS Nostr-relay carrier to desktop, mobile, and
headless endpoints as a priority-250 fallback for explicit roster and approval peers. Direct UDP, TCP, and WebRTC links remain application-owned and independently active.
- Updated the embedded FIPS Core and Endpoint crates from 0.4.4 to exact
published 0.4.5 for bounded TCP/Tor FSP record framing, deterministic simultaneous stream convergence, endpoint send-receipt correlation, and tree-dependent Bloom-filter convergence. FMP, FSP, discovery, and the application-owned UDP roster path are unchanged.
Fixed
- Restored the Windows all-target build by correctly scoping Unix-only tests
and helpers.
- Made the native WebVM approval harness retry the complete routed event batch
while awaiting the durable apply receipt, matching the daemon when a FIPS route is replaced between approval records.
- Kept the macOS QR scanner buildable with the release workflow's Xcode 15.4
toolchain while retaining the macOS 26 Cinematic Video crash safeguard.
