- Projections stay in sync without re-querying the store.
- Ephemeral events (kinds 20000-29999) emit without being persisted.
- `EventStoreProjection` turns the change stream into a cold `Flow` of sealed `ProjectionState`.

## Crypto and Performance

- Custom secp256k1 implementation, starting to replace `fr.acinq.secp256k1`
- Pure-Kotlin core for KMP native targets (macOS / iOS / Linux).
- C + inline-ASM accelerated path on Android via a JNI bridge.
- Hardware SHA-256 (SHA-NI on x86_64, ARMv8 CE on ARM64).
- Comb method for G multiplication → 3× faster sign/keygen.
- Same-pubkey batch Schnorr verify (5–6× throughput).
- `verifySchnorrFast` for Nostr (skips y-parity inversion).
- 4×64-bit limb representation with lazy field ops and ARM64 assembly.
- Standalone `libsecp256k1-nostr` / `libschnorr256k1` C project, with Android benchmarks.
- Concurrent caching DNS resolver (SurgeDns)
- Lock-free DNS cache.
- 24h positive TTL.
- Stale-while-revalidate.
- Persisted across process restarts.
- Smoother video playback
- Warm ExoPlayer pool and retained warm players.
- Tuned LoadControl.
- VideoCache warmup 10s → 1.5s.
- Stable controller-overlay tree.

- Faster chat lists — stable list keys and reduced recomposition
- Faster note rendering — cached event-derived values, fewer per-item allocations during feed scroll
- Faster Quartz queries
- Direct-slot driver for replaceable + addressable lookups.
- Streaming k-way merge.
- Smallest-first FTS intersect.
- Parallel Schnorr verify in the ingest queue.
- Index-driven fan-out for cache observers.
- Faster rich-text translation
- Thumbnail disk cache for profile pictures; Coil disk-cache eviction moved off the write path to prevent scroll stalls
- Paginated GiftWrap loading for the DM chat list
- Bookmark events preloaded for faster access
- Lifecycle-aware screen subscriptions
- Feed/screen relay subscriptions pause on background and resume on foreground.
- 30s grace delay so brief app switches don't churn subscriptions.
- Adaptive video disk cache — sized to 20% of free disk (256 MB–4 GB) instead of a fixed 1 GB, with on-demand HLS videos cached in SimpleCache
- Tuned image/video OkHttp dispatcher and connection pool (16 in-flight per host) to de-serialize feed loading
- Streaming image hashing — computes image hashes without loading the whole file into memory; SHA-256 hasher moved off the thread pool
- GeoHash library rewritten from scratch for performance, dropping an external dependency

## QUIC + nestsClient (foundation)
