    nirc-rs is a TUI (terminal user interface) chat client that places you in control of your data and communications. Inspired by naim, it consolidates eight chat protocols into a single terminal interface — no web browsers, no Electron, no JavaScript.

+# nirc-rs 0.9.0
+
+I just released nirc-rs 0.9.0 — a multi-protocol terminal chat client I wrote in Rust. It runs entirely in your terminal and puts eight chat protocols behind a single interface. No web browsers, no Electron, no JavaScript runtime. Just a binary and a terminal.
+
+## Why I Built It
+
+nirc-rs descends from naim, the terminal AIM/ICQ/IRC client from the late 1990s. naim had a simple idea: one terminal window, all your chat networks, zero graphical dependencies. I liked that idea, but the world moved on. naim's codebase stayed stuck in C89, its protocol support stopped at IRC and the now-defunct AIM/ICQ, and it couldn't handle TLS, E2EE, or modern protocols like Matrix and Discord.
+
+I wanted that same experience back — a TUI client that treats every protocol as a first-class citizen — but built on modern foundations. Rust for memory safety and async I/O. ratatui for the terminal UI. rustls for TLS without OpenSSL. libp2p for peer-to-peer. The result is roughly 10,000 lines across 27 source files.
+
+## Architecture
+
+nirc-rs is structured around a multi-protocol dispatcher. Each protocol (IRC, ADC/DC++, Matrix, Discord, Stout, Spacebar, Nerimity, BitChat) implements a common trait and feeds messages into a unified ChatMessage type. The TUI layer doesn't care which protocol a message came from — it renders it the same way, with color-coded timestamps and protocol badges.
+
+The async runtime is tokio with multi-threaded scheduling. File transfers run over yamux-multiplexed streams with 256 KiB buffers and in-flight SHA-256 verification. The identity vault uses AES-256-GCM encryption with Argon2id key derivation. Matrix's megolm E2EE runs on a dedicated OS thread because the matrix-sdk crypto types aren't Send — a necessary compromise that I handle transparently.
+
+## What's New in 0.9.0
+
+This release focused on navigation and discoverability. I added Ctrl-P (previous buffer), Ctrl-A (next active buffer), and Ctrl-Z (highlight word cycling) for faster window management. The Insert key now scrolls to the bottom of chat and re-enables auto-scroll.
+
+The biggest UI change is the F1 dropdown menu. It provides a visual, navigable command tree. If you can't remember whether it's /whois or /wi, press F1 and find it. This replaced the old debug console binding, which I'm reassigning in a future patch.
+
+The transfer ticker now shows real-time speed and ETA in the footer bar, so you don't need to toggle a separate panel to see how your file transfers are progressing. I also fixed /nick to update all tab titles immediately and added the local IP address to the status bar.
+
+## The Tested Frontier: IRC and ADC/DC++
+
+Two protocols are battle-tested in 0.9.0: IRC and ADC/DC++.
+
+IRC has full TLS support via rustls, SASL PLAIN authentication, CTCP auto-response, ISUPPORT negotiation, and operator commands. It connects to Libera, OFTC, and other networks without issue. ADC/DC++ connects to hubs, performs the HSUP/HSID/INF handshake, supports hub search, and handles file transfers with the full yamux-multiplexed pipeline. ADC also has a varnish-style security guard pipeline that does rate limiting, IP validation, SSRF prevention, and path traversal blocking.
+
+## The Untested Frontier
+
+Six protocols are fully implemented but haven't been tested against live servers yet: Matrix (with megolm E2EE via matrix-sdk 0.18), Discord (Gateway WebSocket), Stout and Spacebar (Revolt-compatible forks), Nerimity (a custom platform), and BitChat (P2P over libp2p with mDNS discovery and gossipsub).
+
+These aren't stubs — they're complete protocol handlers with connection management, message parsing, event dispatch, and TUI integration. They just need to be pointed at a real server to verify the wire protocol matches reality. That's the top priority for the next release cycle.
+
+## Security
+
+nirc-rs never phones home. There's no telemetry, no analytics, no update checker. The identity vault encrypts credentials with AES-256-GCM and Argon2id (64 MiB memory, 3 iterations), and keys are zeroed from RAM on lock via the zeroize crate. ADC connections go through a guard pipeline that rejects private IPs, blocks path traversal, and prevents SSRF. TLS is handled by rustls with the webpki-roots CA bundle — no system OpenSSL needed.
+
+## Build It
+
+```sh
+git clone https://git.dcos.net/dcosnet/nirc-rs.git
+cd nirc-rs
+cargo build --release
+./target/release/nirc-rs
+```
+
+One binary, no runtime dependencies beyond your terminal emulator. Config lives at ~/.nirc/config.toml and is created automatically on first run.
+
+## What's Next
+
+The roadmap for 0.10.0 and beyond is straightforward: test the six untested protocols, fix ADC CID generation to use proper Base32/Tiger hashes, integrate the transfer widget into the main draw loop, and add IRC SASL EXTERNAL with client certificates. I'm aiming for a 1.0.0 release once all eight protocols are verified against live servers and the plugin API has a stability guarantee.
+
+If you want to help test a protocol, write a plugin, or contribute a patch, the repository is at git.dcos.net/dcosnet/nirc-rs. It's GPL-3.0-or-later, and contributions are welcome.

+
+---
+
+The full text of the GNU General Public License v3 follows below.
+
+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misattribution of the material, or requiring that
+    modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as
+    different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
+CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
+ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
+NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
+SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
+WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
+ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.

+# nirc-rs Quick Start Guide
+
+Get connected in under five minutes.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Rust** 1.75 or newer — install via [rustup](https://rustup.rs/):
+  ```sh
+  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
+  source $HOME/.cargo/env
+  ```
+- **A C compiler** (gcc, clang, or cc) — required by some transitive build dependencies
+- **TLS libraries:** nirc-rs uses `tokio-rustls` with the `webpki-roots` CA bundle. **No system OpenSSL is required.** Everything is statically linked.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+### Build from source
+
+```sh
+git clone https://git.dcos.net/dcosnet/nirc-rs.git
+cd nirc-rs
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+The compiled binary is at `target/release/nirc-rs`. Copy it somewhere on your PATH:
+
+```sh
+cp target/release/nirc-rs ~/.local/bin/
+```
+
+### Install via cargo
+
+```sh
+cargo install nirc-rs
+```
+
+---
+
+## First Run
+
+Launch nirc-rs with no arguments. It creates `~/.nirc/config.toml` with sensible defaults and opens the TUI:
+
+```sh
+nirc-rs
+```
+
+You'll see a single **Status** tab. The input bar at the bottom is where you type messages and commands. All commands begin with `/`.
+
+---
+
+## Connecting to IRC
+
+### Quick connect
+
+The fastest way to start chatting — connect to Libera Chat over TLS:
+
+```
+/connect irc irc.libera.chat:6697
+```
+
+Wait a moment for the connection to establish (check the status bar). Then join a channel:
+
+```
+/join #rust
+```
+
+A new tab appears for `#rust`. Start typing to send messages.
+
+### SASL authentication
+
+Many IRC networks (including Libera) require or strongly prefer SASL for registered users. Configure it in `~/.nirc/config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[global]
+nickname = "yournick"
+realname = "Your Name"
+log_level = "info"
+auto_connect = ["libera"]
+
+[[servers]]
+name = "libera"
+protocol = "irc"
+address = "irc.libera.chat:6697"
+tls = true
+auto_join = ["#rust", "#nirc"]
+
+[servers.extra]
+sasl_mechanism = "plain"
+sasl_username = "your-registered-nick"
+sasl_password = "your-account-password"
+```
+
+With `auto_connect` set, nirc-rs connects and joins channels automatically on every startup.
+
+### Basic IRC commands
+
+| Command | Description | Alias |
+|---------|-------------|-------|
+| `/join #channel` | Join a channel | `/j` |
+| `/part` | Leave the current channel | `/close` |
+| `/msg nick hello` | Open a private message | `/m` |
+| `/me dances` | Send an action (`* yournick dances`) | — |
+| `/names` | List users in the current channel | — |
+| `/topic` | Show the channel topic | — |
+| `/topic New topic` | Set the channel topic (requires ops) | — |
+| `/whois nick` | Look up user information | `/wi` |
+| `/nick newnick` | Change your nickname | — |
+| `/away [msg]` | Set or clear away status | — |
+| `/notice nick msg` | Send a notice | — |
+| `/ctcp nick VERSION` | Send a CTCP request | — |
+| `/raw PING :test` | Send a raw IRC line | `/quote` |
+
+---
+
+## Connecting to ADC/DC++
+
+### Quick connect
+
+```
+/connect adc hub.example.com:2780
+```
+
+### Configured connection
+
+```toml
+[[servers]]
+name = "adc-hub"
+protocol = "adc"
+address = "hub.example.com:2780"
+tls = false
+auto_join = []
+```
+
+Then connect with:
+
+```
+/connect adc adc-hub
+```
+
+ADC hubs use a different addressing scheme than IRC. Once connected, you can search for files and browse user listings.
+
+---
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Sending messages
+
+Type in the input bar and press `Enter`. In a channel, the message goes to everyone. In a query (private message) window, it goes to that user.
+
+### Changing your nickname
+
+```
+/nick newnick
+```
+
+The tab title and status bar update immediately to reflect your new nick.
+
+### Joining and leaving channels
+
+```
+/join #channel    # join
+/part             # leave the current channel
+/join #chan1,#chan2  # join multiple channels (IRC)
+```
+
+### Switching between windows
+
+- `Home` / `End` — cycle through previous / next window
+- `Ctrl-N` — jump to the next window with unread messages
+- `Ctrl-B` — jump back to the previously active window
+- `Ctrl-P` — go to previous buffer
+- `Ctrl-A` — go to next active buffer
+- `Tab` — if input is empty, cycles to the next window
+- `F4` — toggle the window list sidebar
+
+### Scrolling
+
+- `PgUp` / `PgDn` — scroll through chat history
+- `PgUp` locks the view (new messages won't auto-scroll)
+- `Insert` — scroll to the bottom and re-enable auto-scroll
+
+---

+## File Transfers
+
+### Sending a file
+
+```
+/sendfile nick /path/to/file.pdf

+
+```
+/xfer irc nick /path/to/file.pdf
+```
+
+### Receiving a file
+
+When someone sends you a file, you'll see a notification. Accept it:
+
+```
+/acceptfile <transfer-id> ~/downloads/
+```
+
+### Monitoring transfers
+
+```
+/transfers
+```
+
+The footer bar also shows a **transfer ticker** with real-time speed and ETA for active transfers.
+
+Transfers support:
+- **Resume** — interrupted downloads resume from the last byte
+- **SHA-256 verification** — hash verified in-flight during transfer
+- **Cancellation** — cancel anytime without corruption

+
+## Encrypted Identity Vault
+
+Store credentials securely in an AES-256-GCM encrypted vault:
+
+```
+/vault create your-password-here
+/vault unlock your-password-here
+/vault add libera irc nick=yournick;pass=xxx
+/vault list
+/vault lock
+```
+
+The vault file is at `~/.nirc/vault.json`. Keys are wiped from RAM on lock.
+
+---
+

+
+```
+[12:34:56] <alice> hello world
+[12:34:58] * bob waves
+[12:35:00] -services- you are now identified
+```
+
+Files rotate at 10 MiB, keeping 3 rotated copies.

+# nirc-rs
+
+A multi-protocol terminal chat client written in Rust.
+
+![screenshot](./nirc-rs.png)
+
+Design Philosophy
+
+nirc-rs is built on a single conviction: your communications deserve a client that treats the terminal as a first-class interface, not an afterthought. Every design decision — from the naim-derived 8-color palette system to the yamux-multiplexed file transfer pipeline — is deliberate. The client consolidates eight chat protocols into one unified, keyboard-driven interface with zero browser dependencies, zero Electron overhead, and zero JavaScript runtimes.
+
+The architecture follows a layered design: protocol adapters at the bottom, an asynchronous event dispatcher in the middle, and a ratatui-based presentation layer on top. This separation means adding a new protocol requires implementing a single adapter trait — the rest of the system (tabs, logging, theming, file transfers, the menu bar) adapts automatically.
+
+**Version:** 0.9.0
+**License:** GPL-3.0-or-later
+**Author:** Jeremy Anderson — dcos.net
+**Repository:** https://git.dcos.net/dcosnet/nirc-rs
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+nirc-rs is structured around four co-operating subsystems that communicate through typed channels:
+
+| Subsystem | Responsibility |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| **Protocol adapters** | One module per protocol (`irc.rs`, `matrix.rs`, `adc.rs`, etc.), each speaking its native wire format and translating to and from the internal `ChatMessage` type |
+| **Engine** | The async runtime core — `Dispatcher` routes incoming events to the correct tab, `NotifyEngine` handles desktop notifications with debouncing and urgency levels, `Vault` encrypts credentials at rest |
+| **Core** | `App` manages the tab model (per-tab input, command history, scroll state, unread counts), `Command` is the exhaustive enum of every slash-command the client recognizes, `VarStore` provides user-defined variables, aliases, and key bindings with `$1`/`$*` template expansion |
+| **TUI** | The presentation layer — `NaimPalette` maps the classic naim 8-color system (c00–c14) to ratatui `Style` objects, `ChatView` renders messages with per-protocol timestamp coloring, `WinlistWidget` provides the side-panel window navigator, and `MenuBarState` implements the F1 dropdown menu with `__prompt:` prefix conventions for commands that need user input |
+
+Every protocol receives a three-character tag, a single-character badge, and a dedicated `NaimColor` for instant visual identification in the window list and status bar — by design, not by coincidence.
+
+---
+
+## Protocols
+
+nirc-rs implements protocol adapters as discrete, isolated modules. Each adapter handles connection lifecycle, event parsing, and outbound message formatting independently. The dispatcher presents a uniform interface to the UI layer, so a message from IRC and a message from Matrix are indistinguishable once they reach your screen.
+
+| Protocol | Status | Transport | Adapter Details |
+|----------|--------|-----------|-----------------|
+| **IRC** | Production | TLS (6697) / plaintext | SASL PLAIN authentication, CTCP auto-response (VERSION), ISUPPORT capability negotiation, full operator command set (`/oper`, `/kill`, `/kline`, `/wallops`), channel mode management, `/raw` for arbitrary protocol lines |
+| **ADC/DC++** | Production | TLS / plaintext | HSUP→ISID→BINF handshake sequence, hub search via SCH, file transfers over yamux-multiplexed streams with in-flight SHA-256 verification, security pipeline (rate limiting, IP validation, SSRF prevention, path traversal blocking) |
+| **Matrix** | Implemented | HTTPS (matrix-sdk 0.18) | Megolm E2EE with SQLite crypto store, dedicated OS thread for non-Send crypto types, room creation/invitation/reaction/reply, SAS device verification, session persistence via token storage |
+| **Discord** | Implemented | WebSocket (wss) | Gateway event subscription, REST API integration, guild join/leave/members |
+| **Stout** | Implemented | WebSocket (wss) | Revolt-compatible fork, REST + WebSocket client |
+| **Spacebar** | Implemented | WebSocket (wss) | Revolt fork variant, independent REST + WebSocket adapter |
+| **Nerimity** | Implemented | WebSocket (wss) | Custom platform with dedicated REST + WebSocket adapter |
+| **BitChat** | Implemented | libp2p (TCP) | P2P messaging via noise protocol, mDNS peer discovery, gossipsub pub/sub, request-response file transfer |
+
+Protocol-specific commands are namespaced under their protocol prefix (`/matrix …`, `/adc …`, `/discord …`, `/bitchat …`) so the command surface stays organized and composable regardless of how many protocols are active simultaneously.
+
+---
+
+## Terminal Interface
+
+The TUI is built on ratatui 0.29 with crossterm 0.28 for terminal abstraction. The layout follows the established naim model: a dominant chat area, a single-line status bar at the top, and a single-line input bar at the bottom — because that arrangement has proven over two decades to be the most efficient use of vertical screen real estate for text communication.
+
+### Color System
+
+Colors are managed through `NaimPalette`, a 15-field struct that maps directly to naim's `c00`–`c14` configuration indices. Three foreground tiers (event, text, self/buddy), six buddy states (normal, idle, away, offline, waiting), and six background categories (input, window list, window list highlight, connection panel, chat window, status bar) are each assigned an 8-color `NaimColor` value. Four theme presets (Naim, Freesbie, Dark, Solarized) ship with the client, and every individual color field can be overridden in `config.toml`.
+
+### Window Management
+
+Windows are first-class objects in the tab model. Each window carries its own message buffer, input line, cursor position, command history, scroll offset, and unread counter. The `TabTier` priority system (`Unread > Conversed > Inert`) orders windows for `Ctrl-N` navigation so you always land on the most relevant unread conversation first — not the next tab in insertion order.
+
+The window list (`F4` to cycle through Auto/Visible/Hidden) displays protocol badges, per-window unread indicators, and highlights the active window. It occupies a fixed-width column on the right side of the chat area, overlapping rather than displacing message content — the same spatial model that made naim's window list usable on 80-column terminals.
+
+### Dropdown Menu Bar
+
+The F1 menu bar provides discoverable, mouse-free access to every command in the client. It follows the QBasic 4.5 / aptitude interaction model: arrow keys navigate headings and items, Enter dispatches, Escape closes. Menu items use two dispatch conventions: direct commands (the action string is the exact `/command`) and prompt mode (a `__prompt:` prefix pre-fills the input bar with the command skeleton so you can provide the required arguments and press Enter). This dual convention means the menu can safely dispatch stateless actions immediately while gracefully deferring commands that need user input — no modal dialogs, no interruptions to flow.
+
+### Input Handling
+
+The input bar supports UTF-8-safe cursor movement and deletion (Backspace respects character boundaries, not byte offsets), bracket paste insertion (pasted text lands at the cursor position, not appended), and per-tab command history navigated with Up/Down arrows. Tab completion cycles through nicknames and commands; if the input line is empty, Tab advances to the next window instead.
+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+Security is implemented as a layered defense, not a single checkbox.
+
+### Transport Encryption
+
+All network connections default to TLS via rustls with webpki-roots. There is no fallback to plaintext unless explicitly configured — the `tls = false` flag exists for legacy networks that haven't deployed certificates, but the default path is encrypted end-to-end to the server.
+
+### Identity Vault
+
+Credentials are stored in an AES-256-GCM encrypted vault at `~/.nirc/vault.json`. The encryption key is derived from the user's master password using Argon2id (64 MiB memory cost, 3 iterations) to resist brute-force attacks even if the vault file is exfiltrated. The vault's `Drop` implementation zeroizes the in-memory key with the `zeroize` crate, ensuring credentials don't persist in swap or core dumps after the client exits. The salt is generated once at creation time and reused on every flush — generating a fresh salt per write would desynchronize it from the in-memory key, silently locking the user out of their own vault.
+
+### ADC Security Pipeline
+
+The ADC adapter implements a varnish-style guard pipeline that inspects every inbound connection and request:
+
+- **Rate limiting** — throttles connection attempts per source IP to prevent flooding
+- **IP validation** — rejects private-range (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and link-local addresses to prevent SSRF attacks where a malicious hub instructs the client to connect to internal services
+- **Path traversal blocking** — rejects file paths containing `..` sequences to prevent reading files outside the intended download directory
+
+### Memory Safety
+
+Rust's ownership model eliminates use-after-free, buffer overflows, and data races at compile time. Sensitive key material uses the `zeroize` derive macro to guarantee secure memory clearing. The `DashMap` concurrency primitive provides lock-free concurrent access to the transfer manager's state.
+
+---
+
+## File Transfers
+
+File transfers use a purpose-built wire protocol multiplexed over yamux, which allows multiple simultaneous transfers over a single TCP connection — avoiding the port-forwarding nightmare that plagued DCC file transfers in traditional IRC clients.
+
+### Wire Protocol
+
+Each transfer begins with a fixed header: 4-byte magic (`NAIM`), 2-byte version, flags byte, 8-byte file size, 8-byte resume offset, variable-length filename, and an optional 64-byte SHA-256 digest — all little-endian. This header is sent once; the payload stream follows immediately.
+
+### Transfer Pipeline
+
+- **I/O buffers** — 256 KiB buffers minimize syscalls and maximize throughput on both high-latency and high-bandwidth connections
+- **In-flight verification** — SHA-256 is computed during the transfer, not after, so a corrupted stream is detected the moment the last byte arrives rather than requiring a separate post-transfer pass
+- **Resume support** — interrupted transfers write to a `.partial` file and record the offset. On resume, the receiver sends the offset in the header, and the sender seeks to that position. On completion, the `.partial` file is atomically renamed to the final filename
+- **Size cap** — a 2 GiB maximum per file prevents resource exhaustion from malicious or misconfigured peers
+- **Cancellation** — each transfer carries a `tokio::CancellationToken` that immediately terminates the associated I/O task without waiting for the stream to drain
+
+### Transfer Ticker
+
+Active transfers are displayed in a rotating ticker in the status bar footer. The ticker cycles through transfers every few seconds, showing the filename, progress percentage, current speed, and estimated time remaining — providing at-a-glance awareness without dedicating screen space to a full transfer panel.
+
+---
+
+## Extensibility
+
+### Plugin System
+
+Plugins are loaded as `.so` shared libraries (Linux) or `.dylib` (macOS) from `~/.nirc/plugins/` at startup. Each plugin must expose a single C ABI factory function:
+
+```rust
+extern "C" fn nirc_plugin_create() -> *mut dyn nirc::plugins::Plugin;
+```
+
+The `Plugin` trait defines lifecycle hooks (`on_load`/`on_unload`), event hooks (`MessageReceived`, `PreCommand`, `PostCommand`, `ProtocolConnected`, `Shutdown`), and a custom command registration system. Plugins can consume events (preventing further processing), modify them, or emit responses. A built-in `UrlDetectorPlugin` demonstrates the hook system by scanning incoming messages for URLs.
+
+Plugin commands integrate directly into the client's command dispatcher — no separate namespace, no special prefix. If a plugin registers a command named `greet`, typing `/greet` dispatches to the plugin's `on_command` handler just like any built-in command.
+
+### Variables, Aliases, and Key Bindings
+
+The `VarStore` subsystem provides three intertwined extensibility mechanisms:
+
+- **Variables** (`/set`, `/get`) — string key-value pairs expandable as `$name` or `${name}` in any command or message text
+- **Aliases** (`/alias`, `/unalias`) — named command templates with positional argument substitution (`$1`, `$2`, ..., `$*` for all args). An alias defined as `/alias hi /msg $1 hello $2` expands `/hi alice there` to `/msg alice hello there`
+- **Key bindings** (`/bind`, `/unbind`) — map any key notation (`^R`, `M-Tab`, `F5`, `Ctrl-W`) to a command string. Bindings are normalized to a canonical form so `^R` and `C-R` resolve to the same binding
+
+The `/eval` command expands `$vars` in arbitrary text, and `/source <file>` executes a file of commands line-by-line with full variable and alias expansion. All three stores (variables, aliases, bindings) persist across sessions via the config save system.
+
+---
+
+## Logging
+
+Per-channel logging writes one file per window under `$XDG_DATA_HOME/nirc/logs/` in naim-compatible format. Each log line is prefixed with a bracketed timestamp and formatted according to message kind:
+
+```
+[12:00:01] <alice> message body          (channel text)
+[12:00:15] *alice* PM text               (query/PM)
+[12:00:22] *** server notice             (system message)
+[12:00:30] -nick- notice body            (notice with sender)
+[12:00:45] * nick action text            (CTCP ACTION / /me)
+[12:01:00] *** Error: description        (error)
+[12:01:15] [FILE] filename.ext           (file transfer event)
+```
+
+Log files are opened lazily on first write and kept open for appending. When a file exceeds the configured size limit (default 10 MiB), it is rotated: the current file becomes `.log.1`, the previous `.log.1` becomes `.log.2`, and so on. Rotated files are retained indefinitely — no automatic deletion. The total on-disk footprint is unbounded by default, constrained only by available disk space. Filesystem errors are caught and reported via `tracing::warn` — the client never panics due to a log write failure.
+
+---
+
+## Notifications
+
+The notification engine supports two delivery channels with independent enable/disable flags:
+
+- **Desktop notifications** — delivered via the system's native notification backend (XDG notifications on Linux, NSUserNotification on macOS) with configurable urgency levels (low, normal, critical)
+- **Terminal bell** — emits `\x07` to trigger the terminal emulator's visual or audible bell indicator
+
+Both channels share a configurable debounce interval (default 2000 ms) that prevents notification storms during high-traffic conversations. Highlight words are configurable per-server, and the client tracks a set of extra highlight words that trigger notifications even in non-focused windows.
+
+---

+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration lives at `~/.nirc/config.toml` and is created automatically on first run with sensible defaults. Every setting has a documented default; the client works without any configuration beyond your server address.
+
+### Auto-load and manual reload
+
+At startup nirc-rs auto-loads any config file found at the default location (`~/.nirc/config.toml` on Linux, `~/Library/Application Support/nirc/config.toml` on macOS, `%APPDATA%\nirc\config.toml` on Windows). If no config is present, defaults are used and a Status-tab notice tells you so. The auto-load result is announced on the Status tab so you can tell at a glance where your settings came from.
+
+A 5-second mtime watcher hot-reloads the config whenever the file changes on disk — so editing `config.toml` in your editor is picked up automatically without a restart. To force a reload on demand (for example after restoring a config from a backup, or to silence a "did the watcher catch that?" doubt), use:
+
+```
+/load              # reload from the default config location
+/load ~/alt.toml   # reload from a specific path (supports ~ expansion)
+```
+
+`/load` with no argument is the natural complement to `/save`: edit the file, then `/load` to pick up the changes. On success the theme, palette, nickname, and all server presets are re-applied live; on failure (file missing or malformed) the current config is left untouched and an error is shown in the Status tab.
+
+```toml
+[global]
+nickname = "yournick"
+realname = "Your Name"
+log_level = "info"              # error | warn | info | debug | trace
+auto_connect = ["libera"]       # servers to connect on startup
+
+# ─── Servers ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+[[servers]]

+
+## Installation
+
+### From Source (Recommended)
+
+```sh
+# Requires Rust 1.75+ (via rustup) and a C compiler
+git clone https://git.dcos.net/dcosnet/nirc-rs.git
+cd nirc-rs
+cargo build --release
+cp target/release/nirc-rs ~/.local/bin/
+```
+
+### Via Cargo
+
+```sh
+cargo install nirc-rs
+```
+
+### System Packages
+
+Arch Linux (AUR), Debian/Ubuntu `.deb`, RPM `.spec`, and Nix flake are available in the `packaging/` directory. Shell completions for bash, zsh, and fish are provided in `completions/`. A man page is provided in `man/man1/nirc.1`.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```sh
+nirc-rs
+```
+
+The client creates `~/.nirc/config.toml` with defaults and opens the TUI. Connect to an IRC server:
+
+```
+/connect irc irc.libera.chat:6697
+/join #rust
+```
+
+That's it. See [QUICKSTART.md](QUICKSTART.md) for a detailed walkthrough covering multi-protocol setup, the identity vault, file transfers, and key binding customization.
+
+---
+
+## Contributing
+
+Contributions are welcome. The project targets Rust edition 2021 with a minimum Rust version of 1.75+.
+
+```sh
+git clone https://git.dcos.net/dcosnet/nirc-rs.git
+cd nirc-rs

+## What's New in 0.10.0
+
+### IRC Hardening
+
+- **SASL EXTERNAL with client certificates** — Full TLS client certificate support via the identity vault. Loads combined PEM files (cert+key) or separate cert/key files. Configurable per-server via `sasl_client_cert` in the server entry's `extra` map.
+- **MONITOR (watch list) support** — IRCv3 MONITOR capability for tracking online/offline status of specific users. New `/watch + <nick>`, `/watch - <nick>`, `/watch l`, `/watch c`, `/watch s` commands. Handles RPL_MONONLINE (730), RPL_MONOFFLINE (731), RPL_MONLIST (732), RPL_ENDOFMONLIST (733), RPL_MONLISTFULL (734).
+- **User mode tracking** — Local tracking of user modes (+i, +w, etc.) via MODE handler and RPL_UMODEIS (221). Modes displayed in status bar.
+- **DCC SEND/ACCEPT framework** — Parsed incoming DCC SEND CTCP messages with IP/port/size extraction. Outbound DCC SEND with listening socket and local IP discovery. CTCP DCC ACCEPT handling for resume support. 8 new unit tests for DCC parsing.
+
+### Security & Configuration
+
+- **Config file hot-reload** — Background task polls `~/.nirc/config.toml` mtime every 5 seconds. On change, reloads config, updates palette/theme, and syncs nickname changes without dropping active connections.
+- **Custom keybindings from config** — Users can remap keys in `config.toml` via `[keybindings]` section. Supports compound modifiers (`ctrl-alt-x`), F-keys, and all crossterm key names. Custom bindings checked before hardcoded defaults.
+- **Plugin management commands** — `/plugins`, `/plugin-load <name>`, `/plugin-unload <name>`, `/plugin-enable <name>`, `/plugin-disable <name>` now wired up in the command dispatcher.
+- **Scrollback persistence to disk** — Per-tab message history saved as JSONL files in `~/.nirc/history/`. Loaded on startup, saved every 30 seconds and on clean exit. Respects `max_scrollback` limit.
+- **Terminal title (XTITLE)** — OSC 0 escape sequences set the terminal window title to `nirc - <protocol> <channel> (N unread)`. Updated on tab switch. Reset to "nirc" on exit.
+
+### ADC Protocol
+
+- **Proper CID generation** — Replaced `NIRC{SID}` placeholder with SHA-256 (first 24 bytes) + RFC 4648 Base32 encoding. Produces spec-compliant 39-character CIDs.
+- **I4/U4 BINF fields** — ADC client-client connections now include proper I4 (IPv4) and U4 (UDP4 port) in BINF messages for inbound peer connections.
+
+### Code Quality & Hardening
+
+- **`#![deny(unsafe_code)]`** at crate root. `#[allow(unsafe_code)]` scoped to only the plugin loader (`libloading`) and yamux integration that require it.
+- **Atomic config save** — `save_config()` now uses hard-link + rename strategy for atomic file replacement on POSIX.
+- **Vault key zeroization** — Verified `derive_key()` in the vault wipes the stack copy of derived keys via `zeroize`.
+- **Lightgray color fix** — `lightgray`/`lightgrey` now correctly maps to `Color::Indexed(252)` (75% brightness) instead of `Color::Gray` (40%).
+- **Removed unused dependencies** — Dropped `irc`, `nucleo-matcher`, `nom`, and `bytes` crates from Cargo.toml.
+
+---
+
+## What's New in 0.9.0
+
+### Keybindings
+
+- **`Ctrl-P`** — jump to previous buffer in the window list
+- **`Ctrl-A`** — jump to next active (connected) buffer
+- **`Ctrl-Z`** — cycle through highlight words for notification filtering
+- **`Insert`** — scroll chat view to the bottom and re-enable auto-scroll
+- **`Delete`** — now deletes the character after the cursor only (no longer cycles connections; use `Home`/`End` for window switching)
+
+### F1 Dropdown Menu
+
+The F1 key now opens a **QBasic 4.5 / aptitude-style dropdown menu bar** at the top of the screen. Navigate with arrow keys, select with Enter, dismiss with Esc or F1. All slash-commands are accessible through the menu for discoverability.
+
+### Transfer Ticker
+
+A **transfer progress ticker** now appears in the footer bar, showing real-time transfer speed and ETA for all active file transfers — no need to toggle the transfer panel.
+
+### UI Fixes
+
+- **`/nick` UI update** — changing your nickname now immediately updates all tab titles and status bar displays
+- **Local IP footer** — the status bar now shows your local network IP address
+- **Window list badges** — protocol badges and unread indicators in the winlist sidebar
+
+### Under the Hood
+
+- Ratatui 0.29 migration
+- Crossterm 0.28
+- libp2p 0.54 (with `macros` feature, not the removed `swarm-derive`)
+- matrix-sdk 0.18
+- tokio-rustls 0.26 with webpki-roots
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues
+
+1. **Matrix crypto types are not `Send`** — the matrix-sdk crypto types require running on a dedicated OS thread with a single-threaded tokio runtime. This is handled correctly but adds architectural complexity.
+
+2. **4 protocol stubs** — Discord, Stout, Spacebar, and Nerimity have full type definitions but their `run_*()` functions log "not yet implemented" and return. These contribute dead-code warnings.
+
+3. **DCC transfers need async I/O integration** — DCC SEND/ACCEPT parsing and socket setup is implemented, but the actual file data transfer loop needs to be wired into the transfer engine's async I/O pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## Build & Test Status
+
+- **Build:** `cargo build --release` succeeds
+- **Tests:** All 313 tests pass
+- **Binary size (release):** ~834 MB debug, optimized release binary significantly smaller
+- **Rust version required:** 1.75+
+
+---
+

+# nirc-rs — TODO
+
+Tracking open tasks for nirc-rs.
+
+---
+
+## Critical
+
+_None at this time._
+
+---
+
+## High
+
+- [ ] **Test Matrix protocol against a live server** — The Matrix implementation is complete (megolm E2EE, SQLite crypto store, room sync, member events, access token persistence) but has never been tested against matrix.org or any homeserver. This is the highest-priority untested protocol.
+
+- [ ] **Test Discord protocol against a live server** — The Discord implementation uses Gateway WebSocket and REST API but has not been tested. Need to verify connection, event handling, and message send/receive.
+
+- [ ] **Test remaining protocols** — Stout, Spacebar, Nerimity, and BitChat are all fully implemented but untested. Each needs a live server/peer to verify:
+  - [ ] Stout (Revolt-compatible fork)
+  - [ ] Spacebar (Revolt fork)
+  - [ ] Nerimity (custom platform)
+  - [ ] BitChat (P2P, libp2p, mDNS discovery)
+
+---
+
+## Medium
+
+- [ ] **Transfer panel rendering in draw loop** — The transfer widget exists but is only visible when toggled via `/transfers`. Integrate it into the main draw loop so it can be shown as a persistent panel or split view alongside the chat view.
+
+- [ ] **Console overlay key binding** — The Quake-style debug console overlay lost its key binding when F1 was reassigned to the dropdown menu. Assign a new key (e.g., `` Ctrl-` `` or F2) to toggle the console overlay.
+
+- [ ] **ADC I4/U4 in BINF for incoming C-C** — When an incoming client-client (C-C) connection arrives in ADC, the BINF message needs to include the correct I4 (IPv4) and U4 (UDP4) fields. Currently may be incomplete for inbound connections.
+
+- [ ] **IRC SASL EXTERNAL with client certificates** — Implement SASL EXTERNAL mechanism using TLS client certificates stored in the identity vault. This requires reading a PEM certificate and key from the vault and presenting them during the TLS handshake.
+
+---
+
+## Low
+
+- [ ] **IRC monitor mode (+i invisible)** — Support for IRC's user mode `+i` (invisible) and potentially a monitor/watch list feature for tracking online status of specific users.
+
+- [ ] **DCC file transfers for IRC** — Implement DCC SEND/ACCEPT for direct client-to-client file transfers over IRC. This is separate from the yamux-multiplexed transfer system used by ADC.
+
+- [ ] **Plugin API documentation** — Write comprehensive documentation for the `Plugin` trait, including how to build a `.so` plugin, the message types it receives, and how to register hooks.
+
+- [ ] **Config file hot-reload** — Watch `~/.nirc/config.toml` for changes (via SIGHUP or filesystem notification) and reload without restarting. Must handle errors gracefully and not drop active connections.
+
+- [ ] **Terminal title set/update** — Set `XTITLE` / `TerminalTitle` escape sequences to show the current window name, network, and unread count in the terminal emulator's title bar.
+
+- [ ] **Scrollback persistence to disk** — Currently scrollback is in-memory only (per-tab, up to `max_scrollback` messages). Persist to disk and reload on startup so history survives restarts.
+
+---
+
+## Completed
+
+- [x] **IRC CTCP VERSION auto-response** — Automatically replies to CTCP VERSION requests with the nirc-rs version string.
+- [x] **UTF-8 safe backspace** — Backspace correctly handles multi-byte UTF-8 characters (e.g., emoji, accented characters) without corrupting the input buffer.
+- [x] **Debug log pollution fix** — Reduced default log level to `warn`; diagnostic output now only appears at `info`/`debug`/`trace` levels.
+- [x] **F1 dropdown menu** — QBasic 4.5 / aptitude-style menu bar with arrow-key navigation and command dispatch.
+- [x] **Ctrl-P / Ctrl-A / Ctrl-Z keybindings** — Previous buffer, next active buffer, highlight cycle.
+- [x] **Transfer ticker footer** — Real-time transfer speed and ETA displayed in the status bar footer.
+- [x] **`/nick` UI update** — Nickname changes now immediately update all tab titles and status bar displays.
+- [x] **ADC handshake fix** — Corrected HSUP/HSID/INF handshake sequence for reliable hub connections.
+- [x] **ADC CID generation** — Now spec-compliant: `Base32(SHA-256(SID)[..24])` → 39-character CID per ADC specification. The old `NIRC{SID}` placeholder is gone. Locked in by 4 unit tests (`cid_is_39_chars_and_base32`, `cid_is_deterministic`, `cid_differs_for_different_sids`, `base32_encode_no_padding`). BINF version string now sourced from `CARGO_PKG_VERSION` instead of being hardcoded.
+- [x] **Local IP footer** — Status bar shows local network IP address.
+- [x] **Window list protocol badges** — Winlist sidebar shows per-protocol badges (IRC/Mtx/ADC/P2P/Dsc) with color coding.

+# Quickstart
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Rust** 1.75 or newer: [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs/)
+- **C compiler** (gcc, clang, or musl-gcc) — needed for `sha2`, `ring`, etc.
+- **A terminal emulator** that supports 256-color and Unicode
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.dcos.net/dcosnet/nirc-rs.git
+cd nirc-rs
+cargo build --release
+# Binary: target/release/nirc-rs
+```
+
+Or use the build script:
+
+```bash
+./build.sh release
+```
+
+## First Run
+
+No config is required to start. On first launch, nirc-rs creates
+`~/.nirc/config.toml` with example server entries:
+
+```bash
+./target/release/nirc-rs
+```
+
+## Connect to IRC
+
+1. Edit `~/.nirc/config.toml` and add:
+
+```toml
+[[servers]]
+name = "libera"
+protocol = "irc"
+address = "irc.libera.chat:6697"
+tls = true
+nick = "your_nick"
+```
+
+2. Start nirc-rs and connect:
+
+```
+/connect libera
+/join #nirc
+```
+
+## Connect to Matrix
+
+```toml
+[[servers]]
+name = "matrix"
+protocol = "matrix"
+address = "https://matrix.org"
+user_id = "@you:matrix.org"
+[servers.extra]
+password = "your_password"
+```
+
+## Connect to Discord (bot)
+
+```toml
+[[servers]]
+name = "mybot"
+protocol = "discord"
+address = "https://discord.com/api"
+bot_token = "BOT_TOKEN_HERE"
+```
+
+## Connect to BitChat (P2P)
+
+```toml
+[[servers]]
+name = "p2p"
+protocol = "bitchat"
+address = "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/9394"
+[servers.extra]
+nickname = "handle"
+# Optional: bootstrap to a known peer
+# bootstrap = "/ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/9394/p2p/QmPeerId"
+```
+
+## Key Bindings
+
+| Key        | Action             |
+|------------|--------------------|
+| `Ctrl+N`   | Next window        |
+| `Ctrl+P`   | Previous window    |
+| `Alt+1-9`  | Switch to window 1-9 |
+| `PgUp/Dn`  | Scroll chat        |
+| `Tab`      | Nickname complete  |
+| `/`        | Command mode        |
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Add more servers to `config.toml`
+- Explore `/help` for the full command list
+- Press `Ctrl+^` to toggle the debug console overlay

+//! Encrypted P2P tunnel layer — Phase 16.
+//!
+//! Wraps any async Read+Write stream (yamux, TCP) with the Noise Protocol
+//! Framework (Noise_XX pattern) for forward-secret, authenticated encryption.
+//! The libp2p `noise` crate handles the handshake; we wrap the resulting
+//! encrypted stream for use by the transfer engine and protocol backends.
+//!
+//! In production, this is automatically provided by libp2p's transport layer
+//! for BitChat. This module exposes the building blocks for:
+//! - Manual encrypted tunnels to non-libp2p peers
+//! - End-to-end encrypted yamux substreams
+//! - Keypair generation and fingerprinting

+//! nirc-rs — Multi-Protocol Data Terminal
+//!
+//! Multi-protocol terminal chat client.
+//! Layout matches original naim: chat area (LINES-2 rows) + status bar (1 row)
+//! + input bar (1 row), with a right-side window list overlaid on the chat area.
+//!
+//! Usage: nirc-rs [config-path]
+//!   If no config path is given, loads from ~/.nirc/config.toml.

+//! Plugin/extension system — Phase 19.
+//!
+//! Provides a hook-based plugin architecture where plugins can register
+//! handlers for specific events (message received, command issued, etc.).
+//! Plugins can be loaded from `~/.nirc/plugins/` as shared libraries (.so/.dylib)
+//! or registered at compile time via `PluginManager::register()`.
+//!
+//! ## Dynamic loading (N-3.1)
+//!
+//! Plugins loaded from `.so`/`.dylib` files must expose a C ABI function:
+//!
+//! ```c,ignore
+//! extern "C" fn nirc_plugin_create() -> *mut dyn Plugin;
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The library is `dlopen`'d, the factory function is called, and the
+//! returned pointer is wrapped in a `Box` and registered normally.
+//! The `PluginManager` holds the `Library` handle and unloads it on
+//! `unregister` or drop.

+//! ADC/DC++ protocol backend — Phase 4.
+//!
+//! Implements the ADC (Direct Connect) hub client protocol:
+//! - Hub connection with HSUP, SID assignment, BINF self-announcement
+//! - Password authentication via GPAS/HPAS
+//! - Broadcast messaging (BMSG) and direct messaging (EMSG)
+//! - Hub search (SCH) with result handling
+//! - PING/PONG keepalive to prevent idle disconnect
+//! - User tracking (online/offline) via BINF/BQUI/IQUI
+//!
+//! Security architecture (0.7.0):
+//! A varnish-style guard layer sits between inbound ADC wire data and the
+//! protocol handler.  Each inbound command passes through a pipeline of
+//! guard rules that enforce rate limits, payload size caps, and peer
+//! address validation.  This prevents malicious hubs or peers from
+//! exploiting unvalidated BINF fields (e.g. I4/U4) to redirect C-C
+//! file-transfer connections to arbitrary hosts.
+//!
+//! Wire protocol reference: <https://adc.sourceforge.net/ADC.html>

+//! BitChat protocol backend — P2P chat via libp2p Gossipsub.
+//!
+//! Implements a fully functional P2P chat layer over libp2p 0.54:
+//!
+//! - **F-5.1** Full libp2p Swarm: TCP transport, Noise encryption, Yamux
+//!   multiplexing, Gossipsub pub/sub, mDNS local discovery, Identify remote
+//!   discovery, Ping keepalive.
+//! - **F-5.2** Bootstrap node dialing from `ServerEntry.extra.bootstrap`.
+//! - **F-5.3** Gossipsub publish/subscribe for public chat, DMs, and file
+//!   offer advertisements.
+//! - **F-5.4** Peer discovery and tracking from mDNS, Identify, and Gossipsub
+//!   `PeerAnnounce` messages.  `/bitchat peers` displays the live peer table.
+//! - **F-5.5** P2P file send via libp2p request-response protocol.  File offers
+//!   are also advertised over Gossipsub so all peers can see them.
+//!
+//! ## Config (in `~/.nirc/config.toml`)
+//!
+//! ```toml
+//! [[servers]]
+//! name = "bitchat"
+//! protocol = "bitchat"
+//! address = "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/9394"
+//!
+//! [servers.extra]
+//! bootstrap = "/ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/9394/p2p/QmSomePeerId"

+//! Discord protocol backend — Phase I.
+//!
+//! Implements the Discord Gateway (WebSocket) + REST API:
+//! - Bot token authentication (user token supported but discouraged by Discord ToS)
+//! - Real-time messaging via Gateway events (opcodes 0–11)
+//! - Heartbeat (configurable interval from Hello, typically 41.25 s)
+//! - Session resume (session_id + sequence number)
+//! - Guild (server), channel, DM, and group DM support
+//! - Message send / edit / delete / react
+//! - Typing indicators
+//! - Member listing, server join/leave via invite
+//!
+//! API reference: <https://discord.com/developers/docs>
+//! Gateway URL obtained via REST GET /gateway/bot.

+//! Matrix protocol backend — Phase D (0.2.0).
+//!
+//! Full Matrix client backed by `matrix-sdk 0.18` with megolm E2EE.
+//!
+//! ## UX principle
+//!
+//! Matrix should FEEL like IRC. The TUI doesn't know or care which protocol
+//! produced a `ChatMessage` — it renders them identically. This module's job
+//! is to translate Matrix events into `ChatMessage`s and route outgoing
+//! `MatrixCommand`s to the appropriate `matrix-sdk` calls.
+//!
+//! ## E2EE
+//!
+//! The `e2e-encryption` feature of `matrix-sdk` handles Olm/megolm transparently.
+//! Encrypted events are auto-decrypted before reaching our event handlers.
+//! If decryption fails (unknown device, etc.), the SDK returns `None` from
+//! `original_content()` and we emit a "[Unable to decrypt]" notice.
+//!
+//! ## Token persistence
+//!
+//! After successful password login, the access token is emitted as a special
+//! notice with prefix `[matrix-token]` so main.rs can persist it for resume.

+//! Chat view rendering — naim-style message formatting.
+//!
+//! Timestamps use `[HH:MM:SS] ` (24-hour, trailing space), colored bold yellow.
+//! Message prefixes follow naim conventions, modernized to Unicode where the
+//! classic ASCII markers were purely decorative (system/error stars, file
+//! transfer tag). IRC-protocol prefixes (`<nick>`, `nick:`, `* nick`, `-nick-`)
+//! are preserved verbatim because they are conventions other IRC clients and
+//! log parsers expect to recognize.
+//!
+//! Unicode modernization:
+//! - System/notice prefix: `***` → `※ ` (U+203B REFERENCE MARK, used as a
+//!   footnote / annotation marker in CJK typography — same semantic role as
+//!   naim's `***` but no longer collides with the C comment delimiter or shell
+//!   glob).
+//! - Error prefix: `*** Error: ` → `✗ Error: ` (U+2717 BALLOT X) — keeps the
+//!   visual weight of three stars but uses a single Unicode glyph that reads
+//!   unambiguously as "error / rejected".
+//! - File transfer prefix: `[FILE]` → `⇄ ` (U+21C4 RIGHTWARDS ARROW OVER
+//!   LEFTWARDS ARROW) — evokes bidirectional transfer more directly than the
+//!   bracketed tag, and stays a single cell wide.
+//! - IRC-protocol prefixes preserved: `<Nick>` (channel), `Nick:` (query/own),
+//!   `* Nick` (action), `-Nick-` (notice) — these are RFC 1459 / ircII
+//!   conventions and changing them would break copy-paste of logs into other
+//!   tools.
+//!
+//! All rendering uses `buf.set_string()` with explicit coordinates for
+//! character-level control.
+//!
+//! ## A4: HTML-like markup (0.1.2)
+//!
+//! Message bodies may contain simple HTML-like markup tags that affect rendering:
+//! - `<B>...</B>` — bold
+//! - `<I>...</I>` — italic (rendered as dim/underline in terminals that lack italics)
+//! - `<U>...</U>` — underline
+//! - `<R>...</R>` — reverse video
+//! - `<FONT COLOR="red">...</FONT>` — colored foreground (case-insensitive;
+//!   color names from `NaimColor::from_name`, or `#RRGGBB` mapped to nearest
+//!   8-color, or "bold"/"dim" attribute tags)
+//!
+//! Tags can nest but cannot overlap. Unknown tags are stripped (their content
+//! is rendered with the parent style). Malformed tags are rendered literally.

+//! Quake-style debug console — Roadmap item A8.
+//!
+//! Slides down from the top of the screen when toggled (F1). Shows a ring buffer
+//! of tracing events captured from the application. Overlay on the chat area.
+//!
+//! # Deviations from the original Task 2-B spec (necessary for compilation)
+//!
+//! - **`NaimColor::Black` → `NaimColor::Clear`**: the `foundation::NaimColor`
+//!   enum has no `Black` variant. `Clear` maps to `Color::Reset`, which the
+//!   foundation module's own docstring identifies as "Terminal default / Black
+//!   (color index 0)" and which `NaimColor::from_name("black")` returns. So
+//!   `Clear` is the canonical "black" in this palette system. All five
+//!   `NaimColor::Black` references in the spec are rendered as `NaimColor::Clear`
+//!   here. The visual result on a normal terminal is a black/default background,
+//!   which is what the overlay wants.
+//! - **`#[derive(..., Eq)]` → `#[derive(..., PartialEq)]` on `ConsoleAnim`**:
+//!   `f32` does not implement `Eq`, so deriving `Eq` on an enum containing
+//!   `f32` (the `SlidingIn(f32)` / `SlidingOut(f32)` variants) is a hard
+//!   compile error. `PartialEq` is retained — it is sufficient for `assert_eq!`
+//!   in tests and for all equality comparisons the calling code is expected to
+//!   make. `Eq` would only be required if `ConsoleAnim` were used as a
+//!   `HashMap`/`BTreeMap` key, which is not anticipated.
+//!
+//! All public API items, method signatures, and the `CONSOLE_RING_CAPACITY`
+//! constant match the spec exactly.

+/// - **Prompt mode** (needs user input): action is `"__prompt:/cmd "`.
+///   The `__prompt:` prefix causes the input bar to be pre-filled with the
+///   command prefix so the user can type the required arguments and press Enter.
+///   e.g. `"__prompt:/join "` puts `/join ` in the input bar.
+/// - **Internal actions**: `"__server_list"` etc. are handled directly in
+///   the main event loop's menu dispatch block.

+//! Naim-style window list (right-side buddy/chat list panel).
+//!
+//! Renders a vertical list of open windows on the right edge of the chat area,
+//! overlaid (not a separate layout block). Uses box-drawing characters and
+//! right-justified entry names, matching the original naim C client.
+//!
+//! ## D2: Protocol badges (0.2.0)
+//!
+//! Each entry is prefixed with a 1-character protocol badge followed by a
+//! space, colored by protocol (IRC=Cyan I, Matrix=Magenta M, ADC=Blue A,
+//! BitChat=Green P). This makes it visually obvious which protocol a tab
+//! belongs to when multiple protocols are connected simultaneously.
+//!
+//! ```
+//! ┌ IRC
+//! ├> I #rust      ← IRC channel, waiting/unread (cyan badge)
+//! │  M matrix-room← Matrix room, current (magenta badge)
+//! └  P p2p-room   ← BitChat room, last entry (green badge)
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Badges are suppressed when `content_width < 8` or when `with_badges(false)`
+//! is set, defaulting to the badgeless rendering.
