+# Concord discovery: why no community ever reaches `subscribe`
+
+Audit + fix plan. Read alongside `docs/concord-usage.md` and
+`docs/concord-simplification-plan.md`.
+
+## Symptom
+
+`crates/community/src/lib.rs::subscribe` is never called, so no wrap is ever
+subscribed to and the sidebar stays empty. `community load: 0 state document(s)
+found` is the only clue.
+
+## Root cause
+
+`CommunityRegistry::load` only ever reads the **local database**. Nothing in the
+discovery path touches a relay.
+
+```
+community::init
+  └─ SignerChanged → load
+       └─ sync::load
+            ├─ store::load_states(client)   → client.database().query(..)   // local only
+            └─ load_list(client, ..)        → client.database().query(..)   // local only, .limit(1)
+       → track([])
+       → sync_subscriptions: `for community in self.communities` runs zero times
+       → subscribe never called
+       → no relay is ever queried
+       → the database never fills
+       → load stays empty forever
+```
+
+The loop is self-reinforcing: the local database is populated *by* the
+subscriptions that the empty load prevents. That is why an account which belongs
+to several communities in another client still shows nothing — a fresh install
+has no `concord/*` state document, and coop has no way to ask for one.
+
+Confirmed by inspection:
+
+| Location | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `crates/community/src/lib.rs:167-191` | `load` → `sync::load`, then `track(states)` |
+| `crates/community/src/sync.rs:125-137` | `load` = `store::load_states` + `load_list` |
+| `crates/concord/src/store.rs:314-341` | `load_states` queries `client.database()` only |
+| `crates/community/src/sync.rs:139-153` | `load_list` queries `client.database()` only, `.limit(1)` |
+| `crates/community/src/lib.rs:233-276` | `sync_subscriptions` skips everything when `communities` is empty |
+
+`subscribe` itself is correct. Do not debug it.
+
+## What the protocol actually says
+
+Read from the spec (`concord-protocol/concord`, the submodule referenced by
+accordion.chat): `02.md` §8 and `examples.md` §6.2.
+
+A member's memberships live in the **Community List**, on relays:
+
+- **Kind `33302`**, addressable, NIP-44-encrypted to self, signed by the
+  member's real key, one event per **fragment** with `d` = the fragment index in
+  decimal (`"0"`, `"1"`, …). `13302` is explicitly **retired** ("the
+  single-event Community List, superseded by `33302` once it outgrew one event —
+  a replaceable kind cannot fragment", `02.md:314`).
+- Every 32-byte value at **any depth** is unpadded base64url, not hex. This is
+  section-scoped: CORD-05 invite fields stay hex (`examples.md` §6.3).
+- Join material is the membership subset — `owner, owner_salt, community_root,
+  root_epoch, control_pk, channels, relays, name`, plus `control_root` when
+  held. It is the *only* durable home of a member's keys.
+- The two snapshots solve opposite problems: `seed` is the earliest epoch held
+  (backfill anchor), `current` the latest ("so a fresh device reconstructs the
+  Community instantly with no epoch-by-epoch walk"). `seed` is omitted when
+  equal to `current`; embedded snapshots omit `community_id` (inherited).
+- A client holds the complete List when it holds a fragment at every index below
+  `frags`; it unions fragments and merges, so a partial read is safe.
+
+Two consequences for coop:
+
+1. **The state document is a coop invention.** `store::{save_state, load_state,
+   load_states}` write kind `30078` with `d = concord/<id>`, signed by a
+   per-process `LOCAL_KEYS`, and never leave the machine. No equivalent exists
+   anywhere in the spec. It is a local cache and must never be treated as the
+   discovery source.
+2. **Discovery is: subscribe to my `33302` → materialize a community from
+   `current` join material → subscribe to its planes → fold.** The fold produces
+   the authoritative state; the List only supplies the keys to start.
+
+## Divergences (coop vs spec)
+
+| # | Spec | coop today |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | kind `33302`, addressable | was `cord02::list::KIND_COMMUNITY_LIST = 13302` (retired) — **fixed in Phase A** |
+| 2 | one event per fragment, `d` = index, `frags` declared | was no `frags`, single event, `d` unused, `load_list` `.limit(1)` — **fixed in Phase A** |
+| 3 | 32-byte values unpadded base64url at any depth | was hex for `JoinMaterial.owner`/`control_root`, `CommunityId` serde, `ChannelGrant.key` — **fixed in Phase A** |
+| 4 | `seed` omitted when equal to `current`; embedded snapshot omits `community_id`; `seed`'s cosmetic fields rewritten from `current` | was both snapshots emitted verbatim, `community_id` always present — **fixed in Phase A** |
+| 5 | fetch from relays | local database only — **fixed in Phase C** |
+| 6 | materialize `CommunityState` from join material | was no such path; only `CommunityState::from_genesis` — **fixed in Phase B** |
+| 7 | publish the List on create/join (read-modify-write) | `build_list_event` is referenced only by tests and docs — **fixed in Phase D** |
+| 8 | private channel keys ride in join material | `ChannelKeyRef` has a key field, but private planes are still not subscribed |
+
+Divergences 1–7 are resolved. 8 remains, in the narrow sense that `planes()`
+still skips private channels rather than deriving their addresses from the
+granted key.
+
+## Plan
+
+Ordered so each phase is independently reviewable and testable. Nothing here
+touches the frozen HKDF derivations or `cord01` envelope semantics.
+
+### Phase A — make the List interoperable (pure, no I/O) — DONE
+
+`crates/concord/src/cords/cord02/list.rs`
+
+1. `KIND_COMMUNITY_LIST` → `33302`; add `frags: u64` to `CommunityList` and
+   `is_complete(&self, frags) -> bool`.
+2. Add a base64url codec for the §8 value set and apply it to every 32-byte
+   field at every depth. Because `JoinMaterial` currently types `owner` and
+   `control_pk` as `PublicKey` (nostr's hex serde), this needs either wire
+   newtypes or `serialize_with`/`deserialize_with` helpers. Keep it local to the
+   List: `cord05` stays hex.
+3. Implement the two §8 MUSTs: omit `community_id` on an embedded snapshot,
+   omit `seed` when it byte-equals `current`, and rewrite `seed`'s cosmetic
+   fields (`name`, `relays`, each channel's `name`) from `current` on every
+   serialization.
+4. `build_list_event`/`parse_list_event` take the fragment index and emit/read
+   the `d` tag.
+
+Tests: round-trip the `examples.md` §6.2 payload verbatim; `merge` convergence
+for two devices and mixed-age fragments; `frags` disagreement resolves to the
+larger value; a repack does not shed unknown fields.
+
+**As built.** The §8 rules live behind private wire structs (`WireList`,
+`WireEntry`, `WireSnapshot`, `WireChannel`), so a writer re-encodes on every
+serialization while the public types keep their internal hex/`PublicKey`
+spellings and `cord05` stays hex. Three deviations from the sketch above:
+
+- `is_complete` takes the set of fragment indices a client holds, not a count:
+  a count is wrong when the indices are sparse.
+- The reader tolerates non-zero base64url trailing bits. The spec's own §6.2
+example has five such values, so a strict decoder rejects the worked example;
+  the writer still emits the canonical spelling.
+- The third omission MUST was implemented too: an entry whose `added_at` does
+  not outrun its tombstone is not written. It is a serialization rule exactly
+  like the other two, so it belongs here rather than in Phase D.
+
+`parse_list_event` validates the `d` tag but returns just the `CommunityList`;
+`fragment_index(event)` reads the index, which kept `sync.rs` untouched until
+Phase C. `MAX_MEMBERSHIPS = 50` is kept as a stopgap (see risks): §8 has no
+membership limit, and removing the cap needs write-time fragmentation.
+
+### Phase B — materialize a community from join material (pure) — DONE
+
+`crates/concord/src/store.rs`, `crates/concord/src/cords/cord02/list.rs`
+
+1. `CommunityState::from_join_material(material: &JoinMaterial, added_at_ms:
+   u64) -> Result<Self>`: identity/owner/salt/root/root_epoch from the material;
+   `control_pks = { root_epoch → control_pk }`; `relays` parsed; `channels` from
+   the grants; `control_root` when present; `heads` empty (the first control
+   fold fills them); `banned` empty; `dissolved` false.
+2. Carry the private channel key: add `key: Option<[u8; 32]>` to
+   `ChannelKeyRef` (or a parallel map) so a grant's `key` has a home. Without
+   this, a private channel is silently read-only-until-rekey.
+
+Tests: a material with and without `control_root`; a private grant's key
+survives; `from_join_material` then `planes()` yields the control `control_pk`
+plus the guestbook and public channels, i.e. a subscription filter that
+addresses real planes.
+
+**As built.** `from_join_material` does not verify `community_id` against
+`owner`/`owner_salt`: the List is signed by the member's own key and encrypted
+to self, and the invite path already validates that binding in
+`CommunityInvite::validate`. `private` on a materialized channel is simply
+`key.is_some()` — the spec's `channels` carry only the Private Channel keys a
+member was granted, so a grant with no key is a public channel. Nothing else
+changed: `from_genesis` and `apply_fold` construct every channel with
+`key: None`, and `planes()` still skips private channels, whose address derives
+from the granted key rather than the `community_root`. Carrying the key is what
+makes subscribing to them possible later; it is not needed to fix discovery.
+
+Two tests. In `concord`, `from_join_material` (with and without `control_root`,
+a granted key surviving, a public grant staying keyless). In `community`,
+`planes()` plus `subscription_filter` over a state built field-by-field (control
++ guestbook + public channel addressed, private skipped) — `JoinMaterial` and
+`ChannelGrant` cannot be constructed from `community` because their `extra`
+field's type is crate-private, so the materialization and the plane derivation
+are each proved where they live.
+
+### Phase C — the List drives `load` — DONE
+
+`crates/community/src/sync.rs`, `crates/community/src/lib.rs`
+
+1. `subscribe_list(client, self_pk)` subscribes to `Kind::Custom(33302)`
+   `author(self_pk)` under a dedicated `concord/list` subscription id, using
+   `ReqTarget::auto`. With gossip enabled, `auto` breaks the filter down by
+   author, so it queries the account's NIP-65 write relays and adds/connects
+   them itself — bootstrap relays alone would miss a List published elsewhere.
+2. `CommunityRegistry` calls `subscribe_list` once per signer (signer change and
+   the initial defer). It is deliberately **not** called from `load`:
+   re-subscribing on every List event would re-deliver the List and loop. `reset`
+   does not unsubscribe it either — `subscribe_list` replaces the subscription
+   itself, and a `reset`-issued unsubscribe could race the replacement and cancel
+   discovery.
+3. The notification listener routes a `concord/list` event to a new `Signal::List`,
+   whose consumer re-runs `load`. Community planes keep using `Signal::Event(id)`.
+4. `load_list` reads every `33302` event by `self_pk` from the database, keeps the
+   newest event per fragment index, decrypts and `merge`s them. `.limit(1)` is gone.
+   An incomplete List is read normally — a missing fragment is news not yet heard.
+5. `load` unions two sources: every live List entry (materialized with
+   `from_join_material`, or refreshed if a state document already exists) and every
+   held local state the List does not mention. A held membership is dropped only
+   when a tombstone outranks its `added_at_ms`; absence from the List is never a
+   fact. Each list-derived state is `save_state`d, so the next `load` is warm.
+6. `refresh(held, fresh)` keeps the fold's authority (`heads`, `banned`,
+   `dissolved`) and the control planes it learned, and takes the List's identity,
+   relays, and channel keys. Channels are merged by id rather than replaced, so a
+   public channel the fold discovered is not shed by a List snapshot that predates
+   it.
+
+**As built, deviating from the sketch above.** The plan called for
+`client.fetch_events(..)`; the SDK's own recommendation is to keep the request
+path on a subscription and read the database. This is safer than it sounds: a
+relay's event is persisted at `nostr-sdk/src/relay/inner.rs:1291` **before** the
+notification is emitted, so a subscription plus a database read loses nothing and
+needs no explicit save. The subscription is set up with `ReqTarget::auto` rather
+than a hand-built NIP-65 relay map, because gossip already resolves the author's
+write relays and connects them on demand.
+
+Tests (no network, in `crates/community/src/sync.rs`): a membership the List
+carries materializes a community even though no state document was ever written
+for it, and discovery writes the document so the next load is warm; a held
+membership the List never mentions is kept alongside the one it does; a tombstone
+outranks a held membership and drops it; and the `concord/list` id is not read as
+a community subscription. Fragment events are built with `store::list_entry` +
+`CommunityList::joined` + `build_list_event` and saved straight into a memory
+database, so the tests exercise the real seal/parse/merge path without a relay.
+
+### Phase D — publish — DONE
+
+`crates/community/src/sync.rs`, `crates/concord/src/store.rs`,
+`crates/concord/src/cords/cord02/list.rs`
+
+1. `create` mints the genesis, folds it into a state, and saves that state locally
+   as before, then announces the community: the genesis wraps to its relay set,
+   and the membership to the account's own List. Both publishes are best-effort —
+   a relay that is down is a warning, not a failed create.
+2. The List write is a read-modify-write over the copy already held (§8). `create`
+   reads the newest held fragment, unions its own entry in with
+   `CommunityList::joined`, builds fragment 0, and publishes it. Publishing saves
+   it locally as a side effect of `send_event`, before any relay is resolved, so
+   the fragment survives a relay that is down and no explicit database write is
+   needed.
+3. The fragment's `created_at` is `max(now, previous + 1)`, so an addressable
+   relay can never quietly keep the copy the write meant to replace.
+
+**As built, deviating from the sketch above.** Three decisions the sketch did not
+cover:
+
+- The List goes to the account's **NIP-65 write relays** (`.to_nip65()`), not the
+  community's metadata relays. The List is the member's own document, and it is
+  the same relay set `subscribe_list` resolves for its `author` filter — the two
+  halves must agree or a write can land where nothing reads. The genesis wraps,
+  which belong to the community and not the member, do go to the metadata relays.
+- The entry is built by a new `store::list_entry(state, name)`. `JoinMaterial`'
+  `extra` field is crate-private, so the community crate cannot build one; `name`
+  is passed in because the state does not carry it — the name lives in the Control
+  fold, and a created community has it in the metadata.
+- A List that already spans more than one fragment is **left alone**: placing a
+  new membership needs a repack (which fragment does it belong in?), and §8 allows
+  a repack only against the complete List. `load` keeps a membership the List
+  never mentions, so the community is still tracked locally; the remote write is
+  deferred with a warning rather than performed wrongly.
+
+Tests: `create` records a membership the List round-trips, and a second create
+unions into the same document instead of replacing it.
+
+### Phase E — verify live
+
+`RUST_LOG=info cargo run -p coop`, sign in with the accordion account that
+already belongs to communities. Expect `community {id}: subscribing to ..` and
+rows in the sidebar. This is the first time the path can be exercised at all.
+
+## Validation per phase
+
+- `cargo test -p concord` (A, B), `cargo test -p community` (B, C, D).
+- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets`, `cargo fmt --all -- --check`.
+- A is provable against the spec's worked example, so it needs no relay.
+- C is provable with `nostr-memory`: fragments are built with `build_list_event`
+  and saved as the subscription would have, then `load` reads them. No relay,
+  no `LocalRelay`.
+- E is the only step that needs real relays.
+
+## Risks and open decisions
+
+- **Base64url is case-significant and coop's ids are hex everywhere else.**
+  Confine the codec to `cord02::list`; any normalisation that case-folds will
+  silently corrupt §8 values. **Resolved in Phase A**: the codec is private to
+  `list.rs` and never case-folds.
+- **`MAX_MEMBERSHIPS = 50` is not in the spec.** §8 has no membership limit; its
+  only bound is the 65,536-byte *encoded event*. `fits()` still measures the
+  NIP-44 plaintext, which understates that by roughly a third. Phase D kept the
+  count cap and added a guard: a List that already spans more than one fragment is
+  not appended to, because placing a new membership needs a repack. So a member
+  with more than one fragment gets no remote write until fragmentation lands; the
+  community stays local and visible.
+- **Relay selection is the difference between finding the account's List and
+  not.** Resolved in Phase C by `ReqTarget::auto`, whose gossip path resolves the
+  filter's author to their NIP-65 write relays and connects them. A List
+  published only to relays with no NIP-65 entry is still unreachable; that is a
+  user-visible relay setting if it ever bites.
+- **Private channels stay unsubscribed until `planes()` derives their address
+  from the granted key** (Phase B gave `ChannelKeyRef` a home for it, but the
+  discovery fix does not need it). Public discovery works regardless.
+- **Two writers, one key.** Once coop publishes `33302`, an account used from
+  both accordion and coop has both clients writing the List. §8's
+  read-modify-write is what keeps that from losing memberships — it is not
+  optional.
+- **A create racing the first list sync can publish over an unseen List.**
+  `record_membership` unions into what the local database holds, and on a fresh
+  sign-in that is empty until the `concord/list` subscription has delivered. A
+  create in that window writes a one-entry fragment 0, and an addressable relay
+  then replaces the account's fuller List with it. The window is the ordinary
+  sign-in-to-create interval, so it is small but not zero. The honest fix is to
+  treat the List write as part of the sync loop — republish `list ∪ local
+  memberships` whenever the subscription settles — rather than doing it inside
+  `create`; an EOSE flag is not enough on its own, because an account with no
+  NIP-65 relays never reaches EOSE and would then never write at all.
+- **`store::save_state` signs with a per-process random key.** Harmless while it
+  stays local, but it means the state document can never be published or
+  compared; if a future phase wants it on the wire, it needs the account signer.
+- **The deployed reference client still writes the retired kind `13302`.** The
+  spec this plan implements (`concord-protocol/concord` `main`) moved the List to
+  `33302` in PR #18, merged **2026-08-15**. The `applesauce` `concord` branch that
+  accordion.chat builds against still declares `13302`, single-event, capped at 50
+  memberships, at its head of **2026-08-05**; accordion's pin predates even that
+  (`0.0.0-concord-20260804145327`). So an account whose memberships were written
+  by that build stores them under a kind coop deliberately does not read, and will
+  show an empty sidebar until the client is updated to the fragmented kind. This
+  is not a bug in the discovery path — Phases C and D are correct against the
+  current spec — but it is the first thing to check if a live sign-in still shows
+  nothing. Supporting `13302` alongside `33302` is a deliberate non-goal until the
+  reference client moves.

+# Concord backend audit and simplification plan
+
+Audit of `crates/concord`, triggered by `CommunityRegistry` never reaching
+`subscribe`: `sync::load` found zero community state documents. Tracing that
+surfaced two separate things: the app only uses a fraction of the crate, and the
+crate's writers take a concrete `nostr::Keys`, which the app's signer can never
+produce.
+
+Sizes: ~10,500 lines total — ~6,750 production, ~3,750 tests.
+
+## Decisions taken
+
+- **D1 — Keep the unwired protocol surface.** `cord05`/`cord06`/`pins`/paging
+  stay in the tree for future use. No mass deletion. (Findings are recorded in
+  §4 for reference only.)
+- **D2 — Replace `&Keys` with a signer boundary** for account-key operations.
+  Verified feasible against the pinned SDK; design in §2.
+
+---
+
+## 1. `&Keys` cannot be replaced by a public key — but it can be replaced by a signer
+
+The original question was whether functions like `genesis` only need
+`signer.get_public_key_async()`. They do not: they sign.
+
+- `cord02::genesis` (`cords/cord02/mod.rs:117`) → `seal_edition` (`:711`) →
+  `build_seal` (`cord01.rs:217`), which signs the seal (`.finalize(author)`,
+  `cord01.rs:226`), and `wrap_seal_with` (`:247`), which signs the wrap.
+- Self-addressed documents use NIP-44 to self: `seal_to_self`
+  (`cord01.rs:201`) derives a conversation key from `keys.secret_key()`.
+
+A public key can produce neither a Schnorr signature nor an ECDH key, so
+"public-key-only" is impossible. The real defect is the **concrete type**: the
+app holds `state::UniversalSigner` (async, possibly NIP-46), and a `nostr::Keys`
+can never be conjured from it. `docs/concord-usage.md:535-536` already records
+this as a deliberate migration pass.
+
+### What the pinned SDK actually provides
+
+Pinned rev `b230cec` (`nostr` 0.45.4 / `nostr-sdk` 0.45.2):
+
+- There is **no `NostrSigner` trait in this revision.** The async signer surface
+  is three traits, all in the `nostr` crate:
+  - `AsyncGetPublicKey` — `nostr/src/key/public_key.rs:39`
+  - `AsyncSignEvent` — `nostr/src/event/mod.rs:366`
+  - `AsyncNip44` — `nostr/src/nips/nip44/traits.rs:30`
+- `Keys` implements all three (`nostr/src/key/mod.rs:298,309,342`), so tests and
+  local key holders keep working.
+- `UniversalSigner` already implements all three with
+  `Error = UniversalSignerError` (`crates/state/src/signer.rs:148-191`).
+- SDK helpers accept them:
+  - `EventBuilder::finalize_async` — `S: AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent + ?Sized`
+    (`nostr/src/event/builder.rs:171-193`)
+  - `GiftWrapBuilder::finalize_async` — `S: AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent + AsyncNip44`
+    (`nostr/src/nips/nip59.rs:334-355`)
+  - `UnwrappedGift::from_gift_wrap_async` — `T: AsyncNip44` (`nip59.rs:84-90`)
+
+So the answer is yes: pass a signer. `UniversalSigner` works as-is.
+
+### Per-function bounds, not a bundle
+
+Each function should request only the capabilities it uses. The SDK itself is
+designed this way (`UnsignedEvent::finalize_async` takes only `AsyncSignEvent`,
+`EventBuilder::finalize_async` takes `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent`,
+NIP-59 takes all three).
+
+| Operation | Bounds |
+| --- | --- |
+| Sign a seal/edition/rekey wrap, author already known | `AsyncSignEvent` |
+| Build an event where the author comes from the signer | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent` |
+| To-self documents (Community List, Invite List) | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncNip44`, plus `AsyncSignEvent` when the document is itself an event |
+| Decrypt-only (`parse_list_event`, `unwrap_direct_invite`) | `AsyncNip44` |
+| Rekey blob encrypt (`build_blob`) | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncNip44` (no signing) |
+| Rekey blob open (`open_blob`) | `AsyncNip44` |
+| Direct invite build (`GiftWrapBuilder`) | all three |
+
+Use generics (`S: AsyncSignEvent + ?Sized`), never `&dyn`: the traits carry
+associated `Error` types, so `dyn AsyncSignEvent` would force the concrete error
+at every call site (`dyn AsyncSignEvent<Error = UniversalSignerError>`),
+defeating the abstraction. The SDK uses generics throughout for this reason.
+
+Do **not** define a supertrait bundle
+`trait Signer: AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent + AsyncNip44 {}`: all three
+supertraits declare an associated `Error`, so `Self::Error` becomes ambiguous,
+and the bundle forces NIP-44 onto purely-signing callers (and vice versa).
+
+Inside concord, replace `builder.finalize(&keys)` with
+`builder.finalize_async(signer).await`. `finalize_async` fetches the signer's
+public key and uses it as the event author, exactly as `finalize` did, so the
+bytes are unchanged for every caller that passes a matching signer.
+
+We deliberately **do not** pre-check the author against `rumor.pubkey` inside
+`build_seal`. The seal's author is the signer's own public key, matching the old
+`finalize` semantics; a signer that does not match the rumor is still caught by
+`open_wrap_at` as `AuthorMismatch` (`cord01.rs:328`). Pre-checking would also
+make it impossible to construct the hostile seals the cord suite relies on as
+test vectors (`cord01.rs` `hostile_wraps_are_dropped_in_order`).
+
+If the repeated `<S as ...>::Error: Error + Send + Sync + 'static` bounds
+become too noisy, the only stable-Rust way to shorten them is an owned
+error-erased trait (as the app already does with
+`crates/state/src/signer.rs:64-138`). That trades precision for brevity; keep
+per-function bounds unless the noise proves unmanageable.
+
+### What must NOT go through the signer
+
+- **Group-key NIP-44.** `cord01::{seal_bytes, open_bytes, wrap_seal,
+  wrap_seal_with, rewrap_seal}` encrypt under a `ConversationKey` derived from
+  HKDF group secrets. `AsyncNip44` can only ECDH against a public key, so group
+  encryption stays on `ConversationKey` / `GroupKey::keys()`.
+- **Wrap signatures.** Wraps are signed by the derived group signer key
+  (`GroupKey::keys()`), not the account.
+- **Locally held raw secrets.** `cord05::{build_bundle_event, build_revocation}`
+  take a generated `link_signer` whose secret the app stores as
+  `signer_sk` (`docs/concord-usage.md:306-321`). `&Keys` is correct there; the
+  app has the secret itself.
+- **Local database artifacts.** `store::{cache_rumor, save_state}` sign with the
+  internal random `LOCAL_KEYS` (`store.rs:18`). No user signer involved.
+
+### Call-site inventory
+
+Account-key sites to migrate:
+
+| Site | Today | After | Bounds |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `cord02::genesis` (`cord02/mod.rs:117`) | `owner: &Keys` | `owner: &S` | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent` |
+| `ControlWriter::{publish, set_*}` (`cord02/mod.rs:214-425`) | `keys: &Keys` | `keys: &S` | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent` |
+| `seal_edition` (`cord02/mod.rs:711`, internal) | `owner: &Keys` | `owner: &S` | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent` |
+| `cord01::build_seal` (`cord01.rs:217`) | `author: &Keys` | `author: &S` | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent` |
+| `cord01::{seal_to_self, open_to_self}` (`:201,209`) | `keys: &Keys` | `&S`, async | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncNip44` |
+| `guestbook::seal_rumor` (`guestbook.rs:186`) | `author: &Keys` | `author: &S` | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent` |
+| `cord03::seal_rumor` (`cord03.rs:295`) | `author: &Keys` | `author: &S` | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent` |
+| `list::build_list_event` (`list.rs:186`) | `keys: &Keys` | `keys: &S` | all three |
+| `list::parse_list_event` (`list.rs:197`) | `keys: &Keys` | `keys: &S` | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncNip44` |
+| `cord05::{build_direct_invite, unwrap_direct_invite}` (`:451,478`) | `inviter`/`recipient: &Keys` | **done** | build: all three (`Sized`); unwrap: `AsyncNip44` (`Sized`) |
+| `cord05::{build_invite_list, parse_invite_list}` (`:593,604`) | `keys: &Keys` | **done** | build: all three; parse: `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncNip44` |
+| `cord06::build_blob` (`:302`) | `rotator: &Keys` | **done** | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncNip44` |
+| `cord06::open_blob` (`:319`) | `recipient: &Keys` | **done** | `AsyncNip44` |
+| `cord06::{build_rekey_chunks, seal_dissolved}` (`:602,737`) | actor `&Keys` | **done** | `AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent` |
+
+Leave unchanged: `cord05::{build_bundle_event, build_revocation}`, all
+`cord01` wrap functions, `GroupKey::keys()`, `store::LOCAL_KEYS`.
+
+### Async ripple and tests
+
+Every migrated function becomes `async`. `smol` is already a dev-dependency of
+concord (`crates/concord/Cargo.toml:21-23`), so affected `#[test]`s become
+`smol::block_on(...)` wrappers. The app's call sites are already async
+background tasks.
+
+### Known constraints
+
+- `GiftWrapBuilder::finalize_async` and `UnwrappedGift::from_gift_wrap_async`
+  are generic over `S: Sized` (no `?Sized`), so those functions must stay
+  generic, never `&dyn`.
+- Every converted `S::Error` must be `Error + Send + Sync + 'static` for the
+  SDK helpers' `Error::other` (`nostr/src/error.rs:100-105`) and for
+  `anyhow`; `Keys::AsyncGetPublicKey::Error = Infallible`,
+  `Keys::AsyncSignEvent::Error = nostr::Error`, `UniversalSignerError`
+  (`crates/state/src/signer.rs:10-32`) all qualify.
+- `AsyncGetPublicKey` is worth requiring alongside `AsyncSignEvent` wherever the
+  author is embedded in the payload: `sign_event` signs the id of the given
+  unsigned event without rewriting its pubkey, so a mismatched signer is only
+  caught later by signature verification.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Migration plan
+
+### Phase 1 — replace `&Keys` with per-function signer bounds (no behavior change) — DONE
+
+1. No new module: change the signatures listed in the inventory table to
+   generics over the SDK traits (`S: AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent`,
+   `S: AsyncSignEvent`, `S: AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncNip44`, or `S: AsyncNip44`).
+2. Migrate the live path only: `cord01::build_seal`, `cord01::{seal_to_self,
+   open_to_self}`, `seal_edition`, `genesis`, `ControlWriter`, `guestbook::
+   seal_rumor`, `cord03::seal_rumor`, `list::{build,parse}_list_event`.
+3. Update `docs/concord-usage.md` examples to take a signer.
+4. Update concord tests to `smol::block_on`; `&Keys` keeps working because it
+   implements all three traits.
+
+Validation: `cargo test -p concord` — 46 passed, 0 failed. The one behavior
+change from the plan sketch is the dropped up-front author check in §1.
+`cord01::{seal_to_self, open_to_self}` now take `&str` and return `String`
+(NIP-44 is UTF-8 text), so the `list` and invite-list callers read the plaintext
+with `serde_json::from_str`.
+
+**Unplanned but forced:** `cord01::{build_seal, seal_to_self, open_to_self}` are
+shared helpers, so the unwired callers had to be migrated in the same pass to
+keep the crate compiling: `cord05::{build_invite_list, parse_invite_list}` and
+`cord06::{build_rekey_chunks, seal_dissolved}` (Phase 3's mechanical part).
+`cord05::{build_direct_invite, unwrap_direct_invite}` and
+`cord06::{build_blob, open_blob}` were untouched by Phase 1 — they use the NIP-59
+and group-key paths, not the migrated helpers — and were migrated in Phase 3.
+
+### Phase 2 — app uses the signer — DONE
+
+1. `sync::create(client, signer, metadata)` (`crates/community/src/sync.rs`) runs
+   `cord02::genesis`, opens the genesis editions, persists the state with
+   `store::save_state`, and also stores the genesis wraps so the control plane
+   folds locally. It is generic over `S: AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent + ?Sized`
+   (the bounds `genesis` needs and no more, per D2); the app passes its
+   `UniversalSigner`, so no secret material is exposed and NIP-46 accounts work
+   too.
+   `CommunityRegistry::create(metadata, cx)` (`crates/community/src/lib.rs`) is
+   the GPUI wrapper: it refuses when no account is signed in, otherwise runs the
+   task off-thread and refreshes tracking, so `sync::load` now returns one state
+   and `subscribe` finally fires.
+2. The app-side reimplementation of `list::parse_list_event`
+   (`crates/community/src/sync.rs:154-156`) is deleted; `load_list` calls the
+   real `cord02::list::parse_list_event`.
+3. Relays in the metadata are persisted but the genesis is **not** published yet;
+   `create` is local-only. Wiring genesis/broadcast through the relay pool is the
+   next app step, not part of this phase.
+
+Validation: `cargo test -p community` (1 passed), `cargo test -p concord`
+(46 passed), `cargo clippy -p community --all-targets`, `cargo fmt -p community
+--check`, and `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` are all clean.
+
+**Deviation from the plan sketch:** the planned "drive `CommunityRegistry`" test
+is instead a `sync`-layer test, `sync::tests::
+creating_a_community_persists_a_state_that_subscribes_and_folds`. A GPUI-level
+test cannot construct a `NostrRegistry` — it opens LMDB at `config_dir()` and
+connects bootstrap relays in `NostrRegistry::new`, which is private and not
+injectable — so the test drives a `Client` on an in-memory database
+(`nostr-memory`, already a dev-dependency) directly. It asserts the whole
+contract the registry depends on: `create` persists a state `load` returns, the
+subscription filter addresses the genesis wraps, `fold` yields the created
+community, and an inbound control edit folds over it.
+
+### Phase 3 — migrate the remaining unwired writers — DONE
+
+`cord05::{build_direct_invite, unwrap_direct_invite}` and
+`cord06::{build_blob, open_blob}` now take a signer. The NIP-59 pair keeps a
+`Sized` `S` (`AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncSignEvent + AsyncNip44` to build,
+`AsyncNip44` to unwrap) because the SDK's `GiftWrapBuilder::finalize_async` and
+`UnwrappedGift::from_gift_wrap_async` are `Sized`-bounded. The blob pair is
+`AsyncGetPublicKey + AsyncNip44` to build and `AsyncNip44` to open, with `?Sized`.
+
+The blobs forced one behavior change, because a signer's NIP-44 is text-only
+(`nip44_encrypt_async(public_key, &str)`) while the blob plaintext is a
+fixed-width binary record. `build_blob` now carries that record base64-encoded
+inside the NIP-44 envelope and `open_blob` decodes it again. The record layout,
+the `locator`, and the envelope are unchanged; only the bytes inside the envelope
+differ. There are no golden vectors for blobs and no producer or consumer other
+than these two functions, so the round-trip stays self-consistent; cord06 remains
+unwired and persists nothing.
+
+Validation: `cargo test -p concord` — 46 passed, 0 failed (the 80-blob
+`a_full_send_chunk_stays_within_a_relay_event` size assertion still holds under
+the base64 record). `cargo clippy -p concord --all-targets` and
+`cargo fmt -p concord --check` are clean.
+
+### Phase 4 — duplication and hygiene (independent, low risk) — DONE
+
+1. DONE — `store::load_states(client)` added (with a direct `store` test), the
+   app-side state-document scan in `sync::load` is gone.
+2. DONE — `store::STATE_PREFIX` is public; the app-side `concord/` literals are
+   gone, and subscription ids reuse the exported prefix.
+3. DONE — the shared rumor tag readers and error live in a new `cords::rumor`
+   module (`RumorError`, `tag`, `required`, `value`, `pubkey`,
+   `optional_citation`), re-exported as `cord03::ChatError` and
+   `cord02::guestbook::GuestbookError`. `cord06` keeps its own narrower
+   `RekeyError`, which the plan scoped out.
+4. RETAINED — none of the "never-varied parameters" were removed. Each is
+   load-bearing for a flow the fold or a writer already implements (D1):
+   - `complete_memberlist`'s `banned_at` is read by the fold and is exercised
+     with a non-empty map by `join_leave_kick_and_snapshot_converge_to_one_memberlist`;
+     `docs/concord-usage.md` already promises to fill it once the banlist head's
+     timestamp is plumbed through.
+   - `cache_rumor -> Result<bool>` is read by `backfill` to drop expired rumors.
+   - `coalesce`'s `snapshot_authority` gates which snapshots apply; passing
+     `None` today is a policy, not a dead parameter.
+   - `seal_rumor(ephemeral)` and the `until` cursors on `backfill`/`query_rumors`
+     select protocol modes and paging.
+5. DONE — tightened `cord04` visibility: `edition_hash`, `fold`, `FoldResult`,
+   `bootstrap_head`, `parse_banlist`, `Role::parse` and `Grant::parse` are no
+   longer `pub`. `HeadSelection` stays `pub` because the public `fold_head`
+   returns it.
+6. DONE — doc drift fixed: the store takes `&Client` throughout (including
+   `load_state`/`load_states`/`query_rumors`, not just the writers), `backfill`
+   arity, `set_pin_list`'s missing `.await`, the GPUI `init` signature and
+   registry names, and the "Not wired up yet" registry bullet.
+
+### Phase 5 — sidebar calls `create` — DONE
+
+The last blocker was that nothing invoked `CommunityRegistry::create`; the
+running app logged `community load: 0 state document(s) found` and `subscribe`
+never ran. The sidebar now:
+
+1. Renders `CommunityRegistry::communities()` instead of the hardcoded
+   `dummy_communities()`. `SidebarRow::Community` carries an `Entity<Community>`,
+   labelled with `Community::name()` (control-fold metadata, falling back to the
+   community id until the first fold).
+2. Adds a "New community" row to the Community section that opens a name prompt
+   and calls `CommunityRegistry::create` with default metadata. Relays stay empty,
+   so the subscription resolves through `ReqTarget::auto` against the pool's
+   relays rather than a manual target that `add_relay` might not have connected.
+3. Observes the registry, so a `track` or fold re-render reaches the list, and
+   subscribes to `CommunityEvent::Error`, which is now logged
+   (`log::error!("community: {error}")`) instead of vanishing. A `cx.notify()` in
+   the registry's per-community observer propagates the fold that fills in the
+   name.
+
+Validation: `cargo check -p workspace -p community --all-targets`,
+`cargo test -p community` (1 passed), `cargo clippy -p workspace -p community
+--all-targets`, and `cargo fmt -p workspace -p community --check` are clean.
+
+Still local-only: the genesis is persisted but not published to relays, so a
+second account cannot discover the community yet.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Retained-by-decision surface (reference only)
+
+Per D1 these stay, but they should be understood as unwired, not live:
+
+| Module | Approx. prod LOC | App use |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `cord06` rotation/refounding/dissolution | ~850 | none |
+| `cord05` invites/links/direct/list | ~650 | none (types only, via unused `list::join_material`) |
+| `cord04::pins` | ~550 | none |
+| `cord03` write path + `fold` + `plane_keys` | ~340 | only `open` / `expiration_of` |
+| guestbook / list write paths | ~240 | `open`, `coalesce`, `complete_memberlist`, `is_live` |
+| `store` paging / purge / query / load_state(s) | ~180 | `cache_rumor`, `save_state`, `load_states` |
+
+Truly unreferenced even by tests (safe candidates, but kept per D1):
+`CommunityInvite::expired`, `GroupKey::pk_hex`, `From<[u8; 32]>` impls,

+## 4. Non-goals
+
+- No mass deletion of unwired modules (D1).
+- No changes to frozen HKDF derivations, locators, golden vectors, or `cord01`
+  envelope semantics. The one exception Phase 3 forced is the blob plaintext
+  encoding (base64 inside the envelope, see Phase 3); the blob record layout and
+  `locator` are untouched.
+- No group-key encryption through the signer.
+- Tests move only alongside the code they cover.
+
+## 5. Validation
+
+- `cargo test -p concord` after each phase; `cargo test --workspace` before
+  landing.
+- Phase 1 is behavior-preserving: the existing cord test suite is the oracle.
+- Phase 2 adds the app-level test: seed a `CommunityState` via
+  `store::save_state`, drive `CommunityRegistry`, assert a subscription is made
+  and an inbound wrap folds into the community.
+- Phase 4: `cargo test -p concord -p community` (47 + 1 passed),
+  `cargo clippy -p concord -p community --all-targets`, and
+  `cargo fmt -p concord -p community --check` are all clean.
+
+## 6. Immediate unblock
+
+Option 2 (the clean path, using `UniversalSigner`) landed in Phase 2. Option 1
+(exposing the local `Keys` from `crates/state/src/lib.rs:254`) is obsolete.

+The publish needs no separate database write: `send_event` persists the event
+locally *before* it resolves targets, so the fragment is available to the
+`concord/list` read path even if every relay is unreachable.
+
+`join_material(&invite, control_root)` makes the §8 material from a CORD-05
+invite; `store::list_entry(state, name)` makes it from a `CommunityState`, and is
+what a write path uses after a create, join or rename. `joined` and `tombstoned`
+are the two mutations: both are `community_id`-keyed unions, so neither an append
+nor a leave can lose a membership the other writer has.
+
+The entry is signed by the member's real key and sealed to that same key
+(`seal_to_self`), so only the member's devices read it — a stranger's
+`parse_list_event` fails rather than returning a partial list. Publishing goes to
+the member's **NIP-65 write relays**, the same set the `concord/list`
+subscription resolves for its `author` filter.
+
+Kind `33302` is **addressable and fragmented**: one event per fragment, its `d`
+tag the fragment index in decimal. `frags` in the payload declares how many the
+List has, and `is_complete(held_indices)` answers whether the client has a
+fragment at every index below it. `merge` resolves a `frags` disagreement to the
+larger value. (`13302`, the single-event List, is retired by the spec — a
+replaceable kind cannot fragment.)
+
+The payload's 32-byte values are **unpadded base64url at every depth**, which is
+section-scoped to §8: CORD-05 invites stay hex. The writer re-encodes them on
+every serialization, so its output is always the canonical 43-character spelling;
+the reader also accepts non-zero trailing bits, because the spec's own worked
+example contains them and no reader can tell a mis-encoded named field from a
+correct one. The codec is `utils::base64url` and the wire structs behind the
+List's `Serialize`/`Deserialize` are the only callers, so no other encoding path
+is touched.
+
+Three write-time rules are folded into serialization, so an in-memory document
+and its wire form differ:
+
+- an embedded snapshot omits `community_id` and inherits the entry's;
+- `seed` is omitted when it equals `current`, and its cosmetic fields (`name`,
+  `relays`, each channel's `name`) are overwritten from `current` first, so a
+  rename collapses the snapshots instead of forking them;
+- an entry whose `added_at` does not outrun its tombstone is omitted — the
+  tombstone alone carries the state.
+
 `is_live(&id)` answers joined-versus-left: a tombstone is terminal until a
-strictly newer join outruns it. `fits()` is the write gate — 50 memberships and
+strictly newer join outruns it. `fits()` is the write gate: 50 memberships and
-the NIP-44 size cap, both protocol constants.
+the NIP-44 plaintext cap. The 50 is a stopgap inherited from the retired
+single-event design — §8 has **no membership limit**, its only bound is the
+65,536-byte encoded event, and the real fix is to start a new fragment on write.
+Until that lands, an append onto a List that already spans more than one fragment
+is refused rather than performed against a partial read, because placing a new
+membership needs a repack. The community stays local (`load` keeps a membership
+the List never mentions) and the write is deferred with a warning.
+
+Discovery is a **subscription, not a fetch**: subscribe with
+`Filter::new().kind(Kind::Custom(KIND_COMMUNITY_LIST)).author(my_pk)` and read the
+fragments back out of `client.database()`. The client persists a relay's event
+before it notifies, so a subscription plus a database read loses nothing and
+needs no explicit save. Parse each event with `parse_list_event`, keep the newest
+per `fragment_index`, and `merge` them — reading an incomplete List is safe, since
+a missing fragment is only news not yet heard.
