First slice of #2216, scoped to the system/status lines in the chat timeline. ## Why Two problems on the same surface. **Clearing a channel topic renders as empty quotes.** The relay reports a clear as a `topic_changed` event carrying an empty string — there's no separate "cleared" event type. So the timeline printed: > Alice > changed the topic to “” which reads as if the topic were *set to* two quote marks. Same for purpose. **The membership caption reads like a headline, not a metadata line.** `title` and `action` render on separate lines — the member's name sits in the header row with the avatar and timestamp, and the caption sits beneath it. So the caption was "was added by Alice Chen" standing alone under a name, while its siblings on that same line are "joined the channel" and "left the channel". ## What - Blank, missing, or whitespace-only topic/purpose now reads **"cleared the channel topic"** / **"cleared the channel purpose"**. - Membership captions drop "was": **"added by Alice Chen"**, matching "joined the channel" and "left the channel". - The wording moves to `lib/systemEventCopy.ts` as a pure function, so it's assertable in a unit test instead of only reachable through the DOM. That also removes two JSX fragments from `SystemMessageRow.tsx`, taking it 911 → 900 lines. ## Two E2E assertions this exposed Both were measuring something other than what they claimed, and the copy change tipped them over. Neither is a product bug, but both would have failed the next person too. 1. **`mentions.spec.ts:1245`** asserted a button was un-underlined while the mouse was still parked from a previous `hover()`. Any reflow — new rows, scroll-to-bottom, a different text wrap — can slide that button under the stationary pointer, so the assertion measured *where the mouse happened to be* rather than the resting style. Dropping four characters changed the text wrap, changed the row height, changed the scroll offset, and the pointer landed on it. Now parks the pointer off-target first. 2. **`mentions.spec.ts:1253`** used a bare `role=tooltip` lookup. Once the first tooltip animates out while the second opens, two elements match and strict mode trips. Now scopes to the open tooltip via `:not([data-state="closed"])`. ## Deliberately out of scope - **Timestamps.** The day divider, per-message clock times, the Inbox thread pane, and the inbox list have three divergent date implementations and none fully match the writing standard's Today/Yesterday/weekday/date progression. That's its own slice of #2216. - **Whose avatar shows.** An addition puts the *added* member in the header; a removal puts the *remover* there. Possibly intentional, but it's a design question, not copy. - **`the channel` vs `this channel`.** joined/left/removed say "the channel"; created/archived/unarchived say "this channel". Worth normalizing, but it touches lines this PR otherwise leaves alone. ## Validation - `pnpm check`, `pnpm typecheck` — clean - Unit: **3781/3781**, including 6 new tests in `systemEventCopy.test.mjs` covering set/blank/undefined/null/whitespace for both fields, plus a guard that no variant can emit empty quotes - Smoke E2E `mentions` + `messaging`: **85/85** - The previously fragile test run with `--repeat-each=5`: **5/5** Signed-off-by: Clay Delk <clay.delk@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Buzz Mobile
Flutter mobile client for Buzz.
Setup
cd mobile
flutter pub get
Run
# From repo root (recommended — starts Docker, relay, and simulator):
just mobile-dev
# Direct (requires services and relay already running):
cd mobile && flutter run
Worktree-aware debug identity
Debug builds produced from a git worktree get a unique app identifier keyed
to the worktree directory name (com.buzz.buzzMobile.<slug> on iOS,
xyz.block.buzz.mobile.<slug> on Android) plus a display-only branch label
in the app name (Buzz (my-branch), or a short SHA when the worktree is
detached). Because the identifier follows the directory rather than the
branch, one worktree keeps exactly one installed app — and its login state —
across branch switches, and builds from multiple worktrees install side by
side, mirroring the desktop dev experience. Release and profile builds
always keep the production identity and name.
just mobile-dev and just mobile-build-android apply this automatically by
running scripts/mobile-worktree-overrides.sh, which writes two gitignored
files:
mobile/ios/Flutter/WorktreeOverrides.xcconfig(included by Debug builds only; a developer'sAppOverrides.xcconfigis included after it, so app-specific overrides like a personalBUNDLE_IDENTIFIERfor device signing always win)mobile/android/worktree.properties(read by the debug build type only)
For direct Xcode / Android Studio / flutter run development, run
./scripts/mobile-worktree-overrides.sh from the repo root once per branch
switch to refresh the display label (the install identity never changes);
the persisted files are then picked up by any subsequent build. In the main
checkout the script is a no-op that removes stale override files, restoring
the plain Buzz identity.
To remove leftover worktree-suffixed installs from booted iOS simulators and
connected Android emulators, run just mobile-clean (add --dry-run via
./scripts/mobile-worktree-clean.sh --dry-run to preview). Production
installs are never touched.
Checks

Or from the repo root: just mobile-check and just mobile-test.
Android release signing
Android release builds fail unless all upload-key inputs are supplied through the environment:
BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_PATH: path to a CI-vended keystore fileBUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_PASSWORDBUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIASBUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD
The keystore path must be absolute, and the keystore must remain outside the repository. Development and debug builds do not require these variables.
Release pipelines that sign through the central APK Signer service instead of
a local upload keystore must set BUZZ_ANDROID_RELEASE_SIGNING=external. That
mode produces an unsigned release bundle and refuses to run if any
BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_* value is also set.
