**Category:** improvement **User Impact:** Buzz channel, message, repository, pull request, and issue links now display recognizable context and navigate reliably in the mobile app. **Problem:** Bare Buzz permalinks appeared as raw or ambiguous URLs on mobile, while channel and message links were not handled consistently across Markdown forms and startup states. **Solution:** Normalize eligible bare Buzz URLs without consuming Markdown syntax, render them as semantic icon-prefixed chips, and route channel/message targets through the mobile deep-link dispatcher while preserving authored Markdown labels as ordinary links. <details> <summary>File changes</summary> **mobile/lib/features/channels/deep_link_dispatcher.dart** Routes parsed channel and message links through the appropriate in-app navigation callbacks. **mobile/lib/features/channels/message_content.dart** Presents all bare Buzz permalinks as semantic icon chips and keeps authored labels as ordinary links. **mobile/lib/features/channels/message_content/link_normalizer.dart** Normalizes bare and autolinked Buzz URLs without consuming Markdown delimiters, code, or punctuation. **mobile/lib/shared/deeplink/deep_link.dart** Adds strict channel and project-entity parsing alongside message deep links. **mobile/lib/shared/deeplink/pending_deep_link_provider.dart** Preserves pending navigation until the mobile routing surface is ready. **mobile/test/features/channels/channel_detail_page_test.dart** Updates navigation integration coverage for icon-prefixed channel chips. **mobile/test/features/channels/deep_link_dispatcher_test.dart** Covers channel/message dispatch and missing-target behavior. **mobile/test/features/channels/message_content/link_normalizer_test.dart** Exercises Markdown-safe normalization across the full Buzz link suite. **mobile/test/features/channels/message_content_test.dart** Verifies chip labels, icons, semantics, authored-label opt-out, and navigation callbacks. **mobile/test/shared/deeplink/deep_link_test.dart** Covers strict parsing for channel, message, repository, pull-request, and issue links. </details> ## Reproduction steps 1. Run the mobile app and open a channel containing bare `buzz://channel`, `buzz://message`, `buzz://repo`, `buzz://pr`, and `buzz://issue` URLs. 2. Confirm each bare URL renders as one cohesive chip with a type icon, a useful name or shortened identifier, and no duplicated channel `#` character. 3. Add an authored Markdown link such as `[design discussion](buzz://issue?...)` and confirm the supplied label remains an ordinary link rather than becoming a chip. 4. Select channel and message links and confirm they navigate correctly from inline and autolinked forms. ## Screenshots / demos **iOS Simulator — channel, message, repository, pull request, and issue permalink chips** Real app build (`37b2cb5eb`) running on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator.  --------- Signed-off-by: Taylor Ho <taylorkmho@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Wes <wesbillman@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Carl <acda9e433d19dcd0e6b6840f7f4b98f3a56f1fab98049d444c087019e6d36560@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Wes <wesbillman@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Carl <c7ebe626f000404285d3686e1dc74cc07cc60a9754a150041ba132e14bd3e2ec@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz>
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.

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.
