1. Message-info popup: ONE scroll region for the whole list with sticky
Seen / Not-seen headers (was a separate scrollbar per section), realigned.
2. Group message notifications now title = GROUP name, body = "Sender: text".
3. Unread taskbar badge: solid red rounded-square (Teams-style) + white outline
instead of the gradient disc.
4. Pasting Excel/Sheets cells no longer uploads a screenshot — when the clipboard
carries real text, the text is pasted; image-only clipboards still upload.
5. Spell check in the message box (red squiggles) with a right-click menu of
corrections + add-to-dictionary; spellcheck enabled on the textarea.

1. Notifications/messages lagged when the desktop window was backgrounded —
Electron throttles hidden renderers by default, stalling the chat WS's
onmessage + timers. Set backgroundThrottling:false → real-time in the tray.
(Transport is WebSocket; no Firebase needed.)
2. Joining a call via the header Join button left the Join/Decline invite popup
on screen — enterMeeting now dismisses the invite (and stops the ring).
3. Seen-by is now "Message info": real contact DPs, a "Not seen yet" list for
groups, and dark lettering (white-on-pastel initials were invisible).
4. App-icon unread badge: red→pink gradient pill with a white ring + shadow,
drawn at 2x, instead of a flat red disc.

Root cause of the persistent "notification opens a dead page / no Join" bug:
openFromNotif gated the in-place open on `window.ME`, but ME is declared with
`let` — which never creates a global property — so window.ME was ALWAYS
undefined and every click hit the full-page-reload fallback. Use bare `ME`.
Also:
- Notifications fire instantly: never block on the DP download. Use the photo
only if already cached; warm the cache in the background + pre-warm all
contact DPs on chat load (precache-avatars IPC). Removes the ~2.5s lag.
- Wire call Join/Decline handlers BEFORE firing the OS notification so Join is
live the instant the invite popup appears (was dead until the toast settled).

- Custom branded screen/window picker (picker.html) — useSystemPicker was
silently no-op on Win11 and auto-shared the primary display with no choice.
- Use checkForUpdates (not ...AndNotify): drops electron-updater's own native
"Update ready" toast that duplicated our in-app banner (two restart prompts).
- Call notification DP: wait up to 2.5s for the caller photo on persistent
(call) toasts instead of 600ms so the DP actually shows.
- Re-surface Join/Decline invite when opening a chat with an active incoming
call, so a call-notification click always lands on a joinable call.

- #2: 'Seen by' opens an on-screen popup listing readers (was a flash toast).
- #5: the DM contact-info view now shows the DP; clicking it previews full-size.
- Desktop notifications: cache DPs per-sender (fast AND with photo after the first);
removed timeoutType:'never' which added an unwanted 'Close' button.
- Update flow: dropped the unbranded native restart dialog — the branded web banner
handles Restart. Banner text clearer ('Downloading update…'), plus an update
indicator that cascades profile 'i' badge → Settings → version line, with the
Settings button becoming 'Restart now' when the update is downloaded. desktop 0.1.7.

- Desktop notifications were slow (~15s), vanished in ~1s, and clicks did nothing:
* don't block the toast on the avatar download (race a 600ms cap) → shows instantly
* keep a strong reference to each Notification (Electron GC'd them → premature close
+ dead click)
* call invites use timeoutType:'never' + a 45s window so they stay until clicked/ended;
web marks call notifications persistent.
- #9: enable the OS screen/window PICKER (useSystemPicker) so users choose what to share
(a single window avoids the whole-screen mirror); falls back to primary display.
- desktop 0.1.5 -> 0.1.6.

- Settings now shows 'Biz Connect for Desktop · Version x.y.z' with a Check for
updates button (desktop only, feature-detected).
- preload exposes checkForUpdates(); main.js adds the check-updates IPC (returns
available/current/dev/error) and, when a build finishes downloading, shows a
Restart now / Later dialog instead of only the silent on-next-launch install.
- desktop version bumped 0.1.4 -> 0.1.5.

- Message actions (reply/react/edit/delete) consolidated into ONE hover pill anchored to the
bubble's top-right, overlapping it so on short messages the icons no longer float off into
empty space and vanish before you can click.
- Desktop toast + mobile(FCM)/web-background push now show the sender's real DP:
* renderer passes the DP URL through; desktop shell downloads it for the toast icon
(canvas-drawing an external DP tainted it → initials). Desktop bumped to 0.1.4.
* DM push payload carries icon=sender avatar; sw.js already uses it (web background),
sendFcm sets notification.image (Android).

Live presence (fixes stale in-call/status until refresh — impossible in apps):
- server broadcasts a user's status over the chat socket on connect/disconnect, call
join/leave, and status change (chat.js broadcastPresence; signaling + routes hooks).
- client onPresence() updates the contact dot + open-chat header live.
Chat delivery ticks (#6): chat-list row now mirrors the thread (delivered→double grey,
read→blue) via a new 'with' field on the delivered relay + onChatRead/onChatDelivered.
Call fixes: no bogus 'host handed over' when a 1:1 call ends (leaveMeeting forced);
branded call-connecting + chat-thread loaders; header subtitle tracks live call state.
Notifications: web notify + sw.js use sender/group DP + brand icon (not old wordmark);
desktop shell drops Web Push so only the single native toast fires (#5).
Brand: master icon/splash/loaders wired everywhere (PWA/favicon/apple-touch/.ico),
branded login (blue + gold CTA), branded toasts (BZToast) on all pages, Electron splash.
Desktop: dev auto-targets localhost (packaged→prod); version 0.1.3 with new multi-size
icon; dropped unused node-notifier; removed home-mockup.html.

- node-notifier's WindowsToaster forwards raw opts to SnoreToast, so inject -tb (reply box)
+ -p (image). Reuses its named-pipe + result parsing (exit 5 = TextEntered). No pwsh needed.
Logs the raw toast result to userData/toast-debug.log to confirm the reply field on real HW.
- home.html: notifAvatarDataUrl draws the DM sender's pic / group's DP (else colored initials)
to a round PNG and passes it as the toast image. Reply -> sendReplyTo; click -> open chat.
- dropped powertoast (ESM + needs pwsh 7, absent here). build batch22.

Reply to a chat straight from the OS notification, no app switch:
- node-notifier (bundles SnoreToast) renders a native Windows toast with a reply box —
Electron's own Notification can't do Windows inline reply.
- main.js reply-notification handler resolves {text}|{open}|null; preload exposes replyNotify.
- home.html notify() routes chat toasts through it on desktop: a typed reply -> sendReplyTo()
POSTs to /api/messages without opening the app; a click opens the chat. Web/PWA path unchanged.
- Works only in the installed app (needs the installer's AppUserModelID). desktop 0.1.2, build batch21.

- home.html: login is now a real <form> with a submit button, so Enter (or click) both
submit natively — replaces the ad-hoc keydown handler. (build batch19; header stays removed)
- desktop/main.js: app.setAppUserModelId('com.bizgaze.connect.desktop') so Windows resolves
the installed shortcut and toasts read "Biz Connect" instead of "electron.app.BizConnect".
- desktop version → 0.1.1; installer rebuilt.

- package.json build config: NSIS installer, app icon, generic publish provider →
https://remote.bizgaze.com/downloads/ (self-hosted update feed).
- main.js: electron-updater checks the feed on launch + every 6h, downloads in the
background, installs on restart. Active only in packaged builds.
- build/icon.ico app icon; PACKAGING.md documents build/release/signing.
- Key design: web/UI changes reach installed apps instantly (they load the live server);
only native shell changes need an auto-updated build.
