- A chip shows the active date range with an **×** button to clear it
### Encrypted Search Cache (P4-8, opt-in)
Persistent local index for encrypted-room search, so coverage survives page reloads instead of requiring re-pagination + re-decryption every session.
- Raw IndexedDB (`lotus-search-cache`): message rows keyed `[roomId, eventId]` + per-room coverage markers; merged into local search results with in-memory-wins dedupe
- **Opt-in, default OFF** (it stores decrypted text at rest): toggle + "Clear cached index" live in the search panel's Encrypted Rooms section, with the privacy note "Stores decrypted text on this device"
- Always wiped on logout; any IndexedDB error degrades to a cache-miss (never breaks search)
- Files: `src/app/utils/searchCache.ts`, `src/app/state/searchCacheEnabled.ts`, `features/message-search/useLocalMessageSearch.ts`
### Math / LaTeX Rendering (P4-4)
KaTeX-rendered math in messages, two paths:
- **Spec path (CS-API §11.5):** `<span/div data-mx-maths="…">` in `formatted_body` renders the attribute's LaTeX (block for div, inline for span); on render failure the element's child fallback content shows instead
- **Plain-text path:** `$…$` (inline) and `$$…$$` (block) with conservative rules — escape-aware (`\$`), currency-guarded (`$5 and $10` stays text), never inside `code`/`pre`
- KaTeX + its CSS load lazily on first math encountered — zero cost to the main bundle

## Threads (P3-8)
Full threaded-conversation support (`m.thread`, matrix-js-sdk `threadSupport`), Element-consistent.
### Thread Panel
A right-side drawer (mirrors the members drawer; fullscreen on mobile) with the thread's root message emphasized at top, an "N replies" divider, the full reply timeline (virtualized, back-paginates via `/relations`, decrypts E2EE threads), reactions/edits/redactions, and its own composer. Open it from **Reply in Thread** in the message menu, a reply's thread indicator, or a summary chip; close with **×** or Escape. Reading the panel sends threaded read receipts so per-thread unread counts clear.
### Summary Chips
Root messages in the main timeline show a **"N replies · time"** chip (server-aggregated `m.thread` bundle, or the live Thread once loaded) with an unread badge — threaded replies no longer render inline in the main timeline, so the chip is how conversations stay discoverable.
### Thread Composer
The panel embeds the full composer (uploads, emoji, stickers, GIFs, voice, location, polls) with drafts, reply state, and upload queues **isolated per thread** (`roomId::threadRootId` keys). Replies-to-replies produce spec-correct `m.thread` + `m.in_reply_to` (`is_falling_back: false`). Scheduling and slash commands are disabled inside threads (v1).
### Under the Hood
- `threadSupport: true` (startClient) partitions thread events into SDK `Thread` timelines; markAsRead sends **unthreaded** receipts so room badges keep clearing
- Pending sends render via a `LocalEchoUpdated` strip (chronological local echo never enters thread timelineSets)
- Deep links to thread events redirect into the panel
- Files: `features/room/thread/*`, `state/room/thread.ts`, `hooks/useThreadSummary.ts` (+35 tests across the stack)

The `encUrlPreview` setting defaults to `true` rather than `false`. A security advisory chip in **Settings → Privacy** explains the tradeoff (the homeserver can see which URLs are being previewed) so users can make an informed choice.
### Hardened Session Storage (N97 partial, 2026-07)
The session persists as ONE atomic `cinny_session_v1` JSON write (previously ~10 separate localStorage keys written non-atomically). Reads prefer the blob with transparent migration from the legacy keys (dual-written one release for rollback). Cross-tab sync: logging out or in from one tab reloads the others so no tab runs with stale credentials. `state/sessions.ts` (22 tests), `hooks/useSessionSync.ts`.
### Crypto Diagnostics (E2EE investigation kit)
**Settings → Developer Tools → Crypto Diagnostics**: a capture-only ring buffer (max 200) hooks `console.warn/error` for E2EE failure signatures (OTK upload conflicts, missing call media keys, decryption errors, delayed-event timeouts) and downloads a JSON report — the evidence input for the KE-1→4 investigation. Companion runbook: [`LOTUS_E2EE_INVESTIGATION.md`](./LOTUS_E2EE_INVESTIGATION.md). `utils/cryptoDiagLog.ts`, `features/settings/developer/CryptoDiagnostics.tsx`.

### [ ] P3-8 · Thread Panel (full side drawer)
### [~] P3-8 · Thread Panel (full side drawer) — IMPLEMENTED (2026-07), ⚠️ AWAITING LIVE QA
**⚠️ LARGEST FEATURE — 🟢 DESIGN COMPLETE (2026-07), READY FOR ITS OWN EXECUTION SESSION.** The full architecture (SDK-evidence-backed decisions, file inventory, 4-agent partition, risks, verification checklist) is in the Implementation Reference section below — no further planning needed, just a dedicated build session.
Built per the design below (4-agent build + 2-agent review). Gates green (tsc/eslint/build/tests). **Release note: threaded replies no longer render inline in the main timeline — roots show a "N replies" chip that opens the panel.**
**Manual QA checklist (post-deploy):**
1. Reply in Thread (message menu) → panel opens; send text/upload/emoji into it (appears pending → confirmed)
2. Reply to a reply inside the panel → event carries `m.thread` + `m.in_reply_to` with `is_falling_back:false`
3. Main timeline: root + chip only (replies absent); chip count/time updates live; unread badge appears for others' thread replies and clears after viewing the panel
4. Room badge clears via normal markAsRead even with unread threads (unthreaded receipt)
5. Reload: partitioning persists; encrypted-room threads decrypt (back-pagination too)
6. Escape / × closes; mobile = fullscreen panel; switching rooms and back restores the open thread
**What:** A right-side drawer for threaded conversations. Currently "Reply in Thread" exists but there is no panel to read or write thread replies.

**What:** Per-thread notification toggle: "All messages" vs "Mentions only". Accessible from the thread panel header. Tracks unread counts separately per thread.
**[AUDIT REQUIRED]** — Implement after Thread Panel. Requires understanding how the SDK tracks per-thread unread counts.
**Complexity:** Medium (after thread panel exists).
