"**The discovery list stops showing ghosts.** Every reinstall of a node mints a new discovery identity, and the old identity's announcement could never be removed from the public relays — nothing holds its key anymore — so the \"Discoverable nodes\" list slowly filled with entries that led nowhere. Announcements now expire: your node re-announces itself twice a day, each announcement carries a 48-hour expiry that relays honour, anything older than that is ignored when reading, and switching discovery off — or factory-resetting the node — actively overwrites the announcement before it can become a ghost. Old ghosts from earlier versions stop being shown immediately and age off the relays on their own.",
"**You can name your node when you make it discoverable.** Turning discovery on now asks for an optional display name — it travels inside the public announcement, so other nodes' discovery lists show \"Dorian's basement node\" instead of a bare npub. The name is public by construction, capped at 32 characters, and blank is fine: you list as npub only. Toggling discovery off and on remembers the name; you can clear it the same way you set it.",
"**The discoverability panel now shows what the network actually sees: your node's npub.** It previously showed your Tor address — which is precisely the thing the announcement never contains (your address stays private until you approve a peer). The npub, the identity other nodes discover you by and send peering requests to, is now displayed there with a copy button.",
"**The seed screen stops flashing while the node starts.** During first boot, the lock icon and \"server starting\" text blinked in and out every few seconds while the node came up — each silent retry briefly emptied the screen. The waiting state now holds steady, with its elapsed timer, until the node answers.",
"**A node that already has an identity now explains itself on the seed screen.** Reaching seed creation on a provisioned node used to surface a developer message about \"the authenticated system.factory-reset\". It now says what you can actually do: sign in normally, or factory-reset the node from Settings to start it over.",
"Known gaps, disclosed rather than buried: three voice-assistant ports remain open without authentication. Non-browser clients — phone apps for Vaultwarden, Home Assistant or Jellyfin, and git over the web — meet the login page and need an access token. The 5x real-node lifecycle gate was not run for this release; the changes were verified by operator UAT on a live node."
