Previous sticky bar implementation took up vertical space in layout,
making viewport issues worse. Replaced with proper floating action
buttons that don't affect layout.
Changes:
- Remove sticky bar from index.html
- Add FAB container with fixed position (no layout impact)
- Two circular buttons: DM (green) and Contacts (blue)
- position: fixed, right: 16px, top: 80px
- z-index: 900 (lower than offcanvas menu 1045)
- Beautiful gradients and shadows
- Hover/active animations (scale transform)
- Mobile responsive (smaller on <768px)
Features:
- No vertical space taken (fixed position)
- Covered by offcanvas when menu opens (z-index hierarchy)
- Always visible in corner
- Uses navigateTo() for clean navigation
Test scenario:
1. Click FAB buttons (bypass offcanvas menu completely)
2. Navigate to DM / Contact Management
3. Return to main page
4. Check if status bar corruption still occurs
If FABs work: problem is in offcanvas cleanup
If FABs fail: problem is deeper in viewport/layout

Added semi-transparent floating buttons under navbar to test
if viewport corruption is caused by offcanvas menu or navigation itself.
Changes:
- Add floating-test-buttons div in index.html
- Two buttons: DM and Contacts (using navigateTo())
- Sticky position under navbar
- Semi-transparent background with backdrop blur
- Centered layout with gap between buttons
Test scenario:
1. Click floating buttons (bypass offcanvas menu)
2. Navigate to DM / Contact Management
3. Return to main page via Home button
4. Check if status bar is still visible
If floating buttons work correctly:
- Problem is in offcanvas menu cleanup
- Can keep these buttons as permanent quick navigation
If floating buttons also cause corruption:
- Problem is deeper (viewport/layout issue)
- Need different approach

The main page (app.js) was missing viewport recalculation logic
that was already present in dm.js, causing layout corruption when
returning from other pages in PWA mode.
Changes:
- Add viewport recalculation in DOMContentLoaded:
- window.scrollTo(0, 0) - reset scroll position
- window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize')) - trigger reflow
- document.body.offsetHeight - force layout recalculation
- Add pageshow event listener:
- Handles page restoration from browser cache (Back button)
- Recalculates viewport when event.persisted is true
- Add visibilitychange event listener:
- Handles PWA returning from background
- 100ms delay to ensure proper timing
This fixes the issue where:
1. User opens menu on main page
2. Navigates to Contact Management
3. Clicks Home button to return
4. Status bar is hidden under Android system buttons
The viewport wasn't being recalculated after navigation,
leaving the layout with incorrect heights from cached state.

Root cause: Bootstrap offcanvas leaves backdrop/body classes in DOM
when navigating via window.location.href, causing viewport issues.
Changes:
- Remove hamburger menu button from DM navbar (caused overflow)
- Reduce menu button icon size on channels (remove font-size override)
- Add global navigateTo() function in app.js and contacts.js
- Function closes offcanvas, removes backdrops, clears body classes
- Replace all window.location.href calls with navigateTo()
- Updated navigation in: base.html, contacts*.html templates
- Add 100ms delay before navigation to ensure cleanup completes
This fixes the issue where:
1. Opening offcanvas menu on main page
2. Navigating to DM or Contact Management
3. Returning to main page
Results in corrupted viewport with hidden status bar

- Both navbars now have 3 elements: back/brand, dropdown, menu button
Unify message input area:
- Disable textarea resize on both pages (resize: none)
- Unify input font-size on mobile (0.9rem)
- Unify form padding on mobile (0.5rem)
- Unify border-radius for send buttons
Unify message bubbles:
- Set DM message max-width to 70% (same as channels)

- Remove explicit font-size from DM bubbles (inherit default)
- Unify animation duration: 0.3s
Unify selectors:
- Apply same mobile styles to both #channelSelector and #dmConversationSelector
PWA fixes:
- Move safe-area handling from inline styles to main CSS
- Apply safe-area-inset-bottom globally for both pages
- Remove duplicate inline styles from dm.html
This should fix the Android PWA viewport issue where the bottom bar
gets hidden under system navigation after navigating to DM page.

Testing revealed that meshcli's remove_contact command only works
with contact names, not with public keys (neither prefix nor full key).
Example test results:
- remove_contact bd030a71e091 → Unknown contact
- remove_contact bd030a71e091b14e...f7a → Unknown contact
- remove_contact "Progres-SLU-Lubsza-test" → SUCCESS
Changed frontend to send contact name as selector.
Problem:
- meshcli's remove_contact command requires full public key
- We were sending only 12-char prefix, causing 'Unknown contact' errors
- Contacts appeared in list but couldn't be deleted
Solution:
- API now includes full_public_key in /api/contacts/detailed response
- Frontend uses full_public_key when available, falls back to prefix
- Added detailed logging to track deletion attempts
This fixes the issue where contacts (especially with last_seen=4)
could not be removed from the device.
The cleanupBtn element only exists on the contact management page,
not on the main chat page. This was causing JavaScript to crash
with 'cannot access property addEventListener of null' error,
preventing messages from loading.
Added null check before attaching event listener.
Add comprehensive "last seen" tracking for all contact types:
Backend (cli.py):
- New function get_contacts_with_last_seen() using 'apply_to t=1,t=2,t=3,t=4 contact_info'
- Fetches detailed contact metadata including last_advert timestamps
- Returns dictionary indexed by full public_key for efficient lookup
API (api.py):
- Enhanced /api/contacts/detailed endpoint to merge last_seen data
- Matches contacts by public_key_prefix (first 12 chars)
- Graceful fallback if detailed fetch fails (contacts still displayed without last_seen)
Frontend (contacts.js):
- formatRelativeTime() - converts Unix timestamps to human-readable format
("5 minutes ago", "2 hours ago", "3 days ago")
- getActivityStatus() - returns status indicator based on recency:
🟢 Active (< 5 min), 🟡 Recent (< 1 hour), 🔴 Inactive (> 1 hour)
- Contact cards now display "Last seen" with status icon and relative time
- Clean handling of missing last_seen data (shows "Unknown")
This feature helps users identify active vs. inactive contacts at a glance,
using the last_advert field from meshcli's contact_info command.

Compact Manual Approval and Pending Contacts sections to give more
space for Existing Contacts list, which is the primary focus.
Changes to Manual Approval section:
- Convert from full section to single-line compact control

Fixed mobile browser viewport height issues where status bar and hint text were hidden:
CSS changes:
- Use 'height: 100dvh' (dynamic viewport height) for mobile browsers
- Fallback to '100vh' for older browsers
- Added 'min-height: 0' to main flex container (critical for flex children)
HTML changes:
- Added 'viewport-fit=cover' to meta tag (notched displays)
- Improved flexbox structure in index.html
- Added inline 'min-height: 0' on flex-grow-1 row (prevents overflow)
The 'dvh' unit dynamically adjusts to browser chrome (URL bar) visibility,
preventing layout shifts when scrolling on mobile. The min-height: 0 fix
ensures flex children properly shrink when needed.
This should fix the issue where bottom status bar disappears on mobile
and top navbar disappears after sending a message.
