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

Unify navbar:
- Add menu button to DM navbar (same icon as channels) for consistent height
- 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)
- Unify padding: 0.75rem 1rem (same as channels)
- Unify max-width on mobile: 85% for both
- 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.

- **Security**: Proper XSS protection with HTML escaping and attribute sanitization
Technical implementation:
- Created shared message-utils.js module for content processing
- Added CSS styles for badges, links, images, and modal preview
- Updated both app.js and dm.js to use new content processor
- Used event delegation for image click handlers to support dynamic content

Replaces the blind 60-second refresh with a smart polling system that only updates the UI when new messages actually arrive.
Key improvements:
- Lightweight update checks every 10 seconds (vs full refresh every 60s)
- Chat view refreshes only when new messages appear on active channel
- Notification bell with global unread count across all channels
- Per-channel unread badges in channel selector (e.g., "Malopolska (3)")
- Last-seen timestamp tracking per channel with localStorage persistence
- Bell ring animation when new messages arrive
Backend changes:
- New /api/messages/updates endpoint for efficient update polling
- Returns per-channel update status and unread counts
Frontend changes:
- Smart auto-refresh mechanism with conditional UI updates
- Unread message tracking system with localStorage
- Notification bell UI component with badge
- Channel selector badges for unread messages
- CSS animations for bell ring effect
This dramatically reduces network traffic and server load while providing better UX through instant notifications about activity on other channels.

Improve UI layout on mobile devices (screens < 768px):
Navbar optimizations:
- Hide "Refresh" text on mobile, show only icon to save space
- Reduce gap between navbar elements (0.25rem instead of 0.5rem)
- Decrease min-width for channel/date selectors (80px vs 120px/150px)
- Smaller font-size (0.75rem) and padding for select elements
- Compact button sizes (0.25rem padding)
Modal optimizations:
- Reduce modal margins (0.5rem) for better mobile fit
- Smaller modal-body padding (0.75rem)
- Compact channel keys with smaller font (0.65rem) and word-break
- Reduce list-group-item padding (0.5rem)
- Stack "Add New" and "Join Existing" buttons vertically on very small screens (<400px)
Files changed:
- app/static/css/style.css: Added mobile-specific CSS rules in @media query
- app/templates/base.html: Wrapped "Refresh" text in <span class="btn-text">
Testing: Verified on mobile viewport (iPhone, Android simulators)

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.

Improved mobile user experience:
- Shortened hint text: 'Shift+Enter: new line, Enter: send' (was 'Press Shift+Enter for new line, Enter to send')
- Reduced form padding on mobile (0.5rem instead of default)
- Made status bar more compact on mobile (smaller padding and font)
- Better vertical space utilization on small screens
This should make the status bar visible on mobile devices and improve overall usability on phones.
