Fix profile tabs not applying spell filters

Store spell tags (_spellTags) in the profile tab filter when saving from SearchPage or SpellRunPage. ProfileSavedFeedContent detects _spellTags, reconstructs the spell via buildUnsignedSpell(), and renders with useStreamPosts({ spell }) — the same path SpellRunPage uses. Legacy profile tabs without _spellTags continue to use useTabFeed().
Store spell event ID in saved feeds and render via spell mode

+description: Apple Lockdown Mode restrictions and their impact on web APIs inside WKWebView/Safari/WebView. Reference when debugging or building features for lockdown-enabled devices.
+---
+
+# Apple Lockdown Mode
+
+Apple's Lockdown Mode is an opt-in security hardening profile that disables or restricts many web platform APIs inside Safari and WKWebView. Since this app ships inside a Capacitor WKWebView shell, **every restriction that applies to Safari also applies to our app**.
+
+## Platform Availability
+
+Lockdown Mode is available on:
+
+- **iOS 16** or later (iPhone)
+- **iPadOS 16** or later (iPad)
+- **watchOS 10** or later (Apple Watch)
+- **macOS Ventura** or later (Mac)
+
+Additional protections are available starting in iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, and macOS Sonoma.
+
+For full details, see [About Lockdown Mode](https://support.apple.com/en-us/105120) on Apple Support.
+
+## Testing Baseline
+
+This document is based on testing against **iOS 18.7 / Safari 26.4** on an iPhone with Lockdown Mode enabled (April 2026). The web API restrictions documented below apply to Safari and WKWebView across all supported platforms (iOS, iPadOS, and macOS).
+
+## Blocked APIs
+
+These APIs are **completely unavailable** (return `undefined`, `null`, or throw) when Lockdown Mode is active.
+
+| API | Impact | Notes |
+|-----|--------|-------|
+| **IndexedDB** | Critical | `indexedDB` global is missing entirely. Any library that relies on IndexedDB for storage will fail (Dexie, idb, localForage with IndexedDB driver, etc.). |
+| **Service Workers** | High | `navigator.serviceWorker` is absent. No offline caching, no background sync, no push notifications via SW. |
+| **Cache API** | High | `caches` global is absent. Often used alongside Service Workers for offline strategies. |
+| **WebAssembly** | High | `WebAssembly` global is `undefined`. Libraries compiled to WASM (e.g. libsodium-wrappers, secp256k1-wasm, SQLite WASM) will not load. |
+| **Web Locks** | High | `navigator.locks` is absent. Cross-tab coordination patterns that depend on this will break silently. |
+| **WebRTC** | High | `RTCPeerConnection` is absent. No peer-to-peer audio/video/data channels. |
+| **WebGL / WebGL2** | Medium | All canvas `getContext('webgl'*)` calls return `null`. GPU-accelerated rendering, maps (Mapbox GL, deck.gl), and 3D are broken. |
+| **FileReader** | Medium | `FileReader` constructor is absent. Cannot read `Blob`/`File` objects client-side (e.g. image preview before upload). Use the `File` constructor + `URL.createObjectURL()` as a workaround for previews. |
+| **SharedArrayBuffer** | Medium | `SharedArrayBuffer` is `undefined`. May also require COOP/COEP headers on non-lockdown browsers, so this is often already unavailable. |
+| **Speech Synthesis** | Low | `window.speechSynthesis` is absent. Text-to-speech features won't work. |
+| **Notifications API** | Low | `Notification` is absent. Web push permission prompts won't appear. (Capacitor local notifications via the native plugin are unaffected.) |
+| **WebCodecs** | Low | `VideoDecoder` / `VideoEncoder` are absent (`AudioDecoder` remains). Low-level media processing is unavailable. |
+| **Gamepad API** | Low | `navigator.getGamepads` is absent. |
+| **OPFS** | Medium | `navigator.storage.getDirectory` method does not exist. The `navigator.storage` object is present but the Origin Private File System API is stripped. SQLite-over-OPFS and any other OPFS-based storage will fail. |
+| **Web Share API** | Low | `navigator.share` is absent. Use Capacitor's `@capacitor/share` plugin instead -- the native share sheet still works. |
+
+## Available APIs
+
+These APIs **still work** under Lockdown Mode and can be relied on.
+
+| API | Notes |
+|-----|-------|
+| **File constructor** | `new File(...)` works. You can create File/Blob objects. |
+| **FontFace API** | Dynamic font loading via `new FontFace()` succeeds. Remote font fetches may fail with a network error (data URIs rejected). |
+| **JIT compilation** | JavaScript JIT appears active (~110ms for 1M iterations). Performance is not interpreter-level degraded. |
+| **PDF viewer** | `navigator.pdfViewerEnabled` is `true`. Inline `<embed type="application/pdf">` works. |
+| **Cookies** | `navigator.cookieEnabled` is `true`. |
+| **Credential Management** | `navigator.credentials` is available. |
+| **localStorage / sessionStorage** | Standard Web Storage APIs remain functional. |
+
+## Implications for This App
+
+### Storage
+
+- **localStorage works** -- our primary client-side storage (app config, relay lists, etc.) is unaffected.
+- **IndexedDB is gone** -- if any dependency silently uses IndexedDB (e.g. some Nostr caching layers, TanStack Query persisters), it will fail. Ensure all storage paths fall back to localStorage or in-memory.
+- **OPFS is gone** -- `navigator.storage.getDirectory` is stripped (the method doesn't exist, though the `navigator.storage` object itself remains). SQLite-over-OPFS (e.g. wa-sqlite, sql.js with OPFS backend) and any other OPFS-based persistence will not work.
+
+### Cryptography
+
+- **WebAssembly is blocked** -- any WASM-based crypto libraries (secp256k1 compiled to WASM, libsodium WASM builds) will not load. Use pure-JS implementations (e.g. `@noble/secp256k1`, `@noble/hashes`) which are already what nostr-tools uses.
+- **WebCrypto (`crypto.subtle`)** -- not listed as blocked in testing. The SubtleCrypto API should still be available for NIP-44 encryption via the standard Web Crypto path.
+
+### Media & Rendering
+
+- **WebGL is gone** -- map libraries that require WebGL (Mapbox GL JS, Google Maps WebGL renderer) will show blank canvases. Use raster tile alternatives or static map images.
+- **FileReader is gone** -- image/file preview workflows that use `FileReader.readAsDataURL()` need a workaround. Use `URL.createObjectURL(file)` directly for `<img src>` previews instead.
+
+### Communication
+
+- **WebRTC is gone** -- any peer-to-peer features (voice/video calls, WebRTC data channels) are completely unavailable.
+- **Fetch / XMLHttpRequest** -- standard network requests appear unaffected. Relay WebSocket connections should work normally.
+
+### Native Plugin Workarounds
+
+Several blocked web APIs have Capacitor plugin equivalents that bypass WKWebView restrictions entirely:
+
+| Blocked Web API | Capacitor Alternative |
+|---|---|
+| Web Share | `@capacitor/share` (already installed) |
+| Notifications | `@capacitor/local-notifications` (already installed) |
+| File downloads | `@capacitor/filesystem` + share (already implemented in `downloadFile.ts`) |
+
+### Detection
+
+The report used a scoring heuristic (8/12 key APIs blocked = 70%) to detect Lockdown Mode. There is no official API to query Lockdown Mode status. Detection relies on probing for the absence of multiple APIs that are specifically disabled by Lockdown Mode but normally present in Safari.
+
+## Raw Diagnostic Report
+
+For exact error messages, navigator properties, weight scores, and per-API diagnostic output, see [ios-report.txt](ios-report.txt).
+
+## Guidance for Feature Decisions
+
+When building new features, consider:
+
+1. **Always provide pure-JS fallbacks** for any crypto or data-processing library that might ship a WASM build.
+2. **Never depend on IndexedDB or OPFS** as the sole storage mechanism. Both are completely stripped. Always fall back to localStorage or in-memory stores.
+3. **Avoid WebGL-dependent UI** for core functionality. Use it as a progressive enhancement with a CSS/Canvas 2D fallback.
+4. **Use Capacitor plugins** for sharing, notifications, and file operations rather than web APIs -- they work on all native platforms regardless of Lockdown Mode.
+5. **Test on a Lockdown Mode device** when shipping features that touch storage, crypto, or media APIs.

 Author filtering is not needed for public user-generated content where anyone should be able to post (kind 1 notes, reactions, discovery queries, public feeds, etc.).

+#### Sanitizing URLs from Event Data
+
+**CRITICAL**: Any URL extracted from Nostr event tags, content, or metadata fields is **untrusted user input**. Malicious URLs can cause harm in many ways beyond `javascript:` XSS — `data:` URIs for resource exhaustion, `http://` URLs leaking user IPs without TLS, relative paths triggering unintended requests to the app's own origin, and more. Reasoning about which rendering context is "safe enough" to skip sanitization is fragile and error-prone.
+
+**Rule: sanitize every event-sourced URL unconditionally**, regardless of where it will be used (`href`, `img src`, `style`, etc.). Use `sanitizeUrl()` from `@/lib/sanitizeUrl`:
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeUrl } from '@/lib/sanitizeUrl';
+
+// Single URL — returns the normalised href, or undefined if not valid https
+const url = sanitizeUrl(getTag(event.tags, 'url'));
+if (url) {
+  // safe to use in any context
+}
+
+// Array of URLs — filter out invalid entries
+const links = getAllTags(event.tags, 'r')
+  .map(([, v]) => sanitizeUrl(v))
+  .filter((v): v is string => !!v);
+```
+
+`sanitizeUrl` accepts `string | undefined | null` and returns the normalised `href` string only when the URL parses successfully **and** uses the `https:` protocol. All other inputs (malformed URLs, `javascript:`, `data:`, `http:`, relative paths, etc.) return `undefined`.
+
+**Best practice — sanitize at the parse layer.** When writing a parser function that extracts URLs from event tags (e.g. `parseThemeDefinition`, `parseBadgeDefinition`), apply `sanitizeUrl()` before returning the parsed data. This way every downstream consumer is automatically protected without needing to remember to sanitize at each usage site.
+
+**When sanitization is NOT required:**
+- URLs extracted by regex that already constrains the protocol (e.g. `NoteContent` tokeniser matches only `https?://`)
+- Hardcoded or application-generated URLs (relay configs, internal routes, etc.)
+- URLs displayed as plain text without being placed into any HTML attribute or CSS value
+
+#### Preventing CSS Injection from Event Data
+
+**CRITICAL**: Any value from a Nostr event that is interpolated into a CSS string (inside a `<style>` element or inline `style` attribute) is a CSS injection vector. A malicious value containing `"`, `)`, `}`, or `;` can break out of the CSS context and inject arbitrary rules — for example, overlaying phishing content or hiding UI elements.
+
+**Common CSS injection surfaces:**
+- `background-image: url("${url}")` — a URL with `"); body { display:none }` breaks out
+- `font-family: "${family}"` — a family name with `"; } body { visibility:hidden } .x {` breaks out
+- `@font-face { src: url("${url}") }` — same risk as background URLs
+
+**Mitigation strategy — sanitize at the parse layer:**
+
+1. **URLs in CSS `url()` values**: Pass through `sanitizeUrl()` at parse time. The `URL` constructor normalises the string, percent-encoding characters like `"`, `)`, and `\` that could escape the CSS context. Invalid or non-`https:` URLs are rejected entirely. This is already done for theme event background and font URLs in `src/lib/themeEvent.ts`.
+
+2. **Strings in CSS declarations** (e.g. font family names): Use `sanitizeCssString()` from `src/lib/fontLoader.ts`, which uses an allowlist approach — only Unicode letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, underscores, apostrophes, and periods are permitted. Everything else is stripped.
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ UNSAFE — raw event data interpolated into CSS
+const bgUrl = getTagValue(event.tags, 'bg');
+style.textContent = `body { background-image: url("${bgUrl}"); }`;
+
+const family = getTagValue(event.tags, 'f');
+style.textContent = `html { font-family: "${family}"; }`;
+
+// ✅ SAFE — URLs validated, strings sanitised
+import { sanitizeUrl } from '@/lib/sanitizeUrl';
+
+const bgUrl = sanitizeUrl(getTagValue(event.tags, 'bg'));
+if (bgUrl) {
+  style.textContent = `body { background-image: url("${bgUrl}"); }`;
+}
+
+// For non-URL strings, allowlist safe characters only
+const safeFamily = family.replace(/[^\p{L}\p{N} _\-'.]/gu, '');
+style.textContent = `html { font-family: "${safeFamily}"; }`;

 ### The `useNostr` Hook

 The `useNostr` hook returns an object containing a `nostr` property, with `.query()` and `.event()` methods for querying and publishing Nostr events respectively.

 Replaceable (kind 10000-19999) and addressable (kind 30000-39999) events require a read-modify-write cycle: fetch the current event, modify its tags, then publish a new version. **Never read from TanStack Query cache before mutating** -- the cache can be stale from another device or a rapid prior operation, and republishing stale data silently drops the user's data.

-Use `fetchFreshEvent()` from `src/lib/fetchFreshEvent.ts` inside every mutation:
+Use `fetchFreshEvent()` from `src/lib/fetchFreshEvent.ts` inside every mutation, and **always pass the fetched event as `prev`** so `useNostrPublish` can preserve `published_at`:

 ```typescript
 import { fetchFreshEvent } from '@/lib/fetchFreshEvent';

 // Inside a mutation function:
-const freshEvent = await fetchFreshEvent(nostr, {
+const prev = await fetchFreshEvent(nostr, {
  kinds: [10003],
  authors: [user.pubkey],
 });
-const currentTags = freshEvent?.tags ?? [];

+await publishEvent({
+  kind: 10003,
+  content: prev?.content ?? '',
+  tags: newTags,
+  prev: prev ?? undefined,
+});
 ```

 This applies to all list-type hooks (bookmarks, pins, interests, follow sets, badges, etc.). See `useFollowActions` and `useMuteList` for complete examples.

+#### The `prev` Property on Event Templates
+
+`useNostrPublish` accepts an optional `prev` property on the event template. This is the **previous version** of the event being replaced. The hook uses it to automatically manage the `published_at` tag (NIP-24) for replaceable and addressable events:
+
+- **First publish (no `prev`)**: `published_at` is set equal to `created_at`
+- **Update (`prev` provided)**: `published_at` is preserved from the old event
+- **Old event lacks `published_at`**: nothing is fabricated
+- **Caller already set `published_at` in tags**: left alone
+
+**Convention**: Name the local variable `prev` at the call site (not `freshEvent` or `latestEvent`) so it reads naturally when passed to `publishEvent`:
+
+```typescript
+const prev = await fetchFreshEvent(nostr, { kinds: [3], authors: [user.pubkey] });
+// ...
+await publishEvent({ kind: 3, content: prev?.content ?? '', tags: newTags, prev: prev ?? undefined });
+```
+
+`prev` is stripped from the template before signing — it never appears in the published Nostr event.
+
 ### D-Tag Collision Prevention for Addressable Events

 Addressable events (kind 30000-39999) are identified by `pubkey + kind + d-tag`. Publishing an event with the same d-tag as an existing one **silently replaces** it. This is by design for intentional updates (edit flows), but dangerous when creating *new* content with user-derived d-tags (slugs from titles, user-entered identifiers, etc.).

+# Contributing to Ditto
+
+We welcome contributions, but we have high standards. Ditto is a carefully designed product with a specific vision, and every merge request must meet that bar. This guide exists to help you succeed.
+
+**Required reading before you start:**
+
+- [Ditto Philosophy](https://about.ditto.pub/philosophy) -- the product vision. Your change must align with it.
+- [Contributing Guide](https://about.ditto.pub/contributing) -- the upstream contribution process.
+- `AGENTS.md` in this repo -- the codebase conventions. Your AI tool should load this file.
+
+## Understanding Ditto
+
+Ditto is a carnival, not a platform. Before contributing, you need to understand what that means.
+
+### The product decision filter
+
+Every change to Ditto should pass this test:
+
+> *Does this make Ditto more magnetic, more threatening to the status quo, and more peaceful to inhabit?*
+
+- **Magnetic** -- Ditto attracts through experience, not ideology. People don't need to understand Nostr to love it. They need to feel something they haven't felt online since the early web. Features should be odd, intriguing, and captivating -- not generic social media clones.
+- **Threatening to the status quo** -- Ditto threatens mainstream platforms when someone opens it and thinks: *"Why can't my platform do this?"* Theming, games, treasure hunts, interoperable micro-apps -- these are things walled gardens can't replicate.
+- **Peaceful to inhabit** -- Ditto displaces argument with creation, conformity with expression, and consumption with participation. No ads, no engagement-optimized algorithms, no outrage incentives.
+
+If a change does all three, it belongs. If it only does one, think harder. If it does none, it doesn't belong here.
+
+### What Ditto is NOT
+
+- A Twitter/X clone with decentralization bolted on
+- A place to replicate features that mainstream platforms already do well
+- A showcase for generic UI components or boilerplate social features
+
+### What Ditto IS
+
+- A convergence point for interoperable Nostr experiences (games, treasure hunts, magic decks, themes, color moments, live streams, and things nobody has imagined yet)
+- A place where profiles feel like worlds, not business cards
+- The most fun you've had on the internet in years
+
+Read the [full philosophy](https://about.ditto.pub/philosophy) for the complete vision.
+
+## What we accept
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+One bug, one merge request. Fix exactly one thing. Don't bundle unrelated changes, don't sneak in refactors, don't "clean up while you're in there." Small, focused MRs get reviewed fast. Large ones sit.
+
+### New features and significant changes
+
+Every feature MR must link to an existing open issue and clearly align with the [Ditto Philosophy](https://about.ditto.pub/philosophy). The philosophy alignment section in the MR template is where you make the case for why your change belongs in Ditto. If you can't articulate that clearly, the change probably doesn't belong.
+
+If you have an idea for a feature that doesn't have an issue yet:
+
+1. Build it as a standalone Nostr app first (see [Contributing Guide](https://about.ditto.pub/contributing)).
+2. Prove it works and get user feedback.
+3. Open an issue to discuss integration.
+
+**Feature MRs that don't link to an issue or don't align with the Ditto Philosophy will be closed.** Our open issues are our internal roadmap -- some require deep product context. If your implementation doesn't match the product vision, it will be closed regardless of code quality.
+
+## Required tools
+
+- **Claude Opus 4.6** (or the latest frontier model) -- not Sonnet, not GPT-4o, not local models. Quality depends on model quality.
+- **An AI coding agent with plan/research mode** -- [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai), [Shakespeare](https://shakespeare.diy), Cursor, or similar.
+- **Node.js 22+** and npm 10.9.4+.
+
+## The contribution workflow
+
+Follow these steps in order. Skipping steps is the most common reason MRs are rejected.
+
+### 1. Ask: does anyone need this?
+
+Before writing a single line of code, answer this honestly. For bug fixes this is straightforward -- someone hit the bug. For features, it requires more thought. Is there evidence of real user demand? Is the underlying technology mature enough? A beautifully written feature for a nonexistent user base is the wrong thing to build. If you can't point to a concrete user need, reconsider.
+
+### 2. Understand the issue
+
+Read the issue thoroughly. If anything is unclear, ask in the issue comments before writing code. Understand not just *what* to change, but *why* -- what problem does this solve for users?
+
+### 3. Read the codebase conventions
+
+Read `AGENTS.md` in the repo root. This is the single source of truth for how code should be written in this project. Your AI tool should load this file automatically. If it doesn't, paste it in or configure your tool to read it.
+
+### 4. Read the philosophy
+
+Read the [Ditto Philosophy](https://about.ditto.pub/philosophy). Ditto is a carnival, not a platform. Your change should feel like it belongs in Ditto -- not like it was transplanted from a generic social media template. Apply the product decision filter above.
+
+### 5. Plan before you code
+
+Start your AI tool in **plan mode** (or research/think mode). Spend the first few prompts:
+
+- Exploring the existing codebase to understand how similar features are implemented
+- Reading the files you'll need to modify
+- Proposing an approach
+
+Do not write code until you have a plan. The most expensive mistake is implementing the wrong approach.
+
+### 6. Implement
+
+Switch to code mode and implement your plan. Use Opus 4.6 or equivalent.
+
+### 7. Run the test suite
+
+```sh
+npm run test
+```
+
+This runs type-checking, linting, unit tests, and a production build. All must pass. Do not submit an MR with a failing test suite.
+
+### 8. Self-review
+
+Run this prompt against your diff (copy the full `git diff` output and paste it to your AI tool along with this prompt):
+
+```
+Review this diff as if you are a senior maintainer of this codebase who has to
+maintain it long-term. For each finding, state the file, line, and issue.
+
+- [ ] Does the diff contain changes that weren't requested? Flag anything out of scope.
+- [ ] Is there dead code, commented-out blocks, or debug artifacts left in?
+- [ ] Are there placeholder comments like "// In a real app..." or "// TODO: implement"?
+- [ ] For every value displayed to a user, can you trace it from source to render without a gap?
+- [ ] Are error, loading, and empty states all handled -- and in the right order?
+- [ ] Does a mutation reflect in the UI without requiring a manual refresh?
+- [ ] Is there a new read/write path that assumes fresh data but could get a stale cache?
+- [ ] For replaceable/addressable Nostr events: is fetchFreshEvent used before mutation?
+- [ ] Does anything new block the critical render path or fire N+1 network requests?
+- [ ] Are Nostr queries efficient (combined kinds, relay-level filtering vs client-side)?
+- [ ] Are user inputs used in queries or rendered as content without sanitization?
+- [ ] Were existing patterns/conventions in AGENTS.md ignored in favor of something novel?
+- [ ] Are secrets, keys, or env-specific values hardcoded?
+- [ ] Does the code use the `any` type anywhere?
+- [ ] Is the code Capacitor-compatible (no `<a download>`, no `window.open()`)?
+- [ ] Are new Nostr event kinds documented in NIP.md with links to relevant specs?
+- [ ] Are there any new images >100KB or other large binary assets that should be hosted externally?
+- [ ] Is there any use of dangerouslySetInnerHTML, eval, innerHTML, or SVG string interpolation?
+- [ ] Is any data from a Nostr event (tags, content, pubkey, URLs) used in a security-sensitive context (href, src, query filter, trust decision) without validation?
+
+Skip anything a linter or type checker would catch. Focus on logic, data flow, and intent.
+
+Then answer: "If you were the people who have to maintain this codebase and deal
+with all long-term issues, what would be your biggest concerns about this
+implementation?"
+```
+
+Address every finding before submitting.
+
+### 9. Deploy a live preview
+
+Deploy your branch so reviewers can test it without pulling your code:
+
+```sh
+npm run build
+npx surge dist your-branch-name.surge.sh
+```
+
+Or use Netlify, Vercel, or any static hosting. Include the live preview URL in your MR description.
+
+### 10. Take screenshots
+
+Capture before and after screenshots of any UI changes. Include them directly in the MR description. If your change has no visual component, state that explicitly.
+
+### 11. Submit
+
+Fill out every field in the MR template. Incomplete MRs will not be reviewed.
+
+## What gets your MR closed without review
+
+- No linked issue
+- Feature MRs with no clear alignment with the [Ditto Philosophy](https://about.ditto.pub/philosophy)
+- Features that fail the product decision filter (not magnetic, not threatening to the status quo, not peaceful)
+- Incomplete MR template (missing checklist, screenshots, or preview URL)
+- Changes that go beyond what was asked for (scope creep)
+- Placeholder code, dead code, or debug artifacts
+- Evidence of low-quality AI generation ("In a real application..." comments, hallucinated APIs, generic template code)
+- Failing test suite
+- No evidence of planning (code-first, think-later approach produces recognizable patterns)
+- Undocumented Nostr event kinds (new kinds must be in NIP.md)
+- Large binary assets committed to git (images >100KB, fonts, videos)
+- Security issues (dangerouslySetInnerHTML, eval, innerHTML, unsanitized user input)
+
+## MR review process
+
+1. The CI pipeline validates your MR description automatically. If it fails, read the error message and fix your MR description.
+2. Maintainers will review your MR when all CI checks pass and the template is complete.
+3. If changes are requested, address them promptly. Stale MRs will be closed.
+
+We appreciate your interest in contributing. These standards exist because reviewing a low-quality MR takes 3x longer than doing the work ourselves. Help us help you by following the process.

+## Kind 777: Spell (NIP-A7)
+
+### Summary
+
+Regular (non-replaceable) event that encodes a Nostr relay query filter as a portable, shareable event. Spells function as saved feeds — users can publish, discover, and execute them across clients.
+
+See [NIP-A7](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips) for the full specification.
+
+### Event Structure
+
+```json

-The third element of each `tab` tag is a JSON-encoded **NIP-01 filter object**, optionally extended with the NIP-50 `search` field. Variable placeholders (strings starting with `$`) may appear wherever a string value is expected.
+The third element of each `tab` tag is a JSON-encoded **kind:777 spell event** (see [Kind 777](#kind-777-spell-nip-a7)). The spell event contains all filter parameters, runtime variables (`$me`, `$contacts`), and client hints (media type, language, sort, etc.) in its tags.

-```json
-{
-  "kinds": [1],
-  "authors": ["$me"],
-  "search": "bitcoin",
-  "limit": 20
-}
-```
-
-Supported filter fields: `ids`, `authors`, `kinds`, `#<tag>` (e.g. `#t`, `#e`, `#p`), `since`, `until`, `limit`, `search`.
-
-### Variable Tags
-
-Variable tags define named placeholders that are resolved before the filter is executed. Each `var` tag extracts tag values from a referenced Nostr event.
-
-Format: `["var", "$name", "<tag-to-extract>", "<event-pointer>"]`
-
-| Index | Description                                                                                      |
-|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| 0     | Tag name: `"var"`                                                                                |
-| 1     | Variable name, starting with `$` (e.g. `"$follows"`)                                            |
-| 2     | Tag name to extract values from in the referenced event (e.g. `"p"`)                             |
-| 3     | Event pointer: `e:<event-id>` for a specific event, or `a:<kind>:<pubkey>:<d-tag>` for an addressable/replaceable event coordinate. Variables like `$me` may appear in the pubkey position. |
-
-Example — extract follow list pubkeys:
-```json
-["var", "$follows", "p", "a:3:$me:"]
-```
-
-This means: fetch the kind 3 event authored by `$me`, extract all `p` tag values, and bind them to `$follows`.
-
-### Reserved Variable: `$me`
-
-The `$me` variable is the only runtime-provided variable. It resolves to the **profile owner's pubkey** (the author of the kind 16769 event). It does not require a `var` tag definition.
-
-### Variable Resolution
-
-When a variable appears in a filter field that expects an array (e.g. `authors`, `ids`, `#p`), the variable is **expanded in-place** (spliced into the array). Literal values may be mixed with variables.
-
-```json
-["tab", "Mixed", "{\"authors\":[\"$follows\",\"abc123...\"],\"kinds\":[1]}"]
-```
-
-After resolution (assuming `$follows` = `["pk1", "pk2"]`):
-```json
-{"authors": ["pk1", "pk2", "abc123..."], "kinds": [1]}
-```
+The spell does not need to be signed or published to relays -- it is stored inline as a structural template. The `id`, `pubkey`, `created_at`, and `sig` fields may be empty strings or zero.

 ### Behavior

- To **add or update** tabs: publish a new kind 16769 event with all current `tab` and `var` tags.
+- To **add or update** tabs: publish a new kind 16769 event with all current `tab` tags.
 - To **clear** all tabs: publish a kind 16769 event with no `tab` tags (only `alt`).
 - Clients MUST filter by `authors: [pubkey]` when querying to prevent spoofing.
- `var` tags are shared across all `tab` tags in the same event.

+## Kind 30078: Buddy AI Agent Identity
+
+### Summary
+
+Uses NIP-78 (Application-specific data, kind 30078) to store a user's personal AI agent ("Buddy") identity. The event is signed by the user (owner), linking the agent to their account. The agent has its own Nostr keypair and kind 0 profile.
+
+Public metadata is in tags. The agent's secret key and soul (personality/behavior description) are NIP-44 encrypted to the owner in the `content` field.
+
+### Event Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 30078,
+  "pubkey": "<owner-pubkey>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "<appId>/buddy"],
+    ["p", "<agent-pubkey>"],
+    ["alt", "Buddy AI agent identity"],
+    ["client", "Ditto", "<optional-nip89-addr>"]
+  ],
+  "content": "<NIP-44 encrypted to owner: { nsec, soul }>"
+}
+```
+
+### Content (Encrypted)
+
+The `content` field contains a NIP-44 payload encrypted to the owner's own pubkey (encrypt-to-self). When decrypted, it yields a JSON object:
+
+```json
+{
+  "nsec": "<agent-secret-key-hex>",
+  "name": "Sparkles",
+  "soul": "A witty space explorer who explains everything with analogies and never takes itself too seriously."
+}
+```
+
+| Field  | Required | Description                                                                 |
+|--------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `nsec` | Yes      | Agent's secret key as a 64-character hex string                             |
+| `name` | Yes      | The buddy's canonical name (source of truth; the agent's kind 0 may use nicknames) |
+| `soul` | Yes      | Free-form text describing the agent's personality, injected into the system prompt via `{{SOUL}}` |
+
+### Tags
+
+| Tag      | Required | Description                                                                 |
+|----------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `d`      | Yes      | `<appId>/buddy` — one buddy per user per app (e.g. `ditto/buddy`)          |
+| `p`      | Yes      | Agent's public key (hex) — links to the agent's kind 0 profile             |
+| `alt`    | Yes      | NIP-31 human-readable fallback                                              |
+| `client` | Yes      | NIP-89 client tag identifying the publishing application                    |
+
+### Agent Profile (Kind 0)
+
+The buddy agent has its own kind 0 event signed with its own keypair. This is a standard Nostr profile:
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 0,
+  "pubkey": "<agent-pubkey>",
+  "content": "{\"name\":\"Sparkles\",\"about\":\"A witty space explorer...\",\"bot\":true}"
+}
+```
+
+The `bot` field SHOULD be set to `true` per NIP-24 to indicate the profile is automated.
+
+### Client Behavior
+
+- On **creation**: generate a keypair, store nsec in localStorage for fast access, publish kind 0 (agent profile) and kind 30078 (identity event).
+- On **page load**: read nsec from localStorage first. If missing, fetch kind 30078 from relays, decrypt, and restore nsec to localStorage.
+- On **soul update**: re-encrypt and republish the kind 30078 event. Also update the agent's kind 0 `about` field.
+- On **reset**: clear localStorage, publish an empty kind 30078 event to overwrite on relays.
+- The `soul` text is injected into the AI system prompt template at the `{{SOUL}}` placeholder. The base system prompt (tool instructions, etc.) is maintained in application code, not in the event.
+
+### Security
+
+- The kind 30078 event MUST be queried with `authors: [ownerPubkey]` to prevent spoofing.
+- The nsec is NIP-44 encrypted — only the owner can decrypt it.
+- The agent's keypair is separate from the user's keypair. Compromise of the agent key does not affect the user's identity.

 /**
 * HangingItems
 * 
- * Displays inventory items as hanging elements from the top of the screen.
+ * Displays available items as hanging elements from the top of the screen.
 * Each item appears as a circle connected to the top by a thin vertical line,
 * creating a playful, spatial feel.
 * 
+ * Items are reusable abilities sourced from the shop catalog — they are
+ * always available and not consumed on use.
+ * 
 * State Model:
 * - Container states: hidden → opening → open → closing → hidden
- * - Hanging items = available inventory that can still be released
+ * - Hanging items = catalog items available for the selected action
 * - Released/dropped items = instances currently in the world (tracked with unique IDs)
 * - Multiple instances of the same item type can exist simultaneously on the ground
 * 
- * Key Design Principle:
- * The hanging row represents "releasable quantity" - clicking releases ONE instance
- * and immediately decrements the visible quantity. A new hanging copy remains if
- * quantity > 1. The released instance tracks separately with a unique instance ID.
- * 
 * Features:
 * - Smooth open/close slide animations (items descend/ascend)
 * - Thin vertical lines from the top of screen
 * - Circular containers for hanging items
- * - Click releases item: one instance falls, remaining quantity stays hanging
+ * - Click releases item: one instance falls to the ground
 * - Multiple dropped instances of same item type can exist
 * - Contact detection: items auto-use when touching Blobbi
 * - Click-to-use: click landed items to use them

 /**
- * BlobbiOnboardingFlow - Main component that orchestrates the onboarding steps
- * 
- * This component renders the appropriate onboarding step based on the user's
- * actual profile state. The initial step is derived from whether the profile
- * exists - not hardcoded.
- * 
- * MODES:
- * 1. Full onboarding (default): Auto profile creation → Adoption question → Preview
- * 2. Adoption only (adoptionOnly=true): Skip directly to Preview for existing profiles
- * 
- * IMPORTANT: This component should only be rendered when:
- * - User has no profile (auto-creates profile using kind 0 name)
- * - User has profile but no pets (shows adoption)
- * - User wants to adopt another Blobbi (adoptionOnly mode)
- * 
- * Profile creation is now automatic - no manual name entry step is needed.
+ * BlobbiOnboardingFlow - Immersive hatching ceremony for every new Blobbi
+ *
+ * Every new egg goes through the hatching ceremony - whether it's a user's
+ * first Blobbi or their tenth. The ceremony creates the egg silently in the
+ * background and presents a wordless, emotional hatching experience.
+ *
+ * The `adoptionOnly` prop is accepted for API compatibility but no longer
+ * changes the flow - every egg gets the full ceremony.
