When a user tapped "Open Signer App", the dialog previously stayed
frozen on the same screen — same button, same copy-URI fallback, no
feedback — until the login either succeeded (and the dialog dismissed)
or timed out after two minutes. With slow or flaky signers (Amber's
current listening-REQ bug being the immediate trigger, but any NIP-46
signer that takes more than a second or two to respond hits the same
hole) this looked indistinguishable from a hang. Users retapped the
button, closed the dialog, gave up.
Now the dialog swaps the QR / Open Signer App area for a centered
spinner with a live status line as the handshake advances:
- "Waiting for signer connection…" while the signer app has the user
and we're listening on kind 24133 for the connect-ack.
- "Getting public key…" once the connect-ack arrives and we're
issuing the NIP-46 get_public_key RPC.
On mobile the swap happens synchronously when the user taps "Open
Signer App" so they see the progress state the moment they return
from the signer — this is the most important window, since that's
exactly when the original UI left them staring at a button they
were worried they needed to re-tap. On desktop the QR stays visible
through the awaiting-connect phase (they may still be scanning with
a different device) and only swaps in once the signer has
acknowledged.
The progress view includes a Cancel link (primary color, matches the
"Create account" affordance) that aborts the in-flight subscription
and regenerates fresh connect params — equivalent to the existing
Retry path, but reachable while the handshake is live instead of
only after a failure.
The handshake phases are surfaced via the new `onStatus` callback
on `NLogin.fromNostrConnect` in @nostrify/react 0.6.0. Bumps
@nostrify/react to ^0.6.0 and @nostrify/nostrify / @nostrify/types
to their matching versions (^0.52.0 / ^0.37.0) to avoid duplicate
nested package copies that would otherwise split type identity.
Incidental cleanup while editing the dialog: the Copy URI button and
the "Tap to open your signer app" / "Scan with your signer app"
status lines are removed. The primary Open Signer App button is
self-explanatory on mobile, and the QR on desktop doesn't need a
caption.
