What

  • specs/006-announcement-channel/spec.md — the spec, no code.
  • rust/Cargo.toml + rust/src/api/mod.rs — one real fix the spec turned up, and the two tests that keep it fixed.

Why

The project has no way to say anything to the people already running the app. A store release note reaches them once, at update time, if they read it — and on web and desktop there is not even that. So none of these can be said today:

  • "2.1 is out and fixes the invoice bug you are hitting."
  • "The public Mostro node is down for maintenance for two hours."
  • "This default relay is being retired."

Every conventional fix wants a server, an account, an email address, or a device token. This app has none of those on purpose. The FCM scaffolding in the repo is not an answer either: YOUR_VAPID_KEY is still a literal, firebase_options is a placeholder, and push.mostro.network is a service that would have to exist and hold a device token per install.

The app already speaks Nostr, and a Nostr event is signed. Hardcode the project's npubs, read only from them, and the signature is the whole trust model. A hostile relay can withhold an announcement or serve a stale one — §5 handles both — but it cannot forge one.

Adapted from the same channel built end to end in choke, protolayer-io/choke#165#171.

The version fix (the only code here)

get_app_version() returns env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION"), and rust/Cargo.toml said 0.1.0 while pubspec.yaml says 2.0.0+1. Two consequences, one of them already shipping:

  • The About screen has been showing users 0.1.0.
  • min_version / max_version targeting would have compared every release against a number no build has ever carried — the spec is worthless while that is true, so it could not be left as a follow-up.

Fixed by syncing the crate version to the pubspec version, plus two tests:

Test What it catches
app_version_matches_pubspec the two files drifting again — it include_str!s pubspec.yaml, so it holds regardless of the working directory
app_version_carries_no_build_number a +build suffix reaching version comparison, where semver would silently drop it

cargo test — 261 pass, 2 new. cargo clippy --all-targets — no new warnings (0 hits in the touched file).

The kind: 38387, reserved

First draft used 38386 — that is the protocol's dispute event. Since the 3838x block is maintained by this project, the fix is to allocate the next slot rather than flee to generic space:

Kind Event z
38383 Orders order
38384 Ratings rating
38385 Info info
38386 Disputes dispute
38387 Announcements announcement

Reserved for this event and nothing else. It stays a client-level event in every other respect: authored by the project keys of §4.1, never by a node, and no daemon publishes or reads it.

The registration lives in MostroP2P/protocol#56, which adds the row above and src/announcement_event.md. A number reserved only in this repo would not be reserved — that PR is what stops the next Mostro client from taking 38387. It depends on nothing here and should land first (build order step 7). Where the two documents overlap, the protocol one is the wire contract and this spec is how this app implements it.

Addressable (30000–39999) is the part that matters functionally: it makes correcting a typo in a live announcement a republish under the same d rather than a second announcement.

The shape

  • All five locales in one event. One publish, and an announcement that cannot half-arrive because a relay set delivered two languages and not the others.
  • expiration (NIP-40) required, so the sender cannot accidentally create something permanent.
  • min_version / max_version, so "2.1 is out" is not shown to someone on 2.1. The upper bound is exclusive for exactly that reason.

Severity — added after review

The first draft rendered every announcement in the same amber banner, which makes "2.1 is out, nicer order book" and "2.0.3 fixes a bug that can leak your trade key" look like the same message. Three levels now:

severity For Rendered as
info releases, features, events blueAccent, info icon
warning outages, a relay retiring, anything with a deadline warningAmber — today's banner
critical a security issue the user must act on now destructiveRed, shield icon, and the bell's dot turns red

The rules around it matter more than the field:

  • The publisher declares a severity, never a colour. The palette differs between themes, destructiveRed on backgroundCard is a contrast pair the design system has already checked and an arbitrary hex is not, and a content field carrying a colour would hand an allowlisted key the ability to paint the app — the same rule that makes the copy plain text.
  • An unrecognised severity renders as warning, and is not dropped. The one field where "unknown means invalid" does not apply: v and the locale set decide whether a message is intelligible, severity only decides how it is painted, and dropping a security notice because a later release added a level is the worst outcome available. Not critical, because the app cannot know which direction an unknown token sits in — and "any unknown string paints the app red" is the escalation a compromised key would use.
  • Colour is never the only signal — each level carries its own icon and localized label.
  • critical sorts above everything and survives its own dismissal until it expires; the badge clears, the row stays. Someone who swipes away "your trade key can leak" at a red light should still be able to find it.
  • No modal, at any level. A takeover on launch is the single surface a compromised publisher key would most want, and it blocks a user who opened the app to release sats on a running trade. The red banner plus a red dot already outrank everything on that screen. This is the decision most worth arguing with.
  • A policy with no technical enforcement: critical is for security. Spend it on a release and users learn red means nothing, on the day it is true.

What the adaptation had to change

This is not a port — choke is pure Flutter and this app is not:

choke here
Parsing, allowlist decoding, verification, freshness, storage in Dart all in Rust — golden rule, .specify/ARCHITECTURE.md
New bell, new screen, new shared_preferences cache reuses NotificationType.system, SystemNotificationBanner, NotificationBell and the Sembast store — the surface already exists, and SystemNotificationBanner's own doc comment already says "announcements"
4 locales 5 (en, es, fr, de, it)
tool/announce.dart could not call the app's parser, so constants were duplicated and pinned by a test a Rust binary in the same crate calling the real parser — nothing to drift
Cache in shared_preferences an announcements table in the Rust DB, SCHEMA_VERSION 3 → 4

The parts that are about being wrong

  • The allowlist is a list, not one key: a lost or leaked singular key kills the channel until a store review completes.
  • The key is not the maintainer's personal key and not the Mostro node key — §4.1 rule 1 says why those must not be the same list.
  • Verification is explicitevent.verify() at the point of use, the way nostr/transport.rs already does it, rather than assumed from the relay pool's settings.
  • Freshness and replay are rules, not hopes: 30-day window, 5 minutes of clock skew, address is (kind, pubkey, d) and never d alone, revision is (created_at, id).
  • Expiry is re-checked against the clock, not the network, so an outage notice does not outlive its own expiration on a phone that was offline for five weeks precisely because nothing came in to displace it.
  • The off switch ships before the surface (§10), so the channel is never live without one. Off means no subscription is opened, so a relay cannot tell an opt-out from a closed app.
  • The allowlist ships empty, which is inert by construction: no authors means no subscription. Turning the channel on is one line, in its own PR, with the npubs checked against a source outside this repo.

Worth flagging for review: the switch defaults to on. Defensible while nothing here posts a system notification, and §7 says it must be re-argued rather than inherited the day that changes.

Still needs someone else's sign-off

Where the announcement key lives. §4.1 says dedicated and offline, and not the node key. That is a decision about operations, not code, and nothing can be published until it is made.

Constraints it respects

  • No new capability on the relay pool — Filter already carries kinds, authors, since, limit.
  • No crypto in Dart; bech32 decoding through nostr-sdk in Rust.
  • No new dependency on either side — url_launcher and the notification surface are already here.
  • Rust does not translate: it returns all five locales and Dart picks.
  • Nothing is written to a relay; nothing is reported about the user, not even a read receipt.

Out of scope, with reasons attached

Real push, background relay subscriptions, targeted messages to a particular user or node operator, any inbound path, and node-authored announcements.

Test plan

  • cd rust && cargo test — 261 pass, 2 new
  • cd rust && cargo clippy --all-targets — no new warnings
  • Confirm the About screen now reads 2.0.0 on a device
  • Review the spec — §9 enumerates the cases the implementation will owe
  • Confirm the key-custody decision (§4.1)
  • Land docs: reserve kind 38387 for announcement events protocol#56 (the 38387 registration)

Spec only — no code, no dependency, no behaviour change.

The project has no way to say anything to the people already running the
app. A store release note reaches them once, at update time, if they read
it; on web and desktop there is not even that. Every conventional fix
wants a server, an account, an email address, or a device token — none of
which this app has, on purpose.

The app already speaks Nostr, and a Nostr event is signed. Publish from
keys the project controls, compile their npubs into the crate, read only
from them, and the signature is the entire trust model.

Adapted from the same channel built in protolayer-io/choke (#165#171),
with the parts that had to change: everything protocol-shaped moves to
Rust per the golden rule, the surface reuses the notification bell and
system banner that already exist, and the publisher tool becomes a Rust
binary that calls the app's real parser instead of a Dart copy of it.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds a specification for an authenticated, foreground-only Nostr announcement channel. It defines event validation, localization, persistence, notification integration, consent, publishing checks, tests, version synchronization, and scope limits.

Changes

Announcement channel

Layer / File(s) Summary
Version and event contract
rust/Cargo.toml, rust/src/api/mod.rs, specs/006-announcement-channel/spec.md
Updates the Rust package version to 2.0.0. Adds tests that compare the Rust and Flutter app versions without build metadata. Defines the signed addressable 38387 event and five-locale content schema.
Announcement processing and persistence
specs/006-announcement-channel/spec.md
Defines allowlist and signature checks, fetching, freshness, revision ordering, deduplication, expiration, offline sweeping, and capped Rust storage.
Dart integration and consent
specs/006-announcement-channel/spec.md
Defines the Rust-to-Dart notification bridge, locale selection, read and dismiss synchronization, and the persisted Announcements consent setting.
Publishing validation and delivery checks
specs/006-announcement-channel/spec.md
Defines publisher validation, the test matrix, staged implementation order, protocol registration, and excluded capabilities.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 021b4

The announcement specification still has unresolved behavior and security inconsistencies around announcement links, state persistence, expiry, opt-out privacy, signing-key handling, and protocol-kind registration. The PR should not be treated as merge-ready until these points are corrected or explicitly accepted by the owners.

P1 Badge Do not reuse the address-only processed ledger

When a publisher corrects a read or dismissed announcement, the correction keeps the same address and therefore the same NotificationModel.id; however, SembastNotificationsStore.saveIfUnprocessed records only that ID and deleteRecord deliberately leaves the marker behind, so addIfNew will reject every newer revision before Rust can re-announce it. Key the Dart deduplication by revision or provide a replacement path that lets Rust's revision decision override the tombstone.

Verified events are persisted in the **protocol layer**, not the Dart layer: a new
`announcements` table in `rust/src/db/schema.rs` (SQLite native, IndexedDB web), bumping
`SCHEMA_VERSION` from 3 to 4. Capped at the **20 most recent** by `created_at`; each row
holds the raw signed event JSON plus its address, revision and read/dismissed state.

P1 Badge Initialize the Rust database on web

On a web build, the proposed IndexedDB cache cannot be used because the only production call to rust_api.initDb is inside the if (!kIsWeb) block in lib/core/app_bootstrap.dart:75-85. Without adding web initialization to this plan, db() remains None, so announcements and the Rust-backed opt-out setting are lost on every reload and the promised offline web behavior does not work.

and add a widget test verifying the URL is opened when the action is tapped.
- Around line 443-468: Update announcement identity and state handling so the
revision is included in NotificationModel IDs, processed-event deduplication,

replace or re-announce correctly, while stale read or dismiss requests cannot
affect the current revision; add tests covering both behaviors.
- Around line 491-499: The opt-out privacy guarantee in the announcement-channel
specification is too broad for a shared RelayPool: update the design to isolate
the announcement subscription/connection, or narrow the wording to accurately
describe observable CLOSE and REQ behavior and document any trade impact from
closing the shared pool. Add a relay-spy test covering the tap-to-close path.
- Around line 486-489: Define announcements_enabled as a Rust-backed setting in
settings_keys, AppSettings, and rust/src/api/settings.rs, with a default-on
value for existing databases. Persist toggle updates through
Storage::{get_setting,set_setting}, then rehydrate the setting during app
bootstrap after init_db and before nostr_api.initialize so relay subscription
initialization uses the persisted value.

Make invalid URL handling normative.

Section 3.2 only says that url must use https, while Section 9 says a non-HTTPS URL is removed and the announcement still renders. Section 5.2 does not define this exception. State that both the reader and publisher parser discard only url for an invalid scheme, and define behavior for malformed or relative URLs.

**The address is `(kind, pubkey, d)`, never `d` alone.** `d` is chosen by the sender and
§4.1 is a list, so two keys can pick the same `d` — at which point a `d`-keyed seen set
lets a successor key's announcement be swallowed as "already seen", or lets one key's read
state mark another key's message read.

**The revision is `(created_at, event.id)`.** `created_at` alone does not order two events:
a correction republished within the same second is the ordinary outcome of fixing a typo
and hitting publish, and with a bare timestamp the winner is whichever relay answered
first — two phones, two different texts of the same announcement. Tie-break: strictly newer
`created_at` wins; on an exact tie, the **lowest** event id wins, compared
case-insensitively. Both halves are stored, because the comparison needs the held id and
not just the held timestamp.

Define the canonical address serialization.

The specification defines identity as (kind, pubkey, d) but passes address as a string to Rust APIs and uses it as NotificationModel.id. Because d is opaque, an undocumented delimiter format can collide or serialize differently across Rust, Dart, and storage. Define a canonical encoding or keep the tuple as structured fields, then add round-trip tests.

Define one source of truth for read and dismiss state.

Rust owns the announcements table and its read/dismissed state, but the same actions also pass through the Dart notification provider and Sembast. A provider write followed by a bridge write is not atomic. A failure or restart between the writes can make the UI and Rust disagree and cause replay or dismissal bugs. Make Rust authoritative and adapt the provider, or define reconciliation and failure-ordering tests.

Sweep expired announcements while the app remains foreground.

The current sweep runs on restore and foreground only. If the app stays foreground beyond expiration, the announcement can remain visible and stored after expiry. This contradicts User Story 2 and Section 5.5. Add a foreground expiry timer or perform an expiry-aware read that deletes rows when they expire. Test expiry without a lifecycle transition.

| `mark_announcement_read(address)` / `dismiss_announcement(address)` | read/dismiss state, stored beside the event |

`Announcement` carries the address, the revision, `created_at`, `expiration`, the optional
`url`, and **all five locales**. Rust does not pick a language — CLAUDE.md, "Rust does not
translate."

Adding `rust/src/api/announcements.rs` means `./scripts/frb-generate.sh` must run, and the
generated `lib/src/rust/` is never hand-edited.

### 6.2 Rendering

Each announcement becomes a `NotificationModel`:

- `type: NotificationType.system` — which already routes to `SystemNotificationBanner`
- `id`: the address string, so the model's identity is the announcement's identity and the
existing Sembast `processed_events` tombstone ledger works unchanged
- `title` / `message`: the locale block matching `Localizations.localeOf(context)`; there
is no fallback path, because §3.2 guarantees every locale is present
- `timestamp`: `created_at`
- the `url`, when present, as a single button opening externally through `url_launcher`
(already a dependency), never rendered inline in the body

Read and dismiss flow through the existing notifications provider, which then calls the
bridge so Rust holds the same state — it is Rust that has to know whether a superseding
revision should re-announce. A newer revision at a known address arrives as an unread item
at the same id, which is exactly what §5.3 asks for.

Include the announcement revision in identity and actions.

The specification maps each announcement to the address as NotificationModel.id, while addIfNew and saveIfUnprocessed use that ID as the processed-event key. A newer revision at the same address is therefore rejected before it can replace the old announcement or become unread. The address-only bridge actions can also apply a stale read or dismiss operation to the current revision. Include the revision in deduplication and read/dismiss operations, or enforce compare-and-set semantics. Add tests for both cases.

`Announcement` carries the address, the revision, `created_at`, `expiration`, the optional
`url`, and **all five locales**. Rust does not pick a language — CLAUDE.md, "Rust does not
translate."

Adding `rust/src/api/announcements.rs` means `./scripts/frb-generate.sh` must run, and the
generated `lib/src/rust/` is never hand-edited.

### 6.2 Rendering

Each announcement becomes a `NotificationModel`:

- `type: NotificationType.system` — which already routes to `SystemNotificationBanner`
- `id`: the address string, so the model's identity is the announcement's identity and the
existing Sembast `processed_events` tombstone ledger works unchanged
- `title` / `message`: the locale block matching `Localizations.localeOf(context)`; there
is no fallback path, because §3.2 guarantees every locale is present
- `timestamp`: `created_at`
- the `url`, when present, as a single button opening externally through `url_launcher`
(already a dependency), never rendered inline in the body

Define an action field for announcement URLs.

NotificationModel has no URL or action field, and _handleTap does not handle external URLs. The required announcement link can therefore be lost and cannot open from SystemNotificationBanner. Extend the model and widget, or specify an existing action path. Add a widget test for opening the HTTPS URL.

Unlike its four neighbours, which are `shared_preferences` keys, this one is persisted in
the **Rust settings table** (`rust/src/api/settings.rs`, the existing key-value `settings`
table) — because the value controls whether Rust opens a relay subscription, and the
authority for that has to be on the side that opens it.

Define durable startup handling for announcements_enabled.

The Rust settings table and Storage::{get_setting,set_setting} exist, but settings_keys, AppSettings, and rust/src/api/settings.rs contain no announcement setting or rehydration path. App bootstrap initializes the relay pool without loading it. Define default-on behavior for existing databases, persist the toggle through Rust, and load it after init_db and before nostr_api.initialize; otherwise a restart can reopen an opted-out subscription.

**Off means the subscription is never opened**, not that arriving events are hidden. A
relay must not be able to distinguish a user who opted out from a user who closed the app.

**Switching off takes effect at the tap.** The subscription is closed and any event already
queued behind it is discarded. Nothing waits for the next background transition: a user who
turns the channel off and stays on the settings screen — which is what a user who just
turned it off does — would otherwise keep an open subscription for as long as the app stays
open, which is the one thing this switch says does not happen. Deferred cleanup also
creates exactly the observable difference the paragraph above forbids.

NIP-01 Nostr REQ CLOSE subscription relay protocol client connection subscription close

💡 Result:

In the Nostr NIP-01 protocol, client-to-relay communication is managed via WebSocket connections using JSON array messages [1][2]. The REQ and CLOSE messages are the primary mechanisms for managing subscriptions [3][4]. REQ Message: The REQ message is used by a client to request events and initiate a subscription [1][4]. Its format is ["REQ", <subscription_id>, , ,...], where <subscription_id> is an arbitrary non-empty string of up to 64 characters [1][2][4]. The <subscription_id> is scoped to the specific WebSocket connection [3][2]. If a client sends a new REQ message using an existing <subscription_id>, the relay must overwrite the previous subscription with the new one [1][2][4]. CLOSE Message: The CLOSE message is used by a client to terminate an active subscription [3][4]. Its format is ["CLOSE", <subscription_id>], where the <subscription_id> corresponds to the subscription to be stopped [1][2][5]. Upon receiving a CLOSE message, the relay should stop sending future events associated with that subscription ID [4]. Protocol Flow: 1. Subscription Initiation: When a relay receives a REQ, it queries its database for matching events, sends those events, and then sends an EOSE (End of Stored Events) message [6][3][4]. 2. Ongoing Updates: After the EOSE, the relay continues to stream new events that match the subscription's filters in real-time until the subscription is terminated [1][2][4]. 3. Termination: A subscription ends when the client sends a CLOSE message with the corresponding ID, a new REQ is sent with the same ID, or the WebSocket connection is closed [1][2]. 4. Server-Side Termination: Relays may also terminate subscriptions unilaterally, in which case they send a CLOSED message (not to be confused with the client-side CLOSE) to the client, often accompanied by a machine-readable error prefix [1][6][3]. Note on Implementation: While some relay implementations may continue to send events for an initial query even after a CLOSE message is received (if the CLOSE follows the REQ very quickly), the protocol expectation is for the relay to stop sending events for the specified subscription [4][7]. Clients are generally advised to manage subscription lifecycles explicitly by sending CLOSE messages when data is no longer needed to free up relay resources [4].

Narrow or redesign the opt-out privacy guarantee.

The shared RelayPool client carries the existing trade subscriptions and the proposed announcement subscription. Closing only the announcement subscription sends a Nostr CLOSE message while the relay connection remains active. The relay can also observe that the client does not send a new announcement REQ. Isolate the announcement connection, document the trade impact of closing the shared pool, or state the observable behavior accurately. Add a relay-spy test for the tap-to-close path.

nak nostr CLI event --sec option secure key input signing agent documentation

💡 Result:

In the Nostr Army Knife (nak) CLI tool, the --sec flag is used to specify the secret key for signing events. To maintain security, you should avoid passing secret keys directly as command-line arguments, as they may be exposed in process lists or command history [1][2]. Instead of using --sec with a plain-text key, you can use the following secure methods: 1. Environment Variable: Set the NOSTR_SECRET_KEY environment variable. The nak tool will automatically use this value for signing if no other key is provided [3][4][2]. export NOSTR_SECRET_KEY=<your_hex_or_nsec_key> nak event -c "Your message" 2. Interactive Prompt: Use the --prompt-sec flag. This tells nak to prompt you for the secret key interactively after you run the command, preventing the key from appearing in your command history [5][6]. nak event --prompt-sec -c "Your message" 3. Remote Signing (Bunker): For enhanced security, you can use a NIP-46 remote signer (such as Amber or NsecBunker) by passing a bunker URL to the --sec flag [3][6]. This allows you to sign events without ever exposing your private key on the local machine [4][1]. nak event --sec "bunker://<bunker_url_with_secret>" -c "Your message" 4. File Input: You can pipe a key from a secure file or command, though you should ensure the file permissions are restricted [4][1]. nak event --sec "$(cat /path/to/secure/key.txt)" -c "Your message" Additionally, if you are using an encrypted key (ncryptsec), nak will automatically prompt you for a password to decrypt it if you provide the encrypted key string to the --sec flag [7][6].

site:github.com/fiatjaf/nak "--prompt-sec" "nak event"

💡 Result:

In the context of the Nostr Army Knife (nak), a command-line tool for Nostr, nak event is a subcommand used to create, sign, and optionally publish Nostr events [1]. Users can generate a basic event with a default key using the following command [1]: nak event More complex events can be created by providing custom content, tags, and signing keys, as well as specifying relays to which the event should be published [1]. For example: nak event --sec -c 'hello world' --tag t=nostr nostr.example.com The command supports various flags to manage signing keys, such as using --sec for a private key, or --connect-as when communicating with NIP-46 bunkers for remote signing [2][3]. If no signing key is explicitly provided, the tool may prompt the user for one if --prompt-sec is used [2]. Additionally, the event created can be piped to other nak subcommands or external tools [4].

Use interactive key input for the nak publishing example.

--sec exposes the secret key in command history and process arguments. Replace it with the supported --prompt-sec option, or a remote signer, before publishing this procedure.

nak publishing example to use the supported --prompt-sec interactive key-input

destination.

`get_app_version()` returns `env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")`, and
`rust/Cargo.toml` said `0.1.0` while `pubspec.yaml` says `2.0.0+1`. So
the About screen showed users `0.1.0`, and the announcement channel's
`min_version` / `max_version` bounds would have compared every release
against a number no build has ever carried.

Sync the crate version to the pubspec version, and add the two tests
that keep it that way: one fails when the two files drift, the other
pins that the comparison value never carries a `+build` suffix, since
semver excludes build metadata from precedence.

Also moves the announcement kind off `38386`, which is the Mostro
protocol's dispute event (`38383` orders, `38384` ratings, `38385` info,
`38386` disputes — NIP-69). Taking the next free number in that block
would squat on the protocol's next allocation, so the channel uses
`31417` in generic addressable space instead. Only the kind number
changes; nothing else in the spec depended on it.
@grunch grunch changed the title docs: specify an authenticated announcement channel docs: specify an authenticated announcement channel + fix the app version it targets Aug 26, 2026
The `3838x` block is maintained by this project, so taking the next slot
is an allocation rather than a client squatting on a number it does not
own. `38387` / `z=announcement` sits beside orders, ratings, info and
disputes, and is reserved for this event and nothing else.

Adds the obligation that comes with it: the allocation has to be
recorded in the protocol repository's kind table in the same release
that ships the reader. A number reserved only in this repo is not
reserved — the table is what stops the next Mostro client from picking
38387 for something else.
Adds the `z` / `y` tags the 3838x block conventions ask for, as an
obligation on the publisher rather than a filter on the reader: they
carry no trust, so validating them would only add a way for a correct
announcement to be dropped.

Also says which document wins where the two overlap — the protocol one
is the wire contract, this one is how this app implements it, and the
five-locale rule is this app's policy, which the protocol document
leaves to each project.

| Kind | `38387` — addressable, **reserved in the Mostro protocol's `3838x` block for this and nothing else** |
| Author | one of the keys in §4.1, and nothing else |
| `d` tag | announcement id: stable, opaque, unique per announcement |
| `expiration` tag | NIP-40, **required** — see §5.5 |
| `content` | the JSON of §3.2 |

**On the kind.** The Mostro protocol allocates the `3838x` block sequentially
(`../protocol/src/order_event.md`, NIP-69), and it is currently full:

| Kind | Event | `z` tag |
|---|---|---|
| `38383` | Orders | `order` |
| `38384` | Ratings | `rating` |
| `38385` | Info | `info` |
| `38386` | Disputes | `dispute` |
| **`38387`** | **Announcements** | **`announcement`** |

`38387` is the next slot, and this feature **takes it deliberately**: the protocol is
maintained by the same project, so this is an allocation rather than a client squatting on
a number it does not own. It is reserved for the announcement event and nothing else, and
a `z` tag of `announcement` keeps it self-describing alongside its neighbours.

That consequence is discharged in **MostroP2P/protocol#56**, which registers the row above
and describes the event in `src/announcement_event.md`. A number reserved only in this
document would not be reserved — the registry is what stops the next Mostro client from
picking `38387` for something else. Where the two documents overlap, the protocol one is
the wire contract and this one is how this app implements it; §3.2's five-locale rule is
this app's policy, which the protocol document explicitly leaves to each project.

Align the protocol allocation status.

This section says that 38387 is already registered by MostroP2P/protocol#56. The PR objectives say that recording 38387 in the protocol repository is still pending, and Section 10 lists that change as a prerequisite. Keep the allocation provisional until the protocol change lands, or update the status and build order together. Otherwise, implementers can treat an unregistered kind as a finalized wire contract.

In `@specs/006-announcement-channel/spec.md` around lines 140 - 167, Update the
“On the kind” section to keep kind 38387 explicitly provisional until the
protocol repository registration is complete, removing claims that
MostroP2P/protocol#56 has already discharged the prerequisite. Alternatively,
consistently revise the PR objectives and Section 10 to mark the protocol change
complete and adjust the build order; keep the wire-contract status aligned
across all references.

A release note and "a bug can leak your trade key, update now" rendered
in the same amber banner makes the second look like the first. Three
levels — info, warning, critical — mapped to blueAccent, warningAmber
and destructiveRed, each with its own icon and localized label so the
distinction survives a reader who cannot see the colour.

The publisher declares a severity and never a colour. The palette
differs between themes, destructiveRed on backgroundCard is a contrast
pair the design system has already checked, and a content field that
carried a colour would hand an allowlisted key the ability to paint the
app — the same rule that makes the copy plain text.

An unrecognised severity renders as warning and is not dropped: it is
the one field where unknown-means-invalid does not apply, since severity
decides how a message is painted rather than whether it is intelligible.
Not critical, because the app cannot know which direction an unknown
token sits in, and "any unknown string paints the app red" is the
escalation a compromised key would use.

Beyond colour: critical sorts above everything and survives its own
dismissal until it expires, and there is still no modal at any level —
a takeover on launch is the surface a compromised key would most want,
and it blocks a user who opened the app to release sats.
