Conversations were hard to manage because "unread" came straight from
Matrix's notification_count, and nothing in the app ever sends a read
receipt — so opening a conversation in the dashboard could never clear it
and the unread set only ever grew. The list also collapsed three
orthogonal facts into one word, labelling "they spoke last and we have
not replied" as "Up to date".
Read state is now ours:
- conversation_read_state table (migration 19) plus
ConversationReadStateRepository, kept separate from conversation_states
so a read write can never be lost to mergeConversationState. The
watermark is monotonic, so a stale poll cannot resurrect an unread
badge.
- hasUnreadInbound and needsReply are derived server-side and returned on
every conversation. Matrix's `unread` stays on the contract but the
dashboard no longer reads it.
- POST /conversations/{id}/read|unread|status and
POST /conversations/bulk-read, with optimistic cache updates.
Inbox rework:
- List rows are a real grid (checkbox, open button, chip strip) instead of
a full-bleed absolute overlay button, which previously forced a
pointer-events escape hatch for anything interactive in a row. Rows use
aria-current rather than aria-pressed. Not a listbox: options must not
contain interactive descendants.
- Counted filter pills replace the select, independent state chips replace
the collapsed status word, plus a sort control (including oldest
unanswered), a per-account filter, age-coloured timestamps, and an
explicit count of rows hidden by the seller filter.
- Keyboard: j/k/arrows, Enter, u, e, / and Escape. Shortcuts yield to any
open dialog so Escape dismisses the modal, not the conversation behind
it. Multi-select with bulk mark-read and mark-done.
- Detail panel: auto-mark-read on open, a "New messages" divider pinned at
mount (deriving it from the live watermark made it vanish a second after
opening), triage actions in the header, the automation banner moved out
of the composer, day dividers with time-only stamps, and a flex column
so history scrolls in its own region instead of painting over the
composer.
- Row order freezes while a conversation is open, with a "N new — refresh"
pill, so a background poll cannot reorder rows mid-triage.
Two database tests rewound user_version by an offset from the latest
version, which silently re-targets a different migration whenever one is
appended. They now pin absolute versions.

The "Share a saved image" panel was wired to the automated exchange
engine, so an operator could only share an image right after an inbound
image request, limited to assets the auto-exchanger would itself pick.
Add a manual path that offers any enabled, unused library image at any
point (no request detection, tier, seller, or boundary gating) and sends
it with no reciprocal "your turn" text. Safety flags now surface as a
non-blocking warning instead of disabling the panel. The automated
auto-send path keeps all its guardrails; the shared image-delivery step
is extracted into a helper used by both paths.

Expired Matrix bearers no longer pause an account until a new extension
dump is uploaded. BrowserMatrixTokenRefresher loads chat.reddit.com in
the account's persistent browser profile (whose Reddit cookies stay
valid), lifts the fresh bearer off the first authenticated Matrix
request, verifies it via whoami, swaps it into the live MatrixClient
and persists it to the account row.
Wired into the per-account runtime at boot verification, the auth-gate
authenticator, and ChatService's 401 retry path. A dump is now only
needed when the Reddit cookies themselves no longer authenticate.
