fix: desktop app binary missing from CI release; add prebuilt binary docs

wails build -o with a relative path doesn't resolve against the shell's
CWD — Wails joins it onto its own build/bin/ output dir, so the binary
landed in cmd/app/dist/ instead of the top-level dist/ the release step
globs. Build with the default name and cp it into dist/ explicitly.

Also document how to download and run the prebuilt daemon/anchor
release binaries on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

+# waste-go Protocol Extensions
+
+These are additive extensions to [YAW/2](PROTOCOL.md) implemented by waste-go.
+They do **not** break compatibility — YAW/2-only peers silently ignore all new
+fields. Where a waste-go peer connects to a YAW/2-only peer, the extension
+simply has no effect on that peer.
+
+---
+
+## EXT-001 — Signed Invites
+
+**Status:** implemented  
+**Affects:** `waste:` invite format, `hello` DataChannel message
+
+### Motivation
+
+The base YAW/2 network model is open to anyone who knows the anchor URL and
+network name (or hash). This extension adds opt-in cryptographic membership
+gating: invites are signed by an existing peer, and peers that enforce
+`RequireInvite` reject hellos that carry no valid signed invite.
+
+### Invite format changes
+
+The `waste:` invite payload (base64-encoded JSON) gains two optional fields:
+
+```json
+{
+  "anchor": "wss://...",
+  "network": "friends",
+  "net": "<64-hex SHA-256(yaw2-net:name)>",
+  "inviter": "<64-hex Ed25519 pubkey of signing peer>",
+  "sig": "<hex Ed25519 signature>"
+}
+```
+
+The signature covers the following bytes (null-separated):
+
+```
+anchor \x00 network \x00 net \x00 inviter
+```
+
+Unsigned invites (`inviter`/`sig` absent) remain valid for backward compat.
+
+### Hello message extension
+
+The YAW/2 §6 hello message gains one optional field:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "hello",
+  "id": "<hex pubkey>",
+  "nick": "alice",
+  "caps": ["chat", "file"],
+  "sig": "<DTLS binding sig>",
+  "invite": "waste:eyJ..."
+}
+```
+
+`invite` carries the full `waste:` string the connecting peer used to join.
+YAW/2-only peers ignore this field.
+
+### Enforcement
+
+Per-network flag `RequireInvite` (set via `join_network` IPC command).
+When enabled:
+
+1. A peer that presents no `invite` in hello is disconnected immediately.
+2. A peer that presents an invite with no signature is disconnected.
+3. A peer whose invite signature is invalid is disconnected.
+4. A peer whose invite was signed by an unknown peer ID (not in the store or
+   currently connected) is disconnected.
+
+The inviter's key must be a **known peer** — i.e. previously connected and
+stored in the per-network SQLite store, or currently connected. This forms a
+chain of trust: Alice (founder) invites Bob; Bob's key is now known; Bob can
+invite Carol, whose invite Alice will also accept.
+
+**Default:** off. Networks opt in. Existing networks with no RequireInvite
+behave exactly as before.
+
+---
+
+## EXT-002 — Hash-based Hang Link
+
+**Status:** implemented  
+**Affects:** web UI URL handling only, no wire changes
+
+### Motivation
+
+A shareable URL that pre-fills the join form without conveying cryptographic
+membership. Suitable for public announcements ("come hang out here"). The
+fragment is never sent to the server, keeping the network name opaque to
+server logs and HTTP intermediaries.
+
+### Format
+
+```
+https://host/#waste:eyJ...
+```
+
+The fragment payload is the standard `waste:` base64 JSON with only `network`
+and `anchor` fields — no `inviter`, no `sig`. This does **not** grant
+membership on networks with `RequireInvite` enabled; it only pre-fills the
+join form.
+
+The web UI generates hang links via the 🔗 button in the Networks sidebar
+section. Arriving users see the join form pre-populated and still need a
+proper signed invite (if the network enforces it) to be accepted by peers.
+
+---
+
+## EXT-003 — Multi-Share Configuration
+
+**Status:** implemented  
+**Affects:** IPC protocol only, no peer-to-peer wire changes
+
+### New IPC commands
+
+```jsonc
+{"type":"add_share","path":"/home/alice/Music"}                                // global
+{"type":"add_share","path":"/home/alice/Docs","network_ids":["abc123"]}       // scoped
+{"type":"remove_share","path":"/home/alice/Music"}
+{"type":"list_shares"}
+```
+
+### New IPC event
+
+```jsonc
+{"type":"shares_list","shares":[{"path":"...","networks":["*"]}]}
+```
+
+### Persistence
+
+`shares.json` in the data directory (next to `identity.json`). Each entry:
+
+```json
+{ "path": "/absolute/path", "networks": ["*"] }
+```
+
+`networks: ["*"]` = global (all networks). Specific network IDs = scoped.
+Coexists with the legacy `set_share_dir` single-dir mechanism.
+
+File listings returned by `get_file_list` and `MsgFileListReq` include
+entries from all applicable share roots, with relative `path` fields
+(e.g. `"path": "docs/report.pdf"`).
+
+---
+
+## EXT-004 — TURN Relay (browser mode)
+
+**Status:** implemented (browser mode + daemon mode)  
+**Affects:** ICE server configuration only, no wire changes
+
+The browser adapter reads `WASTE_CONFIG.turnURL` and `WASTE_CONFIG.turnSecret`
+and adds a TURN server to the WebRTC `ICEServers` list. Credentials are
+generated using HMAC-SHA1 of the username (coturn `use-auth-secret` scheme).
+
+YAW/2 §0 explicitly declines TURN ("No relay (TURN)"). This extension is
+opt-in via server configuration and does not affect peers that omit it.
+
+---
+
+## EXT-005 — Per-Network Path in FileEntry
+
+**Status:** implemented  
+**Affects:** `MsgFileListResp` wire message (additive field)
+
+`FileEntry` gains an optional `path` field carrying the file's relative path
+within its share root (e.g. `"docs/report.pdf"`). Peers that don't understand
+this field continue to use `name` for display and download requests.
+
+`MsgFileListReq` / `get` requests use `path` as the lookup key when present,
+falling back to `name` for backward compat with peers that don't send `path`.
+
+---
+
+## EXT-006 — File Transfer Resume
+
+**Status:** implemented (daemon mode)  
+**Affects:** `file-accept` wire message (additive field)
+
+### Motivation
+
+A transfer interrupted mid-stream (peer disconnect, network drop) can be
+continued from where it left off on the next offer of the same file, avoiding
+a full re-download.
+
+### Protocol change
+
+`file-accept` gains one optional field:
+
+```json
+{ "type": "file-accept", "xid": "...", "resume_offset": 65536 }
+```
+
+`resume_offset` is the number of bytes the receiver already has on disk.
+When non-zero, the sender seeks to that byte position before streaming.
+Peers that don't understand this field ignore it and send from the start —
+the receiver detects this by comparing incoming data to expected offset and
+will still verify the final SHA-256, but the partial bytes from the interrupted
+session will be overwritten (YAW/2-only interop degrades gracefully to a full
+re-download, not corruption).
+
+### Receiver behaviour
+
+1. On `file-offer`, the receiver scans its download directory for a `.tmp.meta`
+   sidecar whose `sha256` matches the offer.
+2. If found, the corresponding `.tmp` file's size is the resume offset. This is
+   sent back in `file-accept`.
+3. On DC open, the receiver opens the existing `.tmp` in append mode and
+   re-hashes its existing bytes to restore the SHA-256 state.
+4. On DC close with all bytes received, SHA-256 is verified. Success → sidecar
+   removed, file renamed to final path. Hash mismatch → both files removed.
+5. On DC close with fewer bytes than expected (interrupted again) → both files
+   kept for the next resume attempt.
+
+### Sidecar format
+
+Each in-progress `.tmp` file has a corresponding `.tmp.meta` JSON sidecar:
+
+```json
+{ "name": "archive.zip", "sha256": "abc...", "from": "<peer-id>", "size": 1048576 }
+```
+
+The sidecar is written when the transfer starts and removed on completion or
+corruption. Interrupted transfers keep the sidecar indefinitely.
+
+---
+
+## EXT-007 — P2P Message History Gossip
+
+**Status:** implemented (daemon mode)
+**Affects:** peer-to-peer wire (two new message types); IPC (new event)
+
+### Motivation
+
+When a peer joins a network for the first time (or reconnects after an
+absence), they have no history. This extension lets them request recent
+messages from an existing peer over the already-established encrypted
+DataChannel, without involving the anchor.
+
+### Wire messages
+
+#### `history_request`
+
+Sent by the newly-connected peer to the first peer whose hello is verified.
+One request per room.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "history_request",
+  "room":  "general",
+  "since": 1700000000000,
+  "limit": 200
+}
+```
+
+| Field   | Type          | Description |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|
+| `room`  | string        | Room to request history for. |
+| `since` | int64 (ms)    | Only return messages with `ts > since`. 0 = return up to `limit` most recent. |
+| `limit` | int (max 500) | Maximum messages to return. Responder may return fewer. |
+
+#### `history_chunk`
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "history_chunk",
+  "room": "general",
+  "history": [
+    { "mid": "...", "from": "<peer-id>", "from_alias": "alice", "text": "hello", "ts": 1700000001000 }
+  ],
+  "history_done": true
+}
+```
+
+| Field          | Type   | Description |
+|----------------|--------|-------------|
+| `history`      | array  | Messages, oldest-first. |
+| `history_done` | bool   | Always `true` (single-chunk response). |
+
+### Deduplication
+
+`mid` is the deduplication key. The store uses `INSERT OR IGNORE` on `mid`,
+so receiving a message twice (live or via gossip) is a no-op. Messages
+without a `mid` are assigned one at receive time and are not gossipped.
+
+### Behaviour
+
+- The **receiver** sends one `history_request` per known room immediately
+  after hello verification with the **first** peer it connects to. Requesting
+  only the first peer avoids fan-out amplification.
+- The **responder** queries its SQLite store and replies with a single
+  `history_chunk`. `limit` is capped at 500 server-side. Rate-limited to one
+  request per (peer, room) per 60 seconds.
+- Received history messages are saved to the local store (`INSERT OR IGNORE`)
+  and emitted as `history_loaded` IPC events so the UI can display them.
+
+### IPC event
+
+```json
+{ "type": "history_loaded", "room": "general", "messages": [...] }
+```
+
+Emitted once per room after a `history_chunk` is fully processed. The UI
+should render these messages with a visual separator from live messages.
+
+---
+
+## EXT-008 — Message Reactions
+
+### Wire message (`PeerMessage`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "reaction",
+  "reaction_mid": "<32-hex mid of the target message>",
+  "reaction_emoji": "👍"
+}
+```
+
+Sent on the normal mesh DataChannel (same as `chat`). No signing beyond
+the existing channel-level encryption.
+
+### Semantics
+
+- A reaction is idempotent: the same `(mid, emoji, from_peer)` triple is
+  stored with `INSERT OR IGNORE` — receiving a duplicate is a no-op.
+- There is no "un-react" wire message. Toggling off a reaction in the UI
+  is a local-only operation in the current implementation.
+- `reaction_mid` must reference a message that exists in the local store;
+  unknown mids are silently ignored.
+
+### Storage
+
+SQLite table added as a migration:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS reactions (
+  mid        TEXT NOT NULL,
+  emoji      TEXT NOT NULL,
+  from_peer  TEXT NOT NULL,
+  reacted_at DATETIME NOT NULL,
+  PRIMARY KEY (mid, emoji, from_peer)
+)
+```
+
+### IPC
+
+**Command** — send a reaction (daemon and browser mode):
+```json
+{ "type": "send_reaction", "network_id": "...", "reaction_mid": "<hex>", "reaction_emoji": "👍" }
+```
+
+**Event** — reaction received or replayed from history:
+```json
+{ "type": "reaction", "network_id": "...", "peer_id": "<64-hex>", "reaction_mid": "<hex>", "reaction_emoji": "👍" }
+```
+
+Stored reactions are replayed as `reaction` IPC events when history is
+loaded (`sendStoredHistory`), so the UI always sees reactions alongside
+their messages.
+
+### History replay
+
+When `sendStoredHistory` sends a `history_chunk`, it also queries
+`ReactionsForRoom` and emits one `reaction` event per stored reaction so
+clients receive the full reaction state on reconnect.
+
+### Browser mode
+
+`browser.ts` mirrors the daemon behaviour independently:
+
+- `PeerConn.sendReaction(mid, emoji)` broadcasts `{ type: "reaction", reaction_mid, reaction_emoji }` over the DataChannel.
+- Incoming `reaction` wire frames are dispatched as `reaction` IPC events.
+- `BrowserAdapter.send()` handles `send_reaction` commands and both broadcasts to all peers and emits a local `reaction` event.
+- `sendChat` includes the `mid` in the wire frame so reactions can reference it correctly across peers.

 ### NAT Traversal ✅ (WebRTC ICE/STUN)
 Solved by using WebRTC DataChannels via pion. ICE gathers host + server-reflexive (STUN) candidates and performs UDP hole punching automatically. The anchor (`cmd/anchor`) doubles as a STUN server on UDP/3478.
 
-The one remaining gap: symmetric-NAT pairs fail without TURN. An optional TURN relay (coturn in relay mode) can recover these. The protocol spec (§11) explicitly leaves this as an opt-in — no relay is the default.
+### TURN relay ✅ (shipped)
+Both browser and daemon modes support TURN relay.
+
+**Browser mode:** `iceServers()` in `browser.ts` reads `WASTE_CONFIG.turnURL` and `WASTE_CONFIG.turnSecret`, generates time-limited HMAC-SHA1 credentials (compatible with coturn `use-auth-secret`), and adds the TURN server to the ICE candidate list. The peer dot turns yellow for relayed connections (`candidate_type: relay`).
+
+**Daemon mode:** `-turn-url` and `-turn-secret` flags on `cmd/daemon`. `turnICEServers()` in `internal/netmgr/manager.go` generates HMAC-SHA1 credentials and injects them into the ICE server list for every new peer connection.
 
 ### Signaling ✅ YAW/2.1 (shipped)
-Forward-secret signaling via per-session ephemeral X25519 keys. See PROTOCOL.md §2.1 and `internal/anchor/client.go`. Falls back transparently to 2.0 static-key sealing for peers that don't speak 2.1.

+Dedicated binary DataChannel per transfer (`f:<xid>`). SHA-256 integrity verification. 64 KiB chunks with backpressure. Auto-accept. In browser mode: both pull (browse peer's shared folder) and push (📎 send directly to a peer).
+
+### Peer Gossip ✅ (shipped)
+When a new peer connects, the mesh immediately gossips the full peer list to them (`peer_gossip` wire message). New arrivals discover existing peers without needing the anchor to re-introduce them. The anchor becomes optional once the first handshake has happened — the mesh self-heals around anchor downtime.
 
 ---
 
 ## Remaining Work
 
-### Per-Network Share Directories
-The `-share-dir` flag is still global. A peer on two networks shares the same directory with both. The fix: make share dir per-network, configurable via an IPC command `set_share_dir {network_id, path}` or a config file, so Alice can share work files on "work" and music on "friends" independently.
+### Session Persistence ✅ (shipped)
+Browser mode now auto-rejoins on reload. The last-used network name, alias, and anchor URL are saved to `localStorage` on join and restored on load. A ⏻ logout button in the sidebar clears session state (optionally including the identity keypair) and reloads the page.
 
-### Peer Gossip (§8.4)
-The `peer_gossip` wire type exists in proto but is not implemented. When a peer knows about other peers (from prior connections), it could share address hints so the mesh can reconnect without the anchor. This makes the anchor optional once the initial handshake has happened — the network self-heals if the anchor goes down.
+### Per-Network Share Directories ✅ (shipped)
+Share state is tracked per `network_id` in the store (`sharedFilesByNetwork`). Switching networks switches the active share.
 
-### File Transfer UX
-- Manual accept/reject (currently auto-accept)
-- Transfer cancellation via `file-cancel`
-- Progress display in TUI
-- Resume after disconnection
+### Persistent Multi-Share Configuration ✅ (shipped)
+Multiple share roots per network, with global (all networks) or scoped visibility.
+
+- **Daemon:** `shares.json` next to `identity.json` in the data dir. `add_share`/`remove_share`/`list_shares` IPC commands. File listing recursively walks all share roots, returning relative paths. Backward compatible with the existing `set_share_dir` single-dir mechanism.
+- **Browser:** `waste_shares` in `localStorage` stores named share records (folder name, global flag). The `ShareManager` sidebar component shows the list with re-pick (↺) and remove (✕) buttons. Actual `File` objects live in memory — the record persists across reloads so the user can restore with one click.
+
+### Additional Channels / Rooms ✅ (shipped)
+Custom rooms are supported in both the web UI and the TUI.
+
+**Web UI:** The `+` button in the Rooms sidebar creates custom rooms, stored in `customRooms` keyed by `network_id`. Room names are slugified strings — any peer that sends to a room name causes it to appear on the recipient automatically.
+
+**TUI:** Type `/room <name>` in the input to create a room. The daemon persists it in the `rooms` SQLite table and echoes a `room_created` IPC event back. On reconnect, rooms are restored via `state_snapshot`. Rooms that receive messages while not active show a `*` prefix in the sidebar; the marker clears when you switch to that room.
+
+DM rooms (`dm:<peerId>`) appear automatically in both interfaces when messages arrive.
+
+### File Transfer UX ✅ (shipped)
+- Manual accept/reject via the Transfers panel in the sidebar
+- Transfer cancellation (`file-cancel` message, closes DataChannel)
+- Live progress bar per active transfer
+- Push (📎) sends directly to a peer without them needing to share a folder
+
+On daemon start, the download directory is scanned for `.tmp.meta` sidecars and a `resumable_transfers` IPC event is emitted so the UI can show pending transfers with a progress bar.
 
 ### Native UI
-Web frontend (React) + Tauri/native packaging. The IPC protocol is already the full boundary — the UI is a pure consumer.
-
-### TURN relay (optional)
-For symmetric-NAT pairs. Opt-in, off by default. Operates blind (relay sees only opaque DTLS-encrypted blobs). Run coturn in relay mode on the same VPS as the anchor.
+Web frontend (React, already built) + [Wails v2](https://wails.io) shell for native packaging. Wails is Go-native — no Rust toolchain required. The daemon runs embedded in the same process; the webview connects to the existing WebSocket IPC at `ws://127.0.0.1:17338`. Built in `cmd/app/` via `./build-app.sh`. System tray (Linux/Windows) and OS notifications are implemented. macOS menu-bar tray requires Cocoa main-thread integration — currently a stub.

+
+### Message Reactions ✅ (shipped)
+Full-stack emoji reactions. The web UI shows a `+` button on hover that opens a six-emoji picker (👍 ❤️ 😂 😮 😢 🙏). Reactions render as chips below each message; clicking an existing chip toggles your own reaction. Reactions are stored in SQLite (`reactions` table), gossiped over the mesh as `reaction` wire messages (EXT-008), and replayed via IPC on reconnect.
+
+Browser mode: `browser.ts` independently mirrors the daemon — reactions flow over the DataChannel and are broadcast to all connected peers.
+
+TUI: messages show `[n]` line numbers. Use `/react <emoji>` (reacts to last message) or `/react <n> <emoji>` (reacts to message `n`). Reactions render inline below the target message.
+
+### Link Rendering + Image Preview ✅ (shipped)
+URLs in messages are auto-linked. URLs ending in a recognized image extension (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.webp`, `.svg`) render an inline `<img>` preview (max 320×200px). `blob:` and `data:image` URLs are also treated as images.
+
+### Responsive Mobile Layout ✅ (shipped)
+At viewport width ≤ 600px the sidebar becomes a fixed-position slide-over drawer, hidden off-screen by default (`transform: translateX(-100%)`). A `☰` hamburger button in the message pane header toggles it open. Clicking any room or network in the sidebar closes it automatically. The layout is dimmed while the sidebar is open via a `::before` overlay.
+
+### Push Notifications (planned)
+The web UI is already a PWA (installable, has manifest). The missing half is a service worker + Web Push subscription:
+
+1. **Service worker** — intercepts `push` events and shows OS notifications via `showNotification()`.
+2. **VAPID key pair** — generated once by the daemon (`-vapid-key` flag); the public key is served to the browser so it can subscribe.
+3. **Subscription persistence** — the browser's `PushSubscription` JSON is sent to the daemon over IPC (`register_push` command). The daemon stores it per-network-per-peer.
+4. **Daemon relay** — when a `message_received` event fires with no active IPC WebSocket connection, the daemon POSTs a Web Push notification to the stored subscription endpoint.
+
+This keeps the architecture clean: the daemon already runs in the background; it becomes the notification relay. No third-party push server is required for self-hosted setups (coturn already in use for TURN; a lightweight Web Push POST is similar).

+# waste — quick start
+
+waste is a private, encrypted chat and file sharing app for people you trust.
+No accounts, no phone numbers, no central server that knows your messages.
+
+Pick the option that fits you best.
+
+---
+
+## Option 1 — Just open it in your browser
+
+If someone is running a waste anchor server and has shared the URL with you:
+
+1. Open the URL in any modern browser
+2. Enter your name and a network name your group has agreed on
+3. Done — you're in
+
+On mobile, tap **Share → Add to Home Screen** to install it as an app icon.
+
+To invite someone: click the 🔗 button in the sidebar and share the link.
+
+> Your identity and messages stay in your browser. Nothing is stored on the server — the server only helps peers find each other.
+
+---
+
+## Option 2 — Desktop app (recommended for regular use)
+
+Download the latest `waste` binary for your platform from the [releases page](../../releases).
+
+**Linux / macOS:**
+```bash
+chmod +x waste-linux-amd64   # or waste-darwin-arm64, etc.
+./waste-linux-amd64
+```
+
+**Windows:** double-click `waste-windows-amd64.exe`.
+
+The app opens a window with the waste UI. Enter your name, the anchor URL, and a network name to join. Your identity is saved between sessions in your config directory (`~/.config/waste` on Linux, `~/Library/Application Support/waste` on macOS, `%APPDATA%\waste` on Windows).
+
+On Linux and Windows a tray icon appears — closing the window hides to tray rather than quitting. Right-click the tray icon to reopen or quit.
+
+---
+
+## Option 3 — Run the daemon manually (headless / power users)
+
+If you want the daemon running in the background without the desktop UI — on a server, over SSH, or with the web UI in a browser pointed at your local machine:
+
+```bash
+# Download waste-daemon from the releases page, then:
+./waste-daemon -alias yourname -anchor wss://your-anchor-server/ws
+```
+
+Then open the web UI in a browser at the anchor URL, or point the web UI's daemon mode at `ws://127.0.0.1:17338`.
+
+Full flag reference:
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `-alias` | `anon` | Your display name |
+| `-anchor` | — | Anchor server WebSocket URL |
+| `-data-dir` | `~/.waste` | Where identity and messages are stored |
+| `-download-dir` | same as data-dir | Where received files are saved |
+| `-ipc-port` | `17337` | Local TCP IPC port |
+| `-ws-port` | `0` (off) | WebSocket IPC port (needed for web UI) |
+| `-turn-url` | — | TURN relay URL (fixes mobile/CGNAT) |
+| `-turn-secret` | — | TURN shared secret |
+
+---
+
+## Inviting someone
+
+1. Click `Ctrl+I` in the TUI, or click **Generate invite** in the web UI
+2. Share the `waste:...` link with your friend (Signal, email, anything)
+3. They open it in a browser or pass it to `waste-daemon --join 'waste:...'`
+
+Invite links encode the anchor URL and network name. The anchor never sees your messages.
+
+---
+
+## Running your own anchor server
+
+The anchor is a tiny signaling server that helps peers find each other — it never sees plaintext messages or file contents. You need a VPS with a domain and TLS.
+
+```bash
+# On your VPS:
+./waste-anchor -bind 127.0.0.1:8080
+```
+
+Put it behind nginx with a `/ws` WebSocket proxy and serve the web UI static files at `/`. See [README.md](README.md#hosting-on-a-vps) for the full nginx setup.

+```
+
+| File | What it is | Run it on |
+|---|---|---|

+| `waste-anchor-<os>-<arch>` | The signaling relay (no message content ever passes through it) | One server you control (VPS) |
+
+`<os>` is `linux`, `darwin` (macOS), or `windows`; `<arch>` is `amd64` or `arm64` (Windows builds are amd64 only). Windows binaries have a `.exe` suffix.

+chmod +x waste-daemon-linux-amd64

Clear it once after downloading: `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine waste-daemon-darwin-arm64` (or right-click → Open the first time, which prompts for an override).
+
+**Windows:** download the `.exe`, then run it from PowerShell or `cmd.exe`:
+
+```powershell
+.\waste-daemon-windows-amd64.exe -alias yourname -data-dir C:\waste --join "waste:eyJ..."
+```
+
+SmartScreen may warn about an unrecognized publisher on first run — these binaries aren't code-signed. Click "More info" → "Run anyway".
+
+Once the daemon is running, drive it with the [TUI](#terminal-ui) (`./cmd/tui` built locally, or the web UI in [daemon mode](#daemon-mode-for-users-running-the-daemon-locally)) — the daemon itself has no UI of its own, it just exposes the local IPC API on port 17337.
+
+The `waste-anchor` binary is for whoever is hosting a network — see [Hosting on a VPS](#hosting-on-a-vps) below for the full anchor + web UI setup. For a quick local anchor (e.g. testing on a LAN), just run:
+
+```bash
+./waste-anchor-linux-amd64 -bind 0.0.0.0:8080
+```
+
+> **No desktop app build in the current release.** A native Wails desktop app (`cmd/app/`) exists in the source tree, but the CI step that packages it for releases was broken (wrong output path) until this fix — earlier tagged releases only have daemon/anchor binaries. The next tag will include `waste-linux-amd64`. Until then, build it yourself with `./build-app.sh` (see [Desktop app (Wails)](#desktop-app-wails) below).

+### 4. TURN relay (optional, fixes mobile / CGNAT)
+
+WebRTC hole-punching fails when both peers are behind symmetric NAT — common on mobile data and some ISPs. A TURN relay fixes this. It runs directly on the VPS, not through Nginx Proxy Manager.
+
+**Firewall:** open UDP 3478 (and optionally TCP 3478) on the Hetzner firewall. No NPM config needed — coturn speaks its own protocol.
+
+**Install coturn:**
+
+```bash
+apt install coturn
+```
+
+**`/etc/turnserver.conf`:**
+
+```
+listening-port=3478
+fingerprint
+use-auth-secret
+static-auth-secret=YOUR_SECRET_HERE
+realm=your-domain.com
+no-tcp-relay
+```
+
+Generate your own secret (do not reuse the example above):
+
+```bash
+openssl rand -hex 32
+```
+
+Enable and start:
+
+```bash
+systemctl enable coturn
+systemctl start coturn
+```
+
+**Update `config.js`** to tell browsers about the TURN server:
+
+```js
+window.WASTE_CONFIG = {
+  signalURL: 'wss://your-domain.com/ws',
+  turnURL: 'turn:your-domain.com:3478',
+  turnSecret: 'YOUR_SECRET_HERE',
+}
+```
+
+The `use-auth-secret` mode generates short-lived TURN credentials from the shared secret — no user database required. The relay only sees opaque DTLS-encrypted blobs.
+
+> The browser adapter reads `turnURL` and `turnSecret` from `WASTE_CONFIG` and adds the TURN server to the WebRTC `ICEServers` list automatically. If not configured, STUN-only is used (works for most desktop/home NAT situations).
+
+**Daemon mode TURN:** pass `-turn-url turn:your-domain.com:3478 -turn-secret YOUR_SECRET_HERE` when starting the daemon. The same coturn `use-auth-secret` HMAC-SHA1 scheme is used — no extra config required beyond what you set up for browser mode.

 ## How it works: daemon vs browser mode
@@ -94,17 +224,117 @@ There are two ways to use the web UI.
 
 ### Browser mode (for anyone with just a URL)
 
-When the web UI is served from a non-localhost origin it runs entirely in the browser — no daemon, no install. Crypto (Ed25519/X25519) runs via libsodium compiled to WebAssembly. The identity seed is stored in `localStorage` and persists across sessions.
+When the web UI is served from a non-localhost origin — or locally with `config.js` setting `signalURL` — it runs entirely in the browser. No daemon, no install. Crypto (Ed25519/X25519) runs via libsodium compiled to WebAssembly. The identity seed is stored in `localStorage` and persists across sessions.
 
 A user visits your domain, enters their name and a network name, and joins. Invite links (`waste:…` or `?n=name&a=wss://…`) pre-fill the join form.
 
 **Identity note:** browser mode uses the master identity directly (same keypair on all networks, compatible with yaw2). The daemon derives a separate keypair per network via HKDF. A browser user and a daemon user on the same network will see each other and can chat — they just appear as different peers even if they're the same person.
 
+**Mobile:** the web UI ships a PWA manifest (`manifest.json`) so iOS and Android users can pin it to their home screen via "Add to Home Screen" in Safari or Chrome. It runs as a standalone app with no browser chrome. No app store, no native install required.
+
+**Session persistence:** the last-used network name, alias, and anchor URL are saved to `localStorage`. On reload, the browser automatically rejoins the saved network — no login screen. To leave a network or switch identity, click the **⏻** button in the top-left of the sidebar. You'll be asked whether to also clear the identity keypair (export a backup first if you want to keep it).
+
 ### Daemon mode (for users running the daemon locally)
 
 `launch-web.sh` starts the Go daemon and the Vite dev server. The web UI connects to the local daemon over WebSocket IPC (`ws://127.0.0.1:17338`). The daemon handles all crypto and connects to the anchor.
 
-When the web UI is loaded from `localhost`, it defaults to daemon mode. A "Switch to browser mode" button is available in the join screen if the daemon is not running.
+When the web UI is loaded from `localhost` without a `config.js`, it defaults to daemon mode. A "Switch to browser mode" button is available in the join screen if the daemon is not running.
+
+---
+
+## File sharing (browser mode)
+
+File transfer runs peer-to-peer over WebRTC DataChannels — files never touch the anchor or any server.
+
+### Sharing a folder
+
+In the sidebar under **Sharing**, click **+ Share folder** to pick a local directory. The selected files become available for peers to browse and download. A checkbox lets you control whether subfolders are included (default: yes).
+
+Multiple folders can be shared — each appears in the list with a ↺ re-pick button (to restore after a page reload) and a ✕ remove button. The share list is saved in `localStorage` so it survives reloads; you'll be prompted to re-pick any folder whose files were lost on reload.
+
+> Your browser will show a warning along the lines of "really upload X files?" when you pick a folder. This is a built-in browser security prompt — **no files are uploaded anywhere.** Files are transferred directly to a peer only when they explicitly request one via the file browser.
+
+### Browsing a peer's files
+
+Hover over a peer in the sidebar to reveal action buttons. Click **⊞** to request their file list. A panel opens on the right showing their shared files. Folders appear first and are clickable — navigate into them with a breadcrumb trail at the top. Sort by name or size; search to filter across all files in the current directory. Click **↓** next to any file to download it directly from that peer.
+
+### Sending a file directly
+
+Hover over a peer and click **📎** to open a file picker. The selected file is pushed immediately to that peer — they don't need to be sharing anything. The recipient's browser auto-downloads the file on arrival.
+
+### Transfer resume (daemon mode)
+
+When a file transfer is interrupted mid-stream — peer disconnects, network drops — the partially-received data is kept on disk. A `.meta` sidecar is written alongside each in-progress `.tmp` file recording the file name, size, and SHA-256.
+
+When the peer reconnects and re-offers the same file, the daemon finds the matching partial by SHA-256, sends back a `file-accept` with a non-zero `resume_offset`, and the sender seeks to that byte position before streaming. The receiver appends to the existing file and verifies the full SHA-256 at the end.
+
+Corrupted transfers (all bytes received but hash mismatch) are removed. Interrupted transfers are kept indefinitely until either successfully completed or the `.tmp`/`.meta` files are manually deleted.
+
+> In daemon mode, use `add_share` / `remove_share` via IPC to manage share roots. Share configuration is stored in `shares.json` next to `identity.json` in the data directory and survives restarts. `networks: ["*"]` makes a share visible on all networks; omit to scope it to specific network IDs. The legacy `set_share_dir` single-dir command still works alongside it.
+
+### Daemon download directory
+
+Received files are saved into a per-network subdirectory so networks stay isolated. By default this is inside the data directory:
+
+```
+~/.waste/downloads-<network-id>/
+```
+
+Pass `-download-dir` at startup to use a different base:
+
+```bash
+go run ./cmd/daemon -download-dir ~/Downloads ...
+```
+
+Files then land in `~/Downloads/downloads-<network-id>/`. The path can also be changed at runtime via the `set_download_dir` IPC command (takes effect for the next incoming transfer on that network). The current path is reported in every `state_snapshot` event under `networks[].download_dir`.
+
+---
+
+## Desktop app (Wails)
+
+`cmd/app/` is a [Wails v2](https://wails.io) shell that packages the React frontend and the daemon logic into a single native binary for Windows, macOS, and Linux. No Rust, no Electron — just Go + the OS webview.
+
+The daemon runs embedded in the same process. The webview connects to `ws://127.0.0.1:17338` exactly as it does in browser-daemon mode, so the frontend code is unchanged. Identity and stores use the OS config directory (`~/Library/Application Support/waste` on macOS, `~/.config/waste` on Linux, `%APPDATA%\waste` on Windows).
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.24+
+- Node.js 20+
+- Wails CLI: `go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest`
+- Linux platform deps: `sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev`
+
+### Build
+
+```bash
+# Production build → dist/waste-linux-amd64 (or waste.exe / waste.app)
+./build-app.sh
+
+# Dev mode (hot-reload; start Vite in another terminal: cd web && npm run dev)
+./build-app.sh dev
+
+# Build without system tray (no libayatana-appindicator3-dev needed)
+CGO_ENABLED=1 WAILS_TAGS=notray ./build-app.sh
+```
+
+`build-app.sh` builds the React frontend, copies `web/dist/` into `cmd/app/frontend/dist/` for embedding, then runs `wails build`. The result is a single self-contained binary.
+
+### What the desktop app provides
+
+- **Single binary** — daemon logic is embedded, no subprocess to manage
+- **System tray** (Linux/Windows) — hide to tray, reopen from tray menu, Quit
+- **macOS** — hides to Dock on window close; full menu-bar tray is future work
+- **OS notifications** — native popup on new message or completed file transfer (uses the browser `Notification` API via Wails events; the app will request permission on first notification)
+- **Data directory** — OS-appropriate config dir (`~/.config/waste`, `~/Library/Application Support/waste`, `%APPDATA%\waste`)
+
+### CI / automated builds
+
+`.gitea/workflows/build.yml` runs on every `v*` tag push:
+
+- **Server binaries** (daemon + anchor): cross-compiled for Linux amd64/arm64, macOS amd64/arm64, Windows amd64 — no CGo, no special runner needed
+- **Desktop app**: Linux amd64 on the default runner (installs GTK + WebKit + appindicator deps automatically)
+- **Releases**: all artifacts attached to the Gitea release
+
+To add macOS or Windows desktop builds, add self-hosted Gitea runners on those platforms and mirror the `desktop-linux` job.

+### Signed invites and invite-only networks (waste-go extension)

+Invites generated by `generate_invite` are **cryptographically signed** by the generating peer. The `waste:` payload carries an `inviter` field (Ed25519 public key) and a `sig` field (signature over anchor + network + inviter). When Bob joins, the invite is forwarded in the `hello` message so Alice can verify it.

+### "Come hang" hang links
+
+The 🔗 button in the web UI copies a **hash-based hang link**:
+
+```
+https://your-domain.com/#waste:eyJ...
+```
+
+The fragment (`#...`) is never sent to the server, so the network name stays server-opaque. Anyone who opens the link gets the join form pre-filled — but they still need a proper signed invite to be accepted on networks with `require_invite` enabled. Suitable for public announcements of open or semi-open networks.
