Bugs: - crash happening on settings page fixed - unresponsive screens fixed

• Flash Quest Multiplier — Flash quests now show boosted rewards when a multiplier is active. Some quests can opt out of the boost if they want. • Better Image/Video Sizing in Posts — Post images and videos now get their correct dimensions directly from the server, so they display at the right size immediately. If the server doesn't send the size info, the app figures it out on its own like before. • Background Push Notifications — The app can now receive push notifications from the mirage.vote server. It securely registers your device and handles permissions properly. Firebase config was also added for Android. • Mirage Links Open In-App — Any mirage link you tap in a post or comment will now open inside the app instead of launching a browser — no matter which mirage server the link belongs to. Navigation feels instant because the app shows the post right away while loading additional details in the background. • New Posts Banner Always Shows Avatars — The "new posts" banner at the top of your feed now always shows 1–3 user avatars. Before, it would sometimes hide them if there weren't enough new posts.

 Bug Fixes: • Random Audio Playing in Background (Fixed) — Videos and audio would sometimes keep playing when you left a screen, switched tabs, or minimized the app. This is now fixed across the feed, post detail, and profile screens — media properly pauses when it's not visible. The app's foreground/background detection was also made more reliable. • Media Border Fix — Images and videos in post cards now have clean, consistent rounded corners everywhere instead of sometimes looking cut off or misaligned. • Duplicate Comments Fix — Comments would sometimes appear twice after posting. Now the app refreshes the comment list after posting to prevent duplicates, and removed old logic that was causing the issue. • Quest Reward Claim Fix — The quest rewards were sometimes wrongly showing as already claimed when the flash quest wasn't finished yet. Now it correctly shows the view all button on summary card . • Inbox Loads Faster — The inbox now starts loading sooner and marks messages as seen immediately instead of waiting, so it feels snappier.

Bug Fixes • Server Error Handling — The app now displays the correct server error message along with the error code when received. The option to change servers from the Cloudflare error toast has been removed. • Android Notification Icon — Increased the app icon size in the Android notification status bar for better visibility. • Adult Content Popup — Fixed an issue where the adult content popup wasn't showing after creating a new account. The hasSeenAdultPrompt state now properly resets on logout. • Claim Rewards Total — Fixed incorrect reward totals by applying the multiplier to the mirage reward calculation, ensuring accurate amounts after claiming. • Inbox Highlighting — Fixed a bug where all inbox messages appeared highlighted after login. The highlightBaselineAt value is now initialized with the current timestamp instead of 0. • Bottom Nav Bar on Notification — Fixed the bottom navigation bar not being visible when opening the inbox from a notification. The app now signals tabs ready and waits for navigation before routing to inbox. • Video Playback — Mute/Unmute — Improved video visibility detection threshold from 1% to 20% and simplified center index calculation for better mute/unmute behavior when scrolling. • Video Playback — Side Menu — Videos now pause when the side menu is opened. Added side menu open/dismiss callbacks and state tracking to control playback. • Video Playback — Post Details — Videos in post details now stop playing when the user scrolls down to the comments section. Scroll position is tracked relative to the post header height to toggle video visibility. • In-App Link Handling — Mirage links found in post comments now only open inside the app if the server matches the current session. Extracted an internal link handler utility with server-aware URL opening logic. • Gradient Header Spacing — Fixed the top left and right gap that appeared in the gradient header. Features & Improvements: • X (Twitter) Shared Link Auto-Fill — Improved parsing of shared tweet text. The first line is now used as the title (without the username), and remaining lines populate the body. • X Shared Link Multi-Video Support — The app now supports extracting and uploading up to 10 videos from shared X (Twitter) links. • Media Attachment Limit — A maximum media count check is now enforced while extracting videos from shared links, preventing users from exceeding the allowed number of attachments. • Video Duration Check — A 59-second content length limit is now enforced when processing multiple videos from shared content. • Faster Agent Updates — Agents are now immediately updated after Proof of Work is solved, rather than waiting for blockchain confirmation. Cache invalidation for blockchain confirmation now happens in the background. • YouTube Watch Button — A new "Watch on YouTube" button has been added for Android, visible in both the feed and detail view. • Clear Drafts on Logout — The draft store is now cleared alongside other stores when the user logs out, ensuring a clean state for the next session.
