Browser:
- ECDH key pair saved to localStorage (chat-key-priv, chat-key-pub)
- Loaded on reconnect, only generated once
- Re-registers public key with server on every connect
- Corrupted keys auto-regenerate
Server:
- Keys saved to keys.json on disk after each registration
- Loaded on startup, survives restarts

Server:
- /keys POST: register ECDH public key (JWK) for a username
- /keys GET: list users with registered keys
- /keys/<user> GET: get user's public key
- /dm POST: relay encrypted DM blob to recipient
- SSE streams now register for DM delivery via name param
- Server never sees plaintext - only ciphertext passes through
Web UI:
- Auto-generates ECDH P-256 key pair on load (no setup needed)
- /dm @username message - sends E2E encrypted DM
- /users - list users with registered keys
- DMs shown with lock icon, pink color, direction arrows
- Decryption happens entirely in browser
- Key re-registered on name change
- Derived AES keys cached per peer
Protocol:
- ECDH key exchange: each client exports JWK public key
- Shared secret derived via ECDH P-256
- Messages encrypted with AES-256-GCM + random 12-byte nonce
- Ciphertext + nonce sent as base64 through server

- /group/<name> URL creates/joins a group (auto-created on first visit)
- / and /chat redirect to /group/lobby (default group)
- Each group has isolated history, clients, and SSE streams
- /setpass <password> sets a password for the current group
- /clearpass removes the password
- Password prompt modal in web UI, stored in sessionStorage
- SSE sends auth-fail event if wrong password, triggers re-prompt
- Group name shown as tag in header
- TCP clients use lobby group by default
