Full Release Notes

## Highlights

- **Infonet Testnet** —  a currently obfuscated communications platform with more planned. Meshtastic off the grid support.
- **Gate messages on the hashchain** — encrypted Gate posts now propagate through normal Infonet chain sync. Only Gate members with MLS keys can decrypt. Every node carries the ciphertext.
- **Mesh reputation system** — node trust scoring, peer push workers, voluntary Wormhole opt-in for node participation
- **Wormhole gate encryption** — MLS-based key management for encrypted Gate chatrooms with per-gate personas
- **Self-updater hardened** — encryption keys, chain state, and identity files are now protected from being overwritten during auto-update
- **16 community contributors** credited in the changelog modal

## New Features

- Decentralized Infonet Testnet
- Shodan device search with map overlay
- Real-time train tracking (Amtrak + European rail)
- Sentinel Hub satellite imagery with OAuth2
- 8 new intelligence layers (volcanoes, air quality, severe weather, fishing activity, military bases, power plants, SatNOGS, TinyGS)
- CCTV expansion to 11,000+ cameras across 6 countries
- Mesh Terminal CLI for power users
- Prediction markets panel
- Desktop-shell scaffold (pre-Tauri)
- InfoNet Terminal with Gate view, Ballot view, Exchange view
- killwormhole scripts for clean shutdown

## Bug Fixes

- Fixed NODE AGREE button disappearing (auth mismatch)
- Fixed frontend/backend canonical hash mismatch on transport_lock
- Fixed sequence double-advance, cooldown on failed posts
- Fixed fork detection and hash mismatch from shallow copy mutation
- Removed orphaned useEffect cleanup in MessagesView
