- Implemented Scroll Anchoring for History Loading: Introduced
PrependAnchorto prevent the “jump” effect when loading older messages. The system now tracks the row at the top of the visible area and programmatically adjusts the scroll position after prepending new content, ensuring the user’s viewport remains stable. - Optimized Message Rendering Performance: Developed an
EagerWindowmechanism to balance performance and visual stability. Instead of rendering all rows eagerly (which saturated the main thread) or relying entirely on lazy loading (which caused layout jumps), the system now eagerly lays out only the rows immediately surrounding the anchor point. - Refined History Prefetching and Application: Implemented a “fetch-while-scrolling, apply-at-rest” strategy. Older pages are now prefetched when the user scrolls within a specific threshold (
Kscreens from the top) but are only inserted into the UI once the list comes to a complete rest, eliminating mid-scroll jitter. - Enhanced Data Loading Efficiency: Reduced the
Load Earlierpage size from 20 to 10 rows. This minimizes the estimated height added during prepends, reducing the workload for the anchoring system and improving the perceived smoothness of the history timeline. - Improved UI State Persistence: Added a
RowExpansionStoreto track the expanded/collapsed state of message rows viareplyId. This prevents rows from unexpectedly collapsing when they move between lazy and eager rendering states during a history load. - Expanded Debugging and Validation Tooling: Built a comprehensive suite of “spike” instruments, including a
HistoryShiftProbeto measure pixel-perfect row movement and aSeededHistoryTransportto simulate various paging scenarios and latencies in the simulator.

- Architectural Redesign of Remote Fetching: Transitioned from per-request clients to a single, long-lived fetch client utilizing
swift-openapi-generator. This architecture leveragesTaskLocalcontexts and a customClientMiddlewareto dynamically handle target URLs, signing, and scheme policies, significantly improving resource efficiency. - Hardening of Network Transport & Security: Integrated
AsyncHTTPClient(AHC) as the primary transport layer to implement strict connection-level address checks, precise timeout controls (matching Mastodon’s 5s connect/10s read), and rigorousContent-Typevalidation to prevent unparsable or wildcard MIME types from entering the system. - Enhanced Security & Access Control: Tightened the
InboxFunctionsecurity posture by explicitly denying access to sensitive SSM paths, including session-signing keys, JWT-signing keys, and client tokens, ensuring the inbox only accesses the specific actor keys required for its operation. - Activity Handling & Reliability Fixes: Improved the robustness of federated interactions by implementing signed GET requests for remote actor documents (resolving 401 errors), adding idempotency to
Followactivity refreshes, and introducing a “claim-and-process” mechanism for inbox deduplication to ensure failed deliveries are retried. - Formalization of Reply-Threading Specification: Developed and iteratively refined a comprehensive design spec for reply-threading. This included multiple “skeptic” and advisory review rounds to finalize decisions on JSON-LD canonicalization, vendor-pinning of vetted dependencies, and the creation of a Linux-based test harness for validating TLS and address policies.
