Peers' chat-list labels now cascade: contact nickname → kind:0 display name →
BNS handle → pk preview. Avatars render as a URL picture when kind:0 carries
one, with initials as fallback. Profiles are fetched on demand (background,
non-blocking) when a new peer pk shows up in the inbox or contact list, and
cached on disk so a cold start renders instantly.
- lib/hermes.js: buildProfileEvent({sk, displayName, picture, about}) emits
a signed kind:0 with `name` + `display_name` set together (clients vary
on which they prefer). parseProfileContent(content) handles both.
- main.js: profile cache at <userData>/hermes/profiles.json; auto-fetch
from HERMES_DEFAULT_RELAYS with a 4 s per-relay cap. hermesPublishEvent
centralises relay publish (used by profile save; send() retains its
inlined copy for the DRY-up later). hermesRecord() kicks off a background
profile fetch the first time a peer is seen; result fires on the
hermes-profile bus event.
- main.js: _hermesAPI.updateProfile / getProfile. Addon proxies both.
- panel.html: Settings → Profile editor (display name, picture URL, about);
publishes on save, pre-fills from the cache. Picture validated as http(s).
labelFor() + avatarFor() centralise the display cascade. Profile state
lives in state.profiles.
