Features

• 4-Layer Video Duration Fix — Backward moov scan when forward scan misses moov (size=0 box); return max(mvhdDur, bestTrackDur) for fragmented MP4s; durationchange handler updates knownDuration; dur() uses max(knownDuration, video.duration) safety net.

• Mobile Status Circle Fix — PONG handler updates friend.lastSeen+status; MESSAGE handler refreshes sender status; onPeerFound sets lastSeen + re-renders.
• Emoji Reaction Fix — Desktop store.js packet.to→packet.from swap for DM reaction routing; mobile reactions-row gets data-msg-id attribute.
• Mobile Overlay Controls Fix — touchstart handler for instant overlay; _touchTap guard prevents destructive click toggle; touch-action: manipulation CSS.
• Code Block UI Redesign — Styled container with header bar, language badge, Copy button; inline code accent color border.
• Copy Code Button — Clipboard API + "Copied!" feedback with execCommand fallback; wired on both platforms.
• Chat List Preview Cleaned — Markdown stripped from sidebar previews (code→"code", URLs→"link", bold/italic/hash removed, truncated at 80 chars).
• Desktop sanitize.js Synced — Desktop now loads updated copy with all code block improvements (was using old standalone copy).
• Technical: Version bumped to v0.2.7-beta across all manifests.
