 6. **Keynctr branding.** Replaced the visible `SOLARPUNK SUMMIT` / `KITCHEN 484` labels with `Keynctr` in the window, page title, sidebar, home screen, settings, and tests. Rebuilt artifacts: `frontend/release/Keynctr-0.1.0.AppImage` and `frontend/release/keynectr_0.1.0_amd64.deb`.

 - Branding verification: `npm test`, `npm run typecheck`, `npm run lint`, `npm run format:check`, `npm run electron:build`, `npm run build`, and `npx electron-builder --linux AppImage deb` passed.
 - Frontend build no longer reports the Cosmic font `@import` ordering warning; standard Vite/ESM and ESLint module warnings remain.
 - Wayland `--ozone-platform` / `has no handler` messages on `electron:build` are harmless.
+- NIP-46 fix: use a persistent subscription instead of the auto-closing `stream_events` helper, so clients can send requests after EOSE.
 
 ## How to resume / reproduce
 GUI (Cosmic): `cargo build --release && cd frontend && npm run build && npm run electron:build && npm start` (or dev: `npm run dev` in one terminal + `NOSTR_GUI_DEV_URL=http://localhost:5173 npm start` in second). Settings → Appearance → `Cosmic — Stardust`. CLI: `cargo run -- settings set theme cosmic`.
 - Build installers: `cd frontend && npm run build && npm run electron:build && npx electron-builder --linux AppImage deb`. Install the `.deb` with `sudo apt install ./release/keynectr_0.1.0_amd64.deb`, or run the AppImage with `./release/SOLARPUNK\ SUMMIT-0.1.0.AppImage`.
 - Current installers: `sudo apt install ./release/keynectr_0.1.0_amd64.deb`, or `./release/Keynctr-0.1.0.AppImage`.
+- Signer GUI: unlock vault, open `Signer`, select remote signer in the client, paste its `nostrconnect://` URI, then approve requests. CLI: `cargo run --release -- signer connect <nostrconnect://...>`.
 
 ## Outstanding / next-step items
 - Undo restores with empty `secret_key` (stores `ProfileSummary`); needs `StoredProfile` in `undo_history` for full secret recovery.
