Private messages (NIP-17) arrived in the foreground with no signal: no
unread count, no badge, no OS notification. Hook both into the single
InboxService.ingest choke point.
- UnreadService: per-peer "last read" in the keystore (timestamps+pubkey
only, no message text), live count via a changes stream, active-peer
suppression so the open chat never badges or notifies.
- UnreadBadge: reusable, RTL-aware (Flutter Badge) — on the home hamburger,
the drawer "Chat" item, and per-conversation in the messages list.
- Mark-read on chat open (ChatScreen).
- NotificationService over flutter_local_notifications: generic
"New message from <name>" (no message text, for privacy), payload = pubkey,
tap opens /chat/:pubkey. No-op on web/Windows; Android POST_NOTIFICATIONS.
- i18n notifications.newMessageFrom (en/es/pt/ast).
Background/push stays out of scope (foreground-only by design).
Tests: UnreadService, NotificationService (mock plugin), InboxService hooks
(new peer notifies/counts; duplicate, own, and open-chat do not), and a
UnreadBadge widget test. dart analyze clean; commons_core green.
