Summary

Share repair. A member who lost their device and has no backup gets their share back from as many members as the threshold, without moving the funds.

• The scheme: FROST's repairable threshold scheme, frost_core::keys::repairable.
• Privacy: the helpers never learn the share.
• Limit: a group where every member must sign (2 of 2, 3 of 3) can't repair a share.

The flow

1. On the new device: open Groups → Recover a group. Send a member your contact code and read them its safety code.
2. A helper: open the group's page → Recovery & share repair → Repair a member's share. Choose the member, paste their new contact code, tick that its safety code matches, choose the helpers, and click Start repair. Send the member the repair code it shows.
3. The other helpers: the request appears under Approvals with the same safety code. Click Approve and help.
4. On the new device: paste the repair code and click Recover. The group appears with its wallet syncing from where it started.

Protocol

It runs over a frostd session marked REPAIR_SESSION that holds the helpers and the member's new key.

Message	From	To	Carries
Request	the helper who started	everyone	the member, their new key, the helpers
Delta	each helper	each other helper	step 1
Share	each helper	the member	step 2, plus the group's data: public key package, members, viewing seed, and where its wallet starts scanning
Done	the member	the helpers	whether the rebuilt share checked out

Checks

• A joining helper refuses a session that isn't exactly the named helpers plus one key from outside the group, or whose member is a helper or isn't a member.
• The member's app keeps nothing unless:
  • every helper describes the same group;
  • that group names this device's key as the member's;
  • the rebuilt key package matches the group's public verifying share for that member.
  • Wallet start heights may differ between helpers, since each app records its own; the earliest is kept.

The member's new key

• This is the trust decision. The member comes back with a new communication key, so helpers compare its safety code with them before approving.
• Helpers switch first. Each helper's app vouches for the new key in the group's records (MemberKey), then switches. The vouch goes out to the members as they were before the switch: an app that doesn't know the new key yet would refuse a session that includes it.
• The other members switch once enough helpers vouch. That means as many as a payment needs (polls::vouched_member_keys). One member alone can't redirect another's identity.
• The starting helper keeps the session open a minute after success, so the other helpers can still read the member's confirmation.

Stolen, not lost

Repair rebuilds the same share. If a device may have been stolen, whoever has it still holds the share. The UI and the user guide say to move the funds to a new group instead. Share refresh (new shares for the same key) is listed in TODO.md as a follow-up.

Changes

• Core
  • New repair.rs: the protocol, RepairCode (with chat-safe decoding), and the pure deltas and rebuild functions.
  • polls.rs: MemberKey and vouched_member_keys.
  • dkg.rs: SessionIo helpers made crate-visible.
• App
  • New commands/repair.rs: start_repair, join_repair (approved with respond_to_signing), read_repair_code, receive_repair, apply_vouched_keys.
  • contacts.rs: read_contact.
  • Pending sessions gain the kind repair, matched to a group with exactly one outside key.
  • Vouched keys are applied as group records arrive.
• Frontend
  • Recover a group on Groups.
  • Repair a member's share, replacing the guide that said repair wasn't built yet.
  • Repair requests in Approvals, counted in the badge.
  • Repair events in the ceremony store.
• Docs: user guide (Repairing a lost share), CHANGELOG, PRIVACY.md, TODO.md.

Testing

• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
• cargo test --workspace
• tsc, then vitest (55 tests)
• Core tests:
  • helpers_rebuild_a_lost_share_that_matches_the_groups_record_of_it: RedPallas and Ed25519, with an exact key package and a wrong part refused.
  • Group data must agree and name the new key, with differing start heights tolerated.
  • The repair code survives being pasted through a chat app.
  • a_members_new_key_counts_once_enough_members_vouch_for_it.
• Live test over a real frostd, tests/repair.rs (passed 3 of 3 runs):
  • Carol's share in a 2-of-4 group is repaired onto a new device, with Alice and Bob helping.
  • The device ends up with Carol's key package byte for byte, and the group's viewing seed.
  • Alice, Bob and Erin (who didn't help) all switch to the new key.
• Frontend tests:
  • Starting a repair, gated on the safety-code comparison and enough helpers.
  • Recovering on a new device.
  • Reviewing and approving a repair request in Approvals.
