Phase 0 crypto spike is COMPLETE. All tests passed. Proceed with Expo migration.
- X25519 Key Generation - Working ✅
- ECDH Key Exchange - Working ✅
- AES-256-GCM Encryption - Working ✅
- HKDF-SHA256 Key Derivation - Working ✅
- Utterd Compatibility - Matches perfectly ✅
- Performance - <10ms per operation ✅

└── PHASE0-DECISION.md ✅ GO decision rationale
- Create
mobile-app/directory - Set up Expo project with TypeScript
- Install dependencies (use pnpm, managed by mise)
- Copy
crypto-spike/CryptoTest-AES-GCM.tsas crypto module - Set up React Navigation
# Use pnpm (NOT npm) for all package management
pnpm add <package> # Add dependency
pnpm add -D <package> # Add dev dependency
pnpm install # Install all dependencies
# Use mise for toolchain management
mise use -g node@20 # Set Node.js version
mise use -g pnpm@8 # Set pnpm version- Use pnpm, not npm - Consistent with relay-server and linux-test-client
- Use mise for toolchain - Manages Node.js and pnpm versions
- AES-256-GCM is the chosen algorithm - Matches utterd exactly
- Development build required - Not Expo Go (due to react-native-quick-crypto)
- Crypto module ready - Copy from crypto-spike/CryptoTest-AES-GCM.ts
GO Decision Confidence: 95% (Very High)
Rationale:
- All crypto primitives working perfectly ✅
- Matches utterd implementation exactly ✅
- No changes needed to relay server or utterd ✅
- Performance excellent (<10ms) ✅
- Clear implementation path ✅
- No showstoppers identified ✅
- docs/EXPO.md - Complete migration plan (updated with Phase 0 results)
- crypto-spike/PHASE0-DECISION.md - Detailed GO/NO-GO decision
- crypto-spike/PHASE0-RESULTS.md - Test results and findings
