Branch: Open your PR against dev. PRs targeting main are closed automatically.

Description:
Write docs/adr/0002-signal-dms-mls-groups.md using the template from #320. Record why direct messages use X3DH plus the Double Ratchet while groups use MLS, and the transition plan from the Phase-1 sealed box.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Follows the ADR template
  • Covers the trade-offs that drove the split: per-device fan-out cost in large groups, MLS's lack of history for new members, and library and audit maturity
  • References the existing decision material (docs/signal-integration.md, apps/backend/docs/signal-migration.md) instead of restating it
  • Status reflects reality: which parts are live, which are implemented but not wired, and which are planned

    • Architectural Scope: Review codebase conventions, architectural structure, and requirements for ADR: Signal for direct messages, MLS for groups.

    2. Implementation Strategy & Invariants

    • Deliver clean, modular code following the repository's established design patterns and TypeScript/Rust conventions.
    • Preserves backward compatibility and strict type invariants across existing public APIs and internal interfaces.

    3. Verification & Quality Assurance Guarantee

    • Run full local test and lint suites to ensure 100% green CI/CD passing with zero regressions.
    • CI Guarantee: 100% green local test runs, zero linter/formatter warnings, and clean build checks before opening the PR.

    4. Turnaround SLA & Track Record

    • Zero Maintainer Overhead: Fully autonomous execution—branch is ready, dependencies reproduced locally, and ready to push.
