-WRAITH Protocol is production-ready with desktop, mobile, and messaging applications featuring full protocol integration, real-time voice/video calling, and advanced group messaging. Phase 17 completes the mobile ecosystem with actual WRAITH protocol bindings (replacing placeholders), secure native storage (Android Keystore, iOS Keychain), push notifications (FCM/APNs), encrypted voice/video calls (Opus/VP8/VP9), and Sender Keys group messaging for efficient multi-party encryption. Version 1.7.1 adds a comprehensive UI redesign for WRAITH-Chat with professional header, sidebar navigation, enhanced message bubbles, 7-tab settings modal, video call overlay, and group creation wizard. Additionally, v1.7.1 standardizes UI/UX across all WRAITH desktop clients (Transfer, Chat, Sync) with consistent color palette (slate tones), modal styling, accessibility improvements, and a new comprehensive UI/UX Design Reference document.
