Live Lightning balance, a pinned balance bar, and a legibility/polish pass.

Added

  • Relax mode. Timed auto-sign window (5, 15, or 30 minutes) for trusted sites. A persistent status bar counts down the remaining time with an End button to revoke early. Resolves the friction of approving every action during active sessions on shared hosts.
  • Pinned wallet balance bar. Lightning balance is pinned to the panel and visible at all times, not just from the wallet section. Incoming payments update automatically via NIP-47 notifications (with a 30-second polling fallback) and trigger a gold glow pulse on the balance number. Appears immediately on wallet connect or restore. Unpin with a single click.

Changed

  • Tightened the switch-account tip and wallet onboarding copy for clarity.
  • Shortened the shared-identity heads-up blurb shown during signing approvals.
  • Film Noir's balance numbers are now gold (matching Speakeasy) instead of silver, so Lightning amounts read warm even in the monochrome theme.

Fixed

  • Art Deco legibility pass. On the light theme, several elements colored for a dark backdrop were washing out: the key-backup box and its warning text, the signing-approval event preview and caution banner, the wallet balance and transaction colors, the NIP-05 verification badges, and the "Pay with Sidecar" card's logo, error, and paid states. All now read clearly against the eggshell background.
  • The Close button on an expired standalone approval popup now works. Previously, when a request timed out in the popup shown with the sidebar closed, "Close" did nothing — the request had already been purged, so the approval message had nothing to act on and the window never closed. Close now dismisses the popup directly.
  • Restored the themed background on the Wallets and Help pages, which had fallen back to a flat color after the 1.5.0 theme refactor moved the pattern into its own stylesheet.
  • coinos transaction descriptions no longer render as a raw array — the human-readable memo is extracted from the structured LNURL-style descriptor.
