    # Nostr Compass 1.1.2 - Remember Send before starting an upload, so closing the app leaves a recoverable queued recording. - Show “Approve in Amber” when a background send needs your approval, while retaining the uploaded audio and account. - Open saved recordings from an upload reminder, and the relevant voice-note section from a new-recording notification, on both new and resumed launches. - Reload local worker checkpoints when returning to the app, and use short, readable recording statuses. - Preserve saved upload checkpoints when Android cancels background work. - Keep app-release articles out of the newsletter issue picker. - Sync relevant recordings and transcripts, and protect signed newsletters from unrelated relay traffic and a full voice-note cache. - Close podcast, relay, and upload connections off the UI thread so connection cleanup does not interrupt a refresh or completed send.
