src/app.jsx carries its own SB_DESKTOP_VERSION for the compact download
table; src/components/ui/DownloadApps.jsx carries DESKTOP_VERSION for the
grid. Bumping one leaves the other pointing at a tag whose filenames no
longer exist — the failure tests/desktop-download-links.test.mjs was written
for, and which it caught here.
The i18n scan also learns that these dictionaries feed two clients. The
desktop client is a separate repository, so its keys can never appear in a
scan of this src/ and were being reported as dead strings to delete.
Group calls are a new capability, and 6.6.6 only landed as a patch because the
version was bumped once per deploy while the feature was being tested. The
number is the release's, not the deploy's.
No code changes: version, badge, changelog heading, docs and build stamp.

A group call is N-1 ordinary 1:1 calls, one to each other member, each riding
the pairwise session that member already has — a transport a human already
authenticated by comparing the safety code. No mixer, no SFU, no point at which
two people's media meets anywhere but on a device.
Call control is separate from call media, because the two reach different sets
of people. Who opened a call, who joined and who left travels as group frames
signed with the sender's group identity key, so it reaches members currently
reachable only through a relay — and a relaying member can drop one but cannot
write one. Media flows only where a direct link exists, so a member without one
shows as connecting rather than being omitted. Frames carry a per-sender
sequence checked before the action, so a captured leave cannot end a later call,
and simultaneous calls converge on the lower random call id.
One capture is shared across every leg rather than one getUserMedia per member,
and legs answer without prompting: the flag permitting that is set only locally,
only while this user is in the call, and cleared when they leave.
UI: a gallery that sizes itself from the space it has, a spotlight view, an
active-speaker indicator read from the waveform, and the call surface in the
same visual language as the 1:1 one.
Also in this commit, the v6.5.0 language-suggestion work that had not been
pushed yet; its notes are in the changelog. And two fixes: the safety-code input
asks for digits rather than text, and starting a new chat from inside a group no
longer creates it behind the group where it cannot be seen — which had made it
impossible to connect to anyone new, or to add anyone to a group, while a group
was open.

Four right-to-left languages at /ar/, /he/, /fa/ and /ur/ — thirteen in all.
The layout no longer has a left and a right, it has a start and an end: the
margins, insets and corners are CSS logical properties now, so they follow
dir on <html>. Directional glyphs flip; keys, safety codes and session
descriptors are pinned left-to-right so bidi cannot reorder what two people
compare against each other's screens.
Also fixed: the Service Worker was registered as './sw.js', which 404s from
every locale subdirectory, so twelve of the thirteen pages had no worker at
all. And the bundler ran before the dictionaries were generated, so a newly
added language could reach the page ahead of the app that renders it.
