Worked on the chatmail/core repository to enhance the secure join process by refining user feedback messaging. Focused on updating the fallback text for the 'takes longer' scenario, the work clarified that the contact must be online and that the operation continues in the background, directly addressing user confusion and aligning frontend messaging with backend behavior. Applied skills in code refactoring, internationalization, and localization using C and Rust, ensuring the update was low-risk and did not alter core logic. This targeted UX improvement aimed to reduce support inquiries and improve the overall user experience by providing clearer, actionable information during secure joins.
