Goal

Review the relevant AT Protocol and Bluesky messaging specifications before committing to a messaging UX or data model.

Scope

Identify the current protocol/API surface for direct messages and group chats, including authentication, account/handle identity, pagination, realtime/update behavior, media, and moderation.
Determine what is standardized AT Protocol behavior versus Bluesky-specific behavior.
Compare protocol constraints with a native Android architecture and the existing OAuth/DPoP/session model.
Record privacy, encryption, notification, offline, retry, and multi-account implications.

Acceptance criteria

A short research note links the authoritative specs and records the supported/unsupported operations.
A proposed minimum viable messaging slice and explicit out-of-scope list exist.
Follow-up implementation issues are filed only after the protocol review, rather than guessing from web-client behavior.
