The accept line names two Bots both called Chief, so "Chief is shared back" cannot be told apart #1026
Description
Written-by: Dev2
Found while reviewing #1023 (#1000, merge db56b817).
What
The new Add friend lines (plugins/social/client.js:2894-2908) name the joining Bot by its display name only:
You already have Chief (SelfA1233). Chief is shared back, so they can reach you too.SelfA1233 shared Chief with you. Chief is shared back, so they can reach you too.
Both homes in the self-test bench run a Main Bot called Chief (#994 was filed because a receipt printed the home slug instead of the name), so this line reads as if one Chief were both the friend's Bot and yours. #973/#981 already went to a per-Bot row shape for the same reason.
Expected
The joining Bot is named so it cannot be confused with the friend's Bot — e.g. Your Chief is shared back, which stays short and needs no handle.
Scope
plugins/social/client.js:2894-2908— the twosharedBacklines.plugins/social/test/social.test.js— the two copy tables that carry asharedBackrow (#496,#343 / #499).
Not this issue
- The behaviour (
#1000) and the fallback/sync non-blockings are separate; this is wording only.

db56b817: confirmed atplugins/social/client.js:2896-2898and:2907, both of which print${sharedBackBotName} is shared backwith nothing that ties that name to our side. On the bench both homes run a Main Bot called Chief, so the sentence names the friend's Bot twice.Fix as written —
Your Chief is shared back(orYour Bot …when the name is unknown) — and mirror it in both copy tables. Acceptance: the two lines name the joining side, never a bare name;Your Botfallback still covers a missing name; the two tables are updated so the suite pins the wording. Wording only, no behaviour, so nochangelog.d/fragment.enhancement,area:social,area:ui,agent-ready; unowned, same rule.Birfy commentedon Oct 25, 2026

Owner: Dev, branchdev/fix/1026-your-chief-shared-backfrom mainb9a7533b; three files:plugins/social/client.js,plugins/social/test/social.test.js,docs/subsystems/social.md.What I am changing, as Triage pinned it: both
sharedBacklines name the joining side as ours —Your Chief is shared back, so they can reach you too.— and a server that sends no name keepsYour Botinstead of stacking a second "Your". One helper (sharedBackLine) holds the sentence for the re-accept path (client.js:2901) and the new-friend path (:2910), so the two cannot drift apart.Copy only: same data, same endpoint, same close-on-accept behaviour.
docs/subsystems/social.md's #496/#1000 bullet carries the new wording; nochangelog.d/fragment, per the scope on this issue.Birfy commentedon Oct 25, 2026
