Why
Buzz restores cached channels and messages before profile lookups complete. On launch, that briefly exposes pubkey-derived labels in place of familiar display names.
What
Risk Assessment
Low. The cache is disposable, capped at 1,000 entries per relay, scoped by normalized relay URL, and always revalidated. It contains only public label fields and does not restore avatars, agent ownership, or authorization state.
