Symptom: crew logo upload spins forever, and crew creation appears to do
nothing. Both go through Amber signEvent. Login (getPublicKey) works because
it uses Amber's silent content-resolver path, but signEvent must launch
Amber's approval Activity and wait for the result — and if that result never
comes back (buggy plugin build, user backs out, missing permission) the
bridge promise never settles, so the UI hangs with no error.
Changes:
- withTimeout() wraps every Amber bridge call (sign/getPublicKey/nip04/nip44)
with a 90s cap. A hung round-trip now rejects with a clear, actionable
message instead of spinning forever, which also unblocks the CrewForm
(isUploading/isPublishing finally resolve).
- setPackageName is now called ONCE per session (cached promise) instead of
before every op — repeated calls are needless bridge chatter and can wedge
on some builds.
NOTE (root cause, fixed on the build machine): package.json requests the
GitHub `main` build of nostr-signer-capacitor-plugin, but package-lock.json
still pins the old npm 0.0.5 (which the APK bundles). 0.0.5 is the version
prone to the signEvent activity-result hang. Regenerate the lockfile with
`npm install` so the `main` build is used — see chat for steps.

Root cause (same class as the camera bug): capacitorAmberSigner.ts used
`await import('nostr-signer-capacitor-plugin')`, but that package is marked
external in vite.config.ts and the native build uses inlineDynamicImports, so
the bare specifier survives in the APK bundle and the Android WebView can't
resolve it at runtime. The import threw, getPlugin() returned null, and every
Amber signing op — including the Blossom upload auth event that a Crew logo
upload needs — failed with "Capacitor Amber plugin not available".
Fix: access the native signer via Capacitor's registerPlugin('NostrSignerPlugin')
from the bundled @capacitor/core, and reimplement the plugin's thin JS wrapper
logic directly against the native bridge (options-object API per the plugin's
main source). This removes the broken dynamic import entirely and is version-
independent as long as the native plugin is registered. Covers both native
Amber login (getAmberPublicKeyViaPlugin) and all signing/encryption paths.

- JSObject from Capacitor needs JSON.parse(JSON.stringify()) to be
accessible as plain JS object with property access
- Restore AMBER_PACKAGE as argument (null was causing broken URI)
- Remove debug toast from LoginDialog

The Content Resolver silent path returns a cached/wrong key.
Passing null skips it and always opens Amber UI so the user
explicitly selects their key and the correct pubkey is returned.

NostrSigner.npubToHex() is called before putting result in "npub" field,
so the value is already a 64-char hex pubkey. Skip nip19.decode() and
use it directly. This was causing the "data must be at least 8 chars" error.

The actual plugin source uses positional args, not object params:
- getPublicKey(packageName)
- signEvent(packageName, eventJson, id, npub)
- nip04Encrypt/Decrypt(packageName, text, id, pubKey, npub)
- nip44Encrypt/Decrypt(packageName, text, id, pubKey, npub)
- isExternalSignerInstalled(packageName)
Previous implementation was based on wrong README docs.
Now based on actual dist/esm/index.js source.

- Use named export { NostrSignerPlugin } not mod.default
- setPackageName takes a plain string not { packageName: string }
- isExternalSignerInstalled takes packageName as argument
- These were the exact bugs causing "plugin not available" error

- Add CapacitorAmberSigner: a full NostrSigner implementation backed by
the native nostr-signer-capacitor-plugin (login, signEvent, nip04,
nip44 all go through Amber via native Android intents)
- LoginDialog: on Capacitor, call getAmberPublicKeyViaPlugin() directly
instead of the intent:// URL redirect — returns a Promise, no
callback URL or polling needed. Shows clear error if Amber not installed.
- useCurrentUser: on Capacitor amber logins use CapacitorAmberSigner
so every publish/sign goes through the plugin, not window.location.href
- Web/PWA path unchanged — still uses URL redirect + AmberSigner
