Description

I have Haven installed on two phones. Both were inactive last night. Both were activated in the morning and deactivated today evening.

I have been flooded with messages on Signal, supposedly triggered by Haven from one of the two phones during last night and early morning today. There is a complete recording of the whole night and early morning, with nothing remarkable in any of the clips (perhaps it is the sound of the fan in the room).

As I said, Haven was deactivated on both phones and there is nothing on the log of the phone from which these messages are supposed to have come.

I don't know whether it is something related to Haven or something else, but I guess the developers should know.

Also, sometimes there are events on the Haven log, but there is no message on Signal on the receiving phone, even though both the sending and the receiving phones are connected to the Internet.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the report with Haven on two Android phones, checking the Haven event log against Signal messages while the phones are inactive and then active. Done means the unexpected messages and missing Signal notifications are explained or reliably prevented, with the behavior covered by a reproducible test.
