⚡ USERNAME EDITING COMPLETE - READY FOR DEMO

✅ What's Been Added (FAST)

1. Username Editing in Settings

Users can now edit their username directly from Settings → Account tab.

  • Click "Edit" button next to username field
  • Enter new username
  • Click "Save" - updates Appwrite account name instantly
  • Page auto-refreshes to show new username everywhere

2. Username Display Priority

Display name now prioritizes Appwrite account name (the username):

  • First: Account name (the editable username)
  • Second: Profile display name
  • Third: Wallet address (shortened)

3. User Discovery by Username

Search now uses Appwrite account name:

  • Type username in "Start New Chat" modal
  • Searches by account name
  • Shows results with @username format
  • Works perfectly for finding users

4. Visual Improvements

  • Username shown with @ badge in settings
