   @vickydve has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 8th wave.

   Hi, I'd like to work on this issue. I'll write docs/glossary.md covering the three vocabularies in the codebase: messaging/E2EE terms (envelope, prekey, ratchet, safety number, epoch, sealed box, fan-out), Stellar/Soroban terms (ledger, XDR, SAC, passphrase, Freighter), and project-specific coinages (device set mismatch, sibling device, resume cursor, group control event). Each entry will get a one-to-three sentence definition with a pointer to the implementing module, clearly marking which terms are standard vs. project-specific, and explicitly disambiguating confusable pairs like ciphertext vs. envelope ciphertext, deviceId vs. senderDeviceId, and epoch vs. sequence. I'll verify definitions against the source before opening a PR.
