fix: complete pyproject.toml deps + graceful QUIC fallback

2026-08-09T20:28:47Z

meshbay-node/pyproject.toml: add aioquic>=1.0 (was commented 'v2'), websockets>=12.0 (revocation push). Both are production code since Phase 5. meshbay-hub/pyproject.toml: add aiosqlite (tests without PostgreSQL), slowapi (rate limiting), websockets (revocation push), PyJWT (explicit). transport/__init__.py: QUIC imports wrapped in try/except — node works without aioquic (TCP+TLS + HTTP fallback). QUIC_AVAILABLE flag exported. QUICKSTART.md: replace manual pip list with 'pip install -e' that pulls all deps from pyproject.toml automatically. Add dependency table. CLAUDE.md: clarify that all deps go in pyproject.toml, not manual installs. 81/81 tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context)

fix: venv --clear required when copying repo across OS (Fedora→Ubuntu)

2026-08-09T19:55:12Z

Root cause: certifi.where() in the Fedora venv points to /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem which does not exist on Ubuntu. 'python3 -m venv .venv' without --clear keeps the Fedora certifi paths. Fix: always use --clear when recreating a venv on a different OS. Documented in QUICKSTART.md and CLAUDE.md. rsync command updated to exclude .venv/ (in QE/server-state, not versioned). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context)

fix: document pip SSL_CERT_FILE workaround for Python 3.14 on Ubuntu/Fedora

2026-08-09T19:43:31Z

pip + Python 3.14 fails with FileNotFoundError in certifi.where() on fresh venvs (truststore bug). Fix: SSL_CERT_FILE pointing to system CA bundle. Documented in CLAUDE.md (Python environment section) and QUICKSTART.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context)

feat: password-based key derivation + operational QUICKSTART

2026-08-09T12:50:22Z

keyderive.py: derive Ed25519+X25519 from username+password via Argon2id. Same credentials → same keys on any device. Encrypt/decrypt keypair bundle (AES-256-GCM) for hub storage (web clients). 7/7 tests. Full suite: 81/81. keyderive.js: browser counterpart using PBKDF2-SHA512 + random keypairs encrypted for hub storage. Avoids algorithm mismatch with Python. hub/models.py + users.py: keypair_bundle field added to User, stored on registration, returned in login response for web client key recovery. QUICKSTART.md: fully rewritten. 3 operational scripts in QE/demo-v1/: setup_demo.py — create accounts, group, distribute GEK run_node.py — start HTTP node (watches shared/ directory) download.py — bob login → GEK fetch → decrypt → save All tested locally end-to-end. No invented URLs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context)

docs: add QUICKSTART.md and USERGUIDE.md

2026-08-09T09:49:11Z

QUICKSTART (434 lines): 6-step guide tested against live https://meshbay.org — demo accounts alice_test/bob_test, real transfer of README.txt (23ms) and 1MB chunk (275ms recv, 2.4ms decrypt), exact Python commands with measured output. USERGUIDE (785 lines): 11-section reference — architecture, account management, group/node config, file sharing, HLS streaming, security model, moderation/CSAM, troubleshooting, full API table.
