feat: configurable STUN server fallbacks for WebRTC ICE

2026-08-30T20:17:30Z

The WebRTC transport relied on a single Google STUN server — if it was unreachable, ICE gathering waited the full 4s timeout. Now four public servers are used by default (Google ×2, Cloudflare, Mozilla), configurable via node.toml, the Node page UI, and the CLI (meshbay-node stun list|add| remove|reset). Changes are hot-swapped on the live transport. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6

fix(node): fall back to a loose MusicBrainz query when the strict one finds nothing

2026-08-25T12:50:36Z

search_release() only ever tried a field-scoped exact-phrase Lucene query (artist:"..." AND release:"..."). Verified live against musicbrainz.org: any deviation from MusicBrainz's own spelling (a year suffix, an edition tag, an artist credited under an older/aliased name) drops it to zero results outright rather than a low-scored one, so the confidence check never even ran — this is why well-recognized artists were still getting almost no cover art. Add an unscoped loose-query fallback, escape Lucene special characters in the interpolated tag text, and make the confidence score consider the artist match too (not just the album title) now that the fallback has no field scoping to rely on. Also document MESHBAY_MUSICBRAINZ_CONTACT_DEFAULT in the systemd units and man page, mirroring MESHBAY_TMDB_DEFAULT_TOKEN's precedent — never a literal value in source, configured via node.env.

docs: drop stale MESHBAY_PASSWORD from meshbay-node(1)

2026-08-24T14:25:34Z

Found during review: the node authenticates to the hub with its own Ed25519 identity key, not a password (per meshbay-node-user.service's own comment) — MESHBAY_PASSWORD isn't read anywhere in the node's source. The man page and the system-wide meshbay-node.service unit both still claimed it was a real hub-login secret; fixing the man page here since that's this branch's concern, the stale service-file comment is a separate, pre-existing issue.
