test(cli): e2e waits for the node's hub socket; bash completion where bash is

2026-10-16T10:28:25Z

The control API answers before the hub socket is up, later still now that the connection processes start first, so attaching the group failed with "Hub not connected". The bash half of the completion test runs only where bash is on PATH, as the PowerShell half already did. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(cli): apply index updates in place instead of fetching the whole index

2026-10-16T08:41:17Z

The interactive mode fetched and re-parsed the full index on every index_delta, on the loop receiving the download: 67 times in 80 s while a node enriched a library. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

perf: linear SCTP reassembly, one SACK every second packet, 4 MB buffer in the CLI

2026-10-16T08:41:17Z

aiortc walked a message's fragments after each one arrived (n^2/2 steps for a 1 MiB chunk) and acknowledged every packet. Measured on loopback, 400 MB to the CLI: 19 MB/s before, 39 after (49 by the node's count); uploads from the CLI 25 -> 29 MB/s. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

test(cli): a Chrome that does not come up is not left running

2026-10-15T15:57:27Z

Its constructor gave up with the browser still running and no object to close it: eight headless Chrome processes were found hours after a failed Windows run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(cli): make the command-line client work on Windows

2026-10-15T15:45:41Z

Its suite had only run on Linux. On Windows, against a real hub and node and from the installed meshbay-cli.exe: - secrets.enc was written in text mode (os.open without O_BINARY): every 0x0A of the ciphertext became CR LF and the saved session "does not open with its key" on the next run. - isatty() is true for NUL, so a script run with `< NUL` or by the Task Scheduler was asked questions instead of told to pass --yes; output.terminal() checks for a real console. - Ctrl+C waited for the selector loop's next timer, up to half a minute in `chat --follow`; the loop now points the signal wakeup at its self-pipe, as the proactor does. - Right-click copy and paste raised: asyncio cannot start a process on the selector loop; the clipboard tool runs in a thread. - Tab completion of remote paths ran on the default (proactor) loop, which never opens a node, and wrote in the locale encoding; the PowerShell script now reads it as UTF-8. - `get -R` into a folder past MAX_PATH died with a traceback; get, put, the resume file and the interactive mode use the extended form at each disk call, as the node does. - `groups` showed a SQLite hub's naive UTC time as local time. The opt-in end-to-end suite now runs on Windows (16 tests: Chrome found under Program Files and started with the real environment, VLC as the player, Ctrl+C through a console of its own, PowerShell 5.1 completion of an accented name).

refactor(chat): no thread_id — chat has no threads

2026-10-15T10:57:51Z

Nothing ever set it (the page and the CLI sent null) and nothing read it (the node's get_thread had no caller). It is no longer sent by the page or the CLI, in clear or in the sealed payload, nor relayed or served by the node; get_thread and its index are gone, and the protocol and design docs no longer name it. The node still accepts a chat_msg carrying one, from the desktop apps and CLIs already installed, and drops it. The column stays, empty, in chat.db: a node downgraded to an older version names it in every query. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(cli): account, rm -r and mkdir, Tab completion

2026-10-15T10:32:24Z

account shows the account and does what the sign-up form and the Profile page do: register (the passphrase floor and the hub's proof of work checked here, the recovery key printed once), verify, change the passphrase, reset a forgotten one, change the e-mail address, sign out everywhere, delete. A new passphrase carries the copy of the account's keys each node keeps for browsers first — opened under the old M, the same keys sealed under the new one — and only then tells the hub; a refusal sets the copies back. A reset restores them from the recovery copy. The connections that do it never make keys nor ask for a device approval. This machine keeps the M it changed away from, so a node out of reach is carried at its next connection; a copy under an M it does not know is no longer rewritten, which locked the browsers out after a passphrase changed elsewhere. rm -r removes a folder and all it holds, from the node's operator key: the files, then the folders deepest first, one confirmation that counts them. mkdir makes folders, --parents the missing ones (not -p, the passphrase). completion bash|powershell prints the script that makes Tab complete actions, verbs, options and the paths of the groups this machine is signed in to, cached two minutes; the deb and rpm packages install the bash one.

feat(cli): stream — a film or a song played in a media player

2026-10-15T08:17:29Z

`meshbay-cli stream PATH` serves one video or sound file over HTTP on 127.0.0.1 for VLC, mpv or any player that reads HTTP; `--player PROGRAM` starts the player, and closing it stops the stream, as Ctrl+C does. The file goes as the node stores it: no remux, no transcode, no stream slot on the node. Byte ranges are answered from leaseless file_req chunks decrypted in memory, eight ahead and the last 24 kept. Loopback only, a random token in the address, a foreign Host refused (DNS rebinding), an audio or video type with nosniff. The connection is pinged and reopened when it dies; a refusal by the node stops the stream (exit 5). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(cli): /put and /get in the interactive chat

2026-10-15T07:57:18Z

/put FILE sends one local file, relative to the current directory or absolute, into the chat's folder, then posts the application's attachment message naming it ({"text": "", "attachment": {filename, size, type}}), so the page shows it as its paperclip's. /get NAME saves a file of that folder, named from it, into the current directory, never over a file already there. The chat's folder is the page's rule: the operator's choice while its root is writable and present, else the first such root; a chat_directory_ack moves it. A line above the one written in shows the transfer's progress. Attachment messages, from the page or from /put, read as [file: name, size] in the room and in `chat`, and as an `attachment` field with --json. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(cli): help, and right-click copy and paste in the interactive chat

2026-10-15T07:33:28Z

help prints what --help prints; help ACTION, what ACTION --help prints. In the interactive chat a right-click on the conversation copies the text selected with the mouse, else the line under the pointer: to the terminal (OSC 52) and to the platform's clipboard tool. A right-click on the line written in pastes the system clipboard's text at the cursor, its lines side by side, read with wl-paste, xclip or xsel, pbpaste or PowerShell, else what was copied here last. The conversation is selectable with the mouse, which RichLog alone is not. The deb and rpm packages recommend wl-clipboard or xclip for the paste. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
