feat(hub): session lifetime is an admin setting, and a browser signs out when idle

2026-09-15T00:21:01Z

Browser idle sign-out (media playback counts as activity; not the desktop app), refresh idle window and maximum session length, in hours. Sign-out now revokes on the hub, and the profile has "sign out everywhere". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuNrwLf5EFWCMHzfoEvnpm

fix(hub): a per-account sign-in lockout, and a reviewed unauthenticated surface

2026-09-13T23:53:04Z

Passphrase sign-in locks per username: after `login.max_failures` wrong passphrases (default 4) the name is refused with `429 account_locked` and a `Retry-After` for `login.lockout_minutes` (default 60), without the passphrase being checked. Both numbers are instance policy an admin sets from the panel; zero failures turns it off. The per-IP limit bounds one address, and IPv6 gives every subscriber a /64 of them — an online guess targets an account, so the account is what is counted. - Counted by the name as typed, existing or not, so `login` stays uniform (M1). The key is a hash: people type passphrases into the username field. - The attempt is taken before the check in one `INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE … WHERE … RETURNING`, so a concurrent burst gets no more than the limit. - Sign-in, passphrase change and account deletion count on the same row; the last had no rate limit at all. - A lockout refuses passphrase sign-in and nothing else: sessions, renewal and device sign-in continue, and a reset code clears it (AV26). A session learns its own lockout from `/v1/users/me`, and the passphrase change checks it before re-wrapping any node's bundle — the hub accepts the new passphrase only after the nodes have it. The SPA now shows what the hub said. `loginAndRecover` threw "Login failed: {json}", so `email_verification_required` never matched and was never shown; the passphrase-change form rendered no error at all in its first phase. The unauthenticated surface, reviewed route by route: - No `/docs`, `/redoc` or `/openapi.json`, in the code. The Caddyfile hid them on meshbay.org only; a packaged hub behind any other proxy published all three. - The node socket's first message must arrive within ten seconds. It is accepted before anyone is known, and an unbounded read is a connection any stranger holds for free. - `/v1/relays` answers 503 behind `relay.RELAYS_ENABLED`, as federation does: nothing in the tree calls it and two of its routes take no account. - `test_unauthenticated_surface.py` walks every route and fails on one without an authentication dependency that is not listed with its reason. Verified in Chrome against a local hub: the lockout and wrong-passphrase messages, the admin section saving both lockout and mail limits, and the passphrase change refused while locked. Not verified in Firefox (a running instance blocks the headless one), nor the upsert's concurrency on PostgreSQL.

feat(hub): the mail bounds are settings, with a panel to change them

2026-09-12T14:36:54Z

They were constants in two modules, so an operator could not touch them without editing code and redeploying — and the hour a budget runs out is not when anyone wants to do that. `[mail]` in hub.toml carries the defaults; the live values live in `hub_settings`, read at each use. A missing row falls back to what the configuration file says, so an instance that never opens the panel behaves as its file describes. The panel sends only what changed, the hub clamps each value to a stated range and refuses a key it does not know, and the response is what gets rendered — so a clamped value is never shown as stored. `GET /v1/admin/mail` is the other half. There was no way to see any of this: a refusal was a line in the journal, so an instance that had stopped sending sign-up codes looked, from the panel, exactly like one with no sign-ups. It reports the hour's use, what is left for sign-ups, and what is left for recovery — the difference between those two being the reserved share made visible. Labels in all ten catalogues.

feat(hub): let a hub admin disable public groups instance-wide

2026-08-28T00:51:00Z

A new General tab in Administration carries one switch, allow_public_groups, stored in a hub_settings key/value table (runtime-editable, unlike hub.toml). Default is on; an absent row means on, so an upgrade changes nothing. Enforcement is server-side on every hub-mediated path, not just the SPA: - create_group refuses visibility=public (403), staff included - list_public_groups the directory returns nothing (local + federated) - join_group open-joining a public group is refused - group_online_nodes a non-member of a public group is handed no node - signaling.webrtc_offer drops the "node hosts an open group" fallback - federation.export_directory advertises nothing to peer hubs The switch is read live, so flipping it back restores every path. Existing members of a group that predates the switch keep their membership row and their access — this is plan A, not a purge. GET /v1/hub/info exposes the flag (unauthenticated) so the create-group form and the sidebar's "Public groups" link render correctly. Also in the admin Groups tab: a Revoke action beside Suspend. Suspend is the reversible hub flag; Revoke calls POST /v1/admin/revoke, which sets status=revoked and broadcasts a signed revocation every node enforces (denylist + dropped live sessions). It is confirm-guarded and names the group. And a message fix the revoke work surfaced: group_online_nodes, join_group and webrtc_offer answered "Group is suspended" for any non-active status. They now report the real state, so a member of a revoked group is told "Group is revoked" rather than something reversible-sounding. Tests: test_public_groups_toggle.py (10) covers the switch end to end and the five enforcement paths; test_revocation.py gains the status-message assertion.
