fix(hub): the pepper and a device key take the passphrase, not a token

2026-09-30T19:04:39Z

POST /me/bundle-pepper (was GET) and POST /users/devices require auth_key. A refreshed or lifted token could otherwise fetch the pepper, or register a device whose every sign-in carries it. Both callers have just been given the passphrase. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat: browser access, decided in the desktop application

2026-09-30T15:13:40Z

Off for an account made there: its identities stay on the device and nothing is left on nodes. Turned on from the Profile page behind a native confirmation; each node is settled when its group next opens. The hub keeps a mirror a browser reads to say why a group will not open; it grants nothing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(client): the page names node operations, and the app confirms what widens the node

2026-09-30T10:57:58Z

node:call is replaced by named operations with checked arguments; hosting a group, sharing an unpicked folder, key rotation, denylist clearing and a change of node account are confirmed by a native dialog. Every channel checks its sender, secrets:get/set/clear are gone, node:start writes the app's own hub. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix: only the owner decides who hosts a group, and nobody is made a member unasked

2026-09-30T09:49:56Z

- hub: a node may host a group only if its account owns it or the owner approved that node (new `group_hosts`). Membership was the ceiling, and every member holds the group key, so any member's node could register as a host and be the one clients kept. A node claiming a group it may not host is recorded as a request; the owner is notified once and approves or refuses it (GET/POST/DELETE /v1/groups/{id}/hosts[/{node_id}]), which takes effect on a connected node at once. - hub: an owner adding a username creates an invitation (new `group_invitations`), accepted or declined by the invitee (/v1/groups/invitations, /{id}/invitation/accept|decline). Until then the group is not listed, not dialled, not searched and not in any token. Invitation links, open joins and group creation still make members directly: they are the account's own act. - hub: the MNP token names only the group it is minted for (group_id is now required), so a node operator no longer learns a member's other groups. - SPA: invitations on the home page; invited people and host requests in the group's settings; the transport sends group_id. Ten catalogues. - Browser probes for both screens, run in Chrome and Firefox. - Design §5.2, §7.2, §7.3, AV32, AV33; protocol §6.3; user guide. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(client): save files under a name every platform can write

2026-09-28T20:25:07Z

A node serves the name its disk gave a file; the client now makes it portable at save time (single file, zip entries, zip name) and says so on the transfer row. Same rule as paths.sanitize_for_download, held by a parity test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

refactor: remove dead code across packages

2026-09-28T16:22:07Z

Unused modules, functions, constants and client helpers with no caller, the unreachable hub:probe IPC handler, and the CSAM hash matching. Behaviour unchanged; the dispatch golden loses only the two removed message types. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(hub): the sidebar's Node section follows the node link

2026-09-27T20:21:07Z

Reported on a real install: after the first click on Create group, the Node section (Node, Create group) disappeared from the sidebar until a reload, although the group was created and the node ran. hasNodeKey was read once per session change and never again, so a node the wizard linked stayed out of the sidebar; and that read swallowed its errors, so a session blip (a refused renewal, then the desktop app's silent device sign-in) followed by one failed request hid the section for good. The wizard now tells the app when it has linked or started a node, the app asks again then and after a group is created, and a failed read is retried -- never applied to a session that has changed meanwhile. The wizard also starts the node on its own for a node in waiting_for_hub. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(client): fetch the media apps, the player, settings and search on first use

2026-09-25T08:47:37Z

apps.js registers Videos, Music, Photos and every settings pane through lazy.js; the group page does the same for the video player and the settings panel, and the shell for the search page. The first download goes from 49 modules / 386 KB gzip to 37 / 289 KB; opening Music now fetches music-app.js and media-tiles.js and nothing of Videos. test_first_load_is_lean holds the eager graph; test_spa_imports checks that every on-demand load names an export that exists.

refactor(client): move the connection pool and the media tiles to modules

2026-09-25T08:25:44Z

ConnectionPool (with connectToGroup and its limits) leaves search-page.js for connection-pool.js, and LazyTile/MediaThumb leave video-app.js for media-tiles.js, cut as text. The shell and the Music and Photos apps now reach them without importing the search page or the Videos app. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(hub): open, create and join invitation links in the interface

2026-09-23T16:05:14Z

#/invite takes the link out of the address on load and keeps it in the tab through registration and sign-in; joining is one click, only the ticket goes to the hub, and the code goes only to the node the link names once it has signed its challenge. Members tab gains "Invite by link" (shared e-mail box, pending list, cancel both halves); home page takes a pasted link. Browser probe drives the real app, signed out and in.
