refactor(hub): the transport holds an identity, never a private key

2026-09-30T13:48:51Z

Two public keys, sign() and shared(); the apps take transport.signFn. What holds the keys (this page, or the desktop main process) is the identity's business alone. 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(hub): default email opt-outs and match Register to Login styling

2026-09-26T08:26:51Z

- Invitation-by-email and recovery-key-by-email boxes now start unchecked; mailing a code/key is opt-in. The invite choice still remembers itself per account once set. - Align the two invite-email checkboxes with their label (center, not flex-start). - Register (and its verify/recovery/done steps) now sits on the same dark gradient backdrop and frosted card as Login, via a shared AuthShell. - Make the gradient's top-left corner very slightly less bright (#86a3c4 -> #809cbc), on both auth pages.

feat: invitation links no longer bound to an e-mail address

2026-09-25T15:10:15Z

A link is redeemable by whoever opens it first, so it can be sent by any messaging app. The address is optional (mail + label only); a link lives 7 days, fixed. Adds a Share button; see MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §3.4. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(hub): a redeemed invitation link leaves the owner's list

2026-09-23T17:30:47Z

The list under "Invite by link" answered every ticket the group had ever minted, so a link that somebody had already used sat there saying "used by " for the thirty days of KEEP_REDEEMED — beside the member row it had just produced, and above the links that still wait for somebody, which are the only ones there is anything to do about. The node's own `member list` had never shown them: it selects `used_at IS NULL`. The listing now selects `redeemed_by IS NULL`, and drops the `redeemed` status and the `redeemed_by` field with it. The row itself still lives for KEEP_REDEEMED, which is what lets a reload or a second tab of the invitation page be answered rather than refused; its comment says that now instead of naming a list it is no longer in. The SPA filters too, because the desktop client's copy of this interface can be newer than the hub it is signed into. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 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.

feat(hub): make mailing an invitation a remembered choice

2026-09-23T15:01:07Z

A "Send the invitation by e-mail" box under the Invite member field, checked by default and stored as the invite_email preference. Unchecked, invite-notify is never called and the hub never sees the code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix: ask in the page instead of native confirm/alert

2026-09-21T17:53:33Z

A native confirm() or alert() leaves the desktop client unable to type until the window is refocused. ask.js draws both in the page; the SPA test now bans all three browser dialogs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

fix(hub): removing from a group no longer unpins the account

2026-09-20T23:35:13Z

The node half called `unpin` after `revoke`, and an unpin takes no group: it deletes the identity and every member row the account holds on this node, and drops the stored keypair bundle with them. Taking somebody out of one group took them out of all of them, silently. `revoke` is group-scoped and is what withdraws the key. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5
