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

feat(client): the desktop application keeps M and every node identity in its main process

2026-09-30T14:58:31Z

keyring.js derives, opens, mints, seals, signs and agrees there; the page gets public keys and a handle. Argon2 comes from the page's own WebAssembly build (Electron's crypto has none). Without OS key storage the page keeps its keys as a browser does. A node's bundle is settled after connecting, re-sealed when the key changed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat: bundles sealed per node under the passphrase and the hub's pepper

2026-09-30T13:06:14Z

The session key is M = HKDF(Argon2(passphrase) || pepper, account id); each node's bundle key and the playlist key derive from it. Bundles are MBK3, bound to account and node; MBK1/MBK2 are refused by name, never replaced silently. Playlists move to key v2 and are re-sealed over unreadable node copies.

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

feat(hub): reports from public-group members, decided by an administrator

2026-09-28T20:06:07Z

A report needs a person's account at least a day old, membership of the public group, and fits a daily allowance per account. Past the threshold a hash is queued and administrators are notified; blocking without review is an instance setting, off by default. Report menu item in public groups, Reports tab and settings in the admin panel. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(hub): new login tagline, dimmer gradient top

fix(hub): say so when a lazily loaded view cannot be fetched

2026-09-28T10:29:20Z

A tab opened before a hub deploy got 404 for every module it had not loaded yet, and lazy.js kept its spinner for good. It now shows a notice with a Reload button and logs the failure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix: Windows installer and desktop app start and stop the node one way

2026-09-27T20:20:53Z

A 0.16 upgrade in service mode left the previous node running: setup's unelevated taskkill cannot reach session 0, and it ran in customInstall, which electron-builder inserts after the files are copied. The locked exe was not replaced, and the new app talked to the old node ("started but could not link", "No operator paired"). Installer (build/installer.nsh, build/stop-node.ps1): - customCheckAppRunning, which runs before uninstallOldVersion and extraction, stops the node with an embedded stop-node.ps1: control API, then schtasks /end, then Stop-Process, and refuses to half-upgrade if one survives. - An upgrade keeps the mode it finds (task, launcher, previous install), restores the sign-in launcher the old uninstaller deletes, and restarts the node the way that mode runs it. A silent upgrade of an "at sign-in" install used to end with no autostart and no node. - The uninstaller removes the task and firewall rules only on a real uninstall, not on an update. Desktop app (src/main.js): - Start, Stop, Restart and node:start go through the CLI's lifecycle verbs instead of a second implementation; a child spawned by Electron also held Electron's sockets after the app quit. - "Only while MeshBay is open" is a real mode: the app starts a provisioned node at launch and stops the one it started when it quits. - Switching modes stops the node first -- deleting a task does not end its instance, and a new service found the port taken -- keeps the firewall rules every mode needs, and starts the node again. A declined or unanswered UAC prompt restores the node instead of leaving it stopped, and says that nothing changed. - waiting_for_hub counts as a node that is up; linking waits for a node that answers, with a longer deadline, and reports a version mismatch. Packaging (packaging/win): - The service task gets no 72-hour limit, runs on battery and ignores a second start; service.ps1 status reports a stale registration so setup re-registers it; remove ends the running instance before deleting the task. - build-node-runtime.ps1 starts the frozen daemon in a throwaway profile (smoke-node-runtime.ps1) instead of only asking for --help. The mode that was "Off (start manually)" is labelled "Only while MeshBay is open" in all ten catalogues. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
