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".

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

<id>urn:sha1:392b5e4a53aace725794c7bbabf9e95fb4e1b9c5</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>feat: passphrase change and account recovery (auth-confirm)</title>
<updated>2026-08-31T23:03:43Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.meshbay.org/meshbay.git/commit/?id=fe30860c58e0f1b1efd457ff5eb5146d1e592da0'/>
<id>urn:sha1:fe30860c58e0f1b1efd457ff5eb5146d1e592da0</id>
<content type='text'>
The passphrase derives two independent client-side values: auth_key (the
hub verifier) and bundle_key (AES-GCM key for the per-node identity
bundles, which live on nodes and never on the hub). Changing or
recovering a passphrase is therefore two operations — swap the hub
verifier, and re-wrap every reachable node's identity bundle.

Flow A — change a known passphrase (Profile page)
- POST /v1/users/password re-proves the current passphrase, swaps
  pw_hash/salt/version, revokes every refresh token and returns a fresh
  pair so the tab that made the change stays signed in.
- MeshBayTransport.rewrapAllNodes: for every group's online node, connect
  with the old key, read the identity off the handshake, store it back
  under the new key. Returns updated / unreachable / failed so the UI can
  point at the operator-unpin fallback for the gaps. Always-shown
  confirmation dialog listing reachable and unreachable groups.

Recovery key
- keyderive.js generateRecoveryKey (32 random bytes, grouped Base32) and
  deriveRecoveryKey (HKDF-SHA256, domain meshbay:recovery:v1:&lt;username&gt;).
- Every per-node identity gets a second copy wrapped under the recovery
  key: keypair_bundles.bundle_enc_recovery (node-only column, added in
  _SCHEMA_KEYPAIR and via a PRAGMA-guarded ALTER for existing DBs),
  carried on keypair_bundle_store / _resp. MNP 0.13 -&gt; 0.14, additive.
- session.recoveryKey is persisted in IndexedDB (slot rk) and lazy-loaded
  on connect, so a group joined in any later session still leaves a
  recovery copy.
- Shown once at registration; optionally folded into the verification
  e-mail as a pass-through the hub never stores or logs, with an opt-out.
- Profile -&gt; Recovery key re-loads R and backfills every reachable node
  via rewrapAllNodes in bundleKey mode (no passphrase re-entry).

Flow B — recover a lost passphrase (#/reset, linked from sign-in)
- POST /v1/users/password/reset-request {username, email}: both must be
  the pair on file, checked against the blind email_hash (never
  decrypted). A mismatch — wrong e-mail, unknown username, non-active
  account — takes the identical no-op path (no code, no mail, same 200),
  so it reveals nothing and cannot be used to spray reset mail from a
  username alone. 5/min, 1-hour single-use code.
- POST /v1/users/password/reset {username, code, new_auth_key}: same
  expiry / attempts / single-use checks as e-mail verification; revokes
  every session and deletes every registered device key so a stored one
  cannot sign back in past the reset.
- ResetPasswordPage: request code -&gt; code + optional recovery key + new
  passphrase -&gt; reset + sign-in -&gt; fan-out. connect() falls back to the
  recovery-wrapped copy when the passphrase key cannot open bundle_enc.
  Without a recovery key: sign-in is restored and each group needs the
  operator-unpin fallback.

Supporting fixes (found in live testing)
- member unpin now also deletes the keypair bundle; connect() mints a
  fresh identity when handed a bundle it cannot open (unless _rewrapOnly,
  set by rewrapAllNodes), so a rejoin completes instead of dead-ending
  before the invite-code prompt.
- A browser with no bundle key gets a passphrase prompt on the group page
  instead of a "go back to the browser you registered on" message.
- RegisterPage / LoginPage / ResetPasswordPage trim the username so every
  key derivation matches the hub's stored form.

Docs: docs/auth-confirm.md. Locale keys across all ten catalogues.
Tests: test_password_change, test_password_reset, test_recovery_email,
test_recovery_key, test_rewrap_fanout, test_bundle_store_recovery, plus
additions to test_admin_ops_mnp and test_webrtc_transport. Hub suite 492
passed; node suite 741 passed (the lone test_packaging_units failure is a
pre-existing RPM-spec flake, reproducible on main).

<title>feat: email verification for registration, email change, and invitations</title>

Registration now creates a pending account and sends a 6-digit code via
email; the account activates only after verification. Email changes on
the profile page follow the same flow. Group invitations send a
notification email to the invitee (without revealing their address to
the inviter) containing the invite code and hub link.

Backend: blind HMAC-SHA256 email index for uniqueness without decryption,
mail.py for localhost Postfix delivery, verification endpoints, cleanup
of expired codes and stale pending accounts, startup backfill of
email_hash for existing users.

Frontend: 3-phase register page, inline email change verification on
profile, invite-notify call with status display. All 10 locales updated.

Admin page is lazy-loaded so non-admin users never fetch it.
