fix(client): link a device from the application; approve one match only

2026-10-14T21:02:49Z

"Get a linking code" called the connection the page had just closed on the node's unknown_device refusal, so it never filed anything. It now retries with the request filed on that connection, before the proof (MNP 6.3), and the page tries the group again after each refusal until a linked device approves the code. Offered only in the desktop application: a browser's minted identity is gone by its next connection. Approving refuses a code that matches more than one pending request: filing needs only the account's token, so somebody holding the passphrase who saw a code could file their own keys under it.

feat: let the operator pause and resume a root's indexing (MNP 6.2)

2026-10-11T22:17:32Z

A whole-root walk now checks its root before every file: removed or ejected, it stops instead of reading the drive to the end; paused, it finishes from the hash cache alone. A paused root is not watched, not swept by reconcile and survives a restart (roster), its indexed files stay served. Resume runs the reconcile sweep over the root, so entries and their enrichment are kept. Signed root_pause / root_resume over MNP, loopback routes, CLI `root pause|resume`, a pause button on the indexing dock and pause/resume in the roots table of Group settings.

feat: spread a large download over eight connections

2026-10-11T14:52:48Z

One WebRTC connection carries 5 to 6 MB/s whatever the line can do. A leased download of 64 MB or more now opens seven more to its node, and a lease serves the other connections of its device in its group. Measured through the whole stack: 5 MB/s before, 24 after. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat: let the operator purge a group's chat (MNP 6.1)

2026-10-09T10:17:38Z

Signed chat_purge from the Chat settings deletes every stored message; epoch keys and attachments stay. The ack is broadcast so open chat panels empty. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(hub): re-read the roster before saying a key changed

2026-10-07T23:12:01Z

A member invited after the roster was read showed "key changed" on each message until a reload. Read it again once per account and device on the connection, shared by concurrent messages, and pin only the final verdict. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(hub): let a download wait out a reconnect instead of failing

2026-10-07T09:50:48Z

Chunks sent while the reconnect's connect() runs throw at once, and six retries 1.5 s apart ran out before the reconnect landed. Wait for it, up to two minutes, without spending retries. Follow-ups parked in §15.3. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

chore: license MeshBay — LGPL protocol layer, AGPL for the rest

2026-10-05T07:20:38Z

The protocol layer is LGPL-3.0-or-later in every language it exists in, so any client may use it whatever its own licence: meshbay-common, and the files marked with an SPDX line — keyderive.js, crypto.js, playlist-crypto.js, transport*.js; keyring.js, transcripts.js and argon2-wasm.js on the desktop; Kdf.kt, Keyring.kt and Transcripts.kt on Android. Everything else is AGPL-3.0-or-later, which the RPM specs and package.json already declared without a licence file to back them. Two AGPL section 7 permissions: - group applications may be under any licence when they use the interface only through a named surface (static/licenses/APPLICATION-EXCEPTION.txt); the reference application is 0BSD so that copying it brings no AGPL code; - the Android application may be conveyed linked with Google Play services. Third-party code is accounted for: THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt is generated from what a build ships (packaging/third_party_notices.py) for the deb/rpm venv and the frozen Windows node — PyAV's wheel grafts in libx264 and libx265, which its BSD licence does not mention — and the vendored browser libraries get their licence texts and htm-preact.js its provenance. Wheels carry SPDX metadata, RPMs %license, debs a DEP-5 copyright file, every Windows target LICENSE.txt. test_licensing.py holds the line: the LGPL layer imports nothing under the AGPL, the reference application nothing outside the application interface, and every SPDX line is one of the known ones.

refactor(mnp): remove ten operator messages no client sent

2026-10-02T08:51:19Z

node_status, node_settings_set, roster_read, denylist_read, denylist_clear, node_reload and the signed gek_rotate, member_unpin, transfer_limits, group_detach leave MNP 6.0; the Node page and the CLI do this work over loopback. Their ops keep their tests, moved to the ops level. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(mnp): sharing a folder is decided on the node's machine only (MNP 6.0)

2026-10-02T08:20:09Z

root_add, root_update and group_attach leave MNP: adding a directory and switching writable/removable go through the loopback API (native dialog in the desktop app) or the CLI. The operator's Settings tab still lists the roots from any browser, read-only. The desktop app refuses to sign those ops; a loopback flag change now reaches open pages (publish_roots).

fix: an MBK2 bundle is opened once and stored again as MBK3

2026-10-01T11:06:32Z

Transitional. The Argon2 run that makes M makes A, the key MBK2 bundles were sealed under; a session keeps it as a decrypt-only key (IndexedDB in a browser, the key storage in the desktop app). A client meeting an MBK2 bundle opens it — or its recovery copy — and stores the same identity as MBK3 once connected; the desktop app reseals or withdraws it as browser access says. A session without A asks for the passphrase once. Older formats stay refused by name. Replaces the unpin-and-reinvite step the 0.17 flag day required on every node. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
