Same 768px breakpoint the hamburger appears at, where the nav is tightest and
the button has least to offer.

Belt and braces rather than the only guard: `capabilities.tray` is false
without the Electron bridge, so no browser has ever rendered this. What this
covers is the app's own window dragged narrow.

<title>feat(client): tray menu starts and stops the node, and a clearer icon</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.meshbay.org/meshbay.git/commit/?id=b3362e6b25bc77dfe94f4c088a865e6fd2be2601'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b3362e6b25bc77dfe94f4c088a865e6fd2be2601</id>
<content type='text'>
The first icon was an arrow dropping into a receptacle, which is the download
glyph -- a vertical stem above a container reads that way whatever the context.
Replaced with a window folding a chevron into itself: no stem, and the frame
says which object is being minimised. Applied to both the nav button and the
panel indicator, which carried the same wrong shape.

The menu now offers Start or Stop for the node daemon, chosen from its actual
state and shown only when there is a daemon to act on: `supported &amp;&amp; installed`,
so a machine with no node installed gets no entry rather than a control that
fails when used. `restart` is the start verb -- systemd's restart starts a
stopped unit, and there is no separate one to call.

The three service handlers become named functions so the tray drives exactly
what the Node page drives, instead of a second copy of the systemctl and Task
Scheduler branches. A read of the state that throws is treated as no control
at all.

The menu is rebuilt on a 5s timer while an indicator exists, and again straight
after an action. libappindicator has no "menu is about to open" event, so a menu
built once would show a stale Start/Stop for the life of the process; `systemctl
--user show` costs a few milliseconds.

Locales: tray.start_node / tray.stop_node in all ten.

<title>feat(client): minimise to a system tray indicator (GNOME)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:89ed51e9b7ea38bd4475ce3a234f8c783b3d9b09</id>
<content type='text'>
A dedicated monochrome button in the nav, immediately left of the notification
bell, hides the window to a tray indicator. Linux only for now; Windows is
being done on that OS, and the capability is declared per platform so the
button never appears where the desktop shows no indicator -- there it would
hide the window for good.

Hides, never closes: `window-all-closed` quits the app, so closing here would
make "minimise" mean "exit" and drop the session, the transfers and the node
connection. `second-instance` now calls the same restore path, since focusing
a hidden window does nothing visible.

The context menu is not decoration. Under libappindicator -- how GNOME shows a
tray at all, via the AppIndicator extension -- `tray.on('click')` never fires;
the indicator only opens its menu. A tray whose sole affordance was a click
would be inert on the one desktop this targets. The click handler is kept for
desktops that do send it.

Menu labels come from the renderer with the IPC call: the locale files are the
interface's, the main process has no i18n, and a second string table is how two
of them start disagreeing. English fallbacks if none arrive.

The icon lives in src/, not build/: package.json `files` packages only `src/**`
and `ui/**`, so an icon under build/ is present in a dev run and missing from
every installed one. Monochrome, stroked, matching the nav glyph.

Verified on this host: Ubuntu GNOME with ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com and
libayatana-appindicator3 present, so the indicator has somewhere to appear.
Not yet run end to end.

<title>fix(win): graceful shutdown, one startup-mode control, and a stray-\r bug</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e89a57bb97b5a0d624e8d490b6b8aa38ba140817</id>
<content type='text'>
Windows-only changes, all found by actually running the previous session's
work rather than by review alone:

- CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT/LOGOFF/SHUTDOWN handler (platform.py, ctypes
  SetConsoleCtrlHandler) so closing a console window, signing off, or a
  system shutdown runs the daemon's real _shutdown() instead of Windows
  just ending the process — closing WebRTC sessions and any in-flight
  ffmpeg transcode instead of orphaning it. `taskkill /F` itself stays
  uncatchable (like SIGKILL), so autostart_run() now spawns with
  CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP instead of DETACHED_PROCESS and autostart_end()
  tries CTRL_BREAK_EVENT against the recorded pid first, falling back to
  the hard kill only if that doesn't stop it in time.

- Replaced the Node page's two independent autostart/service-mode toggles
  with one "start automatically" select (off / at sign-in / as a
  background service). The old pair let both be active at once — starting
  the daemon twice, at boot and at sign-in — and their layout broke
  wrapping inside .node-service's flex row. The new control always removes
  whichever mechanism is active before installing the target; platform.py's
  service_install() does the same on the CLI side. The "background
  service" option disables itself (with a hint pointing at the CLI) when
  running unpackaged, since service-mode.ps1/service.ps1/firewall.ps1 all
  assume an installed build's layout — verified live rather than assumed
  by actually running those scripts unelevated.

- findNodeBinary() no longer bakes a stray \r into resolved paths. Found by
  rebooting after enabling per-user autostart: where.exe listed two
  matches, and stdout.trim().split('\n')[0] only strips the whole string's
  ends, leaving line one's own trailing \r attached — which landed inside
  the Startup .vbs's quoted path and broke it with "Unterminated string
  constant" at boot. Fixed by splitting on \r?\n and trimming every line.

- Dependency audit for the Windows installer (docs/WINDOWS-PORT.md): no
  VC++ Redistributable needed, confirmed by inspecting the built
  node-runtime's actual import table rather than assuming. New
  docs/windows-build.md: a concise clone-to-installer build guide.

<title>feat(client): a Node-page toggle to switch into/out of service mode</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.meshbay.org/meshbay.git/commit/?id=7601991ccb1d75637c055062c38b1852eeef9700'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7601991ccb1d75637c055062c38b1852eeef9700</id>
<content type='text'>
The installer's own mode question is effectively one-shot: customInstall
skips it entirely once the firewall rules already exist, for any reason --
and per-user mode sets those up on its own, with no Scheduled Task involved.
So declining once (or the rules existing from something unrelated, as
happened on a dev machine this session) was a dead end: no reinstall, repair,
or uninstall/reinstall cycle could ever bring the question back, since
uninstall defaults to leaving both alone.

Add the other door in (and out): a checkbox on the Node page, next to the
existing per-user autostart toggle, wired main.js -&gt; preload.js -&gt; platform.js
-&gt; node-page.js. It runs packaging/win/service-mode.ps1 -- the exact script
installer.nsh already runs -- via one Start-Process -Verb RunAs elevation, so
the two paths can never disagree about what service mode means. The elevation
helper writes a tiny param()-based .ps1 to %TEMP% so the target script path
and its arguments bind through real PowerShell parameters instead of nested
string-quoting.

Also fixes a real pre-existing gap found while checking this: 8 of the 10
locale catalogues (all but en/fr) were missing the autostart/service-mode
keys added in an earlier commit this session (b782886) -- test_locales.py's
key-set-parity check uses a for-loop with an inline assert, so it stopped at
the first mismatch (fr) and never actually reached the other eight. Backfilled
all five keys (three pre-existing, two new) in de/es/it/ja/nl/pl/pt-BR/zh-CN.

<title>feat: opt-in Windows service mode (boot-time, one elevation) + v1.0.0</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.meshbay.org/meshbay.git/commit/?id=b78288640d8c13cc0fb3f4ee7c82f3efac33940f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b78288640d8c13cc0fb3f4ee7c82f3efac33940f</id>
<content type='text'>
The per-user Startup-folder launcher (W3) only ever runs after this user
signs in. A real Windows Service would start earlier, but under
LocalSystem/NetworkService -- accounts with no normal profile, so
%LOCALAPPDATA%\meshbay\ (config, keystore, data) would not exist for it.
Relocating storage to make that work is real surgery, deliberately not
done here.

Instead: a Scheduled Task, created once with admin rights, that runs AS
THIS USER at boot without needing them to sign in first.
`schtasks /create ... /ru &lt;user&gt; /rp ""` with no `/it` registers an S4U
(Service For User) logon -- no password stored anywhere, and unlike
LocalSystem it loads this account's own profile, so config_dir()/
data_dir() need zero changes. The cost: S4U carries no network credential,
which the node never needed -- everything it touches is local disk plus
outbound internet. Creating the task needs admin (a boot trigger touches
system-wide scheduler state, the same reason /sc onlogon needed it);
querying/starting/stopping an existing one does not -- Task Scheduler
grants the owning user that much itself, which is what lets the Node
page's Start/Stop/Restart drive it with no further UAC prompts.

meshbay_node/platform.py
  service_install/_remove/_status/_run/_end -- mirrors autostart_* but
  for the Scheduled Task; TASK_NAME moved here (was decorative before)

meshbay_node/daemon.py
  new `service install|remove|start|stop|status` verb; restart-daemon and
  reset now check for the service task too

packaging/win/service.ps1
  the installer-side equivalent (extraResource); status/run/end never
  self-elevate -- only install/remove do, exactly matching what
  Task Scheduler itself requires

packaging/win/service-mode.ps1
  ONE elevated helper running service.ps1 + firewall.ps1 together, so
  choosing service mode costs exactly one UAC prompt, not two

build/installer.nsh
  the install-time choice: "run as a background service?" (one
  elevation, both jobs) vs the existing per-user + separate firewall
  question. Checked first, unelevated, so re-running setup with
  everything already configured asks nothing. Uninstall offers the
  matching one-elevation cleanup, default No.

src/main.js
  winServiceTaskStatus/Run/End, wired into node:installed,
  node:service-status/-stop/-restart and node:start: when the Scheduled
  Task exists, drive it; otherwise fall back to the existing per-user
  spawn/kill path. This is the hard requirement -- Start/Stop/Restart
  from the Node page must work in either mode.

node-page.js / locales
  a hint explaining why the per-user autostart toggle is absent when
  service mode is active (info.mode from the backend, no new field to
  gate on -- it just isn't sent in that case)

package.json: 0.1.0 -&gt; 1.0.0.

Verified: electron-builder compiles the new NSIS choice logic and ships
all three scripts; service.ps1's S4U install fails cleanly (Access
denied) when run unelevated, and its status/run/end never touch "runas".
Cannot verify the elevated success path myself (no admin in this
session) -- that needs a real UAC click. Node suite 843 pass / 25 skip;
test_packaging_win.py pins the one-elevation property, the S4U flags,
and that main.js actually checks the service task in all three handlers.

<title>fix(client): Stop/Restart buttons and an autostart toggle on the Node page</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.meshbay.org/meshbay.git/commit/?id=13d145253a871ef47ef4344f90566eea21b994ab'/>
<id>urn:sha1:13d145253a871ef47ef4344f90566eea21b994ab</id>
<content type='text'>
Root cause of both reports: node:service-status's `installed` field was
winAutostartInstalled() -- whether the Startup-folder launcher exists --
not whether the daemon can be managed at all. The Node page gates
Stop/Restart on `installed`, so with no autostart configured (the default
-- nothing installs it automatically) those buttons silently never
rendered, leaving only Start. A perfectly manageable daemon looked
unmanageable because a different, unrelated setting was off.

installed now reflects the actual daemon binary (findNodeBinary()), same
definition node:installed already used; autostart moves to its own field
carrying what installed used to mean.

That field also fixes the other half: there was no way to turn autostart
on except the CLI. NodeServicePanel now shows a toggle-switch next to
Start/Stop/Restart, wired through a new platform.node.autostart
(install/remove) that mirrors the existing service.* pattern -- the
preload/main.js bridge (W3) was already there, just never called from the
interface. English and French strings; other locales fall back to English
per the project's own stated policy (test_locales.py's own docstring).

Verified: node --check on every edited file; hub/node suites green
(863 pass, 0 fail — pre-existing test_locales.py encoding failures on
this Windows checkout are unrelated, reproduced identically on the
clean tree).

stun.services.mozilla.com no longer resolves — Mozilla shut the service
down — so every ICE gather waited out a DNS timeout on it. Removed from the
node defaults (config.py), the browser defaults (transport.js) and the Node
page's "reset to defaults" (node-page.js). Google (two endpoints) plus
Cloudflare still give two-provider coverage against a single outage, which
is the §2.12 resilience claim. draft-v6 §2.12 updated.

<content type='text'>
A client whose clock is a little fast could not connect at all: the MNP
handshake verified the hub-issued token with no leeway, so a token whose
`iat` was a few seconds ahead of the node's clock failed with "the token
is not yet valid (iat)". Seen against a freshly-resumed VM guest.

`meshbay_common.handshake.JWT_LEEWAY_SECONDS = 60` is the shared value;
applied to the handshake, the node's own hub-token decode, revocation-token
verification, and the hub's access-token decode. 60s absorbs NTP-level skew
without meaningfully widening the window on a stolen token (they already
carry a jti and an exp).
