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

feat(hub): keep a show's detail modal open under the player

2026-09-28T09:09:12Z

Closing the player lands back on the season being watched, with the episode just started marked. A film's modal still closes on Play. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(hub): the sidebar's Node section follows the node link

2026-09-27T20:21:07Z

Reported on a real install: after the first click on Create group, the Node section (Node, Create group) disappeared from the sidebar until a reload, although the group was created and the node ran. hasNodeKey was read once per session change and never again, so a node the wizard linked stayed out of the sidebar; and that read swallowed its errors, so a session blip (a refused renewal, then the desktop app's silent device sign-in) followed by one failed request hid the section for good. The wizard now tells the app when it has linked or started a node, the app asks again then and after a group is created, and a failed read is retried -- never applied to a session that has changed meanwhile. The wizard also starts the node on its own for a node in waiting_for_hub. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(hub): say "No operator paired" only when the node says so

2026-09-27T20:21:07Z

The Node page showed the banner whenever operator_paired was not true, so a node that had not yet read its roster -- one still signing in to the hub -- was reported unpaired while its pairing was intact. The node now answers null until it knows; the page shows the banner for false only. 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

fix(hub): rate-limit per client, not per proxy

2026-09-27T20:20:14Z

Behind Caddy every request's TCP peer is loopback, and the limiter was keyed on that peer (slowapi's get_remote_address), so each limit was one bucket for the whole internet: ten node sign-ins a minute shared by every node. A node starting while others signed in got 429 and sat in waiting_for_hub, which the desktop app took for no node at all. Key it on client_ip, which already resolves X-Forwarded-For from a trusted proxy and was written for this. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(node,client): query TMDB only once a language is chosen, in that language

2026-09-26T12:28:13Z

TMDB fiches are fetched lazily, on browse, and the fetch used to run whatever the moment it was first triggered — routinely before the operator had opened settings and picked a language, so it queried in TMDB's English default. Then the fiche was cached by tmdb_id alone, with no note of language and a 30-day TTL, so switching to the intended language afterwards changed nothing: the English fiche was served until it expired. The operator's only recourse was to find and wipe the cache by hand (found live 2026-09-26: a whole library indexed in English although "Français" had been chosen). Two rules now, both there to make the first fetch the right language rather than English-then-corrected, and to stop the doubled requests that eventually get a node rate-limited: - No language configured, no query. media_meta_req/season_meta_req answer confidence 0 and make no TMDB call while tmdb_language is unset; the fetch waits for the operator's choice, so the first (and only) query is in it. English is now a first-class choice (en-US), not the default of skipping the setting. - Changing the language wipes the metadata cache (ops.set_tmdb_config), so the new language takes effect on an already-browsed library. The file->tmdb matches are language-independent and kept. The client refetches on the tmdb_config_ack that carries the new language, so the grid updates without a page reload. docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §9.7 states both rules; tests cover the gate and the cache wipe, and two existing handler harnesses now declare a language.

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.

fix(hub): the NAT-punch signal needs a shared active group, like the offer relay

2026-09-26T00:44:52Z

POST /v1/nodes/{id}/incoming checked only the caller's own address, then revealed whether the node was connected (404 vs 504) and, with QUIC on, made it punch — so any authenticated account could poll it for a node's liveness or make a stranger's node emit a UDP probe. The membership gate webrtc_offer did inline is now require_shared_active_group() in api/signaling.py, called by both routes; in notify_incoming it runs before anything depends on the node's connection state, so a non-member gets one uniform 403 whether the node is up or not. test_incoming_membership.py holds it (a non-member is refused with a membership 403 whether the node is connected or not; a member passes the gate); red before, green after. The offer relay is unchanged in behaviour (it now calls the shared helper); signaling/availability suites pass. Design §7.2 updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8

feat(protocol): bind the MNP token to the node it is for (E10)

2026-09-26T00:03:50Z

The audience split stopped a member's node credential from opening the hub API. It did not stop the credential being *replayed to another node*: the MNP token carried the member's whole group set and named no node, so a token handed to node A's operator could be presented to node B the member also belongs to. That does not read content on B — the handshake still requires proving node B's group key, which the operator lacks — but it reaches B's pre-proof window and fetches the member's *encrypted* keypair bundle for B (offline-attackable, bounded, audited): a disclosure §2.4 says should not follow from hosting a member on A. The token now names the node it is minted for (a `node` claim = that node's Ed25519 key), and authorize_token refuses one that names a different key. The client already knows the target node's key (from /v1/groups/{id}/nodes) and asks for a token bound to it: POST /v1/nodes/mnp-token takes node_pk, and transport.connect threads it (group-page, the connection pool and rewrap pass n.pk_node; reconnect preserves it). A token that names no node is still accepted, because the hub only mints one for the authenticated requester, so an unbound token grants nothing across accounts — which also keeps non-binding callers working with no churn. Done before deploy, so it folds into the MNP 4.0 flag day rather than needing its own. Docs: §5.2, register E10, MESHBAY_NODE_PROTOCOL.md §6.3. test_handshake.py and test_mnp_token.py hold the binding (a token for node A is refused by node B, accepted by node A; an unbound token still works); red before, green after. common/node/hub suites green.
