style: ruff's own fixes, mechanically applied

2026-09-19T12:24:13Z

`ruff check .` had gone unrun long enough to report 568 errors, which is the same as having no linter: the next real finding would have been invisible in the noise. This is the 521 it fixes by itself, in 173 files, and nothing else — the 98 it cannot fix are the next commit. What actually changed: import sorting (225), imports nobody used (87, none of them a re-export — no `__init__.py` is touched, which was the one way this could have broken an import elsewhere), `datetime.timezone.utc` to `datetime.UTC` (69) and `asyncio.TimeoutError` to `TimeoutError` (18), both plain aliases on the 3.12 this project requires, `Optional[X]` to `X | None` (24), and f-strings with nothing to interpolate (19). Checked rather than assumed: every module in the three packages still imports, and the suite is 2893 passed — the same count, test for test, as the merge before it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

feat(hub): leaving a group, a cap on public ones, and hosting as a precondition

2026-08-16T13:28:28Z

Leaving is its own endpoint rather than a relaxation of the owner's removal check — an authorization rule with an exception in it is the one that gets read wrong later. The owner cannot leave: the group would be left with nobody able to admit, edit or delete it, which is the answer removal and account deletion already give. Public groups are capped at ten live ones per owner. They are the ones that cost other people something — listed in Discover, joinable by anyone — so a script that opens hundreds fills the directory for everybody. Private groups are invisible to non-members and are not capped. Hub staff are exempt; the cap is anti-spam, not a rule about running an instance. Creation is the only place it can be checked, and deliberately so, because PATCH refuses to change visibility at all. A group is now listed only once a node has announced that it hosts it. Before that it has no files, no key and nothing to connect to, so showing it to a member produces a name they cannot open and cannot be told why; its owner still sees it while they set the node up. `meshbay-hub prune-groups` collects the ones that never got a node, meant for cron, with --dry-run. The migration backfills hosted_at from created_at: without that the first run would have deleted every live group. Presence rides on the group list itself, read from the signaling registry the hub already keeps — no poll, no timer. It says a node is connected *to the hub*, which is not a promise that this browser can reach it and not something a dishonest hub could not fake; the client downgrades it on a connection it tried and failed, which is the evidence that concerns the reader.
