test(hub): read the transport wherever it is split

2026-09-25T10:07:49Z

spa_source.transport_files() takes the classic transport*.js scripts from the hub's shell, in load order. Every test that read transport.js reads them all, the Node harnesses run them joined as one scope, the chat probe loads each, and the desktop shell must load them in order.

test(hub): read the search code wherever it is split

2026-09-25T08:23:05Z

The Node harnesses take one file or several, and the tests that lift connectToGroup and the pool out of search-page.js as text take them from spa_source, which also reads connection-pool.js once it exists. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(hub): Search reaches each group with one offer, and a busy hub is not a dead node

2026-09-23T22:10:41Z

The other half of the 4G failure. The page negotiated every group twice: the sweep opened a connection, read the index and closed it, then the warm-up opened the same group again. The sweep, the warm-up and the tiles each had a concurrency ceiling of their own, and together they went past what the hub admits per account. Whatever the hub refused was then reported as "node unreachable" and remembered as down, which put that group last next time. - Every connection goes through ConnectionPool, which holds the page's one ceiling (six at once, sized for twenty groups on a phone) and keeps what the sweep opened for the tiles. A visit costs one offer per group. A refresh costs none for a connection that answers a four-second ping, and a connection that died while the phone slept is replaced, not waited on. - A connection whose index is being read is held against eviction. With more groups than the pool keeps, it was otherwise the least recently used one. - Negotiations still under way when the page closes close what they get, and a sweep cut short that way remembers nobody as down. - transport.js sends an offer again on 429, 502 or 503, honouring Retry-After, with jittered waits of about twenty seconds at worst. Search counts each retry as progress. A 404, 403 or 504 still fails at once, so a dead node costs no time. The fan-out tests assumed a ceiling of three and were re-measured: four dead groups of twelve now hold nothing back, even on a first visit. The pool and the retry run as shipped code, lifted as text, against a fake clock. Each guard was checked by removing it and seeing its test fail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

docs: cite MESHBAY_DESIGN.md and a section instead of the merged notes

2026-09-19T00:12:47Z

The per-feature design notes were merged into docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md and deleted from the tree on 2026-09-11, but ~230 comments across the three packages still named them — usually written `docs/musicbay.md §3.2`, as though the file were still in docs/. A reader had to know §16 existed to resolve any of them. They now name the section directly. Every mapping comes from §16, the concordance, which already records where each old section landed: musicbay -> §9.8, mediacenter -> §9.7 for the Videos app and §6.5 where the subject is derived data, photos -> §9.9, auth-confirm -> §3.6, refactoring-search -> §9.11, invite-pairing-v1 -> §3.4, per-node-identity-v1 -> §3.2, captcha -> §7.7, chat-sender-keys -> §4.5, apps/refactor-groups -> §9.1–§9.4, desktop-client-v1 per section. Bare citations of the same documents (`draft-v6 §2.11`, `§4.8`, `§3.4`) are retargeted too: those collide with real section numbers in the design document, so leaving them would have been worse than the named form. Four cases the concordance does not cover, each decided rather than guessed: Sub-item references into documents that no longer exist — mediacenter's `§3.3 row 4`, `§3.4b/c`, `apps.md §3b` — name rows and sub-items §9.7 and §9.2 do not reproduce. The module-level citation stays; the sub-item pointer is dropped. The V-findings keep their labels but lose the dead `§10.1/` prefix. §13.8 lists V1–V13 as per-application open items, which is not what the labels mean in these comments, so pointing them at §13.8 would have been a false citation. `apps.md §5`'s virtualization requirement has no counterpart anywhere in the design document. The requirement is stated in the comment itself, so the citation is dropped rather than aimed at a section that does not say it. Comments that attributed a *sentence* to an old note — musicbay's "several thousand files" example, its "what got measured" note, its measured ~11%/~26% cover-art figures, the "original no root, whole shared tree" call — state the fact without attribution now. §9.8 does not contain those sentences and citing it for them would have been wrong. CLAUDE.md's "a reference to a document that no longer exists" row now says the concordance is for git history and out-of-tree material; the code cites sections directly. Verified: 2851 passed, 4 skipped. The 12 errors in the run are the Firefox leg of test_sticky_header.py's browser harness, which is broken at the browser level on this machine — headless Firefox (snap) dies with `[GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer`, renders nothing, and the probe exits `{"error": "no measurement"}` after its full 90s wait. Chrome runs the same 12 assertions in 3.2s and passes. Nothing here can affect it: every changed line in style.css is inside a comment. Also checked: ast.parse on every changed .py, `node --check` on every changed .js, the /* */ balance in style.css, and that no changed line exceeds the width its file already used.

music: the playlist menus

2026-09-16T10:10:25Z

One button in Music's sticky toolbar — load, create, delete, remove a track, sync now — and "add to playlist" on every cover and row. Both surfaces share one list, read from the manifest, so they open instantly with every node offline and no body is fetched until one is wanted. Submenus expand in place rather than flying out: the account menu's language list already does this, and a flyout has nowhere to go at 400px. The tracklist under "remove a track" loads when it is expanded. A name is typed into a field. Electron has no prompt — it throws. Also splits the two playback failures: a decode failure belongs to that file and keeps the bounded counter, a connection failure belongs to the group and skips all of its queued tracks at once. Six dead tracks are one more than the bound, which is where a playlist would otherwise stop. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

music: play, play next, add to queue

2026-09-16T09:01:02Z

The player's queue could only be replaced: every onPlayQueue reset tracks/order/pos together. It becomes one reducer (queue-ops.js) with an `op`, because two appends batched into one tick cannot both read the track count out of separate useStates. A shared pop-up menu (menu.js) carries the three verbs, on right-click and on a dots button. A track row is now a div holding two buttons: a button cannot contain a button. Found by the browser probe: both music wrappers took two arguments and forwarded two, so every "add to queue" arrived as a plain play. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

feat(hub): drop files and folders onto Files to upload them

2026-09-15T20:55:25Z

Into the folder on screen, under the Upload button's rule. A name already there, or one the node would refuse, cancels the whole drop with a message. Folders are recreated level by level; files go out a few at a time. The in-flight upload guard is keyed by folder and name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

feat(hub): Videos and Music list their cards a page at a time

2026-09-15T15:01:06Z

Previous/next arrows in the pinned toolbar, on group pages and in Search. Page size is an account preference (Settings → Defaults), 50 by default, 10 to 200 in steps of 10. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

fix(win): a service-mode daemon can be replaced, and the Node page can link one

2026-09-14T21:51:36Z

Two live-reproduced bugs in Windows node start/stop, found sideloading the 0.14.0 build: - node:start's crash-recovery step killed a service-mode daemon with taskkill/CTRL_BREAK, both of which fail with "Access is denied" against a process running under the Scheduled Task's own S4U logon session (a different session from the Electron app's). The daemon it was meant to replace just kept running, unreplaced, and schtasks /run on a task Windows still considered Running was then a silent no-op too. Route through winServiceTaskEnd() (schtasks /end) first, the way nodeServiceStop/ nodeServiceRestart already correctly do. service-mode.ps1 also now starts the task right after registering it -- Register-ScheduledTask's own AtStartup trigger does not run it immediately, so nothing was listening until the next reboot. - The Node page's Start button called node.start() with no arguments, so an unlinked node (a fresh install, or one whose hub-side link was lost) could never link on Start alone -- only create-group-page.js's own call passed {hubUrl, username, token}. Reproduced on a fresh non-service install signed in to the real hub: Start hung for ~105s and failed with "could not link", pointing at a "Link Node" control that lives on Settings, not the Node page (that message is fixed too).

feat: a group can be left out of Search, and Search tries every node

2026-09-14T19:45:53Z

`search_listed` is a per-group setting on the node, changed by a signed operator op and carried in the sealed handshake ack. Search reads it after the handshake and stops there: no index is fetched, cached or merged, in any of the four views, and the page says how many groups it left out. The switch is a "Search" section in the group's settings, shown to the operator. Absent means listed, at every layer: roster default, ack default, and the client only drops a group on an explicit `false` — so an upgrade or an older node removes nothing from anyone's Search. It is a listing preference and protects nothing: the node serves the same index to Search and to the group page and cannot tell them apart, every member lists the group by opening it, and a client that ignores the flag lists it in Search too. Design §9.11 says so, so it is never described as private. The cost is one handshake per unlisted group, because only the node knows the setting. Search also took `nodes[0]` twice — for the index and for the pooled connection — the defect 4cce50f fixed on the group page only. One `connectToGroup` now walks the list the same way: a refusal about this browser stops, `not_hosted` or a failed connection moves on.
