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.

mnp 3.1: per-account blobs the node cannot read

2026-09-16T09:17:46Z

One row per playlist plus a manifest, so starring a track rewrites that playlist rather than the whole collection. blob_enc is a BLOB, not base64 TEXT: these run to hundreds of kilobytes. user_id comes from the session and never from the message; kind is validated against a pattern; every cap refuses with a stated reason rather than truncating. Additive, so MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED does not move — a 3.0 node answers "unknown message type" and the client writes to the next one it reaches. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

feat(chat): encrypt group chat under per-device epoch keys (MNP 2.0)

2026-09-07T15:50:28Z

Chat messages are sealed with AES-256-GCM under a key derived per group, per epoch, per *device*, and signed over the ciphertext with the device key the node pinned. The node relays and archives; it cannot read a message. There is no switch. MNP goes to 2.0 and MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED moves with it, so a 1.x peer is refused at the handshake with `version_too_old` rather than admitted and then unable to speak. An opt-in flag was designed and rejected: every node is a test node, so it would have bought nothing and left a plaintext branch reachable — C6's lesson one feature later. A test reads the source and refuses any code that consults a `chat_encrypted` setting. Not Sender Keys, and `senderkeys.py` is now documented as unused. With distribution under the group key and a node that serves history to devices which were not present, the node must retain each chain's earliest key, and a chain key at iteration i yields every message key from i on by pure HKDF — forward secrecy is zero either way. What the ratchet was left buying was stateful client code with silent failure modes, three of them reproduced: any member could sign as any other, a second device dropped the first's chain, and the skipped-key cache grew without bound. The reasoning is in docs/chat-sender-keys.md, which is the specification and the decision record. Epochs, not rotation: the epoch key is wrapped under the group key at delivery and never stored under it, so `gek_rotate` is a re-wrap. A group-key-derived archive key would have made every message ever sent unreadable on the first `member unpin`, which is the documented step after removing a member. A new epoch opens on member revoke/unpin, device revoke and `gek_rotate`; old epochs are kept and still delivered, so history stays readable to everyone who could already read it, and nothing anywhere deletes one. Three prerequisites this needed, each a live defect on its own: * The peer registry was keyed by user_id, so one account's second device evicted the first and the broadcast skipped recipients by account — a person's phone never saw what they typed on their laptop. * The handshake authenticated an account, never a device. `device_hello` (additive, signed, refused unless the key is a live device of this account in the node's own roster) is what lets the node refuse a member claiming somebody else's key. * `_admin_exec_file_delete` authorized against the exact uploading key, so device linking had already broken deleting your own file from your other device. It now authorizes against any non-revoked device of `uploader_id`. Found by driving the real panel over the real transport, not by reading source: `chat_keys_resp` was routed by arrival order and handed to an unanswered `media_meta_req` — the original frozen-tab defect in a message type that did not exist when that probe was written. And `_asText` had been deleted with an unrelated helper beside it; its only caller sits inside a promise the panel catches, so every conversation rendered empty with nothing in the console. Existing node data is migrated by QE/migration/migrate_chat_encryption.py (not versioned, per the QE rule), run with the node stopped.

feat: passphrase change and account recovery (auth-confirm)

2026-08-31T23:03:43Z

The passphrase derives two independent client-side values: auth_key (the hub verifier) and bundle_key (AES-GCM key for the per-node identity bundles, which live on nodes and never on the hub). Changing or recovering a passphrase is therefore two operations — swap the hub verifier, and re-wrap every reachable node's identity bundle. Flow A — change a known passphrase (Profile page) - POST /v1/users/password re-proves the current passphrase, swaps pw_hash/salt/version, revokes every refresh token and returns a fresh pair so the tab that made the change stays signed in. - MeshBayTransport.rewrapAllNodes: for every group's online node, connect with the old key, read the identity off the handshake, store it back under the new key. Returns updated / unreachable / failed so the UI can point at the operator-unpin fallback for the gaps. Always-shown confirmation dialog listing reachable and unreachable groups. Recovery key - keyderive.js generateRecoveryKey (32 random bytes, grouped Base32) and deriveRecoveryKey (HKDF-SHA256, domain meshbay:recovery:v1:). - Every per-node identity gets a second copy wrapped under the recovery key: keypair_bundles.bundle_enc_recovery (node-only column, added in _SCHEMA_KEYPAIR and via a PRAGMA-guarded ALTER for existing DBs), carried on keypair_bundle_store / _resp. MNP 0.13 -> 0.14, additive. - session.recoveryKey is persisted in IndexedDB (slot rk) and lazy-loaded on connect, so a group joined in any later session still leaves a recovery copy. - Shown once at registration; optionally folded into the verification e-mail as a pass-through the hub never stores or logs, with an opt-out. - Profile -> Recovery key re-loads R and backfills every reachable node via rewrapAllNodes in bundleKey mode (no passphrase re-entry). Flow B — recover a lost passphrase (#/reset, linked from sign-in) - POST /v1/users/password/reset-request {username, email}: both must be the pair on file, checked against the blind email_hash (never decrypted). A mismatch — wrong e-mail, unknown username, non-active account — takes the identical no-op path (no code, no mail, same 200), so it reveals nothing and cannot be used to spray reset mail from a username alone. 5/min, 1-hour single-use code. - POST /v1/users/password/reset {username, code, new_auth_key}: same expiry / attempts / single-use checks as e-mail verification; revokes every session and deletes every registered device key so a stored one cannot sign back in past the reset. - ResetPasswordPage: request code -> code + optional recovery key + new passphrase -> reset + sign-in -> fan-out. connect() falls back to the recovery-wrapped copy when the passphrase key cannot open bundle_enc. Without a recovery key: sign-in is restored and each group needs the operator-unpin fallback. Supporting fixes (found in live testing) - member unpin now also deletes the keypair bundle; connect() mints a fresh identity when handed a bundle it cannot open (unless _rewrapOnly, set by rewrapAllNodes), so a rejoin completes instead of dead-ending before the invite-code prompt. - A browser with no bundle key gets a passphrase prompt on the group page instead of a "go back to the browser you registered on" message. - RegisterPage / LoginPage / ResetPasswordPage trim the username so every key derivation matches the hub's stored form. Docs: docs/auth-confirm.md. Locale keys across all ten catalogues. Tests: test_password_change, test_password_reset, test_recovery_email, test_recovery_key, test_rewrap_fanout, test_bundle_store_recovery, plus additions to test_admin_ops_mnp and test_webrtc_transport. Hub suite 492 passed; node suite 741 passed (the lone test_packaging_units failure is a pre-existing RPM-spec flake, reproducible on main).

feat(client): make the key backup a choice, and raise the passphrase floor

2026-08-14T10:06:31Z

Two things the multi-browser story made obvious. **The backup is now opt-out.** Keys are kept, encrypted with the passphrase, on every node whose group you join — that is what lets a second browser recover them, and it is finding C4: a PBKDF2-protected blob on other people's disks, attackable offline at the speed of PBKDF2, which is memory-light and therefore cheap on a GPU. Until now everybody paid that cost, including people who will only ever use one browser and get nothing back for it. Settings → "Use this account on other devices". Turning it off does not merely stop future uploads: the next connection to each node withdraws what that node already holds (new keypair_bundle_delete, which only ever deletes the caller's own, taken from the authenticated session and never from the message). The warning says plainly what it costs — clearing the browser then loses everything encrypted for that account, with no recovery, which is the point of choosing it. Default is on. Silent, unrecoverable key loss is worse for an ordinary user than an exposure the roadmap already tracks, but that is a judgement call and it is now visible and reversible instead of implicit. **Passphrase floor 8 → 12 characters, plus a strength estimate** shown while typing, with a refusal below ~60 bits. This number matters more here than in most applications: it is what stands between a node operator and your identity keys. It has to live in the client — with the password split (T1) the hub never sees a password and cannot enforce anything about one — so the UI says why it is asking, rather than nagging. The estimator is deliberately conservative and dependency-free: character classes and length, penalised for repetition and for the handful of patterns everyone tries. Verified against the live deployment: withdrawing the backup leaves a second browser unable to recover anything, which is exactly what it promises, and re-enabling restores it. Tests: 338.

2026-08-13T01:56:30Z

Baseline commit capturing in-progress Phase 12 work that was already present in the working tree (uncommitted) before the Phase 11.5 security remediation begins. Committed as-is, without review or modification, so that remediation changes arrive as a separable diff. Contents: BundleStore (P2P GEK + keypair bundles), password split (auth_key / bundle_key), node Ed25519 auth (POST /v1/nodes/auth, node-scoped JWT), GEK-HMAC handshake proof with DTLS channel binding, Ed25519 admin challenge-response, node local admin UI rewrite, browser key persistence. Not authored in this session — captured to establish a baseline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5
