fix(node): one member holds a share of the node, sized past real use

2026-10-01T08:34:26Z

128 peer sessions on the node, at most 64 per account (the hub names the account with each offer; the node's own account is not counted). One account plays at most half the stream slots, rounded up, and runs two subtitle extractions at once. Frames after the handshake are 8 MiB (was 64), decoded with per-container bounds, and a frame refused for either ends the session instead of jamming its buffer (F-16). Sized for the heaviest real member: twenty groups on one node, three devices and a tab, up to 52 sessions. Measured: ~0.15 MiB and one fd per idle session. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat: nodes apply the content blocklist in their public groups

2026-09-28T19:49:14Z

A node hosting a public group syncs the hub's blocklist on every connection (paged, node token only) and applies pushed changes. A blocked file leaves the index and is refused (content_blocked); private groups are untouched. The unused per-hash check route is gone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

refactor: remove the public-content swarm

2026-09-28T19:35:20Z

Nodes registered the hashes of their public groups on the hub and nothing ever read them back. Routes, model and node registration removed; a migration drops swarm_sources. No node sends the hub a content hash now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(hub): present a node-audience token in the handshake, not the hub session token

2026-09-25T15:24:16Z

A member authenticated to a node in the MNP handshake with its hub *session* token — scope=user, valid at the hub API for hours. A node operator is in the threat model, so this handed them a live hub credential for the member: enough to enumerate the member's other groups, act as them, and (before the previous commit closed it) take the account over. The node genuinely needs a hub-signed membership assertion, so the fix is to make that a separate credential that opens nothing at the hub API. Two audiences signed by the one hub key (meshbay_common/tokens.py): - HUB_API_AUD — session tokens (login, device-auth, node-auth, refresh), used for hub calls and signaling. decode_access_token now binds this audience, so an MNP token cannot be replayed against the hub API. - MNP_AUD — a short-lived token a member presents to a node and nothing else, from POST /v1/nodes/mnp-token. authorize_token now binds this audience, so a session token presented to a node is refused. This closes the disclosure. The node's own self-decode (hub_client.py) reads its node token with audience=HUB_API_AUD. The client fetches the MNP token inside transport.connect() (and on every reconnect) using the session token, so callers are unchanged and signaling keeps using the session token. No regression to a long session: the MNP token is checked once, at the handshake, before any proof — a film already playing is not re-authenticated, so a 15-minute token does not interrupt a 4-hour film; reconnects refetch a fresh one. Denylist and membership checks are unchanged (the MNP token carries sub/jti/groups). Tests: authorize_token refuses a session/no-audience token and accepts an MNP token; the hub API refuses an MNP token; POST /v1/nodes/mnp-token is minted only for a member's own session. Verified red-before/green-after; common, node and hub suites green (the pre-existing test_cli_golden failure is an argparse/pytest prog artifact unrelated to this change). Still to do before deploy (B2): bump the MNP version and client.minimum so a stale desktop client is told to update rather than getting a handshake refusal, update docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md and MESHBAY_NODE_PROTOCOL.md, and validate against a real node locally, then deploy hub+node+SPA atomically.

feat: invitation links no longer bound to an e-mail address

2026-09-25T15:10:15Z

A link is redeemable by whoever opens it first, so it can be sent by any messaging app. The address is optional (mail + label only); a link lives 7 days, fixed. Adds a Share button; see MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §3.4. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(node): member invite --link and member cancel in the CLI

2026-09-23T16:16:02Z

The CLI makes both halves itself — the node's code, then the hub's ticket bound to the address — and prints the link; a refused ticket takes the code back, and cancel takes back both. The CLI never asks the hub to mail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

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

fix: an empty group claim is a claim on nothing

2026-09-12T14:36:54Z

A node that hosts no groups sends no `group_ids` on its hub socket, and the hub resolved the claim with `set(claimed_groups or authorized)` — so "I host nothing" arrived as "I host every group this account belongs to", other members' included. Such a node can serve none of them: it holds no GEK, and its own handshake refuses them with "Group not hosted on this node". `/v1/groups/{id}/nodes` answers in registration order and `_node_groups` is in-memory, so which node a client was sent to depended on who reconnected first after a hub restart. GroupPage took `nodes[0]` with no fallback. On 2026-09-11 a hub deploy at 20:14 reshuffled the registry, a second member's unconfigured node won the race, and a group stopped opening for everyone in it with its only real host online throughout. Any member could take one of their groups down, by accident, by leaving an empty node running. Four changes, because no one of them is sufficient: - the hub never widens an absent claim, and `update_groups` goes through the same ceiling as registration — it assigned its list verbatim, so the bound that makes C2 hold at authentication was one message wide - the node states the empty set rather than omitting the field - the refusal carries `not_hosted`, so a client can tell "try the next node" from "you, here, must do something first" - GroupPage walks the list instead of indexing into it The three lines involved date from 13, 20 and 23 August and each is defensible alone. The defect is in the seam, which is where the last two also were: a falsy empty collection must never mean "unspecified".

fix: tolerate clock skew when verifying JWTs (leeway 60s)

2026-09-04T01:03:47Z

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).

refactor(node): platform abstraction for Windows portability (W1-W2-W5-W6-W7)

2026-09-03T14:20:28Z

Platform directories, signal handling, chmod guards, ffmpeg discovery, and platform-conditional CLI messages — all testable on Linux. See docs/WINDOWS-PORT.md §5 for the plan these implement. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6
