fix(node): a Windows daemon that stops properly, starts honestly and runs once

2026-09-27T20:20:35Z

Found by installing the builds and driving every startup mode live: - Stop through the node's own control API first (POST /api/shutdown, loopback and per-run token): the one channel that reaches a daemon in any session without elevation -- a service node runs in session 0 -- and the one that runs its shutdown. Then Task Scheduler, then a forced stop. Nine stops in a row used to log no shutdown at all: each was a TerminateProcess. - The forced stop spares the command running it. The frozen meshbay-node.exe is the daemon and every CLI verb, so `taskkill /IM meshbay-node.exe` killed `autostart stop` and `restart-daemon` themselves: exit 1, no output, and no node after a restart. It excludes its own pid and its parent's, and /T takes a venv launcher's python child and a daemon's ffmpeg children with it. - Start and restart report the version that answered, never "started" about a node nobody asked; `service start` says so when no node answered, and where the log is. - A second instance fails before it touches anything. The daemon wrote ui-token, then failed to bind inside uvicorn's task and exited with the reason on a hidden console; the node still running then refused every stop and status, its token file naming a dead process. The control port is now bound first (exclusively on Windows, where SO_REUSEADDR would share it), and a refusal is logged and exits 2. Linux had the same order. - The daemon logs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\meshbay\state\node.log: Task Scheduler discards its stderr. Only the daemon run opens it, never a CLI verb. - Hub sign-in waits are interruptible, a stop requested before the node is up is honoured, and a hub that answers 429 or restarts leaves the node in waiting_for_hub rather than looking dead. - operator_paired is null until the roster is read, instead of a false that showed "No operator paired" about a node whose pairing was intact. The node test conftest also points HOME, USERPROFILE, LOCALAPPDATA and APPDATA at a throwaway directory for every test, and keeps log_file() away from the developer's own node: redirecting HOME alone isolates nothing on Windows, and the CLI tests had been writing invite and pairing codes into the real profile.

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: 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

refactor(node): split ops.py into the ops package

2026-09-24T23:30:47Z

Each section of ops.py becomes a module of meshbay_node/ops/ (core, node_toml, members, chat, groups, roots, files, settings, apps), cut as text; ops/__init__.py keeps the docstring and re-exports every name, so `ops.` is unchanged for every caller. Logger name unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
