fix(node): a removal made at the machine is in audit.db

2026-10-15T12:24:44Z

The Node page and the CLI remove access through the loopback API, and revoke and unpin there wrote nothing to audit.db; only the signed MNP door did. A removed person's next connection then showed an auth_failed with nothing before it to explain it. Both routes now record member_revoke and member_unpin once the operation has succeeded, with the node's own account as the actor and 127.0.0.1 as the address, which tells the two doors apart. A refusal changes nothing and records nothing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(node): skip a file the disk stops answering for, then pause its root

2026-10-14T08:17:49Z

A Windows tester's scan stuck for good on one directory of a large disk: one read that never returned held the indexer's only thread, and with it every root behind that one. - A disk call is timed by its silence, not its length: each directory entry listed and each megabyte read counts as an answer. After 60 s of silence the call is abandoned on its daemon thread, the file is noted unread and the scan goes on. - Three silent files in a row pause the root (not persisted). Resume skips the files already known to give no answer; a restart, a replug or a change to the file retries them. - The walk is per directory with os.scandir: a subdirectory that cannot be listed costs itself, and a listing that stops answering pauses the root at once. A scan no longer stats anything from the event loop. - The log names the file after 10 s of silence, the indexing band shows it, and Group settings shows the paused root, where it stuck and the unread files with their reason, on the node's machine only. - generate_http_api.py writes LF on Windows too. Verified with real kernel-blocked opens (an unacknowledged oplock) in the installed frozen app. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat: let the operator pause and resume a root's indexing (MNP 6.2)

2026-10-11T22:17:32Z

A whole-root walk now checks its root before every file: removed or ejected, it stops instead of reading the drive to the end; paused, it finishes from the hash cache alone. A paused root is not watched, not swept by reconcile and survives a restart (roster), its indexed files stay served. Resume runs the reconcile sweep over the root, so entries and their enrichment are kept. Signed root_pause / root_resume over MNP, loopback routes, CLI `root pause|resume`, a pause button on the indexing dock and pause/resume in the roots table of Group settings.

docs: generate an HTTP API listing for the hub and the node control API

2026-10-05T08:36:18Z

docs/MESHBAY_HTTP_API.md lists every route of the hub (by domain, with the authentication each requires) and of the node's loopback control API. It is written by docs/generate_http_api.py from the routes and their docstrings; test_http_api_doc.py fails when the file drifts from the code or when a route has no docstring, so a new route must say what it does. 79 routes had no docstring and get a one-line description; a few whose first line did not describe the route get a summary line. The login page's developer docs gain an API link next to Design and Protocol, in every language. README, MESHBAY_DESIGN.md (§0.1, §6.7, §7) and CLAUDE.md point to the listing; README also points to examples/. The examples scripts with a shebang become executable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

refactor(mnp): remove ten operator messages no client sent

2026-10-02T08:51:19Z

node_status, node_settings_set, roster_read, denylist_read, denylist_clear, node_reload and the signed gek_rotate, member_unpin, transfer_limits, group_detach leave MNP 6.0; the Node page and the CLI do this work over loopback. Their ops keep their tests, moved to the ops level. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(node): how a hosted group admits people is the operator's, not the hub's

2026-10-01T07:46:39Z

attach_group no longer copies join_policy and visibility from the hub's answer: they come with the operator's request (the desktop creation form, `group add --open`) and default to invite/private; the CLI says when the hub lists the group otherwise. Every string written into node.toml is escaped (toml_string) and read back through tomllib, so a group or folder name cannot write lines of its own (F-17). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

refactor(node): remove five loopback routes nothing called

2026-09-28T20:47:23Z

The group-setting routes for app directories, chat directory, link previews, Search listing and scan settings had no caller and no test; those settings are signed MNP operations only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

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.

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

fix(node): Peers tab answered 500 after the webrtc split

2026-09-24T15:58:08Z

/api/peers imported _get_remote_ip, inside the function, from webrtc_server, which no longer has it. A test now resolves every meshbay import in the node's source, function bodies included. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
