fix(node): plug an auto-ejected removable root back once its files return

2026-10-05T09:10:50Z

A node started with the desktop session runs before the session has mounted its USB drives. The safety net then auto-ejected every removable root and persisted it exactly like an operator's eject, so after each reboot those roots stayed ejected until someone plugged them by hand (seen on a node whose /media drives were mounted a minute after it started). An auto-eject is now stored as such ("auto" in roster.db). At startup and at every reconcile, an auto-ejected root whose path is readable again is checked against a few files the hash cache knows under it, at the same path with the same size and mtime; one found and the root is plugged back and rescanned. An empty mount point or another drive in its place is not recognised and stays ejected. An operator's eject is never undone automatically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

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

fix(node): print "running" once in meshbay-node status

2026-10-05T07:35:44Z

The daemon line repeated the state the daemon reports ("running — running"). The state is now appended only when it says something more than "running", such as waiting_for_hub. The QUICKSTART example is updated to match. 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

feat(mnp): sharing a folder is decided on the node's machine only (MNP 6.0)

2026-10-02T08:20:09Z

root_add, root_update and group_attach leave MNP: adding a directory and switching writable/removable go through the loopback API (native dialog in the desktop app) or the CLI. The operator's Settings tab still lists the roots from any browser, read-only. The desktop app refuses to sign those ops; a loopback flag change now reaches open pages (publish_roots).

fix(node): the clear fields beside a chat message are bounded

2026-10-01T11:25:35Z

sender_name and thread_id travel in clear beside the sealed envelope and were stored and relayed whatever their type and size. A name longer than a username or a thread id that is not a short id is now dropped (F-27). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(node): a member is told a media tool failed, not what ffmpeg said

2026-10-01T11:24:11Z

Stream, transcode and subtitle failures sent the exception's text — operator paths, versions — to the member. Fixed messages now, the cause in the log (F-24). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(node): the reaper deletes only the .part files the node wrote

2026-10-01T11:24:11Z

Any *.part older than a day in a writable root was deleted — a browser's download in progress in a shared folder included. Only names carrying the node's tag (name.<8 hex>.part) are reaped now (F-28). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(node): a revoked account is disconnected, not only refused next time

2026-10-01T11:24:11Z

A user revocation closed nothing: the denylist stopped the next connection and left the live ones streaming and chatting. Revocations now go through one method that closes the account's or the group's sessions (F-21). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
