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

Merge origin/main: the operator's upload ceiling beside the disk-thread work

2026-09-19T12:01:38Z

One conflict, in §15.3's open list, and it was two changes agreeing rather than disagreeing: this side removed the rows for the third-party search bound and the node-announcement bound because both are now built (AV27, AV28), while the other side kept them and added a new one. Resolved by keeping what is genuinely still open — per-device revocation having no CLI — and leaving the two closed. `webrtc_server.py` merged without conflict but the two sides met inside one function: `_upload_chunk` gained the operator's `max_upload_gb` ceiling from there and the per-group lock and `off_disk` calls from here. Read back rather than trusted: the operator's ceiling now sits inside the critical section that keeps chunk ordering, and the unlink beside it goes to the disk thread with everything else. 2893 passed. The twelve `test_sticky_header.py[firefox]` setup errors are the open Firefox on this machine, as before.

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.

feat(node): per-file upload ceiling is an operator setting, default 8 GB

2026-09-18T23:49:56Z

Was a 4 GB constant in webrtc_server.py, the same on a small board and on a machine holding a library. Now max_upload_gb in node.toml, on the Node page and via `meshbay-node transfers max-size`, read from the transport context per chunk so a change reaches an upload already running. MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §6.4; §15.3 records a defect found beside it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

fix(node): give the per-member transfer cap a door anyone can open

2026-09-08T23:15:41Z

Reported as "the slots seem hardcoded to 2": `meshbay-node transfers set 8 8` and still only two downloads at a time. Not hardcoded — that is the *per-member* cap, which is a group's setting and is checked before the node's, so raising the machine's total cannot move it. But the diagnosis was right in the way that matters: nothing could change it. `OP_TRANSFER_LIMITS` shipped with exactly one front door, the signed MNP handler, and nothing anywhere opened it — no client call, no CLI verb, no loopback route. So the cap sat at its default of 2 for ever, which from outside is indistinguishable from a constant. CLAUDE.md states the rule this missed: operator operations are one implementation with several front doors. - `PUT /api/groups/{id}/transfer-limits`, calling the same `ops.set_transfer_limits` the signed handler calls; - `meshbay-node transfers per-member [--group X]`; - `transfers show` now separates the node-wide pools from the per-group per-member caps, and marks each `[set]` or `[default]`. It printed "2 per member" with no indication of where the 2 came from, which is half of why this looked like a constant. Zero is refused here as everywhere else: it is not "unlimited", and a member who may not transfer at all is a member the operator revokes. Verified on a live node: the cap changes, survives a daemon restart, and `transfer_probe.py --want 6` measures 4 granted against a cap of 4 where it measured 2 before.

feat(node): make the transfer caps settable, node-wide and per group

2026-09-08T12:53:03Z

Step 3 of ~/next/improve-downloads.md. Step 2 built the pools with constants; this gives them to the operator, in the two scopes they belong to. **The pools are the machine's.** `[node] max_concurrent_downloads` and `max_concurrent_uploads`, default 8, on the §2.11 pattern: node.toml for a fresh install, a roster.db override for immediate effect, editable from the Node page and from `meshbay-node transfers show|set`, applied live through the one `set_capacity` step 1 fixed. **The per-member cap is a group's.** How many transfers one member may run at once here — on the node like every other group setting (not the hub, which would have authority over someone else's disk; not node.toml, which is hand-written and needs a restart), changed by a signed operator instruction (`OP_TRANSFER_LIMITS`, subject "d=2,u=2" so what is signed names the outcome), broadcast to the group, and read live by the pools. That was the one thing step 2's shape could not express: `per_member` was a single node-wide number. `group_limits` and `member_cap(kind, member)` make it a lookup — the group's own value if it has one, the node's default otherwise — and it is deliberately the only dimension that is not node-wide. Three refusals, each with a test: - **absent means the default (2), never "unlimited".** A group that predates the setting coming back unlimited would leave the node-wide pool as the only control, which is the situation slots exist to end; - **zero is not "unlimited"**, and is not "this member may not transfer" either: the floor is one everywhere, and the CLI says to revoke the member instead; - **an unreadable row reads as unset**, not as zero — the same discipline the sealed messages follow, where a payload that does not open must never become a default state on its own. `handshake_ack` carries this member's own caps for this group, so the interface can say "2 of your 2 slots are busy" instead of drawing a bare spinner. Absent reads as "no limit known" and the hint is not drawn — never as "unlimited", which would have the interface contradicting the node. 1164 node, 793 hub, 0 failed.

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.

fix(node): remove --upload-dir rather than document it

2026-09-06T23:17:29Z

Caught in review, and the review was right. The previous commit documented the flag as deprecated so that `--help` and the man page would agree. That solved the wrong problem: the flag contradicts the model this whole refactor exists to establish, and the coherent answer was to delete it. It wrote `upload_dir` into a *brand-new* `[[groups]]` block, and `GroupConfig.__post_init__` reads that key by forcing every other root read-only and appending that path as the one writable one. So `group add --dir X --writable --upload-dir Y` silently made X read-only — two mechanisms deciding which directories accept uploads, one of them invisible, in a group created after the model that replaced it. Gone from the CLI, from `ops.attach_group`, from the loopback API and from the MNP `group_attach` payload, which now carries `writable` instead. The *read* path in `config.py` is deliberately untouched: an existing node.toml using `upload_dir` must keep working, and that is the only legitimate use left. The man page says so under the config key, and no longer lists an option. The test that guarded the deprecation wording now guards its absence — and earned itself immediately by finding a `group add` usage string still offering the flag.

chore(node): finish Phase 3 — CLI deprecations, Windows shapes, docs

2026-09-06T22:58:37Z

`member upload` reached the generic usage line for the other `member` verbs — "usage: meshbay-node member upload " — which advertises a removed feature and sends the operator looking for a username it would then reject. It names `root set --writable` now, and the man page carries the same. Three lines between an operator finding the replacement and concluding the CLI is broken. `--upload-dir` still works, so an existing script keeps working, but its help and the man page say it is the old spelling and name what replaced it. The Windows pass (§4.4) is what can be checked from here, made checkable: drive letters and UNC through `as_posix()` into TOML, a drive root having no basename to derive a name from — sharing a whole drive is ordinary there — and a case-insensitive collision, which on NTFS and exFAT is one directory indexed as two roots. `PureWindowsPath` throughout, for the reason the backslash test earlier this branch got wrong. What it cannot check is written down rather than glossed: ReadDirectoryChangesW dropping events, MAX_PATH, and whether an eject actually lets a drive be removed. §7d says so, along with two things the plan never considered — the RO/RW asymmetry in `_do_dir_delete`, and `index_delta` carrying roots but not `dirs`.
