The tests that read ops.py for an absence (fastapi, a TOML path without
as_posix, the reference app's name) and the one counting operations by
module now take every file of ops.py or the ops package.

<title>fix(node): take the availability poll and every upload write off the loop</title>

The rest of AV9's disk half. Serving a file left the loop in the commit before
this one; two paths were still on it.

**The availability poll.** `RootSet.refresh_availability` stats every root, and
eleven call sites reached it from `async def` — the reconcile loop among them, on
a timer. On a sleeping disk that is a stall once per tick, and the stat is also
what keeps the disk awake, so a node paid spin-up for a library nobody was
reading. All eleven now go through `off_disk`, `Root.is_live` included.

**The upload write.** `open`/`write`, and the resolve, the stat, the free-name
search, the rename and the unlink around it. This one could not simply be
awaited: the handler was synchronous, so nothing could come between the
`chunk_index != state.next_index` check and the `advance` that answers it, and
that is the whole of the chunk-ordering rule. Awaiting the write opens the gap —
chunk 1 arriving while chunk 0 is in the disk thread reads a position that has
not moved and is refused as out of order, so an upload would fail on a slow disk
and nowhere else. Verified, not assumed: without the lock the new ordering test
refuses three chunks of four.

So the check, the write and the advance are one critical section again, under a
lock held **per group**. Not per session: `partial_uploads` lives in the group
context so a reconnecting client finds its upload where it left it, which means
two sessions of one member share the position of one `.part` file. Arrival order
is preserved by construction — the dispatcher creates one task per message as it
arrives, tasks start in creation order, and the lock is the first thing each one
waits on, so its waiters queue in arrival order too.

`_do_file_upload` is a coroutine now, which is why forty-two test call sites gain
an `await`. Their outcomes are unchanged, file by file, against the run before
the change.

`test_ops.py` asked which public coroutines `ops` exposes and got `off_disk`,
imported rather than defined there. It now asks for the ones written in the
module, which is what its own docstring means; all forty-three operations are
still checked.

<title>test(node): the backslash-path test modelled the wrong platform</title>

It asserted `Path(win_dir).as_posix() == "C:/Users/alice/Media"`, which is only
true where `Path` is a `WindowsPath`. On every other machine a backslash is an
ordinary filename character, `as_posix()` converts nothing, and the test failed
against correct code — so it has never passed on this suite's usual host, and
never guarded anything there. `PureWindowsPath` names the flavour and makes it
the same assertion on all three platforms.

The round trip also only ever proved that `as_posix()` produces a parseable
string, never that the config writer calls it — which is the defect, and one no
Linux machine can reproduce: the file is written, parsed and served correctly
here and fails on the operator's Windows box. A second test reads ops.py for
every f-string landing on the right of a TOML `path =` and requires
`as_posix()` in it. Weak evidence, and the only kind available for a platform
the suite does not run on; checked to fail with the call removed.

<title>fix(groups): finish Phase 1 — MNP root management, upload targets, eject state</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ea56b8c79538323875c00db2e7006b255f7cd494</id>
<content type='text'>
Review of the Phase 1 commit found the RO/RW model sound but three paths
unfinished, each of which broke the flow the phase exists to deliver. Plus
29 test failures it introduced and no coverage for anything it added.

Uploads went to the wrong directory. The node read a `root` field on
file_upload that no client ever sent, so every upload landed in the first
writable root while the Files toolbar offered its button based on the root
being browsed — with two writable roots, uploading from one wrote into the
other. Files now names the root it is showing; Chat names one chosen in the
shell (an operator-configured directory arrives in Phase 2); the node refuses
an unknown name rather than falling back, and refuses read-only and ejected
roots by code.

Shared directories were unreachable on the web. The table read its roots
only from the loopback API, which resolves to "not available" in a browser,
so the section rendered for nobody there — while the Uploads controls it
replaced had worked — and the transport.updateRoot/ejectRoot/plugRoot methods
beside it were dead. MNP is now the path, loopback the fallback for a local
node with no live connection, and adding a root over MNP takes a typed path
since no web page can browse a remote disk.

Ejecting updated nobody's screen. transport.js resolves an admin ack against
the pending request and returns, which is right for every op whose caller
knows the value it chose; the root acks carry state only the node can compute,
so the operator who clicked Eject was the one client that never saw it happen.
And the ejected flag reached roster.db but was never read back, so a restart
undid it and the next scan read an empty mount point as an erased library.

Also: the member-upload endpoint answered 200 and did nothing (removed); the
wizard ignored the first root's RW switch; reload compared roots on name and
path, so editing writable in node.toml did nothing; the table had no path
column, which is the only thing separating two libraries sharing a basename;
apps_enabled normalisation differed between the two sides of a signed subject.

Tests: eject/plug, per-root upload refusal and the node.toml rewrite had no
coverage at all. test_member_upload_policy.py is replaced by
test_root_writable_policy.py — it tested a removed feature — and every
property worth keeping from it moved rather than being dropped.

Docs: draft-v6 structural decision 9 is annotated as superseded (the operator
can no longer have a directory only they may write to — a real capability
removed, flagged rather than hidden), the man page documents the root verb and
the RO/RW fields, and refactor-groups.md §7b records what the plan got wrong.

Suite: 41 failures before, 13 after — all 13 pre-existing on main.

<title>fix(node): make init, node.toml editing and CLI output work on Windows</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c2620a5b269db75fcadb772e3ae5250886e8814c</id>

Found by running the daemon on Windows for the first time:

- `meshbay-node init` wrote `unlock_file = "C:\Users\..."`, and
  attach_group / add_root write `path = "C:\..."` — a raw Windows path in a
  TOML basic string is a parse error (`\U`, `\a`, ... are escape sequences),
  so the config would not load. All now write `Path(...).as_posix()`;
  pathlib reads the forward-slash form fine on Windows.
- any `print()` carrying a `-&gt;` arrow or em dash (the CLI help and messages
  are full of them) raised UnicodeEncodeError on a cp1252 console and took
  the command down. New `platform.force_utf8_stdio()` reconfigures
  stdout/stderr to UTF-8, called at the top of `main()`.

Verified on Windows: init writes parseable LF node.toml, the keystore
Argon2-decrypts, the loopback control API binds 127.0.0.1, and
`_update_node_toml` reads a CRLF file and rewrites it LF-only with its
standalone comments intact. Two regression tests added in test_ops.py.

<title>feat(node): persistent index cache, visible scan progress, adaptive reconcile, and delta sync</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b3709ac4d362987a9d025616c95065ceed0d216b</id>
<content type='text'>
Indexer performance work, in four parts:

- Persistent (path, size, mtime) -&gt; hash cache (indexer/cache.py) so a node
  restart no longer re-hashes every file — measured at 23 minutes for a
  114 GB library on a slow disk before this, near-instant after. Hashing
  is deliberately kept sequential (max_workers=1): it was never actually
  concurrent despite the pool size, and two interleaved reads seek-thrash
  a spinning disk instead of going faster.

- Byte-based scan progress (IndexProgress), surfaced via the loopback
  index-status route, the handshake ack, and a periodic INDEX_PROGRESS
  push to connected peers — drives a progress bar in the Create Group
  wizard and "add a directory" in Settings, and an animated presence dot.
  Guaranteed to settle back to idle via try/finally and a final push on
  the scanning-&gt;false transition.

- The reconcile backstop's directory walks now run in the executor
  instead of blocking the daemon's event loop; its interval defaults to
  10 min (was 60s) with adaptive backoff to 2h when nothing changes,
  reset on a real change or a peer connecting, and is now a per-group
  operator setting (signed op + group Settings UI).

- INDEX_DELTA wired up (protocol support existed, nothing called it):
  _on_index_change now sends additions/deletions instead of rebuilding
  the full entries list, coalesced over a short window so a burst of
  file events produces one push, and the hub swarm registration for
  public groups only (re-)registers newly added hashes.

Also fixes several bugs found while testing the above against real
libraries (a 114 GB and a 100+ GB group on a USB HDD):

- /api/reload blocked until the reload — including a brand-new group's
  full initial scan — finished, which the Electron bridge's fixed 30s
  call timeout turned into a hard failure on any real library. The route
  now fires the reload without waiting (ops.start_reload), matching
  add_root/remove_root's existing pattern; the wizard's own step order
  was fixed to wait for the group to actually appear hosted before the
  steps that need it (extra roots, GEK), with retries for the residual
  race between that and the daemon's own bookkeeping.
- transport.js's hand-rolled msgpack codec had no case for uint64/int64
  (0xcf/0xd3) and crashed decoding any message containing one — hit by
  IndexProgress.scanned_bytes/total_bytes for any group over ~4.3 GB.
  Verified against real msgpack-encoded bytes from the Python side.
- chat_hist_resp, and this change's own index_progress and
  set_scan_settings_ack pushes, were not routed by message type and
  could be handed to an unrelated pending request by the transport's
  "oldest pending" fallback, stalling it until its own 30s timeout and
  corrupting whatever received the wrong reply in its place.

<title>feat: unified group management, public groups, and activity-based sidebar</title>

Create Group wizard (Electron-only) consolidates 6 steps across 4 interfaces
into a single multi-step page: group creation on hub, node attachment, root
selection via folder picker, GEK initialization, and auto-pairing — all in one
flow. Browser SPA keeps its current behavior unchanged.

Public group support (Option A — GEK for all groups):
- All groups have GEK regardless of visibility; open-join groups auto-admit
  via TOFU when join_policy is "open"
- Key rotation blocked for public groups (API guard + UI hidden)
- Hub signaling allows WebRTC offers for nodes hosting open-join groups even
  when the caller isn't a member yet
- attach_group writes join_policy to node.toml
- Daemon loads GEK for all groups, not just private ones
- Known-device path in join_request now auto-admits to open-join groups

Node loopback API bridge (Electron IPC):
- node:detect, node:call, node:pairing-code IPC handlers in main process
- Renderer never sees tokens, paths, or keys (session token = physical access)
- platform.js node namespace for UI consumption
- Loopback endpoints: roots CRUD, member-upload toggle, reload

Bug fixes:
- Root change detection: removed premature ctx["roots"] updates from add_root
  and remove_root that prevented indexer retarget on reload
- Duplicate offline message: global fallback now gated on !group
- Signaling membership check: fallback to open-join groups for non-members

Sidebar groups sorted by last_activity_at (most recent first):
- New Group.last_activity_at column with Alembic migration
- POST /v1/groups/{id}/activity endpoint, called on connect and chat send
- Client-side sort + throttled hub updates (1/min)

<title>feat(node): several named roots per group, and one implementation per operation</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.meshbay.org/meshbay.git/commit/?id=e9d5e979fdab9a1cc3c729d602e6f27207b9480c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e9d5e979fdab9a1cc3c729d602e6f27207b9480c</id>
<content type='text'>
Stage A — a group's content is a set of named roots
---------------------------------------------------
`shared_dir` becomes a list of {name, path, kind}. The name is the directory's
basename, derived once at add time and *stored*: recomputing it would
re-identify a whole library the day someone renames a folder on disk. Duplicate
names are refused case-insensitively and no root may contain another — both
compared with NFC folding, because most of these directories live on exFAT or
NTFS where `Films` and `films` are one directory.

Every index path carries its root name, in a one-root group as much as in a
five-root one. One path shape has to be got right once; two have to be kept
right for ever.

**A root that goes away freezes; it never empties.** Unmounting a volume makes
watchdog report every file under it as deleted, or presents an empty directory
to the next scan. Acting on either propagates deletions for a whole library to
every member, as though the owner had erased it. So a deletion is acted on only
once its root is confirmed readable, and availability is tracked per root — one
unplugged drive leaves the others serving. 12 tests, verified to fail against an
indexer without the check.

Events are not trusted to be complete either: ReadDirectoryChangesW drops them
under load and inotify on a FUSE mount misses changes made outside it. A
periodic reconciliation sweep is the only thing that recovers a missed event.

MNP 0.2 → 0.3 (additive). The hub needs no change: SwarmSource carries a content
hash, a node id and an endpoint — no paths, no filenames — and private groups
register nothing (H7).

Stage B — one implementation behind every front door
----------------------------------------------------
C1 and C6 were both "a second path into the node with its own weaker
handshake". Two implementations of `revoke` with two authorization checks is
that shape one size down. `meshbay_node/ops.py` holds each operation once,
takes the daemon state, and knows nothing about HTTP, argv or MNP. The loopback
API is one `_op(...)` line per endpoint; the MNP handlers call the same
functions. test_ops.py asserts the shape rather than trusting it.

Phase 14 is finished on top of it — `group list`, `gek init|rotate`, `reload`
(SIGHUP), `denylist show|clear`, `file list|rm`. **No operator action requires a
browser any more.** Plus `gek_rotate` and `member_unpin` as operator-signed MNP
operations: rotation is the half of revocation that revocation cannot do, since
the ex-member holds the current key, and the node generates the replacement
with its own CSPRNG — no key material crosses the wire, which is what the C5b
rule is actually about.

Two bugs found by running it rather than by testing it
------------------------------------------------------
GroupIndex is keyed by **content hash**, so the same bytes at two paths are one
entry — which is also why a scan reports ten files and indexes nine.
Reconciliation compared paths, so it decided the second path was a missed event
every 60 s, rewrote the entry and pushed an index update to every connected
peer. Seen in a live node's log.

`meshbay-node reload` crashed on first use with `subprocess` unimported: the
module compiles fine, which is the "syntax, not names" trap already recorded for
the SPA. test_cli_dispatch.py now walks every verb and refuses to let one be
added to the parser without an entry there.

Also corrected: protocol.py declared a second MNP_VERSION of "0.1" while the
wire carried "0.2" — harmless only because nothing imported it. And
_do_dir_create/_do_dir_delete referenced an undefined `filename` on their error
path.

740 tests pass; QE/deploy/e2e.py passes end to end against the live deployment.
