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

refactor(mnp)!: one answer to "may this member write", and it is the root

2026-09-10T15:23:40Z

The group-wide `member_upload` switch is gone: the message, the signed operation, the field on the handshake ack, the `upload` alias on every root in the index payload, and the client's fallback path to it. Whether a member may write has been a property of each root for a while, and that is the model that survives: a single flag over the group cannot express "this library is published read-only and that folder is a drop box", which is the ordinary arrangement. What was left of the switch was a handler that logged a deprecation and acted on nothing, and a client that read `ack.member_upload` whenever the roots carried no `writable` — a second source for one question, with whichever the code consulted first deciding it. `roots.describe()` drops `upload` for the same reason: it was `writable` under an older name, and two names for one boolean is one too many. The paperclip now says "nowhere to write" rather than picking a root, in a group that has none writable. That is the honest answer; the fallback picked whatever came first and failed at send time. Node suite 1215 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AsoWC3GmhNdwVFomW3QjH3

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

2026-09-06T15:48:36Z

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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011pvMdvLBG92jyhvD5pD6us

test(node): make the suite pass on Windows

2026-09-04T00:20:57Z

- `.read_text()` on source files now `encoding="utf-8"` — cp1252 chokes on the em dashes / box-drawing chars those files contain. - test node.toml templates embed paths via `Path.as_posix()`: a raw Windows path in a basic TOML string is a parse error (`\U`, `\a`, ... are escapes). - new `test_platform.py` covers `meshbay_node.platform` by mocking `sys.platform` / `os.environ` — runs on both OSes. - `skipif(sys.platform == "win32")`, in `conftest.needs_subprocess` and inline, for the documented gaps: ffmpeg/ffprobe via asyncio subprocess (the win32 selector loop, forced for aiortc, cannot spawn one), the systemd `reload`/`restart-daemon` delegation (Windows path is W3), the keystore `st_mode == 600` assertion (NTFS ignores mode bits), and the symlink-escape test (needs Developer Mode). Windows: 781 passed, 25 skipped. No change on Linux. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

feat: unified group management, public groups, and activity-based sidebar

2026-08-20T20:21:19Z

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) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6

feat(node): several named roots per group, and one implementation per operation

2026-08-18T00:15:02Z

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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5
