feat(packaging): 4-package .deb/.rpm build system under /opt

2026-08-31T08:49:45Z

Shared venv architecture: meshbay-common owns the Python venv with all pip deps pre-installed; hub and node add only their code into it. Client is a standalone Electron app. No pip runs at install time. - Add build scripts (packaging/build/) for common, hub, node, client - Add orchestrator build-packages.sh with deb/rpm auto-detection - Add .deb control/postinst for all 4 packages - Add .rpm specs for all 4 packages (replaces python3-meshbay-common) - Add Gnome .desktop launcher and icon resizing - Add firewalld services (meshbay-cast, meshbay-node) and UFW profiles - Update systemd units to use /opt/meshbay-common/venv/bin/ paths - TMDB token baked into node package at build time via QE/node.env - Fix package-lock.json sync for protobufjs override Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6

fix(node): fall back to a loose MusicBrainz query when the strict one finds nothing

2026-08-25T12:50:36Z

search_release() only ever tried a field-scoped exact-phrase Lucene query (artist:"..." AND release:"..."). Verified live against musicbrainz.org: any deviation from MusicBrainz's own spelling (a year suffix, an edition tag, an artist credited under an older/aliased name) drops it to zero results outright rather than a low-scored one, so the confidence check never even ran — this is why well-recognized artists were still getting almost no cover art. Add an unscoped loose-query fallback, escape Lucene special characters in the interpolated tag text, and make the confidence score consider the artist match too (not just the album title) now that the fallback has no field scoping to rely on. Also document MESHBAY_MUSICBRAINZ_CONTACT_DEFAULT in the systemd units and man page, mirroring MESHBAY_TMDB_DEFAULT_TOKEN's precedent — never a literal value in source, configured via node.env.

feat(node,hub): add Videos group app (poster grid, flat list, TMDB metadata)

2026-08-24T08:04:46Z

Implements docs/mediacenter.md: a "Videos" group application built on the existing files index rather than a separate catalogue. On the node side, new indexer enrichment (technical probe, filename/season parsing, thumbnail generation) runs per-file once an operator has chosen a video_root for the group, plus a TMDB client for on-demand poster/metadata lookups (never client-side, thumbnails delivered over the existing chunk path). On the hub side, a new video-app.js renders a lazily-mounted poster grid or a thumbnail-only flat list, with TMDB entirely optional per group. Along the way: the global apps registry now drives Settings' default-tab picker instead of a hardcoded list, and the video_root is configured from group Settings (like uploads) rather than from Files, with the node refusing to run any TMDB/thumbnail work until one is set. Fixes several bugs found via live testing against a real library, notably a race between two effects writing the same "image ready" state that could leave a poster grid spinning forever on a same-tab revisit — see mediacenter.md §5.4 for the full account of each one.

feat(node): Phase 11 — production-ready daemon with WebRTC, WS, chat, HTTP

2026-08-11T20:11:18Z

The node daemon was previously a skeleton that only started QUIC/TCP servers and the local web UI. All browser-facing functionality (WebRTC, hub WebSocket, chat store, HTTP file API) lived in QE demo scripts. This rewrites daemon.py to be fully self-contained: - WebRTC transport for browser clients (aiortc DataChannel) - Hub WebSocket task (signaling, revocations, WebRTC offers) - ChatStore per group (SQLite in ~/.local/share/meshbay/) - HTTP file API per group (create_http_app on configured port) - Graceful shutdown (all transports, stores, tasks) - hub_client: _ws tracking + send_ws() for chat notifications - config: data_dir field for persistent state - systemd: security hardening (ProtectSystem, StateDirectory) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6

chore: add RPM/DEB packaging artifacts — 5.10

2026-08-09T03:19:13Z

3 packages: python3-meshbay-common (dep), meshbay-hub, meshbay-node. RPM: spec files with pre/post scriptlets (useradd, systemd macros). DEB: DEBIAN/control + postinst for hub, control for node + common. Systemd: hub.service (system, security hardening) + node.service (user template @%i, EnvironmentFile for MESHBAY_UNLOCK_KEY). packaging/README.md: build + install instructions.
