docs: settle the desktop client, and draft v6

2026-08-18T00:14:39Z

A design discussion on 2026-08-17 settled Phase 13 and, in doing so, changed four things the spec states. v6 restates only those; v5 stays authoritative for everything it does not touch, per the convention v5 itself used with v4. What changed: * The native shell is **Electron**, not pywebview — structural decision 18 reversed. The SPA depends on Chromium-class APIs (WebRTC, WebCrypto X25519/Ed25519, MSE, Service Workers), so keeping Chromium keeps transport.js, crypto.js, keyderive.js, downloads.js and sw.js *as the client*. A system webview meant reimplementing ~2500-3000 lines. The old "69 % reused" figure was measured against an app.js of ~2600 lines; it is 4586. * A group's content is **several named roots**, not one directory, because the planned video and audio libraries will not live in one folder on one disk. * **Device linking**: one person may hold several devices on a node, admitted by a key the node already pinned and bound by a one-time code the new device generates. Without it a native client is refused where a browser is not, and an account created natively could never be opened in a browser. * **Authorship is authenticated, not asserted** — chat senders sign, uploads have a provable owner, and delete authorization moves from the uploading key to the account. And one rule v5 assumed without writing down: **group-related server state lives on the node.** Verified for multi-root — SwarmSource carries hashes and endpoints, no paths. Also here: the Caddy configuration, which was a snippet in the roadmap that would have broken the SPA (it predates /a// asset versioning and would have 404ed /sw.js, silently killing streamed downloads on Firefox and Safari); and downloads.html, which becomes a security page once a release key exists. Phase 15 was re-read against device linking and is wrong as written: a sender key must be per **device**, never per person, or two devices sharing a chain produce key and nonce reuse — C1 again, one level down. senderkeys.py already fails this silently.

feat(hub): Phase 10.1–10.4 — Site overlay + admin/moderation UI

2026-08-11T09:50:08Z

- Site overlay: landing page, /about, /downloads (dark/light, responsive) - User role column (user/moderator/admin) with config-based admin sync - require_moderator dependency + admin API (8 endpoints: stats, users, groups, audit logs) - Admin SPA panel at #/admin with 5 tabs (stats, users, groups, logs, blocklist) — visible only to moderators/admins - SPA also served at /app/ for Caddy site overlay integration - GET /v1/users/me returns current user role - 15 new tests, 147 total passing Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6
