merge: Phase 11.5 security remediation, invite redesign, per-node identity
Brings in the security remediation branch. Three bodies of work, and what they changed about what this project may claim. Phase 11.5 closed the gap between the documents and the code: the unauthenticated node HTTP API and the TCP transport deleted, one handshake shared by the remaining two transports, mutual authentication, structured admin transcripts, upload confinement, group isolation, revocation that reaches nodes. Six critical and seven high findings closed, bounded, or deferred by decision. The invite redesign closed H3 and M3 — the last open High. The hub was the key directory: an inviter fetched the invitee's key from it and wrapped the group key for whatever came back, so a hub answering with its own key was handed the group key by an honest member following the protocol exactly. That lookup is gone. The node holds the group key and wraps it itself, for a key its recipient proves possession of, bound to an account by a one-time code the hub never sees. M3 fell out of the same work: node authority comes from a local roster, never from the hub. Per-node identity cut what remains of C4 down to one operator. A single keypair used to be copied to every node its owner joined; each node now gets its own, so cracking the bundle on one machine yields a key that is a stranger everywhere else — and on that machine, one that unlocks nothing its holder did not already serve. The bundle KDF moved to Argon2id 128 MB, and the hub stopped storing or publishing user keys at all. What this project may now say: the hub cannot read your content unless it ships you malicious client code. T3 remains, accepted (D1), and is what the native client removes. C4 is reduced, not closed, until 13.3. Chat is still plaintext at rest until Phase 15. Draft-v5 §2 states each claim against the adversary it holds against, which is the convention this branch exists to keep. Four defects were found by deploying it and using a browser, none by the test suite: a node going deaf on its hub socket, a token that predated group membership, a client reading values before they were assigned, and identity keys a browser held but never re-read. The lessons are recorded in CLAUDE.md. Tests: 343 across the three packages, plus QE/deploy/e2e.py — register, pair, invite, join, download, stream, second browser, revoke — run against the live deployment on a wiped hub and node.
