when idle
Browser idle sign-out (media playback counts as activity; not the desktop app),
refresh idle window and maximum session length, in hours. Sign-out now revokes
on the hub, and the profile has "sign out everywhere".

One derivation is 256 MB and a quarter to half a second of CPU (240 ms here,
485 ms on meshbay.org). All eleven call sites — sign-in, registration, the two
rehashes, passphrase change, reset and account deletion — ran it inline in an
async handler, so every one stopped the whole hub for that long: no request
served, no node socket read, no offer relayed. Measured on a local hub during
eight concurrent sign-ins, the worst `/v1/health` response went from 232 ms to
10 ms; the sign-ins themselves take the same time.
It could not simply go to a thread pool. Two concurrent `lanes=4` derivations
deadlock inside OpenSSL and never return, at no CPU — reproduced on
cryptography 50.0.x / OpenSSL 4.0.x both locally and on meshbay.org, while
`lanes=1` does not. `lanes` is part of every stored hash, so it is not ours to
change, and inline on the loop two derivations could never overlap, which is
the only reason production never hung.
So `auth.hash_password_off_loop` / `verify_password_off_loop` hand the work to
a dedicated executor with exactly one worker. Not a semaphore around
`to_thread`: a cancelled request would release its permit while its thread was
still deriving, and the next derivation would start beside it. One worker also
bounds Argon2's memory to one derivation whatever the number of callers.
`test_argon2_off_loop.py` reads every module for a direct call, pins the single
worker, runs four derivations and four sign-ins concurrently to completion, and
checks the loop keeps turning during a derivation; each fails with its guard
removed. CLAUDE.md and AV9 state the rule and the trap.

Passphrase sign-in locks per username: after `login.max_failures` wrong
passphrases (default 4) the name is refused with `429 account_locked` and a
`Retry-After` for `login.lockout_minutes` (default 60), without the passphrase
being checked. Both numbers are instance policy an admin sets from the panel;
zero failures turns it off. The per-IP limit bounds one address, and IPv6
gives every subscriber a /64 of them — an online guess targets an account, so
the account is what is counted.
- Counted by the name as typed, existing or not, so `login` stays uniform (M1).
The key is a hash: people type passphrases into the username field.
- The attempt is taken before the check in one `INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
… WHERE … RETURNING`, so a concurrent burst gets no more than the limit.
- Sign-in, passphrase change and account deletion count on the same row; the
last had no rate limit at all.
- A lockout refuses passphrase sign-in and nothing else: sessions, renewal and
device sign-in continue, and a reset code clears it (AV26). A session learns
its own lockout from `/v1/users/me`, and the passphrase change checks it
before re-wrapping any node's bundle — the hub accepts the new passphrase
only after the nodes have it.
The SPA now shows what the hub said. `loginAndRecover` threw "Login failed:
{json}", so `email_verification_required` never matched and was never shown;
the passphrase-change form rendered no error at all in its first phase.
The unauthenticated surface, reviewed route by route:
- No `/docs`, `/redoc` or `/openapi.json`, in the code. The Caddyfile hid them
on meshbay.org only; a packaged hub behind any other proxy published all three.
- The node socket's first message must arrive within ten seconds. It is
accepted before anyone is known, and an unbounded read is a connection any
stranger holds for free.
- `/v1/relays` answers 503 behind `relay.RELAYS_ENABLED`, as federation does:
nothing in the tree calls it and two of its routes take no account.
- `test_unauthenticated_surface.py` walks every route and fails on one without
an authentication dependency that is not listed with its reason.
Verified in Chrome against a local hub: the lockout and wrong-passphrase
messages, the admin section saving both lockout and mail limits, and the
passphrase change refused while locked. Not verified in Firefox (a running
instance blocks the headless one), nor the upsert's concurrency on PostgreSQL.

Every MHP route answers a stated 503. `federation.FEDERATION_ENABLED` is the
only thing that decides it, applied as a dependency on the router so the six
routes that exist and any added later are covered by construction — a gate you
have to remember to write in each handler is the shape C6 is the standing
lesson about.
The protocol is not what is wrong with it. What is wrong is that nothing has
ever run it: two hubs have never completed one authenticated request between
them. AV14 was two defects in the same path — an issuer signing with a key
bound before it was loaded, naming itself after the reference deployment
whatever the instance was called, and a verifier naming no audience for the
`aud` the issuer sets, which PyJWT refuses outright. Both stood for a month
behind a green suite, and both were found by reading rather than by running,
because a second implementation of a peer proves the protocol and nothing about
two machines.
Four of the six routes carry no authentication of their own — the MHP token is
the authentication — and two of those write, a directory push and a revocation.
That is the surface being closed until somebody stands up a second hub.
A constant and not a `hub_settings` row, deliberately: a switch in the admin
panel invites an operator to turn on a feature that has never worked between
two machines, where this takes an edit, a deploy, and reading the comment above
it. `/v1/hub/info` reports the state, because the `mhp_version` beside it would
otherwise be a claim the hub does not honour.
The protocol tests open the gate for their own duration and say why; the one
that runs with the flag as it ships asserts all six routes refuse. §7.6 states
the closure, §15.2 carries federation between two hubs as not built.

§15.3 gains the items the review found and did not close, each as what it is
rather than as a plan: the packaged install that has never been installed, QUIC
serving content outside every cap it does not implement, a relay registry
nothing calls, an unmetered third-party search, disk I/O on the node's event
loop, unbounded node announcements, and a migration chain exercised on a
database it does not ship on.
They are in the design rather than in a tracker because each is a sentence about
what the system currently is, and §15.3 is where the document already keeps
those. The seven that were closed this week are in §13.5b as AV20–AV25 and in
the sections they belong to.
CLAUDE.md gains the Firefox harness, which is the other kind of entry: eleven
errors at setup that look exactly like a regression, are not, and cost a full
diagnosis to place. `HOME` isolates the profile and not snap's single instance,
so any running Firefox blocks the headless probe, `--no-remote` and
`--new-instance` do not help, and a failed run leaves a process that blocks the
next. The chrome half covers the same geometry meanwhile.

`add_email_verification` wrote PostgreSQL's `(now() at time zone 'utc')` as a
literal server default, where every other migration in the chain uses
`sa.func.now()` and lets the dialect render it. On SQLite that is
`sqlite3.OperationalError: near "at": syntax error` — so `meshbay-hub migrate`
could not reach head on the database the suite and the documented local-hub
workflow both use.
Which is how it survived: the only test that ran alembic at all stopped at
`c3d4e5f6a7b8`, the revision immediately before it. The two newest migrations —
email verification, and the mail quota committed two days ago — had been run by
exactly one thing, a production deploy, and the newest by nothing at all.
`test_migrations_reach_head.py` upgrades to head and compares what that built
against `Base.metadata`, both directions: a column in the models and in no
migration never reaches production, and one in the migrations and in no model is
a rename abandoned halfway. Both tests fail on the unfixed migration with the
error above; the drift half was checked by adding a model column on purpose and
watching it be named. The schemas agree today.
It still does not check PostgreSQL-only behaviour — a default, an index type or
a constraint one dialect accepts and the other refuses. Running the chain
somewhere beats running it nowhere, and is not the same as running it where it
ships.

`ExecStartPre` ran `alembic -c /opt/meshbay-hub/migrations/alembic.ini upgrade
head`. The build does stage that file, so the path existed and the contents
were wrong: `alembic.ini` resolves `script_location` with `%(here)s`, so the
copy pointed at `/opt/meshbay-hub/migrations/src/meshbay_hub/db/migrations` —
which nothing installs, because the migrations ship inside `meshbay_hub`, in
the shared venv.
`ExecStartPre` failing stops the unit. A hub installed from the RPM or the DEB
could not start at all, and nothing noticed because the one live deployment
was assembled by hand — the same shape as the node unit that carried `User=`
into the user unit directory.
The same `%(here)s` trap was already found once on the server, where a stray
`alembic.ini` resolved to a month-old snapshot of the tree. Twice is a trap
rather than an accident, so the fix is that the path is no longer written down
anywhere: `meshbay-hub migrate` asks the installed package where its own
migrations are, which is correct for the RPM, the DEB, a venv and a checkout.
The build stages no `alembic.ini`; the repo keeps its own for `alembic
revision` and for deploy scripts that already work.
`env.py` now prefers a URL the caller resolved over re-reading the environment
itself, so `migrate --config` connects with exactly the string the server
will — one resolution, not two that agree until they do not.
Six tests, three of which fail against the unit as it was. They read the
directives rather than the file, because searching the whole thing finds the
comment explaining a directive and calls that the directive.

The figure was a line beside the settings form, which is where it is changed
and not where it is watched. It sits with the other live figures under
Statistics now — four cards and, above them, a banner saying which of the two
ceilings has fallen. The two states are not the same to whoever is reading:
one means newcomers are turned away, the other means somebody locked out of
their account cannot get back in. The settings block keeps a line pointing at
it.
And an operator no longer has to be looking. When a global ceiling is reached
the administrators are notified — in `mail.py`, in its own session, never
raising, because this runs while a request is being refused and an alert that
fails must not turn a refusal into a 500. Once per hour, keyed on a row
rather than a flag in memory: a flood is what spends the budget, so one alert
per refusal would bury the message under its own cause, and a hub that is
refusing mail is a hub somebody is about to restart.
`/v1/admin/mail` gains `general_exhausted` and `all_exhausted` rather than
leaving the panel to compare two numbers.
Labels in all ten catalogues; `.warn-msg` for the middle state, on the
`--warn` token both themes already define.

AV16 the allowance that survives a restart and that an operator can see and
change; AV17 the single worker.
And a lesson that cost a full suite run: `node --check` reports success on a
module-syntax error. An unclosed `.map(` inside a tagged template came back
clean four times. `test_spa_syntax.py` says exactly this in its own docstring
— copying to `.mjs` is what forces the module parser — and the reflex still
reached for `node --check`.

AV13 the mail gate, AV14 the MHP audience and the hub's own identity, AV15
the shape check on the unauthenticated blocklist endpoints. §13.5b also
records the auto-block threshold as an open decision rather than a defect.
Two lessons, both about tests.
A fixture narrower than production tests the fixture — and when it writes down
*why* it has to be narrow, that is a bug report nobody filed. Two test helpers
described the federation defects accurately, in comments, while routing
around them.
And a global's state is not a given, in a test least of all. One assertion —
that a refusal never logs the address — took three attempts, each passing
alone and failing in the full run, for three different reasons: caplog saw
nothing because the app configures logging, then a handler saw nothing
because an earlier test raised the logger's level, then because `disabled`
was left True.

The register grows by the four findings from users.py, and gains the pattern
underneath several of them: a limit written on one of several equivalent paths
(three endpoints send mail, one had no limit; every list in admin.py is
bounded, the two outside it were not; the group claim was bounded at
registration and not on reload), and a bound that counts the wrong thing (a
per-IP rate limit bounds a caller, never the mailbox that receives what they
cause).
Also records that admin.py was read under the lens and needed nothing, so the
next reader does not re-derive that.

The first three reviews asked who can read what, who can impersonate whom,
and what a hostile node can forge. None asked what a legitimate but
misconfigured or careless member costs everyone else — which is the question
a group platform lives on, because every member was invited by someone who
trusted them and none of them is an attacker.
C2 had asked "can a node claim a group its owner is not in?" and the answer
was correctly no. Nobody had asked what happens when a node claims one its
owner *is* in but does not host, which is how a group went dark for all of
its members with its real host online throughout.
§13.5b is the register, AV1 to AV8. The lens, for anything reviewed from
here: a participant supplies input; if anyone other than the sender bears the
cost, there is a ceiling to write, and it goes on every path that writes the
state.
CLAUDE.md gets the working rule and the incident as a lesson, and the stale
path to sync-ui.js corrected — it lives under scripts/, not build/.

Everything under static/ is served at /a/<hash>/ with a year's
`immutable`, but the hash was computed from a hand-kept list of 43
top-level modules. The ten catalogues and vendor/ were not on it, nor
was anything the guarding test could see: it globbed *.js at the top
level only. A change confined to the catalogues therefore kept the hash,
and a phone went on showing a heading that had been rewritten and
deployed - pull-to-refresh fetched the no-store shell, which was
current, and never refetched en.js at a URL that had not moved.
The fingerprint now hashes every file under static/, path and content,
so a change, a rename or a new file moves the version with nothing to
register. _ASSETS is gone, and CLAUDE.md, MESHBAY_DESIGN.md 9.4 step 6,
assets/brand/README.md and docs/playlists.md no longer ask for it.

Twenty-four files, about 17 000 lines: the two architecture drafts, the three
security reviews, eleven design notes, the roadmap, the decisions file, the v1–v4
archive, the deprecated user guide and the stale quickstart. Their content is in
MESHBAY_DESIGN.md, and git history holds the originals.
The reason to delete rather than keep bannered: a document that is superseded but
present still gets read, and a reader cannot always tell which of two accounts of
one mechanism is the live one. That was the argument for retiring the user guide
rather than repairing it, and it applies to the whole set.
What made this safe is the concordance. Roughly 290 comments and docstrings cite
these files by section — `musicbay.md §6`, `mediacenter.md §5.5`, `draft-v6 §2.11`
— and section 16 maps every one onto its replacement, so not a single comment
needs editing to stay followable. It now says plainly that the files are gone and
where to recover them, and it gained rows for the three reviews (their findings
are section 13), and for the two guides.
Four kept documents pointed into the set and were repointed first: `playlists.md`
(nine references — it is a live proposal and must not dangle), `WINDOWS-PORT.md`,
and CLAUDE.md's example. No dangling reference remains outside section 16.
Two files were dropped from the list after checking what they hold. `HTTPS.md` is
an operational runbook — Caddy, certificate renewal, DNS, troubleshooting — and
MESHBAY_DESIGN.md deliberately covers no operations, so nothing would replace it;
the versioned Caddyfile is the config, not the procedure. `cast-smart-tv.md` is
the plan for the unbuilt DLNA phase of a feature whose first two phases ship, and
section 11.4 summarises it in four lines rather than carrying the SSDP/UPnP work.
There is no user guide now, and section 0.1 says so rather than leaving a reader
to discover it.
Suites green: 2258 passed, 4 skipped.

CLAUDE.md was half a second specification. It carried summaries of three
security reviews, the invite redesign, per-node identity, the desktop client, a
protocol-version history and a sixty-row module table — all of it now in
MESHBAY_DESIGN.md, and some of it wrong: an errata list asserted a keystore
parameter that had been raised months earlier, and the module table pointed at
two implementations that no longer exist.
An errata list beside a specification is a second specification, and the older
one wins by being read first. Those sections become a pointer table naming which
part of the design document answers which question.
What stays is what has no other home: the conventions, and the engineering
lessons — the ones that are not deducible from the design because they are what
the code and the platforms actually do. They keep every word.
The module table stays as locators, stripped of the design prose it duplicated,
with a note kept only where it is a rule about editing the code. Every path in
it was verified to exist; two were wrong, and the harness directory was wrong
throughout.
Two references to files outside the repository are gone from the reference
table — a document about this repository should not send a reader somewhere they
cannot follow. The rules about that directory stay, because they are rules about
what must never be committed.

Files, Videos, Music and Photos are read by scrolling, and everything that
steers that reading left with the first screenful. Three bands now pin under
the navigation bar, in a group and on the Search page alike: the tab bar (the
search field, on Search), the application's own toolbar, and the file table's
column heads. The group's name and description still scroll — they say nothing
a reader needs while walking a directory, and the height they would cost is
height the list does not get.
A band's offset is the heights of the bands above it, and those are not
constants: the toolbar wraps to three rows on a phone, grows a field while a
folder is being named, and loses its filter on Search. So each band measures
itself and publishes `--chrome-h` / `--toolbar-h` (static/sticky.js) and the
stylesheet does the arithmetic in calc(), rather than a number written down
twice — the fault CLAUDE.md already records against this layout twice over.
A band publishes height *plus its own bottom margin*, and paints that margin
as a ring of page colour, so the pinned layout is pixel-identical to the flow
layout and nothing shifts at the moment a band pins.
Three overflow faults came out of it, all of the same class and all of them
what "the header does not stay" actually meant on Android — a document wider
than the screen leaves everything pinned attached to a viewport the reader can
no longer see, the navigation bar included:
- a directory's name cell was a bare <td>, so an unbreakable folder name
(`Rage_Against_The_Machine_Discography_1992-2000_FLAC`) set the column's
minimum: a 527px table in a 390px window
- Search's group column did the same at 442px with an underscored group
name. It also goes entirely below 768px, where there is no room for it and
the breadcrumb already names the group
- the shared-directories table has four columns of controls with a combined
minimum near 440px, none of it compressible. On a phone the row stops
being a row: the name and its eject/remove pair on one line, the two
switches — each carrying the column head's own string as a label — on the
next
- and, found by measuring at 360px, the tab bar itself was 19px too wide
`.file-table` moves to separated borders: a collapsed border belongs to the
table rather than to the cell, so the column heads lost their rule the moment
they pinned.
Measured, not read. tests/harness/sticky_header_probe.py drives the shipped
GroupPage and SearchPage against a stub node, walks to each application,
scrolls to the end and reports every rectangle — 11 views x 4 widths x 2
engines. Its fixture says what real data says: the first version used
`note-007.txt` and `un groupe`, which fit any screen, and found none of the
above. A fixture narrower than real data tests the fixture.
Also: `test_desktop_shell` no longer looks for the CSP after the first `-->`,
which made it fail on correct markup as soon as a comment was added above it,
and `search-page.js` joins test_hook_ordering's file list.

The service worker one is the expensive one: an idle worker is terminated and a
streaming response does not count as activity, so `writable.write()` hung with
no error anywhere while the node stayed healthy. Written down with what made it
unfindable — a stress probe fast enough to hide it, three measurements that
correctly cleared everything they touched, and an empty console that was the
evidence rather than the absence of it.
The other two are the framing headers (three of them, all visible in one
`curl -I`, fixed one at a time over an afternoon) and `encodeURIComponent`
leaving the apostrophe that RFC 5987 uses as its delimiter.

Chat messages have been signed by the sending device since MNP 2.0, but a
reader had no way to know that the device belonged to the account the node
named: the signature proved *a device*, and `sender_id` was still the node's
word. This closes that for any account a client has already seen.
**What was blocking it was not effort — the evidence was not being kept.**
`_do_device_add` verified the countersignature that admits a second device and
stored only `added_by_pk`: *which* key approved, never the proof. And
`device_add_transcript` binds `nonce_node`, the approving connection's handshake
nonce, so even a stored signature was unverifiable by anyone who had not been on
that connection. `identities` gains `add_sig`, `add_nonce` and `add_ts`, added
before the migration's early return — which fires on every roster widened since
2026-08-18, i.e. all of them, so putting them inside it would have meant they
never arrived.
`group_roster_req`/`resp` relays, sealed under a new groupbox purpose and
answered to **any member of the group**, every live device of every active
member with the evidence that admitted it. The node decides nothing: it hands
over evidence and the client walks the chain from each account's root outwards
(`_verifyRoster`). That is deliberate — the node is the party the property holds
against, so it is not asked to assert trust.
Two holes the tests caught while this was being built:
- "no signature" was being treated as a trust root, so a node that writes the
roster could put any key in an account's row and have it laundered straight
into the verified set. A root is a device that names **no** countersigner.
- pinning only the verified subset at first sight raised "key changed" on
legitimate second devices whose countersignature predates this change. First
sight pins everything the node says, because that is what trust-on-first-use
means and an alarm that fires on normal events stops being read.
The property, and it must not be rounded up: **once a client has seen an
account, a node that later substitutes a key for it is detected. Nothing is
gained at first sight**, where there is nothing to compare against — the same
boundary `per-node-identity-v1.md` draws, unmoved.
The cost, stated because it is real: the roster is member-visible, so every
member learns how many devices the others hold and their public keys. It stays
inside the group, the hub is not involved, and it is scoped per group. A member
who cannot see the keys cannot check them.
User-visible surface: one notice, "this account is using a key you have not seen
before", in ten languages. Nothing else.
16 tests — 7 on the node (the evidence is stored, it verifies from the roster
alone, a fabricated device carries none, another group's members are not
disclosed), 9 running the shipped `_verifyRoster` under node against rosters
built by the shipped Python: a chain of three in any order, a signature by the
wrong key, one for another node, one for another account, and two fabricated
devices signing each other admitting nothing.
Tier 3 (operator-signed roster attestation) stays deferred, with nothing
depending on it.

Both sides landed a breaking MNP change and both called it 2.0, which is right:
the sealed upload, the removal of `stream_seg` and mandatory chat encryption
share one flag day. They are recorded as one version in `__init__.py` rather
than as a race between two.
The resolutions that were decisions rather than mechanics:
* **`MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED` moves to "2.0".** The sealed upload alone was a
*confined* break — a 1.x peer could still connect, browse, download, stream
and chat, with only its uploads refused by `upload_not_sealed` — so the floor
deliberately stayed at "1.0". Mandatory chat encryption ends that
confinement: a 1.x peer can neither produce a sealed chat message nor read
one, so it would connect, look fine, and be unable to say anything. Refusing
it at the handshake is the honest form. The per-message `upload_not_sealed`
path is untouched and still right if the floor is ever lowered.
* **`sendChat` throws on an `error` reply**, from origin, applied to the sealed
send. It matters more after this change, not less: the node now refuses a
stale epoch, a malformed envelope and a device claim that is not the
connection's own, so there are three new ways for a message to be rejected
and none of them may look like a message that was sent.
* **`req_id` supersedes the per-type routing** this branch added for
`chat_keys_resp` and `device_hello_ack`. Both blocks are kept beside the
existing `chat_hist_resp` one, for the same stated reason — a node too old to
stamp — and their comments no longer claim to be the mechanism that closes
the class. `req_id` is.
* **`chat_send_probe.py` is rebuilt on origin's structure**, not beside it: two
scenarios, a stub that stamps `req_id`, `music_meta_req` as the older pending
request. The encrypted path is layered on — a real Ed25519 device key
generated in the page, and a `chat_keys_resp` sealed by the shipped Python,
because a payload the page built itself would prove only that the page agrees
with the page.
* **`test_reply_correlation.py` now sends a sealed message.** Its subject is
which of the two messages leaving that handler carries the id; plaintext chat
was only the fixture, and the node refuses one now.
* `groupbox` keeps both new purposes (`upload`, `chat_keys`); `protocol.py`
keeps origin's removal of `STREAM_SEGMENT` and this branch's correction of
the "Double Ratchet message" comment on `CHAT_MESSAGE`, which was wrong when
it was written and is wrong differently now.
Full suite on the merged tree: 1993 passed, 11 failed — the same 11 that fail
on a pristine checkout (2 Windows service tests, 1 apps-enabled policy, 7
transcode tests that pass in isolation, and the WebRTC invite test that hangs
on its own).

MNP carried no correlation id. A reply named its own type and nothing
else, so a client with more than one request in flight worked out which
one a message answered from the message itself — and for the replies
that name nothing it could not. `_dispatch` fell through to matching by
arrival order, which is a guess. `_sendAndWait` had the right value all
along: it keys `_pending` by `this._seqId++` and never put it on the
wire.
The guess fails asymmetrically, which is why it hid. The victim is not
the request that was answered wrongly — it is the unrelated one that now
waits out its own 30s timeout for a reply already delivered elsewhere.
Live on 2026-09-06: five `music_meta_req` sat pending for over 100
seconds behind a failing MusicBrainz, and a `device_list_result` was
handed to one of them. The composer is disabled while a send is in
flight, so a chat message whose reply went astray the same way left the
Chat tab looking frozen for thirty seconds, then unfroze on its own.
The `ack` half of this was fixed on 2026-08-30 by matching on request
type. That closed the instance and left the class open: a refusal has no
type to match on either, and `_dispatch_message`'s catch-all answers
every unforeseen failure with `{"type": "error", "detail": "Request
failed"}` — 238 of this module's 240 error sends name nothing at all.
`req_id` now rides on the request and comes back on the reply. On the
node it is published for the whole handler in a ContextVar and stamped
by `_send`: a parameter would have meant threading an argument through
all 240 send sites, and asyncio copies the context into a task, so a
handler that `_spawn`s its real work still answers under the right id.
It is never stamped on a broadcast — those answer nothing, and the
owner check in `_send` is what keeps a chat broadcast or an index push
from reaching another peer looking like a reply.
On the client, `_dispatch` resolves on `req_id` first and the
arrival-order fallback is gone the moment a node proves it stamps
(`_correlates`, armed by the handshake's own reply). The fallback stays
for an MNP 1.0 node, unchanged and no wider: there it is the only thing
there is, and removing it would leave device_list_result, join_result
and the handshake replies reaching nobody.
Two things fall out. `sendChat` refuses an `error` reply like every
other request in the file — it returned it as success, which did not
matter while a refusal reached the wrong caller anyway and would now
show a rejected message as sent. And `_group_ctx` uses `.get`: a reload
pops a removed group while sessions connected to it are open, and every
request they had left raised KeyError into that same catch-all.
Sealed index messages are the one exception to the fast path. They
cannot be handed over until they are opened, which is asynchronous while
`_dispatch` is not — resolving on the id alone gave `fetchIndex` the
envelope and skipped `onIndexSync` entirely. Caught by extending
`index_seal_probe.mjs` to stamp a reply the way a current node does,
after the hub suite passed over it: the probe built its own frames and
had never seen one.
Tests, all failing before and passing after: `test_chat_send.py` drives
the real ChatPanel over the real transport for both shapes of reply with
an older request pending (3 of its 6 are new, and the 3 for `ack` pass
either way, so it discriminates); `test_reply_correlation.py` pins the
node's half — the refusals that name nothing else, the broadcast that
must not be stamped, and a late reply from a spawned task answering
under its own id rather than the most recent request's.
Full suite: 1897 passed, same 11 pre-existing failures as before.
QUIC keeps its own dispatch and is not stamped. It is disabled by
default and no browser request reaches it, but the asymmetry is real.

Chat messages are sealed with AES-256-GCM under a key derived per group, per
epoch, per *device*, and signed over the ciphertext with the device key the
node pinned. The node relays and archives; it cannot read a message.
There is no switch. MNP goes to 2.0 and MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED moves with it, so a
1.x peer is refused at the handshake with `version_too_old` rather than
admitted and then unable to speak. An opt-in flag was designed and rejected:
every node is a test node, so it would have bought nothing and left a plaintext
branch reachable — C6's lesson one feature later. A test reads the source and
refuses any code that consults a `chat_encrypted` setting.
Not Sender Keys, and `senderkeys.py` is now documented as unused. With
distribution under the group key and a node that serves history to devices
which were not present, the node must retain each chain's earliest key, and a
chain key at iteration i yields every message key from i on by pure HKDF —
forward secrecy is zero either way. What the ratchet was left buying was
stateful client code with silent failure modes, three of them reproduced: any
member could sign as any other, a second device dropped the first's chain, and
the skipped-key cache grew without bound. The reasoning is in
docs/chat-sender-keys.md, which is the specification and the decision record.
Epochs, not rotation: the epoch key is wrapped under the group key at delivery
and never stored under it, so `gek_rotate` is a re-wrap. A group-key-derived
archive key would have made every message ever sent unreadable on the first
`member unpin`, which is the documented step after removing a member. A new
epoch opens on member revoke/unpin, device revoke and `gek_rotate`; old epochs
are kept and still delivered, so history stays readable to everyone who could
already read it, and nothing anywhere deletes one.
Three prerequisites this needed, each a live defect on its own:
* The peer registry was keyed by user_id, so one account's second device
evicted the first and the broadcast skipped recipients by account — a
person's phone never saw what they typed on their laptop.
* The handshake authenticated an account, never a device. `device_hello`
(additive, signed, refused unless the key is a live device of this account in
the node's own roster) is what lets the node refuse a member claiming
somebody else's key.
* `_admin_exec_file_delete` authorized against the exact uploading key, so
device linking had already broken deleting your own file from your other
device. It now authorizes against any non-revoked device of `uploader_id`.
Found by driving the real panel over the real transport, not by reading source:
`chat_keys_resp` was routed by arrival order and handed to an unanswered
`media_meta_req` — the original frozen-tab defect in a message type that did
not exist when that probe was written. And `_asText` had been deleted with an
unrelated helper beside it; its only caller sits inside a promise the panel
catches, so every conversation rendered empty with nothing in the console.
Existing node data is migrated by QE/migration/migrate_chat_encryption.py
(not versioned, per the QE rule), run with the node stopped.

`index_sync`, `index_delta` and the `handshake_ack` config payload now travel
sealed under a GEK-derived subkey (`meshbay_common/groupbox.py`, mirrored by
`sealGroup`/`openGroup` in `crypto.js`). Only `type`, `v`, `group_id` and the
ack's `node_pk`/`proof`/`sig` stay in clear — a receiver must route and
authenticate before it would trust a decryption. Verify, then decrypt.
The ack line is integrity, not confidentiality: the signed handshake transcript
names no ack field, so `is_node_admin`, `enabled_apps`, `video_root` and the
rest were authenticated by the DTLS channel alone. The index line is defence in
depth against a repeat of C1/C6 — a peer served before the handshake completes
now gets ciphertext, not filenames. Nothing against an observer, the hub, or a
member; that is the whole claim. `index_progress` stays clear (D3, counters
only). Chat is out of scope.
Failure is fatal: a payload that does not open ends the session naming the
message type — never an empty index or an empty `enabled_apps`, both of which
are legitimate states.
Version negotiation ships here too (phase 15.6, brought forward): `v` + `v_min`
on `handshake` and `handshake_challenge`, refused with `version_too_old` /
`version_too_new` / `version_unreadable`. The flag day was already being paid
for; the next breaking change now costs a refusal message.
BREAKING CHANGE: breaks the WebRTC wire every deployed client speaks. Hub and
every node must deploy together; the SPA is served by the hub, so a browser
picks up the new client on reload. See MESHBAY_NODE_PROTOCOL.md §11.1a, §13.1.

Add docs/WINDOWS-PORT.md with the full portability audit (what is
already portable, what blocks, implementation plan W1-W7).
Reverse structural decision 20: sender keys are distributed
GEK-wrapped, not pairwise to identity keys. The GEK is the group
secret; files and chat share the same access boundary. Per-device
chains (15.0b) remain required for correctness.

Typing a message froze the Chat tab: the composer stopped taking clicks and
keystrokes, the message never appeared, and it was there all along on the next
visit to the tab.
The node answers a chat message with a bare {"type": "ack"} -- no request id,
no type of its own -- so _dispatch had nothing to match it on and left it to
the arrival-order guess at the end of the function. That guess is wrong the
moment anything else this browser asked for is still waiting: the ack went to
*that* request, and the chat send waited out _sendAndWait's own 30s timeout.
Since the composer is disabled while a send is in flight, that reads as a
frozen tab; the node had stored the message and answered, into somebody else's
promise.
An outstanding request is the ordinary case, not a rare one. The node refuses
an unknown file_id with a bare `error`, which names no request either and so
reaches none, leaving the Videos tab's media_meta_req in _pending for the full
30s. That is the one that was live when this was found.
- `ack` is now matched by request type: chat_msg, or the keypair-bundle store
and delete, which name themselves in `detail`. A node naming neither still
has its reply placed rather than dropped.
Every line of chat-app.js is correct and every routed message in transport.js
is routed correctly -- the defect is in the seam, so tests/harness/
chat_send_probe.py drives the two together: the real ChatPanel over the real
MeshBayTransport, with only the DataChannel replaced by a stand-in answering
what the node answers. test_chat_send.py asserts against it, and with the fix
reverted all three of its tests fail on the three visible halves of the defect
-- the composer still disabled, the message absent, and the ack resolving the
unrelated request.

A group could open on a tab that rendered nothing: no panel, no tab shown
active, and nothing on screen to explain it.
The landing tab is chosen at mount from a preference -- default_tab for the
group, else the account-wide one, else 'chat'. Which applications the group
runs comes from the node, in the handshake ack, several awaits later. A
preference is a preference, not a promise that the app exists here, so the
two disagree in two ordinary cases: the group has Chat disabled while
'chat' is everyone's default, or the reader prefers an app this group does
not run. `apps.map(a => tab === a.key && ...)` then matches nothing.
The first app the group does offer answers both. Two more cases come free:
a preference naming an app that no longer exists, and an operator disabling
the app someone is currently looking at -- enabledApps changes live over
apps_enabled, and being moved to a working tab beats staring at an empty
panel. Settings is exempt: it is not an application, and the create-group
wizard lands on it deliberately.
`const apps` moves above the effect that reads it; a const further down
would be in its temporal dead zone, which is the hook-ordering trap already
recorded in CLAUDE.md.
tests/harness/group_tab_probe.py renders the real GroupPage against a stub
node answering a chosen enabled_apps and reads the tab bar back, over five
cases. With the fix reverted the three fallback cases report no active tab
at all and four of the six tests fail; the two that pass either way are the
ones that must not change -- a group running everything, and a preference
the group does honour (Videos stays selected, so the fallback has not
become "always the first app").

The chat could not be read back: any wheel gesture was undone in the frame
it happened in, and the "jump to latest" button never appeared.
None of the pins in ChatPanel are at fault -- every one of them is guarded
by "only if the reader is at the bottom". The reader never got to stop
being at the bottom.
fit() set the panel's height, read documentElement.scrollHeight back and
subtracted the overflow, so the document alternately did and did not
overflow the window. The page scrollbar appeared and vanished with it and
visualViewport fired resize at every pass -- the event fit() is bound to.
It therefore re-entered itself for the life of the panel: measured at 240
firings in two seconds on a page nobody was touching, against 2 for a bare
document. Each pass ran fitAndPin, which re-pinned the list to the bottom
before the scroll event that would have recorded the gesture was delivered
a frame later, so atBottomRef never went false.
- fit() learns the space below the panel once and remembers it on the
element instead of re-deriving it by writing and measuring back. At the
steady state it writes nothing, so it produces no resize. A real window
resize or an orientation change forgets the learnt value and measures
again (the page under the panel may have reflowed); visualViewport
deliberately does not, since a phone fires it constantly.
- The scroll-to-bottom is now scoped to *arrival*, which is all it was ever
for: opening the group, or coming back to the Chat tab, including the
thumbnails and link-preview cards that keep growing the list for a second
afterwards. It ends when the reader takes hold of the scroll, and the
ResizeObserver disconnects there.
- That release is recorded from the gesture (wheel/touchmove/pointerdown/
keydown), not from the scroll event, which arrives too late to protect
anything.
Unchanged: landing on the newest message, following new messages while
already at the bottom, the "load older" anchor and the unread marker.
tests/harness/chat_scroll_probe.py mounts the real ChatPanel in a browser
and reads a conversation back; test_chat_scroll_up.py asserts against it.
With the fix reverted, five of its six tests fail and the sixth -- landing
on the newest message -- still passes, which is the property that must not
have been traded away. A structural test cannot see any of this, which is
why it is measured.
test_layout_responsive.py pinned the listener's name and follows the
rename.

Move the remaining root-level .md files (except CLAUDE.md) into docs/:
devel-phases.md, devel-phases-next.md, first-review.md, second-review.md,
tmp-decisions.md. Update all inbound references in CLAUDE.md (now docs/-prefixed)
and strip the now-redundant docs/ prefix from links inside the moved files.
Consolidate the superseded material into docs/old-draft.md: architecture
drafts v1-v4, POC v1, and the Phase 1-12 development log, each under an
ARCHIVED banner with a preamble pointing at the current specs. Delete the
merged originals plus the unreferenced French translations (v1-fr, v2-fr,
poc-v1-fr). Repoint the surviving file-links in first-review.md,
second-review.md and meshbay-draft-v5.md at old-draft.md; prose "draft-v3 §x"
mentions are left as-is since the content now lives in the archive.

Remove the node daemon's server-rendered admin UI (GET / and /audit, the
_render_* helpers and inline templates) and the `meshbay-node ui` CLI verb.
The loopback control API stays; it is now JSON only, ruff-clean, and 453
lines (was 1074). Also drop three never-wired endpoints (/api/config,
/api/chat/history, /ws/chat, plus broadcast_chat) and the pointless
18000/tcp firewall profiles.
The desktop client's Node page (static/node-page.js) takes over what the
dashboard showed, reorganised into six tabs (Overview, Groups, Roster,
Peers, Audit, Settings):
- Overview: version, node id, QUIC port, hub, index-cache maintenance
- Roster: node-wide view with unpin
- Peers and Audit: auto-load on open, no Load button
- Audit: real usernames and group names (resolved from the roster and
node.toml), Previous/Next pagination newest-first, Export CSV of every
matching row
- Settings: node settings, STUN, ICE, denylist, then Unlink from hub
Backend: audit.get_entries gains `offset`; /api/audit and /api/peers
resolve ids to names via a new _display_names helper; CSP tightened to
default-src 'none' now that no HTML is served. draft-v6 sections 2.11 and
2.12 corrected -- the Node page uses the loopback API, not MNP.
One capability is intentionally dropped: browser-based admin on a headless
server. The CLI covers every operation there.

Real franchise / show / release-group names had crept back into test
fixtures, code comments, a docstring and docs/mediacenter.md while fixing
the saga-match and misclassification bugs. Replace them all with invented
placeholders ("Some Saga", "A Different Show") and shape descriptions
("a franchise-origin film", "a 3-season show"). Behaviour and assertions
unchanged; 738 node tests still pass.
Record the rule in CLAUDE.md so it stops recurring.

A new group application (docs/apps.md's plug-in mechanism), following the
plan in docs/photos.md. Unlike Videos/Music: several photo roots per group
instead of one (photo_roots is a set, one signed op replaces it whole),
a single album-grid view with no third-party matching step, and per-photo
info read from the file's own EXIF at index time — no metadata service,
no credential, no outbound network call at all.
Protocol (meshbay-common, MNP 0.10 -> 0.11, additive): `taken_at`/`camera`
on IndexEntry; `photo_roots`/`photo_roots_ack`; `OP_PHOTO_ROOTS`.
Node: roster.py stores photo_roots as a group_settings entry (JSON list,
same shape as enabled_apps); ops.py/webrtc_server.py validate and sign the
whole set in one op, same pattern as apps_enabled; a new PhotoEnricher
(indexer/enrich_photo.py) runs Pillow in its own small bounded pool,
separate from the video/audio pools, producing a resized thumbnail plus
the two EXIF fields — never GPS, checked by a grep-based regression test.
Client: photos-app.js — one album card per directory containing images,
a per-album photo grid, and a lightbox with next/previous (keyboard and
buttons), zoom in/out/fit/100% starting from the actual on-screen fit
percentage, and a "zip this album" button reusing files-app.js's own zip
mechanism (lifted into file-utils.js's downloadDirectory so both call the
same implementation). group-settings.js gets an add/remove multi-root
picker, distinct from Videos/Music's single-value one.
Bugs found and fixed before this ever shipped, worth keeping the story of:
- enrich_photo.py read width/height from the raw image *before* applying
EXIF orientation correction, and read DateTimeOriginal off the plain
0th-IFD Exif object — a real camera stores it in the Exif sub-IFD, which
Pillow only exposes via get_ifd(Exif). A flat, hand-built EXIF dict
round-trips through Pillow either way, which is exactly what would have
hidden both bugs; the regression test builds EXIF with piexif instead,
matching what real hardware produces.
- photos-app.js's album grouping stripped a trailing path segment from
entry.path under the assumption it still carried a filename — it
doesn't (files-app.js's own convention: e.path is already the
containing directory), so every album collapsed one level into its
parent. Found live against a real multi-folder library.
- transport.js's ADMIN_OP_TYPES allowlist (already the fix for an
identical bug on video_root/apps_enabled, see 4783d81) was missing
photo_roots: its admin_challenge matched no pending request and was
silently dropped, so saving a photo root just timed out after 30s with
no error.
- daemon.py pruned a thumbnail when its file left the index (root removed
or reconfigured) but never forgot the content hash was "already
attempted" — the same bytes reappearing under a renamed/relocated root
(an operator's real workflow) were then permanently skipped, forever,
with nothing to indicate why. Discarding the attempt alongside the
cache entry on prune is what makes pruning actually reversible.
- packages/meshbay-client's app:// protocol handler served every file
with no Cache-Control header, so Chromium was free to serve a stale
cached copy indefinitely — none of several `npm run sync-ui` + reload
cycles during development actually picked up the new code until the
renderer's disk cache was cleared by hand. Now sends Cache-Control:
no-store.
- the lightbox's zoomed image used flex centering (align-items/
justify-content: center) combined with overflow: auto — a well-known
trap where the browser centers overflowing content by shifting it, and
the leading half of that overflow (here, the top of a zoomed photo)
sits outside what the scrollport can actually reach. Reported live as
"unusable". Fixed by switching to top/left alignment once zoomed.

Proposal only, not implemented. Same plug-in mechanism as Videos
(apps.md), but no new streaming path — a track is downloaded and
decrypted like any other file, not transcoded/remuxed like a film.
Metadata: local tags first (mutagen), MusicBrainz/Cover Art Archive
as node-side fallback enrichment, no API key needed (unlike TMDB) —
just a rate-limited, self-identifying client. Player state (queue,
shuffle, repeat) moves up into the group-page shell so playback
survives a tab switch, mirroring how the video/preview modal is
already shell-owned.

wizard polish
Two operator-facing fixes for a real 3-season show whose automatic TMDB
match was wrong at the show level: per-season overview/air_date tabs in the
detail modal (falling back to the show-level text when a season's own is
empty), and a "Fix match…" search-and-correct affordance that re-resolves
every file sharing the corrected show's display_title. New signed op
OP_TMDB_OVERRIDE and two read-only pairs (season_meta_req/resp,
tmdb_search_req/resp), MNP_VERSION 0.5 -> 0.6.
Also: the create-group wizard gets a spinning indexing indicator and an
app-selection step, group settings default the TMDB language to the
operator's own locale (never as a global default), and a file renamed
mid-session now re-triggers title parsing instead of being silently
skipped by the enrichment dedup guard.
Fixes two bugs found during this work: the search overlay's z-index lost
to the base video-overlay class and rendered invisibly, and season_meta's
own empty overview didn't fall back to the show-level one.

GroupPage's 6620-line app.js carried Chat and Files wedged in directly, with
no way to add another group-level app without touching the shell itself. It
is now app.js (routing, non-group pages) plus nine focused files — apps.js
(the registry), chat-app.js, files-app.js, video-player.js, group-page.js
(the shell), group-settings.js, hub-client.js, icon.js and file-utils.js —
with docs/apps.md as the checklist for adding one (Videos/Music/Photos are
sketched there, not built).
Node side gained the matching enablement mechanism, mirroring
member_upload exactly: a roster setting, a signed apps_enabled op enforced
by _has_admin_authority, exposed in the handshake ack. Operators toggle
applications per group from Settings, which also gained a small reorder:
Invite, Pairing, Applications, Shared directories, Uploads, danger zone,
Your devices, Members.
Two bugs surfaced during the split, both missing an import across the new
file boundary and invisible to node --check or a module-load probe since
they only throw when the code path actually runs:
- group-page.js called onRefreshAuth on a stale-token handshake rejection,
but app.js never imported refreshAccessToken from hub-client.js — so a
brand new member (including a group's own creator) hit "Not a member of
this group" and the retry silently failed, throwing before it could
refresh the token.
- chat-app.js called getLocale() for message timestamps without importing
it from i18n.js. Opening Chat on a group with real messages threw mid-
render; uncaught, that appears to wedge Preact's render scheduler, so
every button on the page stopped responding until reload.
Caught the second class of bug with a proper no-undef audit across all
split files (a temporarily installed ESLint 9, since the system one is too
old to parse this codebase's syntax) rather than trusting grep. 827 tests
pass; 6 new ones cover the apps_enabled policy.

A group where every member may add files stays the default. Some groups want a
library the operator curates, and until now the only way to get one was to
designate no upload root at all — which refuses the operator too.
**The node enforces it; the interface merely stops offering it.** The Upload
button in the Files toolbar and the paperclip in the chat composer both
disappear, which is a courtesy to the people who are not trying. The control is
`_do_file_upload` refusing with `member_upload_off`, so a member on an old tab,
or one speaking MNP directly, gets the same answer. There is a test for each,
and the enforcement test is in the node package rather than beside the UI one so
nobody reads the hidden button as the mechanism.
**Changing it is a signed operator instruction** — `OP_MEMBER_UPLOAD`, on the
same path as removing a member. An unsigned one would let any member turn it
back on and make the setting a suggestion. The transcript's subject is `on` or
`off`: what the operator is shown before signing has to name the outcome, not
the operation.
**It lives on the node**, in a new `group_settings` table in `roster.db`. Not
the hub, which has no business deciding who may write to someone else's disk.
Not `node.toml` either: that file is hand-written and full of comments recording
decisions, `ops.py` appends to it rather than round-tripping it through a
writer, and a setting toggled from a panel must not rewrite the operator's file
or need a restart. The value is cached in the group context because the upload
path is synchronous, and the signed operation updates both — storing it without
applying it would make the panel say one thing while the node did another.
**Absent means allowed**, at every layer: no row in the table, no key in the
context, no field in `handshake_ack`. An older node and an older client both
behave exactly as before, and upgrading never silently closes a group. Each of
those three has its own test, because they fail independently.
The operator is always exempt — otherwise turning it off locks them out of their
own node with a config file and a restart as the only way back. `is_node_admin`
was being computed in two places by then and is now one function, since two
copies of "is this the operator" is how the ack and the gate come to disagree.
A change reaches everyone already connected via `member_upload_ack`, so the
button goes without a reconnection. That message is both a broadcast and the
reply to the request that caused it, which is why the client does not return
early on it.
Docs updated for a cold start: draft-v6 §2.1b and change 9, a new "Where Phase
13 stands" section in CLAUDE.md recording what is built, deployed and still
missing, the module map row, and desktop-client-v1 §10b on the Settings tab and
where group settings live.
883 tests pass.

**The chat tab was 8px too tall, at every window size.** The panel is sized from
JS to `viewport - top - 16`, which puts its bottom 16px above the fold — but it
sits inside `.main`, which adds 24px of padding below it. Eight pixels of
document past the window, whatever the window. Measured at 700, 900 and 1200:
`scrollHeight` 708, 908, 1208.
This is the second one of these — the sign-in card was `.page-center` and
`.layout` each reserving `100vh - 52px` — so it is now measured in the suite
rather than reasoned about. `tests/harness/scroll_probe.py` renders the real
markup against the real stylesheet and **runs the real `fit()` lifted out of
`app.js`**: a copy of the formula in a test would go on passing after the
original changed, which is exactly the bug being guarded.
The fix does not encode 24 anywhere. The first pass runs as before, then the
leftover is measured and taken off, so anything added below the panel later is
absorbed the same way. Now `scrollHeight == innerHeight` at all three heights,
nothing below the fold, and the panel still fills the room it has — that last
one has its own test, because shrinking the chat to 240px would satisfy every
other assertion here and be useless.
The Settings tab was measured too and is **not** a bug: it fits at 1200px and
overflows only when its content is genuinely taller than the window.
**Group creation asked one question twice.** Visibility and admission were
separate selectors that could only ever be set together — picking Public reached
over and set the policy — and two of the four combinations are meaningless. The
API already refused public+invite with a 422, so the form could build a request
that could not succeed. Private+open was accepted and should not have been: a
group anyone may join that nobody can find is a listing with the listing
removed, since joining goes through the node and there is no link to pass
around.
So: one selector, "who can join", and the request derives the rest. The API now
refuses the other impossible pair as well, with a message that says which way to
resolve it. Six locale strings the visibility box owned are deleted rather than
left unread in ten files, and the two surviving descriptions now say what each
choice means for who can *find* the group — with the word "public" gone from the
page, nothing else would have said it, and someone would publish a group without
meaning to.
865 tests pass.

**Full-screen was denied, and the denial was invisible.** The permission
handler was written from a true sentence — nothing here needs a camera, a
microphone or a location — and implemented as `callback(false)` for everything.
Chromium's own video controls ask for the `fullscreen` permission, so a film
could not be watched full-screen.
What made it hard to find, and what the test now pins: **a denied `fullscreen`
does not reject.** `requestFullscreen()` returns a promise that never settles.
No exception, no console message, nothing in the renderer that mentions a
permission — the button just does nothing. Measured rather than reasoned: the
probe reported `NEVER SETTLED` while the main process, instrumented for one run,
logged `PERMISSION ASKED: fullscreen`. After the fix the same probe reports
`granted` with `document.fullscreenElement` set.
The handler now enumerates what is *granted* — `fullscreen`, and nothing else —
so a camera, a microphone, a location, notifications and MIDI are still refused
and whatever Chromium adds next arrives refused rather than quietly allowed.
`Permissions.query` takes the other handler, so both now answer from the one
list instead of eventually disagreeing.
The old test asserted `callback(false)`, which is to say it locked in the bug.
It is replaced by three: what must stay denied, that `fullscreen` is granted,
and that both handlers read the same list.
**"Save automatically" opened a dialog.** The automatic path required a folder
to have been chosen first, and on a new profile nobody has chosen one — so the
very first download fell through to Save As, which is the one thing the setting
promises not to do. A browser does not make you pick a folder before it will
save a file; the system Downloads folder is the answer when there is no other.
Verified on a fresh profile with a home of its own: no dialog, 1024 bytes on
disk, destination reported as the default (`/home/…/Téléchargements` on this
machine, via the localized XDG directory).
A folder that *was* chosen and has since gone still asks. Silently redirecting
those files is worse than a dialog: someone who picked an external drive wants
to be told it is not there, not to find the film in their home directory a week
later. Settings shows the effective destination either way, and offers "forget"
only for a folder somebody actually chose.
813 tests pass.

**Downloads were going through RAM.** `_openDownloadTarget` tries a granted
folder, then a service worker, then its floor: collect the whole file in the
page and hand the browser a blob. Both of the first two are absent in the
desktop application — `showDirectoryPicker` does not exist, and Chromium refuses
a service worker on a custom scheme — so every download under 512 MB took the
floor. A gigabyte of film meant a gigabyte of RAM, and the only visible symptom
was a Save As dialog at the *end* rather than the start, which is what the
operator noticed and asked about.
The main process now streams to disk: it honours "save automatically" with a
folder chosen once and no dialog, never overwrites (a colliding name gets a
suffix), awaits each write so the renderer cannot outrun the disk and queue the
file in memory anyway, and unlinks a cancelled download rather than leaving a
truncated file that looks complete to whoever opens it next. Settings now offers
the native folder picker instead of saying downloads are unsupported.
Measured in the running application: the file on disk grows 256 KB → 512 KB →
768 KB → 1 MB as the chunks arrive, and an aborted download leaves nothing
behind.
**A permanent scrollbar on sign-in.** `.layout` and `.page-center` each reserved
`100vh - 52px`, and `.page-center` sits inside `main`'s 24px vertical padding —
so the page overflowed by exactly 48px at every window size. Found by measuring
in the app rather than reading the stylesheet: `scrollHeight` 819 against a 771
viewport, then the bottom edge of every element. The centring page brings its
own padding, so main's is dropped for it and the duplicated arithmetic goes
rather than growing a third term. Now `scrollHeight == innerHeight`, no
overflowing elements.
**The first-run screen was unstyled.** It used a class name I invented
(`auth-page`) that appears nowhere in the stylesheet, so it had no card and the
button sat against the input. It now uses the same `page-center` + `login-card`
markup as sign-in, which is where the 12px gap comes from. The sign-in link in
the nav is hidden until a hub is chosen — it led to a page that could not work.
809 tests pass.

All three came from the operator running the application on Ubuntu GNOME. None
would have been found by anything already in the suite.
**A second copy of the hub address.** `keyderive.js` carried
`const HUB = '' // same origin` — true of a page the hub served, false of one
loaded from a package, where the origin is `app://meshbay` and `/v1/users/register`
resolves against the application's own protocol handler. **Sign-up and sign-in,
the first two things anybody does, failed with "Not found."** The seam was
changed in `app.js` and in the signalling call and this was missed: the same
shape as the duplicate `MNP_VERSION` in `protocol.py`, a second copy of a
constant that is harmless until the context changes. `test_hub_address_seam.py`
refuses any file that decides where the hub is, and any `fetch('/v1/…')`
relative to the page origin.
**A window handler reading a variable another path reassigns.** Changing the hub
closes one window and opens another; `closed` arrives *after* the replacement is
assigned, so the outgoing window nulled the reference to the incoming one and
its `ready-to-show` crashed on it — a modal "A JavaScript error occurred in the
main process". Every handler now belongs to the window it was created with. The
CDP test wrote `config.json` in advance, so it never took the one path that
creates a second window; it does now, starting from an empty user-data dir.
**A first run that could not be undone.** The hub address was accepted on
anything URL-shaped and there was no way to change it afterwards — the prompt
only appears when none is set, so a typo meant editing JSON by hand. `https`
typed at a hub speaking `http` produced `TypeError: fetch failed`, which names
nothing. Now: the address is probed before being written, failures say which
URL and why ("does not speak https. If this hub is on your own machine, it is
probably http"), Settings can change it, and Electron's
"Error invoking remote method" wrapper is stripped from what a person reads.
Verified on the operator's desktop: **safeStorage really uses the GNOME
keyring** — Settings reports `gnome-libsecret`, and `secrets.bin` is written
0600 with Chromium's `v11` prefix, the marker for keyring-backed encryption
(the fixed-key fallback writes `v10`). Headless, the same code reports
`unavailable` and refuses to store rather than downgrading in silence, which is
now explained in Settings instead of shown as a bare word.
Unrelated but found while testing: `test_locales.py` assigned to
`globalThis.navigator`, which is read-only from Node 22. The client's build
already requires Node 22+, so the first CI machine configured for it would have
failed these tests for no visible reason. 809 tests pass on Node 18 and Node 24.

D4. The passphrase stays the account's credential and its only recovery path;
what changes is that it is not asked for on every launch.
**The renderer never holds the device key.** It is generated, stored and used
entirely in the main process, which signs `meshbay:user_auth:<username>:<ts>` on
request. Same rule as the save dialog, for the same reason: the renderer is the
part of this application that parses decrypted content from nodes, which is
attacker-controlled input. And this key is *not* a per-node identity key — those
are generated per node and never leave that relationship, so nothing here
correlates a person across operators.
First run asks which hub, with no default. A client that picks its own hub is a
client that can be pointed at one, and the address is the whole of what this
application trusts a hub for — the interface comes from the package.
Verified against a hub running this code, not against the deployed one:
register 201 → passphrase login 200 → device register 201 → **device sign-in 200
with a real session** → `/v1/users/me` 200 → a stranger's key 401. The
signature was also checked directly against the hub's own Python verifier before
any of that.
Inside the running application, over the debugging protocol: the bridge reaches
the main process, the renderer calls the hub **through it** (200 — the CORS fix
working end to end), and a call to a host that is not the configured hub is
refused.
**Not verified:** safeStorage persisting the key. This session has no secret
service, and standing one up in xvfb did not succeed. The application behaves
correctly there — it *refuses* rather than storing unprotected, and now says so
in Settings, which is a real case rather than a hypothetical one since it is
exactly what a headless or minimal desktop looks like.
Worth remembering for next time: meshbay.org runs whatever was last deployed. It
answered 405 on the Stage-C endpoints and reported MNP 0.2 while the tree had
0.3, so a local `uvicorn meshbay_hub.app:create_app --factory` on SQLite is what
tests hub changes. Nothing was deployed to production for this.
799 tests pass; e2e.py passes end to end.

Electron 42 / Chromium 148, launched under xvfb. The packaged interface mounts
over `app://` with a secure context, `crypto.subtle` present, Argon2 WASM
loaded, and no console errors. Three statements in the design were wrong, and
only launching it found them.
**A CSP in a `<meta>` tag silently drops `frame-ancestors`.** Chromium says so
in the console. A policy carrying a directive that does nothing is worse than
one without it, so the policy is sent as a header by the protocol handler —
which is also the only thing serving the interface, so one source instead of
two.
**`secure: true` is not what makes the service worker register.** Chromium
refuses a worker on a custom scheme whatever its privileges: "The URL protocol
of the current origin ('app://meshbay') is not supported". The application has
no service worker and needs none — it saves through a native dialog, which is
the better of the two paths. `sw.js` stays in the package because the same files
serve the browser, where it is one of only three ways to write a large file.
What `secure: true` is actually for was measured at the same time: without it
**the whole of `crypto.subtle` is undefined**. The first probe loaded a `data:`
URL and every algorithm failed with TypeError, AES-GCM included — which is why
the probe was rewritten before believing its answer. X25519 and Ed25519 are both
present on Chromium 148, settling the version floor left open as O6.
**The renderer cannot call the hub.** Its origin is `app://meshbay` and CORS
refuses it. The hub has *no CORS middleware at all* — its API is reachable from
no web origin whatever — and that is worth keeping. Widening it for
`app://meshbay` would be worse than it looks: that origin is not a credential,
since any Electron application can claim the same scheme and host name.
So every hub call leaves from the main process, exactly as saving a file does,
and it refuses any origin that is not the hub the user signed in to.
`platform.apiFetch()` is `fetch` in a browser and the bridge in the application,
so no caller has to know which it got. `transport.js` reaches it through a
global because it is a classic script, not a module — the alternative was a
second fetch path, which is how two callers of one hub start disagreeing about
how to reach it.
Verified from inside Electron: the main process gets 200 from
/v1/hub/version, the renderer is refused by CORS, and **a script served by the
hub is refused by the policy** — T3's mitigation demonstrated rather than
asserted.
Build note, written into the README because it will bite the next person:
**Ubuntu 24.04's nodejs 18 cannot install Electron at all** — the download
script `require()`s an ESM module, which Node gained in 22. Node 24 LTS,
checksum-verified against nodejs.org, is what this was built with.
package-lock.json is committed; builds use `npm ci`, not `npm install`.
799 tests pass, e2e.py still passes end to end. The session harness needed a
platform stub: it lifts `hubFetch` out of app.js as text and runs it, so the
adapter is now part of the environment it models.

Stage D, and the honest half of it.
D1 — the seam (done, and verified)
----------------------------------
`static/platform.js`. `HUB` becomes `platform.hubBase()` and the transport is
built with the same base, so one address has one source. In a browser it returns
'' and every path stays relative to the origin that served the page — the
acceptance criterion for this split was "the browser SPA behaves identically",
and it does. `platform.js` joins `_ASSETS`, or a change to it would not move the
content hash and a cached browser would never ask for it.
D2 — the shell (written, never launched)
-----------------------------------------
**There is no npm on this machine. Electron was never installed and
`packages/meshbay-client/` has not been run once.** That is stated here rather
than discovered later.
What is there: a main process serving the packaged interface over a privileged
`app://` scheme (`secure` and `standard` are not cosmetic — without them the
service worker refuses to register and streamed downloads break silently), a
preload exposing an enumerated bridge that never passes a filesystem path, a
window with `sandbox`, `contextIsolation` and no node integration, navigation
away from the package refused, and a CSP where the hub is reachable over
connect-src and is not a script source. The hub address arrives as a process
argument because `platform.hubBase()` runs before anything can await.
`test_desktop_shell.py` pins each of those by reading the source — the treatment
`test_downloads.py` already gives the three browser save paths. It catches a
property being removed and proves nothing about the application running. Two
were checked by breaking them.
The interface is *copied* into the package by `build/sync-ui.js` from the hub's
static directory, and `ui/` is gitignored: a silent fork is the only real way to
end up maintaining the interface twice.
D3 — partial
------------
The bridge, and the part worth having now: safeStorage's backend is reported
rather than assumed. On Linux it falls back to a fixed key when no keyring is
running, silently — someone who believes the OS is holding their keys is told
when it is not. The native key lifecycle belongs with D4 and needs a running
application to mean anything.
D8 — partial, and a real defect found
--------------------------------------
`meshbay-node.spec` installed the SYSTEM template — the one carrying `User=%i` —
into `%{_userunitdir}`. A user unit already runs as its owner and cannot carry
`User=`; systemd refuses the file, so the packaged unit could never have
started. Nothing noticed because nobody had built and installed the RPM.
Two units now: the template to `%{_unitdir}`, and a new `meshbay-node-user.service`
that a person enables themselves without a password — which is what lets the
desktop client install a node without asking for one. It carries ExecReload, so
`meshbay-node reload` does not have to stop a service somebody is streaming from,
and documents the drop-in for a drive outside the home, RequiresMountsFor
included.
798 tests pass; e2e.py still passes end to end. Nothing here was built or
launched: no npm, no rpmbuild.

Stage C. Identity keys are per node, so a browser and a desktop client are two
keys on one account there — and the node refused the second where it accepted
the first. Without this, an account created natively could never be opened in a
browser without an operator code per node, and "a native client must not prevent
web use" would have been dead on arrival.
Device linking (node)
---------------------
`identities` is keyed by `(user_id, pk_ed25519)` instead of `user_id` alone. The
old shape did `INSERT OR REPLACE`, so a second device overwrote the first
silently; SQLite cannot change a primary key in place, so the table is rebuilt.
Existing pins are carried over — verified against a live roster with 10 of them,
nobody re-pairs.
A new device files a request bound by `sha256(code ‖ its own keys)`, and a key
the node **already pinned** countersigns it. The hub cannot: it has stored no
user keys since 2026-08-14, which is what makes this safe to do without an
operator in the loop.
**The code never reaches the node.** It lists this account's pending requests
with their stored hashes; the approver recomputes and keeps the match. A node
offering fabricated keys would have to produce a hash over a code it has never
seen. Nothing rests on a human comparing digits — that ritual was dropped in
12.1 as "correct, unusable as the default" and must not return by the back door.
The design document had the approver look a request up *by* its hash, which is
circular: computing it needs the keys being asked about. Corrected in both.
Revocation marks rather than deletes, because a deleted row is a key the node
would happily pin again — which is the laptop somebody just reported lost. Your
last device cannot be revoked: coming back would need an operator's code.
Hub — the only change in the whole plan
---------------------------------------
`POST /v1/users/auth` signs in with a device Ed25519 key, on the same pattern as
`/v1/nodes/auth`, plus `/v1/users/devices` to register, list and retire. New
`user_devices` table with an Alembic migration, because `create_all()` is not
one.
This is **not** the key directory that was H3, and the tests say so: nothing
reads it but the hub, no group key is ever wrapped for one, and it is a
different key from the per-node identities. What it does cost is metadata — the
hub now knows how many devices an account has and when each last signed in.
Also `client.minimum` / `client.recommended` in `GET /v1/hub/version`: an
installed client meets a newer hub the day the interface ships in a package, and
that is cheap now and awkward to retrofit.
Browser
-------
The `key_changed` refusal becomes `unknown_device` and offers a linking code
instead of telling someone to find their operator. The Members panel lists this
account's devices here, approves one by code, and retires one.
773 tests pass. `e2e.py` gained a step that links a device end to end against
the live deployment — file, list, recompute, countersign, then open the group
with the new keys and no code — and it also gained `recv_type`, because a step
that assumes the next message is its own answer reads an ack left by the step
before.

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/<hash>/ 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.

USERGUIDE said an hour in five places and presented renewal as something the
reader does with curl. Both are now wrong: it is four hours, the web app renews
for itself, and the endpoint rotates — so anyone driving it by hand has to store
the refresh token that comes back, or their next call revokes the family.
Also corrects what the token's life actually bounds. It is not how long a
revocation takes: the hub reloads the account on every request and refuses a
suspended one at once, and it pushes signed revocations to nodes. What remains
is a leaked token on an account still in good standing, which is the reason to
keep the number small.
Two lessons in CLAUDE.md. A rotated refresh token has to be stored or it is
spent once. And an effect keyed on a value that used to be constant: the WebRTC
dial listed `token` among its dependencies, harmless while a token only ever
expired, fatal once the session renewed itself — it tore the connection down
mid-handshake and the node waited for ever. That and the hook declared after its
own dependency are the same shape, and worth naming as one: code that reads
correctly on its own and is wrong against the component lifecycle.

Reported: on mobile you see only the right-hand edge of the panel, without the
content. Measured, before anything was changed:
320 px viewport -> panel at -138..192, 138 px off the left
360 px -> -98..232
412 px -> -46..284
The panel is 330 px wide and anchored to the right edge of its button — but
that button is not at the right edge of the screen, since the bell and the user
menu come after it. What falls off is the left-hand side, which is where the
file names are, so what stayed on screen was a strip of progress bars belonging
to nothing.
Narrowing it would not have helped: the overflow comes from where the right
edge is pinned, not from the width. Below the existing 768 px breakpoint the
panel is anchored to the viewport instead, full width on a phone and capped at
420 px on a tablet, where stretching two filenames across 750 px would be
silly. Desktop keeps its 330 px against the button.
The interesting part is how it was found. The responsive tests read numbers out
of the stylesheet and said, in their own docstring, that a layout could not be
measured because the suite had no browser. It has one now — Chrome, from the
video work — so layout_probe.py renders the real stylesheet at a given width and
returns rectangles. `width: 330px` was never the thing worth asserting on.
An iframe carries the viewport, because a headless window will not go below
about 500 px, and one browser measures every width: launching one per test put
three minutes on the suite against twenty-six seconds for all of them. Checked
that the new tests fail with the rule removed — three of them do — and that
they pass with it back.

`const a = useCallback(fn, [b])` evaluates `[b]` where it is written, so a `b`
further down the component is still in its temporal dead zone. ReferenceError on
every render, before anything the component does can run — and the symptom is
the component simply not appearing. Clicking a video did nothing at all: no
picture, no error on screen, nothing in the node's log because nothing was ever
requested. It reached production.
Nothing caught it. `node --check` passes, the code is well-formed. Worse, the
MSE harness extracts the player functions into an order of its own and therefore
*reordered* them before running — quietly repairing the one class of defect it
was best placed to catch. It sorts by position in the file now, and
test_hook_ordering.py checks the property directly across the whole SPA. Both
the rule and the harness are checked against the layout that actually shipped.
test_video_seek.py covers the rest of seeking, and window_leak.mjs forces the
race that made the third seek hang: the whole in-flight window arriving while
`reinitAt` is still awaiting. Before, the player is left believing eight
segments are in flight and grants nothing; after, the window comes back. A run
that happens to work proves nothing about a race, which is the point of forcing
the worst case rather than trusting a longer session.

Five lessons, and the first is the expensive one: a test that models a fix
agrees with it by construction. The buffer-ceiling test passed against a player
that still hung, because the model and the fix had the same author and the same
misunderstanding.
Also: `no-cache` only binds a browser that asks; redeploying during someone
else's test kills their session and truncates the log holding the reproduction;
`updateend` fires for `remove()`; and flow control on a media stream is a
window, not a debt.
USERGUIDE section 7 rewritten — it still described 24 segments in flight and
two transcode slots, and said "transcode" where ffmpeg does a `-c copy` remux,
which is exactly why a slot costs little and why 500 MB really does go on the
wire.

Six lessons, each of which took a deployment and a user's patience to locate.
Five are the same shape: something that fails silently and looks like something
else. The asyncio task nobody holds, `proc.wait()` deadlocking on a pipe it will
not read, a peer whose loss is noted but not acted on, a service worker that is
active without controlling the page, and a React setter that outlives its state.
The sixth is about method: `node --check` validates syntax and not names, and
`e2e.py` is a second implementation of the client rather than a test of this
one. Neither caught any of the above. Source-reading tests are weak evidence and
are the only evidence available for the SPA — so prefer ones that re-derive a
value from the source over ones that restate it.

French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese,
German, Italian, Dutch and Polish, all in the formal register. `hub`,
`node` and `GEK` stay in English: they name the CLI, node.toml and the
docs, and translating them would cut the interface off from everything an
operator reads and types.
Catalogues move out of i18n.js into locales/, one file per language,
fetched with a dynamic import. A visitor downloads their language plus
English as a fallback — about 36 KB rather than the ~180 KB that ten
inlined catalogues would have cost everyone. i18n.js keeps only the
loader, so the first render now waits for initLocale().
Three things the old code got wrong, none of them visible until there was
a second language:
- Resolution trimmed a tag to its base before matching, so a browser
reporting pt-BR looked for a `pt` catalogue that does not exist and fell
back to English. Matching is now exact first, then by base language.
- Counted strings were single strings, so Polish could not express
1 plik / 2 pliki / 5 plików at all. t() selects through
Intl.PluralRules; en.js gains the same treatment, which incidentally
fixes "1 files".
- Interpolation used String.replace, which reads `$&` in the replacement.
A file named rap$&sody.mp3 rendered corrupted in its own delete dialog.
Five strings were still hardcoded in app.js — the group name placeholder
and the four visibility/join-policy descriptions — and are now keyed.
test_locales.py holds the nine translations to the shape of en.js: same
keys, a counted string stays counted everywhere, every plural entry covers
each category Intl actually produces for that language, and the
{placeholders} survive translation. Verified failing first, against a
catalogue with a key removed, a placeholder dropped and the Polish `few`
form deleted.
The language menu also grew from one entry to ten, which overran a short
viewport inside a dropdown that clipped instead of scrolling.

The download-to-disk story is three mechanisms — File System Access in
Chrome, a service worker streaming a response in Firefox and Safari, a
blob as the floor — and no test in this repository exercises any of them.
test_downloads.py pins their contracts by reading the source; whether a
browser really writes to disk needs a person with a large file.
One now has: Firefox, 180 MB, written to disk rather than assembled in
the tab. That is the path worth confirming, since it is the only one
Firefox has and it was written blind. It is also not the scale it exists
for, and the guide says which rows of that table are measured and which
are still only designed.
