* feat: Windows installer (W4) — one per-user NSIS package, client + nodeChristophe Besson2026-09-041-0/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `npm run dist:win` produces MeshBay-Setup-<version>.exe: the Electron client and, beside it under resources/node-runtime/, the frozen meshbay-node daemon (meshbay-common inside it). No hub. Per-user, no elevation — matches the W3 constraint that a logon-triggered scheduled task needs admin. electron-builder / package.json build.win nsis, build/icon.ico, extraResources -> node-runtime/ build.nsis oneClick:false perMachine:false allowElevation:false allowToChangeInstallationDirectory:true dist:win -> packaging/win/build-win.ps1 (mirrors dist -> build-client.sh) packaging/win/ meshbay-node.spec + node-entry.py PyInstaller freeze of meshbay_node.daemon:main. The awkward deps (aiortc, av, aioquic, pydantic_core, uvicorn, watchdog, guessit, blake3, tzdata) are pulled in whole with collect_all — that list is expected to grow when a frozen run raises ModuleNotFoundError. build-node-runtime.ps1 throwaway venv -> pip install -> PyInstaller -> packages/meshbay-client/node-runtime/ (gitignored) build-win.ps1 Node>=22 check, npm ci, Electron bump, sync-ui, node runtime, electron-builder --win nsis bump-electron.mjs the Chromium-CVE "build against latest Electron" policy, out of the PS script (5.1 here-string terminator rules) README.md PyInstaller, not the python-embed zip: the frozen meshbay-node.exe is a genuine relocatable single binary, which is what src/main.js:findNodeBinary spawns (process.resourcesPath/node-runtime/meshbay-node.exe when packaged) and what the W3 autostart launcher points at. The embeddable zip needs pip to make that wrapper and the wrapper bakes in an absolute interpreter path. build/installer.nsh: on uninstall, taskkill meshbay-node.exe and delete the W3 Startup .vbs (it would point wscript at a deleted binary every sign-in). %LOCALAPPDATA%\meshbay\ — node.toml, keystore.enc — is never touched. ffmpeg is not bundled by default (node finds it on PATH); build-win.ps1 -FfmpegDir copies ffmpeg.exe/ffprobe.exe in for a self-contained installer. Verified on the Windows guest: PyInstaller freeze builds first try (node-runtime 147 MB), frozen `meshbay-node status` talks to the live daemon's loopback API; electron-builder --win nsis produces MeshBay-Setup-0.1.0.exe (155 MB), oneClick/perMachine flags applied, node-runtime bundled at the path findNodeBinary expects. test_packaging_win.py (14) pins the config invariants and the NSIS <-> platform.py autostart seam. Node suite 798 pass / 34 skip. Open: Authenticode signing (13.9 — unsigned => SmartScreen), Windows CI (18.3), electron-updater. First clean-machine install + DPAPI + autostart round-trip is a manual check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(node): JSON-only control API, Node page absorbs the admin dashboardChristophe Besson2026-09-011-12/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. See docs/refactor-node-ui.md.
