* Merge origin/main into the chat encryption workChristophe Besson2026-09-071-1/+1
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

| * refactor(mnp)!: remove stream_seg, the last unencrypted content messageChristophe Besson2026-09-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `stream_seg` answered with an MPEG-TS segment as base64 with no encryption at all — the one message on the content plane that never went through a GEK-derived key. Live on both transports, answering any authenticated member. It predates `stream_data`, which does the same job properly (`chunk_ciphertext`, keyed per segment, AES-256-GCM) and has since Phase 12. Its only browser caller, `fetchStreamSegment`, was defined and never once invoked — a plaintext media endpoint with no client. Removed rather than repaired. Gone with it: `_extract_segment` and the ffmpeg semaphore in quic_server, the `fetch_stream_segment` QUIC client method, and `_b64decode` in transport.js, which had no other caller. The H6 regression test lived on this handler — it pinned `_do_stream_segment_async` to a coroutine so `subprocess.run` could not stall the event loop for thirty seconds per request. It is replaced by the property that outlives the handler: no transport carries media outside an AEAD, asserted on `stream_seg` and `data_b64` across all three transport modules. The half of H6 that survives — the live streaming path still spawns ffmpeg — keeps its own test. BREAKING CHANGE: `stream_seg` is no longer answered on either transport. No shipping client sends it. Recorded as part of MNP 2.0, whose other half — the sealed upload — carries the version bump.

* | feat(chat): encrypt group chat under per-device epoch keys (MNP 2.0)Christophe Besson2026-09-071-9/+22
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* feat!: MNP 1.0 — seal index and handshake_ack under the group keyChristophe Besson2026-09-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `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.

* docs: Windows port audit and sender key distribution decisionChristophe Besson2026-09-031-33/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: move root docs into docs/ and archive superseded draftsChristophe Besson2026-09-011-0/+1343
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.
