transport.js keeps the core (connection, reconnect, leases, dispatch).
Chat, media, admin, upload and device methods move, cut as text, into
transport-*.js scripts that hand a class of their own to extendTransport,
which copies each method onto MeshBayTransport.prototype; the codec,
roster checks, node pins and the rewrap fan-out move as they were. Both
shells load them after transport.js. Every prototype member, class
property and top-level function has the same source text as before.

apps.js registers Videos, Music, Photos and every settings pane through
lazy.js; the group page does the same for the video player and the
settings panel, and the shell for the search page. The first download
goes from 49 modules / 386 KB gzip to 37 / 289 KB; opening Music now
fetches music-app.js and media-tiles.js and nothing of Videos.
test_first_load_is_lean holds the eager graph; test_spa_imports checks
that every on-demand load names an export that exists.

Each section of ops.py becomes a module of meshbay_node/ops/ (core,
node_toml, members, chat, groups, roots, files, settings, apps), cut as
text; ops/__init__.py keeps the docstring and re-exports every name, so
`ops.<name>` is unchanged for every caller. Logger name unchanged.

Mail to OVH redirections such as devel@meshbay.org never left the server:
Postfix listed meshbay.org in mydestination and delivered it locally, and
systemd-resolved answered MX queries for the hostname with an empty
authoritative reply. New §9 states both settings and how to check them.
§1 now shows the DNS records as deployed (IPv6, DKIM, DMARC quarantine,
PTR), §2 adds the IPv6 address to SPF and PTR, and §3 describes the
installation itself — packages, main.cf, DKIM key, OpenDKIM tables,
resolved drop-in — instead of pointing at a script outside the repository.

dead node
The other half of the 4G failure. The page negotiated every group twice: the
sweep opened a connection, read the index and closed it, then the warm-up
opened the same group again. The sweep, the warm-up and the tiles each had a
concurrency ceiling of their own, and together they went past what the hub
admits per account. Whatever the hub refused was then reported as "node
unreachable" and remembered as down, which put that group last next time.
- Every connection goes through ConnectionPool, which holds the page's one
ceiling (six at once, sized for twenty groups on a phone) and keeps what
the sweep opened for the tiles. A visit costs one offer per group. A
refresh costs none for a connection that answers a four-second ping, and
a connection that died while the phone slept is replaced, not waited on.
- A connection whose index is being read is held against eviction. With
more groups than the pool keeps, it was otherwise the least recently used
one.
- Negotiations still under way when the page closes close what they get,
and a sweep cut short that way remembers nobody as down.
- transport.js sends an offer again on 429, 502 or 503, honouring
Retry-After, with jittered waits of about twenty seconds at worst. Search
counts each retry as progress. A 404, 403 or 504 still fails at once, so
a dead node costs no time.
The fan-out tests assumed a ceiling of three and were re-measured: four dead
groups of twelve now hold nothing back, even on a first visit. The pool and
the retry run as shipped code, lifted as text, against a fake clock. Each
guard was checked by removing it and seeing its test fail.

The list under "Invite by link" answered every ticket the group had ever
minted, so a link that somebody had already used sat there saying "used by
<name>" for the thirty days of KEEP_REDEEMED — beside the member row it had
just produced, and above the links that still wait for somebody, which are
the only ones there is anything to do about. The node's own `member list`
had never shown them: it selects `used_at IS NULL`.
The listing now selects `redeemed_by IS NULL`, and drops the `redeemed`
status and the `redeemed_by` field with it. The row itself still lives for
KEEP_REDEEMED, which is what lets a reload or a second tab of the invitation
page be answered rather than refused; its comment says that now instead of
naming a list it is no longer in.
The SPA filters too, because the desktop client's copy of this interface can
be newer than the hub it is signed into.

The per-recipient cooldown was shared by every purpose, so the code a
person asked for by registering within two minutes of an invitation
link was refused, silently. The cooldown is now per family (invitations
vs the account's own steps); the daily cap still counts everything.

The security claims table, §3.4's property 2, the protocol's stated
limits, the quickstart and the user guide's defaults now say where a
link's code differs: bound to its account only when redeemed, and held
by the hub when the inviter asks it to mail.

The CLI makes both halves itself — the node's code, then the hub's
ticket bound to the address — and prints the link; a refused ticket
takes the code back, and cancel takes back both. The CLI never asks the
hub to mail.

#/invite takes the link out of the address on load and keeps it in the
tab through registration and sign-in; joining is one click, only the
ticket goes to the hub, and the code goes only to the node the link
names once it has signed its challenge. Members tab gains "Invite by
link" (shared e-mail box, pending list, cancel both halves); home page
takes a pasted link. Browser probe drives the real app, signed out and in.

group_invite_links holds sha256(ticket) and the invitee's address blind
index; redeeming grants membership to that account only. Owner-only
create/list/cancel (a node token may create, never mail), 20 outstanding
per group, optional mail written by the hub itself and capped at 10 per
sender per day (mail.invite_link_daily_cap). MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §3.4 now
carries the whole link design.

New invite kind "link": member of one group, once, never operator, not
spendable by an active member, capped at 20 per group, cancellable by
handle. Signed ops invite_link_create / invite_cancel, loopback routes,
and the known-device join path now accepts a link code. Adds the plan,

node_pk in handshake_challenge is now signed over the channel binding
and both nonces, so a client can check the node key before a join
rather than only at the ack. Both transports; the browser and the QUIC
client refuse a wrong signature and treat an absent one as an older node.

`ops.revoke_member` and `ops.unpin_member` log nothing to audit.db while
the MNP handlers doing the same work audit it. Parked in §15.3: a
removal from the node page or the CLI leaves a refusal with nothing to
explain it.

A reconnection restarted the stream at the playhead, and that empties the
source buffer — spending the whole read-ahead at the one moment it was the
thing carrying the film. It carries on from the end of the buffer instead,
except where the buffer is short, the stream already ended, or a cast is
active: the receiver is fed from the wire and never had that buffer, so
resuming there would skip it forward by the lot.

A browser limits bytes, so a bound in seconds had to be sized for the
highest-bitrate file and every ordinary one then held a fraction of what
the same buffer would have taken. Floored at the old 90 s so nothing
pulls less than before, and walked up rather than declared. A refused
append now waits for an eviction instead of retrying on every tick.

A member row appears only when a code is consumed, so revoking someone
invited to the wrong group was refused for having no row — and the node's
refusal aborted the browser's removal before its hub half, leaving them a
member everywhere with a live code. Revoking now cancels unredeemed codes
for that group, and a node refusal no longer cancels the hub removal.

QUICKSTART Step 4 named the wrong page. Recorded in §15.3 alongside it: the
key is read from `meshbay-node status` or the desktop client and from nowhere
else, which is a decision rather than a gap — anyone linking a node is already
at a shell prompt.

media_cache held video_meta, photo_meta and thumbs; the audio tags lived
only in the in-memory IndexEntry. So every start re-read every audio file
the node serves, and until that pass landed it served an index with no
artist on any track — one the Music app cannot group. Over a real
6176-file library the pass costs 27.8s cold and 6.4s from audio_meta.
Only what the bytes decided is stored. The filename and folder fallbacks
still run live, or a renamed file would get the old name's answer; the
sibling-cover scan reads the folder, so it stays live too; and a read
that failed is not cached, or one bad read becomes permanent.

The grid's unit is an album, so a track whose artist tag is empty was
drawn nowhere — while `empty` counted it and stayed false, so no message
appeared either. An untagged library rendered a toolbar over a blank
page, with every track one mode-switch away and nothing saying so.
It gets a card, the same shape the singleton folding already mints. No
cover is looked up for it, or for any album this file invented: the
release name is one the browser wrote, and the request cannot match.
music_untagged_probe.py renders the real grid and reads the page back.

_reconnectLoop re-did the handshake and nothing else, so a page kept
whatever it last saw until someone reloaded it. That is invisible until
the node restarts: it rebuilds its index from index_cache.db, which
holds no enrichment, and Music is the one app whose enrichment is
persisted nowhere — for the length of the re-read pass it serves tracks
with no artist, and the album grid drew nothing.
onReconnected was one slot the video player took on open and cleared on
close; it is a listener set now, and carries the fresh ack.
docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §15.3 records the two defects found alongside and
not fixed here.

One conflict, in §15.3's open list, and it was two changes agreeing rather than
disagreeing: this side removed the rows for the third-party search bound and the
node-announcement bound because both are now built (AV27, AV28), while the other
side kept them and added a new one. Resolved by keeping what is genuinely still
open — per-device revocation having no CLI — and leaving the two closed.
`webrtc_server.py` merged without conflict but the two sides met inside one
function: `_upload_chunk` gained the operator's `max_upload_gb` ceiling from
there and the per-group lock and `off_disk` calls from here. Read back rather
than trusted: the operator's ceiling now sits inside the critical section that
keeps chunk ordering, and the unlink beside it goes to the disk thread with
everything else.
2893 passed. The twelve `test_sticky_header.py[firefox]` setup errors are the
open Firefox on this machine, as before.

The daemon built the defaults dict for `Roster.node_settings` by hand and
left out `max_concurrent_downloads` and `max_concurrent_uploads`. Absent
from the dict, both resolved to None, were assigned back onto the config,
and the transport skipped them — so node.toml was parsed, validated, and
then replaced by `transfers.py`'s own 8. Invisible to anyone who left the
value at 8, which is the value the template suggests.
There were three copies of that dict and they all disagreed: node_status'
was missing those two and `max_upload_gb` besides. One builder now,
`config.node_settings_defaults`, and the resolver's key list is a class
attribute the tests hold it to, along with the writer's.
1429 passed against a baseline of 1423; the two new behavioural tests fail
with the builder reverted.

Found by writing the user guide against the CLI rather than against this
document. §6.7 listed a `member device` verb nobody ever wrote; §9.9 still
called several folders a Photos-only shape after app_directories gave every
application a set; §6.8 said five settings and the Node page shows eight;
§5.5 counted one transfer pool where there are three.
The per-device revocation gap is real and stays open — §15.3 names it as
the capability it is, not as a documentation error.

QUICKSTART takes one Linux machine from downloaded packages to a working
group with a second member. USERGUIDE covers using a group and running a
node, for a reader who is not a developer. Windows stays in
PACKAGING-GUIDE.md.
Both are written from the code — the CLI, ops.py, the systemd units and
the interface catalogue — rather than from the specification, and they
state what is not built as readily as what is.

Was a 4 GB constant in webrtc_server.py, the same on a small board and on
a machine holding a library. Now max_upload_gb in node.toml, on the Node
page and via `meshbay-node transfers max-size`, read from the transport
context per chunk so a change reaches an upload already running.

§16 opened by saying "code comments, tests and older documents cite sections
of the documents this one replaces", and closed by saying "nothing needs
editing to follow a reference". Neither holds since 20a8241: the code carries
no reference to a removed document, and that commit is precisely the editing
the second sentence said was unnecessary. Left as it was, that sentence tells
the next reader a dead reference may stay dead.
The table itself is unchanged and stays whole — every row still resolves
something. What changed is who asks: 629 commits of history that cannot be
rewritten, the superseded documents kept under docs/ (cast-smart-tv.md and
WINDOWS-PORT.md both route readers here by name), and notes held outside this
repository. The intro now says that, and states the rule the code follows
instead — cite this document and a section.

**A free-text TMDB search spends the operator's credential.** TMDB rates it, and
the automatic matching every member sees runs on the same one, so a member
holding down the search box — or a script doing it — degrades the library for
everyone and empties a quota the operator pays for. The handler had no ceiling of
any kind, where link previews beside it carry two. §6.5's standing rule is a bound
and a named adversary in the same commit; this arrived with neither.
Per member and not per connection, unlike link previews: three tabs is one
person, and a ceiling a tab can multiply is not a ceiling. Kept in the group
context, so a reconnect does not reset it — a client that drops its channel
between searches would otherwise have no ceiling at all. The node-wide window
stays too, because the two answer different questions: one keeps a member from
spending everyone's quota, the other keeps a roomful of them from doing it
together. Ten a minute each, thirty for the node — a search every six seconds,
sustained, is past what anyone types.
The refusal is an error rather than an empty list. An empty list is what "no such
film" looks like, and telling somebody their film is unknown when the node simply
declined to ask is a worse answer than the truth; `video-app.js` already puts
`detail` on screen.
**How many node keys one account may announce.** Each is a row in `nodes` plus a
row in the IP log, and the IP log is kept for a year, so an account in a loop
writes a year of storage on the operator's disk having paid only for signatures.
M8 settled whose key it is and said nothing about how many. Ten: a node is a
machine left running, and an account wanting an eleventh *identity* rather than
an eleventh machine is the case this refuses.
Counted only where a row is added. Applied to every announce it would freeze the
address of every node an account already runs the moment it reached the limit,
and a node that cannot re-announce is unreachable after its ISP renumbers it —
an outage caused by the protection. There is a test for exactly that.
Both tests are two accounts, per §13.5b: a ceiling one person can exhaust for
another is not a ceiling but a queue, and a ceiling shared between accounts would
let one member stop every other from bringing a machine online. Checked by
removing each ceiling: seven tests fail.
`test_season_and_search_requests.py` built its session without a `_user_id`,
which production guarantees — `_dispatch_message` refuses every message until the
handshake settles it. The fixture was narrower than the node, so it could not
exercise a per-member bound at all; it has one now.
Twelve `test_sticky_header.py[firefox]` setup errors in a full run here: Firefox
is open on this machine, the trap CLAUDE.md describes, and its twelve `[chrome]`
tests covering the same geometry pass.

`group_indexes` was an IndexedDB store holding a decrypted copy of each group's
index — every file's name, path, size, hash and uploader — written on every index
and on every delta, from three call sites.
It was the cross-group search of Phase 10b: `doSearch` read `getAllCachedIndexes`
and searched those records instead of dialling anything. On 2026-08-28 Search
began dialling the nodes, and that commit removed the reader and left the writers.
Since then the browser has gone on building a cleartext file listing that nothing
consulted, that no sign-out removed — the key database is a different one — and
that grew with every group ever opened. L7, at rest: kept code that nothing calls
does not sit still.
Drawing a group's files while its node is unreachable is the only thing such a
cache buys, and it is not wanted: a listing that cannot be opened is worse than an
honest absence. So there is nothing to read it with, and the writers go.
The store stays in the schema and is emptied instead. Dropping it needs a version
bump, a version bump is an upgrade another tab can block, and playlists share this
database — so the tidier change is the one with a failure mode. `purgeGroupIndexCache`
runs once per browser behind a flag, which clears what is already on people's
machines; a browser that refuses storage simply runs it again, which is harmless
because it is idempotent.
Three guards, each checked by reintroducing the fault: only `openDB` and the purge
may touch the store, the purge may only clear it, and the purge must actually be
called at start-up — a purge nobody calls is the same defect wearing the opposite
hat.
`test_sticky_header.py[firefox]` reports twelve setup errors in a full run here.
A Firefox instance is open on this machine, which is the trap CLAUDE.md describes;
the same twelve appear with these changes stashed, and the `[chrome]` half of the
same file, covering the same geometry, is clean.

A node is a machine in somebody's house, so with a handful of groups one is
always off. Search treated that as the exception and charged the reader for it.
Measured on twelve groups against a virtual clock, a live group answering in
200 ms and a dead one taking the full deadline: one node down in the first batch
put a blank page and a progress bar in front of the reader for **ten seconds**,
while two groups of that same batch had answered in two hundred milliseconds and
nine others had not been dialled at all. Four down, spread out — the shape a real
reader has — was ten seconds to the first result and **forty** to the last.
Two causes, neither of them the connection deadline. Results were drawn once a
batch was complete rather than as each arrived, so an index already in hand waited
on a node that was not answering. And the batches were sequential, so a dead group
did not merely cost its own deadline, it postponed every group behind it.
So the three is a ceiling on concurrency and never a batch — `inFlight` starts the
next group the moment one ends — and each index is drawn when it lands.
That alone is not enough, and the tests say where it stops: a ceiling still lets
silent nodes hold every place at once, and with four of twelve down the last three
live groups still waited out a deadline. So the browser remembers which groups
were silent and dials them last, which puts all eight on screen in 600 ms. The
list is advisory and rewritten from what each sweep saw: a private window, storage
that refuses, a first visit or a node that has come back all fall through to the
hub's own order, cost one sweep, and correct themselves.
The "n groups unreachable" line also waited for the sweep to finish, which is the
one moment it is no longer needed. It now appears as they are found.
First result, before and after, twelve groups: one down 10 s → 200 ms; four down
10 s → 200 ms with every reachable group on screen by 600 ms; three down and
listed first 10 s → 200 ms from the second visit on.
