A second-machine sideload of the MSIX target surfaced three things the
earlier verification round (which only proved the package installs and
runs) had missed:
1. meshbay-node missing from PATH. installer.nsh's customInstall adds
node-runtime\ to HKCU\Environment at install time -- an unelevated
per-user write, never blocked by MSIX's no-elevation rule, only by the
more basic fact that an AppX/MSIX install runs no custom code at all.
packaging/win/ensure-node-path.ps1 (idempotent, no admin verb) plus
main.js's winEnsureNodeOnPath() do it from the app itself instead, once
per launch, shipped to Full and MSIX (not Light, nothing to add there).
Verified live via the Node inspector protocol: the entry was in
HKCU\Environment\Path after a launch, absent before.
2. A daemon that crashes on startup failed silently. spawnNodeDetached()
used stdio: 'ignore', so a real crash reproduced live (a second instance
colliding with the first on 127.0.0.1:18000) left waitForNode()'s
generic 60s timeout as the only failure ever shown. spawnNodeDetachedWatched()
pipes stdio and watches ~2.5s, rejecting immediately with the daemon's
own stderr on an early exit; a survivor has its streams released and
runs fully detached exactly as before. First version bounded the
captured text by line count and a live test showed that cut the actual
OSError line -- two uvicorn/asyncio tracebacks followed it in the real
capture -- so it is bounded by characters instead.
3. No hint that a startup-mode choice exists. The install-time radio page
was the only place this was ever offered, and nothing replaces it now
that no install-time page can exist at all. SetupWelcome (the existing
first-run banner) grew a conditional hint, shown only while a bundled
node is present and neither autostart nor service mode is configured
yet. Considered and rejected: linking straight to the Node page -- its
route is gated on a linked hub node key, false on the exact fresh-install
screen this hint targets, so the link would have been dead on arrival.
New key setup.node_startup_hint, added to all ten locale catalogues.
test_packaging_win.py gained six tests pinning all three (69 total).
Full plan and verification detail: C:\Users\admin\devel\msix-installer.md
section 13 (out of repo).

Store certification of the NSIS "MSI/EXE" submission failed on three
checks (silent-install verification, Add/Remove Programs entry, bundleware
check) -- traced and reproduced live to one cause: SmartScreen blocks an
unsigned, internet-downloaded installer at the shell layer before
Microsoft's own unattended validation bot ever gets to run it. MSIX
sidesteps this class of failure entirely: submitted through the Store's
native pipeline, there is no browser-download-then-launch step for
SmartScreen to intercept, and Microsoft signs the package itself at
publish time -- free, and specific to this submission type (Trusted
Signing remains a paid service for the MSI/EXE path). Full plan and
findings: C:\Users\admin\devel\msix-installer.md (out of repo).
electron-builder.msix.yml carries the same bundle as Full (node runtime,
ffmpeg, both service scripts) -- an AppX/MSIX install never elevates, by
design, but that changes only *when* the two elevated operations can run,
not whether the daemon ships. No main.js changes were needed: the on-demand
elevation path for service-mode (winElevateServiceMode(), driven from the
Node page) already existed for a different reason and depends only on
service-mode.ps1 being present as an extraResource, true for any packaged
Windows target. identityName/publisher/publisherDisplayName are the real
values from Partner Center's app-identity reservation, not placeholders.
build-win-msix.ps1 points electron-builder at the system Windows 10 SDK
(auto-detected) instead of letting it download its own bundled copy --
that download's 7z extraction creates symlinks this target never uses and
fails without SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, reproduced on this machine.
build/appx/ carries the four tile images the AppX target requires
regardless of showNameOnTiles, generated once from the existing app icon
(see that directory's README) since the system-SDK redirect has no vendor
samples to fall back to. build/appx-extensions.xml declares
windows.startupTask by hand rather than via electron-builder's
addAutoLaunchExtension, which always targets the Electron shell -- this
points at the bundled node binary instead, matching what "starts at sign
in" already means for Full.
Verified live via a signed sideload install (self-signed test cert,
cleaned up after): the package installs and the app runs correctly. One
finding worth carrying forward -- the declared network capabilities
(internetClientServer, privateNetworkClientServer) do not create any
firewall exemption for this app, most likely because automatic
capability-based exemption is an AppContainer-sandbox property and this
app deliberately runs full-trust, outside any sandbox. Not a regression:
no install-time elevation was possible either way, so the cost is the same
one-time OS firewall prompt firewall.ps1's own header already documents as
its fallback today.

MeshBay Light has no bundled meshbay-node.exe, so the create-group wizard
(which assumes it can start a local node) needs its own signal, not just
platform.node.available. main.js exposes it over IPC (node:bundled) by
checking the packaged resources directory rather than trusting a build-time
constant; preload.js and platform.js carry it through the usual
contextBridge/wrapper path.
winCanElevateServiceMode() replaces the two prior 'app.isPackaged' checks
for whether the app can offer service-mode elevation -- Light is packaged
but has no service-mode.ps1 to elevate into, so packaged alone was already
the wrong test even before this target existed.
create-group-page.js gates the wizard step that starts a node on the new
capability instead of hiding the whole feature; node-page.js's comment fix
is unrelated cosmetic drift caught in the same pass.

MeshBay Light ships the Electron client + UI only -- no PyInstaller node
freeze, no ffmpeg, no service install/autostart. Two standalone
electron-builder configs (Full via package.json's build field, Light via
electron-builder.light.yml passed with --config, which reads only that
file -- confirmed against app-builder-lib's own config loader) rather than
one config branching on a flag.
build-win-common.ps1 holds the steps both orchestrators share (Node check,
npm ci, Electron bump, sync-ui) so build-win.ps1 (Full) and the new
build-win-light.ps1 cannot drift apart; build-win.ps1 is refactored to
dot-source it with no behavior change (rebuilt and diffed byte-identical
output).
installer-light.nsh keeps the one thing Light still needs -- an
unconditional firewall rule, since the client listens too -- and none of
the service-mode/autostart machinery installer.nsh carries, which has
nothing to gate without a bundled node.
dist-light/ (Light's own electron-builder output dir) gets its own
.gitignore line since the bare dist/ rule does not match it.

Operator feedback on the 0.13.0 installer:
- The all-users / current-user page (electron-builder's PAGE_INSTALL_MODE)
only ever showed "anyone who uses this computer" disabled -- MeshBay is
per-user only (account-bound keystore/DPAPI, MESHBAY_DESIGN.md 11.2) and
build.nsis forbids elevation. customInstallMode forces $isForceCurrentInstall
so the page is skipped.
- The two nested Yes/No MessageBoxes are one nsDialogs radio page
(customPageAfterChangeDir): only-while-open / at-sign-in / background service,
default background service. customInit seeds MB_AutoMode "2" for silent
installs where the page never runs. "At sign-in" now writes the Startup .vbs
from the installer (meshbay-node autostart install, unelevated); the old
per-user branch set up nothing.
- The firewall rules go in for every mode, not behind a second opt-in -- a node
that accepts no connections is the failure mode MESHBAY_DESIGN.md 7.5 names.
Folded into the service elevation for mode 2; their own single elevation for
0/1. Unelevated short-circuit kept but narrower: firewall.ps1 check AND
service.ps1 status must both pass to skip mode 2's UAC.
Var MB_AutoMode lives inside customPageAfterChangeDir, not at file scope: the
uninstaller compile pass inserts none of the macros that read it and
makensis -WX turns "unused Var" (6001) into a hard error.
Not yet exercised on a real machine -- the NSIS UI cannot be driven from the
build env. test_packaging_win.py pins the script shape.

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.

A PDF preview showed the "this browser will not display the PDF inline"
fallback everywhere — in the desktop client since its first launch, and in
the browser since the hub started sending a CSP on 2026-09-01. It read as a
missing native feature because before that commit the hub sent no policy at
all, so Chrome had once worked and the application never had.
Two directives govern one feature. `files-app.js` decrypts the file in the
page and hands it to `<object type="application/pdf">` from a Blob; Chromium
loads that as plugin data (`object-src`, absent and therefore falling back to
`default-src 'none'`) and then renders it in an internal frame (`frame-src`).
Opening either alone changes nothing visible — the second refusal produces the
same fallback. `'self'` covers neither: a same-origin `blob:` URL is not
matched by it in either directive, measured in Chrome 152 against the deployed
page and in Electron 44 against the client's own policy.
`plugins` stays at its default `false`: the built-in viewer is not behind that
flag on Electron 44, verified by rendering one.
Widening `object-src` from `'none'` to `blob:` admits only what page script
minted itself, at a type this code sets — PDFium parsing bytes that came from
a node, which is what any browser does with the same file once downloaded.
Tests: each policy is pinned to carry `blob:` in both directives (each fails
if either token is removed), and the two policies are now held identical
directive by directive apart from the two deliberate differences — the comment
claiming they were the same had already drifted and nothing checked it. The
CSP source parser in test_desktop_shell.py read `//` comment lines as
directives, which is the "parse directives, not text" mistake this file
already records; it skips them now.

Stage 4 of ~/next/improve-downloads.md, the flag day. Leases become compulsory
and a 2.x peer is refused at the handshake.
**The bound on leaseless reads (§3.4.1) did not exist, and it is what makes the
rest mean anything.** Browsing a group is never subject to a transfer slot —
that is an operator decision and a requirement: a member must be able to browse
a group at capacity exactly as they browse an idle one. But "not leased" cannot
mean "unbounded", or a client that simply omits `tr` transfers outside every cap
and the caps are decoration. A session may now read two distinct files at once
without a lease: one because a viewer looks at one file, two so that prefetching
the next photo stays possible. A count of files and not a byte budget, because a
RAW photo is 60-80 MB and is browsing while a 40 MB archive is a download, and
no size threshold separates them. Thumbnails, posters and cover art never reach
this check at all — they resolve out of the node's own cache.
It is a fairness control among cooperating clients, in the company of
`max_concurrent_streams`, and is not a defence against a member determined to
saturate a node's disk. That member is a member, and the answer to them is
`member revoke`.
**MNP_VERSION and MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED both move to 3.0**, on both sides. The
messages are additive; the requirement is not. An opt-in switch would leave a
leaseless branch reachable on every node, which is finding C6's lesson — a
transport that accepted a bare JWT — one feature later.
**The desktop client now checks before it connects.** The SPA is served by the
hub and picks up a new client on reload; the application ships its own
interface, so an un-updated one would sign in, list groups, and fail every
connection with `version_too_old` — a refusal in a protocol vocabulary with
nothing anyone can act on. It asks `/v1/hub/version` for `client.minimum` and
says so plainly instead. An unreachable hub is deliberately *not* "too old": a
captive portal or a closed laptop must not make starting the application
impossible.
**Every package is aligned on 0.13.0.** `meshbay-client/package.json` had
drifted to 1.0.0 while the Python packages were on 0.12.0 — invisible until
something compared those numbers, and then load-bearing: an installed client
announcing 1.0.0 sorts above a 0.13.0 minimum and walks through the gate meant
to stop it. That is stated in the code rather than left to be rediscovered; it
is acceptable exactly once, because the operator is updating every client, node
and hub by hand for this flag day. A new test fails if two packages ever
disagree again, and another fails if the hub would refuse the client the tree
builds.
Node suite 1209 passed, hub suite 861 passed.

`save:abort` deleted a cancelled download, but nothing covered the application
being quit, killed or crashing mid-transfer: the write stream was abandoned and
a truncated file kept the final name — the exact thing save:abort's own comment
calls worse than no file at all, because it looks complete to whoever opens it
next.
Downloads go to `<target>.part` and are renamed after the stream has flushed,
which is the convention the node already uses for uploads (`_do_file_upload`).
A crash now leaves a self-evidently unfinished file. `before-quit` also clears
any `.part` still open, synchronously — it does not wait for promises — so a
deliberate quit leaves nothing at all.
Verified by hand: .part during the transfer, survives SIGKILL, renamed on
completion, and gone after a cancel or a clean quit.

ensureTray() was reachable only from the window:minimize-to-tray handler, so
the indicator did not exist until you had already hidden the window into it.
That is backwards on both desktops — most of what a tray is for is finding an
application that is not in front of you — and on Windows it read as the app
having no tray presence at all.
Created during app.whenReady(), after registerBridge() and before
createWindow(). The order matters: buildTrayMenu reads the nodeService that
registerBridge assigns, so the other way round puts the Start/Stop entry on
the menu one five-second poll late.
The menu's labels were the one thing that came *from* the minimise call, since
the main process has no i18n. A new tray:labels IPC (platform.setTrayLabels)
carries them instead, sent from the renderer's boot once initLocale() has a
catalogue; a language change reloads the page, so the same call covers it. The
window between launch and that first message shows TRAY_FALLBACK, in English.
§5.10's two platform gates become one — trayOS() in main.js, which every tray
path calls. test_desktop_shell.py's existing test is rewritten against it and
two are added: the launch ordering, and that no tray path tests
process.platform inline instead of calling the gate.
Windows still files a new tray icon under hidden icons until the person drags
it onto the taskbar. No API promotes it; documented in WINDOWS-PORT.md §5.11
rather than worked around.

Some Wayland compositors never schedule a first paint for an unmapped
surface, but the window stays unmapped until show() runs, which was
gated entirely on that paint's ready-to-show event — a cycle with no
way out on its own. Observed under GNOME/Mutter on a VM whose
virtio-gpu device fails command-buffer creation. Add a bounded
fallback show(), guarded on isVisible() so it's a no-op once the
event has already fired normally and doesn't steal focus back from
whatever the person switched to.

Two independent breaks in the Windows first-run path:
- node:start's win32 branch never linked the node's Ed25519 key to the hub
account, so the daemon sat at waiting_for_account and the Create Group
wizard span on "Detecting local node…" for ever — the only way through
was pasting the key by hand on the Profile page. The Linux branch has
always done this inline; factor it into linkNodeKeyAndAwaitRunning() and
call it from win32 too. PUT /v1/users/me/node_key overwrites, so this
also recovers an account still carrying a previous machine's node key.
- service.ps1's install branch did `$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction`,
shadowing its own [ValidateSet(...)][string]$Action parameter (PowerShell
variable names are case-insensitive). The CimInstance was coerced to the
string "MSFT_TaskExecAction", Register-ScheduledTask -Action rejected it,
and "background service" mode never created the task — reproduced live.
Rename the locals to $taskAction / $bootTrigger / $taskPrincipal.

The tray's Start/Stop already drove nodeService.status/stop/restart, which
had full win32 branches for both startup modes from the Node page work --
so enabling it on Windows is widening two platform gates (the `tray`
capability in preload.js, the window:minimize-to-tray handler in main.js),
not new logic.
Replaced the tray icon: the previous white chevron-in-a-box read as an
envelope at tray size. New icon is a small "M" drawn as mesh nodes and
edges, echoing the app icon's own motif, in the brand blue instead of
plain white so it stays legible on both light and dark taskbars/panels.

The first icon was an arrow dropping into a receptacle, which is the download
glyph -- a vertical stem above a container reads that way whatever the context.
Replaced with a window folding a chevron into itself: no stem, and the frame
says which object is being minimised. Applied to both the nav button and the
panel indicator, which carried the same wrong shape.
The menu now offers Start or Stop for the node daemon, chosen from its actual
state and shown only when there is a daemon to act on: `supported && installed`,
so a machine with no node installed gets no entry rather than a control that
fails when used. `restart` is the start verb -- systemd's restart starts a
stopped unit, and there is no separate one to call.
The three service handlers become named functions so the tray drives exactly
what the Node page drives, instead of a second copy of the systemctl and Task
Scheduler branches. A read of the state that throws is treated as no control
at all.
The menu is rebuilt on a 5s timer while an indicator exists, and again straight
after an action. libappindicator has no "menu is about to open" event, so a menu
built once would show a stale Start/Stop for the life of the process; `systemctl
--user show` costs a few milliseconds.
Locales: tray.start_node / tray.stop_node in all ten.

A dedicated monochrome button in the nav, immediately left of the notification
bell, hides the window to a tray indicator. Linux only for now; Windows is
being done on that OS, and the capability is declared per platform so the
button never appears where the desktop shows no indicator -- there it would
hide the window for good.
Hides, never closes: `window-all-closed` quits the app, so closing here would
make "minimise" mean "exit" and drop the session, the transfers and the node
connection. `second-instance` now calls the same restore path, since focusing
a hidden window does nothing visible.
The context menu is not decoration. Under libappindicator -- how GNOME shows a
tray at all, via the AppIndicator extension -- `tray.on('click')` never fires;
the indicator only opens its menu. A tray whose sole affordance was a click
would be inert on the one desktop this targets. The click handler is kept for
desktops that do send it.
Menu labels come from the renderer with the IPC call: the locale files are the
interface's, the main process has no i18n, and a second string table is how two
of them start disagreeing. English fallbacks if none arrive.
The icon lives in src/, not build/: package.json `files` packages only `src/**`
and `ui/**`, so an icon under build/ is present in a dev run and missing from
every installed one. Monochrome, stroked, matching the nav glyph.
Verified on this host: Ubuntu GNOME with ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com and
libayatana-appindicator3 present, so the indicator has somewhere to appear.
Not yet run end to end.

Windows-only changes, all found by actually running the previous session's
work rather than by review alone:
- CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT/LOGOFF/SHUTDOWN handler (platform.py, ctypes
SetConsoleCtrlHandler) so closing a console window, signing off, or a
system shutdown runs the daemon's real _shutdown() instead of Windows
just ending the process — closing WebRTC sessions and any in-flight
ffmpeg transcode instead of orphaning it. `taskkill /F` itself stays
uncatchable (like SIGKILL), so autostart_run() now spawns with
CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP instead of DETACHED_PROCESS and autostart_end()
tries CTRL_BREAK_EVENT against the recorded pid first, falling back to
the hard kill only if that doesn't stop it in time.
- Replaced the Node page's two independent autostart/service-mode toggles
with one "start automatically" select (off / at sign-in / as a
background service). The old pair let both be active at once — starting
the daemon twice, at boot and at sign-in — and their layout broke
wrapping inside .node-service's flex row. The new control always removes
whichever mechanism is active before installing the target; platform.py's
service_install() does the same on the CLI side. The "background
service" option disables itself (with a hint pointing at the CLI) when
running unpackaged, since service-mode.ps1/service.ps1/firewall.ps1 all
assume an installed build's layout — verified live rather than assumed
by actually running those scripts unelevated.
- findNodeBinary() no longer bakes a stray \r into resolved paths. Found by
rebooting after enabling per-user autostart: where.exe listed two
matches, and stdout.trim().split('\n')[0] only strips the whole string's
ends, leaving line one's own trailing \r attached — which landed inside
the Startup .vbs's quoted path and broke it with "Unterminated string
constant" at boot. Fixed by splitting on \r?\n and trimming every line.
- Dependency audit for the Windows installer (docs/WINDOWS-PORT.md): no
VC++ Redistributable needed, confirmed by inspecting the built
node-runtime's actual import table rather than assuming. New
docs/windows-build.md: a concise clone-to-installer build guide.

The installer's own mode question is effectively one-shot: customInstall
skips it entirely once the firewall rules already exist, for any reason --
and per-user mode sets those up on its own, with no Scheduled Task involved.
So declining once (or the rules existing from something unrelated, as
happened on a dev machine this session) was a dead end: no reinstall, repair,
or uninstall/reinstall cycle could ever bring the question back, since
uninstall defaults to leaving both alone.
Add the other door in (and out): a checkbox on the Node page, next to the
existing per-user autostart toggle, wired main.js -> preload.js -> platform.js
-> node-page.js. It runs packaging/win/service-mode.ps1 -- the exact script
installer.nsh already runs -- via one Start-Process -Verb RunAs elevation, so
the two paths can never disagree about what service mode means. The elevation
helper writes a tiny param()-based .ps1 to %TEMP% so the target script path
and its arguments bind through real PowerShell parameters instead of nested
string-quoting.
Also fixes a real pre-existing gap found while checking this: 8 of the 10
locale catalogues (all but en/fr) were missing the autostart/service-mode
keys added in an earlier commit this session (b782886) -- test_locales.py's
key-set-parity check uses a for-loop with an inline assert, so it stopped at
the first mismatch (fr) and never actually reached the other eight. Backfilled
all five keys (three pre-existing, two new) in de/es/it/ja/nl/pl/pt-BR/zh-CN.

winget install ffmpeg was considered and rejected as the mechanism: it
needs network access and winget/App Installer present at the exact
moment setup runs, and its failure mode is silent -- video just does
not stream, with nothing pointing back at ffmpeg. Not viable for a
non-technical install.
MeshBay transcodes browser-incompatible video to H.264 (-c:v libx264,
webrtc_server.py) -- a real encode, not remux -- so this needs a genuine
GPL ffmpeg build; no LGPL-only build includes an H.264 encoder, since
libx264 itself is GPL.
packaging/win/fetch-ffmpeg.ps1 (new)
Downloads, checksum-verifies and stages ffmpeg for the build. Source:
BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds' Windows x86_64 gpl-shared preset -- shared DLLs
rather than two independent static binaries, which is what nearly
tripled this: the "full" static build many devs already have via
winget is ~220 MB *per executable*. Pinned to one dated release tag
(immutable once published) and its own sha256, not the "latest" alias
BtbN repoints on every auto-build -- verified by hand first (downloaded,
hash matched, ran a real encode+probe with libx264) before pinning.
ffplay.exe (an SDL2 player, ~17 MB) is dropped; MeshBay never invokes
it. Cached after the first build. Runs its own smoke test (encode +
probe a real clip) so a broken fetch fails at build time, not for the
first user who tries to watch something.
packaging/win/LICENSE-ffmpeg.txt (new)
GPLv3 notice + where the corresponding source is, required because
this redistributes a GPL binary even though it is unmodified and only
ever invoked as a subprocess. Ships alongside ffmpeg.exe in the
installer.
build-node-runtime.ps1 / build-win.ps1
Bundling is now the DEFAULT, replacing the old opt-in -FfmpegDir (which
copied from a local directory and left most builds without ffmpeg at
all). -SkipFfmpeg opts out for a smaller, streaming-less local-iteration
build.
Also fixes a real bug the ffmpeg change exposed rather than caused: the
final `--help` smoke test did `$help -notmatch "meshbay-node"` against
$help captured as a PowerShell ARRAY (one element per line) -- -notmatch
on a collection is a FILTER, not a boolean test, and returns the
non-matching elements; any non-empty array is truthy in if() regardless
of content. Once --help wrapped past one line (it now does, with
autostart/service in the verb list) this threw unconditionally. Fixed
by joining to one string before matching, and pinned by a new test so
a future edit cannot silently reintroduce the collection-vs-scalar trap.
Verified: downloaded and hashed the pinned release by hand (matches),
ran a real libx264 encode + ffprobe against the extracted build,
fetch-ffmpeg.ps1 end to end (161 MB staged), a full build-node-runtime.ps1
run (308 MB node-runtime/) and a full installer build (MeshBay-Setup-
1.0.0.exe, 210.8 MB with ffmpeg bundled). Node suite 850 pass / 25 skip.

The per-user Startup-folder launcher (W3) only ever runs after this user
signs in. A real Windows Service would start earlier, but under
LocalSystem/NetworkService -- accounts with no normal profile, so
%LOCALAPPDATA%\meshbay\ (config, keystore, data) would not exist for it.
Relocating storage to make that work is real surgery, deliberately not
done here.
Instead: a Scheduled Task, created once with admin rights, that runs AS
THIS USER at boot without needing them to sign in first.
`schtasks /create ... /ru <user> /rp ""` with no `/it` registers an S4U
(Service For User) logon -- no password stored anywhere, and unlike
LocalSystem it loads this account's own profile, so config_dir()/
data_dir() need zero changes. The cost: S4U carries no network credential,
which the node never needed -- everything it touches is local disk plus
outbound internet. Creating the task needs admin (a boot trigger touches
system-wide scheduler state, the same reason /sc onlogon needed it);
querying/starting/stopping an existing one does not -- Task Scheduler
grants the owning user that much itself, which is what lets the Node
page's Start/Stop/Restart drive it with no further UAC prompts.
meshbay_node/platform.py
service_install/_remove/_status/_run/_end -- mirrors autostart_* but
for the Scheduled Task; TASK_NAME moved here (was decorative before)
meshbay_node/daemon.py
new `service install|remove|start|stop|status` verb; restart-daemon and
reset now check for the service task too
packaging/win/service.ps1
the installer-side equivalent (extraResource); status/run/end never
self-elevate -- only install/remove do, exactly matching what
Task Scheduler itself requires
packaging/win/service-mode.ps1
ONE elevated helper running service.ps1 + firewall.ps1 together, so
choosing service mode costs exactly one UAC prompt, not two
build/installer.nsh
the install-time choice: "run as a background service?" (one
elevation, both jobs) vs the existing per-user + separate firewall
question. Checked first, unelevated, so re-running setup with
everything already configured asks nothing. Uninstall offers the
matching one-elevation cleanup, default No.
src/main.js
winServiceTaskStatus/Run/End, wired into node:installed,
node:service-status/-stop/-restart and node:start: when the Scheduled
Task exists, drive it; otherwise fall back to the existing per-user
spawn/kill path. This is the hard requirement -- Start/Stop/Restart
from the Node page must work in either mode.
node-page.js / locales
a hint explaining why the per-user autostart toggle is absent when
service mode is active (info.mode from the backend, no new field to
gate on -- it just isn't sent in that case)
package.json: 0.1.0 -> 1.0.0.
Verified: electron-builder compiles the new NSIS choice logic and ships
all three scripts; service.ps1's S4U install fails cleanly (Access
denied) when run unelevated, and its status/run/end never touch "runas".
Cannot verify the elevated success path myself (no admin in this
session) -- that needs a real UAC click. Node suite 843 pass / 25 skip;
test_packaging_win.py pins the one-elevation property, the S4U flags,
and that main.js actually checks the service task in all three handlers.

Root cause of both reports: node:service-status's `installed` field was
winAutostartInstalled() -- whether the Startup-folder launcher exists --
not whether the daemon can be managed at all. The Node page gates
Stop/Restart on `installed`, so with no autostart configured (the default
-- nothing installs it automatically) those buttons silently never
rendered, leaving only Start. A perfectly manageable daemon looked
unmanageable because a different, unrelated setting was off.
installed now reflects the actual daemon binary (findNodeBinary()), same
definition node:installed already used; autostart moves to its own field
carrying what installed used to mean.
That field also fixes the other half: there was no way to turn autostart
on except the CLI. NodeServicePanel now shows a toggle-switch next to
Start/Stop/Restart, wired through a new platform.node.autostart
(install/remove) that mirrors the existing service.* pattern -- the
preload/main.js bridge (W3) was already there, just never called from the
interface. English and French strings; other locales fall back to English
per the project's own stated policy (test_locales.py's own docstring).
Verified: node --check on every edited file; hub/node suites green
(863 pass, 0 fail — pre-existing test_locales.py encoding failures on
this Windows checkout are unrelated, reproduced identically on the
clean tree).

spawnNodeDetached() and the Linux dev-mode fallback in node:start called
spawn() with no 'error' listener. A spawn failure -- bad path, a stale
PATH entry, antivirus interference -- is delivered on that event
asynchronously; with nothing listening, Node rethrows it as an uncaught
exception and takes the whole Electron main process down with it, instead
of the caller's own waitForNode() timeout turning "never came up" into a
clean message.
Hit directly: ENOENT spawning a stale dev-venv meshbay-node.exe (not the
installed one -- where.exe correctly resolves to the bundled exe now).
Whatever the trigger, a daemon that fails to start must never be able to
take the renderer down with it.

Every run of customInstall showed the "Allow MeshBay through Windows
Firewall?" question and, on Yes, a fresh UAC prompt -- an upgrade or repair
install would ask again even with all four rules already in place.
customInstall now checks first: firewall.ps1 check, unelevated
(Get-NetFirewallRule needs no admin, only New/Remove do), exits 0 if every
rule already exists. Only a nonzero result reaches the MessageBox and the
elevated add. A second run of setup on an already-configured machine now
asks nothing.
Verified unelevated: check exits 1 and logs which rules are missing on a
machine with none of them (the fresh-install case); electron-builder
compiles the nsExec::Exec / Pop $0 / ${If} wiring. Node suite 837 pass /
25 skip.

Installing used to mean clicking through two separate Windows "Allow
access" prompts later — one for MeshBay.exe, one for meshbay-node.exe —
each confusing on its own and worse before the exe carried a version
resource. Adding a firewall rule needs admin, and the installer is
deliberately per-user with no elevation, so this can only ever be opt-in.
packaging/win/firewall.ps1 (new, shipped as an extraResource at
resources\firewall.ps1): idempotent add/remove of the two inbound UDP
rules ("MeshBay", "MeshBay Node"), grouped, logged to
%TEMP%\meshbay-firewall.log. Locates both executables from its own path,
no arguments needed beyond the action.
build/installer.nsh: customInstall asks "Allow MeshBay through Windows
Firewall now?" and runs firewall.ps1 via NSIS ExecShellWait "runas" — one
UAC prompt — only when not ${Silent}; declining or dismissing UAC falls
back to Windows' own per-process prompts, unchanged. customUnInstall
offers the same in reverse, defaulted to No (a stale rule for a deleted
exe is inert, so this should not nag on the way out) and skipped for a
silent uninstall.
Verified: rebuilt MeshBay-Setup-0.1.0.exe (electron-builder compiles the
new LogicLib.nsh / ExecShellWait NSIS successfully); firewall.ps1 run
unelevated fails cleanly into its log ("Access is denied") rather than
silently doing nothing, confirming the fallback path. Node suite 835
pass / 25 skip.

Chromium replaces host candidates with random `<uuid>.local` mDNS names.
aioice has no mDNS resolver on any platform: it logs `Remote candidate
"<uuid>.local" could not be resolved` and drops the candidate. Concealment
therefore does not degrade for us, it deletes the only LAN-routable
candidate and leaves reflexive pairs -- which fail whenever both peers are
behind the same NAT, because that pair needs the router to hairpin.
Measured with a Linux client and a node in a libvirt guest: exactly one pair
formed, host -> srflx on a shared public address, five binding requests, zero
responses, FAILED after 63 s. The same log shows a peer on the guest's own
subnet succeeding in 24 ms with a real-IP host candidate.
5022f2b scoped this to win32 from a session where the guest ran the *client*,
so the condition encoded "the machine being debugged" rather than "the peer
is a node". The peer is always a node, on every platform.
The trade is that our private address reaches the hub and the node in the
SDP -- the user's own infrastructure, not an arbitrary page.

The installer had no console entry point, so running the CLI meant cd-ing
into resources\node-runtime\ every time. installer.nsh now adds that dir to
HKCU\Environment\Path on install and removes it on uninstall, via stock
WordFunc.nsh (electron-builder's NSIS bundle has no EnVar plugin). It points
at the real meshbay-node.exe dir — not a shim — so `where meshbay-node`,
findNodeBinary and the W3 autostart launcher all resolve to the same binary.
A WM_SETTINGCHANGE broadcast nudges open shells; new ones just work.
Rebuilt: electron-builder --win nsis compiles the WordFunc includes fine,
MeshBay-Setup-0.1.0.exe (155 MB). test_packaging_win.py covers the add/remove
symmetry.

`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.

The Linux node runs under `systemctl --user`. Windows has no per-user
equivalent that works without elevation: `schtasks /create /sc ONLOGON`
(even `/rl LIMITED /it`) fails with "Access is denied" for a non-admin
user, because a logon trigger touches machine-wide scheduler state.
So autostart is a `.vbs` in the per-user Startup folder instead:
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run Chr(34) & "<exe>" & Chr(34), 0, False
wscript runs it at every sign-in, hidden (0) and non-blocking. No admin,
no console window, no new dependency. Verified end to end: the launcher
brings the daemon up with no window and it answers its loopback API.
node/platform.py
autostart_install/remove/status — write / delete / detect the launcher
autostart_run/end — start now (DETACHED|NO_WINDOW) / taskkill
_node_exe — PATH, then next to sys.executable, then argv[0]
node/daemon.py
new `autostart install|remove|start|stop|status` verb
reload (win32) -> POST /api/reload on the loopback API
restart-daemon (win32) -> autostart_end + autostart_run
reset (win32) -> also removes the launcher
client/main.js, preload.js
node:autostart handler + winAutostart* helpers (kept in step with platform.py)
node:service-status (win32) probes the daemon; stop/restart/start use
taskkill + a detached, windowless spawn
Tests: 8 autostart cases in test_platform.py (mocked sys.platform, APPDATA
pointed at tmp); `autostart status` added to the CLI dispatch sweep. Full
meshbay-node suite green on Windows (784 passed / 34 skipped).
Still open: no CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT handler, so a bare taskkill / window close
does not run _shutdown() (SetConsoleCtrlHandler, follow-up). Service mode
(pywin32/NSSM) stays Phase 2.

Chromium's P2P socket manager failed every STUN hostname with
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED in a restricted-resolver environment (a Windows KVM
guest), even though its own general network stack, the OS resolver and
Node's resolver all resolved the same names -- and mapping the names to IPs
with --host-resolver-rules changed nothing, so it is not ordinary
resolution. WebRTC was left with no server-reflexive candidate.
The desktop client now resolves the STUN hostnames in the main process
(`ice:resolve-stun`, Node's dns.resolve4) and hands `transport.js` the
IP form; a name that will not resolve (the decommissioned Mozilla host) is
dropped. In a browser there is no `meshbay` bridge and the hostnames are
used unchanged -- a browser resolves them fine, so that path is untouched.
Falls back to the hostname form if the bridge call throws.
Also, scoped to win32: disable WebRtcHideLocalIpsWithMdns, so the client
publishes its real local IP instead of a `.local` name the node's ICE stack
cannot resolve across the KVM bridge. Changes nothing on Linux/macOS.
Test-env workaround, revisit before release.

package twice
Chromium CVEs are fixed in Electron releases, and a client built against
an old one ships those holes to every user. That is a certain harm; a
build that breaks on a new Electron is a repairable one. build-client.sh
now bumps to the latest on every build, prints the comparison, and lets
the build fail if it cannot cope — the failure is the signal to fix, not
a reason to stay behind. It writes package.json and the lockfile on
purpose: the new pin is meant to be committed. A registry it cannot reach
is a warning, not a failure.
Exercised by pinning back to 42.9.2 and building: "==> Electron 42.9.2 ->
44.1.1", exit 0, electron=44.1.1 in the packaged output. Note npm audit
would have said nothing about any of this — Chromium CVEs fixed in
Electron do not reliably reach the npm advisory database.
Separately, package.json declared linux.target [deb, rpm] with its own
deb/rpm depends, so `npm run dist` built a second package under the same
name. The two had drifted: /opt/MeshBay/meshbay-client against
/opt/meshbay-client/meshbay, and Depends: python3-meshbay-common naming
none of the Electron runtime libraries the real DEBIAN/control lists — it
would have installed cleanly and then refused to start. Nothing in the
tree referenced `npm run dist`, which is why the drift was free to
happen. That config is gone, "dist" delegates to build-client.sh, and
test_desktop_shell.py refuses its return.
`--dir` was re-run with no linux block at all: exit 0, same binary
build-client.sh consumes. It needs appId, productName and files, nothing
else.

electron-builder warned `author is missed in the package.json` on every
build, including the `--dir` one build-client.sh runs, and refused the
deb/rpm targets outright over it and over a missing homepage. Both were
pre-existing — builder 25 emitted the identical warning — and had simply
never been hit, because those targets had never been built.
The values are copied verbatim from packaging/deb/meshbay-client/DEBIAN/
control, which already declared them, so the two cannot disagree.
Not added: `desktopName`, despite the warning that asks for it. The path
this project actually ships (build-client.sh + packaging/desktop/
meshbay.desktop) already sets StartupWMClass=MeshBay, and src/main.js
sets --class to match for dev runs. The warning concerns the .desktop
electron-builder generates for its own deb/rpm targets, which is not what
gets installed.
That is the larger thing found here and left open: `npm run dist` defines
a second, incompatible layout for a package of the same name —
/opt/MeshBay/meshbay-client against /opt/meshbay-client/meshbay. See
~/next/npm-audit.md §9.

npm audit reported 12 findings (11 high, 1 critical), every one transitive
and every one reached through electron-builder. The critical was tar
(<=7.5.20), a family of path-traversal and symlink-poisoning advisories.
electron-builder is a devDependency and build.files is src/** and ui/**,
so none of it ships: the exposure was to whoever builds a release, not to
users. Real, since a build machine producing signed artefacts is worth
attacking, but it should not have been read as "the client has a critical
vulnerability".
electron-builder ^26.15.3 takes the audit to 0 on its own. It is a major,
so it was measured rather than assumed: a --dir Linux build passed before
and after, and the config used here (appId, files, linux.target,
deb/rpm.depends) is nowhere near where 26's breaking changes are. The
produced app.asar is not byte-identical to 25's, which matters only for
18.7's hash-and-compare story and is a release note, not a defect.
electron ^42.11.1 is a patch bump inside the range already declared, where
Electron ships its security backports. The built binary was launched under
xvfb: two processes alive after 25s, empty log. That is the part that
counts — test_desktop_shell.py pins the security contract by reading
source, so it would stay green through any runtime regression.
protobufjs's override floor goes ^7.5.5 -> ^7.6.5. The override itself is
load-bearing and must stay: removing it drops castv2-client's protobufjs
to 6.11.6, which carries a critical RCE advisory — and unlike everything
above, protobufjs ships inside the application. But ^7.5.5 permitted 7.5.5,
which is inside a high advisory's range (<=7.6.4); npm happened to resolve
7.6.6, so the protection was incidental rather than structural.
Electron 44 is deliberately not taken here: two majors and a different
Chromium, and nothing in the suite would notice a regression. It needs its
own launch session.
Audit and evidence: ~/next/npm-audit.md (not in the repo).

The QUIC MNP listener was started unconditionally whenever aioquic was
importable — but nothing speaks QUIC: the browser and desktop clients
use WebRTC, QuicChunkClient has no production caller, and the hub-less
`group://` sidecar (D9) is unbuilt. So on every node it was an open
UDP port with no client and no working NAT traversal (`punch_nat()`
is a direct-connection helper, not a traversal stack).
daemon startup now gates QuicChunkServer on
`self._config.node.quic_enabled` (default False; `MESHBAY_QUIC_ENABLED`
overrides). The generated node.toml templates (config.py, the CLI, the
desktop client) carry the line, commented for what it is.
Removes the exposure the third review's M2 lives on until a QUIC
client exists; the parity fix for the handlers themselves is the next
commit.
Third security review, finding M2 (mitigation).

Needed for the paired meshbay-hub commit that makes the registration
captcha unconditional (M1): the desktop client renders the same
RegisterPage widget the browser does, which needs its script, its
challenge iframe and its assets to load.
script-src, the new frame-src, and img-src now allow exactly
https://www.google.com and https://www.gstatic.com, and nothing else
external — the hub's own origin is still absent from script-src, so
T3 (nothing the hub returns is executed) is unaffected. This is a
one-time source change: it ships identical in every build via
`files: ["src/**"]` in electron-builder's config, with no build step,
packaging step, or installer action for anyone to perform, and no
setting for an end user to touch.
test_desktop_shell.py updated to pin the exception precisely: the
reCAPTCHA hosts are the *only* external origins allowed anywhere in
the policy, and a bare `https:` scheme is still refused in script-src.
Third security review, finding M1 (Option A, desktop half).

Shared venv architecture: meshbay-common owns the Python venv with all
pip deps pre-installed; hub and node add only their code into it.
Client is a standalone Electron app. No pip runs at install time.
- Add build scripts (packaging/build/) for common, hub, node, client
- Add orchestrator build-packages.sh with deb/rpm auto-detection
- Add .deb control/postinst for all 4 packages
- Add .rpm specs for all 4 packages (replaces python3-meshbay-common)
- Add Gnome .desktop launcher and icon resizing
- Add firewalld services (meshbay-cast, meshbay-node) and UFW profiles
- Update systemd units to use /opt/meshbay-common/venv/bin/ paths
- TMDB token baked into node package at build time via QE/node.env
- Fix package-lock.json sync for protobufjs override

Wizard (Electron):
- Auto-provisions node config (hub URL + username) from logged-in user
- node:start handles both cold start and restart of misconfigured daemon
- Waits for daemon to reach 'running', auto-links node key on hub

Reset (meshbay-node reset):
- Unlinks node key from hub (DELETE /me/node_key, best-effort)
- Stops and disables daemon (systemctl --user disable --now)
- Erases ~/.config/meshbay, ~/.local/share/meshbay, ~/.local/state/meshbay
MusicBrainz contact:
- Resolved from owner's hub email instead of per-node roster config
- Removed musicbrainz_contact UI and WebRTC handshake field
- Removed set_musicbrainz_contact/musicbrainz_contact from roster
Node pairing:
- Added operator pairing banner on NodePage
- Added operator_paired flag to list_groups

Adds build/icon.png (1024x1024, cropped/upscaled from QE/meshbay-logo-v2.jpg)
at electron-builder's default buildResources path, so packaged .deb/.rpm
builds get a real icon instead of Electron's stock one. The generic `build/`
gitignore rule (Python artifacts) was swallowing this legitimate source
directory, so it gets an explicit exception.
BrowserWindow now points at the same file for its own icon, and the process
runs with --class=MeshBay so a dev run's WM_CLASS matches the StartupWMClass
electron-builder derives from productName for the packaged app — kept
consistent, even though the launcher/dash icon match itself only resolves
once a .desktop file exists (i.e. after packaging, not in dev).

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.

Add a status panel at the top of the Node page — always visible, even
before an MNP connection exists — showing the meshbay-node systemd
unit's own state (via `systemctl --user show`, main process only) with
Start/Stop/Restart controls. This is the piece the rest of the page
cannot provide: it has to work while the daemon is stopped or crash-
looping, which the MNP-based sections require the daemon to already
answer.
While touching node lifecycle: `reload` and `restart-daemon` in the
CLI shelled out to pgrep + SIGTERM/SIGHUP and respawned the process by
hand, logging to a hardcoded /tmp path. That pattern already SIGHUPed
a developer's own running node by accident once (see the old
test_cli_dispatch.py comment). Both now delegate to
`systemctl --user reload|restart meshbay-node`, which the unit already
supports correctly (ExecReload=, Restart=on-failure).

Node daemon no longer blocks startup on slow directory scans — initial
indexing runs in the background so the node reaches "running" immediately
after transports are up. Fixes the wizard failing to detect the node when
large USB/NAS roots take minutes to scan.
Also: wizard key-linking deadlock resolved (main.js links during poll),
invite form stays in DOM during reconnects (disabled instead of destroyed),
pairing code bridges to renderer, and firewall docs for LAN casting added.

When the wizard calls node:start with {hubUrl, username}, the handler
writes a minimal node.toml and a random unlock.key if they don't exist.
The daemon then creates the keystore on first start using the unlock
file — fully non-interactive.
Existing configs are left untouched: if node.toml or unlock.key already
exist, provisioning is skipped and the node starts as before.

Desktop client guides new users through the full onboarding sequence
without a terminal: detect local node → start daemon (systemd with
direct-start fallback for dev) → link node key to hub → create group →
attach directories → gek-init → operator pair.
- node:detect returns configured field to distinguish missing vs stopped
- node:start tries systemctl first, checks is-active, falls back to
spawning the binary directly when the unit crashes (dev mode)
- probeNode() extracts the shared config→token→fetch pattern
- SetupWelcome on empty HomePage links to /create-group
- CreateGroupWizard step 0 handles node detection and start
- platform.js exposes node.installed() and node.start()
- 12 setup.* i18n keys added to all 10 locales
- Integration test for node:start fallback logic

Re-serve decrypted fMP4 video over HTTP on the LAN so a Chromecast can
play the stream. The relay runs in the Electron main process — same trust
boundary as downloads and MSE playback.
- cast-relay.js: HTTP server with BoxAccumulator (reassembles WebRTC
chunks into moof+mdat pairs), ring buffer, backpressure, finish() for
clean end-of-stream, fixed port range 19550-19553
- cast-chromecast.js: mDNS discovery (bonjour-service) + CASTV2 protocol
(castv2-client), connect/reload/disconnect lifecycle
- Seek-aware: relay restarts on every seek, Chromecast reloads new URL;
generation counter prevents stale async errors from killing active
restarts; landingPlayheadRef suppresses programmatic seeking events
- Device picker in video top bar with scan, device selection, copy-URL
fallback, and cast status indicator
- IPC bridge (main/preload/platform) for start/push/stop/finish/status/
discover/chromecastConnect/chromecastReload/chromecastDisconnect
- Phase 3 design doc for DLNA/Smart TV in docs/cast-smart-tv.md

Create Group wizard (Electron-only) consolidates 6 steps across 4 interfaces
into a single multi-step page: group creation on hub, node attachment, root
selection via folder picker, GEK initialization, and auto-pairing — all in one
flow. Browser SPA keeps its current behavior unchanged.
Public group support (Option A — GEK for all groups):
- All groups have GEK regardless of visibility; open-join groups auto-admit
via TOFU when join_policy is "open"
- Key rotation blocked for public groups (API guard + UI hidden)
- Hub signaling allows WebRTC offers for nodes hosting open-join groups even
when the caller isn't a member yet
- attach_group writes join_policy to node.toml
- Daemon loads GEK for all groups, not just private ones
- Known-device path in join_request now auto-admits to open-join groups
Node loopback API bridge (Electron IPC):
- node:detect, node:call, node:pairing-code IPC handlers in main process
- Renderer never sees tokens, paths, or keys (session token = physical access)
- platform.js node namespace for UI consumption
- Loopback endpoints: roots CRUD, member-upload toggle, reload
Bug fixes:
- Root change detection: removed premature ctx["roots"] updates from add_root
and remove_root that prevented indexer retarget on reload
- Duplicate offline message: global fallback now gated on !group
- Signaling membership check: fallback to open-join groups for non-members
Sidebar groups sorted by last_activity_at (most recent first):
- New Group.last_activity_at column with Alembic migration
- POST /v1/groups/{id}/activity endpoint, called on connect and chat send
- Client-side sort + throttled hub updates (1/min)
