FilesMixin in transport/webrtc/files.py; the blocking disk helpers join
_locate in webrtc/disk.py, and the lease states go to webrtc/limits.py.

The plan was a working document; what it decided lives in
MESHBAY_DESIGN.md and MESHBAY_NODE_PROTOCOL.md. Code and tests now
cite those instead.

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,
docs/invite-links.md.

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.

The pass before this applied ruff's own fixes. These are the ones needing a
decision, and the point of doing them is that `ruff check .` now passes: a
linter reporting 98 known-acceptable findings reports nothing, because the next
real one arrives invisible.
**Lines over 100 (70).** Mostly wrapped where they stood. Two exceptions: the
aligned trailing comments in `protocol.py`'s message table were shortened rather
than wrapped, because wrapping one row of a table breaks the table; and in
`models.py` the column comments moved above their columns for the same reason.
**Imports below the first statement (14).** `csam.py` kept its FastAPI imports
under a section header halfway down the file; two node tests had a constant and
a `pytestmark` wedged between two import blocks. Moved, not suppressed.
**Bindings nothing reads (4).** Three in tests, where the call stays and only the
name goes — `_user(client, "listener")` is there to create the user, not to
return one. The fourth was in `revocation.py` and was not a lint finding at all:
`_connect_and_listen` opened an httpx stream to the WebSocket URL, did `pass`,
and then opened the real connection through the `websockets` library. One
pointless request per connect, left over from before that library was used
directly. Removed, and `httpx` with it.
**`l` as a name (4)**, **semicolons (6)** in the POC spikes, and the rest.
2893 passed, the same count as the two commits before it.
`meshbay_node/revocation.py` is worth a decision separately: 154 lines that
nothing imports, superseded by `hub_client.maintain_ws`'s `on_revocation`. This
commit only stopped it failing the linter.

`ruff check .` had gone unrun long enough to report 568 errors, which is the
same as having no linter: the next real finding would have been invisible in the
noise. This is the 521 it fixes by itself, in 173 files, and nothing else — the
98 it cannot fix are the next commit.
What actually changed: import sorting (225), imports nobody used (87, none of
them a re-export — no `__init__.py` is touched, which was the one way this could
have broken an import elsewhere), `datetime.timezone.utc` to `datetime.UTC` (69)
and `asyncio.TimeoutError` to `TimeoutError` (18), both plain aliases on the 3.12
this project requires, `Optional[X]` to `X | None` (24), and f-strings with
nothing to interpolate (19).
Checked rather than assumed: every module in the three packages still imports,
and the suite is 2893 passed — the same count, test for test, as the merge
before it.

The per-feature design notes were merged into docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md and
deleted from the tree on 2026-09-11, but ~230 comments across the three
packages still named them — usually written `docs/musicbay.md §3.2`, as
though the file were still in docs/. A reader had to know §16 existed to
resolve any of them. They now name the section directly.
Every mapping comes from §16, the concordance, which already records where
each old section landed: musicbay -> §9.8, mediacenter -> §9.7 for the
Videos app and §6.5 where the subject is derived data, photos -> §9.9,
auth-confirm -> §3.6, refactoring-search -> §9.11, invite-pairing-v1 ->
§3.4, per-node-identity-v1 -> §3.2, captcha -> §7.7, chat-sender-keys ->
§4.5, apps/refactor-groups -> §9.1–§9.4, desktop-client-v1 per section.
Bare citations of the same documents (`draft-v6 §2.11`, `§4.8`, `§3.4`)
are retargeted too: those collide with real section numbers in the design
document, so leaving them would have been worse than the named form.
Four cases the concordance does not cover, each decided rather than guessed:
Sub-item references into documents that no longer exist — mediacenter's
`§3.3 row 4`, `§3.4b/c`, `apps.md §3b` — name rows and sub-items §9.7 and
§9.2 do not reproduce. The module-level citation stays; the sub-item
pointer is dropped.
The V-findings keep their labels but lose the dead `§10.1/` prefix.
§13.8 lists V1–V13 as per-application open items, which is not what the
labels mean in these comments, so pointing them at §13.8 would have been
a false citation.
`apps.md §5`'s virtualization requirement has no counterpart anywhere in
the design document. The requirement is stated in the comment itself, so
the citation is dropped rather than aimed at a section that does not say
it.
Comments that attributed a *sentence* to an old note — musicbay's "several
thousand files" example, its "what got measured" note, its measured
~11%/~26% cover-art figures, the "original no root, whole shared tree"
call — state the fact without attribution now. §9.8 does not contain those
sentences and citing it for them would have been wrong.
CLAUDE.md's "a reference to a document that no longer exists" row now says
the concordance is for git history and out-of-tree material; the code cites
sections directly.
Verified: 2851 passed, 4 skipped. The 12 errors in the run are the Firefox
leg of test_sticky_header.py's browser harness, which is broken at the
browser level on this machine — headless Firefox (snap) dies with
`[GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer`, renders
nothing, and the probe exits `{"error": "no measurement"}` after its full
90s wait. Chrome runs the same 12 assertions in 3.2s and passes. Nothing
here can affect it: every changed line in style.css is inside a comment.
Also checked: ast.parse on every changed .py, `node --check` on every
changed .js, the /* */ balance in style.css, and that no changed line
exceeds the width its file already used.

MSE decodes no in-band text track, so a subtitle cannot ride inside the
fragmented MP4 the player is fed. The node extracts one track whole, converts
it to WebVTT and caches it under its own hash; the client pulls that blob
through the ordinary file_req/chunk path and hangs a <track> on the video
element — the same indirection as a TMDB poster or an audio transcode, which
is what makes a film's subtitles extracted once in the life of the file rather
than once per viewing. Whole-file also makes the cues absolute, so a seek and
an audio-language change both leave the track untouched.
**The ordinal counts every subtitle stream, including the ones never listed.**
Only text codecs are offered: a bitmap track (PGS, VOBSUB — about a fifth of a
real library) has no path to WebVTT without OCR, and one extracted anyway
yields a header with no cues, which is a menu entry that shows nothing and
reports no error. Numbering the survivors of that filter would give a
PGS/SRT/SRT file the ordinals 0 and 1 for its text tracks and `-map 0:s:0`
would then extract the PGS — the same trap `AudioTrack.ordinal` exists for,
one level deeper. A fixture whose first subtitle stream cannot be decoded pins
it, and the handler checks membership of the probed list, never a range.
Additive and MINOR: the selector is drawn from `subtitle_tracks` in the node's
own `stream_init` and from no version number, so `subtitle_req` is never sent
to a peer that would not answer it. The floor stays at 3.0.
Also here: a failed extraction never touches playback, a superseded reply
cannot install its blob over a newer choice, and `_languageName` is shared
with the audio labels — lifted by both label harnesses, since a lift that
names one function stops covering the rule the moment logic moves out of it.
Tests: 9 node (tracks told apart by the words in the extracted cues, not by
tags), 10 client. Full suite green: 1545 node/common, 1252 hub.

The streaming path mapped 0:a:0 unconditionally, so a dubbed film played in
whichever language was muxed first and the others were unreachable. The node
now enumerates the tracks in stream_init and honours audio_track in
stream_req; switching is the seek path, since one ffmpeg carries one track.
MNP 3.2, additive: the player draws its selector from the node's own list and
never from a version number, so an older node is never asked for a track it
would ignore. MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED does not move.

One row per playlist plus a manifest, so starring a track rewrites that
playlist rather than the whole collection. blob_enc is a BLOB, not
base64 TEXT: these run to hundreds of kilobytes.
user_id comes from the session and never from the message; kind is
validated against a pattern; every cap refuses with a stated reason
rather than truncating.
Additive, so MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED does not move — a 3.0 node answers
"unknown message type" and the client writes to the next one it reaches.

`search_listed` is a per-group setting on the node, changed by a signed
operator op and carried in the sealed handshake ack. Search reads it after
the handshake and stops there: no index is fetched, cached or merged, in any
of the four views, and the page says how many groups it left out. The switch
is a "Search" section in the group's settings, shown to the operator.
Absent means listed, at every layer: roster default, ack default, and the
client only drops a group on an explicit `false` — so an upgrade or an older
node removes nothing from anyone's Search.
It is a listing preference and protects nothing: the node serves the same
index to Search and to the group page and cannot tell them apart, every
member lists the group by opening it, and a client that ignores the flag
lists it in Search too. Design §9.11 says so, so it is never described as
private. The cost is one handshake per unlisted group, because only the node
knows the setting.
Search also took `nodes[0]` twice — for the index and for the pooled
connection — the defect 4cce50f fixed on the group page only. One
`connectToGroup` now walks the list the same way: a refusal about this
browser stops, `not_hosted` or a failed connection moves on.

asyncio keeps only a weak reference to a task, so a coroutine started with
`asyncio.ensure_future(...)` whose result is discarded can be collected while
it is still running: the loop logs "Task was destroyed but it is pending!" and
the work simply does not happen. No error reaches the caller, and what is lost
is whatever that coroutine was in the middle of.
The node already had a guard for this, written after an abandoned stream task
lost a transcode slot for good — and it read one file, `webrtc_server.py`,
because that is where the defect was found. Outside that file there were
nineteen sites: the hub's `chat_notify` (a notification for every member of a
group), the indexer's debounce (every real-time index update), eleven in
`daemon.py` including the SIGHUP reload and each enrichment pass, two in
`ops.py`, and five in the loopback API.
`meshbay_common.background.spawn()` is the one door. It holds the task, drops
it when it finishes, and logs what it raised under the coroutine's own name —
an exception in a task nobody awaits was otherwise reported by asyncio at
collection time, out of context or not at all. A peer session's `_spawn` stays
as it is: that one can also *cancel* what it holds, which a module-level holder
cannot, because a session ends and a process does not.
`test_background_tasks.py` walks every package's source and refuses a discarded
handle. It parses rather than greps, so an assignment, a comprehension or an
await is not mistaken for one, and it was checked against a deliberate
reintroduction. A guard that stops at the edge of the file where the bug was
found is a guard against that bug, not against its class.

A node that hosts no groups sends no `group_ids` on its hub socket, and the
hub resolved the claim with `set(claimed_groups or authorized)` — so "I host
nothing" arrived as "I host every group this account belongs to", other
members' included. Such a node can serve none of them: it holds no GEK, and
its own handshake refuses them with "Group not hosted on this node".
`/v1/groups/{id}/nodes` answers in registration order and `_node_groups` is
in-memory, so which node a client was sent to depended on who reconnected
first after a hub restart. GroupPage took `nodes[0]` with no fallback. On
2026-09-11 a hub deploy at 20:14 reshuffled the registry, a second member's
unconfigured node won the race, and a group stopped opening for everyone in
it with its only real host online throughout. Any member could take one of
their groups down, by accident, by leaving an empty node running.
Four changes, because no one of them is sufficient:
- the hub never widens an absent claim, and `update_groups` goes through
the same ceiling as registration — it assigned its list verbatim, so the
bound that makes C2 hold at authentication was one message wide
- the node states the empty set rather than omitting the field
- the refusal carries `not_hosted`, so a client can tell "try the next
node" from "you, here, must do something first"
- GroupPage walks the list instead of indexing into it
The three lines involved date from 13, 20 and 23 August and each is
defensible alone. The defect is in the seam, which is where the last two
also were: a falsy empty collection must never mean "unspecified".

`video_root`, `audio_root` and `photo_roots` are gone — the messages, the
signed operations, the handlers, the `ops` wrappers, the three scalars on the
handshake ack, and the client's handlers for their acks. `app_directories`
does the same thing for every application, keyed by the app's own registry
name, and it is what the SPA has been sending.
The three were the same instruction three times, differing only in the key they
wrote and whether they carried a string or a list. That shape is what made
adding an application mean adding a message type, an op, a handler and a widget;
it also meant three validation paths, and the older ones validated nothing —
a typo was stored and then quietly matched no entry, an app showing an empty tab
with no way to tell "misconfigured" from "no files yet".
**What stays, and why.** `Roster.LEGACY_DIR_KEYS` still reads `video_root` and
friends out of `group_settings`: that is a key on an operator's disk, not on the
wire, and a node upgraded into this must find its own configuration. The Search
page still reads its own older cache keys, for the same reason — the cache
outlives a deploy. `CTX_ALIASES` keeps only `chat`, which is the one app whose
second name something still reads.
The two per-app policy test files go with the messages. What only they held —
the real challenge/response path from message to database, which no other test
exercises — is retargeted at `app_directories` in
`test_app_directories_signed.py`, and the handler's own refusals (unknown app,
malformed `directories`, nobody to authorize it) join `test_app_directories.py`.
Node and common suites 1368 passed.

311 lines of Signal Double Ratchet and 167 lines of tests for it, with no
caller: group chat is a key per group, per epoch, per device, and a ratchet was
ruled out for it on the record — a node that serves history to devices which
were not present has to hand out each chain's earliest key, which is forward
secrecy of zero.
Deleted for the same reason `senderkeys.py` was: an implementation kept for a
use nobody has reads as an alternative somebody may reach for, and its cost is
paid at every refactor that has to keep it compiling. The four comments that
mention a ratchet keep doing so — they explain why this is not one, which is
the part worth keeping.
Common suite 158 passed.

`senderkeys.py` and its 13 tests implemented Signal-style sender keys, and
production has never called them: chat is a key per group, per epoch, per
device, derived by name. The reasoning that ruled the ratchet out stays where it
belongs — in `chatbox.py`, at the top of the module that replaced it — because
the argument is the useful part, and it now stands on its own instead of
pointing at a file to compare against.
Kept code that nothing calls is worse than absent code: it reads as an
alternative somebody may reach for, and it has to be maintained past every
refactor to stay compiling, which is maintenance spent on a decision already
made.
The three comments naming `GroupSenderKeyStore` are rewritten to say the thing
they were illustrating.

The group-wide `member_upload` switch is gone: the message, the signed
operation, the field on the handshake ack, the `upload` alias on every root in
the index payload, and the client's fallback path to it.
Whether a member may write has been a property of each root for a while, and
that is the model that survives: a single flag over the group cannot express
"this library is published read-only and that folder is a drop box", which is
the ordinary arrangement. What was left of the switch was a handler that logged
a deprecation and acted on nothing, and a client that read `ack.member_upload`
whenever the roots carried no `writable` — a second source for one question,
with whichever the code consulted first deciding it.
`roots.describe()` drops `upload` for the same reason: it was `writable` under
an older name, and two names for one boolean is one too many.
The paperclip now says "nowhere to write" rather than picking a root, in a group
that has none writable. That is the honest answer; the fallback picked whatever
came first and failed at send time.
Node suite 1215 passed.

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.

Stage 8 of ~/next/improve-downloads.md, second half, plus the gap it exposed in
stage 7.
**Asking where to resume.** The node identifies an upload by (member,
directory, filename), so a client resuming one has to name the file — and
`transfer_open`, the obvious place to ask, travels in clear. Naming it there
would undo exactly what sealing this path bought in MNP 2.0: before it, the same
file was ciphertext leaving a node and plaintext arriving at one. So the
question is asked inside the seal that already exists, as an ordinary
`file_upload` with no bytes and `chunk_index: -1`. The node writes nothing,
creates no state, reserves no name, and answers with `resume_from` in the sealed
ack. A node that predates it refuses the index, which the client reads as "start
from the beginning" — the behaviour it had anyway — and the wait is bounded so
one that answers neither does not strand an upload.
The probe is answered after every check the write path makes, so it cannot ask
questions about a directory the caller may not write to, and it answers only
about the member who asks: otherwise one member could measure another's
progress on a file they never sent, and worse, resume it.
**Pausing an upload.** Reported: no pause button on an upload, even in the
desktop app. Stage 7 built pause around the download path — a target declares
whether it can be stopped — and an upload has no local target to ask. It was
also refused by design, since a transfer handed a lease it cannot re-create must
not be offered a button that would drop its slot for good. Uploads now ask for
their slot rather than being handed one, and say they are pausable outright: a
File is seekable and the node keeps the position. Resuming re-probes rather than
trusting the client's own memory, so it works across a reconnect too.
**And the slot they hold.** `_do_file_upload` never called `slots.touch(tr)`.
Chunks are not gated by the lease, so the file arrived — but the node reclaimed
a grant nobody appeared to be using after thirty seconds, twice, then abandoned
it, and the widget follows the lease. Measured from the journal: a 3.5 GB upload
read "waiting, 0 ahead" for a minute and a half while it was transferring. The
download twin of this was fixed on 2026-09-08; the same omission was still here,
invisible until uploads took a real lease.
`test_the_upload_itself_is_sealed` now checks every message `uploadFile` sends
rather than the first. Adding the probe put a second one in front of the one it
was written for, and it would have kept passing while guarding nothing.
Node suite 1202 passed, hub suite 850 passed.

Step 3 of ~/next/improve-downloads.md. Step 2 built the pools with constants;
this gives them to the operator, in the two scopes they belong to.
**The pools are the machine's.** `[node] max_concurrent_downloads` and
`max_concurrent_uploads`, default 8, on the §2.11 pattern: node.toml for a
fresh install, a roster.db override for immediate effect, editable from the
Node page and from `meshbay-node transfers show|set`, applied live through the
one `set_capacity` step 1 fixed.
**The per-member cap is a group's.** How many transfers one member may run at
once here — on the node like every other group setting (not the hub, which
would have authority over someone else's disk; not node.toml, which is
hand-written and needs a restart), changed by a signed operator instruction
(`OP_TRANSFER_LIMITS`, subject "d=2,u=2" so what is signed names the outcome),
broadcast to the group, and read live by the pools.
That was the one thing step 2's shape could not express: `per_member` was a
single node-wide number. `group_limits` and `member_cap(kind, member)` make it
a lookup — the group's own value if it has one, the node's default otherwise —
and it is deliberately the only dimension that is not node-wide.
Three refusals, each with a test:
- **absent means the default (2), never "unlimited".** A group that predates
the setting coming back unlimited would leave the node-wide pool as the only
control, which is the situation slots exist to end;
- **zero is not "unlimited"**, and is not "this member may not transfer"
either: the floor is one everywhere, and the CLI says to revoke the member
instead;
- **an unreadable row reads as unset**, not as zero — the same discipline the
sealed messages follow, where a payload that does not open must never become
a default state on its own.
`handshake_ack` carries this member's own caps for this group, so the interface
can say "2 of your 2 slots are busy" instead of drawing a bare spinner. Absent
reads as "no limit known" and the hint is not drawn — never as "unlimited",
which would have the interface contradicting the node.

Step 2 of ~/next/improve-downloads.md. A download is invisible to the node: it
is a series of independent `file_req` messages, with nothing saying one started
or ended, so there is nothing to count and nothing to cap. The lease is that
missing object.
`meshbay_node/transfers.py` holds the decisions and has no asyncio and no
transport in it, on purpose. The failure modes this has to survive — a slot the
node never gets back, a client waiting on a grant the node has forgotten — are
races through a DataChannel and unprovable there; here the clock is a parameter
and every method returns what changed, so the caller does the I/O and the tests
drive the worst case directly.
What it decides:
- two pools, downloads and uploads, separate from the stream pool: different
resources with different costs, and merging them makes both caps meaningless;
- per-member cap checked *before* the node-wide one, so a member at their own
limit queues behind their own transfers rather than holding a slot a second
member has none of. Per account across their devices, or the cap becomes a
function of how many tabs somebody opens;
- a queue that skips a member at their cap instead of waiting for them —
granting strictly in arrival order lets one member's limit stall everyone;
- `tr` drawn by the client and idempotent, which is what makes a reconnect safe;
- bounded per member, because unbounded queues are how a node runs out of
memory politely.
Every way a slot comes back, with the session teardown as the one that matters
(a closed tab, a quit browser and a dead network all arrive at
`shutdown_tasks`, and none of them needs a timer): explicit close, session
gone, a grant nobody took up in 30 s passed to the next in line, and a granted
transfer silent for 120 s reclaimed with its peer told, so a widget can offer a
resume rather than sit on a lie.
`GET /api/transfers` is the operator's window: when somebody reports a transfer
stuck at waiting, it is the only thing that says whether the node ever had them
in a queue — a log cannot, when the symptom is that nothing is happening. It
carries no filename and no path, which a test pins, because this is exactly
where one would be tempting.
Three things found while writing it, two of them mine:
- the randomised property test rejected `in_use <= cap` at once, and it was
right to: lowering a cap never interrupts a running transfer, so the count
legitimately sits above the new value. The invariant is that a *new* grant
never happens past the cap;
- the sweeper was started with `self._spawn`, which ties a task to one
session's set. It died with whichever peer opened the first transfer, and
every other peer's abandoned lease then stopped being reclaimed — a node that
fills up over days with nothing in the log. It belongs to the node now, with
its strong reference on the transport context;
- the pools are node-wide while `_peer_registry` is per group (finding H1), so
a slot freed in one group can grant one in another and the peer to notify is
not in the notifier's registry. Silently wrong in the first version.
Nothing enforces a lease yet: `file_req` is untouched, no client asks, and the
node grants everything. That is step 4's flag day, and this lands alone.

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

`chatbox.py` said per-device subkey derivation means "two devices never share
an AES key". That is false in the deployment that exists, and stating it hid
the reason the design is actually safe.
Two clients of one account on one node normally hold the **same** identity key:
a second browser fetches the keypair bundle from the node and recovers the
existing key rather than minting a new one, and so does a fresh Electron
install. Device linking — a distinct key, countersigned — is the exception, not
the rule, which is why nobody is ever asked to pin anything when they open a
second browser. So two clients routinely share a device key and therefore its
chat subkey.
What makes that safe is the nonce, not the derivation: 96 random bits, never a
counter. Two independent senders under one key collide only on the birthday
bound, unreachable at chat volume; two independent senders advancing one
*counter* collide immediately, which is precisely what C1 and §15.0b are about.
The true property is "no mutable sending state at all" — the hazard removed
rather than partitioned — and the design therefore degrades correctly into the
deployment as it is, where a chain-based one would have failed silently on the
day someone opened a second tab.

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).

Downloads have been encrypted under a GEK-derived key since the beginning:
`file_chunk` and `stream_data` both go through `chunk_ciphertext`. Uploads
never were. `file_upload` carried the filename and the raw bytes in plain
msgpack, and `file_upload_ack` carried the name the node stored them under —
so the same file was ciphertext leaving a node and plaintext arriving at one.
There was no threat model behind that asymmetry.
Both halves now travel sealed under a third groupbox purpose,
HKDF(GEK, info="meshbay:upload:v1"). The filename, the destination folder and
the bytes are all inside the seal; only `upload_id` and `chunk_index` stay in
clear, because the node routes and orders on them before it can decrypt. This
direction seals *towards* the node — it holds the GEK for its own group — and
it opens the payload before it picks a destination or touches the disk.
What that forced, and why none of it is optional:
- `filename` was the correlation key on both sides. It cannot be: matching an
ack to its request by name would hand back exactly what the seal hides.
`upload_id` replaces it — client-drawn, opaque to the node, unique within a
connection, never an authorization input. The property it guarded (one
refusal fails one upload, not every upload in flight) is unchanged.
- Refusals can no longer quote what they refused. `No directory named 'X'`
becomes `No such directory in this group` plus the `code` that was already
there; the client knows what it sent.
- No plaintext fallback. A path that still accepts plaintext is not a sealed
path, so an unsealed `file_upload` is refused with `upload_not_sealed`.
Hardened while here, because what comes out of a seal is authenticated but not
validated — a member can seal anything: `filename` and `data` have their types
checked before any upload state is created, and `chunk_index`/`total_chunks`,
which are outside the seal by necessity, can no longer raise where a refusal
was meant.
Tests. `test_upload_sealed.py` pins the node half: nothing identifying on the
wire, tamper/wrong-key/wrong-group all refused with nothing written, and
multi-chunk reassembly unchanged. `test_upload_seal_client.py` drives the
shipped `uploadFile` over the shipped `crypto.js` under node and feeds its real
frames to the real `_do_file_upload` — the file lands intact, and the ack the
node actually produced comes back with the name it chose for a collision, which
is the half a source-reading test cannot see. Both upload purposes join the
JS/Python groupbox parity vectors.
BREAKING CHANGE: MNP 2.0. `file_upload`/`file_upload_ack` change shape on the
wire every deployed client speaks, which is MAJOR by the same rule 1.0 was —
but the break is confined to uploads. `MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED` stays at "1.0", so a
1.x peer still connects, browses, downloads, streams and chats; only its
uploads are refused, with a message saying which side is old. The client checks
the node's version before sending a chunk, so neither side meets this as a
timeout. This is the version negotiation shipped in 1.0 earning its keep: 1.0
cost a flag day, 2.0 costs a refusal code.

`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.

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

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

`video_root` (a string), `audio_root` (a string) and `photo_roots` (a list)
said the same thing three ways: three roster accessors, three ops, three MNP
messages, three admin-op subjects. They become `set_app_directories(app_key,
paths)` and its single-directory wrapper, stored under `<app>_directories` and
keyed by the app's registry name — so an application can be added without
touching this layer, which is the whole claim of the plugin architecture.
The three old names still work. Their MNP messages are handled, and the roster
falls back to the old key when the new one is unset, so a node upgraded into
this keeps working with no migration step — the plan called for a script, and
a script nobody runs on the machine where it matters is worse than a fallback.
Two things are new rather than moved:
The paths are validated. The setters this replaces accepted anything, so a
typo — or a path left behind when a root was removed — was stored happily and
then matched no entry, leaving an app showing an empty tab with nothing to
distinguish "misconfigured" from "no files yet". Deliberately not
`RootSet.resolve()`: that also refuses a currently-unavailable root, and an
operator must be able to point an app at a library on a drive they ejected.
The legacy scalar is derived, never stored. `video_root` still rides on the
handshake ack for MNP 1.0 clients; kept as a second stored value it would
drift from the list within one run, which reads as "it works after a restart".
Also here: chat's own two settings (a directory, which must be on a read-write
root because it is a destination rather than a view, and a link-preview switch
gating the unfurl path — checked before the cache, or turning it off would
still serve every preview already fetched), the `app_directories`,
`chat_directory` and `chat_link_preview` MNP messages, the plural
`<app>_directories` on the handshake ack, and `music` as the app's one
identifier where storage said `audio` and the registry said `music`.
The Music enricher now resolves a boundary per configured directory rather
than one for the group: with several, a single boundary is wrong for all but
one of them, and for Music that is the difference between reading a folder as
an artist and reading it as a release.
Suite: 11 failures, all pre-existing.

Replace the upload boolean with per-root writable/removable/ejected flags.
Backend: new ops (update_root, eject_root, plug_root), MNP 1.1 protocol
messages, live RootSet updates so API always reflects current state, CLI
root subcommand (add/remove/set/list/eject/plug).
Frontend: SharedDirectoriesTable with optimistic toggle switches, eject/plug
in Files and Settings, upload gated on root.writable, ejected-root filtering
in all media apps, updated Create Group wizard, 10-locale i18n.

Files above 40 MB are no longer read in full. Instead, blake3 hashes
45 MB of samples (first 20 MB + last 20 MB + 5 MB at 50% offset).
Files at or below 40 MB are unchanged (full read, hash_version 1).
A new `hash_version` field on IndexEntry (default 1) travels on the
wire and through the cache so both versions coexist without breaking
existing nodes or clients.
The IndexCache auto-migrates its schema on open (ALTER TABLE), so no
manual step is required on upgrade. A standalone migration script is
available in QE/migration/ for operators who want to preview or force
a full re-hash.

A client whose clock is a little fast could not connect at all: the MNP
handshake verified the hub-issued token with no leeway, so a token whose
`iat` was a few seconds ahead of the node's clock failed with "the token
is not yet valid (iat)". Seen against a freshly-resumed VM guest.
`meshbay_common.handshake.JWT_LEEWAY_SECONDS = 60` is the shared value;
applied to the handshake, the node's own hub-token decode, revocation-token
verification, and the hub's access-token decode. 60s absorbs NTP-level skew
without meaningfully widening the window on a stolen token (they already
carry a jti and an exp).

A hung test could wedge the whole run: aiortc's ICE stack never completes
a loopback DataChannel handshake on Windows' default ProactorEventLoop, and
nothing capped it. Two changes, both no-ops off Windows:
- `timeout = 60` in the root pytest config (+ pytest-timeout in the dev
extras) so a stall fails the test instead of the suite.
- a root conftest that selects WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy on win32 only,
which is what aiortc needs there. Trade-off, documented: the selector loop
cannot spawn subprocesses on Windows, so the ffmpeg streaming tests fail
there rather than pass -- they need a per-module override or skipif(win32).

`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.

`file_chunk` and `index_sync` were each built twice, once per transport, and
the two copies did not agree. WebRTC sent binary, unsigned chunks carrying a
`file_id`; QUIC sent base64 fields, two BLAKE3 hashes, a per-chunk Ed25519
signature and no `file_id`. `index_sync` was plain entries on one transport
and a `GroupIndex.serialize()` envelope on the other. One message type, two
shapes, one consumer each, and nothing that failed when they drifted — finding
C6 one size down, in the two places the handshake unification did not reach.
Phase 9.15 moved WebRTC to the binary format and dropped the per-chunk
signature; the QUIC encoder was never brought along. It is dropped here rather
than reintroduced: the AES-GCM tag authenticates the ciphertext under a
GEK-derived key, and since C3 the node authenticates itself once in the
handshake instead of once per megabyte.
`meshbay_common.protocol` now owns the chunk codec (`chunk_ciphertext`,
`file_chunk_wire`, `file_chunk_plaintext`) and `meshbay_node/transport/wire.py`
the index builder, which also absorbs the delta the daemon used to hand-build.
`test_transport_wire_parity.py` fails if either server grows its own copy back.
`ChunkRequest`/`ChunkResponse` are deleted. `ChunkResponse` described the QUIC
half while reading like the contract for both, which is what made the fork hard
to see at all.
BREAKING CHANGE: MNP 0.15 changes the encoding of `file_chunk` and `index_sync`
on the QUIC transport. The WebRTC shapes are byte for byte unchanged and no
QUIC client ships, which is why this is a MINOR bump; a deployed QUIC peer
would have made it MAJOR.
Also fixes a test fixture that put a `Path` where the daemon puts a `RootSet`.
Nothing caught it: the old QUIC index handler never touched `roots`, and
`entry_abs_path` fell through `Path.resolve(strict=...)`, reading the virtual
path as a truthy flag and returning the right file by accident.

All three packages (common, hub, node) bump 0.9.0 -> 0.10.0 together.
Highlights since v0.9.0: email verification for registration, email
change and invitations; passphrase change and account recovery;
reCAPTCHA v2 on Register and Password Reset; node JSON-only control API
with the Node page absorbing the admin dashboard; WebRTC STUN fallback
fix; assorted hub UI fixes.

The passphrase derives two independent client-side values: auth_key (the
hub verifier) and bundle_key (AES-GCM key for the per-node identity
bundles, which live on nodes and never on the hub). Changing or
recovering a passphrase is therefore two operations — swap the hub
verifier, and re-wrap every reachable node's identity bundle.
Flow A — change a known passphrase (Profile page)
- POST /v1/users/password re-proves the current passphrase, swaps
pw_hash/salt/version, revokes every refresh token and returns a fresh
pair so the tab that made the change stays signed in.
- MeshBayTransport.rewrapAllNodes: for every group's online node, connect
with the old key, read the identity off the handshake, store it back
under the new key. Returns updated / unreachable / failed so the UI can
point at the operator-unpin fallback for the gaps. Always-shown
confirmation dialog listing reachable and unreachable groups.
Recovery key
- keyderive.js generateRecoveryKey (32 random bytes, grouped Base32) and
deriveRecoveryKey (HKDF-SHA256, domain meshbay:recovery:v1:<username>).
- Every per-node identity gets a second copy wrapped under the recovery
key: keypair_bundles.bundle_enc_recovery (node-only column, added in
_SCHEMA_KEYPAIR and via a PRAGMA-guarded ALTER for existing DBs),
carried on keypair_bundle_store / _resp. MNP 0.13 -> 0.14, additive.
- session.recoveryKey is persisted in IndexedDB (slot rk) and lazy-loaded
on connect, so a group joined in any later session still leaves a
recovery copy.
- Shown once at registration; optionally folded into the verification
e-mail as a pass-through the hub never stores or logs, with an opt-out.
- Profile -> Recovery key re-loads R and backfills every reachable node
via rewrapAllNodes in bundleKey mode (no passphrase re-entry).
Flow B — recover a lost passphrase (#/reset, linked from sign-in)
- POST /v1/users/password/reset-request {username, email}: both must be
the pair on file, checked against the blind email_hash (never
decrypted). A mismatch — wrong e-mail, unknown username, non-active
account — takes the identical no-op path (no code, no mail, same 200),
so it reveals nothing and cannot be used to spray reset mail from a
username alone. 5/min, 1-hour single-use code.
- POST /v1/users/password/reset {username, code, new_auth_key}: same
expiry / attempts / single-use checks as e-mail verification; revokes
every session and deletes every registered device key so a stored one
cannot sign back in past the reset.
- ResetPasswordPage: request code -> code + optional recovery key + new
passphrase -> reset + sign-in -> fan-out. connect() falls back to the
recovery-wrapped copy when the passphrase key cannot open bundle_enc.
Without a recovery key: sign-in is restored and each group needs the
operator-unpin fallback.
Supporting fixes (found in live testing)
- member unpin now also deletes the keypair bundle; connect() mints a
fresh identity when handed a bundle it cannot open (unless _rewrapOnly,
set by rewrapAllNodes), so a rejoin completes instead of dead-ending
before the invite-code prompt.
- A browser with no bundle key gets a passphrase prompt on the group page
instead of a "go back to the browser you registered on" message.
- RegisterPage / LoginPage / ResetPasswordPage trim the username so every
key derivation matches the hub's stored form.
Docs: docs/auth-confirm.md. Locale keys across all ten catalogues.
Tests: test_password_change, test_password_reset, test_recovery_email,
test_recovery_key, test_rewrap_fanout, test_bundle_store_recovery, plus
additions to test_admin_ops_mnp and test_webrtc_transport. Hub suite 492
passed; node suite 741 passed (the lone test_packaging_units failure is a
pre-existing RPM-spec flake, reproducible on main).

Expose invite_ttl_hours, pair_ttl_hours, device_request_ttl_minutes,
max_concurrent_streams and transcode_incompatible_video in the Node
management panel. Changes are applied immediately via roster.db and
written back to node.toml so they survive a DB wipe. On startup,
roster overrides take precedence over node.toml defaults.
Draft v6 §2.11 documents the design; MNP gains node_settings_set /
node_settings_set_ack for the browser path.

A one-click alternative to the full "Fix match" search-and-pick flow, and
reachable without SSH (`meshbay-node video rematch` clears a whole group).
- MNP 0.13: tmdb_rematch / tmdb_rematch_ack (additive — an older node
logs "unknown type", the button just does nothing). OP_TMDB_REMATCH,
signed like tmdb_override (media_cache is shared node-wide).
- media_cache.drop_tmdb_match(file_id): forgets the match AND the
override marker — deliberately stronger than clear_file_tmdb, since the
operator is explicitly asking for a fresh resolution.
- webrtc_server: _do_tmdb_rematch / _admin_exec_tmdb_rematch, dispatch +
admin-response routing, broadcasts tmdb_rematch_ack.
- transport.js: rematchTmdbMatch(fileId, signFn); 'tmdb_rematch' in the
admin-op allowlist; tmdb_rematch_ack handled like tmdb_override_ack.
- video-app.js: a "Re-match" button beside "Fix match" in the detail
modal (isNodeAdmin), then bumpMediaMetaGeneration(). video.rematch_one
key in all ten locales.

Bump the three packages to 0.8.0 (released together) and realign
meshbay-common's __version__, which had drifted to 0.7.0 while the
pyproject stayed at 0.6.0. Dependency pins updated to meshbay-common>=0.8.0.
Protocol versions are independent and unchanged: MNP 0.12, MHP 0.1. The
Electron client stays on its own 0.1.0 track (hub MIN_CLIENT_VERSION).
Since 0.6/0.7: public-groups admin switch with full server-side enforcement
and a group Revoke action; chat link previews (node-side URL unfurl, SSRF-
gated); chat composer focus + scroll-to-bottom on tab entry; whole-group
"Filter files" search.

Paste an http(s) link in a group's chat and it unfurls into an OpenGraph
card — title, description, site name, and image — the way WhatsApp/Signal/
Slack do it.
The fetch is the node's, never the browser's or the hub's. The browser
cannot: a strict img-src/connect-src and CORS block it, and a direct fetch
would leak every reader's IP to the linked host on each render. The hub must
not touch group content (draft-v6 §2.5). The node already fetches third-party
metadata for the Videos and Music apps, over the same authorised path.
Flow mirrors media_meta_req: the client sends `link_preview_req {url}`, the
node replies `link_preview_resp` with the card fields (or `ok: false`), and
any OG image is stored under its blake3 in the existing media_cache thumb
store — the client then fetches it via the normal file_req path, exactly like
a poster. Nothing durable is added: the card text lives in a bounded in-memory
TTL cache on the node (draft-v6 §2.7 — enrichment on demand, the asking device
caches), and MNP goes 0.11 → 0.12 (additive: an older node logs "unknown type"
and the client shows the bare link).
Because the URL is chosen by a *member* and triggers an outbound request from
the operator's machine, `linkpreview.safe_url` is an SSRF gate: http(s) only,
no credentials, and every resolved address must be globally routable — no
loopback, private, link-local, multicast or reserved range, cloud-metadata
included. Redirects are followed by hand so each hop is re-checked. Residual,
documented in the module: DNS rebinding between the check and connect, closed
properly by pinning the checked IP — a follow-up.
Also fixes a long-standing chat annoyance the preview cards made worse:
opening the Chat tab landed a screen or two above the newest message because
the scroll-to-bottom ran before attachment thumbnails and (now) preview cards
had loaded and grown the content. A ResizeObserver keeps the view pinned to
the bottom through late content growth, and does nothing once the reader
scrolls up.
Tests: test_linkpreview.py (the SSRF gate and the OpenGraph parse, incl.
redirect re-validation and image downscaling) and test_link_preview_request.py
(reply shape, the media_cache image round-trip, the result cache).

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.

musicbay.md's original call — Music needs no root, tag reads are cheap so
just cover the whole shared tree — didn't hold up against a real messy
library: everything under every shared folder got mixed together with no
way to scope Music down to an actual music collection. This adds an
audio_root setting, symmetric to video_root in every respect: signed
operator op (audio_root/audio_root_ack, MNP bumped to 0.10), validated
against a real directory in the group's own roots before a signature is
even asked for, gates tag/cover enrichment exactly like video_root gates
ffprobe/TMDB (nothing runs until it's set, only files under it once it
is), and a set/change fires a one-off sweep of whatever the folder already
contains.
The old trigger — sweep everything the instant "music" joins enabled_apps
— is gone along with the root-less design it belonged to; setting
audio_root is now the trigger, mirroring set_video_root's
enrich_video_root_fn exactly.
Test coverage mirrors the video_root suite: policy (refuse before a
signature round trip, accept/store correctly) and the enrichment gate
itself (nothing without a root, only files under it, sweep on set).
