A test-signed install of the MSIX build, in the WindowsApps folder a Store
install uses, showed that every script-made piece of the NSIS model breaks
there, because each names the install folder and every update deletes it:
the firewall rules went stale, the PATH entries piled up pointing at deleted
folders, and the Startup-folder .vbs was refused ("Permission denied") right
after sign-in. The network capabilities the manifest declared covered
nothing: they make rules for sandboxed apps only, and a listener in the
package still got the Windows firewall prompt. The package's own startup
task was on by default, started the node whatever mode the Node page said,
and ran the console executable, whose window stopped the node when closed.
The package now declares what Windows then creates at install, carries
across updates and removes with the app, all without an administrator
prompt (each measured on the real install, through an update and a reboot):
- firewall rules for the node, in a custom manifest template, since only a
package-level element can hold them;
- the startup task, off by default, running meshbay-nodew.exe, a new build
of the daemon without a console;
- an execution alias for meshbay-node.exe, so the app adds no PATH entry.
The node's CLI switches the startup task (platform.startup_task, ctypes over
the WinRT ABI): Windows gives the package's identity to the executables in
it, not to a powershell.exe the app starts, which got "Element not found".
`meshbay-node autostart install | remove | status` therefore works in the
Store package from the app and a terminal alike; the app caches the answer,
since the Node page polls. Starting at boot stays the .exe installer's: the
Store package offers no service mode, and the CLI refuses `service install`
there. Process listings count both image names.
The Node page's status poll cleared the message of a refused action within
five seconds; the two errors are kept apart now (all Windows builds).

Found by the first Windows beta tester, then reproduced on a clean install.
After a service-mode install nothing set the node up for the account that
signed in: the boot task started a node that quit ("hub.username not set"),
and the sidebar showed Node / Create group only once the hub held a node key.
The only way to the wizard that provisions was the home page's welcome card,
which an account already in a group never sees. The way out was
`meshbay-node init` and the key pasted on the profile page -- which is also
what PACKAGING-GUIDE.md told people to do.
- main.js `node:ensure`, called by app.js at sign-in: provisions, starts and
links the node this build ships (Windows, bundled node only). A node set up
for another account, or an account linked to another node, is left alone.
node:start waits for it, so the two never race.
- The sidebar shows the Node section when a node exists on this machine.
- The Node page's status is the node's: its control API and the process
list, not the service task's state (a node started from a terminal ran
while the page said Stopped). Stop says Stopped only once no
meshbay-node.exe is left, and stays offered for a process that answers
nothing.
- CLI stop kills the pid that answered when a graceful stop does not finish,
and fails with the reason when a node process is still there.
- The daemon ends its process 3s after _shutdown(): Python's exit waited for a
busy indexer thread, with the control API already closed. Armed by main()
only, never by a daemon run inside a test.
- node.toml is read as utf-8-sig (PowerShell 5.1 writes a BOM), and a config
that cannot be read is logged instead of dying silently in service mode.
- "Pair this browser" queues the code for the next group of this node to
open instead of saying "Paired successfully"; no banner before a group.
- test_e2e_windows_app.py (opt-in, MESHBAY_WIN_E2E=1) drives the installed
app against a throwaway hub: fresh account to linked node, Stop, Start,
Restart, checked against the real processes.

shutil.which never looks beside meshbay-node.exe, and node-runtime is
appended to the user PATH, so any earlier ffmpeg.exe on PATH ran instead
of the pinned copy. Log the resolved media tools at startup.

_pid_alive only ran tasklist, so request_graceful_stop raised
FileNotFoundError off Windows and two real-daemon tests failed on Linux.
Read /proc there, counting a zombie as gone.

Found by installing the builds and driving every startup mode live:
- Stop through the node's own control API first (POST /api/shutdown, loopback
and per-run token): the one channel that reaches a daemon in any session
without elevation -- a service node runs in session 0 -- and the one that
runs its shutdown. Then Task Scheduler, then a forced stop. Nine stops in a
row used to log no shutdown at all: each was a TerminateProcess.
- The forced stop spares the command running it. The frozen meshbay-node.exe
is the daemon and every CLI verb, so `taskkill /IM meshbay-node.exe` killed
`autostart stop` and `restart-daemon` themselves: exit 1, no output, and no
node after a restart. It excludes its own pid and its parent's, and /T takes
a venv launcher's python child and a daemon's ffmpeg children with it.
- Start and restart report the version that answered, never "started" about a
node nobody asked; `service start` says so when no node answered, and where
the log is.
- A second instance fails before it touches anything. The daemon wrote
ui-token, then failed to bind inside uvicorn's task and exited with the
reason on a hidden console; the node still running then refused every stop
and status, its token file naming a dead process. The control port is now
bound first (exclusively on Windows, where SO_REUSEADDR would share it), and
a refusal is logged and exits 2. Linux had the same order.
- The daemon logs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\meshbay\state\node.log: Task Scheduler
discards its stderr. Only the daemon run opens it, never a CLI verb.
- Hub sign-in waits are interruptible, a stop requested before the node is up
is honoured, and a hub that answers 429 or restarts leaves the node in
waiting_for_hub rather than looking dead.
- operator_paired is null until the roster is read, instead of a false that
showed "No operator paired" about a node whose pairing was intact.
The node test conftest also points HOME, USERPROFILE, LOCALAPPDATA and APPDATA
at a throwaway directory for every test, and keeps log_file() away from the
developer's own node: redirecting HOME alone isolates nothing on Windows, and
the CLI tests had been writing invite and pairing codes into the real profile.

A node onboarded by the desktop client never ran `init`, so default.env was
never copied to node.env; and default.env was 0600 root, unreadable to a
per-user node anyway. The daemon now loads it beneath node.env, 0644.

-LogonType S4U
schtasks.exe has no flag naming the logon type directly -- it only infers
S4U vs Interactive from whether /rp is present, and both readings broke
live on a blank-password account: /rp "" fails schtasks' own credential
validation, and omitting /rp registers "Interactive only", which never
launches the process at boot or on demand despite installing cleanly.
Register-ScheduledTask -LogonType S4U names the logon type explicitly, no
inference. Confirmed live: install, manual start, and unattended boot-time
start all now work.

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 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.

default.env was empty in every build, for three independent reasons:
1. build-node.sh read QE/node.env, which does not exist. Even pointed at the
real file it would have failed: its `grep MESHBAY_TMDB_DEFAULT_TOKEN=`
cannot match QE/tmdb.txt, which is a free-form note, not KEY=VALUE.
2. Nothing consumed default.env. packaging/README.md and build-node.sh both
claimed `meshbay-node init` copies it to <config>/node.env; grep found the
name in exactly two places, the README and the script that writes it. No
code implemented the copy, and `EnvironmentFile=-` hid the absence.
3. build-win.ps1 had no env handling at all, so Windows was empty for a
different reason than Linux.
Now: the build extracts the v4 read token -- tmdb.py sends `Authorization:
Bearer`, so it is the JWT, not the 32-char v3 key beside it in the same file --
matching KEY=VALUE first and then by shape, from MESHBAY_TMDB_TOKEN,
MESHBAY_TMDB_TOKEN_FILE, QE/node.env, QE/tmdb.txt. It writes default.env 0600
and *fails the build* if no token resolves; MESHBAY_ALLOW_NO_TMDB=1 opts out.
An empty default.env is invisible until a user opens Videos and finds no
metadata, which is how this shipped empty on two platforms at once.
platform.py gains packaged_default_env()/install_node_env()/load_node_env().
init copies the packaged file once, never overwriting an existing node.env,
and the daemon loads node.env itself at startup: systemd does this on Linux
via EnvironmentFile, but Windows autostart is a Startup-folder .vbs with no
equivalent. Already-set variables always win.
Also fixes an UnboundLocalError in main(): `config_dir` was assigned at the
top of the init branch, which made it function-local for all of main(), while
the reset branch calls `config_dir()` as the imported function. init returns
before that line, so `meshbay-node reset` could only ever raise. The local is
now cfg_dir.
Verified end to end on Linux: token baked (239 chars), init writes
<config>/node.env 0600 with it. The PowerShell half is written but unrun --
no pwsh on this machine.

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.

Verified end to end: a live browser peer on Windows connecting to a Windows
node — handshake, index sync, file download and an ffmpeg-transcoded video
stream all work on the ProactorEventLoop. aiortc only hangs on it in the
same-process loopback the tests use, which the repo-root conftest already
handles for the suite.
So the daemon no longer forces the SelectorEventLoop: that fixed
aiortc-in-one-process but broke ffmpeg (no subprocess support on a Windows
SelectorEventLoop). `use_compatible_event_loop()` becomes
`configure_event_loop()` — a no-op unless MESHBAY_NODE_EVENT_LOOP=selector
is set explicitly, as an escape hatch that probably never needs pulling.
This drops the planned "move ffmpeg off the asyncio loop" work.

Whether aiortc actually hangs on the ProactorEventLoop for a live peer (as
opposed to the same-process loopback the tests use) is still open. This lets
a Windows node keep the default loop for that comparison — and, if Proactor
turns out fine, keep subprocess ffmpeg working without a code change.

Found by running the daemon on Windows for the first time:
- `meshbay-node init` wrote `unlock_file = "C:\Users\..."`, and
attach_group / add_root write `path = "C:\..."` — a raw Windows path in a
TOML basic string is a parse error (`\U`, `\a`, ... are escape sequences),
so the config would not load. All now write `Path(...).as_posix()`;
pathlib reads the forward-slash form fine on Windows.
- any `print()` carrying a `->` arrow or em dash (the CLI help and messages
are full of them) raised UnicodeEncodeError on a cp1252 console and took
the command down. New `platform.force_utf8_stdio()` reconfigures
stdout/stderr to UTF-8, called at the top of `main()`.
Verified on Windows: init writes parseable LF node.toml, the keystore
Argon2-decrypts, the loopback control API binds 127.0.0.1, and
`_update_node_toml` reads a CRLF file and rewrites it LF-only with its
standalone comments intact. Two regression tests added in test_ops.py.

aiortc's ICE stack does not run on Windows' default ProactorEventLoop -- a
DataChannel handshake never completes. `platform.use_compatible_event_loop()`
switches to the SelectorEventLoop on win32, called at the top of `main()`
before `asyncio.run()`. No-op off Windows.
Known cost, for when the node runs on Windows: the SelectorEventLoop cannot
spawn subprocesses, so ffmpeg streaming (asyncio.create_subprocess_exec in
webrtc_server.py) needs a thread-based runner there. Tracked separately.
