There is no `uploads/` subdirectory any more, and the client names the folder
rather than the root.
It was the last of v5's quarantine — the per-user layer went on 2026-08-14 for
the same reason — and it goes on the same grounds: a folder appearing beside
the operator's library because somebody sent a file is the node deciding how
their disk is arranged. Somebody dropping a file into the folder they are
looking at expects it to be in that folder.
**What made the quarantine worth having was never the subdirectory.** It is the
filename allowlist, the size cap, the chunk ordering and the no-overwrite rule,
and all four are untouched: an existing file is never replaced, the second
sender of IMG_1234.jpg gets a free name, and the check still sits at the write.
Letting the client choose the destination is safe for one reason and only one:
it is resolved through `RootSet.resolve()`, which refuses `..`, absolute
segments and anything whose resolved form escapes its root, symlinks included.
A member answers "which of this group's folders", never "which path on the
operator's disk" — and the test that used to assert the node chose now asserts
that, with six shapes of escape.
`direct` goes with it. Its only job was to say "no subdirectory for this root",
which is now every root, and a config flag that does nothing is worse than none.
Chat's attachment folder finally does something: the directory the operator
picks in the Chat settings pane is where attachments are written, falling back
to the first writable root while they have not chosen one, or if the one they
chose has since been made read-only or ejected — a stale choice should not
become a refusal at send time.

Review of the Phase 1 commit found the RO/RW model sound but three paths
unfinished, each of which broke the flow the phase exists to deliver. Plus
29 test failures it introduced and no coverage for anything it added.
Uploads went to the wrong directory. The node read a `root` field on
file_upload that no client ever sent, so every upload landed in the first
writable root while the Files toolbar offered its button based on the root
being browsed — with two writable roots, uploading from one wrote into the
other. Files now names the root it is showing; Chat names one chosen in the
shell (an operator-configured directory arrives in Phase 2); the node refuses
an unknown name rather than falling back, and refuses read-only and ejected
roots by code.
Shared directories were unreachable on the web. The table read its roots
only from the loopback API, which resolves to "not available" in a browser,
so the section rendered for nobody there — while the Uploads controls it
replaced had worked — and the transport.updateRoot/ejectRoot/plugRoot methods
beside it were dead. MNP is now the path, loopback the fallback for a local
node with no live connection, and adding a root over MNP takes a typed path
since no web page can browse a remote disk.
Ejecting updated nobody's screen. transport.js resolves an admin ack against
the pending request and returns, which is right for every op whose caller
knows the value it chose; the root acks carry state only the node can compute,
so the operator who clicked Eject was the one client that never saw it happen.
And the ejected flag reached roster.db but was never read back, so a restart
undid it and the next scan read an empty mount point as an erased library.
Also: the member-upload endpoint answered 200 and did nothing (removed); the
wizard ignored the first root's RW switch; reload compared roots on name and
path, so editing writable in node.toml did nothing; the table had no path
column, which is the only thing separating two libraries sharing a basename;
apps_enabled normalisation differed between the two sides of a signed subject.
Tests: eject/plug, per-root upload refusal and the node.toml rewrite had no
coverage at all. test_member_upload_policy.py is replaced by
test_root_writable_policy.py — it tested a removed feature — and every
property worth keeping from it moved rather than being dropped.
Docs: draft-v6 structural decision 9 is annotated as superseded (the operator
can no longer have a directory only they may write to — a real capability
removed, flagged rather than hidden), the man page documents the root verb and
the RO/RW fields, and refactor-groups.md §7b records what the plan got wrong.
Suite: 41 failures before, 13 after — all 13 pre-existing on main.
