A 0.16 upgrade in service mode left the previous node running: setup's
unelevated taskkill cannot reach session 0, and it ran in customInstall, which
electron-builder inserts after the files are copied. The locked exe was not
replaced, and the new app talked to the old node ("started but could not link",
"No operator paired").
Installer (build/installer.nsh, build/stop-node.ps1):
- customCheckAppRunning, which runs before uninstallOldVersion and extraction,
stops the node with an embedded stop-node.ps1: control API, then schtasks
/end, then Stop-Process, and refuses to half-upgrade if one survives.
- An upgrade keeps the mode it finds (task, launcher, previous install),
restores the sign-in launcher the old uninstaller deletes, and restarts the
node the way that mode runs it. A silent upgrade of an "at sign-in" install
used to end with no autostart and no node.
- The uninstaller removes the task and firewall rules only on a real
uninstall, not on an update.
Desktop app (src/main.js):
- Start, Stop, Restart and node:start go through the CLI's lifecycle verbs
instead of a second implementation; a child spawned by Electron also held
Electron's sockets after the app quit.
- "Only while MeshBay is open" is a real mode: the app starts a provisioned
node at launch and stops the one it started when it quits.
- Switching modes stops the node first -- deleting a task does not end its
instance, and a new service found the port taken -- keeps the firewall
rules every mode needs, and starts the node again. A declined or unanswered
UAC prompt restores the node instead of leaving it stopped, and says that
nothing changed.
- waiting_for_hub counts as a node that is up; linking waits for a node that
answers, with a longer deadline, and reports a version mismatch.
Packaging (packaging/win):
- The service task gets no 72-hour limit, runs on battery and ignores a second
start; service.ps1 status reports a stale registration so setup re-registers
it; remove ends the running instance before deleting the task.
- build-node-runtime.ps1 starts the frozen daemon in a throwaway profile
(smoke-node-runtime.ps1) instead of only asking for --help.
The mode that was "Off (start manually)" is labelled "Only while MeshBay is
open" in all ten catalogues.

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.

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.

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.

`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.
