# MeshBay — Project Conventions

## What this project is

MeshBay is a decentralized peer-to-peer platform for file sharing, video streaming, and group messaging.
See `docs/meshbay-draft-v3.md` for the architecture specification.

**Règle QE/** : tout test sur meshbay.org doit ouvrir le port UFW, tester, et
fermer le port + tuer les processus dans le MÊME bloc de commandes.
Jamais de processus orphelins ni de ports ouverts après un test.

## Python environment

- **Minimum Python:** 3.12
- **Build backend:** hatchling (per package `pyproject.toml`)

```bash
# Créer le venv et installer les packages
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e packages/meshbay-common -e packages/meshbay-hub -e packages/meshbay-node
pip install httpx blake3 uvicorn pytest pytest-asyncio
```

> **Bug pip + Python 3.14** sur Ubuntu et Fedora : `FileNotFoundError` dans certifi.
> Passer `SSL_CERT_FILE` avant le premier `pip install` :
> - Ubuntu : `SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt pip install ...`
> - Fedora  : `SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem pip install ...`

```bash
# Lancer les tests
.venv/bin/pytest
```

## Code conventions

- **Linter/formatter:** ruff (`uv run ruff check .` / `uv run ruff format .`)
- **Line length:** 100
- **Type hints:** required on all public functions
- **Comments:** only when the WHY is non-obvious; no docstrings restating the function name
- **No prints in library code** — use `logging` module

## Versioning

### Package versions (SemVer)
- Format: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
- Pre-1.0: breaking changes bump MINOR, not MAJOR
- All three packages share the same version number (released together)

### Protocol versions (independent)
- MNP: `0.1` → bumped independently of package version
- MHP: `0.1` → bumped independently of package version
- Every wire message carries a `v` field
- Breaking change → MAJOR bump; backward-compatible → MINOR bump
- N-2 MINOR backward compatibility guaranteed

## Commit messages (Conventional Commits)

```
feat(node): add directory watcher with watchdog
fix(hub): include jti in all JWT tokens
chore(common): add Argon2id calibration to crypto.py
docs: update draft v3 with POC findings
test(common): add wrap/unwrap GEK round-trip test
```

Types: `feat`, `fix`, `chore`, `docs`, `test`, `refactor`, `perf`
Scope: `hub`, `node`, `common`, or omitted for cross-cutting

## Security rules

- **Never commit private keys** (hub_private.pem, *.key, unlock.key, keystore.enc)
- **Never commit QE/** — credentials, test keys, demo data go there
- **Never log GEK, private keys, or plaintext passwords** — even at DEBUG level
- **meshbay.org is internet-facing** — open port → test → close port + kill processes in same block

## Known calibration TODOs

- Argon2id `memory_cost`: currently 65536 (64 MB, 78ms) — increase to 262144 (256 MB) before prod
  to target ~500ms on typical home server hardware. Implement a `calibrate` CLI command.

## Key modules — où trouver quoi

| Besoin | Module | Fichier |
|---|---|---|
| Chiffrement chunks (prod) | `meshbay_common.crypto` | `crypto.py` |
| Dérivation clés depuis password | `meshbay_common.keyderive` | `keyderive.py` |
| Bundle clés (web) | `meshbay_common.keyderive` | `keyderive.py` + `static/keyderive.js` |
| GEK wrap/unwrap (ECIES) | `meshbay_common.crypto` | `crypto.py` |
| Double Ratchet (chat) | `meshbay_common.ratchet` | `ratchet.py` |
| AES-GCM (navigateur) | `meshbay_common.webcrypto` | `webcrypto.py` + `static/crypto.js` |
| Keystore node | `meshbay_node.keystore` | `keystore.py` |
| Scripts de démo opérationnels | — | `QE/demo-v1/*.py` (non versionné) |

## meshbay.org server (état cible)

- OS: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, Python 3.14.4
- SSH: `ssh cbesson@meshbay.org`
- Caddy : reverse proxy HTTPS sur 80/443
- UFW rules: **22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp uniquement**
- Services légitimes : `meshbay-hub.service`, Caddy, PostgreSQL (local)
- Inventaire détaillé : `QE/server-state/meshbay.org.md`
- Deploy hub : voir `QE/server-state/meshbay.org.md`
