RegisterPage step 2 writes the new token to localStorage but defers
initSession (and thus the authStore.token write) until after the avatar
upload, to keep AuthRedirect from yanking the user off /register
mid-upload. The home-origin branch of setTokenForOriginResolver was
reading authStore.token, so getTokenForOrigin('') returned null during
that window — transferStore.startUpload threw "not authenticated" and
the surrounding catch-and-ignore silently dropped the avatar. Align the
resolver with the home api client and read localStorage so both paths
share one source of truth for the home JWT.
Quality-review polish on Task 11:
1. One-line comment near the federatedRegistrationOpen default behavior
noting that the missing-row case is unreachable post-migration but
falls federation-closed defensively (asymmetric with registrationOpen
which falls back to env config — by design).
2. The "federated gate blocks token registration" test now sets ONLY
federatedRegistrationOpen=0, isolating the federated-gate-alone
effect rather than a both-gates-closed compound.
3. New test: open registration + revoked token → 201 (silently ignored).
Locks the spec §5.7 invariant "no validation when registration is open"
against future "let's just validate it for safety" regressions.
4. auth.md prose explicitly notes that federated stub upgrade and new-
account paths do NOT enter redeemInvite — surfacing the structural
enforcement of spec §1.3 "tokens never unlock federated creation".
The /api/auth/register handler now branches on homeInstance:
- Local path (no homeInstance): gated by registrationOpen. When closed, a
valid inviteToken bypasses the gate and is consumed atomically inside
redeemInvite()'s transaction (user insert + usedCount bump + redemption
row all commit together, or all roll back). When open, inviteToken is
silently ignored.
- Federated path (homeInstance set): gated by federatedRegistrationOpen.
Token is ignored entirely on this path -- tokens never unlock federated
creation. Closed → 403 with "Federated registration is closed".
InviteUnavailableError thrown by redeemInvite() (concurrent revoke,
last-slot race, expiry between check-invite and submit) is mapped to 403
"Invalid or expired invite". The in-txn re-derive closes the TOCTOU window.
9 new tests cover the toggle matrix from spec §5.6 + invite consumption
semantics + federated-gate independence + last-slot race rejection.
Updates docs/systems/auth.md: rewrites the Registration Gate section to
describe the three-path model (open / invite / federated), adds the toggle
matrix, adds an Invite Tokens subsection with the atomic-redemption shape,
notes that the federated stub upgrade is always gated by
federatedRegistrationOpen, never by an invite token.
Mirrors the REST-login change in f17c46c on the registration insert path.
A successful POST /api/auth/register does not by itself imply a live
WebSocket — the client may never connect (transient network, mobile
background, error path between the 201 and /ws), leaving a permanently
stuck-online row that no disconnect timer can clean up. The schema
default 'offline' is correct; ws/handler.ts flips it to 'online' on real
WS auth.
The federated-stub upgrade path in the same handler is unaffected: it
only updates passwordHash/username/homeUserId/displayName/avatarColor,
leaving the stub's pre-existing 'offline' status (set when the stub was
created via replication) untouched.
Updates docs/systems/auth.md step 7 to reflect the new behavior.
users.status was only flipped back to offline by the WebSocket disconnect
path (5s grace timer in ConnectionManager). Process exits (deploy/crash/OOM)
lose those in-memory timers, freezing any non-offline row at its last value
and making the user appear permanently online to friends and space co-members.
Confirmed in production on the Pi instance: a user appeared online for ~3
days with no live socket.
Add resetStalePresenceOnBoot() in utils/presenceBoot.ts and call it from
index.ts after getDb()/seedDatabase() and before WebSocket route registration.
The reset is federation-safe: it only updates rows where home_instance IS
NULL (replicated stubs are projections of remote presence and must not be
stomped) and is_deleted = 0 (tombstoned users are excluded from broadcasts).
Also remove the redundant status='online' write from POST /api/auth/login.
A successful REST login does not imply a live socket; the WS auth handshake
is the single source of truth. Login alone could otherwise produce the same
stuck-online row when a client logs in and never establishes a WS.
Tests cover: locally-homed online/idle/dnd reset, replicated rows untouched,
tombstoned rows untouched, idempotence, mixed populations.
Updates docs/systems/activity-presence.md (Connect/Disconnect Flow, new Boot
Reset section) and docs/systems/auth.md (login no longer mutates status).
