- Render system messages (member_added, member_removed, owner_changed) inline
in MessageList with icon + human-readable text; system messages never group
with adjacent user messages
- Rewrite WelcomeHeader to branch on ownerId: group DMs show overlapping avatars,
group name, creator attribution, federated privacy note, and a Leave Group button
- Add dm_owner_updated ServerEvent; broadcast from dm.ts leave handler and
federation processOwnershipTransferEvent so all clients update ownerId in real-time
- Add updateDmOwner action to spaceStore and handle dm_owner_updated in useWebSocket
- Add leaveGroup alias to API client dm namespace
On the receiving instance, federation event processors now write
dm_messages with type='system' for member_added, member_removed, and
owner_changed events and broadcast them via dm_message_created to all
connected local WebSocket clients, matching the behaviour of local
group DM operations.
When processMemberAddEvent bootstrapped a new group DM channel for the
first time on a receiving instance, local users were never notified via
WebSocket — only dm_member_added was broadcast, which requires the client
to already know about the channel. Now, after bootstrap, dm_channel_created
is sent directly to each local connected member, and the redundant
dm_member_added broadcast is skipped for the bootstrap path.
On group DM creation, emit a system message per added member (event:
member_added). On POST /api/dm/:id/members, emit a system message for
the newly added member. On DELETE /api/dm/:id/members, emit a
member_removed system message before the row is deleted (so the leaver
is still a member at broadcast time), and emit an owner_changed system
message when ownership transfers. The newOwnerUser query is moved
outside the federation-only block so it is available unconditionally.
Adds a `type` column (TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'user') to the dm_messages
table via schema, migration, and type definition. Updates
buildDmMessageWithUser and the inline replyTo builder in the GET
messages handler to include the field in all DM message responses.
- Fix critical: outbox worker now copies file_rejected payload fields
(attachmentId, sourceFilename, rejectionReason, rejectionLimit,
affectedUserIds) so the reverse relay actually delivers them
- Fix: add sourceFilename to file_rejected event for reliable
multi-attachment matching on the sender side
- Fix: change text-accent-warning to text-accent-amber (valid class)
- Add Array.isArray guard on federationMeta parse
Both buildDmMessageWithUser and buildMessageWithUser manually map
attachment fields — add federationStatus and federationMeta so they
reach the frontend.
The buildReadyPayload query fetched all dm_members rows without
checking the closed flag, causing closed DMs to reappear on every
page reload. The REST endpoint GET /api/dm already filtered correctly.
Federated 1-on-1 DMs showed the raw snowflake ID as the display name
and no avatar when the remote user had no pre-existing local record.
processCreateEvent used resolveLocalUser (find-only) instead of
resolveOrCreateReplicatedUser, and relay events carried no profile data
for participants.
- Add profile snapshot (displayName, avatar, avatarColor) to
FederationRelayParticipant and populate it in getDmParticipants
- Change processCreateEvent to auto-create replicated user stubs and
hydrate them with profile data from the relay event
- Fix hydrateReplicatedUserProfile URL resolution for homeInstance
values without protocol prefix
- Fix WelcomeHeader: return null while DM data is loading (eliminates
"unknown" flash on reload), use displayName for @mention text
Federated relay messages can have local snowflake IDs that don't match
chronological (createdAt) order — a message sent earlier on a remote
instance can arrive later and get a higher local ID. This caused a
permanent mismatch between the ready event's lastMessage (MAX id) and
the acked message (last in createdAt display order), making federated
DM channels appear unread after every server restart.
- Server: change ready event DM lastMessage query from MAX(id) to
ORDER BY created_at DESC (matching the DM REST API)
- Frontend: change ackChannel to ack MAX(id) among loaded messages
instead of last in display order (consistent with server comparison)
- Fix federated username display fallback in UserDiscoverCard
When converting a 1-on-1 DM to a group, the existing DM partner was
incorrectly required to be your friend. DMs don't require friendship,
so this check was over-strict. Added fromDmChannelId parameter to
createGroup — existing members of the source DM are exempt from the
friendship validation.
Bare filenames stored on replicated user stubs can't be resolved by
the home WS (normalizeUserAssets only runs for remote origins).
Now resolves avatar/banner to absolute URLs pointing to the user's
home instance so they render correctly without page refresh.
Also overwrites stale bare filenames from the prior deploy.
Replicated user stubs created by resolveOrCreateReplicatedUser had
null avatar/displayName, causing blank profiles in the UI until
page refresh. Friend relay events now carry profile snapshots
(displayName, avatar, avatarColor, banner, bio) so the receiving
instance can hydrate stubs with real data.
Rename appendMutationLog and queueOutboxEvent params from DM-specific names
(dmMessageId/dmChannelId/messageId) to generic (entityId/contextId) with a new
contextType param defaulting to 'dm'. Update all internal schema column references
to match the renamed outbox/mutation-log schema columns. Add buildFriendContextId
and getFriendEventTargets helper functions for friend event relay routing.
Renames DM-specific columns in federation_outbox (dm_channel_id → context_id, message_id → entity_id) and federation_mutation_log (dm_message_id → entity_id, dm_channel_id → context_id) to generic names, adding context_type = 'dm' for all existing rows so the outbox can carry friend events too.
Adds migrateResetFederationSyncForLegacyDms which resets last_synced_at=0
on all active federation peers so the S2S sync worker re-pulls all mutation
log entries (including newly-backfilled legacy DMs) on next server startup.
A legacy_dm_sync_done flag on instance_settings ensures this runs exactly once.
Rewrite the group DM creation endpoint to accept identity objects
(GroupDmUserIdentity) instead of raw user ID strings. Each identity
is resolved to a local database user via resolveOrCreateReplicatedUser
for federated users or direct ID lookup with resolveLocalUser fallback
for local users. Dedup and caller-exclusion checks now operate on
resolved local IDs rather than input IDs.
Make both identity resolution helpers module-level exports so the group DM
endpoint can import and use them when resolving federated user identities
during group DM creation.
- Hoist callerUser DB query above the federation block so it's fetched
once and reused for response building, federation ID assignment, and
relay payload construction (was fetched 3 times).
- Add homeInstance !== domainOrigin guard to finalTargets augmentation,
matching the existing pattern in POST /api/dm/:id/members.
Adds a dedicated endpoint for creating group DMs with 3-10 members.
Validates friendship, deduplication, and member caps. Includes federation
relay support for remote instance members.
- Add migrateFixOneOnOneOwnerIds migration to NULL-out ownerId on all
existing 1-on-1 DMs (those with exactly 2 members)
- Fix POST /api/dm to create 1-on-1 channels with ownerId=null instead
of the creator's ID
- Guard POST /api/dm/:id/members: reject with 400 if channel has no
owner (i.e. is a 1-on-1), directing callers to POST /api/dm/group
- Guard DELETE /api/dm/:id/members: replace member-count check with
ownerId check; remove now-duplicate dmChannel query in that handler
- Add CreateGroupDmRequest type to shared types
The CREATE INDEX on federated_id in createTables runs before migrations.
On existing installs the column is still canonical_pair_id, causing a crash.
Wrap in try-catch so the migration handles it instead.
Replace the hard-delete in the leave handler with a soft-delete (sets
deleted_at timestamp) when the last member leaves a group DM. A new
janitor sweep in the federation worker runs hourly and purges channels
whose grace period has expired, cascading through reactions, embeds,
attachments, messages, members, outbox/mutation-log/file-queue entries,
and finally the channel itself.
All client-facing dm_channels queries now filter on deleted_at IS NULL
to hide soft-deleted channels from the REST API and WebSocket ready
payload.
In processCreateEvent, branch on event.federatedId: group DM messages now
look up the pre-bootstrapped local channel by federatedId instead of
computing a pair hash from two participants. In queueDmRelay, fetch the
channel's federatedId and ownerId and include federatedId in the outgoing
relay payload for group DMs so receiving instances can route correctly.
Add three new event processors to the relay endpoint for handling
inbound group DM membership changes from peer instances:
- processMemberAddEvent: handles member additions with channel bootstrap
(creates the local channel from group metadata on first contact)
- processMemberRemoveEvent: handles member removals with read state
cleanup and soft-delete GC when no local members remain
- processOwnershipTransferEvent: updates local channel owner tracking
All three are wired into the relay endpoint's event dispatch switch.
getGroupDmTargetOrigins() was called after the leaving user's dm_members row
was deleted, causing their instance to be excluded from member_remove and
ownership_transfer relay fan-out if they were the only member from that peer.
Move the target origins and leaving user lookups to before the deletion.
Hook POST /api/dm/:id/members and DELETE /api/dm/:id/members to the
federation outbox so membership changes propagate to peer instances:
- Assign federatedId when a group DM first gains remote members
- Relay member_add events with group metadata and participant-aware routing
- Relay member_remove (leave) events to peer instances
- Relay ownership_transfer when the departing user was the group owner,
updating the federated owner columns accordingly
Remove federated_id from addMissingColumns so it no longer races with
migrateDmChannelsFederatedId on installs that have canonical_pair_id.
Wrap the table rebuild in PRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF/ON with a transaction
so the DROP TABLE succeeds even when dm_members/dm_messages hold FK refs.
Renames dm_channels.canonical_pair_id → federated_id and adds
owner_home_user_id, owner_home_instance, deleted_at columns to support
federated group DMs. Migration handles upgrade from existing installs
(full table rebuild to rename), partial states (ALTER TABLE), and fresh
installs (correct DDL from the start). Backfills federated_id for
existing 1-on-1 DM channels and owner federation identity for group DMs.
Uses messageHomeInstance to determine whether the target message
originated locally (lookup by ID) or was replicated from another
instance (lookup by sourceInstance + sourceMessageId). Supports
N-instance federation and falls back to relay-sender lookup for
backward compatibility with in-flight outbox entries.
Resolves canonical messageId (sourceMessageId for replicated messages,
local ID for originated messages) and includes messageHomeInstance so
the receiver can deterministically find the target message regardless
of which instance created it.
Consolidates 4 inline constructions of the instance origin URL into a
single shared function. Removes the private copy in federationWorker
and two ad-hoc domainOrigin variables in federationOutbox.
