- buildRelayPayload now uses config.domain for local users instead of
empty string, so the relay receiver can resolve the user
- Fixed canonical_pair_id backfill: SQLite NULL || ':' || x = NULL,
so use COALESCE(home_user_id, id) instead of concatenation
Existing 1-on-1 DM channels created before federation had canonical_pair_id = NULL,
causing the relay to create duplicate channels on receipt of a message. On server
startup, migrations now: (1) compute and set canonical_pair_id for all existing
1-on-1 channels using home_user_id (falling back to regular id for local users),
and (2) merge any duplicate channels that share the same canonical_pair_id by
moving all messages, read states, and members into the oldest channel and deleting
the stale duplicate. Both steps are non-fatal and idempotent.
Federation relay was incorrectly defaulting to disabled, requiring
admins to discover a buried settings toggle. Since federation itself
is opt-in (you connect instances manually), relay should be on by
default. Also migrates existing instances from 0 → 1.
Task 13: Hook server-to-server peering into connectToRemote (non-fatal)
and add federation API namespace to the client (initiate, peers, revoke).
Task 14: Show a transparency notice in the DM welcome header when the
other user is on a remote instance, informing that messages are stored
on both home instances and are not end-to-end encrypted.
Task 15: Add Federation section to the instance settings General panel
with DM relay toggle, TTL config, and a live peer list with revoke
buttons. Also extends InstanceAdminSettings type and the server settings
route to support federationRelayEnabled / federationRelayTtlDays.
Add POST /api/federation/sync for peer instances to catch up on missed
DM mutations after downtime. Uses HMAC-SHA256 authentication (same as
relay), determines shared channels between peers via raw SQL join on
dm_members/users, queries the federation_mutation_log with timestamp
pagination, and returns FederationRelayEvent payloads for each mutation
type (create, update, delete, reaction_add, reaction_remove).
Add federation routes module with four endpoints:
- POST /api/federation/peer/initiate — admin-only, starts peering handshake
with a remote instance (validates origin, generates HMAC secret, sends
server-to-server accept request with 10s timeout)
- POST /api/federation/peer/accept — server-to-server first contact,
rate-limited to 10 req/min per IP, creates/activates peer record
- GET /api/federation/peers — admin-only, lists all peers (hmacSecret excluded)
- DELETE /api/federation/peers/:id — admin-only, revokes peer and cleans outbox
Adds column migrations (dm_channels.canonical_pair_id, dm_messages.source_*,
attachments.source_url, instance_settings.federation_relay_*), CREATE TABLE
for federation_peers/outbox/file_queue/mutation_log, partial/filtered indexes,
and an idempotent backfill that seeds the mutation log from existing DM messages.
Also makes migrateDmMessagesReplyToFk and migrateAttachmentsDmMessageFk
column-aware so table recreation preserves any columns added by earlier
migrations (prevents dropping federation columns on upgrade).
The dist < 150 check caused the ResizeObserver and media load
listener to miss large layout shifts (e.g., GIF loading adding
400+ px of height). The isAtBottomRef gate already determines
whether to auto-scroll — the pixel threshold is redundant.
Remove isAtBottom state from scroll effect deps to break the
re-triggering feedback loop. Use isAtBottomRef (ref) instead.
Gate ResizeObserver and media load effects behind the ref so
they only auto-scroll after the initial snap completes.
Images now size naturally within max constraints instead of being
letterboxed into a 4/3 bg-surface-input container. Fixes dark bars
on GIFs and images whose aspect ratio doesn't match 4/3.
PNG conversion strips GIF animation. GIFs are now detected by URL
pattern (.gif extension or Tenor/Klipy CDN) and copied as URL text
instead, so pasting back into chat re-renders the animated GIF.
Add data-embed-thumbnail marker to VideoEmbed, GenericEmbed, and
RichEmbed thumbnail containers. Update detection logic to skip
these alongside avatars. Also remove redundant filename derivation
in Save Image menu item.
Detect right-clicked images in handleContextMenu and prepend
Save Image, Copy Image, and Open Original to the custom menu.
Avatars are excluded via the data-avatar semantic marker.
Implements image save/download (blob fetch + anchor trigger, fallback to window.open)
and clipboard copy (PNG write via ClipboardItem, fallback to URL text copy) with
toast feedback. Also adds ClipboardItem polyfill and Response.blob() content-type
fix to the jsdom test setup so the clipboard test suite runs correctly.
Refactor useGridLayout from RefObject to callback-ref API so the
ResizeObserver reattaches when the grid container remounts after
focus-mode toggle. Fixes tiles rendering at stale fullscreen dimensions
on 4:3 monitors.
Also clamp focus-mode participant strip height (max-h-[20vh] min-h-[80px])
to prevent it from crowding the focused stream on short viewports.
Lower minimum query length from 2 to 1 character so single-letter
searches return results.
Fix dedup to prefer native profiles (homeUserId=null) over replicated
ones. Previously the first-seen result won, which was usually the
local replicated profile (no instance badge, namespaced username).
Now when a native profile is found on the remote instance, it replaces
the replicated copy — showing the clean username with the instance badge.
Replicated profiles on remote instances have different local IDs but
share the same homeUserId as the native profile. Use homeUserId ?? id
as the dedup key so the same person only appears once. Home instance
is queried first, so the native profile (with clean username) wins.
Replace old "Add Friend" form tests (placeholder/button/inline messages) with
new tests for the Find People panel: search input, Direct Add row, toast feedback,
and searchUsers debounce. Also fix ancillary mocks (discoverStore, authStore,
activityStore, ConnectInstanceModal, findExistingDmForUser) required by the
rewritten component.
Replace the two separate inputs (direct add + discover search) with a
single unified search field. When the user types, results come from
socialStore.searchUsers() across all connected instances. When empty,
the discover grid is shown as before. A user@instance pattern surfaces
a Direct Add action row for sending friend requests to federated users.
Parent FriendsPage no longer owns add-friend state — it all lives inside
AddFriendTab now, keeping the component self-contained.
