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
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.
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.
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.
After the file worker downloads a federated attachment, generate a
thumbnail using the same sharp pipeline as local uploads. This ensures
federated images use bandwidth-efficient thumbnails in chat view
instead of serving the full-size image.
Also fixes processCreateEvent to not copy the source instance's
thumbnailFilename (which doesn't exist locally).
The file worker now UPDATEs the attachment row created by processCreateEvent
(swapping sourceUrl interim filename to local path) instead of INSERTing a
duplicate. Falls back to INSERT for legacy queue entries.
After download, broadcasts dm_message_updated so clients see the attachment
transition from remote hotlink to local file in real-time.
Single function builds complete relay payload with attachments (including
sourceUrl) and participants. Eliminates 4-way duplication that caused
the attachments: [] hardcode bug.
The relay was failing because processCreateEvent relied on the friends
table to discover the DM recipient, but friendships aren't federated
across instances. Also, resolveLocalUser matched deleted replicated
users before active ones.
- Add participants[] to FederationRelayEvent with homeUserId/homeInstance
for all DM channel members
- Add getDmParticipants() helper to look up member identities
- Include participants in outbox payloads (create/update) and sync events
- Rewrite processCreateEvent to resolve participants directly, compute
canonicalDmPairId, and findOrCreateDmChannel — removing the entire
friends-list fallback (60+ lines)
- Fix resolveLocalUser to filter out deleted users (is_deleted = 0)
and prefer the replicated user match when multiple candidates exist
- 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
Adds cleanupOldMedia() to the storage janitor and a new endpoint
POST /api/admin/storage/cleanup-media { maxAgeDays, dryRun }.
Deletes chat attachments older than the specified threshold while
preserving profile images.
Adds getDanglingAttachments() to find attachment records whose
messageId/dmMessageId points to a deleted message. Updates stats
to show dangling count and cleanup to delete them.
- Add Activity, ActivityType, ActivityTimestamps, ActivityAssets types to shared types
- Add activity_update client event and activities field on presence_update server event
- Add userActivities to ready payload and showActivity to User/UpdateUserRequest
- Create shared activities.ts with ACTIVITY_LIMITS, ACTIVITY_PRIORITY, getPrimaryActivity
- Add show_activity column to users table (schema + migration)
- Update sanitizeUser with isSelf parameter; only include showActivity for self
- Fix .map(sanitizeUser) calls to use arrow wrapper to prevent index-as-boolean bug
- Mark auth routes (register/login) as isSelf=true since they return own user data
Use logical OR when merging fetched metadata so null values from
failed og: extraction don't destroy valid defaults (e.g. YouTube
thumbnail set before the fetch).
YouTube may block og:image extraction via BackspaceBot user-agent.
Use img.youtube.com/vi/{ID}/hqdefault.jpg as a guaranteed thumbnail
that doesn't require metadata fetching. If og:image is successfully
fetched, it overwrites the fallback.
1. Video aspect ratio: remove container border/overflow-hidden, use
preload="metadata" so browser knows dimensions before play
2. YouTube Error 153: remove sandbox attr (too restrictive), add full
allow permissions (encrypted-media, accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.)
3. Google Images not displaying: detect image Content-Type from HTTP
response in metadataFetcher, override classifier to create image
embed for URLs that serve image/* content
4. Audio seeking broken: add HTTP Range request support in uploads
route (Accept-Ranges, Content-Range, 206 Partial Content)
- Fix ?? to || in metadataFetcher.ts to handle empty strings from Cheerio
- Fix stale embeds on message edit: delete old embeds synchronously before
broadcast, then resolve new ones async (all 4 edit paths: REST+WS, msg+DM)
- Revert unrelated MessageList.tsx scroll threshold change (5000 not 150)
- Remove duplicate embed indexes from migrateAddIndexes (kept standalone ones)
Integrate embed infrastructure into the complete message flow:
- messages.ts: batch-fetch embeds in GET, resolve on POST, re-resolve on PATCH
- dm.ts: same pattern for DM messages with isDm=true
- search.ts: include embeds in all 4 search/around endpoints
- events.ts: embed resolution in WS message create/edit for both space and DM
- Fix embedClassifier.ts type errors (regex match undefined → null)
- Add embeds: [] to all inline MessageWithUser/DmMessageWithUser constructions
- Add embeds: [] to chatStore optimistic message
- Resize avatars/icons to 256px and banners to 1280px (client crop + server safety net)
- Add server-side resizeProfileImage() for federation/API uploads without crop modal
- Fix unconstrained crop on RegisterPage and CreateSpace (was missing maxOutputDimension)
- PWA: switch to autoUpdate with skipWaiting/clientsClaim for seamless deploys
- Storage janitor: exclude profile images from unlinked cleanup, delete stale thumbnails
- Add deleteAttachmentByFilename() to clean orphaned attachment records for profile images
- Migration: one-time cleanup of stale profile image attachment records
- GeneralPanel: wrap in <form> to prevent implicit submission
- SSRF protection: DNS resolution + private IP blocking on metadata fetcher
- Upload security: CSP/X-Frame-Options headers, SVG forced download, nosniff
- Auth hardening: JWT secret min length, password min 8 chars, token revocation via password_changed_at
- Attachment ownership verification before linking to messages
- Message length limit (4000 chars) enforced on client and server
- Asset URL validation on avatar/banner updates
- Federation instance validation (domain regex, origin scheme, length limits)
- DB indexes on all FK columns for query performance
- Migrations: nullable moderator columns, dm_messages reply_to FK constraint
- File cleanup on avatar/banner replacement and space deletion
- Fastify trustProxy, AbortController on fetches, typing map size cap
- Add extension-based mimetype fallback in uploads route so thumbnail
files serve correct Content-Type (image/webp) instead of falling back
to application/octet-stream when DB lookup misses
- Skip animated images (metadata.pages > 1) during thumbnail generation
to preserve GIF/WebP animations instead of flattening to static frame
- Remove redundant explicit thumbnail deletion in storageJanitor since
deleteUploadFile() already auto-deletes the thumbnail variant
- Add "Discover People" section to Add Friend tab with user cards, mutual counts, and inline actions
- Add discoverStore for fetching/searching discoverable users across local and federated instances
- Add PrivacyPanel to user settings with discoverability toggle
- Add is_discoverable column to users table with migration
- Fix "Send Friend Request" button vertical alignment using transform centering
Avatars/banners now resize to max 512px/1920px and convert to WebP before
upload (zero server cost). Chat image uploads generate an 800px-wide WebP
thumbnail via Sharp; the feed shows the thumbnail, click opens the full-res
original. Adds lazy loading to avatars. Federation-compatible: remote
instances without this feature fall back gracefully.
Profile and space layout changes on remote instances were being
overwritten by stale data on reconnect. Adds Last-Writer-Wins
timestamps so the client-relay mesh rejects stale writes:
- profile_updated_at column on users table with migration + backfill
- Server LWW guards on PATCH /users/@me and PUT /space-layout
- Bidirectional profileSync: pulls newer remote profiles to home
- LWW layout sync replaces home-authoritative _layoutFromTrueHome flag
- Layout pushes to ALL connected instances in parallel
- Add fileCleanup utility to delete uploaded files from disk on message/account deletion
- Add migration to clean orphaned DM channels, attachments, reactions, read states, and stale moderator refs
- Add FK constraints on dm_message_id in attachments and dm_reactions schema
- Make bans.bannedBy and voiceRestrictions.moderatorId nullable for deleted moderators
- Transfer group DM ownership on member leave or account deletion
- Fully clean up orphaned DM channels (zero members) including files
- Add "Leave Group" context menu for group DMs in ChannelSidebar
- Add leaveDm action to spaceStore
- Add account deletion with tombstone (isDeleted flag), password/username
confirmation, owned-space guard, and full cleanup transaction
- Free deleted usernames by renaming to !deleted:<id> so they can be reused
- Add migration to retroactively free usernames from already-tombstoned users
- Add GET /api/auth/check-username endpoint with rate limiting for real-time
availability checking during registration
- Add debounced username availability indicator on registration Step 1
- Add DeleteAccountModal with federation-aware remote account cleanup
- Add federation ops utility for remote instance management
- Update sanitizeUser to anonymize deleted user profiles
- Add instance store improvements and connected instances modal updates
Add avatarColor as a stored, user-selectable field (mint, sky, lavender,
coral, rose, teal, amber). Randomly assigned on registration, changeable
in profile settings. Existing users keep hash-based fallback until they
choose a color. Includes DB migration, API validation, gradient map,
live preview in settings, and banner fallback integration.
Add banner image, accent color, and bio fields to user profiles with
full-stack support: schema migration, API validation (hex color format,
190-char bio limit), sanitizeUser propagation, and new GET /users/:id/mutuals
endpoint. Rewrite AccountPanel with live preview card, avatar/banner upload
via ImageCropModal, 16-preset accent color picker, and bio editor. Enhance
UserProfilePopout with banner display, accent-colored names, bio rendering,
and mutual counts. Add new UserProfileModal with About/Mutual Friends/Mutual
Spaces tabs and friend action buttons.
