profileUpdatedAt ?? createdAt treated freshly registered users as having
"newer" profiles than users with real edit history, because createdAt is
always NOW at registration time. This broke federation profile sync:
the client correctly pushed home → remote, but the remote server's LWW
guard rejected the write (stored createdAt > incoming profileUpdatedAt).
A null profileUpdatedAt means "never edited" — that's timestamp 0, not
the user's creation time.
After deleting a federated identity, the server-side user_federation_registry
and users.replicated_instances were not cleaned up, causing "already connected"
errors when trying to re-federate. The deletion endpoint now authoritatively
removes both the registry row and the replicatedInstances entry, and bumps the
LWW timestamp to prevent stale client syncs from re-inserting them.
Also extends the endpoint to accept mode 'leave' (skip S2S, just clean up),
and enables the "Select instances..." scope option in DeleteIdentityDialog.
Add removeRequestsForUser (socialStore), removeUser (discoverStore), and
clearTypingForUser (chatStore) to support isDeleted cleanup in the
user_updated WS handler.
Switch from manual space-ID collection to collectDeletionBroadcastTargets and
add user_updated broadcast so clients patch their caches when a federated user
is deleted via S2S. Force-disconnect moved after broadcasts so other tabs
receive events before the connection is torn down.
- Orphaned DM channels (zero members) are unreachable garbage — clean
them up regardless of purgeContent mode, not just in full/nuke mode.
- Full/nuke mode now also deletes the user's space messages, their
attachments, and embeds. This is the meaningful distinction: "Delete
User" preserves all content as "Deleted User", "Nuke" removes it.
After a prior deletion + re-federation, multiple user records share
the same homeUserId (one deleted, one live). The unfiltered .get()
returned the older deleted record, causing the idempotency check to
short-circuit and miss the live record entirely.
Update the dialog to support three deletion modes (leave/soft/full),
scope selector with disabled "Select instances..." option, loading
state during deletion, and per-instance error handling via toasts.
When a federated user's identity has been tombstoned (isDeleted=1),
findFederatedUser filters them out, causing resolveOrCreateReplicatedUser
to silently create a new stub — a "zombie" resurrection. This guard checks
for a deleted row before creating a stub and returns null instead.
All 11 call sites across federation.ts and dm.ts have been updated with
appropriate null guards: federation relay handlers reject or skip the event
(participant_not_found / accepted no-op), while dm.ts routes convert null
to undefined so the existing 404 path handles it.
The modal read from the global spaceStore.members which only contains
members for the currently active space. Opening the modal via right-click
context menu on a space that hasn't been navigated to yet resulted in an
empty member list. Now fetches members independently via the dedicated
GET /api/spaces/:id/members endpoint with federation-aware API routing.
The modal was manually rendering avatars with a static bg-surface-input
background, bypassing the Avatar component's getAvatarGradient() logic.
Users without profile pictures got blank dark circles instead of their
hash-generated or user-set avatar color gradients.
- Remove tinted description box, use plain text
- Buttons are now flex-1 equal width side by side
- Cancel gets visible bg-interactive-hover background
- Larger padding, rounded-xl, wider max-w
- FriendItem/RequestItem: add plain wrapper div so divide-y border
lands on a non-rounded element (fixes curved separator lines)
- Add border-t to divide-y containers so first row also gets top line
- Remove uppercase from "Direct Messages" in DM sidebar
Add third group for instances the user explicitly disconnected via
the registry. These get a disconnected placeholder with preserved
token for instant reconnect, but no auto-connect on page load.
Aligns the ready payload query with the GET /api/dm approach:
get MAX(created_at) per channel first, then fetch the actual
message rows. Avoids issues with federated relay messages whose
local snowflake IDs don't match chronological order.
Extracts the inline DM list item rendering (~105 lines) from
ChannelSidebar.tsx into a standalone component. Applies cohesive
hover states, 6px border radius, 44px row height, and a selected-
state accent bar matching ChannelItem's pattern.
When the same person registers on multiple federated instances, separate
DM channels are created for each identity, causing duplicate sidebar
entries (e.g., "Nova" appearing twice — once for local, once for
federated account).
Add deduplicateDmChannels() safety net that detects matching counterparts
using two layers: canonicalUserMatch (same ID/homeUserId/username) and
replicatedInstances cross-check (local user has a replicated account on
the federated user's home instance with the same base username). Keeps
the DM with the most recent activity, applied in both setDmChannels and
populateFromReady.
Investigation: queried both live instances (nova.ddns.net, orbit)
and confirmed root cause is same-person-two-accounts, not a server-side
creation bug or identity resolution gap.
Introduces a lightweight DmLastMessagePreview interface for the ready
payload and GET /api/dm response, and widens DmChannel.lastMessage to
accept either DmLastMessagePreview or DmMessageWithUser so both the
static preview path and real-time WS events can coexist without casts.
- disconnectInstance: save cached tokens BEFORE filtering the instance out, so
reconnectInstance can restore disconnected entries from localStorage
- reconnectInstance: if instance is not in active instances array, attempt to
restore it from cached localStorage token before proceeding with reconnect
- reconnectInstance: update registry to unreachable/auth_expired on failure
- forceRemoveEntry: now tears down WS, removes from instances array, purges
token from localStorage, and cleans up space store (was registry-only before)
Adds persistent federation registry storage endpoints under
/api/users/@me/federation-registry. GET returns all registry entries
with the stored updatedAt timestamp. PUT replaces the full registry via
LWW (409 on stale write) in an atomic transaction.
removeChannelStates cleared messages and readStates but not hasMore.
When a closed DM was reopened with the same channel ID, loadMessages
saw the stale hasMore entry and skipped loading — showing an empty
chat. Now clears hasMore so messages reload on reopen.
Three changes to cut deploy time:
1. deploy.sh: Pi and VM deploy concurrently (wall time = max, not sum)
2. deploy.sh: Build cache capped at 2GB instead of nuked after 24h,
so pnpm install layer is reused between deploys
3. Dockerfile: runtime stage uses --prod (skip devDeps). Moved tsx
from devDependencies to dependencies since it's used in CMD.
processDmTypingStartEvent and processDmTypingStopEvent handle
typing indicator relay from peers. Uses federatedId for channel
lookup, resolveLocalUser for ephemeral identity (no stub creation).
Also clears typing indicator in processCreateEvent when a relayed
message arrives — belt-and-suspenders for dropped relay packets.
sendTypingRelay() mirrors sendCallRelay() — direct POST to peers,
no outbox, no retry. Uses federatedId for cross-instance channel
identification. Wired into handleDmTypingStart() for typing_start
and broadcastDmMessage() for typing_stop.
Broadcasts dm_typing_stop to DM members before dm_message_created,
so the typing indicator clears immediately when a message arrives
instead of lingering for up to 3 seconds after delivery.
DMs now come exclusively from the home instance's ready payload.
Remote origins' DM channels are ignored. The deduplication logic
that preferred home copies over remote copies is no longer needed.
Removed dead loadDmChannels() (zero call sites).
All DM creation and add-member call sites now use the home api client
and pass homeUserId/homeInstance instead of routing to the remote instance.
Also updates addMember in the API client to accept AddDmMemberRequest.
Extend the add-member endpoint to resolve federated identity via
resolveOrCreateReplicatedUser() when homeUserId+homeInstance are provided,
falling back to the existing local userId lookup.
The client-side federation model (instanceStore, federated accounts,
multi-instance connections, origin-aware routing) was completely
undocumented. An agent reading only federation.md would understand S2S
relay but have no knowledge of how the client connects to multiple
instances, creates federated accounts with real credentials, or routes
API/WS calls to the correct instance.
New spec covers: instanceStore architecture, federated account creation
(username@instance format), Connections UI, auto-connect lifecycle,
channelOriginMap routing, WebSocket multiplexing, cross-instance
identity resolution, and the relationship between client-side and S2S
federation.
CLAUDE.md subsystem table updated. Both federation docs cross-reference
each other.
migrateFixOneOnOneOwnerIds was too aggressive — it set owner_id=NULL
on any 2-member channel, including group DMs that happened to have 2
members. The group DM repair then restored owner_id, creating noisy
logs every restart.
Now only targets channels with NULL or 32-char hex federatedId
(true 1-on-1 DMs), skipping UUID-format group DMs.
POST /api/dm created channels with federatedId=NULL, so when the S2S
reply arrived, processCreateEvent couldn't find the channel and created
a duplicate. Now computes the deterministic SHA256 hash at creation time
when either participant is federated.
Client-federation users (e.g., youruser@nova logged into orbit)
send DMs on the remote server. The S2S relay forwards these back to the
author's home instance, but verifyAttribution rejected them because the
author's homeInstance didn't match the sourceInstance.
Now also accepts when the author's home matches the receiving instance
(getOurOrigin()), covering the homeward relay case.
- Spec: status → Implemented, fix PATCH peer as new (not pre-existing),
correct API paths, update component breakdown to match actual structure
- Federation docs: update relay rate limit from 30 to 90 req/min
The outbox worker interval was reduced from 10s to 1s in FED-009,
so a busy sender can now hit 60 req/min during sustained traffic.
90 gives 50% headroom.
