computePermissions() returned the space @everyone role's permissions without
verifying the caller had joined the space. Because CREATE_INVITE is in
DEFAULT_EVERYONE_PERMISSIONS, any authenticated user could mint an invite code
for a request-only space — whose id is listed by /api/spaces/explore — and then
self-join via /api/spaces/:id/join, bypassing the join-request approval flow.
The same gap let non-members read message history and search default channels.
Root cause:
- computePermissions now returns 0n for non-members (space owner and instance
admin still short-circuit first, so they are unaffected).
Defense in depth (request-only spaces are approval-gated, never invite-joinable):
- both invite-code join endpoints reject visibility='request' (private stays
invite-joinable — its only entry path; public too).
- POST /api/spaces/:id/invite refuses to hand out a code for request spaces.
- POST /api/dm/space-invite refuses to card a local request space, checked by
space id against the local table so a spoofed spaceInstanceOrigin can't slip
past it.
- InviteModal hides the invite affordances for request spaces.
Also removes the unused computeCategoryPermissions(), which duplicated the
resolution algorithm without the membership gate.
Adds unit + route + component tests covering non-member/member/owner/admin
resolution and the request/private/public visibility matrix.
Reported-by: BadAtCaptchas (#2)
instanceStore registers three resolver functions at module load —
setApiForOriginResolver, setUserIdForOriginResolver,
setOriginFromHostnameResolver — whose backing `let` bindings used to
live in spaceStore. When the module graph was entered from
instanceStore (e.g. JoinSpaceModal importing useInstanceStore) the
order became spaceStore → chatStore → useWebSocket → socialStore →
instanceStore (top-level setter call) while spaceStore was still
paused on its line-8 chatStore import, so the backing `let` had not
been reached yet and the setter crashed with
`Cannot access '_getApiForOrigin' before initialization`. This left
InviteModal.test.tsx and JoinSpace.test.tsx unable to even load their
suites once AudioManager was mocked away.
Move the three `let` bindings, their setters, their pure getters, plus
the WS-populated user-ID cache (`_myUserIdByOrigin`, setMyUserIdForOrigin,
getCachedUserIdForOrigin, clearMyUserIdCache) into
`packages/web/src/utils/crossStoreResolvers.ts`. The utility imports
nothing from `./stores/*`, so no back-edge exists. spaceStore re-exports
the public surface for backward compatibility with the many existing
import sites; instanceStore imports the setters directly from the
utility (the in-cycle re-export path does not resolve at module-init
time under vite-ssr, so a direct import is required for the top-level
setter calls).
spaceStore's remaining wrappers (resolveUserOrigin, getLayoutHomeOrigin,
getMyUserIdForOrigin) stay where they are — they combine the utility's
pure lookups with authStore state — but now delegate to the utility.
Also adds the AudioManager mock to InviteModal.test.tsx and
JoinSpace.test.tsx so their suites actually load (same pattern already
used in 5 other test files). Net test-suite result: 127/131 pass (up
from 121/121 — +6 newly unlockable). The 4 remaining JoinSpace
failures are pre-existing stale UI-text assertions (the placeholder was
expanded and the submit button was made disable-when-empty) made
visible by the suite now loading; they're orthogonal to this change
and handed back for a separate triage.
Closes backlog #27.
Phase 1 - Feature Repair:
- Fix member kick/leave: add missing db.delete() call in servers.ts
- Stabilize invite codes: return existing code instead of regenerating
- Fix user search: use LIKE instead of exact match in social.ts
- Wire DM button on FriendsPage to create/navigate to DM channels
- Add cancel outgoing friend request (DELETE endpoint + frontend)
- Add accept/decline friend request actions with WS real-time events
- Fix replyToId persistence in message creation
- Hydrate reactions and replyTo in message queries
- Add joinByCode to API client and serverStore
- Add friend_request_received/accepted WebSocket events
Phase 2 - Discord UI Overhaul:
- Remove stray borders between layout columns
- Replace shadow-sm with shadow-header on content headers
- Replace all bg-gray-*/text-gray-* with Discord color tokens
- Ensure flat color contrast (#1E1F22, #2B2D31, #313338)
Testing:
- Set up vitest + @testing-library/react + jsdom
- Add 17 tests across InviteModal, JoinServer, FriendsPage (all passing)
- Fix vite resolve.extensions to prefer .tsx over stale .js files
