Commit 7309f44 removed the friend-add trigger because the server now
handles all routing/peering/lookup; the commit message reserved the
modal for 'Connections settings and space-join flows' but neither flow
ever wired it back in. grep across packages/web/src finds only
self-references — pure dead code.
Removing 162 lines of UI plus the stale vi.mock in FriendsPage.test.tsx.
If a per-instance password-re-entry consent UX is ever needed, the
useInstanceConnect hook is the actual abstraction and the modal can be
rebuilt cleanly with current primitives (Modal mobileStyle="fullscreen",
ContextMenuRenderer's bottom-sheet, etc.).
The Send-Friend-Request action row in the Add Friend tab previously
appeared only when the typed query contained a non-edge @, leaving
no way to fire a blind request for a bare local handle. Widen the
gate to allow non-empty bare handles, keep the malformed @ shapes
(@, @bob, bob@) hidden. When the typed query has no @, display the
resolved form <query>@<window.location.host> so the user sees which
instance the request will hit. Submission string is unchanged.
Updates FriendsPage.test.tsx: inverts the now-stale 'does not show
Direct Add row for plain usernames' test into the new positive
assertion, and adds a separate test for the malformed @ shapes.
The DM "Message button" test asserted addDmChannel was called with two
arguments — the channel and an empty-string origin — but the assertion
has been stale since commit 7f3ca4e ("route DM creation to home instance
with federated identity", 2026-04-01). That refactor made FriendsPage
always route DM creation through the home api client and dropped the
second argument from the addDmChannel call because the remote friend's
instanceOrigin no longer applies — home-created DMs don't need a
channelOriginMap entry (lookups default to '' for missing keys; remote-
delivered DMs still get their origin tagged by useWebSocket).
The two-arg assertion was introduced on 2026-03-25 (commit 277b69a)
against an intermediate form of the code that was later rewritten. Drop
the trailing '' so the assertion matches the current, intentional
one-arg call.
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.
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.
Rewrites socialStore to aggregate friends and requests from all connected
instances using Promise.allSettled. Parses user@domain in friend requests
to route to the correct instance. Removes !isHome guards on social WS
events so remote friend requests arrive in real-time. Shows "via hostname"
labels on remote friends/requests in the UI.
Store the original home snowflake ID (homeUserId) during federation replication
so that avatar gradient colors resolve identically across instances. Previously,
replicated users got new snowflake IDs on each instance, causing different
gradient colors. Now Avatar, UserProfilePopout, VoiceUser, StreamTile, and
VoiceChannel all resolve through homeUserId when available. Includes backfill
logic for existing federated users missing the field.
Add multi-instance support foundation: shared federation types
(ReplicatedInstance, InstanceInfoResponse, VerifyPasswordRequest),
database schema changes (home_instance, replicated_instances on users,
instance_name on settings), public instance info endpoint, auth
registration with homeInstance and username@domain collision fallback,
password verification endpoint, and replicatedInstances sync on user
profile. Extract duplicated sanitizeUser into shared utility across
8 server files.
- Add Backspace-design-prototype.html: finalized "Aether Drift" design
language with warm matte surfaces and subtle frosted glass accents
- Update CLAUDE.md with DESIGN SYSTEM section and remove Discord clone references
- Rename all Opencord references to Backspace across the full codebase
- Archive outdated design experiments and Discord-specific assets
- Add science-backed accessibility fallback (prefers-reduced-transparency)
Add a server-side instance_settings table (single-row, CHECK(id=1))
that stores admin-configurable streaming bounds: bitrate min/max/step,
allowed resolutions, and allowed framerates.
Backend:
- New instance_settings schema + migrations (is_admin on users, default
settings row, first-registered-user promoted to admin)
- GET/PATCH /api/settings/streaming endpoints with admin-only writes
and full input validation including cross-field checks
Frontend:
- settingsStore fetches limits on WebSocket ready, exposes isAdmin flag
- ScreenShareSettingsPopover reads bounds from store instead of
hardcoded constants, auto-clamps stale localStorage values
- buildScreenShareOptions() clamps bitrate to server limits at build
time as enforcement backstop
- ServerSettings modal gains a "Streaming" tab (admin-only) with
bitrate range sliders, resolution/framerate toggles, and save/reset
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
