Add user_space_layout table and PUT /api/users/@me/space-layout endpoint
for persisting per-user sidebar ordering. Spaces can be freely reordered
via drag-and-drop, folders created by dragging one space onto another,
and folders auto-dissolve when they have fewer than 2 members. Includes
folder context menu (rename, color, ungroup), collapsed folder mini-grid
icons, multi-tab sync via WebSocket, and localStorage collapse state.
Removes the rigid native/federated split — federated spaces now intermix
freely while keeping their globe badge.
Add Delete Channel button to channel settings modal with ConfirmDialog
confirmation. Fix backend DELETE route to disconnect voice users, clean
up attachment files from disk, and remove orphaned read_states. Make
deleteChannel federation-aware in spaceStore and clean up voiceUsers
on channel_deleted WebSocket event.
Add CreateCategory modal (replaces browser prompt) and right-click
"Delete Category" context menu on category headers with confirmation
dialog explaining channels will be uncategorized, not deleted.
Voice channels already support video/screen share, so the separate video
type was redundant. Adds migration to convert existing video channels.
Also adds border-border-soft to CreateChannel input fields for visibility.
Add avatarColor field to spaces, matching the user avatar color system.
Spaces get a random color on creation and owners can change it in space
settings. The color controls the fallback gradient when no icon is uploaded,
replacing the old deterministic hash-based gradient. Includes full
federation support, explore page, mutual spaces, and color picker in both
create and settings modals.
- Use custom Tooltip on all space sidebar items instead of browser title
- Add transferOwnership action to spaceStore (federation-aware)
- Add "Transfer Ownership" context menu item for space owners
- Add TransferOwnershipModal with member search and confirmation
- Add transfer ownership option in SpaceSettings > Danger Zone
Use getMyUserIdForOrigin() in leaveSpace() so federated spaces send
the correct remote user ID instead of the home ID. Show context menu
for all spaces with "Invite People" action; "Leave Space" only for
non-owners.
Replace ContextMenu wrapper with a single portal-based SpaceContextMenu
that renders via createPortal to document.body. Fixes pill indicator
positioning, menu overflow clipping, multiple-menu-open bugs, and
inconsistent DOM structure between owner/non-owner spaces. Also normalize
federated space icons in addSpaceFromReady() for discovery page joins.
- 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
Refactor RegisterPage into a two-step flow: credentials first, then
personalization (display name, avatar upload, avatar color). Replace the
dual-panel sliding layout with conditional rendering and CSS keyframe
animations to eliminate overflow-hidden clipping of focus rings.
Supporting changes:
- Server accepts avatarColor on registration
- Auth store resets all user-scoped stores on login/register/logout
- Voice store gains resetSession() for full session cleanup
- Sync presence status to federated instances
- Propagate presence_update to socialStore regardless of origin
Federated users (e.g. youruser@nova browsing orbit) could not add
instances via Settings → Connections because connectToRemote assumed
window.location.host was the home instance, producing a double-@ username
like youruser@nova.ddns.net@orbit.ddns.net that failed server
validation. Now derives trueHomeHost/bareUsername/trueHomeUserId from the
user's actual homeInstance fields and branches the auth flow: login-only
with bare username when targeting home, register with correct namespacing
for third-party remotes. Also skips profile sync to home instance since
it's the source of truth.
Broadcast user_updated events over WebSocket when profile fields change,
updating members, DM participants, friends, and cached messages in real time.
Widen useVoiceParticipantMeta to return the full user object and add a
standalone avatarColor prop to Avatar so all ~16 callsites now resolve
the user's chosen gradient color instead of falling back to hash-based colors.
Remove placeholder buttons (Threads, Inbox, Help) from channel and DM
headers. Add full-text message search with backend endpoints for both
space channels and DMs, supporting filters (from, has, before, after)
and pagination. Search popover with debounced input, highlighted matches,
and jump-to-message that scrolls with a highlight animation. Includes
messages/around endpoints for loading context when jumping to uncached
messages.
Space avatars in the mutual spaces tab now use getSpaceGradient() instead of
a flat grey background, matching the sidebar appearance. Mutual friends and
spaces from remote instances show a globe icon with the instance hostname.
Also wires up federated mutuals loading, correct API client routing for
remote user profiles, and the new mutuals utility.
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.
Permission changes now take effect immediately without requiring
disconnect/reconnect. Modeled as "permission mute" parallel to
server mute — server recomputes SPEAK for all voice participants
on role/override changes and broadcasts state via WebSocket.
Includes amber UI indicators and mic toggle blocking.
Split monolithic UserSettings into AccountPanel, VoicePanel, ConnectionsPanel,
and InstancePanel tabs. Remove standalone InstanceSettings modal. Add reusable
Toggle component fixing size deformation, color inconsistency (green→purple),
and flex-shrink issues. Fix custom status clearing by always sending the field
to the server. Wrap Log Out button in glass bubble. Add subtle card depth with
borders.
Use neutral bg-white/20 for unwatched camera badge in grid tile instead
of bg-accent-rose/90, matching the local mute badge convention. Show
crossed-out camera icon in channel sidebar when a remote user's camera
is locally unwatched. Add local mute badge to both grid tile and sidebar.
Add ability to unsubscribe from remote camera tracks via context menu,
with unwatched state tracked in voiceStore. Fix click propagation through
React portals by adding onClick stopPropagation alongside onMouseDown on
both the main context menu and MoveToSubmenu flyout portal containers.
Use rose badge color for unwatched cameras (user choice) instead of amber
(reserved for server-enforced states).
When a second browser joins voice, LiveKit disconnects the first browser
via identity collision. The first browser's leaveVoice() was optimistically
removing the user from voiceUsers, but the user is still in voice from
the other session. Add handleForceDisconnect() that clears local connection
state without touching voiceUsers, keeping the sidebar accurate.
Also fix deploy.sh to clean up stale renamed containers from failed recreates.
getMyUserIdForOrigin relied on instanceStore resolver which could return
the home user ID during connection errors. Cache the authoritative user
ID directly from the WS ready payload, ensuring effective-state
computations use the correct federated identity.
When a moderator lifted a server mute/deafen, the client was involuntarily
turning on the user's microphone because isMuted/isDeafened conflated user
intent with server enforcement. Now intent (isMuted/isDeafened) is never
mutated by server events. Effective state (intent || serverEnforcement) is
computed at broadcast and hardware time via centralized helpers.
- The client now dynamically resolves the user's federated identity via `getMyUserIdForOrigin` when evaluating incoming `voice_server_muted` and `voice_server_deafened` events. Previously, the client incorrectly compared the remote event's federated `userId` against the local `authStore` home `userId`, causing federated users to silently drop restriction events.
- Client-side mic/deafen toggles (`toggleMic`, `toggleDeafen`) now accurately evaluate the user's origin-specific ID against the restriction sets, preventing federated users from bypassing locks.
- UI state selectors (`VoiceControlBar`, `ChannelSidebar`) now compute `myOriginId` to correctly render the yellow server-lockdown indicators for cross-instance users.
- Replaces global `userId` tracking with `spaceId:userId` composite keys across both backend and frontend, fixing the issue where server-muting a user in one space bled into others.
- Modifies client-side `ready` event hydration to merge voice states per-origin instead of completely overwriting the store, preventing federated connections from wiping out home instance mutes.
- Excludes server voice restrictions from `zustand/persist` so stale client caches don't override the server's authority on reload.
- Fixes React component reactivity by using reactive store selections for `spaceId` instead of imperative `getState()` calls, ensuring UI lockdown indicators accurately reflect the initial websocket handshake.
Server-side: add DB persistence for voice restrictions (schema, migration,
ready payload, cleanup on leave). Client-side: fix four bugs that wiped or
bypassed server restriction state — leaveVoice() no longer clears global
restriction Sets, voice_state_update leave no longer drops amber icons,
toggleMic/toggleDeafen now guard against server restrictions, and force-mute/
deafen uses direct setState instead of fragile toggle calls.
When a moderator server-deafens a user, the implied mute is server-imposed
and should display amber (not red) everywhere. Updated VoiceControlBar,
ChannelSidebar, VoiceChannel, and VoiceUser to check isServerDeafened
alongside isServerMuted for amber color and cursor-not-allowed state.
Also includes smart mute/deafen toggle logic (Discord-style coupling),
server-side enforcement of mute/deafen bypass, and cleanup of server
voice state on user departure.
Add ban/unban functionality with BansPanel in space settings, voice
moderation context menu (mute/deafen/disconnect), and fix federated
space settings panels to use origin-aware API client. Show domain
indicators for federated members in MembersPanel.
- Redesign explore cards with banner images, overlapping icons, and frosted fade
- Extract dominant colors from space icons for dynamic banner gradients
- Add space description/banner fields to schema with migration
- Move origin label from banner overlay to content metadata row
- Support space descriptions in settings overview panel
fetchSpaces() now awaits _autoConnectDone before reading the instance
list, preventing a race where it would fetch with an empty/incomplete
set of connected instances during page reload.
Move instance-level administration out of Space Settings into its own
modal. Adds admin UI for instance name, registration toggle, and
discovery toggle. Streaming limits panel relocated from SpaceSettings.
- Add InstanceAdminSettings type and GET/PATCH /api/settings/instance
- Add registration_open DB column (nullable, env var fallback)
- Auth registration and instance info now check DB override
- New InstanceSettings modal with General and Streaming tabs
- Admin shield button in UserAreaPanel (visible to admins only)
- Remove Streaming tab from SpaceSettings
Fix three federation bugs in Space Settings: icon URL was double-wrapped
through home API, upload targeted home instance instead of remote, and
updateSpace used home API client. Also restyle settings panels (User,
Space, Members, Roles, Connected Instances) with consistent section
headers, grouped cards, and improved layout.
- Accept visibility and description fields when creating spaces
- Register creator in connectionManager on space creation for immediate WS broadcasts
- Return per-channel myPermissions and space-level myPermissions from GET /spaces/:id
- Populate permission maps in spaceStore from REST response
- Add reauthenticateInstance flow for tokenless federation placeholders
- Handle expired/missing tokens gracefully in autoConnectAll with visible error state
- Guard syncInstanceList against premature runs before autoConnectAll completes
Use origin-aware user ID resolution for optimistic voice add/remove
instead of always using the home instance ID. Adds getMyUserIdForOrigin
resolver (same pattern as getApiForOrigin) so joinVoiceChannel and
leaveVoice use the correct federated user ID. Also fixes WS reconnect
voice re-registration, invite URL for remote servers, and chatStore
early-load guard for unmapped channels.
The redirect effect used the shared `channels` array which could contain
stale data from a previously viewed server during async loadServerDetail.
Added channelToServerMap ownership check to ensure channels belong to
the target server before redirecting. Also persists last-visited channel
per server in localStorage for better return navigation.
The Explore page shared /channels/@me with Friends, differentiated by a
showExplore UI flag. When PiP navigated to a voice channel, the stale
flag caused MainContent to render text chat instead of the voice grid.
Replace the flag with a dedicated /explore route so the URL is the
single source of truth.
Joined discoverable servers now appear in a collapsible "Joined" section
at the bottom of the explore page, so the page never feels dead when all
servers have been joined. A mint success banner replaces the old empty
state text.
Previously, the voice channel sidebar only showed users after a server
round-trip (voice_state_update broadcast). After a deploy/reconnect,
this left the user invisible in the sidebar despite being connected.
Now joinVoiceChannel, leaveVoice, and the WS ready handler all
optimistically update voiceUsers for the local user immediately.
Clear stale currentChannelId when clicking Explore/DMs in ServerSidebar,
and guard AppLayout route effect from clobbering showExplore. Move member
exclusion into SQL for correct pagination/totals, surface allSettled errors,
and show context-aware empty state messages.
Replace the unreliable client-side DM dedup loop in populateFromReady with
a creation-time guard (findExistingDmForUser) that checks all instances
before opening a new DM. Guards added to FriendsPage, NewDmModal, and
UserProfilePopout.
Also fixes: corrupted read_states from temp_ optimistic message IDs (server
migration + client-side validation), federation-aware closeDm/addDmMember
API routing, isSelf-based DM member filtering in sidebar/header, and WS
event error isolation.
- Fix DM welcome header avatar using home identity for correct gradient color
- Register DM channel IDs in channelOriginMap so federated DM operations
(reactions, messages, typing) route to the correct instance
- Pass origin when creating DM channels from friends list and WS events
- Add server discovery/explore page with public server listings
- Add server visibility and description fields
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.
