The original peerInstances comment framed the two-row pattern as a
band-aid for getOurOrigin's https://${DOMAIN} default. After
investigating a clean collapse to one row (PUBLIC_ORIGIN override on
each spawned instance), the deeper coupling surfaces:
- extractDomain() strips port via new URL().hostname, so unique-port
localhost instances all share hostname '127.0.0.1' and the
receiver's attribution guard
extractDomain(user.homeInstance) === extractDomain(fedHeaders.origin)
becomes ambiguous in any multi-remote configuration.
- The homeInstance validator regex /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$/ in auth.ts
rejects ':', so the port cannot be encoded into homeInstance to
disambiguate.
- Eliminating the second row would require a production refactor of
extractDomain (port-preserving), the attribution check (decoupled
from URL), or the homeInstance validator (allow ':') — all out of
scope.
So the harness DELIBERATELY keeps DOMAIN as a per-instance human label
('home.test.local' / 'remoteN.test.local') for stable identity, and the
two peer rows per direction (transport URL + getOurOrigin URL) are
structural to localhost-port test reality, not a band-aid. Comment
rewritten to reflect this. PUBLIC_ORIGIN remains available in
production code for reverse-proxy / dev-without-TLS deployments.
Adds an explicit override for the federation transport URL returned by
getOurOrigin(). When unset, behaviour is unchanged (https://${DOMAIN} ->
http://localhost:${PORT} dev fallback). Intended for reverse-proxy /
dev-without-TLS deployments where the public origin must be advertised
explicitly (typically http://...) and differs from the bare DOMAIN
value used for federated identity.
Wired via config.publicOrigin (envOptional('PUBLIC_ORIGIN')) so the
override flows through the existing config layer rather than scattering
process.env reads. Trailing slash is stripped for symmetry with
peer.origin storage.
docs/systems/federation.md gets a "Public Origin Override" subsection
under §14 Background Workers documenting the resolution order.
Adds setupFullDeletionFixture (federated user joins remote space, authors 2
messages with reactions, opens 1-on-1 DM with a live observer). Tests #3 (soft
mode: tombstone + dm_members cleared, messages/reactions retained) and #5 (full
mode: tombstone + messages/reactions purged, surviving 1-on-1 DM channel).
Also fixes seedPeer to install both the URL form (outbound lookup on sender)
and the DOMAIN-claim form (inbound auth on receiver) — required because the
test harness's ephemeral http://127.0.0.1 origin and DOMAIN-derived
getOurOrigin() return different strings, while production has them coincide.
This was latent: test #1 (leave mode) skips S2S, so #3 was the first test to
actually exercise the S2S delete path and surfaced the dual-origin gap.
Also fix dbInspect.ts UserRow column aliases: SELECT * returns snake_case
columns (is_deleted, display_name, etc.) but UserRow expected camelCase.
Switch to explicit aliased SELECT so all callers get the documented interface.
hydrateReplicatedUserProfile now calls downloadProfileAsset and stores bare local filenames, falling back to absolute URLs only on download failure. It also fills empty fields only — no longer clobbering local files written by processProfileUpdateEvent. Adds an idempotent startup backfill that converts existing http-prefixed avatar/banner rows on replicated users into local files, so federated profile pictures keep rendering when the home instance is offline.
Adds an admin-driven sweep on top of the existing 24h auto-expire so
operators can see and reap abandoned `.tus/` sessions without waiting.
- storageJanitor: extract `walkTusDir(predicate)` helper, add
`getStaleTusInfo` + `cleanupStaleTusSessions(thresholdMs, dryRun)`;
refactor `cleanupTusStragglers` to delegate while preserving its
janitor-tick `{ removed }` contract.
- StorageStats gains `staleTusSessions` + `staleTusSize` (fixed 1h
display threshold).
- New `POST /api/admin/storage/cleanup-tus` route with
`maxAgeHours` validation (positive finite number, default 1) and
`dryRun` support; admin-gated.
- StoragePanel: 6th overview card "Stale Uploads" + new cleanup
subsection mirroring the media-cleanup pattern (preview-then-clean
with shared result panel styling).
- Tests: 8 new janitor tests covering empty dir, threshold filtering,
dry-run vs live, oldest-mtime tracking, subdir skipping, and the
override path on the existing straggler sweep. New
`routes/admin.test.ts` covers auth/admin gates, validation (zero,
negative, NaN), default `maxAgeHours`, dry-run vs live unlink.
- Docs: `uploads.md` §Janitor expanded to the full lifecycle (cancel
DELETE, discard DELETE, auto-expire, straggler sweep, admin route);
`admin.md` Storage Management updated with the new endpoint and
StorageStats fields.
Migrates the remaining 5 profile/space upload sites (CreateSpace, AccountPanel
avatar+banner, OverviewPanel icon+banner) to transferStore.startUpload with
tray:false. Space sites pass _instanceOrigin so uploads route to the space's
home instance.
Removes upload/uploadWithProgress from api.uploads (and their private
uploadFile/uploadFileWithProgress helpers); api.uploads.url is preserved for
GET-path URL building. Deletes the server-side POST /api/uploads handler and
the now-unused @fastify/multipart plugin registration. GET /api/uploads/:filename
remains intact.
DmLastMessagePreview lacked a `type` field, so the sidebar rendered
`lastMessage.content` verbatim — surfacing JSON like
`{"event":"space_invite",...}` for space invites and member-add events.
Adds `type` to the preview payload (populated server-side from
`dm_messages.type`) and routes all sidebar call sites through a single
`formatDmSidebarPreview` helper that renders human-readable text for
each system event and skips the group `Sender:` prefix on system rows.
Empty-string (local) origin is now stored as the absolute home origin
so relayed DM space-invite cards carry the correct value to remote
recipients instead of resolving against the wrong instance.
POST /api/dm/space-invite was hanging 5s and returning invite_invalid
for any local-space invite. fetchSpaceInviteSnapshot was being called
against our own public domain from inside the backspace container, which
fails (Docker NAT loopback) and aborts on timeout.
Add getLocalInviteSnapshot — reads the snapshot directly from the DB —
and branch in dm.ts so local invites bypass the HTTP roundtrip entirely.
Cross-instance invites still go through fetchSpaceInviteSnapshot with
its existing SSRF guard.
Also refactor the GET /api/spaces/invite/:code/preview handler to use
the same helper, keeping the snapshot shape in one place.
Tests assert fetchSpaceInviteSnapshot is NOT called for the local case
(critical regression guard) and that the cross-instance path still hits
the HTTP fetch.
Adds POST /api/dm/space-invite which fetches a space-invite snapshot
server-to-server from the space's home instance, ensures a 1-on-1 DM
between the caller and a friend, and posts a type='system' message
carrying SpaceInviteSystemPayload. Snapshot is never trusted from the
client. Rate-limited 30/60s per caller. Federation relay queued when the
recipient is on a remote instance (system message type forwarded by
Tasks 1-3).
Adds an `ensureOneOnOneDmChannel` helper that mirrors the dedup-or-create
behavior of the existing POST /api/dm handler — including federatedId
computation and the dm_channel_created notification payload — without
modifying that handler. Duplication is intentional; consolidation is a
separate follow-up.
The original test seeded the DB with the schema default (1) and asserted
the response was true after a partial PATCH. That passes both for
'untouched' and 'reset to default' — doesn't distinguish them. Now the
test toggles the DB column to false BEFORE the PATCH, then asserts the
false value survives both in the response AND in the DB row directly.
Surfaces the federatedRegistrationOpen flag (Task 1 schema column) on the
admin settings GET/PATCH endpoints and the public /api/instance/info
endpoint. Closes the 3 deferred TypeScript errors from Task 2 by
populating the now-required InstanceAdminSettings/InstanceInfoResponse
field.
Adds smoke tests (routes/instance.test.ts, routes/settings.test.ts) that
lock in the JSON contract the Connections UI (Task 21) and admin
RegistrationPanel (Task 15) consume, plus boolean-validation coverage
for the PATCH path. Updates docs/systems/admin.md with the new field in
both InstanceAdminSettings and the public info response schema.
Quality-review polish on Task 11:
1. One-line comment near the federatedRegistrationOpen default behavior
noting that the missing-row case is unreachable post-migration but
falls federation-closed defensively (asymmetric with registrationOpen
which falls back to env config — by design).
2. The "federated gate blocks token registration" test now sets ONLY
federatedRegistrationOpen=0, isolating the federated-gate-alone
effect rather than a both-gates-closed compound.
3. New test: open registration + revoked token → 201 (silently ignored).
Locks the spec §5.7 invariant "no validation when registration is open"
against future "let's just validate it for safety" regressions.
4. auth.md prose explicitly notes that federated stub upgrade and new-
account paths do NOT enter redeemInvite — surfacing the structural
enforcement of spec §1.3 "tokens never unlock federated creation".
The /api/auth/register handler now branches on homeInstance:
- Local path (no homeInstance): gated by registrationOpen. When closed, a
valid inviteToken bypasses the gate and is consumed atomically inside
redeemInvite()'s transaction (user insert + usedCount bump + redemption
row all commit together, or all roll back). When open, inviteToken is
silently ignored.
- Federated path (homeInstance set): gated by federatedRegistrationOpen.
Token is ignored entirely on this path -- tokens never unlock federated
creation. Closed → 403 with "Federated registration is closed".
InviteUnavailableError thrown by redeemInvite() (concurrent revoke,
last-slot race, expiry between check-invite and submit) is mapped to 403
"Invalid or expired invite". The in-txn re-derive closes the TOCTOU window.
9 new tests cover the toggle matrix from spec §5.6 + invite consumption
semantics + federated-gate independence + last-slot race rejection.
Updates docs/systems/auth.md: rewrites the Registration Gate section to
describe the three-path model (open / invite / federated), adds the toggle
matrix, adds an Invite Tokens subsection with the atomic-redemption shape,
notes that the federated stub upgrade is always gated by
federatedRegistrationOpen, never by an invite token.
Per quality review: replace per-property assertions with toEqual()
object-equality on the invalid-response bodies. Locks the enumeration-
shield contract — revoked/unknown/malformed/missing must all return the
SAME body, not just bodies that happen to satisfy individual assertions.
Quality-review polish on Task 8:
1. InviteUnavailableError gains a typed public readonly `reason` field
(the union 'not found' | 'revoked' | 'expired' | 'exhausted'). Task 11
route handler can switch on the discriminant to produce user-facing
copy without parsing the message string.
2. The original "aborts transaction if insertUser throws" test was
vacuous — the callback threw before any DB write, so SQLite ROLLBACK
never fired and the post-conditions were trivially true. Replaced
with two tests: one that explicitly validates the synchronous
short-circuit (no DB work happens at all), and a second that writes
a real users row inside the callback then throws AFTER the write,
proving the SQLite ROLLBACK actually reverts the in-callback write.
Quality-review polish: a one-line comment over the empty-updates guard
in reinstateInvite explains why removing it would re-leak a confusing
Drizzle error. A new test verifies that when Path A (revoked->active)
fails its post-state check, the original token is preserved by the
SQLite transaction rollback (not replaced by the would-be new token).
Inside patchInvite/revokeInvite txn bodies, all reads now go through
the tx proxy. Pre-Task-7 hygiene: locks in the consistent pattern that
reinstateInvite (Task 7) and redeemInvite (Task 8) will copy.
Createinvite test failures now pin to InviteValidationError, catching
regressions where the wrong error class would otherwise pass silently.
Both functions wrap their read-modify-write in a Drizzle better-sqlite3
db.transaction((tx) => ...) with in-txn re-fetch so concurrent admin
mutations are serialized by SQLite's writer lock.
- patchInvite: 404 on missing, 409 on revoked, 400 on maxUses < usedCount,
allows expiresAt to be moved into the past (effective soft-shut).
- revokeInvite: 404 on missing, 409 on already-revoked (explicit reject,
not silent no-op).
Also extracts foldUsername() to collapse the duplicated
(username, isDeleted) -> display string fold across resolveCreatorUsername,
listInvites, and listRedemptions (deferred refactor from Task 5 review).
Note: the plan's example used db.transaction(cb)() with an IIFE,
which is the raw better-sqlite3 signature. Drizzle's wrapper
returns the callback's return value directly, so we use the
(tx) => ... form consistent with the rest of the codebase
(userDeletion, federation, channels, etc.).
Tests: 36 invite-service tests pass (27 prior + 9 new).
Full server suite: 40 files / 311 tests pass.
