Voice stays get their own table rather than joining the audit log: that table
records points in time, a call is an interval, and pairing join/leave point
events would leave every query guessing at joins whose leave never arrived.
Sessions are opened and closed inside joinRoom/leaveCurrentRoom rather than at
the seven call sites that reach them, so no path can be missed, and
destroyRoom closes them too — it bypasses leaveCurrentRoom and would otherwise
leak open rows.
A restart leaves sessions open with an unknowable end time. They are closed at
startedAt, discarding that time rather than inventing it: crediting the gap
would hand someone hours they never spent, and the numbers are the point.
Mirrors the existing users.status sweep on boot.
Only closed sessions count, so a figure does not move on every refresh. Bars
scale to the leader, not the total — with five people every share of a total
looks identical. Statistics are readable by any member, since they are the
group's own numbers; the audit log, which names who did what, stays on
MANAGE_SPACE.
Records who changed what, and is the mechanism statistics will read — one
event table rather than two logs that drift apart.
The table is deliberately generic (action + target + JSON metadata) so a new
action needs no migration. Writes never throw: a kick must not fail because
its log entry could not be written, since the kick already happened.
Leaving is recorded as a different action from being removed. The same route
serves both, and a log that conflates them misleads exactly when it matters.
Actor is nullable with ON DELETE SET NULL: the event outlives the account, and
a log that vanished with its actor would be worthless. Reads are gated on
MANAGE_SPACE rather than a new permission bit, which would default to nobody
until every role was re-edited. Paging uses the snowflake id, stable even for
two events in the same millisecond, and an action this build does not know
still renders a row.
Fixes a render bug where a federated user (e.g. axel@nova) appeared with
the federation globe icon and a broken avatar when viewed on his own home
instance. Root cause: `populateFromReady` is first-wins by federatedId and
discards the entire skipped DM payload — including its `members` array —
so when a sibling instance's ready arrived first, the home instance's view
of every shared user was dropped on the floor.
Adds a render-only `userViews` cache that mirrors the `dmAlternatives`
philosophy: information from skipped ready payloads is preserved for
rendering. Every wire surface that delivers a User upserts into the cache
regardless of dedup outcome; render sites read through a Zustand selector
hook to surface the home view when one is loaded. The DM channel ingestion
race is left untouched — the existing no-flapping invariant on origin
reconnect is intentional and load-bearing for failover.
Layered changes:
- `identity.ts`: `normalizeOriginToHost`, `canonicalUserKey`,
`isDeliveryFromHome`, `isFederationGlobeApplicable` — single helpers
for origin/host normalization and the home/stub tier decision.
- `spaceStore.ts`: `userViews` Map, `UserViewEntry` type, `upsertUserView`
action with the home-wins preference rule, prune by `deliveredBy` in
`removeInstanceSpaces` (mirrors `dmAlternatives` cleanup), `reset`
clears.
- `userViewLookup.ts`: `useCanonicalUserView` (Zustand selector hook for
React) + `getCanonicalUserView` (sync getter for non-React paths).
Render reactivity is structural via the selector, not coincidence on
legacy update paths.
- `populateFromReady` upsert pass runs BEFORE the federatedId dedup so
members of skipped DMs still reach the cache.
- WS handlers (dm_message_*, message_*, user_updated, member_joined,
friend_request_*, dm_channel_created, dm_member_added) and REST
hydrators (socialStore, discoverStore, mutuals) feed the cache with
their delivering origin.
- Render-site routing through `useCanonicalUserView` at every audited
user-rendering site (sidebar, header, search, message bubble, reply
chips, profile popout/modal, group settings, voice tiles, mention
chips, member lists, friends, invites). Self-rendering sites compose
alongside via existing `isSelf`/`resolveDisplayIdentity`.
- Globe predicate hoisted to `isFederationGlobeApplicable` and applied
at three sites, gating on `domain !== window.location.host` so we
never show the globe for users whose home IS our own.
Tests: 31 new unit tests across `identity`, `userViews` store, and
`userViewLookup`. Full suite 276/276.
Docs: `client-federation.md` §3 gains a "User View Cache" section
parallel to "DM Origin Failover"; `dm-system.md` notes the new store
action and WS handler upserts.
Bug 3 (federation profile-sync gap — orbit's stale profile data on
nova-Axel after a clear/color-change on nova never propagated)
remains open. The user-view cache routes around it for the common case
(home instance is connected), but the underlying S2S relay gap is its
own diagnosis and follows in a separate branch.
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.
After creating or copying a role, the name input is now auto-focused
with text selected so the user immediately starts typing. A subtle
"Role created" banner appears until the user makes any change.
RoleEditView used useState(role.name) for draft state, but React
reuses the component instance when editingRoleId changes, ignoring
the new initial value. Adding key={editingRoleId} forces a remount,
re-initializing all draft state (name, color, permissions) correctly.
- Resize avatars/icons to 256px and banners to 1280px (client crop + server safety net)
- Add server-side resizeProfileImage() for federation/API uploads without crop modal
- Fix unconstrained crop on RegisterPage and CreateSpace (was missing maxOutputDimension)
- PWA: switch to autoUpdate with skipWaiting/clientsClaim for seamless deploys
- Storage janitor: exclude profile images from unlinked cleanup, delete stale thumbnails
- Add deleteAttachmentByFilename() to clean orphaned attachment records for profile images
- Migration: one-time cleanup of stale profile image attachment records
- GeneralPanel: wrap in <form> to prevent implicit submission
Avatars/banners now resize to max 512px/1920px and convert to WebP before
upload (zero server cost). Chat image uploads generate an 800px-wide WebP
thumbnail via Sharp; the feed shows the thumbnail, click opens the full-res
original. Adds lazy loading to avatars. Federation-compatible: remote
instances without this feature fall back gracefully.
Add .glass-modal CSS class (0.82 opacity) for dialogs and apply
consistent glass tiers across all floating UI: modals, context menus,
tooltips, popovers, and call cards. Replaces ad-hoc bg-surface-elevated
and inline styles with the documented 5-tier glass hierarchy.
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.
Enforce lowercase usernames at registration/login, migrate existing
usernames, and fix ownership checks for federated spaces by resolving
user identity per-instance with getMyUserIdForOrigin.
- 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
Space icon in Settings → Overview was using the user Avatar component
(wrong palette + hashed on name), now uses getSpaceGradient(id, name)
to match the sidebar.
Remove the unused USE_VOICE_ACTIVITY permission bit (was bit 25) and shift
STREAM to bit 25, DISCONNECT_MEMBERS to bit 26. Add a database migration to
remap stored permission values. Gate camera and screen share buttons in
VoiceControlBar behind canSpeak/canStream, matching VoiceControls behavior.
- Add DISCONNECT_MEMBERS permission (bit 27) to disconnect users from voice
- Implement voice_disconnect WebSocket handler with permission checks
- Add disconnect button to voice user context menu
- Grant instance admins full permissions across all spaces
- Fix voice_disconnected handler to use federation-aware identity resolution
- Update CLAUDE.md with new event types and permission docs
- Add migration to convert legacy JSON array permissions to decimal strings
- Add runtime fallback in stringToPermissions for legacy format
- Show all permission toggles as enabled (dimmed) when Administrator is on
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
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.
Replace inline Save/Discard/Reset buttons with sticky glass-bubble pills
that float at the bottom of scrollable modal content. Make SpaceSettings
tab sidebar sticky with glass material. Convert RoleEditView "Back to
roles" into a sticky glass pill at the top. UserSettings Log Out + Save
always visible in a glass pill with separator. Also includes floating
position hook and popover/tooltip improvements from prior work.
Restructure SpaceSettings modal from 778-line monolith into thin
orchestrator with extracted panel components. Add full role CRUD with
permission editor (create, edit name/color/permissions, delete).
Backend: expose role permissions in GET response, accept permissions
in POST/PATCH role endpoints with BigInt validation, broadcast
pushReadyPayload to all space members on role mutations.
