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.
Renders space invite system messages in DMs as embed-style cards on the chat
surface. Three render states: snapshot-only on mount (Join enabled, loading
dot), live-confirmed (memberCount refreshed from preview), revoked (gray-out
+ glass-pill indicator). Join targets the space's home origin via
joinByCode(code, spaceInstanceOrigin || undefined) — the three-way
federation correctness rule. Re-exports getApiForOrigin from api/client to
expose the cross-store resolver under a natural import surface.
Other namespaces use 'update' (users.update, spaces.update, channels.update,
roles.update); the new 'invites.patch' breaks the pattern. Renamed before
Tasks 17-19 import it. Plan updated to match.
- Drops the web-local ApprovalRequest interface in favor of the
canonical shared type (Task 2 already established this; Task 10
reconciles the consumer side).
- Adds five new federation methods wrapping the REST endpoints
added in Tasks 8 and 9: peeringSubscriptions (GET), cancelPeering
Subscription (DELETE), peeringNotifications (GET +/- unreadOnly
filter), markPeeringNotificationRead (POST :id/read), markAll
PeeringNotificationsRead (POST read-all).
packages/web/src/api/client.ts declared a local FederationPeer that had
drifted from @backspace/shared: it loosened `status` to `string` (losing
the exhaustive 7-value union) and widened `consecutiveFailures` and
`lastSyncedAt` to `number | null`. The latter two are spurious — the
server never returns null for either — and `status: string` defeated
the compiler's ability to flag a missed case when `rejected`,
`awaiting_approval`, or `needs_attention` were added over the course
of the auto-peering / approval-queue / outbox-auth-failure-recovery
work.
Replace the local interface with a re-export of the shared type. All
three status switches in FederationPanel.tsx (peerStatusColor,
peerStatusDotColor, peerStatusLabel) and the StatusFilter union were
already exhaustive over the 7 values, so no behaviour change is
needed — the re-export just pins the compile-time contract.
web tsc --noEmit is clean after the swap.
Follow-up #23 from S2S DM unification backlog.
- peerStatusLabel/Color/DotColor gain a 'needs_attention' case (rose).
- StatusFilter row gains 'Needs Attention' toggle.
- PeerRow hides Rotate/Revoke and shows 'Reset Peering' when status is
needs_attention, plus an Auth Failures stat.
- Parent panel routes 'reset' through a ConfirmDialog (danger variant)
that spells out the destructive nature and the out-of-band re-peer step.
- Client FederationPeer interface gains consecutiveAuthFailures (Task 2
extended the shared type but the web client's local mirror was stale).
Codifies the manual 'delete both sides, re-peer' workaround as a
first-class admin action.
All DM creation and add-member call sites now use the home api client
and pass homeUserId/homeInstance instead of routing to the remote instance.
Also updates addMember in the API client to accept AddDmMemberRequest.
- Remove redundant `leaveGroup` API method from client.ts (duplicated `leave`); update MessageList.tsx WelcomeHeader to call `api.dm.leave` directly
- Add optional `type` field to shared `Message` interface so `MessageWithUser` carries it; remove `(msg as any).type` casts in `isSameGroup` and the render branch in MessageList.tsx
- Fix `processOwnershipTransferEvent` in federation.ts: replace `channel.ownerId` fallbacks (pre-update, old owner) with `event.ownership.newOwner.homeUserId` in the db update, dm_owner_updated broadcast, and both system message content payloads
- Render system messages (member_added, member_removed, owner_changed) inline
in MessageList with icon + human-readable text; system messages never group
with adjacent user messages
- Rewrite WelcomeHeader to branch on ownerId: group DMs show overlapping avatars,
group name, creator attribution, federated privacy note, and a Leave Group button
- Add dm_owner_updated ServerEvent; broadcast from dm.ts leave handler and
federation processOwnershipTransferEvent so all clients update ownerId in real-time
- Add updateDmOwner action to spaceStore and handle dm_owner_updated in useWebSocket
- Add leaveGroup alias to API client dm namespace
- Add CreateGroupDmRequest to API client imports, type declaration, and implementation (POST /dm/group)
- Update AddDmMemberModal to branch on channel type: 1-on-1 DMs call createGroup and navigate to new channel, group DMs call addMember directly
- Remove legacy getApiForOrigin/channelOriginMap usage — S2S federation relay is now entirely server-side
Task 13: Hook server-to-server peering into connectToRemote (non-fatal)
and add federation API namespace to the client (initiate, peers, revoke).
Task 14: Show a transparency notice in the DM welcome header when the
other user is on a remote instance, informing that messages are stored
on both home instances and are not end-to-end encrypted.
Task 15: Add Federation section to the instance settings General panel
with DM relay toggle, TTL config, and a live peer list with revoke
buttons. Also extends InstanceAdminSettings type and the server settings
route to support federationRelayEnabled / federationRelayTtlDays.
Adds uploadWithProgress() using XMLHttpRequest for real-time upload
progress events. MessageInput now shows per-file progress bars with
percentage overlay during upload. Failed uploads show toast warnings
with the specific error instead of silently failing. Upload timeout
raised to 10 minutes for large files.
Adds cleanupOldMedia() to the storage janitor and a new endpoint
POST /api/admin/storage/cleanup-media { maxAgeDays, dryRun }.
Deletes chat attachments older than the specified threshold while
preserving profile images.
- Add "Discover People" section to Add Friend tab with user cards, mutual counts, and inline actions
- Add discoverStore for fetching/searching discoverable users across local and federated instances
- Add PrivacyPanel to user settings with discoverability toggle
- Add is_discoverable column to users table with migration
- Fix "Send Friend Request" button vertical alignment using transform centering
Make /join/:code a public route with a standalone JoinPage that shows a
space preview and handles authenticated, unauthenticated, and cross-instance
users. Adds GET /api/spaces/invite/:code/preview (no auth) endpoint,
?redirect= param support on login/register, and cleans up dead invite
handling from AppLayout and JoinSpace modal.
Profile and space layout changes on remote instances were being
overwritten by stale data on reconnect. Adds Last-Writer-Wins
timestamps so the client-relay mesh rejects stale writes:
- profile_updated_at column on users table with migration + backfill
- Server LWW guards on PATCH /users/@me and PUT /space-layout
- Bidirectional profileSync: pulls newer remote profiles to home
- LWW layout sync replaces home-authoritative _layoutFromTrueHome flag
- Layout pushes to ALL connected instances in parallel
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 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.
- 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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
- 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
Refactor singleton api object into a class with constructor-scoped
closures parameterized by baseUrl and getToken. Export backward-
compatible api singleton, createApiClient factory for remote instances,
and new instance.info() and users.verifyPassword() methods for
federation support.
- 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
Wire the bitwise permission engine end-to-end:
- Add sendToChannel() to ConnectionManager, filtering WS recipients by VIEW_CHANNEL
- Convert 6 channel-scoped events (messages, typing, reactions) from sendToServer to sendToChannel
- Add broadcastOverrideChange() to push channel_updated/channel_deleted per-user on override mutations
- Bridge legacy server_members.role TEXT to member_roles junction table on PATCH
- Add pushReadyPayload() to force re-sync frontend store after role changes
- Filter channels by VIEW_CHANNEL in GET /api/servers/:id to prevent initial load data leak
- Pre-compute viewers before CASCADE delete on channel_deleted
- Fix frontend channel event handlers to upsert/cleanup channelToServerMap and channelPermissions
- Add ChannelSettingsModal with Private Channel toggle and gear icon in ChannelSidebar
Unlock group DMs by removing the 2-member assumption across the stack.
No schema migration needed — dm_members junction table already supports
N members. Includes dedup bug fix, add/leave member endpoints, late-join
call support, group-aware sidebar rendering, and AddDmMemberModal.
