Replaces the legacy /api/uploads call in RegisterPage with the tus-based
transferStore path. Extends Transfer to persist the server-assigned
filename (not just attachmentId) since downstream consumers store
attachment.filename on the user/space record.
- transferStore: rename setAttachmentId -> setAttachmentRef(id, attachmentId, filename)
and add attachmentFilename field to Transfer
- both startUpload + resumeUpload onSuccess paths now record filename
- new utils/waitForTransfer.ts: waitForTransferAttachment(transferId)
returns {attachmentId, filename}, with immediate-terminal handling
- RegisterPage: silent (tray:false) upload via transferStore, awaits
the helper, passes the server filename to api.users.update
Chromium gates the PulseAudio loopback path behind the
PulseaudioLoopbackForScreenShare feature flag. Without it, returning
audio: 'loopback' from setDisplayMediaRequestHandler rejects the whole
getDisplayMedia request, so screen share never starts when the user has
"Share system audio" enabled. Also surface a clear warning toast on
loopback failure (PipeWire-only without pulse compat, macOS without
Catap) instead of failing silently — no auto-retry, since the picker
selection is already consumed.
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.
vitest+jsdom puts test code in a different realm than Node's TextEncoder,
so `toBeInstanceOf(Uint8Array)` rejects the encoder's return value even
though it is structurally a Uint8Array. `Object.prototype.toString.call`
checks the @@toStringTag tag, which is realm-safe.
LocalTrackPublished registers a one-shot onended on the camera track's
MediaStreamTrack. The handler:
- skips when consumeIntentionalCameraOff() flag is set (user-initiated)
- re-probes getUserMedia to distinguish NotAllowedError (permission
revoked) from NotFoundError (disconnected) from other errors
- tears down camera state via the unified path
Also reset _intentionalCameraOff in voiceActions if setCameraEnabled(false)
rejects, so a failed disable doesn't poison the next genuine unplug.
- Voice-bar and mobile camera buttons now use the canonical handler
(fixes mobile no-op and voice-bar wrong-preset bugs)
- Remove dead useLiveKit.toggleCamera
- Add _intentionalCameraOff flag with mark/consume helpers
Without this, when the local admin gate fires on friend-add, the user
got a generic 'Could not send friend request' fallback. Now they see
'Your admin needs to approve federation with this instance' with a
pointer to Connections settings where Task 12's pending-approvals
section shows their queued request.
Removes try/catch on the deleted InstanceNotConnectedError/Disconnected
classes (T17). Server now returns structured error codes; client maps
them to human-readable toasts via the new mapServerErrorToMessage helper.
The friend-add flow no longer triggers ConnectInstanceModal — the server
handles all routing/peering/lookup. The modal itself stays for Connections
settings and space-join flows.
buildCallUndeliverableToast renders "{peerLabel} couldn't ring anyone."
for the single-failure terminal case; multi-failure + non-terminal paths
fall through to existing lines (which already fold the new reason in by
peer label). TDD — four new assertions.
instanceStore registers three resolver functions at module load —
setApiForOriginResolver, setUserIdForOriginResolver,
setOriginFromHostnameResolver — whose backing `let` bindings used to
live in spaceStore. When the module graph was entered from
instanceStore (e.g. JoinSpaceModal importing useInstanceStore) the
order became spaceStore → chatStore → useWebSocket → socialStore →
instanceStore (top-level setter call) while spaceStore was still
paused on its line-8 chatStore import, so the backing `let` had not
been reached yet and the setter crashed with
`Cannot access '_getApiForOrigin' before initialization`. This left
InviteModal.test.tsx and JoinSpace.test.tsx unable to even load their
suites once AudioManager was mocked away.
Move the three `let` bindings, their setters, their pure getters, plus
the WS-populated user-ID cache (`_myUserIdByOrigin`, setMyUserIdForOrigin,
getCachedUserIdForOrigin, clearMyUserIdCache) into
`packages/web/src/utils/crossStoreResolvers.ts`. The utility imports
nothing from `./stores/*`, so no back-edge exists. spaceStore re-exports
the public surface for backward compatibility with the many existing
import sites; instanceStore imports the setters directly from the
utility (the in-cycle re-export path does not resolve at module-init
time under vite-ssr, so a direct import is required for the top-level
setter calls).
spaceStore's remaining wrappers (resolveUserOrigin, getLayoutHomeOrigin,
getMyUserIdForOrigin) stay where they are — they combine the utility's
pure lookups with authStore state — but now delegate to the utility.
Also adds the AudioManager mock to InviteModal.test.tsx and
JoinSpace.test.tsx so their suites actually load (same pattern already
used in 5 other test files). Net test-suite result: 127/131 pass (up
from 121/121 — +6 newly unlockable). The 4 remaining JoinSpace
failures are pre-existing stale UI-text assertions (the placeholder was
expanded and the submit button was made disable-when-empty) made
visible by the suite now loading; they're orthogonal to this change
and handed back for a separate triage.
Closes backlog #27.
failoverDmOriginsFromDisconnected(origin) walks pinned DMs and re-keys
them to a connected sibling origin's local channel id (via dmAlternatives
federatedId lookup). Preference: home first, then any connected remote in
insertion order. rekeyDmChannel performs the atomic rename across
spaceStore (dmChannels / channelOriginMap / channelLastMessageIds /
dmAlternatives), chatStore (via rekeyChannelState), and the URL (via
history.replaceState when viewing the rekeyed DM). Voice state is
intentionally untouched — LiveKit sessions can't migrate across origins.
Old origin's local id is retained in dmAlternatives for possible later
fail-back without another ready round-trip.
Friends fan-out (loadFriends/loadRequests) now waits for all remote
connections to establish before querying, fixing the empty friends list
when logged into a remote instance as a federated user.
- Add _autoConnectDone wait guard to loadFriends, loadRequests, and
loadFederatedMutuals (same pattern as discoverStore)
- Add concurrency guards to prevent thundering herd from multiple
ready events firing simultaneous fan-outs
- Fix deduplication to use canonical identity (homeUserId ?? id)
instead of id:origin, preventing duplicate entries for the same
user across instances
- Auto-connect to home instance when logged in as a federated user,
with registry entry so it appears in Connections UI
- Allow re-adding error/disconnected instances in probeInstance
Enable federated DM calls to route accept/reject/end through the correct
WebSocket connection using callOrigin, and include federatedCallId in all
dm_call payloads for server-side FederatedCallEntry lookup.
PNG conversion strips GIF animation. GIFs are now detected by URL
pattern (.gif extension or Tenor/Klipy CDN) and copied as URL text
instead, so pasting back into chat re-renders the animated GIF.
Implements image save/download (blob fetch + anchor trigger, fallback to window.open)
and clipboard copy (PNG write via ClipboardItem, fallback to URL text copy) with
toast feedback. Also adds ClipboardItem polyfill and Response.blob() content-type
fix to the jsdom test setup so the clipboard test suite runs correctly.
- buildScreenShareOptions reads hwOverdrive from voiceStore instead of config.codec; both VP9 and H.264 paths now always get a VP8 SIMULCAST backup
- startScreenShare activates SDP override before WebRTC negotiation and deactivates on failure
- stopScreenShare and handleScreenShareUnpublished both deactivate the override and reset hwOverdrive: false
- scheduleEncoderDetection checks encoderImplementation in WebRTC stats after 4s and shows a warning toast if OpenH264 (software) is detected
LiveKit uses screenShareEncoding (not videoEncoding) for screen share
tracks. Without it, both primary and backup fall back to the default
ScreenSharePresets.h1080fps15 (15fps). Primary was masked by our
overdrive mechanism, but backup had no overdrive and was stuck at 15fps.
- Backup codec changed from H.264 (OpenH264, slow) to VP8 (libvpx,
fast) — same encoder family as VP9, lower dual-encode overhead
- Backup capped at 30fps with proportional bitrate to keep CPU
overhead low during SIMULCAST dual-encoding
- H.264 pill visually dimmed with amber warning when selected
VP9 is default — better quality per bit with H.264 SIMULCAST backup
for Safari. H.264 option available for zero-CPU hardware encoding.
Codec choice is independent of gaming/text mode, which still controls
contentHint and degradationPreference.
- Gaming mode uses H.264 primary (hardware NVENC encoding, zero CPU
impact on games). Text mode uses VP9 primary with H.264 backup
and SIMULCAST policy for Safari compatibility.
- Fix native mode starting at 30fps by decoupling frameRate constraint
from resolution constraint in both screenShare.ts overdrive and
useLiveKit.ts updateActiveTracks.
- Filter paused backup codec tracks in Connection Info stats so dead
0kbps entries don't show alongside active codec tracks.
Replace the useEffect-based auto-connect pattern in AppLayout with
direct connect/disconnect calls from user gesture contexts. This is
required for iOS (AudioContext.resume + getUserMedia must happen in
a gesture handler) and aligns with tightening autoplay policies on
desktop browsers.
Architecture:
- voiceStore gains connectFn/disconnectFn refs, registered by AppLayout
from the single useLiveKit() instance.
- All voice join paths (ChannelSidebar, MobileSpacesScreen, MainContent,
voice_moved WS handler) pass connectFn to joinVoiceChannel().
- All disconnect paths (VoiceControls, voiceActions, MobileVoiceFullScreen,
MobileVoiceMiniBar, dm_call_ended/rejected WS handlers, ready handler)
call disconnectFn() directly.
- dm_call_accepted WS handler calls connectFn() to initiate the DM call
LiveKit connection.
- The 55-line auto-connect useEffect and lastAttemptedRef are removed.
Replace the give-up-after-3-retries path with a persistent background
scheduler: 10 retries every 30s (5 min), then 12 retries every 5 min
(1 hr). Active timers are keyed by origin so rapid password changes
cancel and replace the previous loop. All timers are cleared on logout
via clearPasswordSyncTimers() called from instanceStore.reset().
Move mute/deafen/camera/screen-share/disconnect logic out of VoiceControlBar into a shared voiceActions.ts utility so the same handlers can be called from both UI buttons and the upcoming keybind dispatcher.
profileSync stored avatar/banner paths with /api/uploads/ prefix on remote
instances, causing resolveAssetUrl to produce double-path URLs like
https://remote/api/uploads//api/uploads/file.jpg that 404'd. Store bare
filenames instead, strip prefix defensively in resolveAssetUrl and server-side
for existing data self-healing.
Screen sharing with audio captured the app's own voice playback, causing
users to hear themselves echoed back. Fixed via two layers:
- Add restrictOwnAudio constraint (Chrome 141+/Chromium 144) to exclude
the app's own audio from system audio capture
- Add shareAudio toggle so users can disable system audio entirely
- Remove outdated macOS audio block (now supported via ScreenCaptureKit)
- Upgrade Electron 33→40 (Chromium 130→144) so restrictOwnAudio works
natively in the desktop app
- Add NSAudioCaptureUsageDescription for macOS 14.2+ audio capture
- Add GTK 3 fallback for Linux GNOME compatibility (Electron 36+)
- Custom screen share picker for Electron (ScreenSharePicker.tsx) with
Aether Drift design: glass-bubble footer, adaptive grid, pill tabs,
border-based selection (avoids overflow clipping), hover brightness
- Instance URL picker so Electron connects to any Backspace server
- System audio loopback on Windows/Linux via desktopCapturer callback
- macOS: video-only callback (OS blocks system audio capture)
- IPC bridge for screen source enumeration and selection
- Purge stale service worker caches on Electron launch
- SSRF protection: DNS resolution + private IP blocking on metadata fetcher
- Upload security: CSP/X-Frame-Options headers, SVG forced download, nosniff
- Auth hardening: JWT secret min length, password min 8 chars, token revocation via password_changed_at
- Attachment ownership verification before linking to messages
- Message length limit (4000 chars) enforced on client and server
- Asset URL validation on avatar/banner updates
- Federation instance validation (domain regex, origin scheme, length limits)
- DB indexes on all FK columns for query performance
- Migrations: nullable moderator columns, dm_messages reply_to FK constraint
- File cleanup on avatar/banner replacement and space deletion
- Fastify trustProxy, AbortController on fetches, typing map size cap
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 a cross-instance self-ID registry to identity.ts so isSelf() can
recognize the current user's Snowflake IDs from all connected instances.
Previously, federated DMs showed the user themselves as the other party
because remote-instance IDs didn't match the home user ID.
- Register user IDs from every WS ready event (home + remote)
- Clear the registry on session reset (login/logout/register/delete)
- Fix isSelf() username comparison to parse both sides as federated
- Replace naive ID check in MessageList WelcomeHeader with isSelf()
