auth.ts

v3: every doc opens with the role, then the mechanism, then the details — the docs were written bottom-up: what a thing does first ("Declares the three contexts WSProvider fills…"), details that only make sense once its purpose is known next, and the reason it exists last ("…so that a feed doesn't re-render"), so a reader had nothing to hang the first sentences on. The README's rule caused it, since a module doc "opened with what the module does"; it now opens with the module's role in the app, and the value-side phrasing of a type ("Returned to Y by X") comes once the role is said, with WSContext as the before and after. WSContext.ts is rewritten that way throughout, and so are the docs elsewhere that buried their purpose in a trailing "so that" (the migrations, og, image-proxy, public-address, useFading, useFeedCache, the drafts), opened on a generic verb that hid it ("Holds", "Declares", "Loads", "Defines", "Types": the contexts and providers, the shared types, the models, the hooks), or were label fragments ("The page of a dump…", "A row of tabs."). A function whose verb is its action ("Stores session"), a props or result type, and a protocol message ("Sent by X when Y") already say their role and are left as they are. Only comments changed, and the catalogs only move their references; deno fmt, deno lint and doc:lint are clean.

chat.ts

v4: a moderator's or an admin's @everyone in the chat notifies every user — there was no way to reach everyone at once. The new chat:everyone permission, held by moderators and admins, lets a chat message saying @everyone notify every user but its author and those reading the chat, through notifyEveryone, after notifyMentions, so a user also named is told once, by name; the notification is a user_mentioned with everyone set, which the notifications page and the digest word as "mentioned everyone in the chat". chat_messages.mentions_everyone, sent as ChatMessage.mentionsEveryone, is set from the author's role each time the body is written, so a user's @everyone reaches no one, a moderator's edit of a user's message can't make it reach everyone, and a demoted author's next edit loses it. Only an edit that adds @everyone notifies, so fixing an announcement's typo reaches no one new. The client highlights and chimes by the flag, never by the text; Markdown shows @everyone as a mention only in a flagged message, and never links it to a profile. The chat composer offers @everyone first to those who may say it. No account may be named everyone, in any case: migration 0023 adds the column, flags the moderators' and admins' past @everyone messages, renames a user named everyone to everyone_N and drops an alias everyone. 265 backend tests and 681 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean; checked in screenshots of the chat at 1280 and 390px, with a moderator's and a user's @everyone and the suggestions open.

dump.ts

v4: every page and API URL follows one of two rules, written down in API.md — pages are a hierarchy where @name is a user and any other root word a category or an app page, tabs and views are plain segments and a default view is the bare path; API resources are /api/<plural>/<key>, a user's key being an id or @name, the caller's things under /api/me, media a sub-resource, lookups by another key a query filter. ~ is gone: the feed is /, /hot, /new, /journal, /follow and /music/hot, a profile /@bob with its overview and the tabs dumps, upvoted, playlists (her own only), follow (users, and /follow/playlists), invitees and manage (role and name, for user:manage), which replace the separate UserDumps, UserUpvoted and UserPlaylists pages; /settings holds the account (now with the username) and /manage the category manager, both linked from the user menu and one's profile. Dumps and playlists live under their owner, /@bob/dumps/<slug> and /@bob/playlists/<slug>, named by slug alone: migration 0021 re-slugs them to the bare slugify(title), unique per owner and kind (the oldest keeps it, clashes get -2), renames the categories whose slug v4 reserves (hot, follow, settings…), and rewrites this site's v3 links in dump notes, comments, chat, and playlist and profile descriptions. A slug changes only when edited, through the edit forms' new link field, which proposes slugify(title) as the title changes; a username changes from /settings or, for user:manage, from /@name/manage. Every slug or name left behind stays an alias of its item or user for good (dump_slug_aliases, playlist_slug_aliases, user_aliases), so old links redirect without chaining and nobody else can take one; slugs change 3 times a day per item, names once in 30 days, moderators exempt. An alias, or a name in another case, answers the item with its current path: the pages put it in their URL (useCanonicalPath, without fetching again), and the OG middleware answers a 301. shared/paths.ts builds and parses every page path, for the client's links, the emails' (digest-service lost its own builders and its id fallbacks, and links /follow and /settings) and the server's matchers (OG tags, self previews, backlinks, self-url); shared/slug.ts holds slugify and the format categories share. Dumps and playlists carry ownerUsername and a required slug, and notifications join their users' current names and their items' paths each time they are sent or read, so renames reach them and a deleted item's has no link. The API was renamed per the plan's table: POST /api/users and /api/sessions, /api/password-resets, /api/me (with settings, password, avatar, media-token, playlists?contains=, follow, feed?from=, notifications), /api/users/:key/{dumps,upvoted,playlists,follow/users,follow/playlists,invitees,avatar} and by path /api/users/:key/{dumps,playlists}/:slug, /api/dumps?url= and ?category=, /api/dumps/:id/{file,thumbnail,metadata}, /api/playlists/:id/cover, /api/remote/{preview,image,bandcamp,youtube} (one router), and /api/unsubscribe, the v3 POST /api/users/unsubscribe staying for the digests already sent. A stored default feed tab "followed" reads as "follow" once. dumps.slug and playlists.slug stay nullable, since SQLite can't add NOT NULL without rebuilding tables others reference; every writer sets them and unique (user_id, slug) indexes hold them. 254 backend tests (new: migration 0021 on a v3 fixture, slug aliases, swaps and rate limits, username renames, aliases and limits, reads by path and their privacy, the OG 301s, both unsubscribe paths, v4-shaped digest links with no ids, notification joins, shared paths and slugs) and 668 frontend tests (new: the profile's tabs and follow views, Settings, Manage, the link field, canonical URLs on the dump, playlist and profile pages, bare default feed paths) pass, and tsc, eslint, deno check, deno lint, deno fmt and doc:lint are clean; the migration was also run on a copy of the development database.

settings.ts

v4: weekly digests and monthly recaps go out by email, every email is written once as Markdown in the app's one catalog, and a review of the last two commits removes what they stated twice — users get a weekly digest (what happened to them, what the people and playlists they follow posted, the week's top dumps, the community) and a monthly recap (the month's top dumps and the community), both on by default, in their own style and scheme. digest-service sends what is due every quarter of an hour from digest_schedule (migration 0020), which holds each user's rolling 7- or 30-day period; existing users' first periods are spread over the coming week or month, a digest more than a period late covers the last full one, an empty one isn't sent, and an address like admin@localhost is skipped. Each digest carries a one-click unsubscribe (List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post, POST /api/users/unsubscribe) and a link to the new /unsubscribe page, which asks before turning that cadence off, since mail scanners open every link; the token (lib/jwt) names the user and the cadence and never expires. The welcome email now says the digests are on. The emails' words moved out of a hand-written api/mail/strings.ts into the Lingui catalogs the interface uses: lingui extracts api/mail/ too, the catalogs moved to a top-level locales/ that both halves read, compile emits ES modules the server imports (api/mail/i18n.ts), messages take ICU plurals, and the labels the settings tab, the unsubscribe page and the emails share are one message each (their French had already drifted apart). Each template writes its email once as Markdown, which is the plain-text part, and EmailKit.render draws its blocks in the style (a lone link is a button, a list item starting with an image a thumbnail row, a numbered list a ranking, --- the footer), so no string is declared for an HTML and a text version; user text is escaped for Markdown, which the welcome body didn't do for usernames, whose _ read as emphasis. paint() set colors before a border-top shorthand that reset them, so every divider was black. The review also gave one home to what was written twice: the locale list (shared/locale.ts, read by lingui.config, the client, the server and its catalog loader), the base style and default scheme (shared/theme.ts), an email's look (lookOf, which digest-service, welcome and reset share), whether email is on (EMAIL_ENABLED, read by email-service and index.html), a setting's column and its default in the digests' SQL (SETTINGS_COLUMNS, DEFAULT_SETTINGS), the unsubscribe token (made once, not parsed back from a URL), AuthProvider's compare-and-store, ThemeProvider's twin style and scheme code (useThemeChoice), the test JWT encoder, and duplicate digest messages. The email palettes stay a flattened copy of the themes' tokens, now under a test that caught Times' secondary and link colors drifting. The Dockerfile copies api/mail and locales so the build extracts the emails' messages and the server finds its catalogs, and deno.json maps @lingui/core for the runtime image. 236 backend tests (new: digest building, sending, catch-up, scheduling and unsubscribing; the Markdown renderer; French from the catalog; palettes against themes; the stagger migration; unsubscribe tokens) and 661 frontend tests (new: the unsubscribe page) pass, and tsc, eslint, doc:lint, deno check, deno lint and deno fmt are clean.

user.ts

v4: users sign in to one gerbeur instance with their account on another — topic instances, each with its own admins, domain and data, had no way to share accounts. Sign-in is federated over a subset of OpenID Connect, the authorization code flow with PKCE: each instance is an identity provider for its own users and a client for the others', and signs what it tells them with an Ed25519 key kept in federation_keys and published at /.well-known/jwks.json, beside its metadata at /.well-known/openid-configuration. Only sign-in is federated: an account from another instance is a local users row linked to (issuer, subject) in user_identities, with no password (password_hash ''), so sessions, roles, permissions, the socket and every foreign key work as before.
