jcoffey-dev 6632231815 Move CI, the image and the Node types to 26 together
Three pins and a types package all described Node 22, and moving any one
of them alone puts the build somewhere the others are not: @types/node
on its own would typecheck against APIs the runtime does not have, and
the base image on its own would ship a major CI never exercised. So
ci.yml, publish.yml, release.yml, both Dockerfile stages and
@types/node move in one change.

Worth knowing before this is deployed: 26 is Current, not LTS. node:26-
alpine reports lts=none, where 24-alpine is Krypton and the 22-alpine we
are leaving is Jod. 26 is due to become Active LTS in October. Nothing
here needs 26 over 24 -- the pins are a single number if the LTS line is
preferred.

engines stays at >=20.19, which is the floor for running ihasmail rather
than the version we build it on; the README's recommendation follows CI
to 26.

Checked on the runtime, not just in CI: the image builds on 26-alpine,
starts, and answers /api/health, and the login, SSE and body-carrying
POST checks from the node-server upgrade pass against a server on
26.8.1.

jcoffey-dev 23738501c7 Take @hono/node-server to 2.1.1
All three entry points we import survive the major unchanged: `serve`
keeps its `(options, listeningListener)` signature and still accepts
`fetch`, `hostname` and `port`; `RESPONSE_ALREADY_SENT` is still exported
from `utils/response`; `getConnInfo` is still on `conninfo`. The peer is
hono ^4 and the engine >=20, both of which we already meet.

What v2 adds is two defaults worth knowing about. `overrideGlobalObjects`
swaps in a lighter Request/Response, and `autoCleanupIncoming` destroys
an incoming request the app never finished reading -- which is the
behaviour you want behind a proxy, and is on by default.

Neither is something the unit tests would notice, so this was run rather
than reasoned about. Against the mock: login, an /api/events stream, and
a POST carrying a body through to upstream. The SSE path is the one that
matters, since it writes to the raw ServerResponse and hands back
RESPONSE_ALREADY_SENT; it answers with the same headers, the same
chunked encoding and the same bytes as 1.19.17 does on the same script.

jcoffey-dev 3e8b1ebb38 Take hono to 4.13.7 and let Dependabot open the next one
Three medium advisories land on hono before 4.13.5: a toSSG() path
escape, a query parser that reads parameters past the URL fragment, and
unbounded dot-notation nesting in parseBody(). Only the second one
touches this server -- c.req.query() is read in imageproxy, icsproxy and
app -- and even there safeFetch validates the value it actually fetches
rather than a separate pre-check, so there was nothing to desync. toSSG
and parseBody are never called. The bump is still worth taking on its
own: it is a patch release with no API change.

The declared range moves with it, from ^4.7.4 to ^4.13.7, so the
security floor is recorded in server/package.json and not only in the
lockfile.

The dependabot.yml is the actual fix for how these were found. There was
no config, so nothing opened a PR and the alerts sat on a dashboard
until someone thought to look. Routine updates now group into one PR a
week; majors stay separate, because they are migrations.

jcoffey-dev 0ad19802f8 Never serve the service worker from a cache
The deploy on 2026-09-08 went out at the origin and did not arrive.
Cloudflare went on handing out the previous `sw.js` -- `cf-cache-status:
HIT`, with an edge TTL of four hours, longer than the hour we asked for
-- because the file is neither a hashed asset nor HTML and so fell into
the ordinary `max-age=3600` case.

That is not a freshness preference. The service worker is the app's whole
update mechanism: a browser holding the old one goes on being served the
shell that worker knows and never learns a deploy happened, so the deploy
simply does not land. The manifest matters for a second reason -- the two
have to agree. A fresh manifest advertising a share target, answered by a
worker that has never heard of one, sends the share to the server for a
405. Either being old is survivable; disagreeing is not.

`no-cache` rather than `no-store`: both may still keep a copy, they just
have to revalidate it, which is a 304 and costs nothing. Neither gets to
answer with its own copy without asking.

Narrow on purpose -- two files, named, rather than a policy that quietly
stops the icons and fonts being cached as well.

Coffey Labs a35f360952 Merge pull request #294 from Coffey-Labs/theme-styled-mail
Force the theme onto mail that styles itself
2026-09-06 16:04:55 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 2464c9655f Let the theme be forced onto mail that styles itself
Appearance gained "Apply the theme to messages too" some time ago, and it
themes an HTML message only when the message brings no colours of its own.
That predicate is the right default and it almost never passes: one
`color:#FFFFFF` on one button label opts a whole message out, so in real
mail — receipts, shipping notices, anything from a template — the switch
did nothing at all and the reader kept a bright white card on a dark UI.

A second switch, off by default and only meaningful with the first on,
forces the palette over the sender's colours. It cannot be done perfectly,
which is why it is a separate, explicit choice: the same bargain a
dark-reader extension makes.

What it does is tell two kinds of colour apart. A *sheet* the design sits
on — the white 600px wrapper — is neutralised, and a *painted surface* —
a call to action, a footer banner — is kept whole so its label stays
legible on it. Relative luminance decides, at 0.5: white wrappers sit at
1.0, a blue button near 0.09. Only the painted ones are marked, with
data-ihm-keep, and one rule in EMAIL_BASE_CSS neutralises everything else.

Nothing the sender wrote is removed, so the switch is reversible, colours
arriving from a <style> block are covered as well as inline ones, and
print still pins the tokens to ink on white.

The mock grew the message this is about: an outer wrapper on
bgcolor="#ffffff", a <style> block, a coloured button, a grey footer.
Without one, neither the bug nor the fix could be seen.

Verified in a browser against the mock: with only the first switch on the
card is still white; with both, the wrapper computes to transparent, body
text follows the theme, and the button keeps white-on-blue. Two surfaces
marked, which are the two the message paints.

Closes #290

jcoffey-dev 6432e11beb Follow Stalwart 0.16.21 in the mock
Four changes, each confirmed against a real 0.16.21 rather than read from
the changelog.

Synthetic recurrence ids are now built from an occurrence's recurrenceId
instead of its position, so they survive a write. This reverses a hazard
the mock reproduced on purpose: up to 0.16.20 writing one override
renumbered the series and a held id silently named a different date. A
five-week series was expanded live, its third occurrence retitled through
its synthetic id, and all five original ids re-read; every one still
resolved to its own date. The test that pinned the instability now pins
the stability, with two more around it.

Calendar/get and AddressBook/get return every property when properties is
omitted or null, shareWith included. Mailbox/get on the same server still
omits it, so that stripping stays and now applies to mailboxes alone.

EventSource ping events advertise the interval in seconds, not
milliseconds. The mock parses the parameter it used to ignore: a 30 s
floor, larger values honoured, 0 disables pings, a non-numeric value is a
400. The first ping now arrives one interval in rather than on connect,
which is what the server does.

CalendarEvent/set rejects create, update and destroy with forbidden when
the request asks for scheduling messages and the account may not send
them. MOCK_NO_SCHEDULING_SEND=1 develops against that account.

jcoffey-dev 2c47c0851c Push by subscription: hold no upstream connection per tab
A signed-in tab held two sockets: the browser's, and one from ihasmail to
Stalwart carrying that tab's push stream. The upstream one was most of what a
tab cost, and the only reason Stalwart's connection limit applied to ihasmail
at all.

RFC 8620 section 7.2 defines the other push transport: a PushSubscription,
where the server POSTs StateChange objects to a URL the client registers.
Stalwart 0.16.20 implements it. ihasmail now registers one subscription per
account at sign-in, and when Stalwart POSTs a change, fans it out to that
account's open tabs over the browser-facing streams it already holds. A tab
opens on the relay as before and is moved to fan-out the moment its account
verifies -- the upstream request is ended, the browser stream is untouched,
and nothing keeps a reference to what was torn down. After that there is no
upstream connection at all. The shapes are the RFC's; nothing here is taken
from any other client.

Measured at a 256 MiB cap over a private plain-HTTP route, against a real
Stalwart with 6,144 accounts verifying during the ramp and no failures:

                                 tabs   client   Stalwart   system  KiB/tab
  raw relay (before)            5,000     48.2       46.4     94.6
  push by subscription          6,144     33.3        4.8     38.0
  a direct-to-server client   12,389      4.8       53.8     58.6

Descriptors per tab: one, the browser's. Stalwart pays 4.8 KiB per tab and
holds no connection for it, so its per-listener connection limit no longer
applies to ihasmail. What remains per tab on the client is Node's cost for a
held HTTP/1.1 connection.

PUSH_URL is the https origin Stalwart can reach ihasmail at. The RFC requires
https and Stalwart enforces it, so Stalwart must trust that certificate: a
public TLS front already does; a private segment needs an internal CA in
Stalwart's trust store. An account whose subscription cannot be verified
stays on the relay, so nothing breaks -- only the saving needs the
certificate. PUSH_MODE=relay disables the subscription path entirely.

/api/push/:token accepts only a JSON body under 64 KiB for a known 32-byte
token, answers 200 or 404, and echoes nothing. /api/health reports how many
accounts are verified, pending or failed and how many tabs are on each path.

jcoffey-dev f569f2cc7a Skip the compressor for clients that offer no encoding
Listing latency at one user went from 1.95 ms on the previous release to
3.25 ms on main, and a bisect put the whole of it on the compression commit.
Not on compressing: the harness never sent Accept-Encoding, so nothing was
ever gzipped. Hono's middleware still inspects every compressible response it
declines and sets Vary on it, and setting a header on a streamed passthrough
rebuilds the Response off its fast path -- about 1.2 ms per JMAP call, on a
request that had asked for nothing.

The middleware now runs only when the request names gzip or deflate. Measured
at one user against the same Stalwart:

  compressor touches but declines, no Accept-Encoding   3.25 ms
  skipped entirely, no Accept-Encoding                  2.02 ms
  compressor applied, Accept-Encoding: gzip             2.27 ms
  previous release, either                              1.95 ms

Applying gzip to a JMAP response costs about a quarter of a millisecond and
saves three to five times the bytes on every listing and body, so JMAP
responses stay compressed by default; COMPRESS_JMAP=0 turns that off for a
deployment that would rather not.

The raw push relay is also made safe to tear down from outside -- the
browser stream keeps its headers and is not ended when the upstream request
goes -- which the next change relies on.

jcoffey-dev ed93fefb9b Give each session a budget on the data path
Only sign-in and the account endpoints were rate limited. JMAP, blob
downloads and the image and calendar proxies had no budget at all, and the
proxy is one Node process that saturates a core at roughly 2,000 operations a
second -- measured at 110% CPU under 150 concurrent users. One signed-in
account looping requests could slow every other user on the instance.

Each session now gets API_RATE_LIMIT requests a minute on those routes, 1,200
by default: twenty a second sustained, well above what a busy tab does and an
order of magnitude below where one tab starts to hurt the rest. Over budget
returns 429 with Retry-After. Sign-in keeps its own, separate limiter.

Checked in situ: one session driven flat out was cut off after exactly 1,200
requests, and with API_RATE_LIMIT=0 throughput at 50 users is unchanged.
2026-09-06 00:42:49 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 01f721d8d1 Cut what a signed-in tab costs by two thirds
Two changes on the push path, both measured against a real Stalwart 0.16.20
with the container capped at 256 MiB and tabs added in steps of 200 until the
kernel killed it:

                                  tabs held   per tab   of which native
  before                              1,665   133 KiB          81 KiB
  pin upstream calls to STALWART_URL  3,400    58 KiB           8 KiB
  + raw push relay                    4,979    37 KiB          10 KiB

Stalwart advertises absolute https URLs in every session, and the proxy
followed them -- so even with STALWART_URL naming a private plain-HTTP hop on
the same Docker network, every held push stream went out through TLS. That leg
is about 80 KiB of OpenSSL state per tab: native memory Node cannot see, which
is why neither the heap ceiling nor the stream buffer size ever moved the
number. absoluteUpstream() now keeps the path and query from the advertised
URL and the scheme, host and port from the configured one. A setup that must
reach Stalwart at an origin other than the one it was given sets
STALWART_FOLLOW_ADVERTISED_URLS=1.

With the transport out of the way, the fetch()-based relay was the next cost:
an undici Response, a web ReadableStream, a reader and Hono's stream bridge
held alive per tab, about 44 KiB of heap for a session that otherwise costs
4 KiB. relayPushRaw() pipes the upstream socket into the Node response and
tells the adapter the response is already sent. RAW_PUSH_RELAY=0 restores the
fetch path for comparison.

JMAP throughput is unchanged (2,383/s against 2,484/s at 50 users, inside
run-to-run noise); the relay does not touch that path. Verified that a push
stream through the raw relay delivers a StateChange while mail is written.

The install page's advice to set --max-old-space-size was measured in the same
runs and made no difference at all -- 3,400 tabs with it and without -- and
is withdrawn in the docs alongside this change.

Coffey Labs 5356e603fe Compress our own responses (#288)
* Compress our own responses

The bundle went out uncompressed unless a proxy in front did the work: 933 KB
on the wire where 311 KB does, on every first load. Both example proxy configs
compress, but that only helps deployments that copied them, and the default
should not depend on reading the examples.

Hono's middleware, with the proxy routes held back. `/api/blob`, `/api/image`,
`/api/ics` and `/api/upload` forward somebody else's bytes under a
content-length copied from upstream, and issue #76 was a silent truncation
caused by exactly that header disagreeing with its body. Re-encoding them
would be safe in principle -- the length is dropped and the response goes out
chunked -- but they carry attachments and images that are already compressed,
so there is nothing to win and a scar to respect.

`/api/events` is listed with them even though Hono already skips
text/event-stream by content type, so that changing the push route's type
cannot quietly start buffering the stream.

`/api/health` is excluded for the opposite reason: at 47 bytes gzip made it 73.
Hono's size threshold cannot catch that on its own, because it only applies
when a response carries a content-length and `c.json()` does not set one. The
other JSON routes stay compressed -- a JMAP response has just as unknown a
length and can run to hundreds of kilobytes.

Verified against the built image: assets come back gzipped with Vary set,
662 KB to 209 KB; /api/events still returns text/event-stream with no
content-encoding and delivered a StateChange while mail was being written;
health is 47 bytes either way. No user-visible strings, so no catalogue work.

* Word the comment for either side compressing

The app compresses its own responses as of the follow-on change, so a note
saying the bundle ships uncompressed would be wrong as soon as that lands.
nginx passes through what the upstream already encoded rather than re-encoding
it -- verified single-encoded with both layers active -- so the directives are
correct either way and the comment now says so without asserting which side
does the work.

* Test compression against a fixture, not the web build

The compression tests asked for `/` and asserted a gzipped 200. That passes
locally, where `web/dist` is lying around from an earlier build, and fails in
CI, which runs `npm test` before `npm run build`: with no bundle the shell
route serves the "web build not found" fallback, which is short, plain text and
correctly uncompressed. The failure read as compression being broken when the
tests were simply depending on a build step that had not run.

They now build their own static root in a temp directory and point STATIC_DIR
at it, in a separate file so the environment is set before the app module is
imported. Checked by moving web/dist aside and running the suite the way CI
does.
2026-09-05 23:41:29 -07:00
jcoffey-dev c84f190f76 Check S/MIME signatures, and remember who signed
A signed message now says whether that holds up, as it is read. This is
verification only: nothing here signs, encrypts or decrypts, and the
private-key question that blocks those is untouched. Verifying needed
none of it, because the certificate travels inside the message -- which
is why this is the half that could be built.

What it checks. For multipart/signed carrying PKCS#7, the exact bytes of
the signed part -- headers included, canonicalised to CRLF -- are hashed
against the messageDigest attribute, and the signature over the signed
attributes is verified with WebCrypto against the certificate inside the
message. RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 and ECDSA over P-256/384/521, with SHA-256, 384
or 512.

The trust model is the design, and it is deliberately small. A browser
has no system trust store, and the certificate arrives inside the
message, so anyone can self-sign as anyone: on its own a good signature
shows only that the sender held the key they attached. So the word
"verified" is never rendered, and the reassuring case is not the loud
one. What carries the weight is remembering -- the first signed message
from an address pins its fingerprint, later ones are compared, and a
signer that changed is reported with both names and told to check by
another route. Trust on first use, no certificate authority anywhere.

The pins live in the account's settings rather than the browser: one
that only a single device knew would greet the same correspondent as new
everywhere else, which is how people are trained to click past the one
warning that matters. A pin records the message that created it, so the
message that established a signer keeps saying so instead of appearing
to be corroborated by itself -- without that, the very first signed
message anybody receives reads as "the same signer as before", where
before is itself. A changed, mismatched or expired signer is never
pinned, since writing the anomaly into the baseline makes every later
message agree with it.

Three things are declined rather than attempted, and all three say
"could not check" rather than "does not check out", because ignorance
and an accusation are different claims:

  - OpenPGP, by name. The signature carries no key and there is nowhere
    to get the sender's: x:PublicKey is the account's OWN registry, and
    a keyserver or WKD lookup would tell a third party who you
    correspond with -- the leak the image proxy exists to close.
  - SHA-1. Not forgeable in practice today, still not something to put a
    tick beside.
  - RSA-PSS, whose salt length lives in parameters this does not read.
    Guessing wrong would report a good signature as bad.

Nothing validates a chain: no CA bundle is shipped and revocation is not
checked. "Issued by" reports what the certificate claims, and a
self-signed one claims itself.

The DER, CMS, X.509 and MIME readers are hand-written and deliberately
narrow -- no new dependency, and the whole verifier is a lazily imported
8.6 kB chunk that a reader of unsigned mail never downloads. The one
place this is easy to get quietly wrong has its own function and its own
test: signed attributes are signed as a SET OF, not as the [0] IMPLICIT
they arrive as, and hashing the message instead would make every
signature "pass".

Tested against real `openssl smime -sign` output rather than hand-built
fixtures -- RSA, ECDSA, a tampered copy, and a valid signature by a
certificate for somebody else -- because a signed message written by
hand only agrees with whatever its author believed the format to be.
Also driven in a browser against the mock, which now serves three real
signed messages so every branch of the banner is reachable.

Translations: 34 new strings in all nine catalogues, 306 entries.
Falling back to English is unchanged at 24 per language.

jcoffey-dev 171c11fc92 Choose the Stalwart by the domain somebody signs in with
One ihasmail in front of several Stalwarts, from #238. STALWART_URL stays
required and stays the default, so an installation that sets nothing behaves
exactly as it always has -- the mapping only adds domains that go elsewhere.

An unlisted domain goes to the default. So does a bare username, which
Stalwart accepts and which has no domain to map at all.

A listed domain never falls back. If its server is unreachable that sign-in
fails rather than retrying against the default, because falling back would
authenticate somebody against a server their domain was deliberately routed
away from -- and if the same account name existed there, they would land in
another tenant's mailbox. The fallback is a decision about unmapped domains,
taken before any network call, not a recovery path.

Smaller than it sounds because only four places read config.stalwartUrl, all
in upstream.ts. The upstream session now records which server issued it, since
the relative URLs inside it only mean anything against that server, and every
route already holding a session gets the right upstream without a second
lookup. The client is untouched: it talks to one proxy and never learns there
is more than one server behind it, which is exactly why this is small and
several-servers-at-once is not.

The upstream is derived from the username rather than stored on the session,
so a mapping change takes effect on restart instead of being frozen into
sessions that outlive it.

Validated at boot the way the settings policy is: malformed JSON, a duplicate
domain once normalised, a missing file or a value that is not an http(s) URL
all stop the server. Domains are lower-cased and stripped of a trailing dot,
because that is how one arrives off a username and comparing them any other
way means a mapping that silently never matches. The servers themselves are
not contacted -- a mapping is a routing table, not a health check, and one
customer's outage must not stop ihasmail starting for the other four.

Eight tests on the routing, two on the shipped example, and the four refusals
checked by hand against a real config load.
2026-09-02 14:18:50 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 607afeb4ad Do not spend login attempts on an outage nobody caused
ihasmail runs in its own container, usually on its own host, so Stalwart being
briefly unreachable is an ordinary Tuesday. Sign-in handled it almost right:
a 401 is invalid_credentials, a timeout is 504 and anything else is 502, none
of which reads as a rejected password.

What it got wrong was the counting. RateLimiter.check() consumes an attempt
when it is called, and it is called before the upstream is contacted; reset()
only runs on success. So every try against an unreachable server burned a
credential attempt, and after ten of them the person was locked out for the
rest of the fifteen-minute window -- including after the server came back. A
thirty-second blip became a quarter-hour lockout, and the second failure was
entirely ihasmail's own doing.

A 401 is a judgement about the password and stays counted. A 502 or 504 is the
upstream failing to answer, says nothing about the credentials, and is now
refunded -- one attempt back, not the key cleared, so a run of real failures
with an outage in the middle still adds up. The old-server refusal refunds too:
those credentials were accepted.

Both guessing keys are refunded, not just the username one. Refunding only
that would not have fixed it -- ten retries still spend the per-address budget,
and behind one office NAT that budget belongs to the whole building, so a
company-wide outage would lock out the company.

Which needs a backstop, because "not counted" must not mean "unlimited": each
attempt still costs an outbound connection that may sit there until
UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT, and an outage is the one moment the endpoint is cheapest to
abuse. So there is a second ceiling per address, twenty times looser and never
refunded. A person retrying will not come near it; something hammering will.

Both messages now say the quiet part -- "This is not a problem with your
password" -- for somebody already worried they have forgotten it.

Closes #239.

jcoffey-dev a24b4c5538 Ship an example settings policy, and name the variables in .env.example
#231 added the policy but nothing to copy. The repo already answers this the
same way four times over -- Caddyfile.example, deploy.example.sh,
nginx.example.conf, .env.example -- and the new feature was the one thing
configurable here with no example beside it.

settings-policy.example.json carries all three sections with the reasoning in
it, including the part worth being deliberate about: a `changes` entry
overrides a decision a reader has already made, and if you want it to stay put
regardless that is `enforced` instead. JSON has no comments, so the commentary
is in `_`-prefixed keys, which is safe because the server reads three names and
ignores everything else.

A test asserts the shipped example stays valid against the rules the parser
enforces -- unique versions, settings objects, no comment key colliding with a
real section. An example that has drifted is worse than none: somebody copies
it, the server refuses to start, and the first experience of the feature is a
crash loop.

.env.example gains the four variables, commented out, with the file form and
the inline form and the note that the file wins over the variables.

Confirmed against the real image on the deploy host rather than reasoned
about: an immutable container -- --read-only, IMMUTABLE=1, SESSION_FILE=
empty -- starts and serves the policy both with a read-only file mount and
with the environment variables alone. The feature costs nothing in
immutability, because the only thing it writes is the applied-changes stamp,
and that goes in the reader's own settings file on Stalwart like every other
setting.

jcoffey-dev c31a653a04 Apply installation policy changes once each, per account
The last third of #207, and the only part that remembers anything.

An admin turns a setting on for people who are already here -- which a default
cannot do, since a default only seeds an account that has none -- and readers
may still turn it back off afterwards, which enforcement does not allow. The
difference between the two is entirely in the remembering.

Each change carries its own version, and an account stores the ones it has had
in its own settings file. Ids rather than a high-water mark, so a change dated
earlier than one already applied is not silently skipped -- the reporter's
analogy is a schema migration, and this is that shape.

Per account rather than per device, because ihasmail's settings are not
browser-local: they live in a file in the reader's own JMAP Files, with the
browser holding a cache. Signing in on a phone does not apply everything a
second time.

A change reaches somebody who had already decided otherwise. That is intended
and confirmed on the issue: the point is to reach everybody who is already
here. It is applied once, and their next decision sticks.

One `update` for however many are pending, since each would otherwise push a
settings file of its own. Enforced values still win, being applied after. A
change whose settings this build does not have at all is dropped rather than
recorded, or it would never run on the ihasmail that does have them.

The reader is told. A setting moving under somebody without a word is the part
of this worth being uneasy about, so the count is toasted with a way into
Settings.

README gains the Docker half the user asked for: a mounted policy file, the
same thing as environment variables for a deployment with no volume, a compose
fragment, and the fact that a policy is read once at startup so editing it
means a restart.

Closes #207.
2026-09-02 11:00:48 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 457ea53ca3 Let an installation seed and lock user settings
The first two thirds of #207. A school wanting "warn about outside senders"
on for three thousand pupils cannot ask three thousand pupils, and the
reporter is right that this is a company policy rather than a preference.

Two powers, and the difference between them is the whole request. `defaults`
seed an account that has never had settings of its own and can be changed
afterwards like anything else -- a starting point, not a rule. `enforced` are
reapplied on every load and cannot be changed at all.

Enforced controls stay visible and go dead, with a line saying why. The issue
asked for that by name: a control that is simply missing reads as a bug to
somebody who has used ihasmail without a policy.

The lock is in the settings store rather than only on the controls. There is
one door -- `update` -- and putting it there means an imported settings file,
a settings file synced from a device that predates the policy, and a control
somebody adds later and forgets to check are all covered by construction.
Reset goes back to the installation's answer rather than to ihasmail's, so it
cannot be a way around a policy either.

Configured by environment variable or by a file, because ihasmail's own
production runs read-only with no volume: an installation that cannot mount a
file can still set a variable. Keys this build does not have are dropped, the
same rule an imported settings file already gets -- a policy written against a
newer ihasmail must not put a setting nothing reads into everybody's synced
settings file. Malformed JSON stops the server rather than quietly doing
nothing, since a policy that silently did not apply is indistinguishable from
the feature not working.

Tier three -- enforcing a setting once while still letting readers change it
afterwards -- is not here. It needs a decision the reporter and I have not
made yet, and it is the only part that stores anything new.

jcoffey-dev 7b3069e41b Move an event by the days the hand moved it, not to the date dropped on
Dragging an event across the month grid wrote the date of the cell it
landed on into the event's stored start. Those are the same date only
while the event's time zone is the reader's.

An event kept in Asia/Tokyo at 15:00 is drawn to a reader in Phoenix at
23:00 the previous evening. Dropped on the 11th, it was written as the
11th in Tokyo -- which is the 10th on screen. It went where its own
calendar said rather than where the pointer did, one day short, every
time.

Moving by the difference between the two local days instead moves it
exactly as far as the hand did, and adding whole days to a stored wall
clock leaves the time of day alone without touching the zone -- so the
frame the rest of this path is careful about is still not crossed.

Found by giving the mock an event in a zone that is not the machine's.
Every other fixture used the machine's own, which cannot tell a correct
conversion from no conversion at all: the case that works is the one the
fixtures were all testing.

jcoffey-dev 4d18d94b63 Subscribe to a calendar published at a URL
A timetable, a rota, a public holiday list: the calendars people are given
as a link, which ihasmail could not show at all.

Nothing is stored. The document is fetched when the calendar is opened and
parsed in the browser; the server keeps no copy, no cache and no schedule,
which is what lets an immutable container serve this. There is no timer
either -- there is nowhere to run one -- so the guarantee is that a
subscription is as current as the last time somebody looked, which is also
when it matters. That is said plainly rather than implied.

The fetch has to happen on the server: a calendar URL belongs to whoever
published it and almost none of them send CORS headers. That makes it the
second place this app knocks on a door somebody else chose, so the guard
the image proxy has always had was lifted out and both now call it. A
second SSRF implementation is how one of them ends up missing a case; this
way there is one, and the extraction is covered by the image proxy's own
tests still passing unchanged.

webcal: is understood, because that is how these are published, and it is
read as https: rather than waved past the checks -- a webcal URL pointing
at loopback is refused exactly like an http one.

Recurrence is deliberately not expanded. RRULE is a small language with a
lot of edge cases, and a subscription quietly showing the wrong dates would
be worse than one showing the first occurrence and saying so.

The parser is a subscription parser rather than an importer: a subscribed
calendar is read-only and redrawn from scratch each refresh, so nothing has
to round-trip or survive an edit, which is most of what makes a full
iCalendar implementation large. What it does have to do is never mis-state
a time -- a DATE is built in local time rather than at UTC midnight, which
would land on the day before for anyone west of Greenwich -- and never hang
on a document somebody else wrote.

Events go through instancesIn like the birthdays, so no view has to know
they are not real calendars, and the calendar they hang off reports no
write rights, so everything that asks before offering an edit declines on
its own. A subscription that cannot be read says so in the sidebar rather
than drawing an empty calendar, which looks like a calendar with nothing
in it.

jcoffey-dev 34fc5ab81f Let the message list be sorted by something other than the date
Newest-first was the only order, so the mail you had not read yet was
wherever it happened to fall.

Seven presets and up to three levels of your own. It covers the Inbox
alone by default: unread-first is what people want in the folder they
triage and confusing in Sent, where everything is read and the order that
matters is when it went. Search keeps newest-first whatever the setting
says, since a result list is already ordered by the question that was
asked.

The server does the sorting, over the whole folder, for the same reason
search runs there: a list sorted in the browser is sorted only as far as
the browser has loaded, which on a folder of ten thousand is the first
fifty and a lie about the rest.

Two details that are easy to get wrong and were worth pinning in tests.
hasKeyword sorts a boolean and false comes before true, so "unread first"
is $seen ASCENDING while "starred first" is $flagged DESCENDING -- the
other way round. Getting either backwards puts exactly the mail you were
looking for at the bottom. And every order ends with newest-first as a
tiebreak, because a sort whose last level is a keyword or a subject leaves
every tie undefined, and an undefined order changes between two looks at
the same folder for no reason the reader can see.

Sorting on a keyword is optional in RFC 8621, and a server that will not
do it fails the whole query rather than degrading it -- so this setting
could turn a folder into one that does not open. The refusal is caught
once, the keyword levels dropped and the query retried, and nothing is
said: the reader asked for an order and got the closest the server can
give, and a toast on every folder change would be the app complaining
about its own request.

The mock now honours the sort instead of always answering newest-first,
which had it reproducing a server that silently returns a different order
from the one asked for -- the one shape of wrongness a client cannot
detect. MOCK_NO_KEYWORD_SORT=1 reproduces a server that refuses the
keyword sorts, so the fallback can be developed against.

Show birthdays from the address book as a calendar
2026-09-01 23:35:46 -07:00
jcoffey-dev c9ab203b76 Show birthdays from the address book as a calendar
The dates were already on the contact cards and nothing ever showed them,
so the one thing a birthday is for -- noticing it in time -- was the one
thing the app could not do with it.

Derived, not stored. The dates stay on the cards: a second copy of the
same fact drifts the first time somebody corrects one, and keeping a
calendar of its own is exactly what ihasmail does not do. Entries are
generated when a view asks for a range and vanish when the contact does.
They go through instancesIn like everything else, so no view has to know
they are different.

Off until switched on. It is derived data, and a calendar that fills
itself with dates nobody put there is a surprise rather than a feature. It
can also be hidden from the calendar's own sidebar without being turned
off, which is the same distinction the shared calendars already draw.

They cannot be edited or deleted, and that falls out of the design rather
than being special-cased: the virtual calendar reports no write rights, so
every control that already asks before offering Edit or Delete declines on
its own. updateEvent and destroyEvent refuse a synthesised id as well, so
the store is safe whatever calls it -- including anything added later.

Two things about the dates themselves. A card that records only a day and
month is the common case rather than the exceptional one, and gets a
birthday with no age rather than no birthday. And 29 February falls on the
28th in a year that has no 29th: somebody born in February has a birthday
in February, and moving it into March is the arithmetic winning over the
fact. Both are conventions; these are the ones that keep the fact intact.

The mock now carries birthdays on most of its contacts, including one with
no year and one on 29 February, so both cases are visible without a real
address book.

jcoffey-dev 9a474ef2c8 Open winmail.dat
Outlook sending in Rich Text packs every attachment into one TNEF blob.
Every other client shows a single unopenable winmail.dat, and the files
inside it are gone as far as the reader is concerned -- which is a
decoding problem rather than a mail one.

Written from the published format: a signature, a key, then a flat run of
attributes, each one a level byte, a 32-bit id carrying its own type, a
length, the data and a checksum. Attachments are delimited by
attAttachRenddata rather than named, which is why the parse is a small
state machine.

The MAPI property stream inside attAttachment is read for two properties:
the long filename and the MIME type. attAttachTitle carries an 8.3 name,
so a file that arrived as "Quarterly Report Final.docx" is QUARTE~1.DOC
there and correct here. The stream stops at a named property (id >=
0x8000) rather than guessing past it, since those carry a GUID before
their value and nothing after one can be trusted to stay aligned.

Decoded in the browser, on request. The server never sees the contents and
has nowhere to keep a decoded copy; doing the work on sight would spend
the bandwidth whether or not anybody wanted what is inside.

A blob that goes wrong part-way through keeps what was read before that
point, whether it ran out or the checksum stopped matching. Half the
attachments beats none: the alternative is a reader who can see the file
is there and cannot have it. The original stays attached either way.

The message body is deliberately not decoded. TNEF can also carry it as
compressed RTF, which is a second format again for a body the reader
already has in plain text or HTML nine times in ten.

The mock now sends one, built by its own encoder rather than by the
parser's fixtures, so the two are independent implementations of the same
description.

Coffey Labs 255616341b Merge pull request #201 from Coffey-Labs/feat/base-path
Serve ihasmail from a subpath
2026-09-01 22:47:53 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 93d0a32af2 Serve ihasmail from a subpath
`BASE_PATH=/mail` mounts the whole app under a prefix, for a host that is not
ihasmail's alone. Unset -- every deployment that exists -- is the domain root
and is byte-for-byte what it was: the canonical form of the setting is the
empty string, and `""` concatenated onto `/api/health` is `/api/health`.

That choice of canonical form is the whole design. A trailing slash would have
been the obvious alternative, and it fails quietly in exactly one place: at the
root it makes `//api/health`, which is not a path on this host but a
protocol-relative URL to a host called `api`. One call site forgetting to
branch is a request leaving the origin. So the empty string, one leading slash,
no trailing one, worked out once in `scripts/basePath.mjs` -- plain JS, next to
`version.mjs`, because the web build and the server both have to reach the same
answer and two implementations of "what does /mail/ mean" is precisely the bug
where the server serves an app whose script tags point somewhere else.
`/mail`, `mail`, `/mail/` and `//mail//` all mean the same mount; a deployment
should not fail over a trailing slash.

Unlike everything else ihasmail is told, this one cannot wait for the process
to start. The bundle writes its own asset URLs into index.html, so `BASE_PATH`
is read at build time for Vite's `base` as well as at run time for the routes,
and the Dockerfile carries one value into both. Get them out of step and the
page comes up blank with a 404 in a console nobody has open -- so the static
handler, which is reading index.html anyway, checks what it asks for and says
so in the log once per build.

Everything moves together. The API mounts at `${base}/api`; the router is
given the base once, so every `<Route path>` and `<Link href>` stays written
root-absolute and wouter does the rest; `apiFetch` adds the prefix in one place
rather than at forty call sites; the session cookie's Path narrows to the mount
so two instances on one host cannot sign each other out.

Two things need no prefix at all, and it is worth saying why they were not
given one. A manifest's members resolve against the manifest's own address, so
relative URLs there follow the mount with nothing substituted at build time --
which is also why `public/` needed no template step. The service worker is the
same trick: it is served from the mount, so `new URL("./", self.location)`
tells it where that is, and a worker that derives the value cannot disagree
with the page that registered it.

Anything outside the mount is a 404 rather than the app shell, and
`stripBasePath` does not use `startsWith` -- under `/mail` this process shares
a hostname, and answering `/mailbox` with our index would shadow a neighbour
instead of letting it 404 honestly. For the same reason the notification-click
handler now checks the path as well as the origin: `includeUncontrolled` widens
`matchAll` to the whole origin, which off the root would have navigated a
stranger's tab to our inbox.

Inline images in a draft were the one silent trap. They are matched by their
blob URL on the way out, once unanchored and once anchored, and a bare
`/api/blob/` still appears inside `/mail/api/blob/...` -- so one pattern would
have replaced the tail and left `/mail` in front of a `cid:`, and the other
would have missed and sent the message linking to the sender's own webmail.
Both patterns are built from the base now.

jcoffey-dev 63c2839602 Show what the spam filter said, in the message details
The filter in front of the mailbox scores every delivered message and
writes its working into headers, and none of it was being read. A message
in Junk gave no reason for being there.

Nothing here scores anything. The headers are parsed and shown, so this
cannot disagree with the filter that actually made the decision.

Two formats cover what sits in front of a Stalwart mailbox in practice:
the SpamAssassin-shaped X-Spam-* set, which Stalwart's own filter writes,
and Rspamd's X-Spamd-Result. A header in neither shape is left unread
rather than guessed at, since a misparsed score shown confidently is worse
than no panel at all. Mail that arrived without any of them shows nothing.

Rules are listed largest mover first and signed, because which way a rule
pushed is the point, and the biggest contributor is the answer to why the
message scored what it did.

Two things it deliberately will not do. A score is always given the
threshold it was measured against, because 6.7 is damning against 5 and
unremarkable against 15 -- the number alone is not something a reader can
act on; where no threshold was stated, it says so rather than implying
one. And where the filter recorded no verdict, none is derived from score
against threshold: the filter applies policy we cannot see, and putting a
verdict in its mouth would be inventing one.

The mock writes the same headers at delivery -- spam in Junk, clean in the
Inbox, nothing on mail this account wrote -- so the panel can be developed
and demoed against it.

jcoffey-dev 15f2c3d357 Read a Markdown file as the document it is
A .md previewed as its own source, which is reading the punctuation
rather than the notes. It now opens rendered, with Rendered | Source in
the dialog footer for anyone who wants what the file actually says.
Markdown only; a .txt has nothing to toggle between.

Rendering is `marked`, sanitised by DOMPurify -- the one the app already
carries for mail. Markdown is not a safe subset of anything: raw HTML
passes through it by design, so a <script> in a file somebody uploaded or
shared into the account is a script tag unless something takes it out.

Images become links rather than pictures. An image in a Markdown file is
either a relative path, which has no base to resolve against here, or a
URL somewhere else, which fetches on open and tells that server the file
was read -- the tracking pixel this app blocks in mail. The link keeps
the alt text and the address, so nothing vanishes silently.

Fixes the PDF preview while here, which never worked: securityHeaders
put X-Frame-Options: DENY on every response including the blob route, so
the iframe showed Chrome's "refused to connect" where the file should
have been -- in Files today and in mail attachments long before that.
The middleware now leaves a header the route has set, and a PDF served
inline says SAMEORIGIN. Nothing else on the server is framable.

jcoffey-dev c4649e0084 Say what the availability bar is showing, and show all of it
The bar was a day wide whatever it was drawing. It began at midnight on
the event's start day and stopped 24 hours later, so an event running over
two days showed availability for the first of them and gave no sign there
was more. And it carried no marks at all, which left "is this the whole
day or only working hours" unanswerable without dragging the event about
to see where its own outline moved.

It now covers whole days from the day the event starts to the day it ends,
and the free/busy lookup asks for the same range it draws. Above the bars
is an axis: hours every three across a single day, every six across two,
day names beyond that. The marks are drawn down the bars too, so a busy
block can be read against the hour it starts at rather than guessed at.

Whole days, always. A bar starting at the event's own start time would
move under the reader every time they adjusted it, and "busy from about a
third of the way along" is not a time anybody can read.

A week is as far as it goes. Something running longer is not an event
anybody is hunting a free slot in, and a month at eight pixels a day would
say nothing; it says how many days it left out instead.

The span is measured between two real midnights rather than counted in
24-hour days, because twice a year they differ, and every position on the
bar is a fraction of it.

The mock answered with a single busy block on the first day whatever range
it was asked for -- all a day-wide bar could show -- which would have left
a multi-day bar looking like everyone was free from the second day on. It
now answers across the range.

This is parts 1 and 2 of #172. The separate multi-day scheduling view it
also asks for is still open, and needs an answer first on what to show for
participants who have no free/busy to read.

jcoffey-dev 6431ec87f5 Import an iCal file into a calendar
An .ics reaches you by ways that are not your mailbox -- a ticketing
system a customer invited, a colleague's export, a booking confirmation
forwarded on -- and until now the only events ihasmail could take were the
ones attached to a message it had received.

The calendar's own menu now offers "Import iCAL file…", which files
everything in the file into that calendar. No global button: the issue is
right that this is not a frequent enough thing to earn one.

The parsing is the server's, through the same CalendarEvent/parse an
emailed invitation already goes through. An .ics is not a format worth
reimplementing in a browser, and Stalwart's reader handles what a
hand-rolled one would not.

Every event goes out in a single CalendarEvent/set. The round trips are
the smaller half of the reason: createEvent invalidates on the way out and
invalidating refetches every cached range, so a year of events imported
one at a time would refetch the calendar a few hundred times.

Nothing is mailed to anyone named in the file. Importing is filing
something you already have, and scheduling messages would be a surprise to
its participants.

The mock's parser read the whole file with one regex and returned one
event, which is all an invitation ever needed. It now reads per VEVENT, so
a multi-event file can be tested against it, and it invents an organiser
and an attendee only for events that carry a METHOD -- a plain export is
not addressed to anyone.

Closes #173

jcoffey-dev 562cee82ce Renew the push subscription, so it does not lapse in a week
Background notifications were built, verified against a live server, and then
went quiet a few days later on every device that had them. A JMAP push
subscription expires -- seven days is the ceiling -- and re-registering before
it lapses is the client's job. Nothing did: enableWebPush() was reachable only
from the switch in Settings, so the subscription was registered once, expired,
and stayed expired. Nobody reports that as a bug. They report that push does
not really work.

It is renewed on every app start now, which is the only place it can be: the
registration is a JMAP call and the service worker has no session cookie to
make one with. So the guarantee is that push keeps working as long as ihasmail
is opened now and again, and a two-day renewal window against a seven-day
ceiling means once a week is enough. Registering is the same call as turning it
on -- deviceClientId makes a repeat replace rather than accumulate -- so there
is no second path to get wrong.

Two more things in the same area, both of which produce the same silence:

- webPushActive() asked whether the *account* had any subscription, so the
  moment one device had one, every other device showed the switch already on.
  A phone that had never successfully registered, or whose registration had
  since expired, read as on and delivered nothing. It matches on the device now.
- Turning push on reused an existing browser subscription and gave up if there
  was none. A browser drops or rotates one on its own, and there is no tab open
  to hear the pushsubscriptionchange when it does, so that state was permanent.
  Renewal re-subscribes rather than bailing.

Whether this browser has push on is now remembered locally, which is what
renewal keys off. It is per browser rather than per account on purpose: a
subscription is an endpoint and a device, and a phone having push says nothing
about the desktop. It is not kept across sign-out, matching sign-out already
destroying the subscription itself.

The mock is the reason this was invisible in development: it handed back
expires: null, so a client that never renewed worked perfectly against it
forever. It expires a subscription in seven days now, which is what makes
"does this client renew?" a question the mock can answer.

Checked against the mock: a create returns an expiry seven days out that
survives PushSubscription/get and parses, renewing the same deviceClientId
replaces rather than accumulates, and a device with no registration of its own
finds nothing where the old code saw two subscriptions and said yes. What the
live Stalwart sets for expires is not confirmed -- if it sets none, renewal
correctly does nothing and the other two fixes still stand.

jcoffey-dev 06943fd473 Mock: let an override move an occurrence, as the server does
Confirmed live on 0.16.20 (2026-08-31): one occurrence of a weekly 09:00
series moved to 14:00 comes back with `start` at 14:00 and
`recurrenceId` still at 09:00. The slot the rule made stays put; only the
clock time moves.

The mock set `start` from the slot after merging the override, so it
clobbered any `start` the override carried and a moved occurrence did not
move. Per-occurrence *time* editing - one of the main things the feature
is for - therefore looked broken against the mock and correct against the
server, which is the wrong way round for a mock to be wrong.

It also confirms the choice of handle: `recurrenceId` is the one name for
an instance that survives both a renumbering and a move, which is why the
store re-resolves from it rather than from `start` or a cached id.
2026-08-30 21:49:53 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 91481965bc Calendar: never mutate an occurrence by an id we are holding
Verified against the live 0.16.20 instance, which found two things the
mock had guessed wrong about.

A synthetic id encodes a position in the expanded series, and writing a
`recurrenceOverrides` entry renumbers it. A five-week series came back as
`e i m q u` over 03-01..03-29; after one override was written to 03-08
the same five ids addressed 03-01, 03-15, 03-29, 03-08 and 03-22. Nothing
was rejected. A stale id is not invalid, it is wrong - a confident answer
about the wrong day - so a delete meant for one occurrence removes
another.

`recurrenceId` is the stable name for a slot in a series, because it is
the date. `updateEvent` and `destroyEvent` now look the current id up by
it immediately before acting, and refuse outright when the date has left
the series rather than falling back to the id in hand.

The mock had this exactly backwards: it kept ids stable on purpose, which
agreed with the belief that is wrong. It now renumbers too - a different
permutation to Stalwart's, with the property that matters - and a test
holds an id across a write and watches it change meaning.

Second finding: the inherited properties are dropped *after* the server
has decided to write an override, so a patch made only of them still
writes one, carrying the server-filled start and duration and nothing
else. `{"privacy":"private"}` on one occurrence answered "updated", left
privacy untouched, and left that date with no title at all. Sending
nothing when narrowing empties a patch was written as a principle - a
request whose response could only be a meaningless "updated" is worse
than no request - and it turns out to prevent real data loss.

Both recorded in KNOWN-ISSUES with the dates they were confirmed on.

jcoffey-dev dd8998f178 Calendar: edit and delete a single occurrence
Closes #132.

Stalwart 0.16.20 accepts a synthetic id on `CalendarEvent/set`, writing a
`recurrenceOverrides` entry rather than touching the series, so editing
one date of a recurring event is now something the server does and this
does too.

Editing asks the scope *before* the form opens, because it decides which
event the form is even about: a form populated from the master shows the
series' start date, so editing Wednesday's standup would have offered to
move Monday's. Deleting asks in place of the old confirm.

The patch is narrowed rather than posted hopefully. 0.16.20 sorts
per-occurrence properties into three groups and only one is honest: ten
are refused with `invalidProperties`, twelve more are dropped from the
patch while the response still reports success, and the rest are applied.
That silent middle group is how #26 reached a live server - a successful
response is not evidence anything was written - so `occurrencePatch`
throws on the first group, reports the second to the caller, and the
editor leaves out the five it always sends. A patch that would be
entirely dropped is not sent at all.

The refusal for an occurrence of a this-and-future change offers the
series instead of a bare error toast. Nothing here writes one of those,
but an event synced from another client can carry one.

Two things the scope prompt cost, both worth knowing. A dialog is queued
in a store the moment it is asked for, so it outlives the effect that
asked: without a ref guard a remount queues a second prompt the first
answer cannot retract. And gating the *answer* on the effect's cleanup
flag is worse - StrictMode runs mount, cleanup, mount, so the flag is
already set by the time anyone clicks and the editor never opens.

The mock expands recurrences for the first time, which is what makes any
of this developable. It hands out synthetic ids for everything including
one-offs, gives occurrences a `recurrenceId` and no rule, and reproduces
the refusals - including the silent drops, since a mock that applied them
would let a client that sends them look correct everywhere but a real
server.

jcoffey-dev 95f640b24c Point at the Coffey-Labs organisation
The repositories moved off LINUXexpert-org. The old URLs redirect, so
nothing was broken, but a redirect is not a correct address to publish.

The SOURCE_URL defaults matter most: the AGPL asks whoever runs a
modified version to offer that version's source, and the sign-in page and
About screen show this link. It is in four places that have to agree --
the compose file, .env.example, the server default and the web fallback.

The rest is documentation and issue links.

jcoffey-dev 2f55b1e3e1 Stop borrowing Stalwart's version number
The middle field was the Stalwart generation a build targeted -- 16 for
0.16 -- which leaves nowhere to go when Stalwart reaches 1.0. There is no
honest value for it: 2.1 sorts below the 2.16 already deployed, so every
image and About screen would have read as a downgrade. Tying our
numbering to somebody else's was the mistake, and which Stalwart a build
needs is said properly in the README badge and KNOWN-ISSUES, where it can
be precise rather than one digit.

The version is now the date of the commit it was built from, and the pull
request moves after the + as build metadata. It is provenance rather than
a rank: at the rate they merge here it climbs without bound and says
nothing about how new a build is. Everything after the + is ignored when
versions are compared, which reads correctly -- two builds from the same
day differ in where they came from, not in age -- and nothing depends on
that comparison anyway, since images are pruned by creation time and a
rollback names a git ref.

The date is the commit's own, so rebuilding an old commit gives the
version it had the first time. package.json is no longer the source of
anything and sits at 0.0.0, which is what an unversioned build reports
and is meant to look wrong.

The formatting is a pure function now, so the rules have tests. They had
none while the version was the thing naming every image we ship.

jcoffey-dev 0277b5b6a8 Send the length of the bytes we are actually sending
A gzip response is decompressed before the blob proxy sees the body, but
its content-length still describes the compressed bytes. Copying that
header onto the longer body made the browser stop reading that many bytes
in and call the download complete, so files arrived truncated with nothing
reporting a failure.

It took a hop that compresses to show up, and one that only compresses
above a threshold to look like a race: a Sieve script stayed intact for two
rules and came back cut off mid-rule once the third pushed it past 1 KiB.

Ask upstream for identity, and forward no length at all rather than one
that describes different bytes.
2026-08-30 13:46:05 -07:00
jcoffey-dev f72c67864e Let the container run with nothing writable
The server writes to one path and no other: SESSION_FILE, from sessions.ts.
Everything else it touches on disk it only reads. So a container with a
read-only root filesystem already works -- except that `VOLUME ["/data"]`
quietly undid it. Docker acts on that directive: a container started without
`-v` gets an anonymous volume mounted there anyway, writable even under
`--read-only`. It persisted nothing across a redeploy, since each new container
got a fresh empty volume, and it left an orphan behind every time one was
replaced. Deployments that want the sessions to survive already say so
themselves -- docker-compose.yml and deploy.example.sh both mount a named
volume -- so removing the line changes nothing for them.

IMMUTABLE=1 asserts that this is how the instance is running. It is checked
rather than believed: the server refuses to start if SESSION_FILE is still set,
or if the filesystem it is installed on turns out to be writable. Left
unchecked the misconfiguration is silent, because persisting sessions is
best-effort -- a read-only /data costs one warning at the first sign-in and
nothing more until the instance is replaced and everyone is signed out.

SessionBackend names what the rest of the server asks of a session store, and
`sessions` in app.ts is typed as it. Nothing changes today; SessionStore is
still the only implementation. It is there so the OAuth work is written against
the interface rather than the class, and so the interface can record which of
its methods a stateless backend could satisfy alone: create, resolve, reseal
and destroy each touch one session, while listForUser and destroyAllForUser
have to reach sessions other than the caller's. The second of those carries the
guarantee that changing a password invalidates the sessions still holding the
old one, which is why it needs a registry -- Stalwart's token registry, once
sign-in goes through OAuth.

jcoffey-dev 4c4821b5db Ask for shareWith on mailboxes too
The third store fetching everything by asking for nothing. Same cause as
the calendars and address books a commit ago: Stalwart does not return
`shareWith` unless a client names it, so mail folders never looked shared
either.

This one has a narrow but real consequence. Sharing a mail folder is
withdrawn, because Stalwart stores the share and never delivers it, and
the only way left to clear one already made is the "Stop sharing" entry
-- which appears only when a folder looks shared. Without the property it
never did. The escape hatch built for exactly that situation could not be
reached from the situation it was built for.

Found by looking for the rest of them rather than waiting for the next
report: `ids: null` with no `properties`, across the app. The others it
turned up -- Sieve scripts, identities, the vacation response, quotas,
participant identities, push subscriptions -- have no `shareWith` to
lose, so mailboxes were the last.

The mock hides it here as well now, so all three are honest.
2026-08-27 13:33:04 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 506865ca67 Ask for shareWith, or the server does not send it
Nothing was ever badged as shared, "Stop sharing" never appeared, and the
share dialog opened on "not shared with anyone yet" over live shares. The
sharing itself was fine. The client simply never learned about it.

Stalwart does not return `shareWith` unless a client names it. A
`Calendar/get` or `AddressBook/get` with no `properties` comes back
without the field at all -- not null, not empty, absent -- confirmed
against the live 0.16.19 on a calendar and an address book that really
were shared with another account. Omit the list and there is no
`shareWith`; name it and the sharee is right there.

Both stores fetched everything by asking for nothing, and got less than
they would have by asking. They name the properties now.

The dialog is the part worth dwelling on. It seeds itself from the
`shareWith` it was handed, so it has been showing an empty sharee list on
collections that were shared -- the one screen whose whole job is
managing sharing, and the one most confidently wrong about it. Someone
looking there to see who had access, or to take it away, was told there
was nobody.

Files never had this: `fileNodeProps` has named the property since file
sharing went in, for the same reason and after the same surprise. The two
stores that fetched with `ids: null` and no properties are the two that
were blind.

The mock now omits it the same way. One that hands `shareWith` over
unasked lets a client that never asks look correct everywhere except
against a real server, which is exactly how this got here.

Verified against that mock: sharing a calendar puts the sharee in the
store, badges the row, adds "Stop sharing", and the dialog lists them --
while a `Calendar/get` with no properties still comes back without the
field, so the mock is now failing the way the server does.
2026-08-27 13:25:00 -07:00
jcoffey-dev cd402a6ce4 Make the mock report what changed
Two silences, and between them the whole change-reconciliation path was
untestable here.

`Email/set` never announced anything. A real server pushes a state change
after a set and the client acts on it -- `Email/changes`, then the store
deciding what to do with the answer. The mock said nothing, so that path
simply did not run.

And `Email/changes` returned three empty arrays whatever had happened. So
even when it was asked, the answer was that nothing had changed.

Together they meant every version of the mark-read code has been checked
against a server that never reported the change being made. That is how
#100 reached production, and why the fix for it could be verified in the
message view -- where the flicker partly was -- while whatever remains
stayed invisible, because the code that runs when the server answers back
has never run here at all.

The mock now records what each set created, updated and destroyed against
the state it happened in, answers `Email/changes` from that log, and
broadcasts afterwards the way Stalwart does.

This is a mock change on its own. It fixes nothing and is not meant to:
it makes a path testable that was not, which is the prerequisite for
finding what is left of #100 rather than guessing at it. I had a theory
about `fullIds` eviction and reverted it -- three attempts to reproduce
the symptom against this mock failed, which was itself the finding.
2026-08-27 12:40:09 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 5e5bec31b7 Remember an added address book when the server will not
"You are not allowed to modify this address book." That is Stalwart's
answer to a sharee subscribing to a book shared read-only, and it is a
fair one: `isSubscribed` lives on the collection rather than on the
reader, so adding one is a write to the *owner's* account. The identical
write on a shared calendar is accepted. The difference is the server's.

So the flag is still asked for first -- a preference the server holds is
one every client agrees about -- and when it is refused the answer goes
in the reader's own synced settings instead, as `addedShares`, keyed by
account and collection. Either record counts as added, and the rule has
a test of its own because three components ask the question and they
must not drift apart.

Two things about how this hid. The refusal arrives as a *successful*
response with the id in `notUpdated`, so the version that ignored it saw
nothing wrong and the button simply did nothing -- fixed a commit ago,
and it is what turned "the + does nothing in Firefox" into a sentence
from the server. And it cannot be seen from the owner's account at all,
where the write succeeds: it took two browsers signed in as two accounts
to find, which is why it survived every check made from one.

The mock refuses the same write for the same reason. One that accepted
it would have gone on agreeing with the belief that shipped.

Verified against it: adding the shared book is refused by the server,
recorded in settings, and the book moves to "Shared with me" with its
contacts reaching the To field; removing undoes all three; and it
survives a full page reload, which is the point of putting it where the
settings live rather than in this tab.
2026-08-27 12:06:18 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 0215255280 Add a shared calendar or address book, rather than being given it
An account linked for its files also offered its calendar and its address
book, and neither had been shared. That was not ihasmail inventing them:
asked about the other account, the live 0.16.19 returns every calendar
and every book it holds, each with full rights -- read, write, share,
delete, all true. There is nothing in the rights to tell "shared with me"
from "reachable at all", because the server does not distinguish them.

`isSubscribed` does, and it is the field JMAP has for exactly this: it
came back false on all of them. So a shared calendar or book is listed
under "Shared with me" once the reader has added it, and under "Available
to add" until then, with one button either way.

Nothing unsubscribed contributes anything. A calendar that has not been
added draws no events, and a book that has not been added lends no cards
to the To field -- which is the one that mattered most, since it is the
difference between offering a colleague's contacts and offering a
stranger's without anyone having asked.

The mock's shared calendar and address book now arrive unsubscribed, the
way the real server hands them over, so the adding is exercised rather
than skipped; and its `Calendar/set` and `AddressBook/set` route by
account, since subscribing to somebody else's is a write to their
account and the mock had nowhere to put it.

Verified against the mock: the shared calendar sits under "Available to
add" with no events in the grid, adding it moves it to "Shared with me"
and its events appear, removing it undoes both; and `suggest("katherine")`
finds nothing until the shared book is added, then finds her.
2026-08-27 11:16:30 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 270fb3d32c Shared calendars in the calendar, and no more account switcher
Three things from using it on two real accounts.

A calendar shared with you never appeared. Nothing was wrong with the
share -- the calendar had nowhere to be shown. Calendars loaded from one
account and one only, so the sharer's were reachable solely by switching
the whole app to their account, which is the door being closed below.
They now sit under "Shared with me" beside the reader's own, in their own
colour, with their events in the grid and a click to hide them like any
other calendar.

Their events go through `instancesIn`, the one funnel every view already
reads, so month, week, day and agenda got them without being touched.
Events and calendars from another account are keyed by account as well as
id, and hiding one is remembered under the same key: an id means nothing
outside the account holding it, and two accounts sharing an id is
ordinary rather than unlucky.

An account that shared nothing was listed in Files as though it had.
Every non-personal account was offered on the reasoning that its folders
could speak for themselves -- but an account whose *calendar* was shared
has no folders to speak with, and appeared as an invitation to open an
empty pane. Each is now asked for one file before being listed, and
silence is taken for an answer.

And the account switcher is gone from the profile menu. It existed to
reach what other people shared and was the wrong door: it moved the whole
app to somebody else's account, and since Stalwart advertises every
capability on a shared account, mail, calendar and contacts went with it
and were refused. Everything it was for is now in the module the share
belongs to, found without anyone needing to know an account was involved.

What this does not prove is that Stalwart delivers a calendar share at
all. The mock says the client handles one, which is the half that was
missing; whether the server behaves like address books, which work, or
like mail folders, which do not, needs the two accounts again.
2026-08-27 10:57:27 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 350f4f4197 Put address books in the left pane, other people's included
Address book sharing was withdrawn a few hours ago on a report that it
behaved like mail folder sharing. That was wrong -- it works -- and it is
back, built the way Files is rather than the way it was.

Three things it inherits from Files. Shared books are listed in the app's
own left pane instead of behind an account switch in the profile menu.
The reader's books and other people's sit under separate headings, since
a book belonging to somebody else behaves differently and a single merged
list would be quiet about whose contacts you are reading. And opening
Contacts re-reads the session, so a book shared while the tab was open
turns up without signing out and in again.

The books pane the view kept to itself is gone, and with it the last
module that ignored the sidebar it was given.

The one thing Files does not need: shared contacts have to answer when
somebody types a name into a To field, so they are loaded up front rather
than when a book is opened, and they are offered by `suggest` and found
by `lookupByEmail` alongside the reader's own. Their own cards win a tie,
since a card someone wrote themselves should beat a colleague's copy of
the same person. That is the difference between a shared book you can
look at and one you can use.

Cards from a shared account are held apart from the reader's rather than
merged in, and keyed by account as well as id. Ids are only unique within
an account -- two accounts each having a book `ab1` is ordinary -- and a
flat map would have had one silently replace the other.

The mock grew an address book in its shared account, with contacts in it,
because none of this could be exercised otherwise.

KNOWN-ISSUES records the withdrawal as the mistake it was rather than
leaving it in the history looking like a finding. Mail folder sharing
stays withdrawn: that one really is broken.
2026-08-27 10:40:50 -07:00
jcoffey-dev ad94efb65b Reach shared folders from Files, not the profile menu
A folder somebody shared was reachable only by switching the whole app
to their account from the profile menu -- which nobody would think to
look in for files, and which pointed mail, calendar and contacts at them
as well. The server refused all three, so nothing leaked; it was simply
the app claiming to be somewhere it could not go.

Files now lists shared accounts itself, under "Shared with me", and opens
them in place. Only Files moves: `accountId` in its store is the account
being browsed, `ownAccountId` is the reader's, and nothing else in the
app notices.

Which accounts hold shared files cannot be worked out from capabilities.
Stalwart advertises the whole set on a shared account -- mail, calendars,
contacts, sieve, the lot, identical to a personal one, whatever was
actually shared (checked live on 0.16.19, 2026-08-27). That is why
routing alone could never have fixed this, and why the list offers every
account that is not the reader's own and lets its folders answer for
themselves. The mock's shared account now advertises the same full set,
because a mock that quietly advertised only what it shared would agree
with a fix that cannot work.

Shares also went unseen until the next sign-in. They arrive in the JMAP
session, which is fetched once and refreshed only when a session-state
change is pushed to that tab -- so a share granted while the tab was open
stayed invisible, and one removed stayed on offer. That is the two
browsers disagreeing about whether an account still existed. Opening
Files now re-reads the session, throttled, and the section header carries
a refresh for when someone is waiting on a share they have just been
promised.

The sidebar's button on Files was Compose, which wrote mail from the file
manager. It uploads.

Verified against the mock, which grew a second account to make any of
this testable: "Shared with me" lists it, opening it shows its folders
and not the reader's, the header says whose they are, "Back to my files"
returns, and the profile menu is not involved at any point.
2026-08-27 10:13:58 -07:00
jcoffey-dev f70eb184c2 A folder tree, and dragging things into it
Files had a breadcrumb and a Move to… dialog. Moving anything meant
opening a dialog and walking down the folder you wanted, which is a lot
of ceremony for something every file manager does by dragging, and there
was nowhere to see the shape of the account at all.

There is now a folder tree in the sidebar, beside the mailbox tree it
borrows its look from. Rows in the list and folders in the tree can be
dragged onto any folder in either, and folders dropped from outside are
uploaded with their structure intact.

The tree arrives in a single query. `filter: { nodeType: "directory" }`
returns every folder in the account -- checked against 0.16.19 on
2026-08-27 -- so nothing waits on an expand, and a drag knows every
folder it could land on including ones nobody has opened. It is
deliberately its own request: a filter Stalwart refuses fails with a
request-level 400 that takes every method call in the request with it,
which `{ parentId: null }` does, so a per-level query batched alongside
the listing would blank the whole view rather than just the sidebar.

Two things the writing of this turned up.

The mock ignored the `nodeType` filter the live server applies, so the
tree asked for directories, was handed files as well, and drew them as
folders you could open into nothing. The mock now filters the way 0.16.19
does. The store also filters again on the way in, because a tree that
believes whatever a server sends is a tree that draws files as folders on
the next server that gets this wrong.

And the drag state was per-pane, which cannot work: a drag that starts in
the list has to be recognised by the tree, and the pane that did not
start it never lit up or accepted the drop. Dropping still worked, since
the drop handler re-checks from the drag itself -- which is why this
would have shipped looking fine and been unusable. It lives in the store
now, with the reason written down.

Dropping a folder in goes through `webkitGetAsEntry`, which is
non-standard in name and universal in practice. Its `readEntries` returns
*up to* some entries per call and signals the end with an empty array, so
a single read loses everything past the first batch. Both bounds in there
-- depth, and entries per directory -- exist because a directory tree
from outside the app is not something to take on trust; the test that
covers the second one found the version without it looping for ever.

Verified against the mock: a row dragged onto a folder in the tree lights
the target, is accepted, and moves it on the server; a top-level folder
dragged to All files is refused as the no-op it is; the tree's own menu
creates, renames, shares and deletes; and the tree lists folders only.
2026-08-27 09:19:54 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 6566f4c2d3 Share files and folders with other people
Calendars and address books have been shareable since JMAP Sharing went
in; Files never was, though Stalwart treats file storage as a first-class
thing to share and ihasmail has carried the types for it all along.
`FilesRights` and `FileNode.shareWith` were already declared -- what was
missing was asking for the property, offering the dialog, and saying so
in the list.

Checked against the live 0.16.19 first, read-only, because building a
picker against a mock that agrees with you proves nothing:

  - `FileNode/get` returns `shareWith`, and `myRights` carries all six
    rights, `mayShare` among them and true on one's own nodes. So the
    menu entry has a real right to gate on -- unlike folder sharing,
    which is offered ungated because `MailboxRights` has no such right
  - `Principal/query` answers now that `allowDirectoryQueries` is on:
    six individuals, no groups
  - `ShareNotification/get` is implemented, which is worth knowing for
    later; nothing here reads it yet

The editor preset grants read, add files and edit contents, and stops
there. Rename and delete stay with whoever shared the folder: someone
given a folder to work in should not be able to rename the thing they
were given, or delete it out from under the person who shared it. Both
are still there to tick by hand.

One finding is worth a test of its own, and has one. Stalwart answers
`shareWith` as `{}` for a node shared with nobody, not `null` -- every
unshared node in a live account came back that way. A truthiness test on
the property is therefore true for every node the server has ever
returned, and the badge driven by it would report the whole account as
shared while being, technically, about the right property. `isShared`
counts keys, and the test says why.

Verified against the mock end to end: sharing Documents with a principal
as Editor persists `mayRead`, `mayAddChildren` and `mayModifyContent` and
nothing else, the badge appears on that folder and not on the file beside
it, and re-opening the dialog shows the saved rights rather than an empty
form -- which is what proves `fileNodeProps` is really asking for the
property.
2026-08-27 09:07:13 -07:00
