* Stop returning a body from `POST /api/password`.Owen Jacobson2025-08-24
|
* Stop returning body data from `POST /api/auth/login`.Owen Jacobson2025-08-24
| | | | As with `/api/setup`, the response was an ad-hoc choice, which we are not using and which constrains future development just by existing.
* Hoist `password` out to the top level.Owen Jacobson2025-08-24
| | | | Having this buried under `crate::user` makes it hard to split up the roles `user` fulfils right now. Moving it out to its own module makes it a bit tidier to reuse it in a separate, authentication-only way.
* Rust 1.89: Add elided lifetime parameters (`'_`) where appropriate.Owen Jacobson2025-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rust 1.89 added a new warning: warning: hiding a lifetime that's elided elsewhere is confusing --> src/setup/repo.rs:4:14 | 4 | fn setup(&mut self) -> Setup; | ^^^^^^^^^ ----- the same lifetime is hidden here | | | the lifetime is elided here | = help: the same lifetime is referred to in inconsistent ways, making the signature confusing help: use `'_` for type paths | 4 | fn setup(&mut self) -> Setup<'_>; | ++++ I don't entirely agree with the style advice here, but lifetime elision style is an evolving area in Rust and I'd rather track the Rust team's recommendations than invent my own, so I've added all of them.
* Define ID types as specializations, rather than newtypes.Owen Jacobson2025-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is based heavily on the work done for normalized strings, in `crate::normalize`. The key realization in that module is that the logic distinguishing one kind of thing (normalized strings in that case, IDs, in this case) can be packaged up as a type token, and that doing so may reduce the overall complexity. This implementation for ID also borrows heavily from the implementation for normalized strings. It's less flexible: an ID implemented this way can't expose _less_ of `crate::id::ID`'s interface, whereas newtype wrappers can, for example. However, our code doesn't use that flexiblity on purpose anywhere and we're relatively unlikely to change that. In return, the individual ID types require substantially less code - they do not, for example, need to re-implement `Display` for themselves. I very nearly made the trait `Prefix`: ```rust pub trait Prefix { const PREFIX: &str; } ``` however, I think having an effectively-constant method is less surprising overall.

* Upgrade to Rust 1.85 and Rust 2024 edition.Owen Jacobson2025-02-20
| | | | | | | | There are a couple of migration suggestions from `cargo fix --edition` that I have deliberately skipped, which are intended to make sure that the changes to `if let` scoping don't bite us. They don't, I'm pretty sure, and if I turn out to be wrong, I'd rather fix the scoping issues (as they arise) than use `match` (`cargo fix --edition`'s suggestion). This change also includes a bulk reformat and a clippy cleanup. NOTA BENE: As this requires a new Rust toolchain, you'll need to update Rust (`rustup update`, normally) or the server won't build. This also applies to the Debian builder Docker image; it'll need to be rebuilt (from scratch, pulling its base image again) as well.

* Add `change password` UI + API.Owen Jacobson2024-10-29
| | | | The protocol here re-checks the caller's password, as a "I left myself logged in" anti-pranking check.
* Sort out the naming of the various parts of an identity.Owen Jacobson2024-10-22
| | | | | | | | | * A `cookie::Identity` (`IdentityCookie`) is a specialized CookieJar for working with identities. * An `Identity` is a token/login pair. I hope for this to be a bit more legible. In service of this, `Login` is no longer extractable. You have to get an identity.
* Canonicalize login and channel names.Owen Jacobson2024-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Canonicalization does two things: * It prevents duplicate names that differ only by case or only by normalization/encoding sequence; and * It makes certain name-based comparisons "case-insensitive" (generalizing via Unicode's case-folding rules). This change is complicated, as it means that every name now needs to be stored in two forms. Unfortunately, this is _very likely_ a breaking schema change. The migrations in this commit perform a best-effort attempt to canonicalize existing channel or login names, but it's likely any existing channels or logins with non-ASCII characters will not be canonicalize correctly. Since clients look at all channel names and all login names on boot, and since the code in this commit verifies canonicalization when reading from the database, this will effectively make the server un-usuable until any incorrectly-canonicalized values are either manually canonicalized, or removed It might be possible to do better with [the `icu` sqlite3 extension][icu], but (a) I'm not convinced of that and (b) this commit is already huge; adding database extension support would make it far larger. [icu]: https://sqlite.org/src/dir/ext/icu For some references on why it's worth storing usernames this way, see <https://www.b-list.org/weblog/2018/nov/26/case/> and the refernced talk, as well as <https://www.b-list.org/weblog/2018/feb/11/usernames/>. Bennett's treatment of this issue is, to my eye, much more readable than the referenced Unicode technical reports, and I'm inclined to trust his opinion given that he maintains a widely-used, internet-facing user registration library for Django.
* Unicode normalization on input.Owen Jacobson2024-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This normalizes the following values: * login names * passwords * channel names * message bodies, because why not The goal here is to have a canonical representation of these values, so that, for example, the service does not inadvertently host two channels whose names are semantically identical but differ in the specifics of how diacritics are encoded, or two users whose names are identical. Normalization is done on input from the wire, using Serde hooks, and when reading from the database. The `crate::nfc::String` type implements these normalizations (as well as normalizing whenever converted from a `std::string::String` generally). This change does not cover: * Trying to cope with passwords that were created as non-normalized strings, which are now non-verifiable as all the paths to verify passwords normalize the input. * Trying to ensure that non-normalized data in the database compares reasonably to normalized data. Fortunately, we don't _do_ very many string comparisons (I think only login names), so this isn't a huge deal at this stage. Login names will probably have to Get Fixed later on, when we figure out how to handle case folding for login name verification.
* Make the responses for various data creation requests more consistent.Owen Jacobson2024-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In general: * If the client can only assume the response is immediately valid (mostly, login creation, where the client cannot monitor the event stream), then 200 Okay, with data describing the server's view of the request. * If the client can monitor for completion by watching the event stream, then 202 Accepted, with data describing the server's view of the request. This comes on the heels of a comment I made on Discord: > hrm > > creating a login: 204 No Content, no body > sending a message: 202 Accepted, no body > creating a channel: 200 Okay, has a body > > past me, what were you on There wasn't any principled reason for this inconsistency; it happened as the endpoints were written at different times and with different states of mind.
* BREAKING: Remove redundant error conversions now that 1.82 is stable.Owen Jacobson2024-10-18
| | | | MSRV is now 1.82.
* Retain deleted messages and channels temporarily, to preserve events for replay.Owen Jacobson2024-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when a channel (message) was deleted, `hi` would send events to all _connected_ clients to inform them of the deletion, then delete all memory of the channel (message). Any disconnected client, on reconnecting, would not receive the deletion event, and would de-synch with the service. The creation events were also immediately retconned out of the event stream, as well. With this change, `hi` keeps a record of deleted channels (messages). When replaying events, these records are used to replay the deletion event. After 7 days, the retained data is deleted, both to keep storage under control and to conform to users' expectations that deleted means gone. To match users' likely intuitions about what deletion does, deleting a channel (message) _does_ immediately delete some of its associated data. Channels' names are blanked, and messages' bodies are also blanked. When the event stream is replayed, the original channel.created (message.sent) event is "tombstoned", with an additional `deleted_at` field to inform clients. The included client does not use this field, at least yet. The migration is, once again, screamingingly complicated due to sqlite's limited ALTER TABLE … ALTER COLUMN support. This change also contains capabilities that would allow the API to return 410 Gone for deleted channels or messages, instead of 404. I did experiment with this, but it's tricky to do pervasively, especially since most app-level interfaces return an `Option<Channel>` or `Option<Message>`. Redesigning these to return either `Ok(Channel)` (`Ok(Message)`) or `Err(Error::NotFound)` or `Err(Error::Deleted)` is more work than I wanted to take on for this change, and the utility of 410 Gone responses is not obvious to me. We have other, more pressing API design warts to address.

* Represent channels and messages using a split "History" and "Snapshot" model.Owen Jacobson2024-10-03
| | | | | | This separates the code that figures out what happened to an entity from the code that represents it to a user, and makes it easier to compute a snapshot at a point in time (for things like bootstrap). It also makes the internal logic a bit easier to follow, since it's easier to tell whether you're working with a point in time or with the whole recorded history. This hefty.
