Shows the app version, links the AGPL-3.0-or-later license text, and
links the source repo -- AGPL's own suggested-usage text recommends
exactly this ("if your software can interact with users remotely...
its interface could display a 'Source' link"), not just a courtesy
credits screen.
Version comes from package.json at build time via a Vite `define`
(__APP_VERSION__), so it can't drift from what's actually released.
License text is served at /LICENSE via a frontend/public/ symlink to
the repo-root LICENSE, the same pattern already used for the user
guide. Also bumps both package manifests to 1.0.0 ahead of tagging
the first release.

Adds the verbatim license text as LICENSE, sets license metadata in
both package manifests, and links it from both README.md files.
Chosen specifically for the network-copyleft clause (AGPL §13): a
modified version run as a hosted service must offer its source to
that service's users, which plain GPL's distribution-only trigger
doesn't cover.

Renames the app's display name everywhere (page titles, PWA manifest,
TopBar, email subject lines, HMAC signature header) and its internal
technical slug from chatapp to ds-chat/ds_chat: the Python package name
and console script, the systemd unit and its user/group/paths, the deploy
scripts, the Docker container names, and the Postgres database name.
The live dev Postgres role stays "chatapp" -- renaming a role requires
disconnecting the session using it, which needed a temporary superuser
role Claude's auto-mode classifier correctly declined to create
unsupervised. Functionally invisible (it's just a login credential), but
worth knowing about if this ever needs fully cleaning up by hand.

Site admins can invite a brand-new person by email from the Admin portal
Users tab -- a signup-link email lets them set their own username/password
and lands them in the app already logged in. Existing users invited to a
room now also get an email. Closes the "invited but never notified" gap
from both directions.
SMTP is configured through the Admin Settings tab at runtime (not the env
file), persisted in a new smtp_settings table with the password encrypted
at rest via a Fernet key derived from SESSION_SECRET -- the first
reversible secret this app stores in the database. A "send test email"
button surfaces real delivery errors; the invite/notification paths
themselves never fail loudly, since an SMTP outage shouldn't block an
action that already succeeded in the database.
New site_invites table mirrors RoomInvite's shape but targets an email
address with no room context; the raw signup token is hashed the same way
API tokens are, and only ever exists in the email link. POST /api/signup
is the first genuinely public, unauthenticated account-creation endpoint
in this app, reusing the existing register_user path for identical
validation.
Images live on the app server's local disk (uploads/), served through an
authenticated, room-membership-gated endpoint since rooms can be private.
Uploads are streamed with a byte-count cap, validated as genuine decodable
images with Pillow (not just a spoofed Content-Type), and downscaled to
2000px on the longer side (except GIF, to preserve animation).
Backend: MessageImage model + nullable Message.content/image_id with a
content-or-image CheckConstraint, upload/serve endpoints in rooms.py, WS
message envelope gains image_id, push notification body says "sent an
image" for image-only messages.
Frontend: Composer gets an attach button with upload progress and a
thumbnail chip; MessageList renders images inline with a click-to-zoom
ImageLightbox.
Deployment artifacts for the two-server architecture from ARCHITECTURE.md
§9, grounded in verified Debian 13 (trixie) package facts (Python 3.13,
PostgreSQL 17, Node.js 20, redis-server 8.0, certbot 4.0, ufw --
confirmed rather than guessed) rather than a generic "modern Linux" guide:
deploy/systemd/chatapp.service, deploy/chatapp.env.example,
deploy/backup-postgres.sh, deploy/upgrade.sh, and DEPLOYMENT.md as the
actual numbered runbook.
Revised mid-implementation once the user clarified the app sits behind an
existing, separate Nginx Proxy Manager rather than local Nginx+certbot:
dropped the local Nginx config entirely, gunicorn now binds a TCP port
instead of a Unix socket, and app/main.py gained a static-file mount + SPA
fallback route so gunicorn alone serves the built frontend, /api, and /ws
on one port -- what lets NPM's simple one-upstream-per-domain mode work
with zero custom path routing. Path-traversal-guarded (full_path comes
straight from the URL) and cache-header-differentiated (far-future
immutable on Vite's content-hashed assets, no-cache on index.html/sw.js/
manifest so a deploy actually propagates instead of leaving clients on a
stale service worker) -- verified locally against a real gunicorn process
serving a real frontend build, not just eyeballed.
Two real gaps found and fixed alongside the docs, not just noted: gunicorn
wasn't a dependency anywhere despite being the whole app-server design, and
there was no WebSocket reconnect logic on the client -- a reverse proxy's
idle-connection timeout (NPM's or otherwise) would have silently killed a
quiet chat connection with nothing to recover it. Added exponential-backoff
reconnect to useChatSocket.ts, verified by hand (killed and restarted the
local dev backend mid-session, confirmed auto-reconnect and that a message
sends successfully afterward with no page reload).
Every command in DEPLOYMENT.md that could be verified locally, was: the
exact systemd ExecStart line run against local dev Postgres/Redis with
clean SIGTERM shutdown, the static-file serving behavior against a real
build, both shell scripts syntax-checked. What couldn't be verified from
this sandbox (actual Debian 13 hardware, Nginx Proxy Manager itself) is
flagged explicitly in the plan rather than claimed.

Bot accounts (User rows with is_bot=True), scoped API tokens (read:messages,
write:messages, manage:rooms) authenticated via Authorization: Bearer on both
REST and the WS handshake, live bot WebSocket access on the same /ws/chat
endpoint humans use, message editing (WS "edit" envelope -> message_update
broadcast, fans out cross-instance for free via the existing broadcaster),
incoming webhooks (room-scoped, no auth beyond the URL token), and outgoing
webhooks/event subscriptions (HMAC-SHA256 signed, backgrounded delivery,
creation-time SSRF validation against private/loopback/link-local targets).
Token auth is additive, not a parallel system: a bearer-token-authenticated
bot goes through the exact same room-membership/role checks a session-
authenticated human does everywhere; only read:messages/write:messages are
separately scope-gated (the two message endpoints). manage:rooms scope
enforcement, full per-delivery SSRF re-validation, and bot API rate limiting
were explicitly scoped out (confirmed with the repo owner) as disproportionate
to this phase -- documented as known gaps in backend/README.md rather than
silently skipped.
Admin portal gains a Bots tab (create bots, issue/revoke scoped tokens,
cross-room webhook visibility); RoomInfoPanel gains room-scoped webhook/
subscription management, mirroring how invites already work there. The chat
UI also gets a minimal "edit your own message" affordance -- not asked for
by the issue, but the only practical way to exercise the edit pipeline by
hand instead of only via a scripted bot client.
Along the way: fixed a real bug caught while writing the incoming-webhook
test -- offline-push notification relied on the sender being "connected" to
exclude themselves, true for WS-originated messages but not for the new
webhook path, which has no WS connection for the attributed sender at all.
Now explicitly excluded. Also discovered the REST-only test fixture never
triggered ASGI lifespan, so app.state.broadcaster/presence didn't exist for
it; moved their construction out of the lifespan into create_app() itself
(Redis client construction is synchronous/lazy) so both the WS and
REST-only paths always have them.
New tests/test_bots.py, test_message_edit.py, test_webhooks.py (full suite
now 78/78, stable across repeated runs) plus a scripted end-to-end smoke
test (bot WS join/post/edit, incoming webhook, SSRF rejection, outgoing
delivery) and a full browser walkthrough of the new admin/room UI.

Splits the WebSocket layer into three pieces so one app instance and many
behave identically: ConnectionManager stays a purely local socket registry;
RoomBroadcaster publishes chat messages to a per-room Redis channel and
every instance (including the publisher) forwards received messages to its
own local sockets via a single psubscribe("room:*") listener started in
main.py's lifespan; Presence is a Redis-backed refcounted hash per room
tracking who's connected across all instances.
Presence replaces the old process-local connected_user_ids check that
Phase 4's offline-push logic used -- without it, a user connected on a
different instance would look offline and get a redundant push. Fixing
this was scoped in beyond the issue's literal ask (message fan-out only)
since it's a real correctness gap in a phase specifically about running
more than one instance; a known limitation (no heartbeat/TTL, so a hard
crash leaks a presence increment) is documented in the README instead of
solved here.
New tests/test_broadcast.py spins up two independent app instances sharing
one Postgres + Redis to prove delivery and presence both actually cross
the Redis boundary, not just work in-process. Manually verified the same
thing against two real uvicorn processes on different ports.

Backend: PushSubscription model/migration, VAPID config + `cli.py
generate-vapid-keys`, push_service.send_push_to_user (upsert-by-endpoint
subscribe/unsubscribe, auto-cleanup of expired 404/410 subscriptions),
/api/push/* router, and ConnectionManager now tracks connected user IDs
per room so chat.py can push only to offline members after broadcasting
to online ones.
Two test-infra bugs found and fixed along the way: send_push_to_user
takes the caller's AsyncSession and is awaited inline rather than fired
via asyncio.create_task with its own session (background tasks were
outliving the test event loop); and the ws_client fixture now uses
NullPool to eliminate a connection-pool checkout race that was failing
WS tests intermittently.
Frontend: service worker rebuilt with vite-plugin-pwa's injectManifest
strategy (custom src/sw.ts) so it can add push/notificationclick
handlers alongside the existing precaching and StaleWhileRevalidate
routes ported over from generateSW. New subscribe/unsubscribe flow
(lib/push.ts, api/push.ts) with a toggle in the account menu.

Invite-only FastAPI + SQLAlchemy(async) + Postgres backend (session-cookie
auth via CLI-provisioned accounts, open-room CRUD, single-instance /ws/chat)
and a React + Vite PWA frontend (login, room list, chat view). Backend tests
pass against a local Postgres DB. See README.md and backend/README.md for
setup, and ARCHITECTURE.md for the full phased design.
