ignacionelson d445b01dd4 Make starting a scan a button in the header, and drop the box it lived in
"New scan" sits beside Quarantine as the screen's one action, in the
primary colour, on every tab. The "Files already here" box it replaces
is gone: it held an action under a Save button, a counter that the
Activity tab now shows live, and a field that belongs with the other
settings, which is where it is now.

The button says why when it cannot be pressed — scanning is off, every
file has already been checked, or a scan is already running — rather
than sitting grey with no explanation. It refuses a second scan while
one is working through the queue, which is a thing somebody would
otherwise do by clicking twice.

Starting one lands on the Activity tab. A button whose screen looks
unchanged afterwards reads as a button that did nothing, and this one
has somewhere worth looking.

Checked against a real ClamAV: 42 files queued, 31 came back clean, the
rest were the ones whose bytes are missing. The button then disabled
itself, because there was nothing left to scan.

ignacionelson f937b4398d Tell a missing file apart from a missing scanner, and do something about it
A row whose bytes are gone was recorded as "the scanner could not be
reached". Wrong on screen, and wrong underneath: that is the one reason
the hourly sweep re-queues, so every orphaned row would have been
rescanned hourly forever.

It is its own state now, `missing`, and withheld rather than offered:
a client who sees a file listed and gets an error on the download is
worse off than one who never saw it. Staff still see it, marked, which
is the point — somebody has to decide what to do about it. The refusal
says what it is ("no longer on the server") instead of sending somebody
looking for a permission that would let them through.

A daily `projectsend:check-missing-files` finds them, whether or not
this installation scans for viruses: it is not a virus question, and an
installation with no scanner has exactly the same problem. It compares
one disk listing against the rows rather than asking "does this exist?"
per file, which on object storage would be a request per file per day.
Files that come back — a remount, a restored backup — are picked up on
the next run and re-checked rather than left for dead.

They are listed beside the orphans, which is the same fault seen from
the other end: bytes with no row, rows with no bytes. The tab carries
the count, each row says where the file should be, and removing one
takes the record with it through the deletion that already exists.

The dashboard says how many there are, and so does
`projectsend:status`, because a fleet-wide jump in this is a storage
fault nothing else in that document would show.

ignacionelson dc0937fda1 Add an Activity tab that shows a scan as it happens
A backfill runs for minutes or hours inside a queue worker, where none
of it is visible. The third tab polls every four seconds and says what
is happening: whether anything is running, how many uploads are held,
how deep the queue is, how many files were checked in the last hour,
and the last twenty verdicts with what each one was. When nothing is
running, that same list is the record of the last run, which is what
somebody opening the tab after the fact came for.

Two things the live screen found that the tests had not:

**A backfill read as "nothing is being scanned."** Re-scanning a file
that already went out unchecked deliberately leaves it available, so it
is never "pending" — and the screen counted only pending files. It
counts the scans queue too, and the two are shown separately, because
"an upload nobody can download yet" and "work the scanner has not
reached" are different facts.

**A file whose bytes are missing was recorded as "the scanner could not
be reached."** Wrong on screen, and worse than wrong in behaviour: that
is the one reason the hourly sweep re-queues, so every orphaned row
would have been rescanned every hour forever. It has its own reason
now, and goes through the same policy as a file the scanner could not
open.

Both tabs also gained the header shortcut to Quarantine, and Quarantine
one back to the settings, each shown only to somebody the destination
will actually let in.

ignacionelson c2039d9608 Find the files a real upgrade leaves behind
"Scan existing files" sat disabled on an installation with a library of
144 of them, and the hourly backfill would have found none either. Both
looked for `scan_note = 'before_scanning'`, and no file on any upgraded
installation carries it: the migration gives `scan_status` its default
and writes no note, and the v1 import inserts rows the same way. The
feature was inert on exactly the libraries it exists for.

A file with no reason beside its "not scanned" is now what it plainly
is — one nothing has ever looked at — through File::neverScanned(),
which the backfill, the counts and the badge all ask. Reported as
"Uploaded before virus scanning was switched on" rather than as a bare
"Not scanned", which is the one badge somebody would have had to come
and ask about.

Found on the real screen, not by a test. The tests now cover the shape
an upgrade actually produces.

ignacionelson da79969435 Put virus scanning on the System card as a line, not only as a warning
"Uploads checked by: ClamAV 1.5.4" now sits beside "Downloads sent by"
and "Files stored on", and is always there. Same reasoning those two
already carry: being able to confirm at a glance that uploads are
checked is worth as much as being told when they are not.

Four states in one row. A working scanner is named. One that is not
answering says so. One letting files through is amber. No scanner at
all reads "Nothing", amber, and links to the screen that sets it up —
which is where the "turn it on" link now lives, so the big alert above
is left to the cases where a configured scanner is misbehaving. Absent
entirely where the scanner is not this installation's to connect.

Also fixes a line the dashboard itself exposed: the activity log read
'The file "" was quarantined'. The scan job has no actor and attaches no
subject, so those two templates have to take the name from their
context, not from :subject. There is a test now, which there was not
before, because a real screen caught it and a green suite did not.

ignacionelson 85b1650ef0 Tell a self-hosted installation when nothing is checking its uploads
The dashboard's System card now says so when no scanner is configured
at all, not only when a configured one is failing: "Anything uploaded
here — by staff, by clients, or through an upload link — is passed on
unchecked", with a link to set it up.

Said only where somebody can act on it. Connecting a scanner is a new
capability, scanning.connect, community only — on a hosted installation
the scanner is infrastructure the platform runs, so its address is not a
tenant's to set and its absence is not a tenant's to fix. The two
policies stay on both editions, because what to do with a file nobody
could scan is a decision about somebody's own files. An edition
difference through the registry, never an edition check.

Also: PROJECTSEND_SCANNER_DEFAULT_ADDRESS, seeded into the settings on
first boot by the command that already does this for two-factor
enforcement. It is the opposite of PROJECTSEND_SCANNER_ADDRESS — a
starting value rather than a policy, so a Docker install that brings up
the optional scanner container arrives configured while the address and
the switch stay on the settings screen. Both are seeded together or
neither: an address with scanning off would look configured and check
nothing.

Nothing changes for an existing installation on upgrade: scanning stays
off, existing files are marked "never scanned", and the scanner
container is still opt-in.

ignacionelson f2a7bbb182 Split the virus scanning screen in two, and make the Test button answer
The Test button did nothing visible. The page read `scanner_test_result`
off the shared props, and HandleInertiaRequests shares `success` and
`error` and nothing else — so the answer was set on the session and
never arrived. It is read in the controller and handed over as a prop
now, the way the CAPTCHA screen does it.

The screen is two tabs, Scanner and Options, following the scheduler's
`?tab=` links. Scanner holds the connection and the Test button; Options
holds the policies and the backfill. Both end with their Save, and
nothing sits below it — before this, "Files already here" and its button
were stranded under the Save button of a form they had nothing to do
with.

Verified by clicking the real button in a browser against a real ClamAV:
"Working. ClamAV 1.5.4 detected the test file as Eicar-Test-Signature."

ignacionelson 73d5a5f8e4 Record which engine and definitions reached each verdict
`scan_engine` was always null: the column existed, the client never
filled it. Found by running a real ClamAV against a real upload rather
than by a test, since the fake scanner reports whatever it is told.

Asked once per scanner instance — so once per queue job, and the worker
is recycled hourly — rather than on every scan, which would double the
connections to answer a question that changes daily.

ignacionelson 5493955bea Show staff where a file stands, and say the same through the API
Staff keep seeing every file they always saw — withholding is about
recipients, not about the library — so the library now carries the state
on the row: Checking, Quarantined, Released, or Not scanned with the
reason behind it. Nothing at all for a clean file, which is the common
case.

The API says the same in a `scan` object on every file, with an
`available` flag so a caller need not learn which of six states mean
"you can have it", and `scan_status` is a filter, so an integration can
wait for the file it just uploaded or collect what is in quarantine.
The download endpoint answers 423 for a file that is not available,
which it already did through the shared controller.

Re-exported the OpenAPI document.

ignacionelson 0ae3f3d0f0 Hold the "shared with you" email until the file can actually be had
Sharing a file that is still being checked writes the assignment and
says nothing. The announcement goes out when the file becomes
available — a clean scan, a file let through while the scanner was
down, or an administrator releasing it from quarantine — so nobody is
ever sent to a page that refuses them, and a file about to be
quarantined is not announced to everyone before anybody knows.

Recipients are derived from the assignments as they stand at that
moment, not remembered from the moment of sharing: a share taken back
in the meantime produces no email, and one added does. New-version
notices ride the same path, which they had to anyway — the audience
rule re-checks visibility, and a file being scanned is not visible.

Two bugs found while writing the tests, both in the hourly command:

Re-queuing a file marked it pending first. Pending means withheld, so
running --existing over a library that predates scanning would have
hidden every file in it from every client for as long as the backfill
ran, and then announced each one to its recipients a second time when
it came back. The job now knows which state it expects instead, and a
rescan leaves the file downloadable until a verdict actually arrives.

ignacionelson d11bda094b Say out loud when scanning has quietly stopped protecting anything
The defaults let files through when the scanner cannot answer, so an
installation whose scanner died looks, from every screen anybody uses,
exactly like one that is working. Three places now say otherwise.

`projectsend:status` gains a `scanning` block: whether it is on, whether
it is managed, whether the scanner answers right now, the engine and
how old its definitions are, what is waiting, what is quarantined, and
how many files went out unscanned in the last 24 hours. Absent, null and
zero stay distinct — `reachable: null` means there is nothing to reach,
`false` means it should be answering and is not. The scans queue is
reported beside the other two.

The dashboard's System card carries the same warning for whoever is
actually looking at a screen, and says nothing at all while scanning is
healthy or switched off.

Docker gets the scanner as an opt-in profile — `--profile scanner` — in
both the development compose file and the published example, with a
clamd.conf whose Alert* options are what make an encrypted archive come
back as "could not scan" instead of "OK". No published ports: clamd has
no authentication and the file crosses that socket in the clear. Both
images also run a worker for the scans queue.

The dashboard test caught a 500 before it shipped: a nullable return
written as `array`.

ignacionelson b6b777e42f Add the virus scanning settings screen, with a button that proves it works
Settings → Virus scanning: switch it on, point it at a ClamAV daemon,
choose the two policies, and see how many files are waiting, in
quarantine, or were let through unscanned. Switching it on with no
address is refused rather than saved and left inert.

The Test button is three answers, not one. Unreachable is obvious.
Reachable but detecting nothing is the failure that looks like success
— empty or broken virus definitions — so the test sends the EICAR
string and reports "it found the test file", never "it did not
complain". The string is assembled at runtime so no checkout contains
it: antivirus software on a developer's machine quarantines files that
do.

"Scan existing files" queues the library that predates scanning,
through the hourly command so no request is held open, paced by a
setting so it does not starve today's uploads.

Where the environment names a scanner, the connection and the on/off
switch leave the screen and scanning cannot be turned off — the same
managed shape the CAPTCHA screen has. The two policies stay editable,
because what to do with a file nobody could scan is a decision about
somebody's own files.

ignacionelson e9496dc357 Give quarantined files a screen, an owner, and somebody to tell
An infected file now goes somewhere rather than nowhere. Staff holding
the new release_quarantined_files permission get a Quarantine screen
listing what was refused, who uploaded it, and what the scanner called
it. They can delete it as they always could, or release it — which
needs a written reason, a password confirmation on top of the
permission, and lands in the activity log under their name.

Only the administrator role holds that permission by default. Deciding
a threat report is wrong is a different judgement from deciding a file
is no longer needed, which is why it is not delete_files.

Two notifications, two audiences: staff who can act on it, and the
person who uploaded it — for whom this is how they learn their own
machine has something on it. The people the file was shared with are
deliberately not told about a file they never received.

`projectsend:scan-files` runs hourly: it re-queues files still waiting,
and re-scans the ones that went out unscanned while the scanner was
unreachable, since it may be back. With --existing it also works
through a library uploaded before scanning was switched on, paced by a
setting so it does not starve today's uploads.

A file that was downloadable before it was caught says so on the
screen, with its download count, because that is the case where
somebody may already have a copy.

ignacionelson bab90c0ad8 Scan uploaded files for viruses, and withhold them until they are checked
Every upload now starts as "being checked" and is not served to anyone
until a scanner has looked at it. Infected files are quarantined: kept
on disk, unreachable, waiting for an administrator.

The scanner is ClamAV, reached over a socket, streaming the file
wherever it is stored — no temporary copy for an S3 or GCS disk. What
the scanner answers is a fact; what it means for the file is this
installation's setting, so ClamAvScanner knows nothing about settings
and ScanPolicy knows nothing about sockets. Three of clamd's own alert
options are what make a file it could not open come back as an answer
rather than as "OK"; the client maps those to "too large" and
"encrypted" instead of to a threat.

Both policies default to letting files through, marked "not scanned",
which is the product owner's decision: a scanner that cannot answer must
not stop people working. Every such file is logged, and the screens that
say so come with the rest of this work.

Withholding is two rules. A file that is not available drops out of the
scopes that answer "what may this person see" — recipients and the
public listings, never the uploader's own copy. And every route that
puts bytes on the wire asks FileAvailability first: download, thumbnail,
preview, share link, the four public routes and both ends of a zip
build. A share link minted before the scan finishes says the file is
still being checked rather than 404ing.

Not yet here, and coming next: the quarantine screen and its permission,
the notifications, the settings screen, the hourly retry, the backfill
for existing libraries, and the Docker service.

ignacionelson 3917cb2af3 Stop a file expiry date sent as a number from 500ing
Laravel's `date` rule accepts a JSON number when it reads as a real day
(20301231 passes) and hands it on unconverted. Every file expiry field
then passes it to a method that only takes a string, so the request
failed with a 500 instead of a validation error.

Affected: PATCH /api/v1/files/{file}, the staff file editor, the bulk
editor, new share links and the client file editor. Each now also
requires `string`, so a number is a 422 on `expires_at`. Dates sent as
text behave exactly as before. A form never sent a number, so this was
only reachable with a hand-written JSON body.
2026-09-13 15:34:05 -03:00
ignacionelson 7c7ba7cd53 Stop a typed-in storage quota from 500ing when a client is created
Filling the "Storage quota (MB)" field on the new-client form raised a
TypeError and the request died with a 500. Leaving it blank worked, which
is why it reached a release: that path goes through `null ?? 0`, and the
0 is an int.

The `integer` validation rule checks that a value looks like an integer.
It does not convert it. `$request->validate()` returns the raw input, so
the form field arrives as the string "2048" -- and the create form types
that field as a string in React, so it is a string even over JSON. Both
controllers declare strict_types, so handing it to
`ClientAccounts::create()`'s `int $storageQuotaMb` is a TypeError.

Fixed on both surfaces that call create(): the staff screen and
/api/v1/clients. The API twin had the same defect, reachable by sending
the quota as a quoted JSON value or a form-encoded body -- its own create
test only ever sent a JSON number.

Two more call sites had the same shape and are cast too, though nothing
sends them a string today: the share-link download cap and a comment's
reply_to. Both are safe only because a frontend file happens to call
Number() first, which is a fact about that file rather than anything the
signature guarantees. The null in each is preserved rather than collapsed
to 0 -- "no cap" is not a cap of zero.

`storage_quota_mb` is also cast on User and Invitation. The column is an
unsignedInteger and both docblocks already promise int; it is read
straight into provision()'s typed parameter when an invitation is
redeemed, and which type a driver hands back is not something that call
site should depend on.

Found on the new files-test rehearsal instance, on its first real use,
against the same build the whole fleet is running.

ignacionelson f06a3c7ab3 Put a new client account in front of the staff who administer clients
Invitations produced no in-app notification at all, and neither did
self-registration: the whole Clients module raised none. The only
admin-facing signal when an account appeared was an email to whatever raw
addresses an operator typed into a setting -- addresses that need not
correspond to any account in this installation, and that plenty of
installations never fill in. An invitation could be accepted and nobody
signed in would ever be told.

So: one new type, client_registered, reaching the bell and /notifications.
One type for both doors on purpose. A client arriving through the public
form and one arriving through an invitation are the same event to the
person being told -- an account now exists that did not -- and a second
type would buy nothing, because preferences here govern email only, so it
could not have been switched off separately anyway. Which door it came
through is one click away in the activity log and on the invitations
screen.

In-app only, the reasoning client_uploaded already states: email for this
event is sent separately to that address list, and routing it through
Notifier's mail dispatch too would risk double-emailing any staff member
who is also on it.

Two things worth stating about who gets it. Recipients are resolved at the
call site, because Notifier authorizes nothing by design -- its security
contract is explicit that a broad query must never be handed to it. And a
client-scoped staff member is deliberately not told: their whole view is
the clients assigned to them, and a brand-new account is assigned to
nobody, so it would link them to a screen they are refused.

Which is also why the notification links to the clients list filtered to
the address, and not to clients.edit: that route is gated by edit_clients
while these recipients are chosen by manage_clients. A notification that
refuses the person it was sent to is worse than one that lands a click
short.

Translated in all sixteen locales, and the redemption was driven through a
real browser to see the row arrive.

ignacionelson 123ae68972 Give invitations their own place in the navigation
The "Invite client" button led to a history, which is not what it says. The
tabs were a way of housing two things that had nowhere else to live, and
now they do: Invitations is a sidebar entry between Custom fields and
Groups, and the button goes to the form.

That is also the shape every other list in this application already has --
Clients, Groups, Categories, Roles all sit in the sidebar with a "New X"
button leading to their own create screen -- so the tabs were the odd one
out rather than the pattern. Two URLs, each meaning one thing:
/clients/invitations is the history, /clients/invitations/create is the
form. Sending now returns to the history, where the invitation just sent
is the first row.

No badge on the sidebar entry, deliberately, unlike the two queues below
it. Account requests and Membership requests count things waiting on
somebody here; an outstanding invitation is waiting on the person who was
invited. A number there would say "you have three things to do" about
three things nobody in this installation can act on.

Translations move with it: "History (:count pending)" was the tab label and
is gone from all sixteen, and "Invite a client to share files with" comes
back -- it was the form's description before the tabs took the heading, and
had never been translated because it left the code in the same commit that
would have reported it missing.

ignacionelson fb3fd1766c Turn the second tab into a history of every invitation, and open on it
The tab listed only what was still live, which cannot answer the question
somebody actually arrives with: did we ever invite this person, and what
happened? An invitation that was accepted, revoked or replaced by a newer
one simply vanished from the screen, and the activity log was the only
place left to look.

So the tab is a history now -- every invitation ever sent, newest first,
each carrying the state it ended in -- with a status filter for reading one
slice of it. And it opens first, because arriving here the question is
usually about what has already been sent, including to the person you were
about to invite again. ?tab=send still goes straight to the form.

Five states, and two of them needed deciding:

- "Expired" is not a stored status and deliberately is not one: nothing
  writes it, a row becomes expired by the clock passing rather than by
  anybody acting, and storing it would need a scheduled task to stay true.
  Invitation::state() derives it, once, and both the badge and the filter
  read that -- two copies of the rule is how they start disagreeing about a
  row whose expiry passed a second ago.
- "Replaced" is what superseded says to somebody who is not reading the
  source. It is a different fact from expired, and worth telling apart: one
  ran out, the other was retired by a newer invitation to the same address.

The count in the tab label stays a count of live invitations rather than of
the rows below. The history is mostly settled, and the number worth
carrying in a label is the one that says whether anybody is still waiting --
which is also why it is counted over the table rather than the filtered
page, so narrowing the list cannot change it.

Revoke appears only on a row that still has something to revoke, and the
expiry column is blank on a settled one: the date is still stored and still
true, and printing it invites somebody to wonder what expires about an
invitation that was accepted.

The screen is called Invitations now, in the heading and the breadcrumb.
With the history first it is no longer a form with a list under it.

ignacionelson 38187dcf1a Stop an expired invitation being renewed for ever
The expired page offers a "send me a new one" button that re-issues the
invitation with no staff member involved. On its own that is reasonable --
the new link goes to the address on the invitation, never to whoever
clicked, so holding a leaked URL gets nobody a working one, and it is the
same shape as a password reset.

What it spent was the operator's expiry window. A link could be renewed
from a dead link, indefinitely, so a window set to 72 hours was only ever
as short as the longest anybody bothered to wait. That matters in the case
expiry is actually for: a link sitting somewhere it should not be -- a
forwarded thread, a shared inbox, a mailbox that changed hands.

So the chain gets a limit: three renewals, then a staff member has to send
a new invitation. The count is carried forward on each renewal rather than
stored per row, which is what makes it apply to the chain; a staff-sent
invitation starts at zero, because sending one is somebody deciding to.

A renewal beyond the limit answers in exactly the same words as a spent,
unknown or revoked token, and sends nothing. Four situations, one sentence:
telling them apart is how this door would become a way to learn which
addresses an installation has invited.

Renewals are now logged, which they were not -- sending and redeeming
already were, and renewing was the one step that moved an invitation along
with nobody behind it and left no trace. The limit bounds how many rows an
anonymous door can write.

ignacionelson a502a26075 Let staff cancel an invitation nobody has used
An invitation could be sent and never taken back. There was no list of
outstanding ones and no revoke, so the only way to withdraw a link sent to
the wrong address was to let it expire -- and the expired page's own "send
me a new one" button undoes exactly that, silently, for anybody still
holding the link. The one cancel the feature had could be reversed by the
person it was aimed at.

So: a new STATUS_REVOKED, outside the pending() scope that both the
redemption and the resend doors look through. A revoked link is dead to all
three things a live one can do -- opening the form, redeeming it, and
asking for a replacement -- and nothing but sending a fresh invitation
brings it back.

The list sits under the invite form rather than on a screen of its own,
because the person who wants to cancel an invitation is the person who just
sent one. It shows outstanding invitations only: pending, expired ones
included. An expired invitation is not inert until it is revoked, so hiding
it would hide the rows most worth a decision -- which is why they sort to
the top, soonest expiry first.

Revoking is gated by create_clients, the same authority as sending:
whoever may invite somebody may take it back. It is logged, like sending
and redeeming already were. The row is kept rather than deleted, for the
reason a superseded one is kept -- the activity log names who invited this
address and when, and that trail should still lead somewhere.

Verified in a browser, not only in tests: the screen mounts, both rows
render, and the expired one carries its badge.

ignacionelson 74d1de2d6e Say why an invitation was refused when the installation is full
Two halves of the same gap. Redemption always provisions with
autoApprove: true, so it always meets SeatAllowance::guardClient(), which
refuses on the `email` field -- and the redemption form's email input is
read-only, never submitted, and had nowhere to render an error. The account
was correctly not created and the person was told nothing at all: the form
simply came back. The field now renders errors.email, which is where every
other account form's refusal already lands.

The other half is the button. "New client" has been seat-limited since the
limit existed -- it goes dead with the reason beside it, rather than
offering a form that cannot be submitted. "Invite client" sat next to it,
live, on a full installation. Worse than the original complaint, because
the refusal is met by the invited person rather than by the staff member
who caused it.

So the invite button is seat-limited too, and sending guards as well as
redeeming. An outstanding invitation is still not a client and is still not
counted as one -- the rule a pending account request follows, for the
reason SeatAllowance spells out -- so this reserves nothing. It refuses to
send a link a full installation could not honour, and redemption keeps its
own guard, because the seat can be taken by somebody else in the days
between.

SeatLimitedAction's usage caption is now optional, and the invite button
omits it. Two buttons governed by one limit, each captioned with the same
sentence, reads as two limits.

ignacionelson cd2ce960d3 Refuse an invitation whose address was taken while the link was live
An invitation stays live for days -- 72 hours by default -- and the address
it names can be claimed in that window: staff got impatient and created the
account by hand, or the person used the public registration form instead.
Redemption never asked, so User::create() met the unique index on
users.email and raised a QueryException. A 500, on the screen of somebody
who had just chosen a password, having done nothing wrong.

ClientProvisioning::addressIsFree() exists for exactly this, and its
docblock says who must call it: the paths with no form to validate. LDAP
asks. Redemption is the third such path and did not.

It now refuses with a message that says what happened, rather than the
generic "this invitation is no longer valid" the expired case uses. There
is nothing to withhold here -- whoever holds the link already knows the
address, because it is the one the invitation was sent to -- and being told
to sign in instead is the only useful thing to say.

The invitation stays pending rather than being retired. It is the account
that resolved the situation, not the link, and a retired row would only
make the second attempt read as expired.

The address rule spans soft-deleted accounts, the same as it does
everywhere else, so a deleted account still holds its address until erasure
takes the row away. Both cases are tested.

mash2k3 856c13b09c Invite a client to register instead of handing them a password (#1780)
Staff can now invite a specific address to register instead of typing a
password for somebody and finding a way to get it to them. The invited
person sets their own, the link is locked to the address it was sent to,
and an invitation always activates the account regardless of the
auto-approve setting -- naming an address is already the decision the
approval queue exists to make for one nobody named.

Two fixes ride along: outgoing mail now reads the installation's own site
name in its title, header and signature rather than the one baked into
config('app.name') at install time, and the CSRF cookie name is read per
request rather than captured once at load.

Follow-up work, tracked separately: an invitation cannot be cancelled --
there is no pending-invitations screen and no revoke, so letting one expire
is the only way to take it back, which the self-service resend button then
undoes. Redemption also needs the address-availability check every other
non-form caller of ClientProvisioning makes.

Thanks @mash2k3.

ignacionelson 8372f42525 Ask the picker's own question of what comes back from it
Reported by @skeletonsec as GHSA-w29w-pj29-x7ww.

Deleting an account that owns files makes the admin choose who inherits
them. The picker narrows that list for a client-scoped staff member to their
own roster, and says why two methods up: "a client-scoped staff member is
not shown the name of somebody they can reach nothing of, and a picker is no
more a reason to hand one over than a listing is."

The write asked something else entirely — exists, active, and not the
account being deleted. All three are true of every account on the
installation. So a scoped staffer could name an id the picker had
deliberately kept off the list, and a roster client's files and folders
landed with a client on somebody else's roster: readable, editable and
deletable there, because a client owns what they uploaded and
visibleToClient() includes uploaded_by.

The entry doors scope the source account and always did — guardTarget goes
through canAssignClient. It is the destination nobody scoped.

candidates() and validate() now run one predicate, reachableTargets(),
rather than two that happened to agree. Two that agree by inspection is what
this was: the narrowing existed, was correct, and was only ever applied to
the list.

The refusal deliberately reads as "no such account". An out-of-roster id and
an id belonging to nobody now produce the same message, because a refusal
that distinguishes them lets a scoped staffer walk the id space and learn
which accounts exist outside their roster. That is why Rule::exists is gone
rather than kept alongside: one code path, one answer. A test pins the two
messages as identical instead of naming either.

Both the web screen and the API twin come through this one validate(), so
both are fixed by it — and the test file proves each separately rather than
assuming the sharing holds.

ignacionelson 50f8b578df Ask the publication question wherever content lands, not just on upload
Reported by @skeletonsec as GHSA-rxf8-wh8v-jm9j.

A file in a public folder is public: isEffectivelyPublic() is "my own flag,
or my folder's", read up the whole ancestry. GHSA-237r-jx85-j3hr settled
that three days ago, put the rule in Folder::uploadableBy(), and wired it
into the upload paths.

Content arrives in a folder four other ways. move() drags one file in,
bulkUpdate() moves a selection, update() reparents through the edit form,
and FoldersController::move() drags a whole folder — every file in its
subtree — under a public parent. Each of them asked whether the destination
was *visible* to the mover and then wrote folder_id. Visible is not the same
question as publishable, and the difference is the entire permission: a
staff member given editing rights and deliberately not given upload_public
could publish confidential files to the anonymous site by choosing where
they landed. The API twin of update() had the same gap.

Both earlier advisories named these paths in their own "suggested fix"
sections. Neither demonstrated them, so neither was followed. The fix to a
report wants the scrutiny the report got, and this one did not get it.

The predicate did not need changing — it needed calling. Four sinks now ask
it, plus the API twin. The check stays split in two deliberately: the
destination is resolved through StaffLibraryScope as before, so a folder
somebody cannot see is still a 404 and not an existence oracle, and the
publication clause is a separate 403 on top. They agree by construction —
allowsFolder() is folders()->whereKey()->exists() — so nothing that used to
resolve can now fail the first half.

On the file paths the check fires only when folder_id actually changes,
which is the convention already there: re-saving a file that sits in a
folder out of the saver's scope must keep working. bulkUpdate() checks its
destination once instead, before the loop, because there is one destination
for the batch and if it publishes then no file in the batch may go.

Folder::uploadableBy()'s docblock now says to read the name as "may place
into", with why: the name is what made this easy to miss, and the next
folder_id or parent_id write will be written by somebody reading it.

Ten tests, one per sink with a private-destination control beside it, plus
an editor who *can* publish to show the boundary is about publishing and not
about moving. The last one follows the advisory's own chain to the end and
asserts the thing actually claimed — a stranger with no session, no token
and no assignment fetching the anonymous download URL. It returns 200 on the
code before this commit and 404 after.

ignacionelson 6ad26bb61e Hold an upload to the size it said it was sending
Reported by @ry2811 as GHSA-6jh6-gvj5-pv8v.

A resumable upload declares its size, and that declaration is what store()
weighs against the maximum file size and the client's storage quota. Only
the assembled file was ever held to it. The parts in between were bounded
one request at a time and never added up, so a client could declare one
byte and then stream parts: ten thousand part numbers at twice a 20 MB
part is about 400 GB, per session, and the number of sessions was not
bounded either. None of it counted against anything, because nothing
becomes a File row until the upload completes and ClientStorageUsage sums
File rows. A client with a 1 MB quota could fill the volume and repeat.

putPart()'s own comment described this defect and treated the per-part cap
as the answer to it: "without a cap here the exposure is a day's worth of
disk". A cap on one request bounds one request. The exposure was a day's
worth of disk multiplied by however many requests somebody cared to make.

Three limits, and each one exists because the other two do not cover it.

A session may not stage more than it declared. The room for a part is
claimed before the body is read — a body's length is not known until it
has arrived, and by then it is on the disk being protected — and the write
is then capped at exactly what was claimed, so an over-long body is cut
off mid-stream as it always was, against a smaller number. The claim is a
read and a conditional update under a per-session lock, the same shape
complete() already uses: the protocol sends parts in parallel and how many
is the client's choice, so an unlocked read lets every part in flight
claim the same room, while an atomic claim alone refuses the honest
parallel upload instead. Whatever the part really weighs is settled back
afterwards, in a finally, or a client's own retries would exhaust a
session with room to spare.

Open sessions count against the quota at the size they declared. A quota
measured against finished files alone is spent twice by opening sessions
one after another — each is told there is room, because the ones before it
have not finished. The cost is that an abandoned transfer holds its share
until it is cancelled or swept, so the sweeper now runs hourly rather than
daily: that gap is now somebody unable to upload, which it was not before.

And a cap on open sessions, because for anyone with no quota to spend —
staff, and clients on an installation that sets none — the session count
is the only thing between a declared size and any multiple of it.

Four tests fail on the unfixed code, and three existing ones had to change:
they declared a tiny size and sent a large part deliberately, to reach the
re-checks at complete(). That route is now closed at putPart(), so they
reach those re-checks the way a real install would instead — the file-size
limit or the quota moving while a long transfer is running, which is the
reason complete() re-asks rather than trusting what store() decided.

The staged-byte total is BIGINT UNSIGNED, and the suite runs SQLite, which
has no unsigned integers. The first version of the bounds read
`staged_bytes + :delta BETWEEN 0 AND size` and raised SQLSTATE 22003 on
MySQL for any refund — in the comparison, so the bound written to prevent
the underflow was the statement that underflowed. Every SQLite test passed
on it. Both bounds are now arranged so the column is never inside a
subtraction, and UploadSessionStagedBytesMysqlTest skips loudly unless the
connection is MySQL. Verified against 8.4, as was the report itself: three
sessions declaring one byte each put 6 MB on the volume of a client with a
1 MB quota before, and nothing at all after.

ignacionelson 83a8fe2288 Claim the installation instead of checking whether it is free
Reported by @ry2811 as GHSA-w3w9-prpw-qx77, with a working two-worker
reproducer.

Setup asked the database whether any staff user existed, and created one
some time later, in a separate statement with nothing joining the two. So
two POSTs arriving together both read "no staff" and both inserted a System
Administrator. Different addresses do not collide; `users.email` is the only
unique key and it has nothing to say about there being one first
administrator.

The gap is not narrow. Between the check and the insert sits password
hashing at BCRYPT_ROUNDS=12, which is slow on purpose, so the window is
hundreds of milliseconds wide and observable without trying.

What makes this worth fixing is not that a stranger can set up an
unconfigured installation — first-run setup is open to whoever reaches it
first, and always was. It is that racing the operator is *quiet*. The
operator's own request also succeeds, also redirects to /setup/success, and
the installation they get looks exactly like the one they expected. The
second administrator is discovered later or not at all, and closing setup
afterwards does not revoke it.

FirstAdministrator::claim() makes it one operation. The row it locks is the
System Administrator role, because the obvious candidate cannot work: there
are no staff rows on a fresh install and a lock over an empty result
serialises nothing. That role row is written by the roles migration and
rewritten on every boot, so it is always there to be locked. The second
caller waits on it, and by the time it has the lock the first caller's user
is committed and visible to the re-check it then makes.

Everything the request writes moved inside the claim, including the site
name. A request that loses now writes nothing at all, rather than renaming
the installation on its way to the login screen.

`projectsend:admin --if-none` had the same shape and is fixed the same way
— two containers coming up against one database is the version of this that
needs no attacker. The early check stays where it is so an unattended boot
does not prompt for a password it is about to discard; it is simply asked
again under the lock.

Both tests fail on the unfixed code. They stage the interleaving rather than
attempting real concurrency, creating the winning administrator from a query
listener after the request has made its first check — which is exactly the
window, and the re-check is the only thing that closes it. The lock itself
is invisible to them: the suite runs SQLite, where lockForUpdate() compiles
to nothing. That half was verified against MySQL 8.4 by running the
reporter's race for real, two processes through the full HTTP kernel: two
administrators before, one after, repeatably.

ignacionelson 62c763d04e Put a floor under a client quota nobody set
Setting::DefaultClientStorageQuotaMb defaults to 0, and 0 means
unlimited. That is the right default for somebody setting up their own
installation and the wrong one for an installation a platform operates
on other people's behalf: an account that arrived without an explicit
quota has no ceiling at all, and it does not have to be an account the
platform created.

So a platform may set a floor in the environment
(PROJECTSEND_PLATFORM_DEFAULT_CLIENT_QUOTA_MB), exactly as it sets the
seat caps, and for the same reason those are not settings: it is the
shape of what was sold rather than a preference the installation's
administrator is expressing. It applies only where the setting says
nothing, so an administrator who chose a number keeps it, and an install
with no platform behind it is unaffected.

ClientStorageUsage::defaultQuotaMb() is where the three sources resolve,
and every screen that presents the answer now reads it there:

  - The client create and edit screens. The edit screen mirrors that
    resolution client-side to draw the usage bar, so handed the raw
    setting on a floored installation it computed an effective quota of
    zero, printed "unlimited" and hid the bar entirely -- for a client
    whose next upload was about to be rejected for exceeding a limit the
    screen said did not exist.

  - projectsend:status, which gains clients_can_register and
    default_client_storage_quota_mb. Both defaults are the permissive
    ones, both are invisible from outside, and a document reporting the
    setting while uploads obeyed the floor would say the ceiling was
    missing on an installation that has one.

The Client settings form deliberately still reads the raw setting: that
field is read and written back on save, so prefilling it with the floor
would write the platform's number into the setting as the
administrator's own choice, where it would outlive the floor.

ignacionelson 0671848bfa Read settings written before the columns they name existed
Reported by @apps3000 in #1770. Upgrading a container from 2.0 or 2.1
with external storage configured restart-loops, and says the database is
unreachable while the database is fine.

A row hydrated from the database does not get the model's column
defaults — only a new model does. So a row written before
external_storage_settings.provider existed reads that column as null,
and the enum match in isConfigured() throws UnhandledMatchError.

That would be a small bug anywhere else. It is not here, because
PlatformServiceProvider::boot() reads these settings on every process
boot, and boot happens before `artisan migrate` runs. During an upgrade
the code is new and the schema is still old, so every artisan command in
that window dies — including `projectsend:update`, the one that would
have added the column. Reordering the entrypoint or using a lighter
readiness probe does not help for that reason; the crash is in the
bootstrap, not in the probe.

current() now applies the model's declared defaults to any column the
hydrated row does not have. That closes the window for every column with
a default rather than for the one where it was found, and goes inert the
moment the schema is current. The match in isConfigured() is left total
on purpose: a default arm would swallow a real unhandled case, and the
invariant it needs now holds at the one place the row is read.

The probe's message is the other half. It boots the whole application,
so it fails both when the database is absent and when the application
cannot start, and it reported the second as the first — sending an
operator off checking credentials that were never wrong. It now prints
the error it actually hit and says which of the two it looks like.

Verified end to end against a 2.1-shaped database: `artisan migrate`
dies with UnhandledMatchError before the change and completes after it,
leaving the row reading as S3 with its bucket intact.

ignacionelson eaba7ff633 Let an AWS-hosted install authenticate as its own IAM role
Requested by @ToMMy86 in #1773: an install running on ECS, EC2 or EKS
already has a role attached, and making it also create an IAM user with
a long-lived access key is both extra work and a worse security posture
than the one AWS offers.

The AWS SDK resolves credentials from its default provider chain
whenever none is supplied, and Laravel's FilesystemManager already omits
the `credentials` entry when the key and secret are empty — so the
upload path needed almost nothing. What blocked it was ours:

- `isConfigured()` demanded a key and a secret for S3, so a
  credential-less row was never "configured" and every upload silently
  stayed on the local disk.
- `access_key` was `required_if:provider,s3` on both the save and the
  connection test.
- `probeS3()` built an explicit `credentials` array, so Test connection
  would have failed even once uploads worked.

An explicit `use_instance_role` column rather than "the key was left
blank", because blank already means "keep the credential you have" on
this form — neither the secret nor the GCS key file is ever sent back to
the browser. Ticking it deletes the stored key and secret rather than
leaving them in the row for the next database dump.

Unchanged for everyone else: MinIO, Backblaze, Wasabi and any other
S3-compatible service still authenticate with a key and secret, and the
region is still required — the chain resolves credentials, not regions.

ignacionelson b96d060ad8 Compare an address ourselves, instead of asking the collation
Reported by @choewonwoo1817 as GHSA-wgxf-v8cr-37mj, with a working
end-to-end reproducer against Keycloak.

`where('email', $address)` is not an exact match. It is whatever the
database says equality means, and the collation INSTALL.md tells people to
create — utf8mb4_unicode_ci — folds accents:

    administrator@example.com = administrator@éxample.com   -> 1

Those are two different domains. The second is xn--xample-9ua.com, which
somebody else can register and honestly verify at an OIDC provider. So an
attacker with no account here could sign in as themselves and be handed
the first account: SocialAuthenticator found it, linked their subject to
it permanently, and started a session. No password, no interaction from
the owner, an administrator session where that account was one.

Comparison now happens in PHP, in one place, on every driver. Case is
still folded because that is a real requirement — addresses are stored
lowercased and a provider may send any case — and mb_strtolower folds case
without folding accents, which is exactly the line to draw.

Three call sites move to it and two deliberately do not. Loose matching is
right when *refusing* and wrong when *selecting*: AvailableEmailRule and
ClientProvisioning ask "is this address free", where a collation that says
no to a near-miss refuses more registrations, which is the safe direction.
The three that ask "which account is this" are the social path, the login
form (where a password still gated it, so it was confusion rather than
takeover) and the erasure command (irreversible, and the wrong row is the
wrong person).

The test story is the part worth reading. The suite runs on SQLite, whose
`=` is byte-exact, so this defect does not exist there and never did —
which is how it survived six releases with everything green. A test
written the obvious way passes on unfixed code. So the comparison is
pinned by driver-independent tests that always run, and the chain is
proved by AccountLookupCollationTest, which skips unless the connection is
MySQL and carries the command to run it. Run against real MySQL with the
real collation: it fails on the old code and passes on the new.

ignacionelson 0a3410140d Keep an erased staff member's library away from a client
The reassignment target is one installation-wide id used for every
erasure, and the picker offers clients deliberately: erasing a client and
handing their files to another client is what the setting is for.

Applied to a staff account the same id means something else. A staff
library is usually the whole installation's, so a client named there
inherits all of it — through an unattended scheduled job, with no
per-account confirmation, because this is the default rather than a choice
somebody makes at the moment of deleting.

So a staff account's content may only go to staff. With nobody valid to
hand it to, handleContent() already cascades, which keeps the existing
promise that content is never orphaned — it now also never becomes a
disclosure.

Not in the settings validation, which is where it looks like it belongs.
That runs when the target is chosen, and whose account will be erased
later is not knowable then. Both halves are only in hand here.

Found while checking a list from the portal session, who had it as one
where() on `type`. That would have been too broad: it would also have
stopped a client's files reaching another client, which is the case the
setting exists to serve. The condition is on the account being erased,
not on the target alone.

ignacionelson 1149df277b Ask for the public-folder key before publishing through a folder
Reported as GHSA-237r-jx85-j3hr.

A file is public if its own flag is on or its folder's is, so the upload
destination reaches the property `upload_public` guards without touching
the switch. A staff member allowed to upload but deliberately not allowed
to publish could publish to the anonymous public site by choosing where
the file landed.

No new key. `upload_to_public_folders` already exists, already appears on
every role's checkboxes, and already means exactly this on the client
branch of the same method — MyFilesController's picker calls it the
established meaning of the two keys. It was never asked of staff, so on a
staff role that checkbox did nothing at all: an unenforced permission, the
class this project audited and closed once already.

Effectively public rather than the folder's own flag, because the flag is
inherited down a subtree: a private folder inside a public one publishes
just the same, and a check on the folder's own column walks past it. There
is a test for that case specifically.

One place, because every upload path — the plain POST, the chunked flow,
the API and the client portal — already asks Folder::uploadableBy(). The
sibling report about the target folder not being scope-checked at all
(GHSA-56qr-cq56-qg66) was fixed in 2c2b86ff and is what put the scope
check on the line above this one.

ignacionelson ab5fa2da8b Make Entra prove the address, not just the directory
Reported by Dickson Massawe as GHSA-2rfh-v3j2-2jg7.

Pinning the tenant was half an answer. It defeats the classic
cross-tenant nOAuth, where a stranger's own directory asserts your
address, because a foreign tenant carries a different tid. It does
nothing about the same attack from inside the pinned tenant: Entra's
email claim is user-mutable — a B2B guest's otherMails among its sources
— so a colleague or an invited guest could present an administrator's
address and have their subject bound to that account.

Tenant-pinning answers "which directory said this". It never answered
"does this person own that address". xms_edov is Microsoft's own answer
to the second, and their guidance says to require it wherever email
identifies an account. Absent counts as unverified, which is the only
safe reading given it is absent by default.

Nobody is locked out by this, which is worth saying because it looked
like a breaking change until I read SocialAuthenticator::resolve in
order. An account already linked resolves by subject at step 3, before
trust is consulted at all — those keep working untouched. A first-time
link to an existing account is refused with the message that already
exists for exactly this case, which names the way through: sign in with
your password and connect the provider from your settings. A brand-new
account is still created; it goes to the approval queue rather than
auto-approving.

The settings screen and docs/testing-social-login.md now tell an
operator to add the claim, and there is an upgrade note.

The tests exercise fromSocialite() on raw claims, which nothing did
before: tests/Feature/Auth/SocialLoginTest.php builds a SocialIdentity by
hand and so never reaches this mapping. That is how the branch could
trust a tenant match alone with a full suite passing.

ignacionelson 5fb17388cd Stop scoped staff reaching groups that are not theirs
Reported by @Drescargot as GHSA-r3hg-3fxw-rcmr, in two halves.

The groups listing never narrowed at all. Every other action in that
controller is guarded with allowsGroupChange(), and index() — web and API
alike — built a bare Group::query(), so a client-scoped staff member was
shown every group on the installation with its name, description and
member count. StaffLibraryScope::groups() is that narrowing, and
assignableGroupIds() now reads from it rather than restating the same
rule a second time, which is how the two drifted apart to begin with.

The second half is the one that mattered. allowsGroupChange() asked only
groupReachesNoFurther() — "is anything shared with this group outside my
library" — which a group with nothing shared with it yet passes
vacuously. So a scoped staff member could rename, delete or publish a
group whose every member was somebody else's client. Publishing is the
sharp end: whatever is shared with the group afterwards is reachable
without signing in.

The reporter suggested putting the membership check inside
groupReachesNoFurther(). Tried, and it breaks two things. That predicate
is shared with allowsGroupMembership(), where a group nobody has joined
must stay usable so its creator can add the first member. And "every
member must be mine" is the obvious reading of the rule and is wrong: it
turns GHSA-whmp-p9hv-r7j7's narrowing — a mixed group's edit screen
loads and simply does not name the stranger — back into a 404, undoing
that fix. Four tests from it fail that way.

So the check sits in allowsGroupChange() alone, and asks whether the
group is wholly somebody else's rather than whether it is wholly theirs.
A mixed group stays workable and is still covered by the reach check; an
empty one stays nameable by whoever just made it; a group with members
and none of them theirs is refused.

ignacionelson 6560346280 Mark the first administrator's address verified, as intended
The last two paths that passed email_verified_at into User::create() and
lost it: the setup screen, and projectsend:admin for a container that
comes up from environment variables. It is deliberately absent from
$fillable, so mass assignment drops it without a word, and both meant to
set it.

The intent is plain in both cases — the first administrator typed their
own address into the form in front of them, and whoever provisioned the
container supplied it themselves. There is nobody to confirm it to.

Inert today, since MustVerifyEmail is not enabled on the model, but the
column is what a later switch would read: turning verification on would
have locked out the one account that cannot be helped by another
administrator.

Both are now pinned by a test that fails when the forceFill is removed.
StaffAccounts had already fixed this for staff and named the rest; with
client accounts done earlier today, that list is empty.

Also says on User::$fillable what absence from it buys and what it does
not. It stops a request smuggling a value in; it does not tell code that
meant to set the value that it failed. Four separate paths made the same
mistake against the same comment.

ignacionelson 896675d631 Tell a client whether their own file arrived
"Did it arrive?" is the question somebody asks about a file they sent, and
on a hosted free account — where a link is the whole of the sharing — the
count is the only evidence either way. Every file a client uploaded now
shows how often it has gone out and when it last did, in every render mode
of every theme.

Only their own. A download entry says somebody fetched the file, so a
count on a file shared with several clients tells each of them about the
others' activity, and nobody is entitled to that but the person who put
the file there. A file shared *with* this client carries null, not zero:
a zero would itself be a claim, and the two have to be distinguishable
because zero is an answer the owner came looking for and is shown as
words.

Counted from the activity log through the same three actions
DownloadAllowance uses, so a file leaving by the public site counts as
much as one leaving by its link. One query for a listing, none at all for
a client with no files of their own. Both filters have a test that fails
when only that filter is removed.

Two things a render check caught that types and a green build did not.
`t()` does no plural selection — the catalogues are flat key/value — so a
"one|many" string reached the screen with its pipe intact; the strings are
whole sentences now, with the singular spelled out. And the gallery card
was already laying its text out beside the action icons in a 200px column,
truncating the filename to "Q…" and the size to "75 …" on main today;
stacking them gives every line its full width.
2026-09-08 16:56:54 -03:00
ignacionelson 92bb807849 Show a client the public link to their own file
A client's portal lists two kinds of file side by side: what they
uploaded, and what somebody shared with them. Where a link exists on one
of their own, they can now copy it from the row — which is what makes the
hosted free plan a product rather than a place to put files, since a
customer there has no staff screen on which to make one.

The rule is narrow, and both halves are load-bearing: a link this client
created, on a file this client uploaded.

Not "a link on a file shared with them" — that link is the sharer's
decision about who may reach the file, and handing the recipient the URL
would quietly turn "you may download this" into "you may pass this on to
anyone".

And not "any link on their own file" either — a link staff minted on a
file a client uploaded exists for a reason the client may be no part of,
and on the shared instance it would sit beside the one link they were
promised. Ordering is by id, so an unfiltered lookup would hand them
whichever was minted first.

Both halves have a test that fails when only that half is removed. The
first draft did not: every case was carried by the ownership filter
alone, so the creator check was green for the wrong reason.

Links that no longer work are left out rather than shown greyed. The only
thing a client can do here is copy it, and a URL that answers "this link
has expired" is worse than no URL at all.

One query per listing, not one per row, and none at all for a client with
no files of their own.

ignacionelson 0a28e239d6 One home for what a client account is
Three surfaces create client accounts now: the staff screens,
/api/v1/clients, and the platform control plane in the private package.
Two of them held their own copy of the type, the role, the active flag,
the "0 means inherit the site default" quota, the verified stamp, the
activity entry and the seat guard — and the third could not have a copy
at all, because a package cannot import a host class.

ClientAccounts is that one definition, reached by name from outside.
What stays with each caller is what genuinely differs: its validation,
its response, its custom fields, and who is asking.

Two things changed rather than moved:

The seat cap is now checked inside create(), before anything is written,
instead of at the top of each controller. That is what makes a leaked
platform token an incident rather than an unbounded one — a guard that
ran only where somebody remembered it is not a guard.

email_verified_at is written with forceFill. It is deliberately absent
from User::$fillable, so every client-creation path passed it into a mass
assignment and lost it in silence. StaffAccounts already noted this and
named the other paths; this closes the client half.

ignacionelson b128b114b5 Make an announcement say who it is for
The first version refused clients outright. That was right for the only
message that existed — a hosted instance telling its administrator about
their plan — and it stopped being right the moment a message needed to
reach the *clients* of a shared instance, where the administrator is the
operator and the customers are client accounts.

The unsafe fix would have been to drop the guard and let each listener
check `isStaff`. The safe one is to make every caller say who it is
talking to and have core enforce it: `show()` now takes a required
`audience` with no default, and a message aimed elsewhere is dropped
before it reaches the props. A listener that forgets therefore reaches
nobody rather than everybody, which is the direction a mistake should
fall.

An unrecognised audience reaches nobody either, and is ignored rather
than thrown — a listener aimed at the wrong people should show nothing,
not break the page it was decorating.

The old "a client is never shown one" test became "a message for staff
reaches no client, even from a listener that never checks", which is the
property that actually matters and the one the enforcement provides. Two
more pin the other directions: a client message reaches clients and no
staff, and an unknown audience reaches neither.

cloud-modules declares `staff` for the free-plan band, and its test fake
enforces the same rule, so a listener aimed at the wrong audience fails
in the package's own suite rather than passing there and misbehaving in
the host.
2026-09-08 15:48:29 -03:00
ignacionelson 757fba19ca Give uploads a seam, and link-minting one home
Two pieces of groundwork, no behaviour change.

FileWasStored is dispatched from StoreUploadedFile, which every upload
path converges on — the chunked flow staff and clients share, and the
synchronous POST beside it. A listener therefore sees each upload once
without knowing which route produced it, which is the property that makes
it usable from outside this repository. A notification, not a filter:
nothing on it is mutable, and anything that needs to influence an upload
has to do so before the bytes land, which is what ResolvingUploadDisk is
already for.

CreateShareLink is the other half. Minting a link was a ShareLinksController
private concern, and the controller is an HTTP handler behind `staff`
middleware — so a link now needs making from outside a request as well.
Two copies of "make a token, write the row, log it" would drift, and the
half most likely to drift is the token, which is the entire authorization
for /s/{token}: there is no session behind it and no second factor, so
being unguessable is its only defence. Anything minted through the action
gets Str::random(32) — about 190 bits, more than a UUID's 122 — and never
a chosen value. The chosen-token path stays in the controller, where a
person is typing one into a form and its minimum length can be argued
about in a validation rule.

The permission questions stay in the controller too. Whether somebody may
set an expiry or a download cap is a fact about them, and the action has
no viewer to ask; it takes both already resolved, including the expiry,
because "the end of the 12th" depends on whose timezone you are in.

Five tests, including that the file a listener receives is complete and
readable rather than half-built, and that the staff form still refuses an
expiry to somebody without the permission after the extraction.

ignacionelson 763e7b0e2e Render one image once, however many requests ask at the same time
Renditions are generated on demand and cached by existence, and nothing
between the callers stopped two requests decoding the same image at once.
The atomic rename settled which file survived; it never stopped both from
doing the work. So N concurrent requests for one cold rendition were N
full-size decodes, each holding four bytes per source pixel — up to 160 MB
at the 40-megapixel ceiling.

That is not an attack. A public listing emits a thumbnail URL per file, a
browser opens six or more connections at once, and the first visit to a
gallery of ordinary camera images was six simultaneous decodes on a
container sized for one. PublicGroupsController reaches the generator with
no account at all, so nothing about it required a customer to be signed
in, and the 240/min throttle bounds rate rather than concurrency.

Worse than a crash, it did not resolve itself: a render killed mid-flight
renames nothing, so the cache warmed only by whatever finished before the
kill and the page died again on the next visit.

A lock keyed on the destination path — which already encodes the file, the
audience and the rendition, so two requests collide exactly when they
would have written the same path. The waiter re-reads after acquiring,
which is what turns a wait into a cache hit rather than a second decode of
the same image.

Waiting rather than refusing, because the arithmetic says so: a waiting
request holds an idle worker at about 35 MB, a rendering one holds that
plus the whole source bitmap. Six waiters cost what one renderer costs.

On timeout it refuses instead of rendering anyway. Falling through would
reinstate the pile-on at the moment the system is already struggling, and
one failed thumbnail is a better outcome than a container that dies and
takes the warm cache with it.

The wait is configurable because the right number is a property of the
machine — a small VPS reading a large source off a slow disk wants longer
— and clamped to at least a second, since a stray empty variable would
otherwise make every concurrent request fail instantly, which is the
opposite of the point.

Eight tests. Two go red without the lock, and the clamp is asserted on the
resolved value rather than the clock, because block() measures in whole
seconds and a timing assertion there would be flaky rather than wrong.

Found by the session sizing free-tier containers, from the outside.

ignacionelson a5496d24cd Stop describe() vouching for a detection it could not make
`FileDelivery::describe()` from a console returned
`{"method":"php","detected":true}` on every installation, whatever its web
server. detect() reads SERVER_SOFTWARE, which only exists inside a
request, so a console process has nothing to look at and falls to the
`php` default — and `detected: true` then vouched for it.

The value is right for that process and wrong as a statement about the
installation, which is how anybody running it from `artisan tinker` will
read it. Somebody verifying a healthy nginx tenant hit exactly that, spent
an afternoon on it, and only recognised it as an artefact of *where* the
question was asked after reading `nginx -T` in the container.

There is now a third field. `observed` is false only outside a request,
where `method` is a default rather than a finding. Both screens that read
this run in a request and always see true; it exists for whoever asks from
a shell, which is the one place the answer could mislead.

The two web paths are unchanged and were never wrong — `projectsend:status`
does not report delivery at all, so no fleet ever reported this
incorrectly. What was wrong was a confident answer to a question that
could not be answered from where it was asked.

Three tests: a console reading says not observed and still says php,
because php is what that process would actually do; a reading during a
request observes nginx; and a stated method is observed wherever it is
read, since a decision needs nothing detected to be true.

Found by the session verifying the 2.4.0 canary, not by me.

ignacionelson 7c16733c16 Stop a managed instance being able to hide the project news
I shipped both daily calls as the same kind of thing — an operator's
preference — and only one of them is. That was wrong in the direction that
matters, because it handed a decision over rather than keeping it.

An update notice on a hosted tenant is useless: they cannot act on it, the
image is ours, and the screen that would show it is closed by capability.
So that check does not run there at all, which is right and unchanged.

News is the reverse. Announcements about the product are exactly what a
hosted customer should be told, and a Cloud client with view_news sees
that card today. One administrator switching it off for everybody on that
instance is not a decision the platform meant to hand over — so on a
managed instance the news now runs whatever any setting says, including a
row left behind by an instance that used to be self-hosted.

Capability::NewsConfigure, Community-only, and the thing it gates is the
*choice* rather than the news. A self-hosted operator keeps the switch,
because there nobody else decides what their installation reaches out for.
An edition difference through the capability registry rather than an
edition check, as everything here is.

Gated in all three places rather than only the screen: the command ignores
the setting without the capability, the controller neither sends nor reads
the field, and the checkbox is absent. There is a test that a hand-crafted
PATCH cannot do what the missing checkbox could not, and the guard is
proved load-bearing — remove it and the managed-instance test goes red.

The changelog and product highlights said "two switches" and now say what
is actually true, including that neither appears on Cloud and why they are
absent for opposite reasons.

ignacionelson d7d7acce85 Put the announcement behind the header icon too, from one source
A message worth showing was only on the dashboard, which means somebody
who works in Files and Clients all day never meets it. It now also sits
behind an icon next to the notification bell, and that is on every page.

**One shared prop, not two.** "The same message in both places" is the
requirement, and two props would have drifted the first time anybody
edited one — so the hook moved out of DashboardController into
HandleInertiaRequests, and the dashboard reads the same shared value the
header does. The band and the dropdown also share the component that
renders the words, for the same reason: the reliable way to keep two
renderings identical is not to have two.

Renamed with it. ResolvingDashboardCallout was accurate for about an hour
and became a lie the moment it appeared somewhere else; it is
ResolvingAnnouncement now, and the prop is `announcement`. Free to rename
because nothing has shipped yet — the only other reference was
cloud-modules', by string, updated alongside.

The icon follows UpdateAvailableIcon beside it: absent entirely when there
is nothing to say rather than a dead control, and a plain dot instead of a
count, because there is only ever one of these and a "1" would invite
somebody to look for the second.

Two tests worth naming. One asserts the message reaches a page that is not
the dashboard, which is the whole point of the addition. The other asserts
a client is shown nothing even from a listener that sets it
unconditionally — a client's header carries the bell too, and staff
messages must not reach it however careless the listener.

ignacionelson 334b11d562 Give packages a way into the sidebar and the top of the dashboard
Two seams, in the shape docs/extension-points-architecture.md settles on:
a Laravel event with a mutable payload, dispatched unconditionally, and
with nothing listening the documented default holds. A community
installation gets an empty list and a null callout, which is exactly what
it had before.

ResolvingNavigationLinks exists because the sidebar is a hardcoded array
in app-sidebar.tsx, so a package could not contribute to it at all — the
nav entry was a separate manual edit every time a package grew a screen,
and being manual it was forgotten more than once. Staff-only, decided in
HandleInertiaRequests rather than trusted to each listener: these render
in the administration area, and a client's portal shows their own files
and nothing about the installation. There is a test that a listener adding
unconditionally still reaches no client.

ResolvingDashboardCallout is one band above the widget grid rather than a
widget in it. The grid is a closed list of keys that dashboard.tsx renders
one by one and each viewer arranges, so a message that mattered would sit
wherever somebody dragged it, or under a fold, or switched off. One at a
time, first listener wins: a dashboard that can accumulate banners
accumulates them, and the second is what teaches people to skip the first.

Core learns nothing about what either seam carries. Titles, URLs and copy
all arrive from the listener, and that is not fastidiousness — the first
caller is the hosted edition's link to its own customer portal and its
pitch to free instances, which is commercial copy belonging to one
offering and has no business sitting in the public repository because the
sidebar happens to live here.

An external link renders as a plain anchor opening in a new tab, never an
Inertia <Link>: Link expects a page component back and another origin will
not give it one, so it fails without saying so. It is also never marked
active — nothing outside this app is the page you are on.

ignacionelson da1f432d87 Let an installation stop calling home, two different ways
Every instance reached projectsend.org twice a day and an operator could
stop neither. The news feed had no switch of any kind — FetchNewsCommand
went straight to the request, touching Settings only to write results back.
The update check had one, but its default is on, and a managed fleet had
been setting PROJECTSEND_CHECK_FOR_UPDATES=false for months against code
that reads no such variable: check_for_updates is a database setting, so
the environment never touched it and updates were enabled fleet-wide the
whole time.

They look like one problem and are two, which is why they are fixed
differently.

**The news feed gets a Setting**, its own key, default on. A Cloud client
with view_news sees that card today — DashboardController gates it on the
permission alone, with a comment saying in as many words that it is both
editions and carries no capability. So switching it off is an operator's
choice rather than an edition's, and it must stay reachable everywhere.
Its own key rather than riding on check_for_updates because they are two
different wants: "do not tell me about releases" and "do not show me the
project's news" are asked separately, and an installation with no outbound
access at all wants both.

**The update check gets a capability guard**, ahead of the setting it
already had, and deliberately not a Setting of its own. On a managed
installation the result is unreachable rather than unwanted: the
dashboard's System card and the update UI are both gated on
Capability::SystemUpdates, which is Community-only, and the image is
chosen by whoever provisioned the instance. A Setting would encode a fact
about the edition as a preference — leaving it switchable back on per
tenant, buying a nightly call for a number no screen can draw, and putting
the reason in a provisioning script rather than beside the code. A
self-hosted install holds the capability and loses nothing: its own
setting still decides.

Both guards return success rather than failure. A scheduled task that was
asked not to run has not failed, and reporting it as one would put a red
line in the scheduler history every night for an installation behaving
exactly as configured.

The news switch is on the General settings screen, outside the
can_manage_updates block that hides the update toggle where the capability
is absent — a setting only reachable by editing a database row is a row,
not a switch. Seven tests, and the two that matter go red when either
guard is removed. Sixteen locales translated in the same commit rather
than left for the pass, since a release is close.

ignacionelson 02946abf85 Stop the delivery docblock naming nginx as the only local path
#1733 explains its two lifetimes by contrasting a presigned URL with
X-Accel-Redirect, "nginx serves these bytes, now, to this request". That
was true when the branch was written and stopped being true on 1 September,
when FileDelivery gave the local path four methods — auto, nginx, xsendfile
and PHP streaming.

The argument survives intact: every one of those authorises exactly one
response and nothing that outlives it, which is the property the contrast
rests on. Only the naming was stale, and a docblock that says "nginx" to
an operator running Apache reads as "this does not apply to me".

Found resolving the merge, not by the author — the branch predates the
change it collided with.
