- Add logoData and faviconData columns to nodes table
- Create /api/admin/node/upload endpoint for direct DB storage
- Create /api/node/logo and /api/node/favicon endpoints to serve images
- Update admin page to use new upload endpoint
- Remove dependency on admin's personal S3 storage for node assets
Removed all E2EE chat endpoints, crypto logic, and related API routes, transitioning chat to plain text storage and transport. Updated chat send/receive endpoints to use signed actions and enforce DM privacy settings. Cleaned up Swarm chat inbox, key management, and related debug endpoints. Updated user profile to support DM privacy, improved search for handle queries, and refactored conversation/message logic to support the new model. Migrated bot settings and privacy settings to new locations.
Introduces encrypted private key storage for nodes and users, updates chat message schema to support sender-side encryption, and adds supporting libraries and tests for cryptographic signing and identity unlock flows. Includes new database migrations, API route updates, and React components for identity unlock prompts.
- Add chat keys API endpoint for storing and retrieving encrypted RSA public/private key pairs
- Create client-side crypto utilities for E2E encryption/decryption with hybrid encryption support
- Implement useChatEncryption hook for managing encryption state and key generation in chat UI
- Add chatPublicKey and chatPrivateKeyEncrypted fields to user schema for key storage
- Update chat messages API to return encrypted content with sender's public key for decryption
- Modify send message endpoint to accept pre-encrypted content from client while maintaining legacy server-side encryption
- Update chat page UI to integrate client-side encryption workflow
- Ensure private keys are encrypted client-side with user password before transmission to server
- Server cannot decrypt message content in E2E mode, providing true end-to-end encryption
- Remove ActivityPub infrastructure (webfinger, nodeinfo, inbox, activities, signatures)
- Implement native peer-to-peer Swarm network with gossip protocol
- Replace federated timeline with Swarm timeline aggregating posts from all nodes
- Migrate direct messaging to end-to-end encrypted Swarm Chat system
- Update user interactions (follow, like, repost) to use Swarm protocol
- Add cryptographic key management for DID-based identity system
- Remove server-bound identity model in favor of portable DID identities
- Update documentation to reflect Swarm architecture and capabilities
- Add debug utilities and chat testing tools for Swarm network
- Refactor database schema to support distributed user directory
- Update bot framework to work with Swarm network interactions
- Simplify API routes to use Swarm protocol instead of ActivityPub
- This transition enables true peer-to-peer communication, instant interactions, and encrypted messaging while maintaining sovereign identity through DIDs
