Rebrand the daemon and workspace: the binary is now `echo`, every crate
is `echo-*` (`echo-api` and the module crates), Rust imports use
`echo_*`, the gRPC proto is `proto/echo.proto` with package `echo.v1`,
and the log filter, gossip peer-name default, and on-disk store default
(`echo.db.jsonl`) follow. Docs updated throughout. No behaviour change;
crate directories and the config schema are untouched.
By default fedserv owns accounts itself — nothing changes, no external
service required. Set [auth] external = true and an outside authority (the
website) owns identity instead: NickServ REGISTER / DROP / SET
PASSWORD|EMAIL / RESETPASS / CONFIRM / CERT / GROUP and the IRCv3
registration relay are all refused ("managed on the website"), so IRC
can't mint or change a second identity. Login is unchanged — fedserv still
authenticates locally against the accounts the authority pushes in via the
existing gRPC Accounts API, so lookups stay in-memory fast.
fedserv keeps owning all IRC-domain data (channels, access, vhosts, bans,
memos) keyed by the account name in both modes. One config bool, off by
default, so standalone deployments are unaffected.
The connection that puts an IP over its allowance is killed on connect.
The ircd's per-user IP (UID param 7) is now plumbed through UserConnect and
tracked per-IP in the live network view (incremented on connect, released
on quit).
- [session] default_limit sets the base allowance (0/absent = off).
- OperServ SESSION LIST <min> / VIEW <ip> inspect live counts.
- OperServ EXCEPTION ADD <ip-mask> <limit> [reason] / DEL / LIST override
the limit per IP-mask (limit 0 = unlimited); event-sourced so they
federate and survive restart, matched most-permissive-wins.
All admin-gated.
When [expire] warn_days is set and email is configured, the expiry sweep
now emails a heads-up to owners entering the warning window (inactive past
the threshold minus the lead time, but not yet expired) for whom an
address is on file — the founder's address for a channel. It's a chance to
keep the record by simply using it before the deadline.
Each idle spell warns at most once: a new AccountExpiryWarned /
ChannelExpiryWarned event marks the record, and the next activity stamp
clears the mark so a later idle spell warns afresh. The warning email is a
first-class api template (fedserv_api:📧:expiry_warning), alongside
the reset and confirm mails.
Accounts and channels now carry a last-activity stamp and are dropped
once inactive past a configured threshold. A login stamps the account, a
join stamps the channel — both coalesced to at most one log entry per day
so routine traffic doesn't bloat the log, and stamps replicate so
activity on any node keeps a record alive network-wide.
Expiry is lazy in the proven style: a periodic pass computes it from the
stored stamps with no per-record timer, reusing the same relation the
vhost and suspension expiries use. The sweep spares operator accounts,
accounts with a live session, occupied channels, and anything an operator
has pinned with the new NOEXPIRE command (NickServ NOEXPIRE <account>,
ChanServ NOEXPIRE <#channel>, both Priv::Admin). Each expiry is announced
to the audit channel and clears the channel's +r.
Configured under [expire] (accounts_days / channels_days); a zero or
omitted field leaves that kind never expiring, and omitting the section
disables expiry entirely.
A [log] channel now receives a one-line announcement of each notable
state change a service command makes — registrations, drops, vhosts,
suspensions, akicks, access and founder changes, bot and oper host-config
changes — naming the actor (by nick, plus account when it differs) and
what changed. The feed reads the typed event log directly: dispatch marks
the log before running a command and diffs it after, so each announcement
is exactly that command's footprint, sourced from the services server so
it reaches the channel without a pseudo-client having to be present.
Private and cosmetic events are deliberately never surfaced: memo bodies,
password/verifier material, greets, auto-join, personal and channel
cosmetic settings. Omitting [log] disables the feed.
A typed Priv enum (Auspex/Suspend/Admin) and a Copy Privs bitset carried on
Sender, instead of Anope's stringly-typed privilege namespace and its two
separate gating mechanisms. Opers are declared in TOML ([[oper]] account +
privs); the engine loads them and resolves the sender's privileges per command,
so a module just checks from.privs.has(Priv::X). First use: NickServ INFO
reveals hidden fields to an auspex oper. Unblocks SUSPEND, admin LIST, SASET,
GETEMAIL. Priv bitset test + end-to-end auspex engine test.
A [modules] block selects which services start (default: NickServ + ChanServ);
main.rs constructs each compiled-in module only when named, so a node can run a
subset and optional modules ship dormant. Add fedserv-example, a minimal
read-only Service that depends on fedserv-api alone -- the template a new
pseudo-client is copied from, enabled by adding "example" to the config.
MODULES.md documents writing and registering a service or protocol module.
Snapshot (full read) + Subscribe (live stream) over the same committed-entry
channel gossip uses. Identity and metadata only — password hashes, SCRAM
verifiers, cert fingerprints, and the finer channel-ops-list events never
cross this API. Bearer-token authenticated, optional server TLS. Verified
end-to-end against a live test-net registration, not just unit tests.
Protocol-agnostic core: a Protocol trait maps raw server-to-server lines to a
normalized event/action model, so the engine never touches a raw line and a new
ircd is one new module. Adds event-log state (state is a fold over the log) and
a service framework. First protocol impl links to an InspIRCd (insp4) uplink —
completes the CAPAB/SERVER handshake, bursts, and introduces NickServ.
