Problem 1: an assigned bot joined via IJOIN with no status mode, so it had no
+o. Join it with the 4-param IJOIN form (ts 1, mode o) so it's opped, matching
Anope's default bot modes (+o), and exempt bots from SECUREOPS/RESTRICTED so the
op is never stripped.
Problem 2: the shared stat counters lived only in memory, so a restart wiped
them. Snapshot them to the log (StatsSet event, folded into NetData + compaction)
periodically and on shutdown, and reseed the live registry from the log at
startup. Live gauges (online counts) stay re-derived, not stored.
Services IJOIN was ':<uid> IJOIN <chan>' with no membership id, but InspIRCd
requires <chan> <membid> (min 2 params). On link the ircd rejected the whole
server connection with 'Insufficient parameters' the moment a BotServ bot joined
its assigned channel, splitting services. Add a monotonic membid, matching how
InspIRCd itself sends IJOIN. Validated against a real InspIRCd 4 with production
data: full burst to ENDBURST, all bot IJOINs accepted, no split.
Mode locks were char-only, so Anope FLOOD/JOINFLOOD locks were dropped on
migration. Carry a value per locked param-mode through the event log, MLOCK
parsing/display, drift enforcement, compaction, and the Anope importer, so a
migrated network keeps its flood protection verbatim.
REGISTER was rate-limited but RESEND and RESETPASS weren't — anyone could
repeatedly request confirmation/reset codes for any account with an address
on file, flooding the victim's inbox and burning the service's sender
reputation. A per-account 60s cooldown (code_issue_wait, mirroring the vhost
request throttle) now gates both paths; guessing was already infeasible
(2^40 code + 5-try limit), so this closes the abuse, not an auth hole.
SQUIT arrives once for a splitting server (by SID), but a hub takes its
whole subtree with it — users behind downstream servers were left as stale
state. The parser now distinguishes a sourced downstream SERVER (tracked
with its parent) from the unsourced uplink handshake, the engine keeps the
SID->parent tree, and a SQUIT forgets every user across the departed
server's subtree. Tree is rebuilt each link. Wire formats verified against
the InspIRCd 4 m_spanningtree source.
A netsplit is signalled once via SQUIT, not as a QUIT per user, so every
user behind the departed server lingered in services' state — stale
sessions, session-limit slots, and channel memberships. The parser now
surfaces ServerSplit and the engine forgets every uid carrying that
server's SID prefix, leaving other servers' users untouched.
KILL was never parsed, so a killed user lingered in services' state (stale
session, session-limit slot, channel membership) and a killed services bot
vanished for good. The parser now surfaces UserKilled; a killed real user is
forgotten like a QUIT (shared forget_user helper), while a killed bot is
dropped and reconciled so it is reintroduced and rejoins its channels.
The inbound parser ignored METADATA entirely, so on a services netburst
(after a restart/relink) the ircd's replayed 'accountname' metadata was
dropped — every logged-in user looked logged out to services until they
re-identified, losing ChanServ access. Parse METADATA <uid> accountname
into a new AccountLogin event that restores account_of (empty = logout);
our own echoes and other keys are filtered.
REQUEST rejected a forbidden host, but ACTIVATE never re-checked, so a
pattern forbidden after a request was filed was granted on approval. The
activate path now re-reads the forbidden list. Operator SET stays an
intentional override (unchanged), so the check lives in approve, not the
shared prepare_vhost.
FORBID accepted and stored EMAIL patterns, but nothing ever checked them:
a forbidden address still registered and could be set via NickServ SET
EMAIL. Both paths now reject a matching address (new ForbiddenEmail
outcome), matching how NICK and CHAN forbids already gate registration.
Founders can attach a contact email to a channel, shown in INFO and
cleared when set empty. Mirrors SET URL exactly; Local-scope channel
metadata. Completes the channel DESC/URL/EMAIL trio.
Founders can attach a homepage URL to a channel; it shows in INFO and
clears when set empty, mirroring SET DESC. Local-scope (channel metadata),
not gossiped, consistent with the entrymsg/description events.
Lets an account keep its last-seen/online line in INFO visible only to
itself and to opers. Default stays public (Anope's default). Accepts
STATUS (with USERMASK as an alias) per Anope's SET HIDE <field> grammar.
The account's last-active time was tracked but never surfaced. INFO now
reports it, reading 'now (online)' when the account has a live session.
Threads NetView into the INFO handler for the session lookup and carries
last_seen on AccountView.
Nick protection was unconditional. SET KILL OFF lets an account opt out —
an unidentified user keeping one of its nicks is no longer prompted or
renamed to a guest. Stored inverted (no_protect) so protection stays the
default. Accepts Anope's ON/QUICK/IMMED/OFF; grace is a fixed interval
here, so the finer variants simply enable protection like ON.
A user with SET AUTOOP OFF is never auto-opped on join, even where they
hold channel access — they op themselves via ChanServ UP. Stored inverted
(no_autoop) so the default stays auto-op. Join gates on both the channel
setting and the account preference; either can opt out.
SET AUTOOP {ON|OFF} controls whether access members are auto-opped/voiced
on join (on by default). Stored inverted as a settings flag so the
default stays on, and gated in the join handler.
SET NOTIFY {ON|OFF} controls whether you're told about new memos on login;
SET LIMIT <n>|NONE sets your mailbox cap (honoured on SEND, NONE = the
network default). New memo_notify/memo_limit account fields + one
MemoPrefsSet event.
Split RECOVER from GHOST: GHOST just frees a session off a nick you own,
while RECOVER also puts you back onto it (frees the ghost if present, then
SVSNICKs you to the nick). RECOVER works on an already-free nick too.
IGNORE ADD/DEL/LIST manages a per-account memo-ignore list; a memo from
an ignored account is silently dropped, and the sender is still told it
was sent so the ignore isn't revealed. New memo_ignore account field +
events, and a check in SEND.
SVSPART <nick> <#channel> [reason] forces a user out of a channel
(admin-only), completing the SVS command family alongside SVSNICK and
SVSJOIN. New ForcePart action rendered as the ircd SVSPART command.
GETEMAIL (auspex) lists accounts whose email matches a glob. SET
RESTRICTED makes a channel kick anyone without access (or oper) as they
join, mirroring the SECUREOPS on-join enforcement.
FORBID ADD/DEL/LIST bans a NICK, CHAN, or EMAIL glob from being
registered — a network-wide policy that gossips like an AKILL and every
node enforces. Nick registration is blocked in pre_register_check (both
NickServ REGISTER and the account-registration relay), and channel
registration in ChanServ REGISTER. New Forbid store + events, mirroring
the akill subsystem.
SET <#channel> SUCCESSOR <account>|OFF names an account that inherits the
channel if the founder's account is dropped or expires, instead of the
channel being released. Adds a ChannelInfo.successor field + event, and
centralises the founder-gone channel release into a single
release_founded_channels store method used by DROP, expiry, and the
gossip account-gone path so all three transfer consistently.
OWNER/DEOWNER (+q), PROTECT/DEPROTECT (+a, alias ADMIN), and
HALFOP/DEHALFOP (+h) set the higher channel-status modes. They reuse the
OP handler's target resolution and PEACE check; OWNER is founder-only,
the rest need op access.
SENDALL (admin) leaves a memo on every registered account for a
network-wide announcement that persists until read. AKICK CLEAR empties a
channel's auto-kick list in one command.
UPDATE re-applies your auto-joins and vhost and re-checks for waiting
memos without re-identifying. LIST (auspex-gated) shows registered
accounts matching a glob, capped at 100. Adds an accounts_matching store
method.
UP re-applies the op/voice status your channel access entitles you to;
DOWN removes your status. Mirrors the OP/VOICE command's access check and
mode emission, and requires you to actually be in the channel.
CANCEL recalls the sender's most recent unread memo to a target (one the
recipient already read can't be recalled); CHECK reports whether the last
memo you sent someone has been read; INFO summarises your mailbox. Adds
memo_cancel/memo_check store methods and shares MAX_MEMOS from the module
root instead of duplicating it in send.rs.
Echo is the authority the ircd account module forwards to: parse
ENCAP <us> SWACCTREG <reqid> <origin> <kind> <account> <p2> :<p3> into an
account request, and answer the origin server with
ENCAP <origin> SWACCTRES <reqid> <kind> <account> <status> <code> :<message>.
Thread the origin through the reply so responses route back to the
requesting server. Replaces the placeholder ACCTREGISTER/ACCTREGRESULT
names that nothing on the wire actually spoke.
The store's map_err(|_| Internal) discarded the real IO error, so a
disk-full or permissions failure was invisible; log it once in the log
append path where it happens. Add echo_api::require_oper (parameterised
by the required privilege) and route the three copied per-service guards
through it, keeping each service's own wording and policy.
Each service now exposes its help catalog via Service::help_topics; the
engine collects them into a network-wide index on Network, reachable
through two new NetView methods. HelpServ uses it: HELP <service>
[command] (or a bare service name) serves any service's per-command
help, bare HELP lists the services, and its own ticket commands still
work. No cross-crate dependency: the catalog flows through the SDK's
NetView, keeping every module dependent only on echo-api.
ChanServ, BotServ, HostServ, MemoServ, OperServ, and StatServ now route
HELP through the shared renderer with per-command topic tables, so every
service supports HELP <command>. The renderer matches slash-grouped
names (OP/DEOP/VOICE/DEVOICE) so a paired command resolves as one topic.
Adds unit tests for the renderer.
New echo-api primitive: a HelpEntry table plus a shared help() renderer.
HELP lists a service's commands; HELP <command> prints that command's
detail. Every service routes its HELP arm through the one renderer, so
the shape is identical across the network. Wired into NickServ and the
six newer services so far.
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.
The one command handler (ROLL/EXROLL/CALC/EXCALC all route to it) and
its formatting helpers move to roll.rs; lib.rs keeps the dispatcher, the
expression-evaluator module, and its tests. No behaviour change.
POST/DEL/LIST each move to their own file (each still parameterised by
bulletin kind, so OPOST/ODEL/OLIST route to the same handler); the kind
constants stay in lib.rs beside the dispatcher. No behaviour change.
REQUEST/CANCEL/LIST/VIEW/TAKE/NEXT/CLOSE each move to their own file;
the oper guard and the shared claim helper stay in lib.rs beside the
dispatcher. No behaviour change.
REGISTER/DROP/INFO/LIST/ADD/DEL/FLAGS each move to their own file; the
two shared guards (login check, can-manage) stay in lib.rs beside the
dispatcher. No behaviour change.
lib.rs kept only the struct and the dispatcher; SCORES and CHANFIX now
each live in their own file (scores.rs, fix.rs), matching every other
service. No behaviour change.
The protocol link is a different kind of module from the service
pseudo-clients, so give it its own home: modules/inspircd ->
modules/protocol/inspircd. A future ircd link is a new crate alongside
it. Workspace member, dependency path, the crate's own api path, and the
docs are updated to match. No code change.
The service pseudo-clients and the ircd protocol link sat flat at the
repo root, mixed in with the daemon core and the SDK. Move them all
under modules/ so the tree separates concerns cleanly: the daemon in
src/, the SDK every module links against in api/, and the loadable
modules — the pseudo-clients plus the protocol link — in modules/.
Workspace members, the daemon's per-crate dependency paths, and each
module's api path are updated to match; the docs follow. No code change.
