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.
Canonicalise a requested vhost the way the ircd displays it (a disallowed
underscore becomes a hyphen) before storing and applying, so what we keep
matches what shows on the network. A vhost can no longer be assigned to two
accounts: prepare_vhost normalises, validates, and checks vhost_owner at
every assignment point (SET/REQUEST/ACTIVATE/TAKE/DEFAULT), so two inputs
that collapse to the same host are caught as one.
Approach recommended by siniStar (the ns_nethost normalisation logic).
A member may request a vhost at most once a minute; a request sooner is
refused with the wait time. In-memory per-account (not event-logged), the
same shape as the identify brute-force throttle.
FORBID <regex> / FORBIDLIST / FORBIDDEL let operators block impersonating
user requests (e.g. (?i)(admin|staff)); REQUEST refuses a matching host.
Matching reuses the linear-time RegexSet, so untrusted patterns are safe.
TEMPLATE <$account...> sets a network auto-vhost pattern; DEFAULT gives a
user $account.users.example with their sanitised account name. HostServ's
node config (offers/forbidden/template) is consolidated into one HostConfig
threaded through the log replay.
REQUEST <host> records a pending vhost (typed Option<PendingVhost> on the
account, VhostRequested/VhostRequestCleared events); operators review with
WAITING and either ACTIVATE (assign + apply to online sessions) or REJECT
(clear it). Host validation and the operator gate are shared with SET.
