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.
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.
Members set a personal greet with NickServ SET GREET; a channel founder
enables display with BotServ SET <#channel> GREET ON. On join, if greets
are enabled and the member has channel access and a non-empty greet, the
assigned bot shows [account] greet in the channel.
Per-account greet is a typed field on Account (AccountGreetSet event, rides
the account snapshot); the per-channel toggle is a new ChanSetting::BotGreet
bool. Greet is public in NickServ INFO.
Three brute-force / weak-secret gaps closed:
- REGISTER and SET PASSWORD now enforce a length range and reject a password
equal to the nick (Anope's minpasslen/not-nick rules), with tests.
- IDENTIFY is throttled per account: a few free tries then an exponential
backoff that clears on success, so a password can't be ground down. SASL had
a limiter; interactive login had none.
- Emailed confirm/reset codes go from 6 digits to 8 base32 chars (~40 bits) and
are burned after a few wrong guesses, closing a reset-code takeover window.
Throttle and code state are node-local and in-memory (not in the event log).
nickserv, chanserv and the InspIRCd protocol move out of the binary into their
own workspace crates (fedserv-nickserv, fedserv-chanserv, fedserv-inspircd),
each depending only on fedserv-api. human_time and the branded account emails
move into the SDK crate so a module needs nothing from core; the engine keeps
its own inherent methods and builds emails via fedserv-api too. The bin now
constructs each module from its crate instead of an in-tree #[path] include.
Proves the SDK is self-sufficient: a third-party module is the same shape.
