Both ran scram verify_plain (~1s PBKDF2 at 1.2M iters) inline under the engine
lock, freezing the whole daemon per login. Add NetAction::DeferAuthenticate +
AuthThen continuation + ctx.defer_authenticate, mirroring DeferPassword: the
module/SASL path fetches the verifier cheaply and defers; the link layer runs
verify_plain on spawn_blocking, then Engine::complete_authenticate finishes the
login (IDENTIFY reuses the same ctx helpers, so its login/AJOIN/vhost/memo
side-effects are unchanged). Tests resolve the defer inline (cfg(test)). The
gRPC web-login path was already fixed; no login path stalls services now.
(GHOST/DROP/CERT/GROUP still verify inline but are rare account ops, not logins.)
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.
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.
