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.)
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.
The link layer debug-logged every raw line, so a user's 'PRIVMSG NickServ
:identify <password>' and SASL payloads landed in plaintext in the log — and the
default log filter was echo=debug. Default to echo=info (production no longer
logs raw lines at all), and add link::redact so that even at debug the NickServ
identify/register/set-password arguments and SASL payloads are masked.
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.
Emails now render an HTML template from templates/email with a plaintext
fallback, sent as multipart/alternative. A configurable brand name shows
in the template. Reset and confirmation mails share one styled base.
Adds a config-driven mailer: a SendEmail action the link layer pipes to
a configured command (sendmail -t, msmtp, ...) off-thread. NickServ
RESETPASS <account> emails a short-lived code to the address on file;
RESETPASS <account> <code> <newpassword> completes the reset. Codes are
node-local; the password change itself federates.
SET PASSWORD changes your password (derived off-thread like register) and
SET EMAIL sets an address. DROP deletes your account, releases and drops
the channels you founded, and logs you out. A dropped account federates,
and each node logs out any local session that was relying on it.
When a peer's registration wins a name a local session was logged into,
that session authenticated against a credential that no longer exists.
The node now clears its accountname (the ircd emits RPL_LOGGEDOUT) and
tells the user why. A new outbound channel lets the engine push these
services-initiated actions to the uplink from the gossip path, drained
by the link loop alongside incoming traffic.
Nodes run anti-entropy over a TCP link: each advertises its version
vector, the peer replies with the log entries it lacks, and ingest is
idempotent so re-delivery and reconnect after a split both converge.
The engine is shared behind a mutex; config gains [gossip] and [[peer]].
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.
