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.
On connect or nick-change to a registered nick the user isn't identified
to, NickServ prompts them to IDENTIFY and schedules a rename; a short
enforcement sweep renames them to a guest nick after a grace period if
they still haven't. Gated on the uplink's initial burst so a relink does
not enforce every already-online user, and cancelled the moment they
identify (via IDENTIFY or SASL) or leave the nick.
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.
Credentials: the SCRAM-SHA-256 verifier is now the only password
credential. PLAIN and IDENTIFY verify the plaintext against it via
scram::verify_plain, exactly as a SCRAM login proves knowledge of it, so
an account provisioned from a verifier alone (external authority) works
over every mechanism, not only SCRAM. Removed the redundant argon2 hash
entirely: the field, the Credentials member, the AccountPasswordSet
field, hash_password/verify_password, and the argon2 crate. SASL SCRAM
already forces a PBKDF2 verifier into the store, so the hash never raised
the at-rest floor. OS RNG now comes from rand_core.
Registration: finished draft/account-registration over the ircd relay.
VERIFY confirms the emailed code, RESEND reissues it, STATUS reports
state, and REGISTER now emails the code and replies verification_required
on the relay path too, not only through NickServ.
Add the AGPL-3.0 license (matching Orbit) and set it in Cargo.toml so
the crate metadata is complete. Handle SIGTERM/Ctrl-C: the run loop now
selects against a shutdown signal and exits cleanly, so systemctl stop
returns promptly instead of waiting out the kill timeout (every event is
already fsync'd, so nothing is lost either way). Verified: on SIGTERM the
daemon logs and exits 0.
The event log is the account/channel authority, so make it durable:
persist() now fsyncs every committed event before reporting success, and
a serialisation failure is an error instead of a silently-dropped blank
line. Add a hardened systemd unit (scripts/echo.service), an atomic
gzip backup script with retention (scripts/backup.sh), and a Deployment
wiki page (install, durability, backup/restore, upgrade, monitoring).
Config::load now checks the SID is 3 alphanumeric chars and that
server.name and uplink.host are set, failing with a clear message
instead of a cryptic link-time error. Give the Service and Protocol
traits and ServiceCtx proper rustdoc so cargo doc is useful to module
authors.
The service crates had almost no tests. Exercise each one's core path
through a real Engine: MemoServ delivery, GroupServ register/add,
ReportServ file/close, InfoServ post (admin-gated), HostServ
request/activate, OperServ akill add/remove, BotServ bot add (oper),
StatServ SERVER gating, and ChanFix/DiceServ basics. +9 tests.
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.
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.
GroupServ, ChanFix, ReportServ, HelpServ and DiceServ were left out of
the default service suite, so they came up only when explicitly opted
in — an add-on tier the others don't have. They are core services like
any other: put them in default_services() so the standard suite is the
full set of pseudo-clients, and correct the stale 'NickServ + ChanServ'
default in the config comment, main.rs, README and MODULES.
engine/mod.rs had grown past 5k lines, most of it one test module and
a few large method clusters. Lift the tests into engine/tests.rs, and
move the cohesive method groups into sibling files — sasl, kicker
(chat policing), register (account-authority relay), and dispatch
(service routing and fantasy). The Engine type, its master event
handler, shared helpers, and the small state structs stay in mod.rs;
each sibling adds its own impl Engine block. Pure reorganisation: no
behaviour change, tests unchanged and green.
engine/db.rs had grown past 4k lines. Split the single Db type's
operations into sibling files by domain — account, channel, network,
the event log, and the module-facing store facade — while all type
definitions, the log plumbing, and shared helpers stay in db/mod.rs.
Pure reorganisation: no behaviour change, tests unchanged and green.
Extends the fantasy router so a dice command (!roll/!calc/!exroll/!excalc)
in a bot channel routes to DiceServ (if loaded) instead of ChanServ, and
its reply is turned into the assigned bot speaking the result to the
channel — so a tabletop game rolls in the open, not in a private notice.
Everything else still routes to ChanServ. Factored the dispatch into
service_uid()/route_to() helpers shared by both branches.
Users open tickets with REQUEST (or HELPME); the queue is event-sourced
and, because a request is an event, the audit feed announces it to staff
and records it in the searchable log — so OperServ LOGSEARCH finds a ticket
by any word, the same trail as reports. A user can CANCEL their own open
ticket. Operators work the queue: LIST [ALL], VIEW, TAKE (claim), NEXT
(claim the oldest unassigned), CLOSE. Filing is rate-limited. Opt-in.
That completes the six third-party modules — all interconnected: they
share the account/channel/oper identity, the event-sourced store, and the
one audit/incident trail.
The engine samples live op state on a short cadence, scoring op-time per
identity (account, else host) on the network view — a net +1 per pass
while opped, -1 while idle, so trusted regulars rise and stale ops fade.
ChanFix (operator-only) reads those scores: SCORES <#chan> shows the
standings, CHANFIX <#chan> reops the present regulars scoring above a
share of the top score, once the channel is opless enough and has real
history. It defers to ChanServ — a registered channel is refused. Opt-in.
C++ note: the original persists scores to the services DB and runs its own
timers; here scoring rides the existing periodic loop and lives on the
ephemeral network view, so it's node-local and rebuilds itself.
User groups (!name) — a founder plus member accounts, each with group-
access flags (the shared flag primitive: F founder, f manage, i invite,
c chan-access, s set, m memo). REGISTER/DROP/INFO/LIST/ADD/DEL/FLAGS;
event-sourced and federated like accounts.
The flagship interconnection: a channel access entry may name a !group, so
every member inherits that channel access. Resolution is group-aware — a
new db.channel_caps() unions a user's direct access with any group they
belong to, and the engine's join handler auto-ops/voices through it. So
"ChanServ FLAGS #chan !team +o" auto-ops every member of !team, and
removing someone from the group revokes it. Opt-in.
A granular access system, replacing the op/voice-only levels with per-user
flag letters (f full, o auto-op, O op, h auto-halfop, v auto-voice, t
topic, i invite, a modify-access, s settings, g greet). One shared
primitive in the api — level_caps() resolves a stored level to capabilities
(recognising the legacy op/voice/founder presets so nothing breaks) and
apply_flags() applies +/- deltas — so join_mode/is_op/access_rank all
route through it and a flag-granted +o auto-ops exactly like a legacy op
entry.
ChanServ FLAGS <#chan> [account [+/-flags]] lists or edits access;
changing needs the founder or the 'a' flag. This is the foundation
GroupServ will reuse for group membership flags.
Any user can REPORT <nick|#channel> <reason>; filing is rate-limited per
reporter. Reports are an event-sourced, federated queue operators review
with LIST / VIEW / CLOSE / DEL. The interconnection: because a filed report
is an event, the engine's audit feed already announces it to the staff
channel and records it in the searchable action log — so OperServ
LOGSEARCH finds a report by any word in it, tying reports into the same
trail as bans, kicks, and everything else. Opt-in (add "reportserv").
InfoServ becomes the dedicated home for network information bulletins,
backed by the same event-sourced news store OperServ NEWS used — one place
to post, not two. POST/LIST/DEL manage public bulletins (shown to every
user on connect); OPOST/OLIST/ODEL the oper ones (shown to operators on
login). Anyone may LIST the public bulletins; posting/removing is admin-
only. The engine's existing connect/login display hooks render them
unchanged. The OperServ NEWS command is retired accordingly (the news
events and the display path stay). Default service.
A stateless service for tabletop games over IRC. ROLL/CALC evaluate a dice
+ math expression (ROLL rounds to a whole number, CALC keeps decimals);
EXROLL/EXCALC also show each die. Supports NdM / dM / d% dice, + - * / ^ %,
parentheses, implicit multiplication, unary minus, pi/e, a set of functions
(sqrt, floor, sin, min, …), and N~expr to repeat a roll.
Modernises the C++ original: it ships its own Mersenne-Twister RNG in C
and parses via shunting-yard with a variadic-argument hack; this is a
typed AST from a small recursive-descent parser plus the rand crate —
shorter, and the dice/sides/total caps make abuse (999999d6) a clean error
instead of a hang. Opt-in (add "diceserv" to [modules].services).
Adds Accounts.Provision(name, scram256, scram512, email) so an external
authority that stores verifiers rather than passwords (a website) can bulk-
backfill accounts it never had the plaintext for. It creates the account
with the given SCRAM verifiers — SCRAM and keycard login work immediately;
typed-password login stays disabled (empty password_hash) until a real
password lands via Register/SetPassword. Refuses an existing account, so a
re-run can't clobber a fully-credentialed one. scram512 may be empty
(SCRAM-SHA-512 then falls back to 256).
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.
DEFCON [1-5] reads or sets a network-wide defence posture, each level
adding a restriction the engine and services enforce:
- 4: channel registrations frozen (ChanServ REGISTER)
- 3: all registrations frozen (the pre_register_check choke-point, covering
NickServ and the IRCv3 relay, plus channels)
- 2: sessions additionally capped to one per host
- 1: full lockdown — new connections are turned away on connect
Setting a level announces it to the whole network. Node-local level on the
db so services can read the derived freezes; admin-only.
