contextcheck (CI lint) flagged the admin handler calling BanUser without
the request context — the service opened its telemetry span from
context.Background(), detaching the ban from its request trace. Both
moderation entrypoints now take ctx; the span joins the caller's trace.

admin's fileSHA256 duplicated VerifyChecksum's hashing body. One exported
helper now serves both the TOCTOU snapshot in handleApplyUpdate and
VerifyChecksum itself.

Service level: BAN_MEMBERS refusal (Forbidden even for nonexistent targets
— no id enumeration), equal-rank and owner-target hierarchy refusals,
authorized ban/unban round-trip, self-ban rejection. Admin API level:
equal-rank owner ban 403s, a lower-positioned ADMINISTRATOR cannot ban the
owner, downward bans still work. All existing NewAdminAPI/NewHandler test
callsites now inject a real ModerationService so the production
authorization runs in every PATCH-user test.

requireBanAuthority (BAN_MEMBERS + role hierarchy) was wired only into
ModerationService.BanUser/UnbanUser — which had zero production callers.
The live path, handlePatchUser, ran a raw UPDATE with no hierarchy check,
so any admin-panel actor could ban an equal- or higher-ranked user,
including the owner. The ban/unban branch now calls the service (dead code
becomes THE code — ban path 1 of 3 consolidated), which also audits as
user_ban/user_unban, keeping the historical audit vocabulary.
Authorization now runs in permission → existence → hierarchy order: an
actor without ban authority sees Forbidden, never NotFound, so the ban
path cannot enumerate user ids. The role+ban transaction is gone — the
ban leg lives in the service, runs first, and a refusal returns before
the role change executes, so a rejected ban never half-applies a PATCH.
MemStore gains honest BanUser/UnbanUser so the matrix is testable.

Applies fixes for 20 adversarially-verified findings from a whole-codebase
security review (server side). All Go build-tag variants build, `go vet` is
clean, and the suite passes (the sole failing test, ws TestEmitEvents, is a
pre-existing nil-harness failure unrelated to these changes).
High severity:
- auth: close TOCTOU in TOTP verify rate-limit by recording each attempt
atomically up-front (was Check-then-Allow), restoring the per-user
brute-force cap.
- plugin: enforce the CPU/time budget on every WASM guest call via a
WithTimeout context (WithCloseOnContextDone interrupts runaways); the
configured budget was previously parsed but never applied.
- api/waf: inspect request bodies for chunked (ContentLength==-1) requests
so the SQLi/XSS/RCE body rules can no longer be bypassed.
- ws: rate-limit voice_join/voice_leave and voice_e2ee announce/offer, which
fan out to every participant and could force mass disconnects.
Medium severity:
- api: run bcrypt on the unknown-user login path (no || short-circuit) to
remove the timing-based username-enumeration oracle.
- ws: verify LiveKit webhooks via the SDK receiver so the signature is bound
to the body hash (kills forgery/replay).
- authz: require READ_MESSAGES for reactions and for plugin-command
broadcasts; route the latter through RequireChannelAccess.
- api: cache the client-update signature fetch and rate-limit the endpoint.
- service: propagate DeleteOtherSessions failure from ChangePassword instead
of silently reporting success.
- api: trust the rightmost non-proxy X-Forwarded-For entry, not the
client-controllable leftmost one.
- plugin: route auto-registered commands through the conflict-checked
RegisterCommand; pin the DNS-validated IP for host_http dials
(DNS-rebinding TOCTOU).
- api: mark access-controlled downloads private/no-cache + Vary: Origin.
Low severity:
- auth: fail closed when a fully-shaped TOTP ciphertext fails GCM auth
(was returning the ciphertext as plaintext).
- api: apply the livekit-proxy path allowlist to WebSocket upgrades too.
- service: verify attachment ownership before linking (IDOR).
- admin: bound the bootstrap setup invite (5 uses / 24h); re-verify the
update binary hash immediately before rename+spawn (TOCTOU).
- service: require BanMembers + role hierarchy for moderation ban/unban.
chore: stop tracking the stray Server/owncord-server.exe build artifact.
Test infra: add uploader_id to the hand-rolled ws test attachment schemas and
make MemStore.GetAttachmentByID a no-op lookup, matching production/DB behavior.

Phase B + C review pass: critical security and correctness fixes.
Security
- S1: plugin admin endpoints now require admin.RequireAdminAuth in addition
to AdminIPRestrict. Previously a LAN attacker on the allowed CIDR could
list/enable/disable/uninstall plugins without a session.
- S2: rewrite plugin HTTPDo allowlist with proper net/url parsing. Empty
entries are ignored, suffix matches require a dot boundary, and a custom
Dialer rejects loopback / RFC1918 / link-local addresses to close the
DNS-rebinding TOCTOU window. Redirects re-validated.
- S3 + #9: manifest Name pinned to ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}$, Entrypoint
and UI tab assets validated against absolute / "..", NUL byte, backslash
and non-canonical paths. Asset handler hardened with filepath.Rel check
for symlink and prefix-without-separator escapes.
- S5: pluginBridge postMessage handler ignores the pluginId in the message
body and uses an e.source -> contentWindow lookup instead, defeating
spoofed messages from same-origin scripts.
- S8: HTTPDo body capped at 5 MiB via io.LimitReader, redirects bounded
to 5 hops.
Correctness
- Critical seq alignment: PersistEvent now takes the hub-assigned seq as a
required parameter so the events table row seq always matches the wrapped
payload seq. Hub seeds its in-memory atomic counter from MAX(events.seq)
on startup. Drops in the persister queue no longer mis-align row vs
payload seq.
- #1: live plugin.Registry constructed in main.go BEFORE NewRouter and
threaded through; admin handler is no longer wired with nil.
- #3: EventPersister.Stop is now safe to call without a prior Start by
tracking a started flag — previously deadlocked waiting on done.
Wiring
- NewRouter signature gains *plugin.Registry; two test callers updated.
- admin.RequireAdminAuth exported as a thin wrapper over the existing
package-private adminAuthMiddleware.
- sqlc query templates updated for the new PersistEvent + GetMaxEventSeq
contracts (sqlite + postgres).

Critical fixes:
- Move svc creation in router.go above MountInviteRoutes/MountChannelRoutes
(was used before definition — compile error)
- Restore hasChannelPermREST in channel_handler.go for upload_handler.go
(was removed but still referenced — compile error)
Permission cache invalidation:
- Add PermissionInvalidator interface to admin package
- Wire through NewHandler → NewAdminAPI → handlePatchUser
- Call InvalidateUser(userID) after role changes in admin panel
- Update all admin test files to pass nil as new parameter
Also clarifies WithTx documentation for SQLite single-writer semantics.

- release.yml: integrate signing/manifest/changelog steps with new
multi-platform artifact layout (windows/ + linux/ dirs)
- updater.go: combine Linux tar.gz support with existing signature
verification; merge platform-aware asset matching into switch
- updater_test.go: keep PR Linux tests + dev signing/manifest tests
Soundboard was never implemented — remove USE_SOUNDBOARD permission bit,
rate limiter, protocol entry, admin mockup reference, TODOS entry, and
all related test assertions.
Security audit across all 11 sections (AUTH-001 through DATA-001) found
0 critical, 1 high, 7 medium, 15 low issues. This commit addresses:
- Add json:"-" to User.PasswordHash, User.TOTPSecret, Session.TokenHash
to prevent accidental serialization of sensitive fields (M7)
- Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to file serve responses (M5)
- Apply owner-only guard to backup list endpoint for consistency (M6)
- Persist rate-limit lockouts to SQLite so they survive restarts (M2)
- Normalize DM non-participant responses to 404 to prevent oracle (L3)
- Add explicit per-entry expiry check in partial auth Lookup/Consume (L1)
- Truncate unknown WS message type to 64 chars before echo (L6)
- Rate-limit ping handler to 2/sec per user (L7)
- Replace raw error strings in update handlers with generic messages (L15)
- Update 4 tests to match new 404 behavior for DM non-participant
Replace separate UserCount() + CreateUser() with atomic
CreateOwnerIfEmpty() that checks and inserts in a single SQLite
transaction. Concurrent race test validates exactly 1 owner under
20 parallel requests.
The first-run setup POST was vulnerable to cross-site request forgery
because it had no Origin validation. Added isSetupOriginAllowed check
that validates the Origin header against configured allowed_origins.
Requests with a mismatched Origin are rejected with 403. Requests
without an Origin header (same-origin or curl) are allowed through.
The restore handler was overwriting the live SQLite database while the
old *sql.DB handle remained open. Now: broadcasts server_restart to
clients, checkpoints WAL, closes the DB connection, then copies the
backup file over the closed database. Server must restart after restore.

CSP nonce policy blocked all onclick handlers, preventing navigation.
Switched to 'unsafe-inline' (admin panel is IP-restricted). Also fixed
boolean settings display — toggles now accept '1' from the database.
Admin panel redesign:
- Rebuild frontend from mockup with Discord-style dark theme
- Stat cards, section cards, role badges, modal system, toast notifications
- All 7 sections: Dashboard, Users, Channels, Audit Log, Settings, Backups, Updates
- Modals replace confirm()/prompt() for all destructive actions
Live server logs (new):
- RingBuffer + MultiHandler tees slog to stdout AND in-memory buffer
- SSE endpoint at /admin/api/logs/stream streams logs in real-time
- Log viewer with level filters (DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR), search,
auto-scroll, pause/resume, copy all, clear
- Color-coded lines by level, source categorization from file paths
Audit log improvements:
- Search filter (actor, action, target, detail)
- Action type dropdown filter
- Copy All and Export CSV buttons
- Instant client-side re-filtering
Console output:
- Switch from JSON to human-readable text format (slog.TextHandler)
- Move startup banner before init logs so it appears first
- NEW-1: Add rows.Err() check in ListMembers to catch cursor errors
- NEW-2: Add minVal parameter to queryInt so offset=0 is not rejected
- NEW-3: Fix copyFile double-close by removing defer, using explicit
close on both success and error paths
- NEW-4: Add GetAllChannelPermissionsForRole batch query, eliminating
N+1 GetChannelPermissions calls in channel list and search handlers
- NEW-5: Cap fetchBody with io.LimitReader(1 MiB) to prevent memory
exhaustion from malformed release assets
Server:
- Enforce category-type validation: text/announcement only under text categories,
voice only under voice categories (400 on mismatch)
- Admin panel category field changed to dropdown with auto-filtered type options
- Default setup creates both Text Channels and Voice Channels categories
Client:
- Add create/edit/delete channel modals (admin/owner only)
- "+" button on category headers to create channels with pre-filled category
- Right-click context menu on channels for edit/delete
- Mouse-based drag-and-drop reordering within categories
- Admin API methods: adminCreateChannel, adminUpdateChannel, adminDeleteChannel
- Immediate local store update on reorder for instant feedback
Tests: 7 server integration tests, 31 client unit tests (create/edit/delete modals)
- #16: Fix golangci-lint issues (unchecked Close(), unused funcs, naming)
- #17: Add KeybindsTab and LogsTab unit tests (19 tests, 81%+ coverage)
- #18: Add rate limiting to chat_edit and chat_delete handlers
- #19: Fix cert mismatch handling via event listener instead of string match
- #20: Validate SHA-256 colon-hex fingerprint format in Rust ws_proxy
- #21: Optimize session+ban check with single JOIN query
- #22: Sort channels by position when redirecting after deletion
- #23: Rename admin test files for clarity
Also fixes ban expiry regression (H-1 from code review) by using
auth.IsEffectivelyBanned() to properly respect temporary ban expiry.
Fix 70+ errcheck violations by adding explicit error discards (`_ =`)
for unchecked return values across test helpers and deferred Close()
calls. Remove unused `senderID` field from broadcastMsg and unused
`defaultCleanupMaxWindow` const. Apply De Morgan's law, remove empty
branch, and simplify redundant type declaration per staticcheck.

When no users exist, the admin panel shows a setup wizard instead of the
login form. Creates the first Owner account with a session token and
generates an unlimited invite code for onboarding other users. The setup
endpoint is locked out after the first user is created.
Also fixes the admin panel 404 by serving index.html directly for the
root path instead of delegating to http.FileServer.
