Claude 1c476ccb58 merge: reconcile sister branch claude/plan-phases-b-c-bGpoS
Resolves the parallel Phase B/C work that landed on the sister branch
while this branch was in review. Both branches independently implemented
real OTel + Wazero runtimes; this merge keeps the best of each.

Conflict resolution
- Server/plugin/sandbox_wazero.go: rewritten as a hybrid. Keeps the
  HEAD lifecycle (eager `platformInit` with WASI preview-1, explicit
  `platformDeactivate` per-instance, runtime closed via Registry.Close)
  AND adopts the sister branch's richer artefacts:
    * `WithMemoryLimitPages` actually enforces `cfg.MaxMemoryMB`,
    * the JSON-over-linear-memory ABI
      (`allocate` / `command_dispatch(ptr,len) → (ptr,len)` /
      `deallocate`),
    * `listExportedCommands` auto-binds commands the plugin exports
      via `list_commands` at activation time (capability-gated).
- Server/plugin/registry.go: kept the HEAD `activate()` snapshot
  pattern (read `runtimePlatform` under RLock, pass into
  `activateWithRuntime` as a parameter) so a concurrent Close can't
  race the wazero call. Sister branch's LoadAll stale-staging cleanup
  and UninstallPlugin on-disk dir removal came in via auto-merge.
- Server/telemetry/telemetry_otel.go: kept the HEAD implementation
  (race-fixed AppMetrics rebind, uint64 overflow guard, idempotent
  shutdown, trace-provider cleanup on prom failure) and wired in the
  sister branch's `OTLPInsecure` config field for plaintext gRPC opt-in.
- Server/go.mod: accepted sister branch's `BurntSushi/toml v1.6.0`
  for the new TOML manifest support.
- Client/tauri-client/vitest.config.ts: union of both globs
  (`tests/**/*.test.ts`, `src/**/*.test.ts`, `src/**/*.test.tsx`).
- PHASE_BC_LOCAL_TODO.md: combined the two checkbox histories;
  TOML manifest, hello.wasm fixture, and OTLPInsecure are all marked
  done now.

Sister branch additions accepted via auto-merge
- Server/plugin/examples/hello/{hello.wasm,main.go}: precompiled 925
  KiB TinyGo plugin with the full ABI (allocate, deallocate,
  list_commands, command_dispatch, on_event).
- Server/plugin/manifest_{toml,nottoml}.go: TOML manifest parser
  behind the wazero build tag, JSON fallback elsewhere.
- Server/plugin/loader.go: prefers `plugin.toml`, falls back to
  `plugin.json`.
- Server/api/plugins_handler.go: structured error responses + slog.
- Server/main.go, Server/config/config.go: OTLPInsecure plumbing,
  defaults polish.
- docs/{contributing.md,server-configuration.md}: documentation
  updates.

Test status
- `go build` passes on default, -tags otel, -tags wazero, and
  -tags otel,wazero.
- `go vet` passes on every tag combination.
- `go test ./...` passes on default and on -tags otel,wazero.
- Client: `npx tsc --noEmit` clean; vitest 3188/3188 across 112 files.

OwnCord

The gaming chat platform you actually own.

Early Alpha / Work in Progress OwnCord is in active development and is not production-ready. Expect rough edges, rapid changes, and occasional breaking behavior.

Do not use it for sensitive communications yet.

Development Model

OwnCord is built with an AI-first development workflow. Most implementation is generated through autonomous AI tooling, with quality validated primarily through automated checks (CI, tests, linting) and real-world feedback during alpha.

This approach enables fast iteration, but it also means behavior may change quickly between releases.

OwnCord is a self-hosted chat stack with a Go server and a Tauri desktop client. It includes real-time messaging, voice/video via LiveKit, file sharing, and a web admin panel.

Quick Start

Option A: Prebuilt binaries

  1. Download assets from GitHub Releases.
  2. Run the server binary:
    • Windows: chatserver.exe
    • Linux: ./chatserver
  3. Open https://localhost:8443/admin and create your Owner account.
  4. Generate invite codes in the admin panel and share them with friends.

Option B: Docker (Linux server)

cd Server
cp .env.example .env
cp livekit.yaml.example livekit.yaml
# Edit both files before starting
docker compose up -d

See the full setup guide in docs/deployment.md.

The client uses TOFU (Trust On First Use) for self-signed certificates: it prompts once, then pins the certificate for future connections.

What OwnCord Already Has

  • Real-time channels and direct messages over WebSocket
  • Voice/video channels via LiveKit
  • Invite-only registration and role-based permissions
  • Web admin panel with logs, backups, and update tooling
  • File uploads and inline media rendering
  • TOTP 2FA support and API rate limiting
  • Desktop client auto-update with signature verification

See deeper feature and architecture docs in docs/client-architecture.md and docs/protocol.md.

Architecture

Two main components:

  • Go server (REST API, WebSocket hub, SQLite, admin panel)
  • Tauri v2 desktop client (Rust backend + TypeScript frontend)

Build and Test

Prerequisites

  • Go 1.25+
  • Node.js 20+
  • Rust stable (client builds)

Build from source

# Server (Windows)
cd Server
go build -o chatserver.exe -ldflags "-s -w -X main.version=1.0.0" .

# Server (Linux)
cd Server
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o chatserver -ldflags "-s -w -X main.version=1.0.0" .

# Client
cd Client/tauri-client
npm install
npm run tauri build

Core verification commands

# Server
cd Server
go test ./...

# Client
cd Client/tauri-client
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm test

For the full command set, use docs/contributing.md.

Configuration

On first run, the server generates config.yaml and a local data/ directory:

data/
├── chatserver.db
├── certs/
├── uploads/
└── backups/

Key options include TLS mode, upload limits, LiveKit settings, and admin CIDR restrictions. See docs/server-configuration.md.

Security and Vulnerability Reporting

  • For vulnerabilities, use GitHub Security Advisories (private disclosure flow).
  • Do not open public issues for security bugs.
  • Read full policy and hardening notes in docs/security.md.

Update Signing Notes (Maintainers)

Client and server update signing keys are intentionally separate.

Required Actions secrets for release signing:

  • TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY
  • TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD
  • SERVER_UPDATE_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY
  • SERVER_UPDATE_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD

When rotating the server updater key, update Server/updater/server_update_public_key.txt and use staged rollover for live fleets.
