A subdirectory with its own .bdrive/config.json now syncs only through
its own project: the parent mount never scans into it, materializes
over it, or emits deletes for paths under it (cached paths are dropped
without delete ops, the same posture as newly ignored files). Detection
is presence-based (config.IsMount) so even a corrupt nested config
still fences. This makes the team-knowledge-folder-inside-a-personal-
mount topology safe.
The plugin's init command and skill gain a "connecting knowledge
tooling" playbook: a detection ladder (gbrain -> OKF wiki -> plain
docs folder -> starting-point menu) and two hard rules — one transport
per folder (git-tracked dirs are handed off via git rm --cached +
gitignore before syncing) and knowledge-as-scoped-subfolder (never a
repo root). Conflict copies documented with their exact glob
(*.bdrive-conflict-*), since openknowledge validate cannot see them.
New flow tests: shared-subfolder scope both ways, teammate connect
over identical/divergent local content, nested mount syncing
independently on two projects, and a guard pinning the conflict-copy
filename to the documented glob.

BearDrive is now hub-based only. Clients sync through a `bdrive web` hub
over https and never talk to object storage directly.
- Remove the `bdrive remote` / `bdrive remote set` command entirely. Wiring a
folder's remote is `bdrive init` (always a hub); switching hubs is
`bdrive login <url>` then re-`init`. Object storage stays as the *hub's*
backing store (`bdrive web s3://…`), never a client remote.
- Reposition README, CLAUDE.md, and the beardrive skill from
"no server required / direct-to-bucket" to hub-based; section 2 of the
skill is now "storing a hub's data" (server-side), and the stale
`init --remote` / `remote set` examples are fixed.
BREAKING: direct client-to-bucket sync is no longer supported.

- New `bdrive logout` clears the saved token + account (folders untouched);
`--forget` also drops the remembered server. Switching hubs is
`bdrive login <new-url>` then re-`init`.
- `remote set --help` now explains the two remote kinds — object storage
(s3/gs/file) vs a bdrive hub (https://<server>) — with examples, instead of
leading with only s3://. (The https:// hub scheme was already accepted.)
- Docs updated (README, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md).

Wire a `database` block in bdrive web config: {driver: file|sqlite|postgres,
dsn}. Default file, unchanged (existing per-registry paths honored). sqlite
or postgres routes all five hub registries through the SQL MetaStore.
Verified: signup + project + invite round-trip survives a restart on BOTH
file and sqlite; the sqlite DB holds real relational tables/rows (not JSON
blobs). Docs: a "choosing a database" section (README), the persistence
architecture note (CLAUDE.md), and a config mention (SKILL.md).

A hub on a public URL could be signed up to with any fake email. Make the
safe posture the default and turn the dangerous ones into startup errors.
Three supported postures:
- invite-only (NEW default): allow_signup defaults false. A valid org
invite link bootstraps an account even when self-signup is closed — the
only way in. pageLogin/pageSignup detect a /join/<token> target via
BuiltinAuth.InviteValid (wired to OrgDB.ValidInvite) and offer account
creation; signupInvited skips the domain/approval/verification gates and
activates immediately (the owner's invite is the vetting).
- approval-gated: allow_signup + require_approval (no SMTP needed).
- domain-restricted + verified: allow_signup + allowed_domains +
require_verification (needs smtp).
Hardening:
- BuiltinAuth.ValidateSignupPolicy (run at hub startup in web.go) refuses to
boot an open hub with no gate, or require_verification without a mailer
(the link would otherwise only reach the server log).
- handleAdminPolicy rejects enabling verification without SMTP; the UI
toggle is disabled with clearer copy in that case.
Tests: TestValidateSignupPolicy, TestInviteBootstrapsAccountWhenSignupClosed,
TestPolicyVerificationNeedsMailer. Verified end to end in the running hub
(outside-domain invitee onboards via a link; direct signup stays closed).
Docs updated (README, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md).

Replace the frontend's hash-based routing with the History API and real
`/` paths, so URLs read like native file paths:
/#p-4e61c7d4/shared%2Fidea.md -> /p-4e61c7d4/shared/idea.md
/#shared%2Fnotes.md -> /shared/notes.md (volume mode)
/#join/<token> -> /join/<token>
Client (app.js):
- parseRoute() reads location.pathname; pushURL/syncURL push native paths
(segments percent-encoded, "/" kept literal); a popstate handler restores
back/forward. Invites read from /join/<token>.
- All api/ fetches and the app.js/style.css refs are now root-absolute so a
deep path doesn't break relative URL resolution.
Server (server.go):
- New Server.frontend handler: real assets serve directly; every other
non-API/auth/share GET returns index.html (SPA fallback), so deep links
and refreshes resolve instead of 404ing. Reserved prefixes stay 404s.
- Invite links minted as /join/<token> (orgs.go).
Tests: TestFrontendSPAFallback covers the fallback + reserved-prefix 404s;
existing invite test updated. Verified end to end in the running hub
(deep-link reload, back/forward, no %2F/# in the bar). Docs updated.

LICENSE is the verbatim GNU AGPL-3.0 text; the Runbear, Inc. copyright
notice lives in the README license section (kept verbatim so GitHub's
license detection works). README also now documents the OSS/managed
boundary: everything here is self-hostable including teams; the managed
service adds only hosting, SSO, billing/quotas, backups, support.

bdrive mnt was replaced by bdrive init, but the plugin still taught the
old model — /beardrive:mount even instructed Claude to run a command
that no longer exists.
- /beardrive:mount -> /beardrive:init: login-aware, uses bdrive init
(resume/create/connect, --shared), points at /beardrive:install for
the full team setup.
- Skill description reframed around "start syncing a project"; "mount a
folder" kept as a trigger phrase since people still say it.
- status command, marketplace manifest, README plugin section, and
CLAUDE.md updated to match.

Share links (bdrive share <file>, or the web UI's Share button):
- Mint an unguessable public URL (/s/<token>) anyone can open — no
account. HTML renders as a page, markdown gets a standalone shell,
PDFs open inline; ?download=1 attaches.
- Sandboxed: /s/* responses carry CSP `sandbox allow-scripts` + nosniff
and never see auth cookies, so shared content's scripts run in an
opaque origin and can't touch hub sessions.
- Links serve the file's LATEST synced content and live until revoked;
--expires makes self-destructing ones; --list/--revoke manage them.
Re-sharing a file returns the same link. File-backed shares.json.
- CLI resolves the project by walking up to .bdrive/ from the shared
file, warns when the hub address is private (LAN-only links), and
hints when the file hasn't synced yet.
/beardrive:install (plugin command) — team onboarding driven by Claude:
- Ensures the bdrive binary, signs in (bdrive login), runs bdrive init
(whole folder or a shared subfolder like wiki/).
- Asks before appending a CLAUDE.md section that teaches agents to put
shareable artifacts in the shared folder and mint URLs with bdrive
share; asks before registering project-level hooks in
.claude/settings.json: blocking pull at UserPromptSubmit, async push
on PostToolUse Write|Edit — teammates sync with or without the plugin.
- Fix: the plugin hook script still checked for the old `.bdrive` file
and was a silent no-op since the directory change; now checks -d.
Tests: share creation gating, public access + sandbox headers, dedupe,
latest-content semantics, revoke, expiry, markdown/download variants,
list filtering, registry persistence. Docs updated (README sharing +
Claude Code sections, SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md).

Authentication (previous phase, now landed together with its follow-ups):
- Email+password+name accounts behind an AuthProvider interface; the OSS
server ships BuiltinAuth only (file-backed auth.json: bcrypt password
hashes + SHA-256 token digests, plaintext never stored; server-owned
/auth/* pages; managed deployments can swap in another provider).
- bdrive login: loopback-callback browser flow (sign-up on the page, the
terminal finishes itself) with a device-code fallback for headless
machines; long-lived revocable device tokens in settings.json.
- Password reset via plain SMTP (stdlib) with a log-link fallback when no
SMTP is configured.
Move-proof projects:
- .bdrive is now a directory; config.json carries a stable mount id.
The volume store (~/.bdrive/volumes/<mount-id>/) and registry are keyed
by that id — never the folder path — so renames/moves are free.
- The daemon re-reads the project config each tick and exits cleanly
(propagating nothing) when its folder vanishes; the registry self-heals
and the next bdrive command at the new location resumes with zero
spurious changes.
bdrive init is the front door (mnt/umnt removed; bdrive stop pauses):
- Interactive on a TTY (create new / connect existing project from the
server's list; whole folder / shared subfolder via the include list),
full flag bypass (--name/--project/--shared/--yes), never prompts
without a TTY. Runs the login flow first when there is no session.
Default server: beardrive.ai (config.DefaultServer).
Web history (revert-ready):
- Hubs now always require auth; journal ops carry the signed-in account
(user/user_name) alongside the git/OS fallback author.
- File-backed device registry: per-device name, OS, account, and the
public IP the server observed, joined into history at read time.
- GET /api/p/<id>/history?path=|prefix= (newest first) and
GET /api/p/<id>/blob?sha= stream any exact version — blobs are retained
forever, so the next phase's revert is re-putting an old blob.
- UI: History button (file versions or project feed), per-folder history
shortcut, view/download of any past version.
Tests: auth flows (callback, device-code, reset single-use, persistence,
gating), history API + device registry, folder-move survival, registry
self-heal, ops-carry-account; docs (README/SKILL/CLAUDE) updated.

The web server (bdrive web) becomes a full sync hub, and client devices
get one-command onboarding — without ever seeing storage info or holding
cloud credentials:
- bdrive web -c config.json: server configurable from a JSON file
(remote/addr/upload/upload_ttl/projects_db); explicit flags win.
- Hub mode: pointing bdrive web at a storage root hosts many projects,
each under <root>/<project-id>/ (remote.Prefixed). Projects live in a
file-backed registry (projects.json — loaded at open, rewritten
atomically per change) with create-or-join-by-name semantics.
- Per-project APIs: /api/projects (list/create/get) and
/api/p/<id>/{tree,file,render,download,upload/*,store/*}. The web UI
grows a project list with per-project browsing and hash deep links.
- Browser uploads and a store proxy for syncing devices: presigned
direct-to-storage PUTs when the backend can sign (S3 presign, GCS V4
signed URLs; expiring, credential-free), relayed through the server
otherwise. Journals are never presigned — only immutable blobs.
Blobs-before-journal and one-writer-per-journal invariants hold.
- https:// remote backend: a device syncs one hub project through
/api/p/<id>/store/* — mnt/sync/daemon/log all work unchanged.
- bdrive login <url>: verify a hub and remember it as the device default
(settings.json). bdrive init: create-or-join a project named after the
folder (--name/--project override), write .bdrive, seed a starter
.bdriveignore, mount, and start the daemon — one command per project.
- Hard-break rename: .beardrive->.bdrive, .beardriveignore->.bdriveignore,
~/.beardrive->~/.bdrive, BEARDRIVE_HOME->BDRIVE_HOME, temp/conflict
prefixes; old names are no longer read.
- Tests: presigning, project registry persistence, store API validation
and gating, project isolation over live HTTP, browser upload flows, and
two-device convergence through a hub (incl. read-only pull-only mode).

One binary instead of two: cmd/bdrive-web becomes the `web` subcommand
(same flags and positional folder-or-URL argument). Measured cost of
carrying the webapp in the CLI: +1.4 MB on a ~56 MB binary (~2.4%) —
the cloud SDKs dominate either way. Drops the second goreleaser build
and the separate go install path.

Product and project are BearDrive; the CLI binary is bdrive (bdrive mnt,
bdrive sync, ...), the web viewer is bdrive-web. All conventions follow
the full name: .beardrive settings file, .beardriveignore, ~/.beardrive
home, BEARDRIVE_HOME, .beardrive-conflict-* / .beardrive-tmp-* files.
Plugin/skill/marketplace renamed to beardrive (/beardrive:mount).
Module path is now github.com/runbear-io/beardrive — merge only after
renaming the GitHub repo, or go install breaks.

BearDrive is the product and repo brand (open source + future managed
cloud); sfs stays the CLI command, and .sfs/.sfsignore/~/.sfs conventions
are unchanged, so nothing breaks. Brew formula becomes
runbear-io/tap/beardrive (still installs the sfs binary).
Not included here (need the GitHub repo rename first): the Go module
path and repo URLs.

- sfs-web (cmd/sfs-web, internal/webapp): read-only Obsidian-style web UI
serving a local folder (default) or an sfs remote; markdown rendering
with [[wikilinks]], task lists and tables, file downloads with ETags,
per-file provenance from the journals; added to goreleaser builds
- .sfs project file (internal/config): per-folder volume/remote/include
settings that travel with the folder, win over the global registry, and
never sync; daemon picks up edits live
- .sfsignore + include lists (internal/syncer): gitignore-style selective
sync with ! re-includes, applied symmetrically in scan and materialize;
newly ignored files stop syncing without being deleted anywhere
- Claude Code plugin (plugin/, .claude-plugin/): sfs skill, /sfs:mount and
/sfs:status commands, turn-boundary sync hooks (blocking pull on prompt,
async push on stop); installable via the repo's marketplace manifest
- CLAUDE.md and .claude project settings for Claude Code development
