Makes a self-hosted hub safe to expose on a public URL and operable
without hand-editing JSON — addressing the blocker/major findings from
the persona usability evaluations.
Signup gating (config auth block, all optional):
- allowed_domains: signup email must match (e.g. only @runbear.io)
- require_verification: email-link activation before sign-in (reuses mailer)
- require_approval: hub admins approve new accounts (admins list)
- brand shown on the sign-in page; allow_signup:false already hid Sign up
Accounts carry a Status (active/unverified/pending); non-active accounts
cannot authenticate.
Admin lifecycle (endpoints + web UI):
- org: rename, member role change, member remove (last-owner guarded),
invite list + revoke
- project: create (web), rename, delete (from the org panel)
- hub admins: approve/deny pending signups (sidebar bell + panel)
- org-wide public-share audit with revoke
UX: onboarding empty-state (explains invites, paste-invite + create-project)
instead of a blank sidebar; visible "Search ⌘K" button; toasts replace
blocking alert(); responsive layout with an off-canvas sidebar; joining
via #join now survives a logged-out click (token carried through login).
Web uploads are attributed to the signed-in account, not the server.
Login/signup are rate-limited per IP.
Tests: domain/verification/approval gates, auth rate limit, org+project
lifecycle, owner-only guards, invite→join→role→remove over HTTP.

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.
